just two weeks later turned IN the high
est game ever bowled at the small game
In this city-655 pins.
The tenpin game has shown signs of
reviving during the last year and the
scores which are daily being posted In
the only league in town, while not startl-
ing, are nevertheless an Improvement
over those of the proceeding four or five
years.
Jimmie Smith. OF New York, still re-
mains the undisputed champion Of the
world, and the Algonquin, OF which
he is a member. are still considered the
best in the country, yet neither Smith
nor the team were the winners Of the
single and fve-men event in the tourna-
ments held under the auspices of the
American Bowling Congress or the At
lantic Coast Bowling Association. last
spring.
In April, Washington was the scene Of
the second annual tournament OF the

duckpin. competing in the different events
from all over the United States and
Canada The tourneyp while II did not

nevertheless had a tendency to stimu-
late more interest in the local game.
The Washington herald., 1916-12-24
Wrestling.

Professional wrestling took on a big
boom here last February when Joe Tur-
ner. middle-weight - champion of the
world returned to this city from a sue
cessful tour Of New England and the
Western States.
Louis Zeraga, the local heavyweight
champion. had the wrestling game we'll in
his grip until Turner hit his home town.
Turner was Immediately challenged by
Zeraga- and the champion middle weight
easily defended his honors against his
heavier opponent in this bout.
Turner has met and defeated all grap-
piers that have shown here to date. and
last August staked his title and Police
Gazette belt against "Ptnky' Gardner,
the Western cyclone. Gardner was beat
en- in two straight falls. To Joe Turner
goes the honors in the wrestling world,
as he set his opponents down right and
left since his return in February, and is
ready and willing to meet the best that
the old States can produce in the mat
game.
Just ten days ago Turner again defend
ed his title against "PiDky'' Gardner, and
again he was the victor over <he great
Western cyclone. and as Paul Bowser,
from Akron, is the only contender for the
Eastern title, Turner has a grand chance
of eliminating him on New Year Day
when he meets the Akron Tiger in the
Ohio State town.
Mike Yokel is handing out challenges
to meet the recognized middle-weight
champion, Joe Turner. Yokel has twice
defeated Turner in finished wrestling
bout but the Washington boy believes
that he is still the master Of the Salt
Lake Mormon and has already signed to
meet Yokel early in the first month of
the year.
In this bout Turner will be pitted
against the best wrestler that the country
has seen in a long while in the middle
weight division, and his real ability as
a champion mat artist will be tested.
The Washington fans have for two
years figured on this Turner Yokel match,
and now that It is within their grasp 1t
is the real test of whether they will greet
1t with the sincerity that It holds.
Amateur wrestlers in the District en-
tered but two contestants In the South
Atlantic Amateur Association, which was
held in Baltimore last winter, and the
locals were passed by the board in easy
manner.
Joe Turner, king Of all local grappIers,
will endeavor to boost the amateur and
professional game in 1917, and here is
hoping for the prospects Of 1917 in the
mat game.

Rowing.

Rowing Jared well during tho past
year and although the local boat club s
victories were sparse in their supreme
struggles. they were not denied honor as
they brought back some victories and
many near victories.
The Middle States Regatta, held in this
city on Labor Day, was possibly the
most thrilling and successful OF any
aquatic event ever held here. Potomac
and Analostans held their own and We
cheerfully chronicle the following:
Probably the most notable achievement
among the Washington competitors was
the victory OF William Boryer, the An
alostan sculler, in the junior singles. Pit
ted against Ralph Adams, of the Column
bia Boat Club, Pittsburgh; Samuel Siegel,
Lone Star Boat Club. New York; Rivero
and Bryant. of the Potomacs, and Theo-
dore Marceau. New York Athletic Club,
young Boryer rowed a sturdy race and
won handily by eight lengths over
Adams. 1t was BSSyer's first appearance
as a sculler and his performance pre-
sages more brilliant rowing later.
In the intermediate eight-oared shells

Swimming.

The Washington aquatic followers can
be proud Of the records established by
its swimmers during the past year.
Coach r. J. Brunner, of the Washington
Canoe Club, was the walter Cramp"
of the swimming game and proved to be
one Of the best little promoters In this
vicinity.
1t was due to his untiring efforts that
the swimming and life-saving game in
the Capital City thrived beyond ex-
pectations during the past year. Drummer
was appointed in charge of the PoIice
Lfe-saving Corps, and was the real man
behind all swimming and life-saving
events held In this vicinity. The
swimmers of the Washington Canoe Club
had a very successful season and IL was
their individual efforts that made the life
saving contests held during August and
September q success
Bert Ainsley, Of the Washington Canoe
Club. again captured the honors in the
South Atlantic fancy dive ana quarter
mile swim Ainsley also annexed the
gold medal offered by the Police Depart
ment for all-around ability at the life
saving game, while his teammate, r.
G. Banman. finished second. Miss Phoebe
Preston captured the individual honors
for the women contestants.
In the championship ong-distance
swim the Washington aquatic experts
were. compelled to be satisfied with third
place, as Charles J. Cook, a British SUBJ
Ject, 10 years old, from Hong Hong,
China, finished first in q field of ninteen.
Yoursx, of the Central Y. NJ. c. a of
Baltimore. was second to reach
Aqueduct Bridge. while J. NJ. Cuts, OF
the Washington Swimming Club, finished
third, and was the first local boy to
breast the tape.
Even with the wonderful performances
put up by the Capital City malo aquatic
athletes, hats must be "doffed" to Miss
Phoebe Preston, Coach Brunner's find
OF the season. Miss Preston performed
some remarkable stunts during the past
year and captured all prizes of note in
this vicinity. only being compelled to
don on one occasion.
In the open one and q quarter mile
race from Chain Bridge to the AQueduct
Miss Preston was compelled to bow to
the ability OF Miss Lillian Cannon. OF
Baltimore, who captured the honors. and
who was followed across the line by her
1-year-old sister, Loretta In this race
Miss Carolina Nelson finished third and
Miss Preston beat Miss Whitacher for
fourth position
The nfe-saving events promoted by
Coach Brunner were one of the big
features in the swimming game this sea-
son, while the police swimming meet
and the playground 4rnests helped tc
increase the interest in the aquatic game

Cricket thrived during the past season
far better than in any previous season

in perfect condition for match games,
and the British pastime was given inn
petus by the interest that was mani
Tested by members of the British Lega-
ton and Britons on inspection work in
the Steel Plant and the public in general
President d. H. Rhodes and Dr. James
s. Cannon kept the interest at high pitch
during the season by bringing crack
cricket elevens from other cities here for
afternoon matches, and the local cricket
ers, with great team work, gained the
majority of victories over the visitors.
The galleries at the contests were greater
than at any previous season, and the
addition of portable dressing rooms and
shower baths installed on the grounds
proved an innovation and great convent
ence for the players.
The first game OF the season was played
at Sutton, Nd. Baltimore Sons Of St
George opposing the locals. resulting in a
victory for the Sons by the score Of 2
to q. although the Washington eleven
piled up 80 runs In the second inning.
But this went for nought, as the time
limit expired before the Sons got their
DaIb ana Ine score reverted TO the nrst
innings totals. Bennett was top score
for the Sons, with b6 to his credit, while
Branch accumulated 10 tallies.
On June 25 Washington tackled the local
Steel Plant eleven. winning by 56 to 81
Gibson, Of Steel Plant got wickets and
Ward. 3, while Hilarion Branch, of the
Mexican Legation. smacked down OF
the baled sticks and DR.. Cannon got 3
Branch also ran up a tidy score of %
On July Washington engaged the Balti-
more Sons Of St George on the local field
and had sweet revenge, trouncing the
Orioles, 50 to II
The local team went to Baltimore on
July II and copped the combat from the
Monumentals by "a to 3s. DR.. Jim Can
non shone In this game, topping down
wickets and putting up a bully good
fielding game.
Philadelphia Wanderers toddled to this
city on August 2. confident of lowering
the oolors of the locals, but were defeat
ed, SO to s.. in one OF the best exhibitions
ever seen here.
Then came along Baltimore Sons again
with g. reinforced team. Washington de-
clared their innings after having only five
men at the bat. Although Baltimore used
five bowlers, they could not stop Can
non, Carter. Brodertck and Been, and
Washington won. Ill to 81.

Trotting and Pacing.

Brotttng and pacing racing died in this
city when the government improved the
Speedway what is now known as Po-
tomac Park. thus taking away from the
many owners of fast horses, their only
place of matching their laudaole ami
mails.
A few years ago when this Speedway
was going full blast. many Washington
horsemen attended the Saturday matinees
in which a series OF races was run. and
fanciers galore. including President
Roosevelt, would turn out for these
events. making this somewhat a galaxy.
Many Washington horsemen now en-
ter the Rockville Fair Races as this is
the only place near Washington where
they have a chance to try favorite horse
or horses and these men await this event
like many kids do Christmas.
In the old days on the Speedway these
horsemen had to win four heats out of
seven to win a prize. which was donated
by Washington business men. The prizes
were for four classes. namely. classes A.
B. c and D. and sometimes a free-for-all
class On each Saturday four to five
heats were run. making twenty-seven
heats to the meet. but today the best
these old horsemen can do is to Sit back
and think of the good old days when
they could speed down this Washington
race course at a two-minute clip.
OF the twenty-five to one hundred
horsemen in Washington at that time
racing for the sport, a few are here at
the present time, such as Henry Lans-
burg. Tim Dunworth, Ed. Hall. Mike Nor
rison. Melvin Hayes. D. Mccarthy. J. A
Jones, Peter LOTUS, Austin Luftus, Bar
ney Dougherty, Maurice Joyce. and Gus
Brahler and others.
These old horsemen have been prom
ised trOtting course in the Potomac
Park. and they are anxiously awaiting
the time to come when the District gov
ernment will give them the same,

The poloists of this town, organized
under the name of Washington Branch
Of the Army Polo Association, have
a limited membership and the prin-

game are Gen. Robert Treat, Maj. Will
liam Mitchell, Capt. Coots, Hugh Le-
gare. Kent Legare. Warren Roberts,
George Oakley Totten, Ambrose Phil
lips, and Capt. Margette. Club matches
were not so frequent during the sea-
son owing to the fact that most of
the military men connected with the
locals were away on border duty.

Indoor Track.

II the question of the success Of local
scholastic. collegiate and independent
indoor track teams was put up to the
various coaches most OF them would
tell Of It being a poor season. but in
this indoor game, as the famous
"Grscian" past-time the entire local
sportdom agrees that George Green, now
coach of Tome Institute team at Port
Deposit. Nd, is the Mike Murphy of
the present track game
To George Green goes the success OF
the local 1916 indoor track season as the
records and performances Of the st.
Adams School for Boys is the real
creditable performances of local athletics
In the Hopkins meet this st. Adams
team, made UP of practically four men.
easily captured the scholastic and open
honors and no doubt would have landed
the collegiate trophy IL they had been
eligible.
St. Adams followed this UP, with the
worst of handicaps In the Georgetown
meet by landing the scholastic honor
and finishing second in the open events.
The same performance as repeated above
was repeated in the George Washington
meet. Although the FIVE local colleges
belong with the high schools and prep
schools and had entries in each OF
these games the honors of the season
track team made up of Brook Brewer,
scholastic century champion; Walter
Wallace, scholastic shot-put champion;
silly Maxim. scholastic quarter mile
champion. and Chubby Houser,
scholastic half miller
The performances of some of the
athletes Of the colleges and other prep
and high schools in the indoor meets were
| above the ordinary, but none Of their
performances equal that of the st.
Adams team. The Howard University
track team held a meet which did justice
| to any held in the East. and 1t was the
work Of Howard Drew and Ray Morse
that will kept the Brightwood indoor
| games fresh in the memory OF the track
fans until the first whistle Is sounded
In 1911.
Although George Green has left the
local campus for success in the Mary
land track game local fans are expect
ing great things of the indoor game in
1917 and as one best tip 1t Is keep your
| eyes on Maryland State because of
Brewer). and John OReilly's Hilltop
team
The Mount Pleasant Congressional
Church led the field of local indoor track
teams by holding a meet in its
gymnasium on January 2.

Scholastic Track.

St Albans made a countrywide reputa-
ton this past year. both on the cinder
track and the indoor meets. With such
n quartet as "Untz'' Brewer. SILLY Max
ium. Carter. and Wallace they proved TO
be unbeatable. easily taking all scholastic
trophies in all the meets they entered
men. They also have the honor Of break
ing the mile relay indoor mark. and also
won the relay interscholastic mile relay
championship OF the United States at
the Penn games.
''Untz'' Brewer proved to be the best
scholastic runner in the country In the
century and two-twenty.
Central again repeated its efforts IN
the inter-hlgh track meet by romptns
away with the meet by doubling the score
Of its nearest rival. Technical. The best
performers were Nilstead, Latta and
Berthwright, who were pushed hard By
Sheehan and Ttbbetts, Of Technical. and
Is. Wise, OF Business
