Georgeto,vn's Cycling Tea,n


The cycling team of Georgetown ITniver
sity has been selected for the present sea-
son and the riders are all expected to begin
training in a very few days. The team
will consist of Leo B. DannemiIIer T +
Hanger and w. w. Pittman Dannemiller
who has been member of the team for
three years, Is quite well known locally on
account of his good racing. He enjayed the
title of boy champion of Ohio, and won
some good races at his home near Canton
He is now in training for the races of this
season. Hanger, another member of the
team, is a local boy, and last wear when
the wholesale transfer Of amateurs to the
professional ranks was made he iumne,l
to the front as the leading amateur in the
list "
Pittman Is also local boy, and has rid
den in number OF races at the Park
track. His condition this year is reported
to be vastly superior to his riding form of
last season or any previous season It Is
quite likely that the entire team will be
sent north to participate in the ANIMAL
intercollegiate field and track meet. which
Is held on Decoration day at Berkeley
Oval.
H. R. Steenson of Minneapolis, who last
season was member of the Eclipse racing
team, arrived in town during the week. He
is at the Hughes homestead, on the Com
duit road. neara the track, and is getting
into shape for hard riding the coming sea-
son. Steenson went south during the win
ter, and has been riding at indoor sprint
events at New Orleans and other southern
cities, with considerable success IT is
hardly likely that he will race entirely in
this city this season, but it Is safe to pre-
dict that Washington will be his fayorite
racing place

amateur and professional trainers, and will
be sent upon application. Under the new
rules the trainers have to be registered be-
rore being permitted to appear on any
track, while the amateur riders and also
the professionals can register up to the
last practical moment. A good demand for
registration blanks has been made from
Philadelphia, and supply will shortly be
issued to the riders of that CITY,
owen Kimble has not yet arrived in the
city, but he is expected in short time.
He will bring his wife and will make
Washington his home during the present
season. He was scheduled to arrive during
the present week, but was unable to get
here. Kimble and A. c. Moran will be the
only members of the Eclipse team of this
year, with the possibility that Steenson
will be a third member

G EORGE ETOWN TEAM s

From indications the inclosure of the
Park Bicycle Club on the Conduit road,
will present much better appearance this
year than last If the plans that have
been drawn up are carried out the place
will be an excellent resort the coming sea-
son. Already a change is to be seen. A
force of carpenters and laborers has been
at work for some days past making repairs.
The most noticeable change will be in the
tnf1eld, which will be leveled and graded,
and kept in an attractive condition. The
fences are being mended and the track,
which suffered little during the winter, is
being repaired.
The preparations for the opening race
meet of the year, the jubilee meet, which
will be held in the afternoon of May "a,
are being pushed. While the entry blanks
have not made their appearance, they will
soon be out. AS contemplated some excel
lent races will mark the afternoon, in
which all of the crack riders of the coun-
try will participate. The list Of events will
probably include three professional and two
amateur races, which may be divided as
follows:
with $50 cash as first prize: $50 cash as
second; $25 third and SO fourth.
Dewey championship. professional. one
mile, with $50 in cash for first prize; $50

The Dewey Championship.
1t Is contemplated to make the Dewey
cha mpionship fixed local race, beginning
with this season, the event to be run off
each succeeding year. The Washington
handicap and the Raleigh dash for ANA
teurs will also be fixed race occurring
annually. AS the races will be open to all
riders, considerable rivalry is looked for on
the part Of the contestants to capture the
title.
One week after the opening race meet the
rgular memorial day race meet will be held
and this will be made as interesting and as
attractive as usual by the introduction of
good program The railroad facilities for
both meets, which will be held in the after
noon, are guaranteed to be equal to the de-
mand. On account of the delay in the ar
rival of the material, the construction of
