LIE DROIT CLUB WINS.
Defeats Bachelors In Tennis by Five
Matches to Four.

Before a small gallery the team of the
LeDroit Tennis Club triumphed over that
Of the Bachelos' Lawn Tennis Club in the
six single and three double matches, played
upon the courts of the latter organization
at 18th and NJ streets northwest yesterday
afternoon The score was five to four.
In the singles the LeDroit team overturned
the hopes of the Bachelors by winning
four out of the six events. In the doubles
the Bachelors won two Of the three
matches, and if Hyatt and Colliere in the
last event could have beaten Claudy and
Wells the Bachelors would still have been
the winners, but they were unable to
land the honor of beating the LeDroits in
the deciding match Of the day
The courts were in good condition, but
at the start Geogheg an of the LeDrOits beat
Cake of the Bachelors after a hard battle
Geoghegan took the first Set 6-3 The second
set went to his Opponant by 40. and in the
third battle royal was fought out with the
LeDroit man the winner by Go. l.. Doy1ede-

test.
Three sets were played. Ballenger taking
the first. Leech the second and Ballenger
the final and deciding set Of the three.

HOW DANIELS FAILED
TO WIN HIS RACE

NEW YORK. September 1.-THE particu-
lars Of the 300 yard swimming race for the
championship OF the world have Just come
by mail from England and 1t will be graft
fying to all good American followers or
aquatic sports to hear that g. NJ. Daniels
or the n Y A. c. really won this event,
hut lost the decision on mere technicality.
According to an eyewitness of the contest
Daniels swan a great race for the first hun
dred Yards of the course, and at the CEN
fury mark led his nearest competitor by
fully eight feet. After this he seemed TO
become rather distressed and was splashing
badly toward the end. In the last ten
wards De Kalmay and Radmilovic closed
RAPIDLY on him, but did not beat him to the
line as the cable from abroad led us to be-
lieve.
The pool at Weston-super-mer is 100 feet
long so that for the furlong the contest
ants swan 1t six times and then had sixty
more feet to go. This finish line was
marked by horizontal pole which the men
had to touch to be counted out. Unluckily
for Daniels the pole was some distance
above the surface, and as he came up to 1t
ahead of the field his hand missed II, and
IL was not until his shoulder went over the
line that he could touch II. OF course the
Judges could not count him finished until
some part of his body had come In contact
with the pole, and before this occurred
both Hallway and Radmilvoic though be-
hind Daniels. were able to touch out and
were awarded first and second. The young
champion was played out at the finish and
said he had not felt In the best OF condition
for several days.

FOOT BALL TO BE
MUCH FASTER THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, September 14.-CoIege foot
ball this season promises to produce the
fastest game ever seen on the gridiron.
The new rules uccessfully stood the test
Of last year and the masters of the game
have wisely made the two changes which
were necessary. Ten minutes have been
added to the playing time-each half now
being 35 minutes long-and the possibilities
Of the forward pass, so popular with spec
tators have been increased by making the
play less risky to use the first and Sec
ond downs. Ins stead Of losing the ball In
case the forward pass strikes the ground
before striking a player of either SIDE the
same side now retains possession of the
ball. but loses fifteen yards When the for
ward pass is essayed on the third down,
however and 1t strikes the ground without
striking a player, or IS otherwise made
Illegally. the ball must be surrendered to
the other side as was the case last season.
Lengthening the game 10 minutes Is I'M
doubleday a good thing, because 1t gives
team better opportunity to work out Its
campaign Lack Of time last year prevented
several elevens from doing the little bit
more necessary to prevent tie after the
weakest point in the defense Of their oppo-
nents had been discovered. and the best
There Is no denying the fact that the team
capable of altering its system Of play should
have the limit of time In which to carry
out its complete program.
The forward pass will probably be the
most popular play of the year. No team last
year, unless 1t had a man who was very
accurate in passing the ball, cared to take
any chances with the innovation. The play
ers liked 1t, but they were afraid Of 1t.
Rather than make a mess Of the play and
lose the ball they fell back on the old game.
But things are changed now. because the
possibility Of making twenty or thirty
yards, or possibly touchdown, with the
long pass will make the loss of fifteen yards.
should the play go Wild on the first or sec
ond down, look very small. Then. again.
MANY men behind the line who were not
very successful in making the pass last year
should be capable Of handling 1t this year
and approach the splendid achievements
of Halfback Veeder of Yale. who was peer
In this department of the game In 1905
Another change which will stop much ar
eument permits lineman to carry the ball.
provided he does not leave his position on
the line until the ball is put In play. Ths
ten-yard rule Is preserved exactly as be-
fore having met with almost general APP
prevail in that 1t made far less effective
anything like mass plays, and forced the
open play, which everybody so much de-
sired.

In a very interesting game OF base ball
the Petworth nine met defeat at the hands
OF the team from the printing shop of
George Hass at PetwOrth yesterday after
noon in a seven-inning contest, the score
being 2 to l.
George Yauchler was on the rubber for
the printers. and pitched good ball. His
opponent. Clayton, also pitched good
game. The fielding OF both teams made the
score a very small one. Harold Yauchler
did the receiving for the ink handlers and
caught an errorless game. His batting was
the feature of the contest. He made four
trips to the plate and hit the sphere twice
for four sacks. scoring tho only runs made
by his side. The Petworth boys scored
