HANNA A RAC0NTEUR.
HIS Stories, Old Or New, Are Assured
of Laughter

of Laughter.
Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Mark
Hanna of Ohio is quite a teller of an
ecdotes. although he has never figured
prominently in that regard. Sometimes
they are old stories, but the Senator
tells them with all the more gusto, for
he likes the point. A few days ago
there was banquet here of the Pot
ters' Association, the members where
of have a great deal of money invest
ed in Ohio. One of the stories the
Senator told was as follows:
You have heard about the life in
surance agent that tackled the minis
ter?" he began. you know, we all
have some experience sooner or later
with the insurance men. This man
urged the minister to take insurance,
and was dilating upon the benefits of
insurance when the godly man inter-
rupted him:
" i am already insured
In what company inquired the in
surance man.
with the Lord of Hosts was the
prompt reply.
But l am talking life insurance,
not fire insurance. rejoined the life in
Surance man."
The story is somewhat old, and has
been told with variations, but the mar
ration of 1t by Senator Hanna pleased
the audience of potters immensely, for
they have a business that requires a
good deal of fire.
Senator Hanna has a quick percep-
ton of business affairs, but he rarely
remembers the names of persons he
comes in contact with. 1t is said that
some of the men who labored with
him in the national headquarters of the
last presidential campaign, holding
somewhat responsible positions, were
unknown to him by name-that is, he
could not call them by name without
referring to the records He does not
burden his mind with names, and few,
indeed, are the names he remembers,
even after quite extended acquaint-
ance.

able that return match will be play
ed on the Darien links the early part
of the year.
The play of the Savannahians show
ed how material has been the improve
ment of their form since last season.
No official score of the entire round
was kept, but it is known that each
of the players was pretty close to the
figures of his best game. The Sa-
vannah players are now ambitious to
defeat the Darien team on the Darien
links. and will do their utmost to do so
when they visit Darien, in January.
The tennis court of the Savannah
Golf Club, which was laid out some
time ago will be ready for use, 1t is
expected, in about week. There are
a number of good tennis players in The
club, so the court will be we'll patron

DUFFY's GREAT WORK.
Champion Splinter Equals Worlds
Record at Sixty Yards.


Arthur F. Duffy, the wonderful little
Splinter of Georgetown University, gave an
extraordinary exhibition of his prowess at
the games of the New York Athletic Club
held at Travers Island Saturday afternoon.
Running on track made slow by heavy
downpour of rain and in a sultry atmos-
phere, he succeeded in equaling the worlds
record for sixty yards. He conceded a
start Of seven feet to w. E. Kaufman of
the National A. c. and George H. Holman
of the Jersey City A. A, and broke the
tape yard in front of his opponents, COW
ering the distance in 6 2-5 seconds
Then he tried for the 50-yard record of
5la seconds, which, like the record for sixty
yards, stands to the credit of the late Lon
Myers, and was paced by the same men.
Duffy left the mark in grand style and
STROBE the distance in 5 3-5 seconds, again
defeating his opponents by a yard. Every
watch held on the little champion regis
he must have come very near making
new record in each Of the events. Had the
track been dry it is very probably that
he would have succeeded in establishing
new figures.
Duffy said Saturday night in New York
that he had been resting since the inter-
collegiate championships and would do no
more training until he reaches England.
He will sail for London on the steamer
Ptur1a next Saturday morning.
Fully 5000 persons attended the sixty
eighth games of the New York Athletic
Club at Travers Island Saturday afternoon
There was heavy downp0ur Of rain just
before the crowd arrived, but no rain fell
during the contests.

EYES ON PoUGHKEEPsIE.
College oarsmen Journey Toward the
Hudson This Week.

College crews have completed arrange
ments for the opening of the Poughkeep-
sic campaign. Pennsylvania oarsmen will
arrive at the Hudson river town on We'd
nesday and will live at Highland with
their boat house just above the bridge.
Cornelrs oarsmen are scheduled to reach
Poughkeepsie on June Is. and. as last year.
will stay at the Oaks, on the west shore
just below the finish of the four-mile course
Georgetowns crew will be the next con-
tingent to arrive on June IA. They will go
to the Morgan House. Their boat house is
at the Nelson lumber yards.
Columbia's oarsmen will be unusually
late in reaching Poughkeepsie this year. as
they do not arrive until Sunday. June 10
This is due to Hanlon's belief that the
Poughkeepsie climate is enervating to his
men. Columbia's oarsmen will live this
year at the Windsor Hotel, about a mile
from the Nelson House, where they will
board. They will have the same inconven-
lent boathouse as last year. The other
crews, Wisconsin and Syracuse have not
announced the date of their departure for
Poughkeepsie.
All crews will spend much time on the
river in hard work from their arrival until
the intercollegiate races on June q.
In order that spectators on the observa-
ton train can this year definitely determine
which crew is which it has been decided
that each stakeboat at the start shall fly
the respective colors of the crew whose
stakeboat 1t is. There will be thirty-four
cars on the observation train.

much weakened on account of four of their
regular players failing to turn up, defeated
the Jeffersons at Chevy Chase Sunday af-
ternoon in a smuggling match by p to To-
The hitting on both sides at times was
quite heavy. Mcdonald, Vermfilion and
Cook doing the best work for the winners,
while Hereford and English did the same
for the losers.
The team representing w. B. Moses &
Sons was defeated by the Glover base ball
team by a score of 9 to Z. The features of
the game were the batting of Mathews and
Mcguire, the latter having five hits to his
credit and the fielding of Streamer and
Small, the former making two difficult
catches. The winners would like to ar
range games with teams averaging eighteen
years. Address c. Burke, 327 9TH street

Two More Records Were Broken.

In the hurry and hustle of the field games
of the District High Schools, on the George
town University campus last Friday, two
remarkable performances were overlooked
and have just come to the front as a result
of an investigation. 1t was thought that
only the hammer throw record had been
beaten, but 1t was learned that Huddleson
who put the shot thirty-eight feet nine
inches, beat the record, which was thirty
seven feet four inches.
In the 220-yard race Dick Dear did the
distance in % 2-5, the best previous record
being 23A. When this race was in progress
it was noticed that Dear had gotten away
from the start in splendid shape and had
raced for the first 100 yards like the wind
When told at the finish the figures made
Dear wouldn't believe 1t, as he had ''loafed''
in the stretch, and for this reason II is
pity that he hadn't some one to push him
all the way home.
