The action Of the police was taken

=. ELEVEN GAMES ARRANGED.
Foot BAH Schedule for Maryland Agri
cultural College Prepared.
Special Dispatch to The ST

COLLEGE PARK. Md. September s.
Next week foot ball practice will begin on
the campus of the Maryland Agricultural
College. just beyond the limits of WASH
ington. A schedule of eleven games has
been prepared by Manager Blair, and it
appears that some hard work will have to
be done If this seasons team is to live up
to the record Of last years eleven, which
had six victories to its credit together
with the championship of the league of
Maryland colleges.
Captain Cooper OF last years team was
honored with reelection. Although
Cooper played his first season on the col
lege eleven last year, he did very creditable
work and showed a constant development.
He has considerable speed, is fair punter
and plays with dashing spirit.
Last years team had to be made entirely
out of green" material. This year four
or five veterans are expected to be in
school Although more heavy and expert
enced players are wished for. the sup
porters of the Agriculturalists are confident
of having a winning team. Fred X. Mel
sen of Washington, a former University of
Nebraska player, who mad charge of last
years eleven, has been secured to coach
again. This in itself is taken a guar
antee of success. Mr. Nielsen believes
that it takes a gentleman to play foot ball.
He is very popular with the players and
has the confidence and respect of students
and faculty alike. He Is close student
of the game and handles his men with
marked executive ability.

ANOTHER RACE ACROSS
THE OCEAN IN 1908

BERLIN, September S-There will be an
other race across the ocean In 1908. The
German emperor Is to offer another trophy.
Since the race last year. which was such a
success. he has been talking Of another
contest, and has thought Of arranging for
a race for next year, but yachtsmen who
have been approached to see If they were
ready for another race have discouraged the
idea of having it SO soon,, and now 1T is
said 1903 has been selected as the time
for the next contest. 1t Is with the idea
of another ocean race that plans have been
made by yachtsmen to have large schooners
built and the one for Edward r. Coleman,
who raced last year irl the Hildegarde, is
said to have been planned with another
ocean race in view. This yacht is to be
100 feet long, and is to be rugged as a three
masted schooner.
Other yachtsmen are planning to build
ocean racers il another trophy is offered
for a race across tho Atlantic. and If the
announcement Is made in time it is expected
that 1t will be even more memorable than
the race last year.
The German emperor Is doing all In his
power to stimulate interest in yachting.
He took great interest in the race for the
Roosevelt cup. and kept posted each day
of the doings Of the boats. Capt. Hebbin-
haus in watching things ON this side on his
behalf and some Of the German yachtsmen
who are to sail in the coming races came
here at the personal request OF the emperor.

THEY FAILED TO
BREAK THE TIE
Ie-Header Played by Cal
vary and Foundry and
Each Wins.

Calvary and Foundry fought for the
championship Of the Sunday School League
yesterday afternoon upon the grounds at
I4th street and Iyderker avenue, and at the
close OF the double header each tenn had
won q contest. and those who had attended
were satisfied that they had received run
fur their money.
The heat was oppressive, and at the close
or the first game man watching the con-
test was seen to reel and fall. Iie was
quickly carried TO patrol box and taken
to a hospital.
In the first contest thesgpp0sing pitchers
were Sheckells of Foundry and j. Syman-
osfd of Calvary, and although the Foundry
pitcher was batted freely he kept the hits
scattered, which saved the game Syman-
oski was invincible to the batters of Foun-
dry until the middle of the contest, when
they piled up their runs on a series or
hunts, none of which went ten feet from
the plate It was a hit-and-run game on
the part Of Foundry, and the tactics won
In the second game Kerr went into pitch
for Calvary, and 1t is recorded IN the nine
innings of play that four hits were secured
on his delivery by Foundry, two of which
were by Nick enney.
Sheckelfs started in to pitch for Foundry,
but after Calvary had batted in five runs
in as many innings he gave way to Hutch
inson, who pitched good ball for the re-
mainder of the contest, which closed Win
Calvary the winner by a score OF q to i.
The members of the Calvary team played
hard tn this last contest to win. Hayden,
Kerr and Lord were hurt, but after short
time each was able to proceed In his posi-
ton.
Prior to the beginning of the contests the
members of the hoard of directors of the
league held a meeting to decide as TO
whether they would allow Kerr to play
upon the Calvary team, but after lengthy
discussion It was decided to raise the order
of suspension, which was stated to have
been put into effect some time ago, anu
allow him to play, so that Calvary could
have the best team possible in the field
The deciding game of the series viii be
played tomorrow afternoon. The scores
follow:

TO PREVENT MISTAKES
IN ANNOUNCING RECORDS

NEW YORK. September $40 prevent
the frequent mistakes made In the an
nouncement OF new records In weight
throwing contests the A. A. y. at its next
meeting Will suggest that a new rule be
passed requiring all officers at athletic
games sanctioned by the national body to
use tested scales for the weighing Of the
discus, shot or hammer. BY this means the
A. A. u. hopes to eliminate the possibility
Of receiving false records.
1t has often happened that after an ath-
letic meet the announcement is made that
one of the contestants broke the world 8
record In the shot-put or hammer or discus
throw, and the same is accepted by the
sport-loving public as true But when IL
comes to an investigation it has happened
nearly as often that the missiles were found
to be below weight or defective in other
respects, and the records were therefore
thrown out. Not that there was any under
handed work, but the weights were weighed
on incorrect scales.
John J. Dolan of the Irish-American Atb-
letic Club has sent to the office of the
chairman of the record committee of the
A. A. U. two weights-one supposed to be
twenty-eight pounds and the other flfty-six
pounds-whch were recently used In compe-
tition An investigation showed that the
twenty-eight-pound one weighs only q
pounds. ID ounces. 1873 grains. and the one
which was used by John Flanagan, sup
posed to weigh fifty-six pounds. weighed
only 50 pounds. ounces. 1851 grains

QUESTION DISCUSSED BY
THE ENGLISH GOLFERS

LONDON, September S-The rapidly in
creasing number of golf players in the an
nual open championship tournaments OF
Great Britain has caused the five clubs that
have been supreme in the control of these
events to send out a circular inviting the
professionals to cooperate with them in
meeting the changed conditions. A system
of qualifying rounds has been suggested.
1t is believed that the pros will de-
clare in favor of qualification rounds In
the different districts. so that the leaders
would gain eligibility to compete in the
final or main contest at seventy-two holes.
On the other hand. the change to the sec
tional qualifying rounds. 1t has been claim
ed. would lessen the interest of the anna
teur. as few amateurs would take the
trouble to engage in a local qualifying
round on the remote chance of securing a
place in the final.
The chief objection to this state of af-
fairs would be that the open championship,
instead of being a representative mingllng
of the best amateur and professional golf
ers. would soner or later become a tourna-
ment almost entirely for professionals.
