JERSEYS EXCEEDING SHORE LINE:

It is no new effort at conquest that furious old ecean has been induIging in at Seabright and along the narrow spit of sand fronting on the Atlantic thereaboIts. There was a time when the spot where Seabright stands was we'll inland, surrounded by narshy. 1oiy1ands. There are traditions go- ing to prove this. which are strength ened by historical records
 In one of Cooper's novels of seafar- ing life, written early in the last cen tury, a vessel was made to sail 1i- rectly into the Shrewsbliry river from the ocean. That could not be done now because of the existing sandspit. But map of the vicinity of the Nave sink Highlands, drawn by Lieut.. Rat ger. in 1769, indicates that the coast lime at the mouth of the Shrewsbury was then about a mile farther out to sea than it is to-day. This map con- firms the correctness of the Cooper tale and proves the compar atively rap-. i'd erosion of the Jersey coast.
 That the sea is continuing to eat it's way gradually into the Jersey coast is proved by statistics of recent years, which have been carefully compiled by the state geo1ogist. His report for 1885 showed that not only. are the beaches being driven back by the sea, but that the harbers, which were ac- cessib1e to coasters within the memory

REsTLEssNEss OF RoYs


 John 6. Collins, representing The Friends of Boys society, finds. in the examination of New Haven police records for the past seven years that 564 different boys under IS years Of age have been arrested in that city dllrin the past seven years who were .runaways from some city in the state Eor outside. the state. Of these 154 were boys living in Connecticut and 40 were from outside the state. Arrests in New Haven of boys of this class are increasing. the number being SIS for the past years beginning with 1911, as against. 186 for the four years previous to 1911, an increase for the three years of 192 over the preceding four years.
 This indicates restIessness and it's increase in present day boys; and, as MT, Collins says, it should have a place in the study of how criminals are made and their number added to. Most of these boys are simply locked up for day or two under more or less comfortable surroundings and then sent back home. Their .adven-s tllre has been rather pleasant, so much so that they very likely soon try it again. So the habit grows, and they are constantly mixed up with older men, usually of the worst sort For many it is steady progress. into a criminal life.

HAGAN ROLLS BEST
SCORE IN DUCKP|NS
Member of Atlantics, in North
east League, Bowls Game
of 1872.

Out at 1858 II street northeast, where
the Northeast League holds forth, Man
ager Caswell is doing considerable
Dragging about a duckpin score of Is2,
which was rolled by one OF his proteges,
Joe Hagan. Besides being a member of
the Atlantics, in the circuit mentioned;
Hagan is one of Caswelrs best custom
ers, and for that reason the willy little
manager is particularly proud Of the
record made by Hagan. Caswell Is
showering extra credit upon his cham
pion because the new mark caDe like
sunshine out of cluody skies.
Hagan is not a bowler whose average
weights down his back, the last COM
pilation of averages in the league quot
ing the bowler's ability at about 80 pins.
1t is because of this comparatively mod
est rating that Hagan's accomplish
ment is considered extraordinary, and
the new title holder is properly being
called the king of the Northeast. Al
leys." Below are the figures which ap-
pear in the ten boxes for the game OF
lS2 rolled by Hagan. Some of you COM
mon or garden variety of duckpin roll
crs might give them the "once over
and allow your imaginations and eyes
a few hours extra to thoroughly devour
the scores I'm this remarkable game.
Here is the score by boxes: 90, 50, S
10, l26, 146, 163, IT., 1S2.
A careful perusal of the above shows
that Hagan got a strike in the first
frame, and bettered it by making
clean sweep with the next two balls,
giving him a total of 20 for the hrst
box. HIS next two balls again cleaned
the alleys, giving him a spare on whicn
he got pins and a total of 70 for the
second box, bringing the score up to 9S
The next bail brought down all of the
pins, increasing his total to %, when
another spare was rolled, on which ne
got pins, and which brought the score
up to 81. On the strike which followed
he got but three pins, and his total for
the fifth box was figured at ITO. A spare
followed, after which pins were killed,
adding IS pins to the score, which
scared to l26 in the sixth frame. Along
came another strike, which was fol-
lowed by a spare, increasing the total
from 126 to l4G On the last spare pins
fell and the total climbed to l63. The
ninth box saw pins fall, and the final
frame netted 10 pins, the score again
mounting, this time to 1S2, completing
one of the best games ever rolled in
Washington.

SHERWOOD BRINGS
LEAGUE SUCCESS
Vice President of the Arcade
League Captains Quint
Which Is Leading.

Probably no one man in the Arcade
League is so directly responsible for the
almost phenomenal fortune which that
circuit has encountered during its three
and one-half years on the alleys as is
Harry H. Sherwood. who is vice presi-
dent Of the league. and who is serving
his second season in that capacity.
SherwoCd's keen foresight :.as put the
young league in a class by itself, and
has gained for the organization the
reputation of being the best managed
league in the upper section of the city
Elected to the vice presidency Of the
ATcadians by a unanimous vote, at the
beginning Of the 19l1-l2 season, Sher-
wood has worked with the other officers
and board of directors with but a single
end in view-that of improving the
standard of the game-2nd his untiring
efforts in that direction are admitted by
every follower of tho league to have
met with every success.
The Sherwoods. which uuint is TOW
leading the Arcade League, take their
name from the vice president OF the cir
cult. whose guiding hand has done
much TO keep that Quint in its lofty
position. Sherwood is captain OF the
team which takes his name. and he has

an effort TO finish the season in tie
leadership of the league Sherwood sell
dom bowls with his strong coterie of al
ley artists, it being his lot to sit on
the bench, from whence he directs the
work Of his bOwlcrs.
With the possible exception of Presi-
dent Costinett, probably no member Of
the Arcade League enjoys the unani-
nous popularity which is the lot OF
Harry Sherwood. Ccstinctt mas indI-
cateI that another year NAV find him
unable to preside at the head of the

BANKERS NEAR TOP
IN ARCADE LEAGUE
Efforts Of Captain FAINT Keep
Team Within Striking Dis
tance of Crown.

Tho presence Of the Bankers duckpin
team IN runner-up position in the Ar
cade League as the end OF the season
nears, is being attributed by its men-
oers TO the unceasing efforts of Can't. A.
). 5ant, who Is rounding out his second
year as the pilot Of that quint. At the
time Of the Incorporation Of the Bank
ers five, its members were made up OF
bowlers who were far from being rated
in the Class A column, but tenacity,
cooperation. teamwork and faithful
appearance on the alleys has developed
the team into one Of the most dangerous
iquintets Of duckpin bowlers which the
city knows. For all OF this, Captain
FAINT is largely responsible, his able d.
rectlon of the teams AFFAIRS bringing a
result which has won the admiration Of
every member of the legue
FAINT invaded The ranks Of the Arcade
bowlers shortly after that organization
sailed forth on the alleys In 1911. He
went to that body from the Southwest
ern alleys, where he had merely toyed
with the duckpins, more as a means OF
e pastime. than with the idea Of ever
heading a team OF his own. When lack
Carroway resigned as the captain OF the
Bankers. FAINT saw his opening and mzda
appl cation to President Costinett for a
berth as pilot of the ruddeTIess team.
Costlnett, having faith in the latent
ability OF FAINT, gave him a chance to
cisI ,ay his generalship. and the result
is team of duekpin artists which
stands second to hone in the District
Although Fants average on the alleys
is only IS. this is no indication OF the
success that has been his. As better
bow1ers were drafted. Fant stepped out
OF the active ranks to give way to bowl
ers who gave promise Of heightening the
standard Of the team. He handles his
rollers much as a baseball manager
shifts his pitchers, using a particularly
fast man IN his lineup on nights when
the opposing teams lineup Is most for
mida BILE BY thus substituting his bowl

best duckpin scores, Carroll having

third In the finals. This tournament
has been in progress since December
when the preliminaries were start
ed with fifty entrants. Cash prizes
were awarded in the entire series to
the amount of $10O. OF this amount
HaIley won $29; Baum, s2S; Wright,

Probably the most unexpected de-
NeIopment of the tournament was the
failure of Johnny Baum TO finish higher
