BY j. ED GR1LLo.

CHARLOTTESVILLE March IS
Though the day was almost as cold as
the day previous, the playing of the
Vets and Colts yesterday was brilliant,
wild throw to second by Dumont in
the ninth paving the way for the only
run of the struggle. which the Regu-
lars won, to o.
The ball was hit much harder than
the scorer would indicate. There We're
lots of hard drives which splendid
fielding prevented from being hits. and
both teams played at high standard
in the field, giving the pitchers grand
support.
1t was not until the final round that
the game was decided. After two were
out in this inning Judge plastered a
clean double to left center. Dumont, in
an effort to catch him mapping off of
the second base, threw past Sawyer,
and Judge romped to third. Barber
followed with swinging bunt down
the third base line and shanks could
not handle the ball in time to MAKE
play, Judge scoring what proved to be
the only run of the game.
Schwab was played at second and
demonstrated great fielding ability in
that position. making several difficult
stops. one in particular, which won
him the applause of his teammates.
was when Rondeau seemed to have
made base hit into right in the ninth
inning, which Schwab picked up in
deep right and whipped to first in time
to retire the runner
There was a lot of brilliant fielding.
Jamison and Rondeau both distinguish
ing themselves by long running catch
es of hard drives. H. Milan was in
particular ill luck, his brother robbing
him Of two long drives which would
have changed the complexion of the
game. The pitching on both sides was
about even, Harper and Rice showing
to the best advantage. and allowing but
one hit each in the three innings they
worked. The score:

taken for granted that the men will be
eligible to play in the tournaments this

men engaged in the sale of sporting
goods will be barred from competition

gagged in the sporting goods business
will therefore have a chance to get
out of it, If they wish to maintain their
amateur standing.

John ]. Donovan, secretary of the
Atlantic Coast Bowling Association. an
nounces that there will be more than
$50 five-man teams in the tournament,
according to his best knowledge. He
makes the almost astonishing state
ment that he would not be at all sur
prised to see 500 teams in the complete
list of entries when they close next
week. With these entries of over $50
five-man teams there are fairly sure
to be 1000 doubles and 1000 singles,
according to the best information.
1t is interesting to note that IL only
one ball were used by all the bowlers
in the tournament it would travel an
enormous distance. One prominent
able distance the ball would go under
such a condition and the result of his
figures was 2S7.OO0,557 feet or about
5000 miles. This distance would carry
the ball around the earth twice and a
third way around on the third trip.
