Waldemar Sand will row against

Saturday evening or Tuesday.
Sand accepted Davis challenge early
in the week, but the place was not set
tied until Carl Mueller. captain Of the
Potomac Club, received communica-
ton from the German sculler late yes
terday evening in which Sand agreed
to race here under the conditions named
by the Washington club officials. He
is expected to arrive here this afternoon
and tne promoters hope he will consent
TO race tomorrow. This IS doubtful,
however. since he viii compete In shell

afternoon The place will be the old
Potomac course, starting at the Little
Sisters and finishing at Aqueduct bridge.

officials have not yet been decided. AZ

be given the visiting oarsman by the
officials of the Potomac club.
Sand, in accepting the conditions laid
down by the challenger, said that he
was anxious 10 row against Davis again
because of the foul which handicapped
the Washington Oarsman when he came
in behind Sand, who finished sec

The Trinity-Treasury game al Ma
tionaI Park yesterday was not marked
by any extraordinary brilliancy, or even
the average consistency which the anna
teurs have displayed in the post-season
series.
For all that, the grandstand finish.
when Trinity. after drawing goose eggs
for six sessions, got busy in the seYenth
and brought in five runs. and incl
dentaIIy tied the score, was enough 20
make the price OF admission worth
while Treasury worked hard and fast
for two innings to redeem the game
that II rightfuny won, but the tie
stands. and Marquette likewise remains
at the top Of the championship night
with a record OF three won, yesterday s
tie, and no losses.
Donaldson and Clark we're the OpPOs-
Ing slabmen. and both put up creditable
performances, although they didn't re-
ceive a full share Of notice, because of
the ragged support rendered both
pitchers. TreasUry's success in polling
runs IN the early innings was the direct
result of some of its seven errors.
Heinrich achieved three, and Salb, al
though he IS credited with but two, put
up equally costly performances. 10th

Mccarthy was the star offender for
Treasury. He made q mistake IN the
seventh which opened the way for the
rally that tied I'D the game In justice
TO all these feeders IL must be said that
they were considerably bothered by the
Fun-such was especially the CASE with
SaIb at center.
In the opener. with two down, Bic

error, and crossed the plate when Salb

! The fifth and last tally Was acquired in

with another triple Clark was master
OF tbs situation, and Donaldsoa failed
