w. Il. 1. Athletes i'm Earnest.

The athletic talent fthe Washington Light
Infantry Battalion will be mainly directed to
the development of their ball team the coming
summer. If that proves a success other
features will be worked up later on. In Sc
lecting Capt. Allison Nailor as president of the
organization the members have shown ex-
cellent judgment, as he is well fitted to fill the
position. He is heart and soul for athletics.
The plan is to turn the Light Infantry drill
room into gymnasium, which, if done, will
give the battalion one of the finest rooms for
such purpose in this section. 1t would not
interfere with drilling or with dancing as the
and easily adjusted to any place. They could
build running track around the room that
would be model of its kind and which would
not require SO many circuits to make mile
The W. l.. |. c. are thoroughly in earnest in
regard to this athletic feature They have
nearly five hundred dollars on hand to begin
work with, which is a very fair start.

THE NATIONAL REGATTA.
How the Expenses Will Be Shared by the
Local Clubs.

EIow the Expenses VIII BE Shared Dy the
Local Clubs.
The rowing men of the Columbia, Potomac
and Analostan clubs have agreed on basis of
percentage in meeting the expenses of the
coming National regatta The Columbia
Athletics, having seven times as many men,
bers as the Potomacs, will pay seven-ffteenths.
The Potomacs, about one-fifth more than the
Analostans, pay five-fifteenths, leaving the
Analostans to pay the remaining three
fifteenths. Now, when the cost of the regatta
is reduced down by generous subscriptions
from citizens, it will lower the share of each
organization to very small figure indeed 1t
is the best way of dealing with the question
that has ever been devised, and is the idea of
that skllltul financier, Mr.. w. H. Gibson, of
the Z. a. Z. and secretary of the N A. A. o.

that over forty organizations will be present.

WASHINGTON, ~. u, March ~, 1871.
To the Editor of The Herald:
SIR: Your article in last Sundays HERALD,
though probably not meant, did me an in
Justice. 1t read as IL 1 challenged any
amateur in the District at 11S pounds weight
and when received an acceptance named
different weight to keep from accepting 1t.
Adams did not challenge me at 11S pounds.
His def read 100 pounds. l cannot reach that
weight, but will spar him at 115 pounds,
which will be giving him two or three pounds.
Ny reason for placing challenge some time
ago at l1S pounds was because your paper
named Wesley Cook as the champion OF the
District of Columbia at that weight, and,
thinking l could hold my own with him,
was willing to make match. Yours with
respect, JOE BATEMAN,

startle some of our best lawyers. In an
editorial discussing the various opinions the
Press said that the idea advanced by Mr.
Scsnlan, of Washington, was the best one
received.
The directors OF the National Base Ball
Club will attend to all legislation relating to
the maintenance of the club. Manager Trott
will attend to all business of the team, and to
him the directors will refer all complaints
The players have been given to understand
that Mr.. Trott is manager aud they must con-
suit him in regard to affairs.
The Waverleys, the team composed of a
number of employees OF the City Post Office,
have secured date with the Nationals and
will play them on Monday, April 4. The
Wsyelevs have some Of the best amateur
players in this District, while Winkleman
their pitcher, is well remembered as the star
of the Hartford and Minneapolis professional
teams, while Bishop, their catcher, is as good
as any in this section.
On Wednesday the Nationals play the
Washington Light Infantry, on Friday the
Pastime Athletics, of Baltimore, and on Satur-
day the Baltimore Association team, while It
is very probable the University of Pennsylva-
mia will come down here also. This is the
one college that lives up to its faith and does
not let the League dictate its course, as the
Harvard and Yale College teams are doing.
The Dupont Baseball team, having or
ganiZed for the season of 1891, under the
management of Mr.. Arthur O'Neill, 1O11
Connecticut avenue, is now ready to receive
challenges from any amateur team in the Dis
trict. The team is made up as follows: w.
Clagett, c.; Thomburgh and HELEN, ps.; f.
Wagner, 1b; H. Burdette, 2b; U. Donnelly,
SIS; X. Daskam, 3b; e. Thorn; IT,; c.
Hodge, CT.
If the Yale and Harvard College teams
possessed an ounce of that chivalry supposed to
be the attribute of we'll youth they would
sympathize with the American Association in
its struggle against League despotism, play
every one of the games scheduled with the
Association and leave it to the national
agreement clubs to cancel their games with
them This would throw the onus of break
ing their agreement upon the national agree
ment clubs.

splendid game may be looked forward to.
The Yale College team would not fulfill its

BAD WEATHER FOR BALL.
THE WEEKS PLANS DISARRANGED
BY THE STORMS.
Sensible Talk from Manager Trott
About the New National Club-Gen-
eral Baseball and Athletic News of
the Week,

The stormy weather of the past week has
disturbed the plans Of the National Base Ball
Club considerably, and it is not likely they
will play game here the present week, though
several are scheduled. The game set for next
Tuesday with the Boston American team has
been declared off for the present, as Manager
Trott is convinced that it would be impossible
to get the grounds in shape. The club has
played one game so far last Thursday in Bal
timore, when they were defeated by the score
OF is to f. The defeat was not so much dis
credit to the Nationals as 1t looks, from the
fact that the pitchers OF the Nationals played
with the Bsltimores, while the Baltimore bat
teries filled the positions on the National
Club. As it was the Baltimores batted their
own pitt hers all over the field, while the
Nationals could do nothing with their
own associates. SO this would make it a sort
OF stand off. ..The men," says Manager Trott
considering 1t was their first appearance Ger,
tainly showed up in good shape, and l have
no fault to find with any OF them" Continu-
ing, Manager Trott said he is sure the Wash
lngton public will be well pleased with the
team, but they must not expect too much at
the start, for the men have not had any prac-
tice, and they should have at least two weeks
good outdoor sunny weather in which to lin
Der up. For the present, through the cour-
tesy of the " Washington Light Infantry Bat
talon, the team will have the use of their
large hall and gymnasium and will be at
work there every day. Dunlap has not vet

regatta is that the Association failed to adopt
the short-dstance races, as they are un-
questionably the best test for speed. II they
had, as was expected, the course would have
been between the Aqueduct Bridge and the
Potomac boat-house. Chairman Grant is a
hustler, and, as his associates are just as
clever in such affairs, it can be set down for
a certainty that Washington will have this
year the greatest regatta ever held under the
auspices OF the N. A. A. o.

The ". Nj. G. A. Athletic Club.

The Y. NJ. c. A. Athletic Club will make
a speciality this season of hurdle and fiat races,
vaulting, and high and broad jumping, while
considerable time will be given to advancing
their baseball club. They had very fine
amateur team last year, and expect, with the
increased inducements of this year, to improve
it at least SO per cent. They are an energetic,
pushing set of young men and deserve all the
success that will come to them in honest
amateur sports.

The c. a. c. Won't Play the Nationals


The Columbia Athletics will not play the
Nationals OF this city, because they are not

such position, and say the time will come.

when harmony prevails, and all are banded

Will get them. The G. A. c. people say if
they play against the Nationals it will jeopo-
die their games with the various college
teams, and they will not do this under any
circumstances. The fact that the University
of Pennsylvania has played the Athletics is
cited by the National people to show that ali
colleges are not barring the Association peo-
pie, and it remains to be seen if the other
colleges will refuse to play the University of
fennsylvania. Nothing has yet been dohe to
