Suddenly, less than a quarter of a

skyward, then another and another, till

"Going away" Dolly stopped stocA

GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY" OF THE
GAME IN THE EARLY DAYS OF
BASE BALL IN THE CAPITAL CITY

Nationals hackers were ready to wager
all the money in the United States
Treasury that they would defeat the
visitors
We all followed form in those days
and hence argued that as the lawmakers
had defeated the Mutuals and the Ma
tionals had trimmed the Haymakers It
was all over but the final score and
the tainted money OF the Wall street
crowd of New Workers was surely easy
picking. 1t couldn't be otherwise. II was
claimed. for the Nationals were the best
team, as proved by that ten-inning game.
An immense crowd went out to sec
the contest and the glorious uncertain
ties of the game were practically DEM
onstrated to the utter discontinue OF
the local people for the Mutuals just
played rings around the Nationals and
defeated them - to Is. 1t was the sad
dest looking crowd that returned from
18th and streets I ever saw" said Mr..
Denham, and 1t was hard to argue
with them that the Mutuals were the bet
ter team. especially il they had been bet
tors on the result
Rum row. that old section Of the city
that was the resort of the sporty ele-
ment, was cleaned out completely by the
Wall street crowd and once In a while
you could hear people say that 1t was
throw down"
But the lesson as to the uncertainties
Of the game was very beneficial, as It
kept out of future contests the gambling
element and the game got q better hold
on the people who followed the sport for
the sports sake. The Mutuals We're the
best team of the country, as they proved
later that year by signally defeating the
lawmakers in a series for the gold ball.
Among It's players We're Lip" Pike, Fred
Waterman. Hatfield. Peters, Zeller
Devyrs. Mcmahon. Bearman and Charley
Hunt, who afterward became the leading
professional players of America"

ALL-AROUND CHAMPION.
Sheridan Fooled Those Who Thought
He Was "All In"

NEW YORK, July 25.-Martin Sheri-
dan, who won both the free-style discus
and the Greek discus in London, making
| a new worlds record In the latter event.
Is the most reliable point winner in the
| world. Sheridan has the happy faculty
of always making good" in the big
| emergencies. In the American tryouts
and in the few contests he entered be-
fore the team sailed Martin didn't shine.
Many people thought that the great
| champion had at last come to the end of
his winning streak and that new and
perhaps better champions would take
his place among the record breakers.
Sheridan is a light man among the
| weight throwers. 1t seemed likely that
| heavier men like Horn and Dearborn
| would best him when they had mastered
| the knack of throwing the saucer-shaped
missile.
But just before the team sailed Mar
tin. with his quiet smile. whispered:
Il can let out a few links yet. They'll
have to go some to beat me In the big
test. Horn is likely to beat anybody. but
feel sure I can beat the rest,
And when the ''big test came Martin
made good. The discus was thrown on
wet and soggy ground in transform.
Throwing this smooth and slippery OBJ
ject under such conditions is almost i'm
possible, which accounts for the fact that
Martin didn't establish a new mark in the
free style. But he won and made five
big points for America.
Sheridan Is a great athlete. He Is all
round champion. and no man living can
take that title away from him. with the
possible exception of Garrels Of the Chi
cago A. A. Garrels has a chance. and no
doubt the two will fight 1t out this year.
Like many other noted athletes, Sheridan
comes of famous athletic family. His
big brother Dick was first-class weight
thrower a few years ago. Martin says
his father was the greatest leaper in Ire
land.

CAMP PERRY TOURNEY.
Over 1000 Crack Military Marks
men Will Take Part.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 25.-All the ar
rangements for the tournament of the
National Rifle Association, which begins
at the range at Camp Perry. Ohio. Au-
gust 5. have been nearly completed. and
it Is expected that more than 1000 of the
crack military shots of the United States
will be In attendance. who with the 1000
officers scorers, markers. guards, ETC..
will make camp of nearly $500 men.
Indications point to a change in the
method of determining the competitions.
It Is represented that the attendance will
be SO large as to necessitate from two
to three weeks shooting. Of which ten
days will be devoted to national matches
alone. Many shooters are unable to take
this time. together with that necessary
for home practice and competitions for
places on the team. The question of ex-
pense is also entering largely into the
calculations of the state authorities. Ac-
cordingly. the project of dividing the
country into districts and having dis
trict contests, instead of one great meet
ing, Is likely to be the result. The win
ming teams will then be brought to-
gether at a central point and a national
competition held. Under this plan the
smaller and weaker states. which have
no chance to secure a prize in the big
competitions. would be saved much ex-
pense and the time consumed would be
shortened.

That the new law will not prevent book

CLUB BATTING RECORDS.

SEVEN TEAMS IN TWO LEAGuES
HAVE A CHANCE.

CHICAGO. July 25.-The fact that three
teams in the National League and four
In the American are regarded as nennant
chances has created quite a lot of betting
here on the clubs that will play for the
worlds championship this fall. Strange
enough the bettors. so far, are fighting
shy Of the clubs. They don't look good
enough to warrant any odds-on bets. The
White Sox have quite a following he
cause Of the fact that they finish the
season at home and when they get set
tied down for long stretch at the South
Side grounds they generally win a large
majority of their games.
1t is impossible to figure ont anv cot ~
odds that will cover the betting. but the
1act may be mentioned that the Giants
are accorded big chance to win the
National League pennant Many are bet
ing that New York and ST. Louis will
stage the big series this fall. Others
think that it will be New York and De-
troit. Other combinations are Pittsburg
and st. Louis. Detroit and Chicago again.
New York and Chicago, and Chicago and
ST. Louis.
lean League has set the st. Louis fans
afire with expectancy. McAleer's team
mas certainly played great ball away
from home this year, but for weeks the
Browns have not had any stars out of
the game. Some Of the dopesters look for
st. Louis to ''blow'' up If little hard
luck comes. Chicago and Philadelphia
are generally regarded as more "gamey"
teams. Let McAleer lose the services Of
a star pitcher or a hard hitter like Stone
and the team may slide. The race is so
close that team must keep going at top
speed all the time to stay In front. The
winner, therefore, must be blessed with
some luck. Cleveland. for instance. is
not seriously regarded. though that team
is strictly in the fight now. But the Maps
usually encounter hard luck and acct
dents.
Mike Donlin has figured 1t out that De-
troit Is going to be a repeater in the
American League this season, and he
thinks thesGiants should beat either the
Tigers or the Browns with ease A ma
jority of big league players also favor
Detroit over st. Louis. If 1t should turn
out that the Giants should play either
of these teams 1t will be the first time
that clubs Of different sections will have
played for the big honors since Boston
and Ptttsburg met in 1903.

ATHLETICS At GEORGETOWN
POOR PROSPECT FOR INTERCOL-

The future Of athletics at Georgetown

although due in some degree to the poor
showing at the American Henley. was
! caused by the lack of financial support
by the students.
The report of the Athletic Association
just submitted is interesting reading to all
sons of Georgetown. 1t begins by say
ing. Now that the financial reports are
available we can freely congratulate our
selves on our withdrawal from the Pough-
keepsie regatta this year. On a cash
balance of about $3.50, Offset by unpaid
bills of nearly $780, we could scarcely 20

year at the expense of next years man.
agement. To be frank. our crew was in
no condition to enter a championship
race.
Again we can safely rest satisfied with
the action of the executive committee IN
refusing to carry the expense Of basket
ball team next season. 1t was q rank
failure.
The track management gave us q great
meet, but we paid high figure for 1t; 1t
developed but little talent among the
students, and won US almost no honors.
IL VIC dic u lOOh upon the meet mere
| after merely as an athletic celebration at
which we are to be the hosts who foot
the deficit. We are getting down to de-
veloping spectacle with no physical adj
vantage to the student body. .
IF 1t were possible to get I'D inter-
class races on the river and track, to
bring the main body of the college stu
dents together it would be worth all the
money spent. but If we are to tax the best
energies of half a dozen managers to
raise funds to keep up excitement among
us and to give us the spectacle Of few
men doing athletic work and winning
modicum of glory distancing other COL
leges. it seems disproportionate expendi-
ture on an object that is scarce worth
WHILE"
The total receipts from all athletics for
the year were $17.272.4 6. and the total
expense was $17.O1S77. The receipts from
foot ball were $7,SO0.72: base ball,
