September g. at Bergen Point. The second
game will be played here September 13, on

Very few enthusiasts in this vicinity will re-
gard the fact that the Brooklyn American AS
socation team failed to make the rifle by which
a transfer was to be made to this city for the
remainder of the season. We have had enough
tail-ends in this vicinity, and the longer they
keep away from us the better. 1t would be an
excellent move to bring the Brooklyn Players
League here to finish up their games as sched-
uled, as they stand we'll up in the championship
race, and would create, we are sure, decided
revival in the national game. But with the
Brooklyn Association out of the way 1t Is doubt
fulfil the move could be made, as the directors
would rather see them make direct fight
against the League now that one important ele-
ment is out of the way. So it looks as II Wash
ington was in the consomme for this year at
least
The game of ball put up by the Columbia
Athletic Clubs team Friday afternoon at Capt.
tol Park was of the brilliant order. The men,
bers of the team lack somewhat in stick work,
which they will overcome by practicing and
learning to wait The fielding of Beall and
Bolway calls for the highest praise Keyworth
as a pitcher Is demonstrating to many of the
heavy batters in and around Washington that,
though with scarcely any practice, he is able
often to retire them in one, two, three order.
AS soon as Daily reduces his weight, which will
make him more active he will make base-run-
ners hug their bases closer than they even do
now. The Columbia Athletic Club can select a
strong team for the championship series from
such players as DAILY, Wells, ,Keyworth, Burke,
Green, Bolway, Sprigman, Walsh, Beall, Dick
inson, Jones, and King.

Company. He does not do much sub

Joe Faulkner has also been actively

for a long while hOated directly over
Tom and proceeded to nibble at the
toe of his rubber boot. Watching his
opportunity Tom seized the fish, and
driving his steel hook deep into its
side quickly threw his other arm
around its body, hugging it with all
his might and main. 1nstantaneOusly
the startled fish dashed the water with
its tail and fins, and vainly used all of
its enormous power to shake off its as

maintained his hold and was dragged
along upward with the scaly monster,
until the two came in collision with the
keel of the tug Owen, which broke

lines and other violent and unusual
connection at once alarmed Capt.
Swayne and his men, who swiftly drew
Tommy up. When they opened the

his novel experience amidst roars of
laughter. The Captain shook his head
incredulously until he glanced at the
hook in TOMS hand, which had on it

struggle.

hugging big fish, but he is accounted
