will push it to a success.
In the @. A. G.. Gymnasium.
The approach of spring seems to stir up the
athletes at the Columbia Club. The gymna
SUM and track are now filled up with the men
who the coming summer will carry the winged
arrow to victory. In one corner gather the
rowing men, discussing the subject uppermost
IN their minds and canvassing their chances in
the National regatta. Another group is made
up OF baseball men, with brawny Paul Hines
in the centre giving them occasional points,
The sprinters speed around the track, little
Jerry Elliott leading, and showing his heels to
quite an array of the men, while in the centre
OF the room Professor Crossley and his large
class of acrobats are tumbling, tossing, and
swinging in great style. 1t is busy scene, and
the busiest man is Capt. Stinemetz who is kept
moving from one group to the other making
suggestions and encouraging the boys. Capt.
Sam is ably assisted in his work by Lieut. Rich
ard Ryan. The G. A. G. boys are hustlng
set, and the idea uppermostin in each mans mind
seems to be to do something to honor his club
Columbias' Fortnightly Exhibition.
Another big crowd filled the G. A. G. house
last night to witness the entertainment given
fortnightly by the organization. Mr.. Bobby
Elder acted as master of ceremonies. Among

Smithson, of the p A. c., will devote his time
to single-scull rowing the coming summer.
Perkins, of the Analostans, will make very
efflclent of1icer OF the club. He is progressive
and wide awake.
Eddy Walsh, of the G. A. c., desires to give
up pitching and play in the left-feld. He finds
| his good right arm not in the shape he would
like and believes his pitching days are over
If the baseball men show up in sufficient
numbers to warrant the outlay it is probable
the c. A. G. will select another team to be
known as the Seconds" 1t isa good idea, and
Will serve to develop the players for places on
the first team.

of the Potomac Athletics at its next meeting is
