Michael Thompson one of the athletic
directors of Georgetown University, has
beer in Philadelphia for several days as

man, who will coach the Georgetown crew

The new boat will be an exact model Of
the world-renowned Victory, in which the
Fesper eight won the worlds championship
at Paris. The Victory was built on the
most original lines laid down by Coach
Dempsey and was universally praised.
American oarsmen conceded the shell the
finest they ever saw, and at Paris 1t Great
ed a sensation.
Coach Dempsey said last night in Phila-
delphia that he does not think a boat can
be built to eclipse the Victory, but that
Builder Glass can make the new boat her

Christian Association team two out of
three games. The business Men are bring.
ing up the rear of the District Bowling
League championship, while the Associa-
ton team has always been considered a
contender for first place honors. The only
thing that favored the Business Men last
night was that the contest came off on
their alleys, but this handicap was so small
that the Association was picked as sure
winners. Neither team did any bowling to
be proud of in the first game, the Business
Men winning out by the score Of 696 to
6iS. In the second game the Business Men
braced up and in bowling over the 500
mark headed off the Association boys. who
also improved in their work. In the last
game the Association bowlers still further
improved in their work, while the Business
Men went back, with the result that the
former won out with a good margin.
The games were devoid of special fea-
lures, except that splits happened with
great frequency both sides. Hopkins
played the best game for the Business Men,
and krauss ran up good scores for the AS
sociation. McCafferty of the Business Men
captured the evenings high score honors

ty This is a kind of bondage which Is not

Napoleon Lajoie and George Davis nave
been pronounced the two best base ball
players in America. There is little doubt
about Lajoie's right to such prominence
for ever since ne came into the National
League he has had the public by the ears.
Davis is undoubtedly without a peer as a
shOrtstop, but he cannot be classed with
Lajoie as a general all around player. Da-
Wis is fine batsman and a fair base run
ner but in all respects it would not be
fair to say that he ranks higher than such
men as John McGraw Of Baltimore and
James Collins of Boston. Davis, by the
way, will be the captain of the Chicago
American League team this year. His jump
from the New York club was a hard plow
to base ball in that city, where Davis has
played regularly since 1893. When he went
there from the Clevelands. he was center
fielder and was known as '.Sensa tional Da-
Wis., all over the league circuit. He was
placed at third base by John Ward and
promptly showed himself to be superb
infielder, as well standing up near the
top in batting. In Davis shoes will be
placed a college amateur named Anderson,
who has had no experience among profess
sonals.
IN an interview last night at Milwaukee
President Ban Johnson of the American
League said that if the proposed confer
enCe between several base Dali men
is held at Buffalo February 10 that Presi-

A report from San Francisco states that

losing, he had evidently gotten into good
