ATHLETIC CLUB SMOKER.
Boxing, Running, jumping and Other
Athletic Exhibitions.

Boxing, Running, Jumping and Otner
Athletic Exhibitions.
The smoker given by the Columbia Ath-
Ietic Club last evening at the clubhouse
on G Street was a success; it was more
than that: it was a mountaineering sue
cess. There was an unusually large num-
Der of guests present, and the general
verdict was that the entertainment was
by long odds the best that has been given
under the auspices of the organization.
The feature of the evening was a three
round boxing bout between Mr.. Emile
Won Lindgrin, the champion middle
weight of the Columbia Athletic Club
and Mr.. Ferdinand Friedman, the cham
pion weller of the Toqua Athletic Club,
London, Eng. Both gentlemen showed a
perfect knowledge of the art of self de-
Tense. and could hit and get away in the
most approved style. The first round was
very tame, the boxers evidently trying to
size each other up; the next was quite
warm, and during the last the lighting
was fast and furious, and closed with the
men in Il clinch and hOnors easy. There
was no decision announced.
The opening event was half-mile dash.

makes seven players in all who are at
odds with the Baltimore management.
Hugh Jennings seems to be spokesman
for the seven, and says that the players
will hold out until the management meets
their demands. In talking of the subject
today Jennings said:
at is purely a matter of business with
all of us. The sentiment is unanimous
that we should not be asked to go to
work one month earlier than necessary,
for it is work of hard kind. without
receiving some pay. We are not asked to
do it to benefit ourselves, but simply to
oblige the club in allowing Mr.. Hanlon
to size us up and get for nothing the in
formation it would take him a couple of
weeks of paid service to obtain.
The schedule makes us work twenty
two more days than previously. These
games will bring into the pockets of the
club owners thousands of dollars. For

Hanlon says that he does not intend to
worry about the strikers, but intends to
let them worry.

a field goal, which Taylor soon after
duplicated. Then Harmon Goaled again.

ter this, on which Thompson scored two
gift goals, followed by Taylor's beautiful
throw across field, on which he scored

In this country there are almost twice
as many women who follow the profess

thousand teachers only nine thousand

like ten million pupils. There are
about one hundred and forty thousand
