LIGHT INFANTRY.
An unusual amount of interest is being
take in the athletic events to be given On
July IL. the field day Of Company c,
washingtr n Light Infantry, at Int irrational
Athletic Park.
A numbcr Of the local sprinters ire brush
up fer the 100 yard das and the 44C-yard
run and these events will be hotly contested.
Many Of the local field athletes regret
that their specialties were not included. as
running high and broad jumps and pole
vaults. which are always interesting events,
would have brought out a large numter Of
entries.
II has been learned that the sprinting
events are thought by some to be handicaps
and by others scratch events, having been
informed both ways in some manner. 1t
would be we'll for the mana cement to state
definitely which is correct. it might bring
cut more entries.
Entries for handicap events close July
and the open events close July s, and
must he sent to Manager w. s. Mexican.
The OnemiIe novice and the two-mile
handicap bicycle races will have large
entry lists. The prizes for all events to
first and second, and in some to third
men, are valuable and well worth work
ing for.
INTER-URBAN RACES.
Manager w. S. Mexican is working up
the above affair, and hopes to make it a
big success.
He is also busy with the detail of the
inter-urban bicycle races between teams
Baltimore and this city. These
events will he a novelty hereabout and
Will be exciting and interesting.
In view OF the fact that Schade had
made entries which will keep him busy
at Richmond on July 4, so that he cannot
accept invitation for match race with
Fred Sims on that day, 1t might be
well to continue the negotiations with him
and arrange for the match race as an addi-
tional attraction for the Infantry field
day or for the Pythian day at the park
later in the month.
The match will undoubtedly prove
hig drawing card for whichever day it is
secured. o. P. SCHMIDT.
