GEORGETOWN WON
Blue and Gray Ends Home Season With
Victory Over Dickinson.

The GEORGETOWN team closed its season
al home yesterday and celebrated the event
with a victory over Dickinson College by
blue and gray has been recognized by the
local admirers of the team and a large
crowd was on hand to bid them goodbye
for the season of 1902. 1t will be long
while before another team as strong as
that put in the field by Georgetown this
season is gathered together again, and the
records will hardly show a repetition Of
victory over a professional club as strong
as Washington in a series of three games.
In years past Georgetown has won single
games from professionals, but the expe-
rience Of series was rather novel, and
the clever collegians showed their grit by
simply outplaying the Washington team
this spring. The games were won without
Catcher Drill, and this fact places an addi-
tional feather in the caps Of the wearers of
the blue and gray.
In yesterdays game with Dickinson the
Georgetown lads were a little shy in their
fielding. but by good batting managed to
pull the game out Of the fire Three twirl-
ers were sent to the rubber by Georgetown
and each performed splendidly, but six
safe hits being scored by the visitors in
the nine innings
Both teams got off well in the first in
nlng; each side scoring run. Both were
BANKED in the second, but Georgetown
hung up four tallies in the third and Dick
inson was trailing ever after. In the fourth
DICKINSON got two more runs over the
plate and then quit for the day, George
town making an additional run in the fifth
in the last four innings for both
Moran and Morgan secured six of the
nine hits credited to Georgetown Follow

URGED TO ACQUIRE LEARNING.
Address to Colored People by Mrs.
Anna Cooper

The Bethel Literary and Historical Assoc
citation held its closing meeting for the sea-
son at the Metropolitan 4. NJ. L. Church
Tuesday evening. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper.
principal of the NJ Street High School, was
the essayist Of the evening. with the High
School Idea" for her theme.
Mrs. Cooper said that all education is
practical for the purposes for which 1t is in
tended. If, said she, the settlers at Ply
mouth Rock with their centuries OF civili-
cation behind them. found It necessary to
establish Harvard and other universities
while they yet took their guns to church
with them. II was still more necessary for
the colored people. who had not such civiii-
cation behind them. to lay hold Of all the
opportunities for learning afforded them by
universities, colleges, academies and high
schools.
Mrs. Cooper argued that the high school
does not afford higher education. but af-
fords simply finishing touch to a COM
mon school education. She urged the par
ents and patrons to see to IL that their chill
dren are permitted to at least secure the
advantages of a common school education,
which includes the high school course.
The paper was discussed by Messrs. Hem
~ Bailey, Geo. W. Cook. j. w. Cromwell,
Kelly Miller, r.. S. Smith and w. S. Mont
gomery assistant superintendent Of schools
Dr. Williams furnished graphophone
music for the occasion.

FRISCO GETS BIG FIGHT.
Jeffries- Contest to Come
OF in California,

OF in California.
James ]. Jeffries, champion heavyweight
pugilist Of the world. and Robert Fitzsim-
mons met in San Francisco yesterday after
noon and came to an agreement to fight for
the worlds championship.
Fitzsimmons insisted that he would not
fight unless permitted to wear surgical
sbandages for the protection Of. the hands,
and after some parley on this point JEFF
fries receded from the position he has
assumed recently in objection to. the use
of bandages.
The articles Of agreement will. to all
practical purposes. be identical with the
articles signed in New York some months
ago.
After the two men had announced their
satisfaction with the articles It was mu-
tually agreed that the documents would
be signed on Friday afternoon. Seven
clubs submitted bids for the fight, and
after brief discussion Fitzsimmons told
JeRries that he would leave the matter of
selection Of club to him, with the result
that Jeffries. after some deliberations, ex-
pressed the opinion that the bid of the San
Francisco Athletic Club, Offering 20 per
cent Of the gross receipts, was the best
Fitzsimmons accepted the suggestion and It
was agreed that the contest should be held
under the auspices Of the club mentioned.
The date Of the contest will be decided
upon later, but It - generally belisved that

SWAMP LAND GRANTS.
Favorable Report Ordered on the Bill
Adjusting Them.

The committee on public lands of the
House has. by a vote Of to Z. ordered
a favorable report on the bill adjusting the
swamp land grants. which have been a dis
turbing factor in the settlement of obli-
cations owing to the swamp land states by
the government for a number of years. The
swamp land act of 1850 granted to sixteen
of the public land states all the swamp
lands in those states and directed the Sec
rotary of the Interior to withdraw these
lands from SALE He failed to do this and
the government went on selling them. In
1857 Congress passed a law paying the pur-
chase. price of 81 % per acre for the swamp
lands the government had sold and which
belonged to the states.
This act, the Secretary Of the Interior
held did not cover sales made after the
passage of the act. The bill which was or
dered reported today covers all the sales OF
swamp lands for that period. Representa-
tive Kleberg of Texas gave notice that he
would file a minority report.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
English and American Teams to Meet
for Davis Trophy.

The cabled challenge for the international
tawn tennis matches planned this year for
the Davis cup has been duly confirmed by
letter from the secretary of the English
Lawn Tennis Association to the officials of
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association. In this formal challenge G.
r. Newburn, the English secretary, says:
II am glad to think that there is no likeli-
hood of the match falling through this
year.
American players now feel confident that
there will be no repetition of last season S
fiasco, and there seems little chance of the
match falling through. The English COM
mittee must have already secured assur-
ances from the representatives it wants to
send over here that they will make the
trip. This is evidenced by the confident
tone Of the English challenge.
Immediately upon receipt of the regular
challenge, P. E. Presbrey, the American
secretary. cabled and wrote the acceptance
that had been already authorized. DR..
Dwight, president of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association, promptly
appointed an International committee to
care for all preliminary arrangements and
Dwight. Richard Stevens and p. Z. Pres
brey, who are, respectively, president, treas
urer and secretary of the American asso-
citation.
1t is expected that the matches will be
played on the grounds Of the St. George
Cricket Club. Hoboken, early in August.

teens not only beat his next nearest op-
ponents by eight strokes, but in the after

Browns Played Without Error.

Pitcher Powell has no one but himself to
blame for the loss of the game, as the
Browns fielded without an error and in the
one inning gave their twirler new start
by picking up the lost ground and going
one run aahead. But the Senator's would
not be denied. and. although Powell put on
steam. the hits necessary to win out were
forthcoming. and the visitors debut Of the
season in Washington had to go down as
defeat.
The Senators got good start in the first
inning, and Powell bad one Ryan, the
first man up. waited patiently, and was re-
warded with base on balls. Wolverton
hit nice liner over second and Delehanty
was given free pass to the initial corner,
filling the bases. Clever Billy Keister
whipped out single to left field, Ryan
and Wolverton scoring. but DELI was
nailed at third on the play, a good throw
by Burkett to Mccormick turning the trick
Keister took second on the throw in. and a
minute later scored on Coughlin's hard sim
gle to center, the Scranton boy having made
up his mind that he was going to be in the
fun.
With this good lead the spectators settled
PACK to witness rear-end fight from the

Browns went out in almost one-twO-three
order. a hit by Anderson in the second in

tine. But in the fifth the visitors touched

and when the smoke had cleared away. the
Senators chances for the game looked
very slim.
