McGRAW ANXIOUS.
New York Manager Not So Sure of
Landing National Pennant-

1t is said that Manager McGraw of the
Giants is not so confident of winning the
pennant he was earlier in the season
At that time when the Giants were sweep
ing everything before them, the little
manager was of the opinion that no team
in the league was capable Of overtaking
his champions. or even looming up as dam
gerous contenders.
Pittsburg and Chicago were not playing
up to their usual form then, and that en-
abled the New Workers to increase their
lead. Now, however. with lead of only
fourteen games over the Pirates McGraw
is beginning to scratch his head Over
confidence has given away to endless wor-
ny and anxiety.

playing of the champions lately, and Nc

Columbia A. c. Defeats Carroll.

Taking everything into consideration the
game at the Coliseum yesterday afternoon
was probably the best and cleanest con-
test played In the Capital City League this
season. Not until the last inning were the
victors able to secure winning lead. the
final score being to 2 In favor of the CO.
lumbia Athletic Club.
The winners were more fortunate when
men wer on bases. Taylor's home run and
Hoyles double being secured at the most
opportune times. Both pitchers, for the
most part. had the batters at their mercy.
ing no bases on balls. while the latter pre-
sented five free trips. The fielding was al
most perfect. The four errors charged to
both sides were all caused by unfortunate
bounds rather than ordinary mishandling OF
the sphere.
Mullen performed the most sensational
stunt of the afternoon. completing double
play after capturing fly while sprinting
into right field. Dawson made a great stop
at third and in his hurry threw low to first
but Edmonston saved him an error. by q
long reach and neat pickup. Leonard and
Stone knocked down many hard hit ball
and got their men at first. Glotzback did
the best work In the outfield. Smith. as
usual. played a fine game behind the bat.
Columbia scored twice in the third. Smith
singled and preceded Taylor across the
plate on the latter's liner over the left field
fence. For the institute. Cullen in the
third. singled, went to third on keane's safe
one to center and tailed on Edmonstons
long fly to Taylor.
Carroll tied the score in the seventh. Daw
son singled to center and Carricks walked.
Cullen unbottled his second hit and Daw-
son counted. The winning runs were Sc
cured in this way: Hoyle hit to center, the
ball bounding badly and allowing the bat
ter to take two bases. Glotzback hit to
keane and HOyle was called safe at third
on questionable decision. Glotzback stole
second and both runners crossed the count
ing block Smiths long single to left.

Freshmen Defeat the Cowboys.

In a iong-drawn-out and poorly played
game the Pressmen defeated the Cowboys
yesterday by 10 to IL. Wild throwing and
bad fielding predominated. and the Press
men won only by taking advantage of
every misplay made by the Cowboys and
making their hits count. How the errors
affected the game can be seen by the fact
that although the Pressmen made but
eleven hits they scored eighteen runs.
Happier was in poor form. and this. with
his poor support. enabled the Freshmen to
ring up easy victory. 1t was Kapplers
first defeat OF the season. he having won
eleven straight.
Williams. after getting q bad start, set
tied down and pitched fine game. and let
up only after his side had obtained lead
almost too big to be overcome.
About the only feature of the game aside
from the promiscuous throwing Of the Cow
boys was Webb's home run, the hit being
about the longest ever made on the Malone
lot. Cotter also hit long one for all the
bags.
The Cowboys started off like winners and
got four runs In the first, but they did not
tally again until the fifth. when they got
two more. Their dying effort came IN the
sixth. when by hard batting they scored
five runs. The Freshmen easily ran up
total of nine up to the fifth, when fifteen
batters went to the plate, and by the time
three were out nine more runs had crossed
the counting block The score:

finish second in Section B Of the Sunday

FACULTY sURRENDERs CONTROL
OF ATHLETICS.

The Rev. Jerome Daugherty, 8. j.. presi-
dent of Georgetown University. announces
that the athletics of the anniversary In the
future will be practically in the hands Of
the alumni and undergraduates. Father
Daugherty said: The university and the
students i'm the past. as far as athletics
were concerned. were as father and son.
The finances of the athletic association
were under the control of the treasurer of
the university. who disbursed the money
and made good any deficits. and together
with this the faculty provided for the ath-
letes at the college the training table. at
considerable expense. The deacit has gen.
orally been from 81 800 to 5000 each year,
and at last the faculty has resolved to al
low the students to manage the AFFAIRS and
see II they. when given this free rein. Will
be able to make q better showing fnan-
cially than their predecessors. What the
faculty of Georgetown University has in
mind Is to terminate the age Of pupilage OF
the students as far as the management OF
the different athletic bodies Is concerned,
and let them shift for themselves. and In
called upon each year to supply the deficit.
We have given them everything: the ath-
lettc field has been graded. grand stand
and bleachers have been provided a supply
of shells and accessories has been procured,
coaching launch and indoor rowing ma
chimes and many other devices for the
physical training of the young men have been
obtained, at a cost of about 5000 They
should have absolutely no trouble In MAX
Ing all branches of athletics pull through
without deficit. with the possible excep-
ton of the crew. The deficit In this branch
will be easily remedied IL the management
will only exert itself to the utmost, for
there are many ways of procuring the
funds for the proper maintenance of the
crew The showing Of the crew In the race
at Poughkeepsie this year has done much
to increase the interest In rowing among
the students of the university. and we hope
that as time goes on the spirit will in
crease.
