path who have seen the big cups say that
| they are by far the finest hung up at an
| outdoor meet In this city for years, and
| that they will be coveted by the successful
| contestants cannot be gainsaid
The base ball game between the pennant
leaders of the two local leagues-St. Ste
phen's and Fourth Presbyterians-will be
the biggest event of the afternoons sport.
| This contest will serve to satisfy the fol-
| lowers Of the City and Church Leagues as
| to the relative strength of the two organi-
cations: Both clubs finished their regular
| schedules some time ago, but in order to
| keep in the very best possible condition
| have been playing games nearly every day
| with Independent teams c. this city. Capt.
Charlie King and Manager Wolhaupter will
| select either Red Waller or Donaldson
to go on the rubber. while Bradley will be
| behind the bat for Fourth Capt MORT
arity. of st. Stephens is still undecided
| whether Lowe, Buscher or kidweIl will be
& vvb iahn iC in ha
| best condition on Monday will be the man
| chosen to defend the City Leaguers "Old
Reliable Graves will catch. St. Stephens
| will be somewhat handicapped by injuries
| to Handiboe and Hughes. 1t is hoped that
| these players will round to in time for the
game, but it is feared that their recent in
dispositions will initiate considerably
| against their teams play. In compliance
with mutual agreement entered into at
the time the game was arranged there will
| be two umpires. Handiboe of Capital and
Coliiiower of the Sunday School will OFF,
| ciate. Tickets for the meet will be good
for the grand stand and will include the
| ball game.
| The Maryland Athletic Club has decided
| to send its fast relay team to compete in
| the meet. The Baltimore quartet is one
| of the fastest In the section. and in order
| to give 1t good race the Georgetown
| management has pitted a Gonzaga four
| against 1t. The latter team will draw from
| the best that Washington has in the line
| of quarter-milers. and will probably be
composed of Fischer Lorando, Edmonston
| and Robey.
| Four teams of the Capital City League will
| run in a special one-mile event. The clubs
| represented will be Carroll Institute, Con-
zaga, Turner and St. Stephens. The Car,
! rolls will be Crowley, Lucas. Cullen and
| Lanahan. This is practically the same four
that ran at the Georgetown indoor games
| last winter. st. Stephens will be repre-
| scented by Fitzgerald, Howard. Ross and
| brewery. This will be the first time that
| the West End institute has entered track
| events, but as practically all the followers
of the organization will be present to root
| for the ball team it was thought advisable
! to make an attempt to win the relay prizes
! The Gonzaga four in the Capital City race
will not be the same as will run against
! Maryland Athletic Club, but will be picked
| from Connolly, Rice, Lorando, Fischer and
| Brown. * .
Two commands of the local militia will be
represented, in the National Guard race.
| The Urell Rifies,zhas a likely quartet in
| Bateman. Ora ham. Gill and Loughlin. The
names of the Capron Cadet team have not
yet been announced, but 1t is understood
give the Urells good fight for the coveted
prizes.
| The Dupont and Independent Clubs will
meet in an intermediate race.
Two more relay races VIII probably be ar
ranged-one between the Y. M. c. A. and
Central High School. and the other for
clubs of the Sunday School League
To guarantee the comfort of the spec
| tators a marshal and several assistants
| have been appoinl,d to keep the inf1eld
| clear of all persons except the regular Off
| Gals All the races will ,.nish at the spa
| cious grand stand, in full view of the
! crowd, while the leid events will be held
| at the northern end of the field, where they
| can be easily seen.
In bringing together two teams of the
National Guard the Georgetown manage
ment has accomplished what Washing
ton managers have been trying to bring
about for several seasons. The Capron
Cadets and the Urell Rifles are the teams
which will meet. The latter association
has an especially fast team in Loughiin,
Graham. Bateman and Gill. Besides this
race the militia will have enries In nearly
all the events.
The intermediate relay will draw teams
from the Dupont and Independent clubs OF
this city The Independent team has not
yet been finally chosen but Dupont Will De
Rosemond. Royce, Johnson and Wallace.
Little Rock team will also probably start
in this
Joe Hill, the American champion hur-
dler and one of the best broad jumpers IN
the country, will compete in the sprint
and broad jump. The two novice events
have their fun quota of young stars VINO
have not yet sacked prize on the cinder
path.
