SECOND NATIONAL

Six Teams Make. Up New
League, Which Started at
Casino Alleys Last Night.

Another duckpin league celebrated its
inaugural last night when the Bankers
League made its debut at the Casino
alleys. The Second National Bank pock-
eted all three contests from the Bank Of
Washington, but in each instance the
scores were close. One thing Is indi-
Gated by the first set-that the teams
are well balanced. and that close race
is sure to develop before the season Is
Very old. Dooley's game Of 108 was
high, as was his set Of 301.
Six financial institutions are repre-
sented in the Bankers League. Besides
the two which rolled Wednesday night,
the following are included in the new
wheel: Continental Trust Company,
Washington Loan and Trust Company.
National Metropolitan Bank, and the
Riggs Bank. Manager Mccarthy has
reserved alleys on the second floor of
the Casino for the Bankers, and that
loop soon hopes to be one Of the fastest
in the city.

many bands is considerable. even for so rich a

GAR HAS 100000 MUSICIA MS IN SERVICE

~ NE feature of the Russian army which
from time to time has been brought 10
the attention of the world is the IN
usual size and number of bands in the
military forces of the Gar. The Russian soldier
has more martial music than any other soldier in
the world
There is no regiment in the Russian service
without its own band, and at posts where not
regiment, but only battalion, is quartered, that
battalion has its band. And these Russian mill
tary bands are big and impressive musical organi-
cations. Within each is brass band and or
chestra Of string and wood instruments, with, Of
course, the necessary touch Of brass and sheep
srin The result is that while these military
bands play primarily military music, they also
,sdapt themselves to the perform; nee OF such
music as we hear at symphony concert.
The average Russian army band or orchestra
has from forty to fifty musicians and the orches-
tras of certain guard regiments co Itain sixty.
There are more than 1000 Russian regiments, and
there are in the army about $4,000 bandsmen
Then in the naval and military schools and in
the navy there are bands and if to these are
added the twenty to forty musical pupils Of a
psnies of battleshps and various cadet schools
the number of military musicians in the armed
service Of Russia mounts to the surprising total
Of approximately, 100000 men.
Russia takes a commendable pride in it's mill
tary bands, and the musicians are all competent.
