WILL BE NOTABLE,
The Coming Trip of WheeImen t.
Baltimore.

The movement for trip Of united wheel
men Of this city to Baltimore has assumed
definite shape, and at a meeting held We'd
nesday evening at SO 18th street, which
was attended by about fifty riders, it was
decided to take the trip Sunday, June T.
Every wheelman present was heartily in
favor of the plan. and Judging from the
enthusiasm displayed it Is probable that be-
tween two hundred and three hundred
riders will attend and help make the event
a notable one in the history of the cycling
fraternity of the District.
Mr.. Chas. H Grace the lieutenant of the
cycling branch Of the Eastern Athletic
Club, was called upon to preside, while Mr.
w. X. Larrimore was selected a. secretary
posed trip was given, and Mr.. Larrimore
" no had investigated the matter on his
own accord. reported that the cost of the
trip on the special train would be s1.2O for
the round trip, the special train to be made
up of Royal Blue Line coaches. with plenty
of baggage cars attached for the accommo-
dalton of wheels 1t was the general belief
that lower rate ticket could be secured,
and a committee, consisting Of MeSSrs. W.
H. Henshaw, r. r. Revill and w. X. Larri-
more was appointed to Investigate.
The matter Of entertainment in Baltimore
was next discussed. AID the opinion Of the
Baltimore riders on the trip was given, in
every case hearty welcome being extend
ed to the local wheelmen. A committee to
prepare the arrangements at the Baltimore
end of the line was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Frank ]. Wissner and w. K. Larri-
more.
1t was also decided to- have a suitable
souvenir for the occasion, which would be
pertty and attractive and yet inexpensive.
These souvenirs, according to the plans,
are to be distributed not only among the
Washington delegation, but to the Balti-
more wheelmen as slight token Of ap-
probation and commemorative of the trip.
Messrs. w. H. Henshaw and L. o. Slack
were appointed committee to attend to
the souvenirs.
The action Of the Commissioners in re-
gard to the wheeling fraternity of the Dis
trict was discussed at length. The recent
bicycle regulations, which are row being
enforced to the letter by the police force,
were talked over. While some of the
measures were received with approval,
many of the regulations were condemned.
and especially their arbitrary interpretat ton
gested in the formation of a United Wheel
mems Association, similar to that suggest
ed by The Star a few weeks ago. BY or
ganiZing the wheelmen could not ONLY
combat the regulation unjustly affecting
them, but have enforced the laws passed
for their benefit
An illustration of the need of such an as
ISOLATION furnished to the meeting.
The wheels Of the members were stacked
on the outside, and while in the midst of a
dis cussion, gentleman opened the door
and made the announcement that some one
was stealing a wheel The bicyclists ran
out. and the thief was captured. He proved
to be a middle-aged white man, and when
found was leading a wheel up the street,
He told such a number of conflicting stories
that every one was convinced Of his guilt,

here he played ball with the club of his
town. Caldwell, Ohio. He also played with
number of teams throughout the state
and gained name as an infielder. Since
the organization of the Departmental
League Mr.. Kellar has taken an active
interest in it's affairs. He assisted DIR.
Young IN the management of the team
last year but this year was asked to take
the burden upon his own shoulders, Dr.
Young being obliged by business to resign.
Mir. kelar played right field with the team
last season.
The Fort Myer team is looked out for by
Mr. Peter Johnson. Mr.. Johnson organized
the team last year and made such progress
that he decided to apply for admission into
the Departmental League. He has play ed
in several military posts where he has
been stationed, Principally at Fort Mo
brara, Neb. He is a Swede and intends to
go back to his native country soon taking
the facilities needed to introduce the Amer
lean national game there.
Mr. Thomas j. Fisher will manage the
team from the District Commissioners Of
flee. He succeeded Mr.. c. b. Hunt He
has secured several new men who will
strength the team, and has been instru-
mental in bringing about a reorganizat ton
of the club. He has revived interest in the
organization and proved himself even
al this early stage the man for the place
He will watch the playing of his men, and
VIII endeavor to get the strongest combi-
nation possible.

and he swas held until a policeman arrived
and took him into custody. There was a
clear case of larceny against him, and a
half a dozen witnesses were summoned to
appear in court
They appeared on time ready to give
their testimony, but the case did not come
up. 1t was found that the assistant district
attorney had entered nolle prosequi in the
case, and had directed the issuing Of an
order for the return of the wheel to it's
owner. The witnesses were indignant. and
calling on Mr. Birney. the district attorney
demanded the rearrest of the man and the
proceeding Of trial.
A committee on permanent organization
was appointed, consisting Of members from
all sections Of the city. This committee
consists of Messrs. r. r. Revill, Thomas c.
Pollock, r. w. Emmons. Fred L. Vogt, L.
o. Slack and r. B. Posey. This committee
will hold a meeting Monday evening at s
o'clock at the headquarters of the Eastern
Athletic Club. at 900 Sth street southeast
The next meeting to further the project of
the Baltimore trip will be held on Wednes-
day evening at the same place.

May. who will probably go in the one-mile
walk. has had no training at all this sea-
son. and enters the contest this afternoon
on Georgetown field without any training
whatever. Should he develop any speed
he will undoubtedly be sent. He has a
record for the mile walk Of something
less than seven seconds. Emmons. in the
pole-vaulting contest, is regarded as an
excellent man. and 1t is claimed that he
has vaulted a height of over ten feet five
Inches. Schade is a sure man in the BIZ
cycle races, and he will undoubtedly cap
ture the two first in the one and three-mile
races, making at least ten points that Co.
lumbar will secure for an almost certainty
out of total of 1876 points for the entire
meet.

Good Prospects for a Successful
Season.
INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC

Although the Departmental League has
played but two games, the attendance and
the interest displayed in the contest seem
to Indicate that the banner season of the
organization is about to open. The league
deserves generous patronage, not only be-
cause the prime object Is a revival of in
terest in amateur ball playing, but because
all the proceeds left over actual expenses
will he devoted to the benefit of the Chill
dren's Hospital II is the opinion of every
one who has in any way been watching
the progress of the league that the CONSOLE
dalton of the teams and bringing the num-
Der down TO five will have the effect of
heightening the interest in the games on
account Of the contests being closer and
more exciting.
There is a great deal of satisfaction over
the selection of the officials of the league
and the team managers. The officers of
the league were chosen at a meeting held
just before the playing season opened, and
are regarded being fitted in every way
for the places they occupy. Mr.. Anthony
A Sousd. the brother of John Philip Sousa,
the bandmaSter, was reelected president,
as q matter of course. Although he has
wanted to resign from the position several
times. his fellow officials would not hear of
the proposition. Mr.. Sousa has shown
great executive ability, and his election,
as well the selection OF the other off,
Gals, was unanimous.
Mr. vi. c. Hazen, one of the gentlemen
who made the District Commissioners
team what it was during it's championship
season. was chosen vice president, and Mr..
hellar, the manager of the treasury team,
elected secretary, vice Mr.. G. F. Dickens,
resigned. Mr.. HaZen organized the Dis
trict office team in 1894, and has been act
i've in its interest since it's inception, working
through all sorts of difficulties Mr. HaZen

son, and was reelected this year because

the intercollegiate Games.
Never in the past has Georgetown Uni
versity had such opportunities for attain
ing glory in the intercollegiate sports. Her
runners for the past season have been I'M
der the direction of a competent trainer,
and are in the best condition. Last year
at Mott Haven. with the exception of the
brilliant performances Of California's and
IowaS athletes, the colleges took the places
which were generally conceded to them by
the public. This year, however, the result
is looked on as doubtful. and, owing to
the loss of many athletes in the larger
colleges Georgetown is looked upon as
being one of the probably successful con-
teStantS. She not only retains all her last
years men, but has many more at her
disposal, amongst whom are many cham
pions.
Wefers is expected to equal if not lower,
mary of his previous records. Second place
is generally accorded to be between Fox
and Walsh, who are both fast 1t is eX-
pected by many and feared by more that
