BALTIMORE, Nd, March Johns Hop
kns will be represented by a strong squad
at the big Georgetown meet in Washington
on next Saturday night. Fourteen men, in
Guiding all of the more prominent athletes.
with the exception of Hill, have been en-
tered. The men are in excellent condition,
and Coach Born and Manager Smith are
confident that they viii bring home good
share of the prizes.
Those who have been entered and the
events in which they will take part are:
5O-yard dash--Padgett, Perez, Hunter,
Knight, Lynch and Branham.
440-yard dash = Street, Padgett and
Lynch.

Breyer.
J0-yard hurdles-Stewart. Padgett, Black.
Branham. Knight and Williams

Knight.

The relay team will probably be pltted
against George Washington University. The
match has not definitely been closed but
the Hopkins authorities have been notified
that George Washington viii run either
Hopkins or Georgetown. Hopkins desired
greatly to meet Virginia, but the fact that
athletic relations have been broken between
Georgetown and Virginia kept the latter
from entering it's team in the meet. The
Hopkins four will consist of Stewart,
Perez. Hunter and Padgett.

GALES EFFECT ON TIDE.
Lowest Water in Potomac That Has
Been Witnessed in Years.

The heavy northwest gale of Monday
night caused lower water in the Potomac
than has been seen for ten years or more.
and converted the broad stream into a mar
row waterway running between banks of
mud. In the harbor the water was blown
out OF the greater part of the docks, leav-
ing them bare. and the vessels In lem w.
Ing on the bottom. The Norfolk line steam
err Newport News, the steamer CHARLES Mac
alester, the T. v. Arrowsm.th and the
Wakefield were aground almost the entire
day, and had they been scheduled to leave
their docks 1t is more than probable the SER
vice of a tugboat would have been neces-
sary to get them afioat. The steamer Harry
Randall scheduled to leave here at o. clock
yesterday afternoon. was aground In her
dock an hour before sailing time and her
engines could not move her. The services
of government tug were secured and the
steamer was pulled out of the dock and
berthed at the outer end of the pier She
left for the lower river on time.
The big naval monitor Puritan lying at
her anchorage, was aground her entire
length, on the channel bank In the harbor
The river channel. the entire length of the
river, was well defined, as all the mud flats
were bare, and were rapidly died of by
the wind, and the steamers haa considerable
difficulty in making many of the regular
landings owing to the shoal water.
All shipments OF live stock for river
points had to be refused by the steamboat
companies, as 1t was impossible to get the
stock either on or on the steamer. and on
the ferryboats between this city and ALEX
andria the floating platforms connecting
the boat with the shore were at such a steep
grade that teams had to be refused and
only passengers were carried the greater
portion of the day.
The steamer Esteiie Randall was unable
to land at Guuston wharf owing 10 the low
water, aud her mail had to be sent ashore
IN a small boat. While the tide Is low to-

body blows being especially powerful. Only
once did Tenny appear to have a chance
This was in the seventh round, when after
a furious rally, in which he was being
badly worsted, Tenny caught Neil on the
jaw with right swing that sent him al
most to the ropes. He took the count, but
on regaining his feet his head cleared and
he succeeded in evening matters.
The eleventh saw the beginning of the
planting his left to the body and jaw with
last round Tenny suffered such punish
ment as has seldom been administered to
a pugilist in the local ring. Neil started
the round with terrific left body smash
that sent TeEny reelng against the ropes
Another blow similarly applied sent Tenny
to the floor for the count of nine. He got
up groggy and Neil raining blow after
blow on his helpless antagonist, finally
sent Tenny to the floor from a succession
of left body and face blows. Tenny re-
NAMED down until Referee Roche counted
him out. He was in bad shape, and pre-
scented a pitiabIe sight as he was carried
to his corner. where his handlers worked
on him for several minutes to round MIN
into shape.
Neil escaped without q mark. He an
rNounced that ne would at once challenge
Jim Bowker. the English champion, who
got a decision over him in London year
ago.
Neil was favorite In the betting at odds
of 10 to s. The lads fought at 40 pounds

REMOVAL FROM CHICAGO

Base Ball Notes.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The much-dis-
cussed question as to whether the headquar-
tiers of the American Base Ball League
should remain in Chicago or be removed to
New York is in fair way of solution. and
81 need not surprise club officials or others
directly interested in that organization II
change of base were made either Defore
or shortly after the coming championship
season has begun. President Johnson IL
IS known. is more favorably disposed to
coming here than he ever has been, ana
this present feeling was brought about
by the favorable expression of club own
ers especially those in the east, who at
tended the late melting of the league In
the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
According to President Johnson's notion
New York, in Its commercial relations. is
unquestionably the greatest distributing
center on this continent, and base ball af-
fairs should be directed from such city.
In base ball sense its geographical loca-
tion does not possess any more advan-
tages than some other places In the
American League circuit, but the fact that
the eastern part of the circuit is made up
of three of the largest cities in the coun-
try-New York Philadelphia and Boston
and the excellent Geographic and trans
portation facilities which New York pos
sesses make this city, according to the
American League leader. an Ideal spot 10
transact the business of the organization.
Another good reason why the American
League headquarters should be located
here is the fact that in the amicable rela-
lions now existing between the two ma
jor leagues matters frequently arise which
instead of being taken to the national
commission might be settled at a con-
ference between Presidents Pulliam and
Johnson. AS 1t is now, with the Ma"
tional League headquarters in New York
and the American League headquarters in
Chicago. the presidents of the two organi-
cations never see each other until a con-
tional commission meeting. which is only
called at the pleasure OF the chairman,
August Hermann of Cincinnati 1t is
had been In close proximity to each other
Presidents Puuiam and Johnson could have
freely conferred, better understanding
would have prevailed
President JohnSon's present intention
10 remove his office to New York is not
the first instance in which he has looked
favoraby upon such a scheme. Early last
year Treasurer Farrell of the Greater New
York club was so certain that the league
leader would come here to stay that he
secured a commodious room adjoining that
of the Greater New Yorks and had painted
on the door Headquarters of the Ameri-
can League" Where President Johnson
will locate when he does come here has
not been determined upon. but 1t is certain
that In short while there will be another
sign on some door in New York office
building which will read ''Headqua rters of
the American League"

Students to Govern.

In regard to the mana cement of athletics
at the Catholic University. an ali-important
matter in itself, it may be said that this
will be left to the students themselves.
Profiting by the experiences of other edu
cational institutions, II is not thought adj
visable for the faculty to have hand in
the administration of athletic affairs.
Though nothing has been said by the au-
thorities of the university in regard to the
matter a usually well informed Catholic
layman told the writer that there seems
to be very we'll grounded opinion nova
days that colleges and universities en-
deayor to use the prowess of regular and
paid scholars for advertising purposes.
And" he continued. Il don't think the
Catholic University intends to try any such
tricks In this enlightened age. More par
tieularly, I believe this athletic movement
will become general al the university and
instead o. a body of men constituting a
team going off on junkets at the expense of
the study hour and the class room. the stu
dents as body will participate in moder-
ate athletic exercises at stated periods. This
would certainly tend to build up a virile
manhood in the entire student body. Other
colleges are doing this same work. and /
am sure 1t would be a fine thing for the
Catholic University to undertake But as
the university is 'youngster,' as academic
institutions go, this will take several years
and considerable money to accomplish, one
of the most needful requisites being a COM
modious and well equipped gymnasium"
1t has been announced that the uniyer-
sity students will meet Saturday and for
mally elect set Of officers for the ath-
ietic association.
A well-known local alumnus of the Catho-
lie University. when appraised of the move
ment to install athletics, stated that he
was sure he voiced the sentiments OF his
fellow-alumni by declaring that once IL was
under way they would be pleased to extend
financial and moral aid to the students. He
was much pleased at the outlook.
