CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The Sowth Washjngton Business Men's Bowling Club havé captured the Jonah that hus followed ‘them since their en- trance into the District Bowling League, and buried him so deep that fhey are hope- ful of never seeing his taunting face again. With a record of twelve games lost and none won, they last night took the bowicrs from the Columbia “ Athletic Club into camp, and won from them two of the three games rolled. The Columbias were some- what handicapped on account of the ab- sence from the team of Stitt, one of their best men, who was necessarily laid off on account of injuries fevently received in an unavoidable accident. The entire team, however, had an off night, while, on the other hand, the Business Men bowled in much the best form shown by them so far this season, their. score in the opening game being the best yet made by them in a@ league contest. : The Columbias took the lead in the first frame of the initial contest, but were over- taken by the Business Men in the next in- ning. Land in this game made the highest score of the evening, securing a total of 177 pins, although he had but 110 to his credit in the seventh frame. The Business Men had 136 pins margin at the close of the game. The score follows: - BUS. MEN'S B. CLUB.

If we ~:ust open long suits I prefer the ‘modified’ whist that the Pyramids of Boston are playing, under which system the opening of a two, three or four shows trump strength, but that of a five, six, seven, eight or nine does not deny it, As a matter of fact, however, not one of the Pyramid players sticks close- ly to the long suit openings, scarcely more than the players of my own team do. We all use trump-showing leads to a certain extent, but with us it is a voluntary matter whether we shall declare’strength or con- ceal it. Hence we are not obliged to de- clare weakness if we have not strength.” WILL PLAY YALE. A Hard Contest for the Infantry Basket Ball Team. One of the most interesting events of In- door athletics this season is the game an- nounced for Friday evening next between the Light Infantry basket ball team, the champion club of the District, and the crack Yale ’varsity team. As the game will be played under the naflonal rules, which call for five men on a side, the entire play- ing space at the Light Infantry Armory would be too large for the contest, so that about one-third of the east end will be screened off and seats provided there for the spectators. The Light Infantry boys have been hard at work for the past week preparing for the contest, and there is con- siderable rivalry among the players for places on the team that will meet Yale. ‘There is already a demand for seats, and there is every prospect that the largest crowd of the season will be in attendance. Registration of Athletes. ‘The new registration laws of the A. A. U. are now ia operation. They give to the members of the committee all the powers that were formerly vested in the board of governors and subcommittees. Each and every member of the committee in his own district is supreme. He has the right to sanction games, schedule games for A. A U. clubs, suspend athletes, reinstate ath- letes, try all cases of infractions of the rules and to solicit and receive applica- tions for registration from athletes. ~The following is a list of the members of the committee with addresses: Metropolitan Association, Bartow 8s, Weeks, 100 Broadway, New York, Auantic Association, John W.
