There are many persons who are in
terested in tenpins and still do not
roll TO any appreciable extent. At
Thum's the other night the famous old
keystone and the crack Chauncey COM
binations had tussle, and along the
alleys watching the contests were
Charles Brendon, a well known archi-
tect of this city, and Clarence +. Chap
man, a member Of the Stock Exchange.
They were interested in the doing. Of
the Keystone five.
There is talk Of a five-man match
between teams selected from the board
of governors of the National Bowling
Association, the contest TO be run of
on the practice alleys at the Grand
Central Palace. Elmer +. DUNCAN, the
national president, and William II. Val
entine. the local chief executive, Will
be the respective captains.
MANY a bowler would like TO know
Of the competitive ability OF the heao
Of the association. BE II sald that
DUNCAN is a bad man TO be opposite
when the game is close.
One Of the fraternal orders which
will be well represented IN the big
tournament is the Benevolent PTotec-
tive Order of Elks. Teams have been
entered from lodges in New York. Pat
erson, Reading, Penn. Newark, y. D.
and Jersey City.
incidentally, the New York lodge
never has had team in q national
tournament before, and to make the
bow conspicuous two five-man combi-
nations. FIVE doubles and ten singles
have been entered.
Collegiate bowling is no new thing.
Ten years ago collegiate champion
shin tournament WAS held and first
nrize was won by Columbia. Yale and
Princeton will roll at the Grand Cen
trsl Palace Friday night to settle rival
claims for titular honors. Doubles and
singles will follow the dve-man con-

Il seems TO be fad with many Of
the athletic clubs to run novice road
races instead of scratch and handicap
runs. Three such races are scheduled
within a month; the Sheridan A. c.,
to-day; the Psstime A. c., on Sunday,
April II, and the trinity Club, Brook
lyn, on Sunday, April 20.
The reason, as one club explains, for
holding novice runs is that the novice
pays his entry fee. In scratch and han
dicap races, the promoting club has to
write to the clubs for the athletes
entry fees. In many cases they wait
from three to twelve months before
receiving the money.
After Colonel Foote'S orders for
every man of the l4th Regiment to turn
out for athletic instruction and compe-
tition, many of the other regiments will
do the same. Athletics are an asset to
any regiment. More than three fourths
of the New York Athletic Clubs ath-
letes are members of the fist Regi-
ment.

Columbia Not Looming Up
in Battle for Honors
When Triangular Tie
Is Broken in April.
By l.. de B. HANDLEY.

While athletic club watermen are
taking a short and well-esrned rest in
anticipation of national championship
aquatic tournament OF the Amateur
Athletic Union, to be resumed on April
3, the interest of fans will centre upon
the college meets between Yale, Penn
sylvania and Columbia, which have
been arranged TO definitely settle pos
session Of the seasons intercollegiate
swimming team title.
At present a triangular tie exists,
each of the mentioned teams having
scored three victories and suffered one
defeat, but critics concede only a bare
chance TO the Morningside men in the
swim-off, and believe that the real fight
for honors will occur when Yale and
the Quakers clash.
In this meet il is more than probable
that the relay race will be the decid
ing contest. But how the rival Cuartets
compare at 500 feet, the dista. se TO be
covered. is mere guess work. II may be
remembered that in the February con-
test one Of the Yale men dislocated his
arm and the team failed to finish, so
that 10 estimate of its speed could be
made.
Another remarkable illustration of
the sensational swimming ability devel-
oped Of late b. our schoolboys was fur
nlshed few days ago, when the team
Of the Brookline Gymnasium, of Bos
ton, clipped the 200-yard national rec
ord by two-ffths OF second and set it
at | minute 70 l-5 seconds. The for
mer mark was established in January
by Walter Ramme, Harry O'Sullivan.
James Reilly and Richard Bennett, of
the New York Athletic Club. Now on
the Brookline team swim three high
school lads-Leo Handy, VI. Prender-
CAST and Russell Demand one college
sprinter, R. Hitchcock, Of Harvard. A
brilliant achievement, in truth, for the
youngsters.
Joseph Dunn, Of the New York Ath-
letic Club, the former American high
diving champion, won the Eastern try
out for the national gymnastic titular
contest, and has been sent 10 the Pan

TO Representative Plumb of Della

introducing the school ripper. The
measure would take the life out of the
present state system and set public ed
ucation in Ohio back many years. At
one stroke II would destroy what ex-
perts In school matters worked many
months to bring about. II Is assumed
about the statehouse that Governor
Willis Is favorable to the ripper.

school code which the wreckers In the
Legislature have now reached in their
reign OF destruction. at is doubtful"
the doctor Is quoted as saying, 'if
there has been more constructive and
progressive school legislation enacted
by a single session of the legislature In
ANY other state within the last half
: century"
But, Of course, the head of the edu.
cational department of the United
States has no appreciation OF the par

Change
Name OF Chicago Junction
To willard

Chicago Junction will be known in
the future as Willard, Ohio.
This action in changing the name
OF the town was taken at mass
meeting of the citizens of Chicago
Junction at which there were $50 resi-
dents of the town present. The vote
was unanimous for changing the
name to Willard. This is in honor of
Daniel willard, president of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, which runs
through the town.
There has been some talk of
changing the name for some time as
the name Of Chicago junction caused
a great deal of Inconvenience to the
b. & 0. railroad because of it's con-
flicting with Chicago, Ill. AS the rail
load has helped the town, the citi-
zens were all in favor of changing the
name.

corpse.
Arriving at the spot, the man was
discovered by the side of the creek,
talking in a disconnected way to sew
eral by-standers. One hasty survey
convinced the Mccormick attendants
that the only fall the man had sus-
tanned was off the "water wagon" and
the return trip was made in silence.

THE SCHOOL RIPPER APPEARS
columbus Dispatch)

columbus D1SpatCh)
The school ripper has appeared.
There are two reasons why it was
bound to come. Nothing good was
ever done that there were not malcon-
tents ready to employ every oppor-
tnnity to undo it; second, for too
many, the mission Of the new admin
istration Is to destroy what was done
i by it's predecessor, no matter what
it's quality.
The present school code was enact.
ed after a thorough survey of condi-
-tions by competent and unprejudiced
persons; it's terms were thoroughly
discussed by teachers and school di.
rectors and, in every gathering for
such discussion, were overwhelmingly
approved. A small minority protest
ed and is still protesting out of sheer
stubbornness or because of the loss OF
some personal perquisite. In the fact
Of new legislation pledged to smash,
II sees its opportunity and is improv-
ing 1t.
The code may not. probably is not,
perfect In every particular. But 1t
was devised by sincere and honest
men, whose only purpose was to
scrape off the barnacles and give the
ship Its proper speed and direction,
and 1t ought to have fair test OF ex-
perience. There will be no great
harm in waiting decent length of
time till the virtue of its provisions
is fairly weighed. A great public In
jury may be inflicted by admitting at
this time the man with the axe.

Recital
By Mrs. Mcdowell Saturday
Afternoon
10y 3. Crltchfeld.)

Noy p. SVtSCUVetus)
It is to be regretted that all music
lovers, especially lovers of Mcdowell
music in our town, were not permit.
ted to hear the lecture.recital of Mrs.
Edward Mcdowell at the Presbyter-
ian chapel Saturday afternoon. The
capacity audience gave evidence of
great delight by their frequent and
hearty applause. She first gave a lit
tie preliminary talk, which was the
story of the work of the Mcdowell
memorial association in Peterboro,
N. II. Her personality is most fas-
cinating and she made her recital de-
lightfully informal and entertaining.
She told her audience that she did
not pose as vlrtuoso and yet her won
derful touch, with her superior know.
ledge of music and her phenomenal
memory, combine to make her won
derful interpreter Of her husbands
genius. No one else knows better
how he wanted his music played and
~ hOduo huSh W hic uolhiA Ol "
hear 1t as he would have played it.
Mcdowell was endowed with many
natural gifts, those of poet, painter
and musician, so that his parents hes
itated at first in which he should
specialize, but each one tells of ere.
ative power In art, and these. togeth-
er with the companionship of such
wife, who must have been just the
useful counselor he needed, explain
in part his achievements.
Mrs. McDowell's program given be-
low was interspersed with many en-
tightening explanations. Some of the
music numbers were founded on a
special poem. For instance, No. 2
was preceded by a stanza from
Goethe, No. 3 from Shelly, and No.
from Tennyson. 8 and 9 followed a
stanza of his own poetry. Number 7
Of the program was the most import
ant of all. The "Keltic" sonata was
the last of four which he wrote and
dedicated to his friend, e. Grieg. No
where else in his works are the distin-
gushing traits of his genius so strik-
iukly disclosed-the breadth of imag-
inatiOn, the magnetic vitality, the po-
etic charm. 1t is founded upon an
! ancient Gaelic legend in which the
death of the hero Cuchullin is thus
described by historian. Then fell
the great hero of the Gael. Thereat
the sun darkened and the earth trem-
bled when, with crash. fell that pill
lar of heroism, and that flame of the
war-like valour of Erin was extln-
| guished." This is but fragment Of
the description and, superb as it all
is, it is paralleled by the Mcdowell
tone-picture. II there Is anything in
the literature of the piano since the
death of Beethoven that is comparable
with this sonata II has yet to be
found.
AT the close of the program proper,
Mrs. Mcdowell graciously offered 10
play a few favorites at the wish of
the audience. Several numbers were
requested, and this was not the least
delightful part of the program.
