the Georgetown University campus to wit

the wearers Of the blue and gray being
confronted by team from the Maryland

the bright colors worn by the ladies max

parel Of the gentlemen and the somber
foliage of the surrounding woods. This eff
feet was heightened by the trimmings of
red, white and blue and the college colors
OF blue and gray, which decorated the
stand. President Whitney of the college

at 8 o'clock. and the game started amid
the waving of colors and cheering by the

stick work and hammered out enough hits
to win by the score of 6 to 0. Two little
singles were all the MaryIanders obtained
on the twirling of Golden and Blewitt,
while Hamilton, who did the pitching for
the visitors, was hit for eleven safeties,
several of which can be charged up to poor

DEFEATED THE LEADERS.
Tail-Enders In the Local Bowling
League Thrice Victorious.


The Business Mems Bowling Club, tail
enders in the District Bowling League.
were very much too strong for the giant
CAROLS last night, and the South Wash
ington lads walloped the leaders to the
tune of three straight The Business Men
have proved a hard nut for the CAROLS
to crack, for every time the teams have
met this season the decision has gone
against the Institute team. Twice the Bush
ness Men have taken three straight. and
in the other match the CAROLS were de-
sions when the Business Men took three
straight the scores run by them have been
of the highest character, creditable to
leaders rather than to a tail end team.
should the Institute five not win the cham
piOnship this year they may blame the
South Washington club for it
All of the men on the home team did
good work last night. Smithson, Fuller
and Kidd bowled in great form and had
fine averages. Rice was the only one of
the visitors who found the alleys at all to
his liking, and the veteran rolled excel
lent string. He was not supported at all,
and the CAROLS We're almost bad as
their opponents were good. The result of
the series brings the CAROLS down to sec
ond position, giving the lead to the Sacnger-
buEd. The Golden Eagles become very
good third and are separated from the In
stitute only by a fraction of per cent. 1t
may be said that the Y. NJ. c. A. are still
in it, SO the championship race, even at
this late stage, is very much unsettled.
The three games were worry similar last
night, each showing the CAROLS in the
same position-that of chaser. The home
team played to win and had their opponents
down from the outset of every game. The
Business Men were continuously strong on
strike bowling. In fact they played all
around their rivals. and are easily entitled
to the credit Of the winning. The scores
follow:

MONTAGUE WHITES OPINION.
Claims that DR.. lcyds Is Recognized as South
African Republics Minister.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Montaguc
White. the South African diplomat now
in this country. gave out the following
statement, today:
The impression that is said to exist
in certain quarters that DR.. Leyds is
not recognized by foreign powers as
minister of the South African republic
on account of Great Britains claim to
suzerainty is false. DR.. Leyds is
credited to and fully recognized as min
lister plenipotentiary of the South
African republic by the following
powers: Russia, Germany, France,
Holland, Belgium and Portugal
The suZerainty was created by the
convention of 1881, but was abolished
by the convention of 1884.
In 1897 it was suddenly revived by
Chamberlain. The government Of the
South African republic strenuously re
pudiated the claim and they have been
supported in this by every international
lawyer of note on the continent as we'll
as by such eminent authorities as Prof
Wesley, Sir Edward Clark and Sir VIM
Harcourt in Great Britain. The inter-
national status of the South African
Great Britain, as the following extract
from the oft-quoted letter Of Lord
Derby, dated, Feb. Is, 1884, will show:
our government Will be left free to
govern the country without interfer-
ence and to conduct its diplomatic in
tercourse and shape its foreign policy
subject only to the requirements en-
bodied in the fourth article of the new
treaty. namely: That any treaty with
1OI- fnraiCp shall mt no cffactiyn
