The schedule arranged by the Sports
Committee of the Buffalo Exposition pro-
I Vides -eo-round-a sort of con-
/ tinuous performance-of decidedly inter
esting athletic events and one follows on
the heels of the other so rapidly that it
is difficult to keep up with them.
Last week the a!l-rouud championship,
! the most notable as well as the most in
teresting of the long series, provided a
| number Of surprises. 1t was notable that
/ in this meet none of the crack perform
ers CT the country-the high-class special
! disappeared. 1t was meet in which the
! comparatively fast but good, al-round
men-the plodders-took part and their
work, all things considered. was of high
order
| The honors fell to Adam Gum. of the
Buffalo Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion. He won the 1O0- yard dash and the
| l6-pound shot. running broad jump. the
mile run. and was second in half-mile
walk; third in l6-pound hammer. third in
/ pole vault. and second in 56-pound weight.
I His total of points earned was 5.1S9, his
nearest competitor, Reuss. had 5.19S.
The Marathon race of twenty-five miles
/ in which seven started and four finished,
was won by S. A. Mellor. jr., Hollywood
Athletic Club. of Yonkers, in 3 hours. Is
minutes, and SO is seconds. The event
calls for an immense amount of endur-
ance and but few runners are fit to at
/ tempt it. 1t is seldom included in meets.
The only time il was ever attempted here
was upon the occasion of a Columbia
meet when VIII Stewart. now of the
University of Pennsylvania, won it from
a field of nine starters. some of when
were brought back to the track in wag-
ons.

We're entered to compete in on the other
side Of the Atlantic

confidence last week by winning six out of
the eight events at the amateur champion
ship games held at Huddersfield, Eng
land. Our own A. f. Duffy, of George
town University, the champion sprinter

DEPARTMENTAL BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Early in the spring it was suggested
that because of tie very great interest
aroused in baseball by the location of
ManninG's American League team here,
the time was ripe for the formation
of an amateur league to play a schedule
of games while the professional team
was on tour. Nothing was done in the
matter because Of the lack of interest
among the amateurs until last week when
some of the former leaders in this direc-
tion got together and decided the time
was ripe for a league and organized.
1t was decided that the element of pro-
fessionalism which heretofore did not
tend to make local leagues of great sue
cess. should not be an ingredient in the
makeup Of the new organization. The
men Will play entirely for The love Of
the sport and for the exercise.
Teams representing the following de-
partments and bureaus constitute the
league: Treasury Department Census
Office; Department of the Interior; Gov
eminent Printing Office; Postoffice De-
partment, and Bureau of Engraving and

at the old National Park, Seventh and
Florida Avenue. 1t is understood that

only. A competent set OF umpires will
hand out decisions. All games will be
played under American League rules
