TENNIS.

The past year has seen many changes
IN the tennis world Of Washington. IN
fact, there is only one fact that remains
undisputed when you look back upon
the close OF the season q year ago. And
that is Conrad B. Doyle still is the un-
disputed champion of the District OF
Columbia.
1t is true that he was hard pushed in
the final round Of the tournament held
here for the championship Of the Middle
Atlantic States last May by Richard
Hooker. But Hooker IS by rights New
England player. In the tournament for
the championship OF the District held
this fall, Doyle had no difnculty what
ever IN retaining his title, although
Geoghegan was in good form. But Doyle
still stands in a class by himself here.
The fact that the Bachelors Tennis
Club has been compelled 70 abandon its
old quarters. on NJ street. will mean
much to the men in washington who are
most interested IN tennis True. the
standard OF play at the Bachelors Club
has not been so high the past year as il
was Two or three years ago, which IS
due in part TO the fact that such old
timers as Davidson and Glazebrook
have dropped out and that other men
have moved away from W washington.
But in spite of this, the Bachelors Club
has been the CHIEF tennis center OF tho
city during the past year. The future OF
the club depends largely upon whether or
not II is able to find suitable quarters.

tournament during the summer. and IL

encouragement TO the sport. =

No Changes Wanted.

College football got a tremendous
boost in Washington in 1905, because Of
the games between Virginia and George
town. Virginia and George Washington
University, and Georgetown and George
Washington.
The restoration OF athletics between
Georgetown and Virginia has long been
desired by the cooler heads of both col
ieges and the public at large. With
each claiming the championship of the
eastern and northern .jOuth, il was an
unsatisfactory arran cement 10 have
them finish each season without meet

that they get together and play an an
nual game For burying the haIchet

Because Of the stupidity and brainless
Indifference Of the football management
at Georgtown the early games OF that
team did not attract their proper at
tention this season and the athletic

of "A little human intelligence in the

FIELD AND TRACK.

Field and track games in 1906 expert
enced the most remarkably successful
season IN the history of the snort In
Washington. More indoor and outdoor
meets were held during the past year
than ever before
The largest event. in name at least.
was the South Atlantic Championship
meet. IN the spring, at Bennlng. II
cannot be said that this affair was
the big success that had been hoped
for the weather had been threatening
all day, and just after the first few
events had been run off. a thunder storm
put a temporary end to the proceed
ings. After the rain. the meet went on
but under difficulties. However. not
withstanding this, it was a boom for
the sport merely to have had the cham
pionship games here. Perhaps the most
noticeable effect was that Washington
lans were given the opportunity 10 ap-
preCiate the true worth of field and
track sports 10 young men, and Incl
dentally greatly evidenced the city's
need of a field for holdtn~ such out
door contests.
Big Indoor Meets.
The High Schoo! indoor meet of Feb
ruary %. had q record breaking entry
list. The most noteworthy event of
this annual fixture was the defeat OF
the University of Virginia's two-mile
relay team for the championship Of the
South, by George Washington, the lat
ter having lost to the Charlottesville
four in one-mile row in Richmond a
few weeks before
Central High carried off the honors
among the preparatory and high schools.

thing greatly deplOred was the fact that
these two local Institutions did not

Washington organization to do we'll in
this line. Not only did the club send
teams to meets held at Richmond, Nor

many prizes. but il instituted what is
hoped to be an annual indoor meet of
its own. The meeet held by the Wash

affair, was but another step toward
placing Washington IN the front rank
OF other cities in this respect.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

The honOrs on the scholastic football
field again went to Western High
School. With Eastern and business
out of the league because of the lack
Of material, the three remaining-West-
ern. Central. and Technical-had to
fight il out alone
During the early part of the season
there was practically no way for the
dOpesters to pick the winner. as had
been the case in former years. when it
was possible 10 get n fairly definite
idea of the comparative strength by the
results of the games with the weaker
elevens. Only after Technical defeated
the Army and Navy preps by to 3,
and Central lost to the same team by
to could a line be gotten on the
schools. However. these games por-
tended little in picking the stronger
team, as was shown a month or so
later. first. because of the different
weather conditions under which each
was played and, second, because the
personnel of each team was consider
ably changed.
one thing alone was certain. that
Western had light, inexperienced ma
terial. Technical met the Red and
White before the latter had half
chance 10 develop and, as was TO have
been expected, had little trouble de-
featlng Western by a large score.
Western Jars the Critics.
Then came the charges of profession
alism against Capt. Angus Macdonald.

weeks or more before he was cleared
and the date for the postponed game
set. Central proved superior TO Tech

doing her scoring in the last.
A week later the biggest surprise of
the year came when Centrals over

the efficient services of Thomas Kirby,
who had coached the same school into
the championship in 1905 Central was
beaten by to 0 by a field goal in the
first half, and was outplayed In the sec
Ond The result Of this contest tied all
three teams for the championship, but
since Western had not lost the title
and right OF ownership of the Prince
ton Alumni trophy, the emblem was
presented TO the midget gridirOn war
riors from Georgetown for the second
successive time.

BASKETBALL.

The most notable feature Of 1906 in
Washington basketball was the whole
sale desertion Of players from the anna
teur to the professional ranks and the
formation OF the Greater Washington
Professional League. comprising four
teams. at the opening Of the fail season
The players come from the Washington,
Light Infantry, and Eastern Athletic
clubs. which started the professional
game in Washington, and from other
clubs.
The league at present is made up of
the OrdWays, Commissioners. Infantry.
and Eastern A. C. end at the end Of
the half season, which is just over,
finished in the order named after a neck
and-neck race with the frst two tied
for first place. The games will begin
again in January.
Next TO Importance 10 the forming OF
the professional league was the announce
ment recently published in The Times
that both Georgetown and George Wash
ington would have teams in the field at
an early date and that already the man
ayers of the respective institutions are
arranging a schedule with other colleges.
notably the University of Virginia and
ANNAPOLIS This is the first year that
either college has paid any attention to
this popular indoor sport, and is more
proof of the great boom that the sport
is experiencing in the District.
Amateurs Hold Their Own.
Besides the increase in the large num-
Der of Independent teams about the city

so, and claim the championship of the
world in this or that weight. the in
terest in the Washington City League,

Washington. has grown to marked de-
gree. At the finish of the season of 1906
O6 the Ordway Rifles, under the manage
ment Of Sergeant Robbins, of the Dis
trict National Guard, walked away with
the title. With the exception of one or
two men they are now playing under
the name of the Ordways in the pro-
fassional league. The Ordways won all
the nineteen league games, besides four
which they took in Baltimore. The Y.
NJ c. =. was second, losing but the two
games. which were played with the
champions The CAROLS, Columbia, and
Epiphany Chapel. finished in the order
named The COrcOran Cadets, which
for a long time had captured first hon

year and did credtable work In Balti-
more, New York, Connecticut, York,
Pa and elsewhere in the North, win
ming the majority of the games.
1t was the first time that Washing

and IL proved such a decided success
that the Second Regiment f1ve. led by
Cap. G. Il. Edwards. viii IN a few days

contests have been played. The teams

Then came the big surprise-the alb

On the dope, on appearances and every
thing else. @. W. l. seemed to have
the best chance IL had ever had 10 trim
Georgetown. and there was much bet
ting that the trick would be turned.
The result was a Georgetown victory
by l6 to g. The @. W. u. had neither
nerve nor stamina. and certain men
notably Sutton. curled up a soon as the
fray began. Also, Coach Joe Reilly
had driven the new rules into his team

plays. ably directed by Captain BOcock
were largely responsible for q. W. L. :

Among other important games George
town defeated North Carolina at Nor
folk by to o. BOcOck kicking a field
goal, and George Washington University
held SwarthmOre down to II 70 q in

New Rules Great Success.
The new rules were an unqualified sue
cess IN Washington. First attracting
attention as cuTiosities, they made an
imn ediate hit with the public. In al
most esS--. game played IN Washing
ton the team whose coach was gifted
with sufficient brains 10 take advantage
of the possibilities OF the new code was
the winner. Only very minor changes
II any. are wanted by the Washington
public or football players.
Georgetown schedule in 1906 was
lighter than it has been for some years
while that Of George Washington was
more pretenuOns than IL has ever beer
before. Both teams are arranging sched
ules for next season which are more
pretenuous than that OF the past sea

PIGEON FLYING.

a large attendance marked the sew
enteenth annual meeting of the Wash
ingtOn District OF the American Fedora
ti0n of Homing Pigeon Fanciers, which
was held at its headquarters on De-
cembeT q. The officers elected for the
ensuing year were: President II. A.
HeTfurth: first vice president. Alexan-
der Balm; second vice president. John
Holmead; secretary-treasurer W. T.
Dismer; race committee. w. F. Dis
mer. chairman, and Messrs. Herfurth
and Dove. Neither socially nor for the
good work Of the birds can any pre-
vious year in Washington pigeon flying
compare with the one just coming to a
close. Known and hOnOTed in every sec
ton of this country, Canada, and Cuba,
wherever a homing pigeon club exists.
the reputation OF the Washington fanci-
ers has been steadily advancing. Sew
enty per cent OF its membership are vet
eran pigeon flyers who have success
fully flown birds for years, and in this
respect have no equal. The records made
by Messrs- AshW0rJh, Dismer brothers,
Donath Dove, Greenwood. Johnstone,
krOuse. Mclean, Noble, Norwood. Nye,
and Toy have been published since 1898,
and the prospects are that not only this
excellent array Of flyers, but Messrs.
Balm. Herfurth. Holmead, Clements,
and Fairbanks will continue to uphold
the prestige OF the washington district
for many years to come.
Keen Competition.
The competition in 1896 was keen in
the highest degree. Diplomas were
quite evenly distributed and won by
narrow margins. and while no new rec
oTds were created. the races in general
were fast
The climax OF the seasons work was
the entertaining Of the National Fed
Grafton, which took place on December
IL. Not since the formation of the na-
tiOnaI body in 1856 has there been SC
many cities represented at an annual
meeting.
The further limiting OF the number
OF birds eligible on a racing team will
further improve the quality OF the racers
IN 1907. The owners are now anxious
for the opening of the racing season,
and are eagerly waiting the coming of

Dear Sir: No matter what your ideas about paint and painting may be, whether you believe in nothing 50 good as paint and oil, 50r have some mixed paint that you think is the best, here's d little story that may teach you something.
 Henry Kirch, of MaZomanie, Wis was told by his painter that he would need II gallons of Devoe lead -and-Zine Paint to do good job on his house. The painter evidently had lead and oil or some mixed paint in mind
 MT. Kirch bought four gallons of the color he wanted, which was all that II LappleY, the dealer, had on hand and wired to us for the other ten gal Ions. When the job was finished they counted six gallons left over: took them back to the dealer. They're all wondering how it happened.
