Several new records for the various teams
were established during the week but most
noteworthy was the work of the Post Office
bowlers, who in addition to putting 2,717
pins In their three games, the highest of
the week. and $40, the largest single string
made new mark for the team with those
figures, their previous best single being 9OS
and three-game total 2.576. They also made
he biggest gain In game average-a jump of
eleven pins-placing them ahead of the
Navy-although the Sailors increased their
figures by three and displaced their high
score Of $40 with Ola The Treasury made
the second largest gain in game average,
coming up from 772 to 1872, while their
string of $40 was seventy-two pins better
than their former high game, and $50 for
three games is 1853 pins ahead of their pre-
vious total. The "Aggies" made a new
low-water mark for themselves with g. 701
game and scored loss of ten pins In game
average. The standing Of the three leaders
remains unchanged. each having gained
two In average per game. The average for
all the teams during the week Is 1913 per
game, which Is a fine showing, particularly
so as the G. and L. rolled two games under
700. The G. P. O.'s go ahead of the "Ag-

articles for six round bout with Peter Ma
her. The mill is to take place at Philadel-
phia before the National A. c. on Novem-
Der 7. This will be Munroe's first fight In
the east, and local sports will then know
whether to take the miner seriously. Ma
her is heavy hitter and il he reaches Mum
roe just right he will come pretty near
knocking him out. If Munroe succeeds in
whipping Maher 1t will not help his reputa-
ton much, but it will go long way toward
convincing the sports that he is fighter to

CRACK PLAYERS JOIN SENATORS.
Hillebrand Brothers Of Princeton to
Wear Washington Uniforms.

The journey of President Ban Johnson of
the American League and Wilton H. Lam
bert. counsel for the Washington club, TO
Princeton last Friday proved most success
full, as they obtained two of the greatest
college players in the country for the local
team. The players are Arthur Hillebrand,
the pitcher, and his brother. Homes Hille-
brand, first baseman of the Princeton team
Of 1902. Both men are thorough athletes
but on account OF objections from their
parents the two had about decided to stay
out Of professional base ball. Messrs.
Johnson and Lambert were closeted with
the brothers for something like seven
hours Friday, all the arguments possible
being used to get their names to a Wash
ington contract, and they finally gave in
and agreed to report here in the spring.
When Arthur Hillebrand was pitching for
Princeton in 1902 he was conceded to be
the best pitcher in the college world and in
a game on the Georgetown campus clearly
Outpitched White. who was serving them up
for the Blue and the Gray team. White has
since proved to be twirler of the first
class. which indicates that Hillebrand is
unusually promising. Arthur has been cap
tain and coach for the Princeton foot ball
team in the past few years. and in this line
of sport he is also considered one of the

thing possible to verify his prediction that
Washington would have a good ball club
next season. Three other first-class players
are being negotiated for and with these five
new men the team should make good
showing.
Nothing has been decided upon yet as to
local ownership. but the situation Is ex-
actly as outlined in last Thursdays Star.
When Mr.. Johnson has placed the club In

Harvard defense was strong at times and
on the offensive the reason Harvard gained

INDIANS foxy PLAY.
Coach Warner Tells How Carlisle Got
Touchdown on Harvard.

With such light team and several play
ers not in the best physical condition, SAYS
Coach Warner of the Carlisle foot ball
team. we did not expect to hold the heavy
Harvard team down so well, and we did not
think we had much Of chance to score.
The result was therefore a surprise. We
thought that we might be able to spring a
few things on Harvard. and we did fool
them on one or two tricks. Dillon's long
run of 100 yards with the ball concealed
under his jersey was a neatly executed
trick, and the Harvard players were caught
mapping by IL. The Indians were instruct
ed to use this play the first time Harvard
kicked off, and the play worked like
charm.
1t may not be considered varsity foot
ball. but think 1t was all right for the
Indians to use It, johnson caught the kick

by the other members of the team. They

"AaG1Es" BEAT COLUMBIAN.
Good Crowd Saw the Local Team Shut
Ont

Contrary To the expectations of local foot
ballists the eleven from the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College defeated the Columbian
University team by 9 to o In the game
played Saturday afternoon on the grioiron
at Van Ness Park. There was gooo-slzeo
crowd on the grandstand and along the sloe
lines, the rooters for both teams being very
much in evidence. At the beginning OF the
contest the Columbian players began
march down the field that raised the hopes
Of her supporters to the top notch. Inc
agriculturists however. took brace when
the ball had been advanced well Into their
territory, and the Columbians were held for
downs The Marylanders then did few
stunts in advancing the ball and the honors
were about evenly divided during the re-
mainder Of the half.
In the second half the NJ A. c. boys went
in to win, and Marquey. the coach Of the
team, who was playing under the name OF
Brown, by splendid run scored touch
down and Captain Watts kicked goal.
Marquey was easily the star Of the game,
and, together with Gill, the speedy little
left end. made most Of the gains for the
Aggies. The team work of the Columbian
eleven was very unsatisfactory. and the line
failed to hold against the onslaughts of the
light men from the agricultural school, CO.
lumbian's backs seemed slow In getting
started. and this fact, coupled with the
failure of the linemen to hold back their
opponents. resulted in several material
losses for the local players.
In the early part Of the game Church. for
the Columbians, made several long runs.
but he seemed to weaken toward the latter
part Of the contest. Stevenson, at quarter,
played a good game, and in the first half
made spectacular tackle of Marquey, who
apparently had clear field for a touch
down. Kirkman, who relieved Stevenson at
quarter. also did some good work.
During the rest between halves the CO.
lumbar players registered an objection
against Marquey's playing in the game. 1t
was stated that he IS professional. He
easily outclassed the other players on his
team. The visitors raised the question as
to the eligibility of Church, captain of the
Columbian team. After discussing the mat
ter at considerable length both Marquey
and Church went in the game at the begin
ming of the second half.
The only score of the game was made
early In the second half when, after the
ball had been booted back and forth be-
tween the teams. Maryland got the leather
at about the center of the field Watts
made gain Of fifteen yards through right
tackle, and Marquey then skirted Column
bian's right end for thirty-fiye yards, plac-
ing the leather behind Columbian's goal
posts. Watts kicked goal. When the game
ended the ball was on Maryland's thirty-
yard line.
