AN ATHLETIC INVASION.
A Picked Team of Americans to Go
Abroad.

NEW YORK. March S.-A team of
picked American athletes will visit the
British Isles in the coming summer to try
for the English championships and Incl
dentally to have a try at the Scotch and
Irish titles. The men who will strive for
international athletic honors are Richard
Sheldon, Yale University; !. X. Baxter
and Alexander Grant. University of
Pennsylvania; Maxey Long and John
Flanagan, formerly members of the New
York Athletic Club.
Each member of the team will pay his
own expenses and therefore will not be
subject to the jurisdiction or dictation of
athletic clubs or collegiate associations,
and can compete when and where he
pleases. To Sheldon belongs the credit of
originating the projected invasion.
At first ii was thought that Kraenzlein
would be one of the invaders. but the
great hurdler has stated that he is out
of athletics for good. He may, however,
reconsider the decision later on and make
one of the team. There was talk, too.
that Arthur Duffy, the Georgetown
very definite can be learned on that point
until the close Of the college term in June.
Duffy won the l00-yard English champion
ship last year.
II is proposed that the team shall sail
from America here the second week in
June, and the first appearance on the
other side will be at the English cham
pionships on June % After that regu-
lar circuit will be arranged, covering
Scotland and Ireland.
The tour will occupy the entire month
OF July and the early part of August and
the athletes will be back in America in
time to take part In the National A. A. L.
championships at Buffalo.

tached to the Washington club of the
National League pitched better ball on
an average than did Mercer. He was one
of the few players who could not be
bought from the Wagner brothers. A
number of offers were made them for
Mercer by outside clubs, but they stead
tasty refused - let him go.
MERGERS pitching ability was appre
ciated. He possessed speed and curves.
but by far his greatest value lay in his
excellent headwork During the last year
or so he played in Washington it WAS
thought that he was losing some of his
speed, and II was decided to shift him to
an outfield position. In previous seasons
1t had been found he was an excellent man
in almost any position. As utility man he
did high grade work. His batting was far
more than one hard-fought game was
saved to the Senators by MERGERS lusty
work with the stick.
After Washington dropped out of the
National League Mercer went to New
York. and since that time has been at
tached to the Giants until signed by Man
ming While with the Gotham team he
PLAYED in various infield positions. and was
frequently in the box last season. On the
rubber he demonstrated that he had lost
little of his ability as pitcher, and his
end of the battery was held up in the best
kind of shape.
Mercer was always decidedly popular
with audiences wherever he appeared AT

The Belgian hare industry, though
treated as such when first introduced, is
not like any other fad in existence. 1t
is true that the only commercial value
the hare has is in its meat and fur sup
ply, but no other fads have any CONNER
cial value, whatever. The hare appeals
very strongly to the live stock fancier
which fact ~ partially responsible for the
fancy prices fine specimens bring.
Granted that it is a fad, it is not like
the fad OF collecting stamps or birds
eggs. Breeders of fine pedigreed dogs
have to depend on other breeders and fan
ciers for a market for their animals. The
Belgian. as well as other classes of pet
animals. is sought by the fanciers. who
pay fancy prices, besides being very much
in demand as a table delicacy.
This is one of the many reasons why it
Is more profitable to raise Belgian hares
than any other class of live or pet stock

THE INFANTRY WINS AGAIN.
The Gibraltar Athletes Badly Beaten
ut Basketbail

The Washington Light Infantry. the
leaders. and the Gibraltar Athletic Club,
the tail-enders in the race for the basket
ball championship of the District League,
came together at the Washington Light
Infantry Armory last night. The soldiers
added another victory to their already
long string, by defeating the Athletics to
the tune of % to = The game was fast
and the play became rough at times. The
Gibraltar players. who were lighter than
their opponents, received several hard
falls. These brought forth considerable
violent criticism of the officials from that
part of the audience which favored the
Athletics. The rulings of the officers We're
fair enough, but the trouble was that
they We're not always made when they
should have been.
Burnett. one of the members of last
years Infantry team, was back in the
game for the first time this season. His
welcome was 1doubly warm when he
started out at his old time gait. Before
the contest ended ne scored a total of
seven goals. Lynch of the Infantry re-
ceived all kinds of plaudits when he
scored a basket at the close of the first
half from point well out i'm the middle
of the floor 1t was the first one he had
made this season, his station as back
keeping him the greater part of the time
beyond scoring distance of the net
Gibraltar was the first to score and
their basket came rather in the nature of
fluke. James, in endeavoring to get the
ball from an opponent, gave it rap with
his hand and the next minute it settled in
the basket. After that ii did not take
long for the soldiers to settle into their
winning gait Kendall dropped a goal
and Burnett followed suit. Shreve made
a goal from free throw. Devln tipped
the leather into the net and then Burnett
made his second goal, and Lynch brought
down the house with a successful shot
from the middle of the floor Just before
the call of time. Score: w. l.. l., II; G.
A. c.. @
The second half was for the first few
minutes a repetition OF the runaway on
which the Infantry appeared to have
started at the opening of the game. Bur-
nett dropped three goals from the field in
rapid succession. Then Devlin took a
hand and contributed one. and a minute
or two later he repeated the trick. Bur-
nett was not TO be denied his share of
the glory and he made two more goals.
Gibraltar woke up bit and Brady sue
ceeded in lodging the ball in the basket
and was followed by o Hagan minute
later with another goal. which made Gil
hraltars score total of g. Kendall
made two more points for the Infantry,
and o Hagan dropped a goal from a free
throw Just before time was called. Score:
