PoToMACs' NEW HOME.
Plans for the Interior Have Been
Adopted,

The plans for the new boathouse of the
Potomac Club are being designed and ar
ranged by the architects. Messrs. A. B..
Mullett & Co.. and while it has not yet
been decided as to the outer appe arance,
whether the material will be stone or con-
crete. reinforced or block. the design for
the interior has been adopted by the build
ing committee. The architects have In
spected some Of the best lighthouses in
America. and they expect. when they finish
this structure. to turn over to the
Potomacs one of the most complete build
ings Of It's kind ever constructed on the
side Of river.
The entire lower floor will be used for
the slowing Of boats of all kinds, Shells
pleasure. canoes and motor, and there will
be more real space for such purposes than
in their old home. On this floor also will
be the plunge baths, washrooms. showers
and toilets for members. thereby keeping
from the upper stories the damage that
always follows from leaks and other
effects in the Mushrooms. This Is a
radical departure from the architecture
of all modern lighthouses, and 1t is ex-
pected to be followed by all in the future
The second floor will be the main one for
guests. as 1t will contain the ballroom
40x6O. embellished and decorated In the
most artistic manner possible, and reach
eQ Dy d RTdHO stairway ITUIu lTS ldul6S
reception room. which Is on the third floor
In the rear of the ballroom will be the
members locker rooms the lockers to be
made of steel with open facing. and will
number nearly 200. There will be toilet
rooms adjacent to the ballroom for ladies',
as well as Mushrooms, etc, in the locker
rooms of members.
The third floor will have the ladies' re-
ceptton room. the billiard room. the men 8
courtroom and the lounging room for
members and guests during dances and
other entertainments. The board of gov
errors room will also be on this floor,
and this cosy Office will also be used for
the hanging of banners and the shelving
of cups, won in the past by crews Of the
club.
The project Is to have the main entrance
in the bird story, as. the structure being
next to the AQueduct bridge. 1t Is pro-
posed to have a stairway thrown from
the bridge right into the balcony that will
encircle the structure. the stairway being
closed against intrusion by an iron gate,
to which only members will have keys.
There will" also be an entrance on the
Water street front of the house, used by
those who come over in carriages or auto
mobiles. or the carting of boating material
during a regatta. The place Is to be
supplied with electric lights and gas, and
also a plant to thoroughly heat it during
all seasons, thereby providing hot and
cold water.
The cost of this new home. including
purchase of ground and building. will APP
proximate nearly $AOOO.

DAILY WINS AGAIN AT
IRISH-AMERICAN GAMES

NEW YORK. October 14-John j. DAILY
the champion long distance runner, won
another race yesterday afternoon at the
games Of the IrishAmerican Athletic
Club. held at Celtic Park. With the same
ease with which the Irish-American ath-
lete captured all his races this year he
won twO-mile steeplechase event
Days performance was remarkable.
With his feet sore from the effects of
the ten-mile championship run which he
won at the Polo Grounds Saturday. he
started IN this event. and, as usual gave
his opponents big handicaps. Pitted
against him were q dozen Of the fastest
distance runners in the metropolitan dis
trict. The course was laid out inside the
regular field and measured seven laps to
the mile. Erected on this were four OBJ
stacles three feet high and covered with
brush, one of which was backed up by a
pool of water more than a foot deep.
AS soon as the start was effected Daily
started at a slow pace. He numbered
along to the first jump leaped it rather
easily and then quickened his pace, but
not sufficiently to gain materially on his
opponents
After he climbed out of the water. into
which he had fallen as he leaped the sec
ond jump. he set sail for the leaders. On
the fiat he gained rapidly, but In going
over the hurdles during the first mile he
|
the race progressed Daily jumped better,
and before mile and half had been
run he was jumping best and running
fastest third of mile from the finish
he gained the lead. and despite the fact
that he stopped twice to remove from
his foot a bandage which had become
loose he maintained the lead to the end.
Although running by himself he sprinted
the last lap and gained in that one lap
more than fifty yards on his opponents
Eddie Carr of the Xavier A. C. finished
second. and William Frank, Days club
mate. third. The winner ran the distance
in ID minutes and SO seconds.
Those two giant athletic rivals. Matt
McGrath Of the York Athletic Club and
John Flanagan Of the Irish-American A.
c., competed in the siXteen-pound ham
mer event and both were beaten. The
handicap awarded to B. Sherman was too
much for them to overcome. McGrath did
much better than the winner and Flana-
gan. but he got only second prize. Flana
gan failed to get prize. McGraths best
throw was 1853 feet 10 inches. F'lanagans
best was 161 feet ~ inches.

At Church Of the Covenant.

For the second time this month the pull
pit of the Church of the Covenant was
filled yesterday by Rev. DR.. Henry Van
Dyke of Princeton and New York. His
text was the eighth verse. fourth chapter
of the Philippians: IF there be any vir-
tue. and If there be any praise, think on
these things
DR.. Van Dyke spoke of the existing epi-
demic of vice. which he declared to be on
the increase and contagious. and said that
wherever manifested it's influence Is wide
spread The purpose of the injunction con-
tanned in the text was explained I'm a mas
terful manner. The injunction offered by
Dr. Van Dyke, If obeyed, will result in
making virtue epidemic.

No Winter Ball Games.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. October 14.-There will
be no winter base ball games between the
California State League and the major
league clubs. This point was ruled upon
by the national base ball commission at
its meeting yesterday afternoon on a con-
tention raised by the Pacific Coast League.
The California State League. which Is an
outlaw" desired to arrange a series of
games with eastern clubs between the
regular base ball seasons.
The practice of farming out" players
was also given its death blow by a de-
cision of the commission to revise the
rules governing sales with options for re-
call of players. SO as to provide that all
such options in either major or minor
leagues should be made by August 20 of
each year and the players required to re-
port at once to the club exercising the op-
ton. with the further provision that no
club could enter into any such contract
with option for recall more than once for
the same player
