PHILADELPHIA club.
The colonel then took an affectionate leave
of his old colleagues. In few words he
expressed his regret at parting with the
men he had been associated with for TWEEN
ty years. But said the colonel, I'VE old
timers are apt to get into old ruts and set
ways, and I think the infusion Of young
blood will be Of great benefit to the Phila-
delphia club and the National League"
Then on motion Of A. H Soden, Rogers
and Reach were elected honorary life men,
bers of the National League.

BLUE AND aRAY's MEET.
Everything in Shipshape Order for the
Athletes Saturday Night.

All Of the athletes who will compete In
the fifth annual indoor athletic meet OF
Georgetown University, to be held In Con-
vention Hall Saturday night. will arrive in
this city by tomorrow night and take q
few practice sprints on the track at Con-
vention Hall Saturday morning, in order
to get in fit condition and master the
banks at the corner Of the track. The
managers closed the entries Wednesday OF
last week, but they still come in, and it is
expected that some OF the athletes will
leave, OF entering until the night Of the
meet Graduate Manager M. ]. Thompson,
Manager Michael Herman and Tom Kerby
worked until o'clock this morning arrang-
ing the order OF events and fixing the en-
tries and handicaps. There will be twenty
seven events on the card. Thirteen of these
are relay races which have been definitely
decided while the fourteenth has not been
clinched. There are only two field events
the running high jump and the shot. Each
of these events has champion In 1t. Sam
L. Jones Of the N. Y. A. c., the champion
high jumper will have to overcome the
large handicaps given in this event. while
John Dewitt. the champion shot putter, win
be scratch man in that event.
Ten Annapolis cadets are entered in the
various short distance and field events.
This Is the first time in the history Of the
Naval Academy that any men have ever
entered college meet, and 1t is believed
that they will prove great drawing card
and attract a large number Of enthusiasts
who would not otherwise attend the meet.
There is no relay team at the academy, but
the middies are good at short distances,
from fifty yards to the half mile Among
those who are entered are McNair. the
crack quarterback Of last years foot ball
team, and an excellent man at $50 yards.
He will also run In the 440-yard
dash and may enter the ffty-yard invi-
tation, in which Arthur Duffey will start
from the scratch. The other men are De-
lano, Cochran, Openheim, Williams and
several Others All of these men have
trained hard for the short distances, and
should land a few of the prizes. There are
about 100 entries from the various col.
leges, universities, schools and athletic
clubs Of Baltimore. and 1t Is believed that
the monumental city will have more rep
resentatlves than any other city entered
in the meet.
The grand climax Of the meet will be the
race. Since the blue and gray meets
race. Since the Blue and Gray meets
were started five years ago this race has
always been the feature, and 1t Is believed
that this will be the closest and most excit-
ing Of any ever run by the two fast
teams. Capt. Owens. Preston Edmonston.
Joe Reilly and Billy Holland, the feetfooted
lads who compose the blue and gray team,
have practiced hard and faithfully for the
race and hope to smash the record when
they meet the Quakers.

bound to go through the season without
any great Improvement over their early
season play. As usual. Jarvis did their
strongest work, and he justihes the opin-
ion which has been formed to the effect
that he VIII be the mainstay OF the team

and did very well on strikes in the first
and second games. The scores follow:

meetings, and the going will be fast and

Whist at the Marlborough Club.

There was another large crowd Of the best
whist players of the city gathered In the
parlors of the Marlborough Club last night,
the regular weekly visitors night, a round
of compass being on the program. The
hands were unusually well balanced, the
scores of the two divisions being almost
alike. A skllful handling Of three suite
cards and deep finessing proved winning
combination In many. instances. The Misses
Schmidt, sitting north and south, had the
best score of that division. 152, while Mrs.
Allen and Mr.. Davenport and Miss McWil-
Jams and DIR. Kimble were tied for first
honors Of the east and west contingent with
scores OF $50. Eleven tables were necessary
to accommodate the participants Refresh
ments were served after the play.

POSTAL TO SELL.
Terms Probably Agreed to at New
York Meeting.

A special from Detroit says that the gen.
eral belief in base ball circles Is that at the
New York meeting of the American League
Fred. Postal Is apt to sell his majority
holdings In the Washington team. He re-
ceived letter Tuesday morning from the
Washington syndicate saying its members
would meet him at New York. and the i'm
preston In Washington Is that the deal
will be closed then.
The reason Of the delay is thought tc
have been the failure of Ban johnson to
announce the location Of his New York
grounds. With this park advantageously
situated the value Of every franchise Is
increased. but Postal gave the Washington
men to understand that he would expect
more IL the grounds were in q good place.
