COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP.
1t is Claimed to Exist Only In Track
Sports.

Sports.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the editorial in this evenings
Star entitled 1.-The intercollegiate Cham
plonships." permit me to call your attention
to the fact that no such championships
exist, except in track sports. A man, or Il
team of men, can be considered champions
in any branch of sport only when they
have shown themselves clearly superior to
all fair competitors. Until Yale and Prince
ton condescend to meet Pennsylvania in all
athletic contests, Pennsylvania being one
Of their strongest rivals, 1 fail to see how
tha championships mentioned in your edi-
tor1al can be conceived to exist. Without
mentioning the fact that Cornell has not
yet this year defeated either Pennsylvania
or Columbia on the water, and therefore
cannot, as yet, claim this years rowing
supremacy, let me ask how yale holds the
foot ball championship as a result Of last
autunn's play when Yale did not meet
pennsylvania who defeated Harvard, while
Yale could play the latter only lie game?
Further on you state, with reference to the
base ball games between Harvard Brown,
Yale and Princeton, that This combina-
ton OF results leaves it possible for the adj
mirers of each of the four universities to
claim base ball superiority by a system of
figuring on the result adjusted TO the va
rious points of view How the admirers
VI any oHe OI the universities men,
toned can lay any claim to base ball su-
periority for their university without con-
sidering the work of Pennsylvania, George
town or Lafayette, 1 fail to understand.
l observe that your editorial makes no
mention of Pennsylvania's magnificent tri-
umph in track sports on the Berkeley Oval
in May last, when she won the only college
championship in existence with :, score
more than twenty points higher than that
of her nearest OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
r. 7. YOUNG.
Washington, D. c., June "a.
College Base Ball.
Another communication regarding the
same editorial has been received claiming
that the assertion that Yale and Princeton
had won from Brown in base ball was in
correct.
"Out of three games played with Yale,
Brown won two and thus the series. the
scores being 17-2 and 43 in Browns two
victories. In regard to Princeton, but two
games were played, Brown winning the
first and Princeton the second"

CIRCUIT GOSSIP.

The failure of Tom Cooper to ride in the
races Thursday at the Park track is re-
GREETED by the many friends which the
quiet rider has in this city. Last year
when in town he was troubled with num-
Der of boils, which broke out on all parts
of the body, and which prevented him from
riding. In fact, his poor riding all during
the season is attributed to this fact This
year he started out in apparent good con-
dition, but the fore part of this month his
old malady broke out. Since then he has
been doing very little riding. and he says
he will not enter another race until he IL
WELL In the evening. when the finals were
being run Off, Cooper sat in the press box,
talking to a number of friends. Il was
fool enough last year to ride when 1 was
troubled with boils, said he, but do not
intend to ride any more this year in that
condition" One large boil on the lower
limb seems to give him unusual pain, and
causes. him to limp when walking.
Eddie Bald, who somewhat disappointed
a great many people by not appearing in
the finals, did not seem to mind his Ill luck.
Though he fairly won his heat in the one
mile national championship in the opinion
OF all the riders who witnessed the finish,
he did not raise any objection when tie

cannon balr' sprint of the rider which
brought him to the front, he should have
received better reward On account of this

For this ride he Was given a pretty good

He is hitting away over the 800 mark and
fielding as we'll as ever. 'Jocko' will
probably be back in the big Ieague next
season, as his offenSe was the elimination
o. a hasty temper quarrel, and he can
strengthen about eight out of the twelve
clubs.
1t seems like strange reading to hear of
the BroOklynS securing the country for a
shortstop, when they have a lien on Han
nivan who is covering that position for the
Syracuse club of the Eastern League. This
is the man tipped off to the Washington
club by Umpire Snyder, but a prior claim
by Brooklyn kept him out of the senatorial
ranks Hannivan played third base for
Lancaster last year, and was great sue
cess In that position. This year his work
is still better, although playing out of his
regular position. He is batting well over
the 800 mark, and in fielding his percen-
tage clings closely to the 800 point.

One Of the justices of the Supreme Court
of the District today favored The Star with
a correct statement Of the condition of the
courts in correction of an article which APP
peared in The Star Thursday and which
was erroneous in some particulars. He
said:
There will be jury trials in Criminal
Court No. 2 until July 2. No jury trials
are held in any court in September. JUS
tice Bradley will not hold Criminal Court
No. In July. There is no July term of
the Criminal Court. and no June term,
except in the Equity Court.
THE present terms of the Criminal and
Circuit Courts began on the first Tuesday
in April and continue until the first Tues
day in October. The jury in Circuit Court
No. 1 only has been discharged. Keren-
hert's case has NOT been assigned for Mon
day Equity Court is always open. 1t is
settled that neither Justice Cox nor Justice
Hagner will hold any court in August
Justice Cole will look after all judicial BUSH

tice Bradley the second half. The Jury in

AN UNSAvORY LOT.
Free silver senators Dar Legitimate
Means of Raising
Money.

Now that war is on-egged on to no
little extent by the silverite party in
congress-we would like to know IL that
party is still going ito play politics"
with the question? 1t has got what its
leaders wanted, and as a result of the
war there will be free Cuba" dear to
the heart, probably, of every professor
of democracy, but having this, are the
Joneses and Baileys and Tellers going
to play the role of obstructionists?
1t looks like it. Here we are on the
verge of war, the Immediate future OF
which no man can forecast, when the
whole nation should be animated by Z
single thought, but when the admins
tration asks for the means to carry on
the war it is at once met by caviling and
by obstruction from the free silver sen
ators.
In our present situation is there any
body who will deny that the govern
ment must have large and instan'
taneous means for carrying on the war;
And how are they to be obtained, we
would like to know, unless by borrow
ing?
And yet the silverite senator's stand
up in the senate and threaten to block
all bond issues and all other Legitimate
means of raising money until the sur
plus in the treasury is used up, and the
silver bullion owned by the govern
ment, foolishly called the seigniorage,
is coined into silver dollars!
They thus show that under the pre-
tense of humanity and the independ-
ence Of Cuba they have plunged the
country into n war for free silver and
dishonest dollar. Under the plea of
patriotism and humanity they are
working for the silver mine owners and
for national dishonor, and they appar-
emily care not what the outcome of the
war may be if they can by means there
of establish their rotten and degraded
currency.
At this very moment, when the nation
Is on the eve of war, the extent of
which no man can foresee, and which
will cost an enormous outlay of blood
and treasure, the Tellers, Morgans, Pet
tigrews. Chambers and Joneses are all
gleeful because they see in this pos
sible way for bringing the country
down to the degraded monetary stand
ard they have so long advocated.
These obstructionists should not be
suffered to have their way for mo-
ment, but be stamped out by the iron
heel of public opinion. This is no
time for playing politics. The nation
is at war and every energy Of the people
must be devoted to making that war
as short and rs decisive as possible with
the least injury to the people of the
United States. To debase the currency
at such time is n national crime.-Chi-
cago Times-IIerald.
