Just how much manager on the

There is wide difference between

soaked Eddie in the Stats.
1t wasn't a bad hurt by any means: just
an ordinary swat, that leaves a red mark,

GOOD PROSPECTS AT CORNELL.
Only Three Places Not Filled by the
1906 Veterans

ITHACA, y. Y, September 21.-The foot
ball practice of the Cornell eleven began
on the nth, and the Ithacans have the
best prospects that any Cornell team has
had in a number of years. With a new
system of coaching, and only three places
which are not filed by veterans of the
1906 aggregation, there appears to be no
reason why the Cornell eleven this year
should not be better than that OF last sea-
son. There is good material in last year $
freshman class. and, if the change IN the
coaching system does the good that is ex-
pected of 1t, the team should know more
foot ball and be faster aggregation than
it was last year.
There are but three places which Will not
be filled by the men who played there last
year Gibson, left halfback, and Newman

reached this city few days ago that
Jameson, the little quarterback of last
years team, had died Of typhoid fever dur
ing the vacation. Except for there three

on the eleven. The permanent coaching
staff for this season will consist of Henry

POTOMACS' NEW HOME.
Hopes Expressed of Beginning Work
by December l.

The Potomac Boat Club has gone out Of
commission for the present season, as 1t
relinquished it's lease on the Georgetown
University boathouse last Monday. stored
its belongings in the large adjacent ware
house and hence, for the time being, is
without d home.
The building committee at a meeting
Wednesday evening requested a firm of
architects to submit drawings for the new
building with the estimated cost of a con-
crete. wooden or brick building. with every
modern appliance. The committee is anx-
ious to begin work by December /, so that
everything will be in readiness for opening
the new home early in March or by April
at the latest. When the work is started
there will be no delays. but it will be
pushed right along during the winter and
crews will be training there in time for the
spring regattas.
The Potomac Boat Club intends to make
bid for holding the Middle States re-
gatta here next year This much was de-
cided at the meeting VI nesday night The
prospects are that the 7c.tional regatta will
go again TO the Schuylkill river next year.
the navy of that region is going to make
Il fight to secure it, and as Washington Will
support Philadelphia in such a move it in
turn VIII support the POTOMAC river for
the Middle States.
Since Davis achieved such an easy victory
over Sand. the German sculler, there has
been quite a controversy as to who is the
fastest man on the river, Daily. German
Herman or Davis. Several enthus asts
stand willing TO offer a handsome medal for
a race between the four named to take
place not later than October % Such d
race would prove decidedly interesting to
the host of admirers of the four scullers
and would attract a large crowd.
Manager Wood of the Georgetown Uni
Versity crews does not take much stock in
the report that the Georgetown crew will
not row at Poughkeepsie next year He
says such yarns periodically appear. and
yet Georgetown regularly shows up at the
regatta. and will do the same thing in
1898. The annual class race in November
Will be the feature for the present, as from
them Coach Murray Russell and others will
get candidates for next season. The uni
verSity boathouse is in better shape now
than ever, as the Potomacs installed many
improvements which will help make the
place coy and habitable 1t is expected
that the launch Robert Collier will arrive
from New York early in October.

Gehring in Argument.

Several members of the Washington club
got into an argument out at the grounds the
other morning about religion. which finally
shifted to the subject of spiritualism.
This subject caused much discussion, and
was argued pro and con by the boys with
some degree of animation, and the crowd
was getting real "het up" over the argu-
ment when Manager Cantillon said:
IT'S no use of you fellows arguing about
something you know nothing about but
can tell you all that there has been no man
who ever left this earth and who came back
again.

Shipke continues to do sensational work
around the third corne~ and is doing better
at the bat. having increased his average

playing a great game at first base, and is in
the game from start to finish and is batting
much better since occupying that position.

When the Chicago champs were last at

one evening when in response to Charley
Hickman's request for toothpicks the man
who was waiting on the table brought over
to Hick a whole jar full of the little bits OF
wood.
In selecting one Hicks attention was at
tracted by the fact of the manufacturer s
name being the toothpick, and when he
examined the others he found the same
name impressed on all Of them.
Calling the attention of the other members
of the team to the fact. Charley said:
Il cannot understand how the fellow who
puts these things up can afford to have his
name stamped on each and every one of
them"
Il don't see how he does it myself" cried
Altrock. as he critically examined the little
piece of wood in his hand. but I'll bet,"
continued Nick. that he is a conceited sort
of guy
What makes you think so?" asked Zoe
White.

having his autograph each toothptcE
shows that he is dead stuck on having his
