Physical Director Rideout viii leave
here next week to attend the annual con
ference of Y. NJ. C. A. physical directors
to be held at Dayton, Ohio, from the 10th
to 9Th of this month. 1t will be gather
ing of Drawn and brain from all over the
United States and Will, as in former years.
evolve new ideas and methods for use in
the coming season.
The lot adjoining the clubhouse Is used,
as in days of yore. for tennis playing, and
the courts are now among the very best in
the city. In the space not used for this
sport, QUOT ranges lave been prepared,
and well prepared. for boxes filed with
clay have been sunken in the ground and
the proper consistency always surrounds
the stakes
On the lot in the rear of the courts
ground has been prepared for practice at
high and broad jumps and pole vault.
Here may be found C. L. Shaw. 4. lie Mat
Fayette Temple. Ballinger Lindsay. S. p.
Maize, j. Barton. G. Shilling. and others
| taking their work under the direction of
Mr.. Holton. who is himself an accom-
plished field athlete. Ballinger is showing
great improvement, especially in his
spring for the bar in the high jump.
The last indoor competitions Closed with
Shaw and lie Mat tied for the lead with
five feet two inches in the running high
jump; Lindsay next with four feet ten
inches. and Ballinger jus. two inches be-
low the latter. Either or all ;hess shcu.d
be able to clear five feet SIX inches out
doors. They are promising lot and will
do well with proper coaching in the broad
| jump and pole vault.
As yet there has been no development
in sprinting and running lines. but there is
| undoubtedly some talent in this direction
to be found in the large quantity of ma
terial at hand, for the organization now
| numbers something like 1000 members and
| the watchword and the goal is 1900 By
July l. The energy and hustle displayed
| by the management under the direction OF
Mr.. Slenan makes it possible to gain that
| much desired result.
very important meeting will be held
| in the gymnasium tomorrow night and
| every member of the association Is urged to
be present. The programme will be full OF
interest, and important plans for the sum
mer will be presented.
Columbia Athletic Club.
| A number of the members of the Column
bia Athletic Club have secured member
ship in the Y. NJ. C. A. in order to keep
| up their exercise in the gym. and to con-
| tinue their practice in tennis Several of
these are crack players, and they will ma
| terially strengthen the new contingent on
the old courts. 1t is possible that some of
the old ball players will enlist in the Y.
| NJ. c. A. team now being organized.
| Rowing promises to be a very active de-
| partment later on. but for the past fort
night candidates for places in the shells
| have not put in very regular appearance
| and Lieut. HecoX urges all members who
| desire to row to report tomorrow after
neon and begin the season in earnest.
| The Corcoran Cadets contingent is a
very promising one and will make it inter-
| esting for the old members in the compe-
| titions for seats in crews.
CorcOran Cadet Athletes.
| Judging from the work of the Corcoran
Cadets baseball team in the opening game
last week with the Light Infantry it may
be said that the nine is strong one and
| will give a good account of itself during
the season. The Cadets won by the score
| of 10 to 5. The showing of the Infantry
may be excused upon the score that several
of their best players failed to put in an
| appearance. The teams will meet again
shortly. when a different story may be
| told.
Stanley proved himself to be a steady
heady twirler and kept the Infantry hits
well scattered. The team consists of Heff-
ner. catcher. Stanley, pitcher: Jackson
| first base; Hendley, second base: Blake
ney, shortstop; Guista, third base, with
McGlue. Chick and Zelkoutfielders. James
| Hendley is captain.
Manager E. C. Edwards would like to
arrange games with some of the new Dis
trict League teams, the Eastern Athletic
Club preferred.
Heffner split a finger in the opening
game. but 1t is healing rapidly and he will
be in shape to play in next weeks games
The benefit game of basketball between
the Coreorans and Carroll Institute an
| nounced to be played at the Institute on
May 10 will be played during the week
! following. Dancing will follow the game
and the affair promises to be very enjoya-
BILE.
These teams will meet at River View,
| where they will play for the big silver cup
offered by the railroad employees upon the
occasion of their annual excursion.
The Corcorsns. who have taken up row.
| ing are making quite an impression at
| the c. A. C. boathouse. where they are be-
ing handled by Lieutenant Hecox. They
are all novices with the sweep but they
are already handling themselves well, and
Lieutenant Hecox has expressed himself
as being very well pleased with the out
look for a strong Cadets eight. Baseball
has kept several of the men out of the
boats who hope with this week to take
up rowing in earnest.
Hendley, Boulay,. and Cooley will try fol-
seats in the eight" next week, and they
will probably be assigned to the waist OF
| the boat.
| National Guard Athletes.
The excursion which the District Ma
tional Guard is planning to give down the
river for the benefit of unemployed Dis
trct volunteers early next month prom
ises to be big affair, and as athlat!cs are
always a strong drawing feature it would
be well to arrange this attraction for that
part of the programme which will be
reached when the last afternoon or early
evening boat reaches its destination. At
that time large crowd is in attendance
and the several numbers would then lie
more enjoyed than earlier In the day.
For this feature it would be easy to Sc
cure the services OF Shreve ard Morsel
in the trapeze act McCabe, in his jump
ing; McQuade and Mackey. in wrestling
and Boulay, Hendley, and Instructor Ho-
ran in their specialties.
The coming of the warm weather has not
to any great extent affected the attendance
and interest of the members of the Ath-
letic Association of the Guard and Physical
Instructor Horan has well attended classes
at all times. averaging twenty pupils a
night. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
are class nights.
