| down with fever during the best part OF
| the racing season, but he won four firsts,
among them again was the championship
| of Virginia.
This has been his most successful season.
| He has won, including the event Of sat
! urday, thirty-five firsts, twelve srcoDds
and five thirds, among his victories being
| some or the best races run in the South
| tnIs year. At Charlotte, n. T., on May

cap competition in 2:29, also II track rec
ORD. AT the Columbia Athletic Club track,
this city, on May 80, he established u DIS
irict oDe-quarter mile record of 81 sec
oDds.
At Portsmouth, Va, June II, he had
marked to his credit three competition
rccords-onc mile, open, 2:..3, from scratch,
| one mic handicap, 81, ana one-han miIe,
open, zoo. on tue same day al The same
place, with mate, he won a one-mIe
tandem race in 2:l6, which was another
state record.
At Richmond, August 10, Schade did lot
| OF Eigh-cisss riding. Up To this time the
Virginia state record, "a 81 seconds for
a qnarter OF Il nile, was held by Fred Sims.
In the opening event Schade went the dis
tance in 33 20 seconds. He rode n half
mile in iii, n mile in 2:34 and two miles
in 5:22. In all of these races he made new
track records.
At Greenwood, $. C., September l and
lc, schade did his next good work, break
ing and making five track records. He rode
a quarter iii "a 90 seconds, Il half in
1907, one nile in 2:30, two miles in 5:16,
and five miles in 1914. He then rounded
out his visit tu Greenwood by winning a
three-nile special invitation event in T:31,
beating such crack Southern riders us
Conerct and MiNsun.
Schadc's next starts were made at the
diamond tournament at Charlotte, n. C.,
on September 20. Here h e rode half mile
in 90 and two miles from the scratch in
5:O3. Both were handicap events and
both are Southern competition records.
At Columbia field. this city, three weeks
ago, on nearly Il siX-lap track, Schade
rode 4 paced mile in zig 40.
The Columbian College boys are max
ing great record on the gridiron. They
have been the busiest eleven in the city
since the football season began. and have
been beating nearly everything they have
tackeled. only one or two defeats being
marked up against them Their last vic
tory was that over the Central High School
team on Friday, when they didn't allow
the school boys to score.
Several of the members of the college
team have been chosen to go on the Varsity
eleven. Among them are Fugit, the cap
tain. and half back and Louis Weaver, full
back. The taking away of these two ex-
ccllent players will, OF course, weaken
the college team but SO much pride is felt
in the Varsity eleven that there will be no
objection, and their places will be taken
by some of the other many good players
OF the college.
There is either a misunderstanding about
the Columbia Athletic Club-Lehigh
Thanksgiving Day game, or some people
are rather late in finding out the facts con-
ecrning Ii. Last Wednesday Captain Wells
informed The Times that the game with
Lehigh had not been fully settled, but that
the Athletic Club men had made proposi-
ton regarding a guarantee and LelIigh's
answer was expected in q day or two. On
Friday. IL was announced on very excellent
authority that the Thanksgiving Day game
would he played by the Athletic Club and
the Columbian Varsity team, the infer
ence being that the guarantee proposition
was not satisfactory to Lehigh. and on
Saturday it was given out at Baltimore
that Lelligh would play the Athletic Club
team of that city in that city on Thanks
giving Day.
The victory of the Gallaudet boys over
the Baltimore City College eleven on Sat
urday was a clean and fine one, and has
streng thened their faith in their ability to
down the Johns Hopkins men, whom they
are scheduled to encounter at Baltimore on
wednesday. The Gallaudets, however. if
reports OF the streng tn of the two teams are
to be relied upon, will run against differ
ent lot of men when they tackle Johns Hop
kins from those they met on Saturday.
though the Baltimore City College men are
by no means TO be sneezed at. The Johns
Hopkins eleven has been in the hands of
Burlingame, of the University of vir-
ginia, an experienced and excellent coach.
for some time. and it is said he has made
a formidable aggregation of them.
And now 1t appears to have come to
pass that there may be a controversy over
the possession of: another local player.
Since the Columbian men took it into their
heads to organize q Varsity team, Reeves
Lewis, who is taking course in patent
law at the university, has been handling
the candidates for positions on the new
eleven, and it has been the general belief |
that he would be made their captain when |
the men were finally selected.
Now it is given out that Lewis. who |
played halfback on the Columbia Athletic |
Club team last year, has returned to his first |
love and will play with the Athletic Club |
men in their Thanksgiving Day game This |
is turn In affairs that was not looked for. |
and now ti,at the Athletic Club and Varsity |
men are likely to line up against each other ]
