Is doubtful If ever before so many athletes

son. as the Georgetown track is every day
crowded with college and school-boy sprint

NEW MOTOR CYCLE RECORD.
From This City to Baltimore in One
Hour and Thirty Minutes.

Mr.. John B. Kershaw of Washington D.
c.. yesterday succeeded in breaking the
motor cycle record from Washington to
Baltimore, recently made by Harry Parks,
whose time was one hour and forty min
utes. kershaw Topped ten minutes off of
this record. leaving Washington at 625 a. m
and arriving at the Gwynn Falls bridge on
the Washington road at exactly 7.55, which
makes a new record for the course The
trip was a remarkable one for the fact that
the drive was made against a regular March
gale. and the rider used motor cycle
Weighing less than 125 pounds. while the
rider tips the scale at 1S5, which weight
the little Indian motor pulled through the
deep sand and up the steep grades fast
the rider cared to ride. Kershaw is con-
fident that he can easily reduce this time
under better conditions as the road was
full of mud holes, due to the recent rains,
and he also lost much time by taking a
cropper In the deep sand near Laurel, which
fall caused him to lose several minutes.
Kershaw was sent off at Washington by
V. c. Wrenn of 1901 III street northeast and
was timed at the Baltimore end by Howard
A. French, vice president of the Federation
of American Motor Cyclists: Albert A. Ker-
shaw. Warren Meyer. James Crook j. L.
Carney, j. r. Ellers and James Stewart.
The motor cyclist took the early start so
as to avoid teams on the road, which even
at the early hour were very much in evil
dence, but did not inconvenience him half
as much as the innumerable dogs, which
CANNES greeted him with a snap and loud
barks as he went flying past the many
residences along the pike
Kershaw used but half gallon of gaso-
line on the trip, and will defend the title
against all corners. and expects to again
have a trial later in the season This time
beats all times over the road, as the best
time for the automobiles Is a shade under
two hours for the distance.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON IN TOWN.
Will Act as Mascot for the Nationals
This Afternoon.

President Ban Johnson Of the American
League reached Washington yesterday at
noon. coming over from Philadelphia.
where he has been the guest of President
Shibe of the Athletics for the past three
days. Shortly after Mr.. Johnson's arrival
he was surrounded by the officials of the
local club at the New Willard and for
three hours all the ground was gone over
since his last visit to the city. The con-
ference was secret, but 1t is more than
likely that President Johnson was asked
to help the Nationals along in the matter
of getting players from clubs whose pay
roll at present Is too large.
Later in the evening an Evening Star re-
porter cornered Mr.. Johnson. but the
great base ball leader had nothing to give
out in the way of news. He said the open
ing over in Philadelphia was something
tremendous and he stood heady to wager
suit of clothes that there were more
Friday than at the Polo grounds. New
York. Notwithstanding that the attend
ance at the latter place was given as

Mr.. Johnson has always been sort OF
mascot for the Nationals and he will stay
over this afternoon and see the local
boys win their first game from the New
Yorks. Jack Powell will do the twirling
for the Hghlanders. while Wolfe or
Townsend will be on the rubber for the
Nationals.
Tomorrow afternoon the Champion Bos-
tons Will start a series of three games
with the Nationals and the contests should
be interesting all the way. The Bean
eaters have been treated somewhat harsh

games, but the material is there and 1t Is

PENNsY's BIG MEET.
The Local Universities to Send Strong
Teams

Interest in the relay races to be held by
the University of Pennsylvania upon
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in May Is in
creasing in this city, as George Washing
ton University and Georgetown University
will both be contestants in the events. The
array of colleges and the lower schools to
be entered will be large. as up to the pres
emit time more than fifty college teams.
forty grammar and one hundred prepara-
tory and high school teams are entered.
The interest In the minor schools Is not so
great but it is confidently expected that
the championship events will furnish some
fine sport. The one mile relay has as en-
trants Yale. Harvard. Princeton. Chicago,
University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown
and Syracuse. Yale, Cornell. Syracuse and
Pennsylvania are in the twO-mile cham
pionship. Yale, Princeton. Michigan and
University of Pennsylvania are in the four
mile event This event is attracting unusual
attention, as Michigan is entered and 1t is
believed that a strong team represents the
Wolverines this year. 1t is also probable
that Michigan will enter the twO-mlle,
while Harvard will also enter another team
in the different events to be held. Column
bia and the University of Wisconsin have
not entered their team as yet, but it is
stated that they will be among the con-
testants at the events. They will probably
be among the entries shortly, as 1t had
been decided by the authorities at both

cided upon

given under the auspices OF Tome Insti-
tute, Port Deposit. Nd. some time In May,
and the Georgetown outdoor meet. which
will likely be held on Labor day.
At the relay races on April -, George
town. Georgetown Law. Gailaudet. George
Washington and Central High School Will
send teams to represent their respective In
stitutious. and it Is probable that each one
of the Washington teams will bring back
trophies. as they are all showing up wei
in practice.
The Central High School boys have been
training conscientiously for the relay car
nival. and yesterday held preliminary trials
for the team. which rested in a pretty race
between Kemper, Kent. Sherman. Connor
and Wallace. The boys presented pretty
picture as they lined up across the track
for the start, and at the crack of the pistol
Kent got of first, closely followed by wal
lace, Kemper, Sherman. Conner and the
others They held these positions until the
homestretch. when Wallace came. up along
side of Kent. who was then leading. ana
Kent, through an accident, pushed Wallace
on the grass. which in all probability de-
prived the latter of the race They then
finished in the following order: kemper,
first; Kent, second; Sherman. third: Con-
nor. fourth: Wallace. fifth; Mccormick.
sixth, and the others closely following.
The most promising candidates for the
Georgetown varsity relay team are: Null
ligan who Is now acting captain as Nc
Carthy. the captain Of the team. left yes
terday for his home In Boston on account
of Illness: Sullivan. a member Of the indoor
relay team for the last two years: Yoder.
captain of the law school team; Lorando.
substitute on the varsity indoor relay team;
Bremen and Van Lindsey. both of whom
are promising men, If Mccarthy does not
recover in time to take part in the relay
races 1t will greatly handicap the George
town team, though many of the other col
lege teams are suffering from Illness and
poor condition on the part Of their best
men. Taylor, Pennsylvania crack negro
quarter-miler, was defeated Friday in the
poor time Of SIS seconds, and If he does
not do better than that Mullfgan of George
town, an old running mate of his, can give
him ten yards and defeat him In his pres
ent condition. Yale should again win the
one-mile championship this year, with sec
Ond and third places a toss up between
Harvard. Georgetown and Pennsylvania.
The Gallaudet boys have always made the
Pennsylvania relay races special. and for
the last two or three years won their event.
Though they lost their best men last year
they are confident of again winning first
prize this year. The Georgetown law relay
team will be picked from the following
Staple Watson and George. Last year the
law school team made quite a reputation.
defeating twelve out OF the fourteen teams
that they competed against. and as they are
in an easier class than last year they should
certainly win.
1t is hard to predict the chances Of the
George Washington team, as they are near
ly all new men at the game. but, with the
enthusiasm they possess there is no reason
why they should not make creditable
showing.

Baltimore and Ohio Athletic Association
team opened the season auspiciously by
easily defeating the Gallaudet College team
of Washington, d. c., IA to l.
The soggy condition of the field. owing to
the heavy rain Friday night. made fast team
work impossible and interfered with the In
fielders in play. The fielding of the visitors
was "off color" and the game soon be-
came one-sided. There were no distinct
features of the game except fast double
play by Erb, Beall and Coggins, and Her
zogg's hit over center fielder's head for a
home run.
