of Its Leading Performers.

The Gurley Athletic Club has Just
passed the first anniversary of its TeOr-
EanizatiOn and its success this season
has been greatly beyond expectation
1t is fast coming to the front as a
most promising club of young athletes,
and. as it has been greatly strength
cned by the addition of several we'll
know men, II bids fair TO more than
hold its own with any other club in the
District
Last year the GUrley Athletic Club re-
lay team ran It's first race as Junior
team I'm the Federal indoor meet. and
easily won the Sunday school champion
ship of the District. II defeated the
Bloomingdale Athletic Club in a match
race in the National Guard meet in re-
markabiy fast time, and just ended it's
outdoor season Labor Day by breaking
the track record at Washington Grove.
when II defeated the strong local Y NJ.

a junior team and were compelled to
enter tne open relay event because no
other junior teams had entered this
record is all the more cOmmendable.

King first came into prominence as a
broad jumper at the Washington Grove
games last year. when ne won his event
with 20 feet 1 inch. At the Caledonian
games he again came out first with a
leap OF 20 feet inches, and this year
at Washington Grove he proved himself

H S. Sutton, one Of the leaders Of

some suggestions for public improve

cred by the Board of Trade. the Cham
Der Of Commerce. and local capitalists
generally in their efforts TO secure The
Greater Washington" Among the
things needed by Washington, he says,
is place on Chesapeake Bay, only
forty miles away. where bay steamers
could land. with a fast electric line
constructed for heavy freight and pas

ley service in operation fer-y service

which would bring the Eastern Shore
within two hours Of the city, and make
il possible TO bring garden truck and

at jamaica and Aqueduct in the fall.
Both courses are situated in open fields
