IMPORTANCE OF
THE MIDDIES' VICTORY

The decisive victory Of the naval cadet
eight-oared crew bver Columbia last Satur-
day, although not very important of itself
becomes much more so in the light of what
the Coumbians did to the Harvard varsity
the week previous. This Is to be the mid
dies first competition at Poughkeepsie and
their performance, when viewed I'm conjunc-
ton with the Harvard-COlumbi race makes
them to be feared by the other crews which
row on the Hudson. The fear has been
expressed in many quarters that the mid
shipmen would not be able to go the full
distance of four miles, but those who have
seen them in their daily workouts declare
that this is not the case. Coach Glendon
from the time 1t was rumored that An
napolfs would row at Poughkeepsie, has
been working his charges for the longer
race. six and seven miles a day being not
an unusually long spin for them. The mid
dies have shown unusual strength for the
last three years. and If it is true that they
can row the four miles as well as the two
miles. they are certain to finish well I'D at
Poughkeepsie.
There yet remain two dual regattas be-
fore the colegians will have settled down
for the last stage of their prepare ion for
Poughkeepsie and New London races One
race will take place on Memorial day. and
the other the day following. Cornell and
Harvard will row on Lake Cayuga May 30
and on May 81 Wisconsin and Syracuse will
row on Lake Mendoza. Wis. In the former
race Cornell is a big favorte. particularly
after Harvards defeat by Columbia. The
Wisconsin, Syracuse race will be a contest
bet tween son and father Edward Ten Eyck
the son. has been coaching the Wisconsin
crew. while James Ten Eyck the father, is
coaching Syracuse. To make 1t still more
of a family affair. the stroke of the SYRIA
cuse crew is brother of the Wisconsin
coach.

TRAvERS DEFEATS DOUGLAS

NEW YORK. May 25.-Jerome D. Trav-

feating Findlay 8. Douglas. former ma
tional champion. by UP and to play.
They met in the final round Of thirty-six
holes at the Nassau County Club links,
which ended the annual championship tour
nament Of the Mems Metropolitan Golf AS
ISOLATION. The fact that Douglas had de-
feated Fred Herreshoff yesterday afternoon
after the young Yale player had scored a
decisive win over Walter ]. Travis led
many to believe that Douglas would be
able to hold his own against Travers. The
latter. however played up to his best form
and won without apparent effort. At the
turn in the morning round Travers was 1
up. He then began to play keen golf. and
finished up on the first eighteen holes
Douglas showed a fash of brilliance Of
the outset of the afternoon round. winning
the first hole in 3 to 4. But after this Tray
ers played in par figures. the same kind of
golf by which Herreshoff won from Travis
yesterday. He simply carried Douglas of

BATTING OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
Technical Had Five of the Ten
Players That Hit Over 800
and Western Two.

1t can easily be seen by the batting aver
ages that follow why it was that the
Western and Technical base ball teams
were the two teams to fight it out for the
championship, as Of the ten batters in or
over the 300 class, Technical has five,
Western two, Business two and Eastern
one. Donovan Of Business holds top hon
ors, with percentage of 500, but as he
has participated in but two games the hon
ors must go to Capt. Michael Of Western,
who has played in all four games Of the
series and has clouted the ball for total
Of eight hits out of seventeen times at the
bat. for percentage of 40. The next
best is Chaplin of the Technical team, who
hit for .461 The only man in this class
for Eastern is Martin, the sturdy little
catcher, who is seven points to the good
in the 300 class.

GREATEST DISTANCE RUNNER

NEW YORK. May 25.-Alfred Shrubb,
| the greatest distance runner in the world.
who landed In New York recently, had his
| first workout at Celtic Park 1t was the
| first chance the local experts had to look
| over the English flyer. and they were
amazed. Shrubb is not the tall, 1.-the
| limbed athlete one would expect to see as
| a champion distance runner. He appears
to be about five feet seven inches in height
much shorter than Bonhag and Long
| boat-yet his records are better than theirs
! at every distance.
The Engishman, when running. does
not show as pretty style as the average
American distance champion. You are i'm
| pressed. first of all. by the wonderful
snap in his action. Instead of the long
| lope Shrubb uses a fast stride. and his arm
action is more that Of sprnter than
| that Of the average distance runner
In running a distance race the average
athlete maintains an even gait all the way.
| Not with Shrubb, however. He is just
| as liable to let out hundred-yard sprint
| In the middle of a race as not in fact that
is his favOrite way of worrying and wear
ing out opponent. Without warning he
will dash away and gain twenty-five yards
over his rivals in a hundred. Slowly they
will close on him again until they have al
| most reached his shoulder, but the in
slant Shrubb sees shadow on the path
behind him he is off again like a scared
rabbit This trick repeated few times
takes the heart out of the best of them
AS an amateur Shrubb beat everything
In sight. Not pretending to be at his best
under TWO miles. he has, nevertheless. done
his mile yard worse than 4lG 40. His
two miles in 900 81 is regarded as the

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

The games scheduled for this week are:
Monday. Government Printing Office vs.
Atlantics: Tuesday. Aloysius VS.. Southern
Railway: Wednesday, Columbia Athletic
Club VS.. ST. Stephens: Thursday. holiday;
Friday, Southern Railway vs. Atlantics.
and Saturday Columbia Athletic Club VS..
ST. Stephens.
Attention is called to the fact that there
will not be game on May 30. Decoration
day.
At a recent meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the league it was proposed to
build another grand stand, it's location to
be along the first base line. The present
construction, although one of the largest
of Its kind in the amateur leagues, does
not accommodate the large number that
clamors for a seat at every game.
The election of Mr.. Ross Blosser to the
vice presidency of the league was received
favorably on all sides. Mr.. Blosser has
been ever willing to give his services for
the welfare of the league.
The result Of the games played by the
Nationals is announced at the grounds
each day and the task falls to the lot Of
Umpire Handiboe. Just after the announce
men one afternoon last week, while Mr..
Handiboe was taking his position behind
the batter, one of the fans in the stand in-
quired In very modest manner II the
!'Cmp" had the result Of the first race.
The remark caused much laughter for a
time. Mr. Handiboe replied that ice cream
and cake would be served on Tuesdays
and Fridays.
The opinions Of many must have taken
a sudden change last Thursday, when Gov
eminent Printing Office walloped St.
Stephens to the tune Of to g. 1t was
doped out by many that the team was a
dead one, but judging from the article Of
ball it put up in the game referred to they
will have to be reckoned with In good
many more games. If Mr.. FOrden. man
ager of the team, can hold that lineup to-
gether he certainly will have good pros
poets.
The old saying, They all get their
bumps" referring to the slabmen. certainly
proved true when the Government Print
ing Office team hammered Jimmie Kerrs
delivery for thirteen safetes, some of which
were for extra bases. The big fellow has
worked in three games prior to the Printing
Office game and has won two of them and
figured conspicuously in that st. Stephens
AlOysiuS game, which resulted in neither
side getting run.
Government Printing Office has a good
man in Scott. who covered the initial sack
in the ST Stephens game. He-is a giant
In stature and hits the ball with consider
able force. He is also well placed the
team.
Manager O'ConnoF of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club played part of game last week.
owing to the injury to one OF his players.
and hit out a neat single which was met
with hearty applause. This Is not a rare
occurrence for Mr. O'Connor-he never fails
10 get eight or nine hits game.

Absinthe NORWOOD Of the Vision.
From the London Globe.


The Domain publishes a letter from a
correspondent who in the cause of temper
ance, cites a great authority-St. John the
Evangelist. It is claimed that the in
spired writer proclaims absinthe as a ter
rible scourge, and foretelSs it's baneful
powers in the eighth chapter of the book
of Revelation, where We read in verses 10
and II: THE third angel sounded a trum-
pet, and big star bright as a lamp fell
from the sky on to the third part of
the rivers and fountains and water. This
star was called NORWOOD, and the third
part of the waters were changed, and
many men died of thirst because they
were bitter NORWOOD in the English
authorized version is rendered "absinthe'
in the French translation of the New TeS-
lament. A Paris contemporary comment
ing on the letter, expresses the opinion
that the chamber will more likely be In
fluenced by the necessities of the budget
than the warning contained in the vision
Of the evangelist

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE NOTES,

IeMat of the r; I. NJ, team is 1acing the ball
out with regularity that spells doom for some of
the twirl+rs before the end of the season.
Evans. third baseman for Ninth. made three runs
and three hits in the game with the X. L. II
Wednesday.
BroOme, shortstOp for Ninth. is batting well this
season. He made three safe ones in the game
Thursday
A. Zannclli OF Bethany made the two Dagger that
Won the hard uphill game the Bloomingdale boys
Iaayed against the Waugh team recently He is
another batter OF the Harry Zannelli type.
Rider made three safe hits off Ltchfed's side
wheel delivery Thursday.
Five outs and assist made by Barnhart
the Bloomingdale player, second for Bethany
Friday.
BY defeating the Bethany team Friday for the
second time this year, First has apparently shown
that IL is entitled to first pace-at least, for the
time being. Bethany has strong team, and the
main fault in their losing seems to be that they
shift their about much thus breaking
into what teamwork the team has built up.
The fourth week of the Sunday School League is
over and the league Is four times as good as when
the first contest played So II seems that this
organization Is despite all predictions to
the contrary.
