IN THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
An Interesting Game Yesterday Between
Georgetown and the Duponts.

An Interesting Game Yesterday Between
Georgetown and the Duponts.
An interesting football contest took place
yesterday afternoon between the Georgetown
University team and the Duponts. The game,
which was played on the campus of the uni
versity, was witnessed by quite good crowd,
who risked pneumonia by standing on the
cold ground during the play. The Duponts
had the services OF Lewis, Burritt, and young
Church, of the @. A. c., and, outside of them,
their team was very light one in comparison
with the collegians. The game commenced
at 3:l5, with the Duponts in possession of the
ball, and by some really good work they forced
1t down the field for about thirty yards, the
work being accomplished by Church, Pyne,
Clark, and Hatton. AS the bali neared goal
the Georgetowns woke up apparently, and by
some hard rushes of Dyer and Callahan
blocked the further progress of the Duponts
On getting control of the ball Fleming put in
a long run and carried the ball well up into
The enemy's territory, He, aided by good
guarding of Hennon and Baher, made another,

lining up Clark made free kick which, be-
ing well caught by Fleming, that doughty lit
Tie player started on run that was brilliant
lie made serpentine course through the Du-
points, his lodging being wonderful, while he
shook OIL Burritt, Tallmage, and Roberts who
tackled him. He went over fifty wards ere
Church stopped him. Another touchdown
followed this on which a goal was kicked:

noticeable, while Church did the lions share

ATHLETICS,

On Christmas day the last and most import
ant game OF football will be played in this
city, and as the champion Colum bias will
have opposed to them the pick of the best
players OF our city, many of whom have won
honors on the best football teams in America
there is naturally great uncertainty as to the
result. The Q. A. c. will present the same
team 1T pitted against the GeorgetoWns for the
championship, and they are confident of win
ming. The contest last Christmas was mem
orable one and though they defeated the Co
lumolas The struggle was one of the best of
the season. The GAN Washingtonn had the
service Of Porter, Phil King, Ordway, and
Others the first named being the leading
player OF the country. On the occasion of the
approaching contest the All WashingtoDs will
be selected by Mr.. Sam King, and he is
using considerable judgement In making up
the team. The fact that Phil King and Ord
way will be behind the line is enough to guar
antee great game The line will be made up
OF such players as Blount, of Lehigh; O'Don-
nell, Eugene Dyer Brown, Ramsburgh Sam
King, Ayers, Church, Odom, Taylor, and 9TH
ers, while Fleming and Hare will be utilized
behind the line. The game will be started
promptly at noon. The grounds have been
placed In splendid shape, and the struggle

Manager Barnie will sound rather good for
this CITY, He and Johnny Roche are side
partners
Two things we are assured of, brainy
manager and wealthy backer who will use
every endeavor to advance the team.
The SUNDAY HERALD was the first paper
mere to inform our people that the Messrs.
wagner, of Philadelphia, had secured con-
trolling interest in the National Baseball
Club and that next year the club would be
run under their name, with Mr.. William
barnie as manager. This news would have
been given in full in our last issue had il not
been that lack of space made it impossible.
Enough was stated, however, to give our
readers the first information of the most i'm
portant event In the history of local baseball
affairs; AS stated in THE HERALD the only
one OF the old force left in the ship is Mr..
affairs In this city, and this fact gives con-
siderable pleasure to our people, las he possesses
Ine confidence and esteem of every baseball
magnate In America, and it was proper that
ne above all others should remain in the or
ganiZation. The Messrs. Wagners are very
wealthy manufacturers Of Philadelphia, who
follow baseball purely from the love of it, and
they took control of the National Club be-
cause by the amagamation they were deprived
OF their own club, the Athletics. They are
wide awake, snappy business men, and it is
their aim to see a club controlled by them
pushed to the front. AS they have selected
splendid manager in Mr.. William Barnie, the
prospects are that Washington Will have a
real live team in 1892. The old foggyisms of
the past are to be dropped and in their place
VIII arise management that knows how to
keep step TO the music Of the time. Things
look propitious for 1892
The board of directors of the new League is
as follows; Brush, of Cincinnati; Won der
Abe, of st. Louis; Hart, of Chicago; Soden. of
Boston; Won der Horst, of Baltimore, and
Scanlon, of Washington. The various com
mittees are: On schedule-Byrnes, Won der
Ahe, and Hart. On payers-Young and
Phelps. On rules-Reach, Won der Horst, and
Brush. On national agreement-Phelps,
Rogers, and Young.
Manager Barnie says he will have the first
pick of the Athletic Club and he is confident
that frst-class organization Will be secured.

number of years he was engaged in business
mere, and In that way met many business peo-
pie. lie is now looking over the field and is
going to make big drive to bring Roger

The fact that next year the admission fee
to baseball games is to be raised to fifty cents,
or double the price of last season, is not q
pleasing prospect, for it has been demon
strated in the past that such rate of admis
sion will not meet with the sanction OF the

dividual play. The teams were as follows:
Referee, O'Donnell. Umpire, Gately.

The Boys Club, of the Peck Memorial
Chapel, Twenty-eighth and NJ streets, have a
strong football team that, so far, has been
victorious over all corners of their weight.
The team is as follows Left-end, Philip Gar

Andrew Burrows; centre-rush, Eugene Lucas;
rightrguard, John Weller; right-tackle, Har-
quarter back, William Sebastian; half backs,
Oliver Sears and Robert Leopold; full-back,
Joseph Macfarland (captain). On Wednes-
day afternoon this team beat the Cecils, of
Georgetown, by score of 12 to O. The game
was played on Analostan Island. The Boys'
Club team are ready to meet all comers of i2O
pounds, average weight, and promise fair and
square playing.
