GEORGETOWN'S MEET.

I'm Every Way.

I'm Every Way.
The third annual indoor athletic meet of
the Georgetown University Athletic Asso-
citation took place at Convention Hall Sat
urday night. 1t was in every way success
full representatives from a large number of
institutions Of learning and organizations
taking part.
The features of the evening were the low
ering of records by Sprinter Arthur Duffy
and Charles j. Lucas and the final event,
the relay race between Georgetown and the
University of Pennsylvania Little Duffy
covered the fifty yards in second flat,
knocking off d half second from the record.
In the potato race Lucas gathered up all
the "Murphies'' in 327s seconds clipping
two seconds off the record, which was held
by himself.
The relay race was highly sensational.
The Georgetown lads were apparently out
of the running through Lynch's fall in the
first quarter, his opponent getting fully 20
yards lead. In the third quarter j. Reilly
found the 20 yards still before him. but he
went over the distance like the wind and
cut the lead down to five yards when the
last lap opened. Holland, for the blue and
gray and Drumhelier, for Pennsy, were the
finishers and the great squirt started, but
on the second turn the latter fell and the
former finished twenty yards to the good

Boston MaEnates Feel Sore.
The news of the signing of Collins fell
with sickening effect upon the owners of
the Boston National League club. The
dose was especially unpleasant to Treas
urer Billings. who, after his interview with
Collins In Buffalo on Thursday. felt satis-
fled that the player would be true to the
Boston club
"Selee Is my Witness" said Mr.. Billings
in Boston yesterday, that Collins gave US
to understand that he was not bound by
any agreement to the American League
AT any rate. you can wager that Collins
will play ball for us the coming season If
he plays at all. What are contracts good
for If they are to be broken at will? What
does man mean by signing two contracts?
We have had the best legal advice obtain
able and we are told that our contracts
will hold our players.
I'VE are not going to lie down We have
plenty OF money and will make a fight.
Mr.. Somers has assumed a big contract
