suited In the score Of % to IL In favor of
Columbia. Although the score was large

WHEN THE CREIGHTONS
WERE THE CHAMPIONS

Say, l have talked to you q good deal
about the old National team of forty years
ago." remarked Old Timer to a Star repre-
sentative as he stood bareheaded in the
rain Wednesday watching the posting Of
the Detroit Washington SERIES There was
lull as the crayon artist chalked up an
inning, and then: But for downright fire
and excitement around these diggings the
games between the two local junior organi-
ADMINISTRATION and Junior Nationals
surpassed anything ever seen hereabouts in
athletic affairs. The city was about equally
divided In its support Of the two organiza-
tons, and the fans were as hot in their dis
cussions Of the merits of the teams as one
would experience in a hot political sQuab
Bile. There was always a discussion on
foot. and often these discussions ended In a
high wager or perhaps broken head. Both
teams were made up Of strong players. the
Junior Nationals having such as Johnny
Hollingshead, Eckie Stems, Charley Lusk,
Babe" Trott, Sadie Houck. Paul Hines,
"Ock" Bielaski, George Byington, Billy
Lake. Charley Witherow and John Lowry.
while the Creightons had Charley Snyder.
Bill Jennings, Johnny Greason. Joe Ger
hardt, Johnnie Doyle. Howard Wall Baa-
Ed Nichols and others, who. in the major
ity Of cases, drifted into professional ball
playing and made national fame as such.
Harry Cavanaugh and Henry B. Bennett
managed the Nationals, while Michael
Scanlon looked after the Creightons, the
former playing at 10Th and streets and
the latter clinging to the White Lot.
There was no professional team here In
1876 and 1871 and these two organizations
took up the burden of furnishing the sport
for the city. Did they do it? Well. If you
doubt my story go down and ask Michael
Scanlon and get his idea of those halcyon
days. They had the city by the throat;
everything was swept by the excitement of

FOR
THE BIG REGATTA

The members Of the Potomac river re-
gatta COMMITTEES who are acting as spon-
sors for the Middle States regatta are
bending every effort TO set things in ship
shape before the final rush comes two
weeks hence. and they are confident that
everything win be in order. Every minor
detail Is being worked out and nothing will
be left undone to see that proper protection
Is given the course, and at the same time
add to the comfort OF spectators. especially
those who will congregate on the river In
steam, sail or row boats. As is we'll known,
the Department of Commerce and Labor
will have several of the revenue cutter
vessels up here to look after the incoming
and outgoing vessels and will, during the
present week. issue a circular laying down
the rules and regulations of the same. They
will be assisted in their work by Major
Sylvester and his harbor fiotilla. the Wig
liant being anchored at the finish. and all
vii have to keep In line suffer arrest.
1t rs proposed to drive stakes along the
edge of the Virginia side of the river at
intervals of fifty feet for a distance of six
hundred feet up stream to which rope
will be attached and run the entire dis
lance. The spectators in boats must keep
inside the rope-that Is, between the island
shore and the rope-a feature that Is fol-
lowed at Henley in England with perfec,
success, as there is yet a case to be record
ed where a boat has ever interfered there
with a race in progress. This rope will be
so taut that small craft, such as outrig-
gers and canoes. may safely tie up to it
and thereby keep a good. position during
the races.
One thing next to the lack of finances.
that is worrying the committee is the fact
that the Navy Department has not yet as
signed a torpedo boat for the regatta, as
it has done in years past The committee
will wait on the Navy Department officials
this week. and they hope to have the mat
ter arranged The recent disaster to the
Georgetown University boat house and
