| number of good players are being de-
| veloped for next seasons team.
Corcornn Cadet Athletes.
The Corcorans have been so busy during
! the past week with parades in the Jubilee
festivities that they have had little time
for indoor athletics, and as a result the
Guards gymnasium has not been very
up athletics with preparations for the Ma
ton Guard encampment, which begins
June and lasts one week. Upon the re-
turn home the men will again take up the
work and propose to keep the gymnasium
going all the summer.
Baseball is a leading feature. and the
team Is taking practice whenever it finds
time, and 1t proposes to meet all comers
| il the Guard during the encampment, and,
chances are it will win all its games.
The match game of basketball on Friday
night with the CAROLS was won handily
| by the latter by the score OF to 2. The
| Cadets were not in condition.
| Rowing has been interfered with to such
an extent that not one of the cadets filled
a seat In a shell at the c. A. C. bcathouse
tions for camp have taken up most of the
past fortnight. II 1t is not too late for
Lieutenant Hecox after the encampment
the soldiers will take up the work in earn
est and help make the season at the above
boathouse an active one.
National Guard Athletes.
Over 200 members OF the Athletic Asso-
citation of the District National Guard have
taken exercise during the past month un-
der the direction of Prof. Horan. who de-
serves credit for the good showing his pu-
pills are making in the various lines, and
there seems to be no decrease of the inter-
est Notwithstanding the warm weather.
Recent additions 10 the association ranks
include six members OF the Ambulance
| Corps. fifteen from Company B, Fourth
Battalion, and tea from Company C,
Fourth Battalion. The association now
has a membership of over 225.
Captain Edwards and the athletic COM
mittee show great interest in association
matters. The president of the association
has been made chairman Of the athletic
committee OF the excursion to River View
TO be given next Friday for the benefit of
the District Volunteers and he promises
number of interesting athletic features. In
addition to a basketball game there will be
tumbling by Prof Horan and three of his
pupils and Graham and Shackleford in
their specially. 1t is again suggested that
the athletic features be run of on the ar
rival of the early evening boat. SO that
there will be amusement for the greater
crowd.
Captain Edwards has worked early and
late in the interest of athletics in the
Guard. and hopes some day TO see this
feature made most prominent one in the
| ranks of the soldiers. There is no reas-
on why the local Guards Athletic Associa-
| ton should not be as successful and promi
nent in that line as that Of the famous
Seventh New York Regiment Association,
| one of the finest in the country. General
| Harries is interested in the work. and he
will no doubt at an early day take the
necessary steps to bring the association to
the high rank which it should attain.

| The past fortnight has been a very busy
one for the letter carriers OF the city post

Monroe, Tauberschmidt, and Shank.
Georgetown Varsity Athletes.
Tomorrow the Georgetown University
baseball team, the champion of all college
ball teams, will face the snappy team rep
resenting "oId Nassau" and If it keeps
up its remarkable playing it should add
another victory to its already long string.
The team seems invincible. and yesterday s
defeat by Holy Cross is only the second
one so far this season.
Should the nine in some manner lose
