HINTS TO BEGINNERS.
Suggestions to Those Who Have Jus,
Learned to Ride.


The frequent occurrence Of accidents with
street cars and street-car tracks gives rise
to the following timely hints to the local
novices:
Don't attempt to cross track at almost
| parallel Make the crossing at nearly
right angle. Otherwise the tire will get
caught in the groove Of the rail, and nor
| only throw you, but is very apt to rip the
! tire.
Don't ride in the slot of the cable or elec-
! trIc road. The iron at the groove has been
sharpened on the edge by the traffic and
will cut the tire. Frequently small pieces
| Of iron will be broken off and result In a
| puncture. That style of riding is charac-
| teristic Of Baltimore, but there Is no need
! Of doing 1t in this city.
| Don't ride In the groove Of the rails for
| the same reason. The danger of cutting
the tire Is much greater than riding In the
| slot.
| Don't cross behind a car at right angles
| person may be crossing the street from
| the other side and a collision may result.
Don't ride fast where rapid transit lines
| cross. 1t is dangerous in more ways than
one.
| Don't ride over any car track at an ex-
ira fast rate Of speed The jolting and
| In riding across tracks 1t is well to make
| the strain on the machine as light as pos
| sible by standing on the pedals, and not
remain seated in the saddle.
| Don't cross q car track until you see the
! way is clear. You may escape one car,
| only to collide with another.
| Don't take any chances In crossing In
front Of rapidly moving cars. 1t is dan
gerous. If a slight accident should hap
pen to the bicycle and threw you there
| would be no time to get out OF the way
| Of the car.
Don't ride close to the cars when in mo-
| ton. A person may be getting of. and you
be unable to turn out Of the way in time
| to prevent an accident.
| Don't ride OH. streets that are traversed
by car lines until you have some control Of
| wheel. A horse car can do as much
damage as a cable or electric train.
Above all. d6nt forget that in case of q
collision, nine times out Of ten, the cyclis;
gets the worst of the matter.

WHIST PLAYERS BUSY.


Tonight is the opening night Of the sea-
son at the Capital Bicycle Club. All the
whist-playing members are expected to be
present. and. besides. number of friends
have been invited. including some of the
strongest players in the city, so that there

which players sitting north and south play
north and south hands only, and players
sitting east and west play east and west
hands only Non-members are requested
to bring their partners. but if they do not

Foot Ball Will He Confined to the

With the return Of the students at
Georgetown College, interest in athletics
is urpermost. Just at present the Office of
manager of athletics Is vacant. Andrew
Berry was elected to the position last
spring and would have started in on his
duties this fall, but he was unable to re-
turn to the university. An election will be
held Iext week, when a manager will be
selected.
There is a faint possibility of the re-
turn of big Nike Mahoney, the cham
pion twirler in the college base ball world.
Since President Richards wrote him a few
weeks ago that he would not be permitted
to play on the Georgetown team this season,
because of his playing summer ball with
the Corning, N. Y. team. considerable
pressure has been brought to bear to have
the president change his mind. but to no
avail. If Mahoney can hot play on the
ball team his return Is not expected. In a
letter to 0ne of his friends at the college
he says that he may come back and re-
81 me his course if medicine, but that if
he received a good offer from other locali-
ties he would probably accept.

This feature Is novel, and Is somewhat Of

the handicapping of the players. Each
player will not be required to play cer-

player, but the number will be left to the
option of the participants, excepting that
there will be minimum number of games

The tournament will be limited to a GER
