o'clock the juniors will be grouped" and
later in the day the seniors. the class lead
ers, the bicycle section and so or. AS soon
as SIPS has been subscribed, dynamome-
ter viii be purchased for use in making
physical examinations.
The bicycle section is growing right
along and Captain" Holton and his able
busy enrolling members and mapping out
runs for the season.
The new bicycle barn with capacity OF
300 wheels is now one of the fixed attrac-
tions of a membership in the prosperous
and very useful organization. The formal
opening yesterday and last night was
complete success and brought out large
attendance.
The bicycle uniform recently adopted
consists OF. solid gray pants and coat, ma
room stockings with gray stripes around
the top, maroon golf cap with the associa-
tion emblem in white ON the front.
Owing to many difficulties encountered
in working up the details of the proposed
summer trip via the canal to Cumberland
that style of outing has been abandoned
and in its stead a camp at some point on
the Chesapeake where salt water may be
had was selected The details of such
trip are being worked up. The prospects
are that a very large number will take the
outing. General Secretary Slemal and
Physical Instructor Rideout have returned
from conventions held at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and DAYTON. Ohio, respectively.
The latter was a general meeting of Y. NJ.
C. A. Physical Institutes. Both came
back loaded with brand-new ideas which.
with many of their own conceptions of the
best way to advance the work. will sooner
or later be put into operation.
The intense heat of the past week melted
the interest in rowing at the Columbia
Athletic Club boathouse and as a result
but few crews left the float during the
sudden heated spell. Lieut.. Hecox had out
a -four" several times and was sent along
at a clipping gait. 1t had Hecox. stroke;
Hunter g. Fowler, g and Tallmadge, bow.
-Midge" Ross is naturally a bowman
and viii hold down that seat of light
weight four" which will row the 'heav-
les in the opening club regatta
Single scullers are scarcity and from
present indications none will row from
this house this season. For that matter
there seems to be only about three or four
on the river.
The pair-oared Terror" will be taken
out shortly by Lieutenant Hecox. for the
purpose of giving some of the men few
lessons In the handling sweep"
1t has been decided to repair at an early
day the eight-oared shell, broken in the
recent smash-up at the boat house.
City Postofiice Players.
The extremely hot weather of the past
week interferred considerably with the
practice of the City Postoffice ball play
ers and as a result but one practice game
was played, and that with the Ordnance
Bureau was lost in a measure through
young Haas wildness. The young twirler
has a variety of good curves, and with
practice promises to become a clever
player.
Manager Matthews has lines out for an
other pitcher to strengthen his twirling
| staff and If he lands him his team will be
| considerably strengthened
Hand is fast recovering the use of his
throwing arm and will soon be in the game
: again. Rebstock is always in good con-
diction and on account of his stick work
will be played regularly.
/ Johnny Gates is one of the best all
/ around players in the league and plays in
or t-field position equally well, and in
addition is good "sticker.'
/ The life and snap which Harry Cham
berlin puts into this play was missing in
last weeks game and on account OF his
absence team work also suffered He will
| play in the June II game of the league
series in which his team opposes the
Eastern Athletic Club. Louie" Ogle, next
| TO Carl Burbank, is batting harder than
any other man on the team, which has
many hard hitters. These two clever play
ers will start many q batting rally before
the season is half over.
| Harry Bishop and Jack Quick are taking
| good care of the catching department and
| promise to make that as strong as any
other on the team. They are specially
clever in coaching new pitchers. Being
hard losers they will at all times play ag-
gressive ball Brown is playing a fast
left field and takes care of everything that
comes his way. He has fallen off some
what in his batting, but being natural
| hitter he will round TO again and make it
interesting for opposing pitchers ere the
season is far advanced
Manager c. B. Matthews is to be con-
graduated upon the snappy team of play
ers he has gotten together He has conf
dence enough in them TO believe that he
will win half the games scheduled for his
team.
Georgetown VARSITY Athletes.
In about ten days the final curtain will
drop on the season of athletics at George
town Varsity and ball players and track
and field men will take up their belongings
and HE themselves hence to their respect
i've homes, scattered as the wind scatters
the seed to all points of the compass.
1t is hardly necessary to repeat that this
has been the most successful season in
athletics enjoyed by the old Blue and
Grey in many years, and when the fleet
footed track men and the powerful field
men return to their alma mater next fall
they will feel encouraged to take up the
work where they. now leave OFF and with
renewed energy begin another season o
triumphs and records
To Trainer William Foley must be giveI
credit for having brought out several ex
celIent performers and especially SO il
the case of Mulligan. Sheridan, Dessey
and Owens, who next season will figur
largely as point winners.
Mulligan is a great find and next yea
will be a tip-topper in the sprint events
He will enter in several of the big opel
meets to- be held in the North this an

town q year or so ago. He is success

athletic events. He has been in trainin
for sometime for this race with Muiligal
and hopes to give. the present blue an
Grey flyer a big run for the prize. "Mul
