that God would forever condemn an

the best chance Of getting him..
Titus is thoroughly disgusted with

ance is that the club promised to pay
his expenses to the Worcester regatta,

He will row at Henley next year. but
what club he will represent is by no
means certain. However, 1t will not

sociaticn of teams promises to be even
stronger than last year.
Pittsburg will again be in the foot

including Pittsburg. There will be two
teams in Philadelphia, one in Chicago,
one in New York, and from present in
dications Homestead may join the or
sanization with a strong team.
In Chicago the movement to place a
team in that city is fostered by George
Woodruff, former coach for the Univer-
sfty of Pennsylvania. David ]. Berry,
president of the league, expects to hear
from Woodruff any day, and if Chicago
joins the league it goes without saying
that Woodruff will put strong team in

idea of putting an all-star eleven in the

Dinkey has the football fever and that
he is likely to get in line and organize
a nrst-class team to represent the steel
town.
Football has never paid in Pittsburg.

at least clear expenses. Last season the
backers of the famous all-star Home

be put on permanent footing, the same
as baseball.
The Pittsburg team will be under the
management of David j. Berry. The
coach and captain is W. B. Richardson.
OF Brown, who was with the Homesteads
the last two seasons.
