Georgetown Crew Left Washington
This Morning for New York Course.

With perfect precision the varsity crew OF
the Georgetown University rowed over the
course on the Potomac river late yesterday
afternoon. and after the trial had been fin
ished Coach Dempsey bore a satisfied look.
1t was their last spin over the local course,
as they left this morning over the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad for Poughkeepsie at
8 O'Clock under the care of Coach Dempsey
and Manager Gelpi 1t Is expected that they
will arrive at Poughkeepsie In time this
evening to take trial spin over the course.
While no attempt was made yesterday aft
ernoon to make any record time yet the
pace that was set by the crew in the shell
kept the launch Georgetown racing with
high pressure. and as fast as she goes it
was all she could do to keep abreast of the
shell. When the crew returned to the boat
house they were trained to the minute. and
after being rubbed down the work in prep
aration for the trip was begun. Capt. Gra-
ham, at No. 3, Is doing fine work and is
confident of making a good showing over
the course upon the Hudson on June 49, 1t
cannot be denied for moment that Demp-
sey has worked wonders with the crew. and
II the victory should be snatched by the
blue and gray he should come in for his
share of the praise. The crew made up
will row as follows upon the Hudson:

Yesterday was a bad day for the oarsmen
at Poughkeepsie. for 1t not only rained
steadily, but there was brisk breeze, which
made the water quite choppy. Cornell in
the afternoon had a two-mile spin down
stream between its varsity and freshman
eights. The senior crew won handiiy, as it
usually does.
Columbia made an attempt at time trial.
but owing to rough water could attain no
great amount of speed. The form and style
OF the men appeared satisfactory to Mr..
Goodwin The four Is travelling pretty well
in the new order with Ferris, 20e-pound-
er. at stroke. Ward gave the Pennsyl-
vanians hard. steady work. taking out each
crew separately. The Syracuse men were
out twice and did some strong work at a
slow stroke. Wisconsin is due there today.
A report Is in circulation that Richard
Glendon, coach at Annapolis, will act in
similar capacity next year at Columbia, in
place of Jasper T. Goodwin. This, however,
was denied at the Columbia quarters.
The Cornell men are now back in fine
shape. and they are commonly thought to
be very nearly the equal of the 1891 eight
which established the American record, 10
minutes 43 1-5 seconds The freshmen how
ever, are not thought to be as good as last
year.

AS usual. the Women's National Tennis
Association tournament for the champion
ship of the United States, at present in
progress upon the courts OF the Phiiadei-
phia C. C. at Wissahickon, attracted a
large amount Of attention among the lovers
of the game and a representative gallery
OF onlOokers and players witnessed the va
rfous matches In the second round OF the
different events. The courts played fast
and true. Many prominent society person.

signified their appreciation of the various
good plays by their hearty applause
In the Women's singles much interest was
displayed In the match between Mrs Ho-

champion. was In fine form. Her placing
and accurate hitting proved too much for
her opponent and she won In straight sets
Continuing her victorious play. Miss Moore
then defeated Miss C. Medley, the western
champion. In the first set Miss Medley
showed to advantage and placed her
strokes with much accuracy and pace and
took the set at Ga. However, Miss Moore
was not to be denied and. showing her best
form. took the remaining sets and the
match at 6-1. go. This match now leaves
Miss Moore with only one formidable an

TR1-sTATE LEAGUE MEETING.
Magnates Get Wise and Indorse Presi.
dent Dreamer.

The Tri-State League meeting at Harris
burg last night was a harmonious affair
and the members seemed to realize that to
save their organization it would be better
for them to bury differences and get to-
gether. The first thing done was to de-
cline to accept the resignation of President
7. B. Dreamer of Philadelphia rendered at
the meeting in that city last week This
action was by vote of 6 to 1, Harrisburg
not voting and Lancaster voting against
it.
Then the following resolution was pre-
sented
Resolved. That we reiterate the con-
fdence expressed in the actions of Presi-
dent T. B. Creamer for the Tri-State
League in his administration of affairs,
which we believe to have been the best for
the interests of this body
Resolved, That the representatives of
the Trf-State League, in meeting assem-
bfed, give to the president the power to
deal with unruly and boisterous players in
the same manner, and under the same
power, as that vested In the presidents of
the American and National League bodies;
that the president Of this league be ex-
tended all possible courtesies by this assoc
citation. and that his decision on all mat
ters OF rowdyfsm be final and be regarded
as the decision of the Tr-State League"
This was adopted by a vote of to 2,
Harrisburg and Lancaster voting against 1t.
1t was decided to fine Duffy OF Harris
burg and McGlynn of York $40 for their
scrap on the York field on Monday, and If
any penalized players offend hereafter their
penalty will be doubled for each offense
The retention of Mr.. Dreamer with all the
rights and powers of the big league presi-
dents Is regarded as a happy solution OF
the difficulty which threatened to put the
Tri-State out of business.

Bermudians started their innings none too
auspicieusly, as Permission. who opened with

out scoring.
H. Stephens, who joined Conyers. did not
survive long. being also bowled by O'Neili
for 3. With Conyers and Tucker together
the brightest batting OF the day was shown.
Both men played themselves H. and then
treated the spectators to some beautiful
batting. Or the two. Conyers was the safer.
He kept the bali well down and seldom
made risky stroke. All the bowling came
along alike to these players and it was not
until the partnership had realized over a
hundred runs that Conyers was splendidly
caught at short slip for a thoroughly sound
and splendidly hit 6S. Gilbert and Tucker
continued to score freely. but with the lat
ter's total standing at 20 he was bowled by
Clark. fuckers vigorous innings was only
marred by one difficult chance and he thor
ough1y deserved the applause he received
on returning to the club house. Darrell was
quickly dismissed, and then Gilbert and
Kortlang played out time, the first named
having 81 not out to his credit.
AS the Bermudans score stands 226 with
five wickets in hand. they will hold very
appreciate advantage when the game is
resumed today.

BERMUDA Tenn Made Coed Start

The representatives OF the Hamilton
Cricket Club of Bermuda opened their Phil
adelphia tour at Mannheim yesterday with
the match against Germantown. and have
every reason to congratulate themselves on
the form they displayed. In batting. bowl

Germantown won the toss and sent IN w.

HIGH-cLAss TENNIS.
Americans Played Well in Big London
Tourney.

The feature of the play in the lawn tennis
tournament for the championship of London
yesterday was the brilliant form displayed
by Holcombe Ward, the American cham
pion who easily defeated M. w. 8. Richie,
holder OF the London title. The pair came
together In the second round Of the mems
open singles at the Queens Club. the
Americans game again eliciting the warm
est applause.
Before the match began It was thought
that the change Of climate would have an
adverse effect on Mr.. Ward against such a
formidable opponent. Doubts on this point,
however. were soon put to rest. From the
beginning Mr.. Richie experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in taking his opponents
skillful service. 1t was not in this depart
ment only that the American champion ex-
celled.
Mr.. Wards volleys. especially his cross
court volleys, were wonderfully accurate,
and his 81 victories in the first two sets
afforded a pretty fair indication OF the ex-
celience of his game.
That the American can fight an uphill
battle was demonstrated by the way In
which he wore his opponent down In the
third set. Mr.. Richie began playing with
more confidence and led at So. Then Mr..
Ward gave one of the best exhibitions Of
pluck and resource ever seen on an English
court. He drew level at all and ulti-
mately won this set. which was the last
one, ny 1U-o.
After this victory over Mr. Richie, Mr.
Ward should have little difficulty in getting
into the final round, when. If matches in
the next two rounds end as anticipated, he
should meet n. E. Brooks. best of the
Australian competitors. Mr.. Brooks was
at one time greatly fanCied to win outright,
but after Mr.. Wards superb display English
critics are inclined to pin their faith to the
American.

lost the match by three sets to one.
