AMATEUR BASE BALL.

Amateur Championship at Stake.
The greatest game of the season, as far as
amateur playing is concerned, takes place
Tuesday afternoon at the National Park, Sew
enth and Boundary Streets between the Co.
lumbia and Potomac Athletic teams. The
question of the amateur championship hinges
on this contest, for If the Columbias win they
have a surety, while If the Potomacs win it
makes the fight more interesting between the
w. L. l. G. and these two. The Columbus
will present this team: Wright, c.; Leach, p.;
King. 1b. Green, 2b.; Fuller, 3D.; sprigman,
SIS; Bolway, If; Wells, CT, and DAILY, r.f.
The Potomacs will be Hodge, c., Kelly, p.;
Chapman, 1b.; Shoemaker, 2b.; Bishop, 3D.;
Ellis, SIS; Hauptman, If; Rebstock, CT, and
George, r.f

toms day, for the Princeton nine has de-
feated their blue-stocking rivals from Connec-
ticut after a remarkably plucky game. The
beautiful University field was crowded with
over 6,000 partsans of the teams. Yale had
large and noisy delegation. Cheers rent the
air except when the Yale players acted baby
like and refused to continue the game unless
the cheering ceased. Score:
