UNION LEAGUERS BEAT

The local outlaws are continuing their

the Philadelphia band and thumped them
good and plenty at the Union grounds.

put up by the locals and were right there
with hearty applause.
The locals put up one Of the best games
of their career, both at the bat and more
notioeably in the field. McDermott, on
third, was the only man on the team
who had a sltp-up.
The batting honOrs were carried on by
Connors and Burke, each having connect
doubles. while the latter got one. Muir
ray, the ex-soldier. was again on the
firing line for the locals and once more
pitched winning ball. He has won all OF
his games so far this season. and Man
ager Irwin can feel safe with the little
fellow serving them over. He allowed
but five hits yesterday, all of which he
kept we'll scattered.

first appearance on the outlaw diamond

short field in great style. He was the
master Of six chances, two put-outs and
four assists. Gilbert, in certerfield for
the locals. had busy day. he having
pulled down four difficult chances.
The onlystime the visitors had look

MORRIsSEY TO 60 ABROAD
HE WILL LIKELY BE CHOSEN
FOR OLYMPIC TEAM.

NEW YORK. May 5.-There is no doubt
that Thomas J. Morrissey, the Mercury
Athletic Club athlete. who won the Bos-
ton Marathon in close to record time. will
be chosen as one of the team OF long
winded runners who will wear the 'Ameri-
can shield in the long race at the Olympic
games next July. The American commit
tee reserved the right to pick whom it
pleases. regardless Of how the candidate
finished. but Morrissey's victory was so
impressive that there is no room for ar
gument in the matter.

Two years ago he started in this same

that his eliminates believed he would

After that he fell off. Last Thanksgiving
day he took tenth prize in the Yonkers

as the enc he defeated at Boston. and In
much slower time. During the winter he
plugged along, taking part in road runs
under the auspices of his own and other

He jumped into the limelight as a real
live candidate for Olympic honors by gal

Longboat. the Indian runner, a year ago.
The conditions under which he ran, how
ever, were better than those confronting
the redskin. A stiff breeze blew against
his back most of the way, and what rain
and snow fell served to lay the dust. This
is not meant to detract in the slightest
from MorrisSey's performance, for it was
truly a remarkable one.
MorrisSey possesses all the requisites
for champion Marathoner. He has a
head on his shoulders and knows how to
use it. and although not nearly as power
fully built as Fred LORI or other previous
winners is remarkably strong. Once he
catches his stride, model one, by the
way, for distance work. there is no firing

GOOD ROWING RACES
PROMISED SATURDAY

Next Saturday will witness the opening
of the rowing season for this city. and
two very important races are scheduled
for decision between rival crews.
The most important race is the one set
for trial between the varsity of George
town and the one representing the New
York University. while the other. just as
important locally, will be between Second
Varsity Of Georgetown and the eight
representing the Technical High School of
this city.
The first race between the New York
and Georgetown varsity crews will be a
corking race. as reports received here
from the Harlem river are to the effect
that the Greater New York" boys are
rowing in fine shape and are getting fast
work out of their she'll while it is known
that Harvey Vail has got his crew into
beautiful swing. and they are showing
their shell through the water much more
rapidly than any Georgetown crew has
shown on the Potomac in several years.
Owing to the recent accident to their
racing shell, the Georgetown varsity was
without a good boat until the Potomac
Boat Club stepped in and rendered them
the use of their fine racing shell. the one
which is credited with the fastest time on
record i'm a Regular race. The Georgetown
crew is a husky bunch of youngsters and
are thoroughly imbued with Coach Vail S
system and expect to give a fine account
of themselves.
AS they will row Saturday II is about
the heaviest crew the college has ever
turned out, as the list will show:
