The team will be strengthened at once,

Corcoran Cadet Corps.
| The recent game between Rockville and
corcoran Cadets, played at the former
place protested by Manager Edwards. has
been thrown out by the league pending
further action.
The question OF umpires is what seems
to give visiting teams to Rockville most
trouble, and the complaint is made that
they are as often incompetent as they are
unfair. In a recent game five umpires
were tried and none gave satisfaction.
1t would seem that the proper thing
TO do would be TO take League Umpire
Belts with the local teams when they go
visiting 1t would cost little outlay of
league funds, but then it would be many
times more satisfactory to have competent
and fair umpiring than to have a game
spoiled by constant wrangling over de-
csions.
The Corcorans team is new, and lacks
team work. Cause, lack of practice.
When the team has had the benefit of
more experience, say in three or four
weeks. it will make some of the top-notch-
ers stand from under.
Captain Edwards hopes to sign four fast

mess High School, is said to be trying for
place on the team. Handiboe and Gates
signed to play during the past week.

week
The Corcoran team is weak at second
and at third. when Hamacker is in the
pitchers box.
The manager still has hopes of getting

High School teams.
The next game scheduled for the team
is for next Friday with the Government
Printing Office.
Georgetown Varsity Athletes.
Early this morning the athletes who will
represent Georgetown University at the
English and Olympian championships will
leave the city over the Baltimore and Ohio
for Boston, whence they will sail on the
Old Dominion Line steamer New England
next Wednesday for foreign shores.
Their first appearance on the other side
will be at London, July Z, competing in the
English championships.
They will stay in England about a week
and then go TO Paris to compete in the
great olympian games for the champion
ships of the world. which will be held
every other day from July Is to % in
elusive. The team has secured the man
sion house of NJ. De Perrine. in the Ave-
nue. du Bots Boulogne, which is sur
rounded by eight acres of well laid-out
ground, for their training quarters.
The team includes Arthur F. Duffy, the
holder of number of worlds recsrds;
Edward Minnehan, a flyer, who has besn
DufTy's shadow in every close finish this
year, and W. J. holland, the very fast
quarter miller. The trio are in fine condi-
ton, and lock like world-beaterS.
Their condition and wonderful PERFORM
ances reflect unlimited credit up-n Trainer
William Foley. who developed these fl, ers
as he did that other woIld-beater ard mar
vel, Bernard ]. Wefers.
Duffy left the city Friday, and took part
in the n. Y. A. c. games at New York
yesterday, where he will join the party
today. In addition to those named Train
Foley. Manager C. J. Martell. and rubter
will make up the European trip.
Bernard J. Wefers. the former cham
pion, will, in all probability, be one of
the party. 1t has not yet been definitely
decided whether he will wear the colors
OF Georgetown in competition or those of
some prominent New York athletic club.
AT the last moment 1t was decided not to
take J. E. Mulligan on the trip, as it is
reported that he left town and failed 10

his training 1t is generally conceded by
his friends that he made big mistake.
The eight-oared crew which will compete
in the intercollegiate boat races at Pough-
keepsie on June 30 is keeping up its hard
practice and is moving well and will IN
doubtedly make good showing on the
Hudson. The crew will probably leave
here the middle of next week and take the
quarters secured for it near Poughkeepsie
AT the annual election of managers held
Thursday the following were chosen TO

sports, c. Moran Barry, 'O1, and manager
