the doings of the Potomacs on That occsi-
sion, If reports are true. IL is claimed
by the friends Of the Orienis that Neither
Bright nor Clark should have been played
by the Potomacs, because both of them are
Columbia Athletic Club men, and belong to
the athletic club team. These importa-
tions, IL is said. did much toward keeping
the Potomacs from being beaten.
While the missleeds Of many Of the riders
in the Dupont Cycle Clubs road race were
being looked into, The Times said that the
result of the investigating committees de-
llberations, whatever that might be. was
liable to bring about a match race between
Fred Sims and Tom Mudd.

1t is said that Bernard. Wefers, the cham
pion amateur sprinter, has been asked to
referee the game between the Shamrocks
and Rockville Academy teams at Capitol
Park this afternoon. wefeTs is an cnthusi-
astic football man. but he is not in the game
this year, as he wants to take no chances on
being hurt.
The announcement that the Potomacs are
willing and ready to go into series of
games with the Columbia Athletic Club
and Orients for the District championship
has brought out the statement that there
are several other teams around town that
believe they can play football q little bit.
that would like to get into the championship
battle, and that will no doubt think they
have been treated badly If they are kept
out of it. Among these are the Biakes. Can
terburys and Shamrocks. Members of
these clubs have given the assurance that
they are all desirous of playing for the title.
As the Gallaudets have refused to meet the
Columbia Athletic Club team and declined
another game with the Potomacs, they are
out of the possible championship combna-
ton, but the Columbian Varsity is on hand
TO step into the place. which would make a
string of seven teams to go into the strlig-
gle, and they ought TO be able TO keep
things moving at 4 lively rate in the foot
hall circles for some time to come.
There was good deal of hope and some
reason to believe that Yale would be rep
resented at the Georgetown College track
and field meet to be held next Saturday,
but both this hope and belief have been
dissipated. Among the communications
received by Manager Douglas from col
leges invited TO take part in the events
is one from Yale saying that, owing to
other engagements and the distance her
men would have to travel, it viii be i'm
possible to send delegates.
The football men all over the city are
much interested in the game between the
Rockville Academy team and the sham
rocks tu take place at Capitol Park this
afternoon. Thiswill he the Shamrocks' first
regular lineup for the year. A great deal
has been said about the team and every
body is anxious to see how good they are.
The Rockville men are said to be capable
of putting up a very stiff article of ball,
and il the Shamrocks beat them and do it
right handily, they will be rated strong
enough to give any of the local combina-
tons troublesome time.
