tains the names of several good Washing
ton athletes.
1t supports teams in foot ball, base ball,
basket ball. polo indoor base ball and
field and track.
The Alexandria BOYS have heretofore
used the town hail for training purposes
of the basket ball. indoor base ball, polo
and field and track teams, but as the
annual fair is being held there at this
time they have been forced to remain idle
for the last month. Several of the promi-
nent business men have taken an inter
est i'll the club, however. and plans are
afoot for the repairing and improving OF
one of the old halls which is suitable for
that purpose and it will be turned over
to the club boys for use as clubhouse
and gymnasium.
Foot Ball.
For the past two years the foot ball
team under the management of Harvey
Crump, has been one of the strongest
club teams IN the south. It's record last
year was an excellent one and showed
nineteen games played. thirteen won,
three lost and three tied Among its vic
tories may be mentioned those over the
strong Warwick and Gurley athletic club
teams. Manager Crump starred at half
back during the 1907 season, but received
bad back injury at the beginning of
last season and has never been able to
get back in the game since. Capt. X.
Cockrell was considered its best play
and had a great reputation for his broken
field running. He also coached the team
with great success. The MANAGEMENT is
already at work on an attractive sched-
ue for the coming season, which will In.
clude games with Richmond College. VIII

and several other prominent schools and
colleges. in addition TO athletic clubs

last two are good men. and with the
liberal handicap allowed noviceS they will
probably be heard from.
The men that do not make the relay
team will be entered in the individual
events. and Manager Crump is now bust
ly engaged in figuring out the best events
in which to enter the different men.

Eintwisle, F. Cockrell. Cooke Chilcotte.

played five games this season and won
all of them.
The polo team is a. good one. it having
defeated several good teams. among them
being the crack Palace Rink team This
team also defeated them once in a close
and hard-fought game, and another game
will be arranged in the near future to de-
eide the series. There being very few other
teams in the sport, the club boys find it
hard to get games. Members OF the team

who has gone west to engage in fruit
raising. If Smith coaches with the same
success that he played there need be no
fear concerning the fighting qualities OF
the 1909 eleven. AS a player Smith never
got enough work. He has shown the
same aggressive qualities in his capacity
as assistant coach at Pennsylvania. The
coaching problem at Pennsylvania has
been solved SO satisfactorily by the CO.
operation of a foot ball committee from
the athletic association and an advisory
committee with DR.. Carl S. Williams a
its head that the loss of so small a figure
as the field coach never affects the utility
of the Quaker system.
Capt. Coy of Yale is meeting with suc-
cess in his innovation of winter foot ba II
practice. He now has more than twenty
five men at work, and, what is more they
are accomplishing things. 1t has re-
manned for Coy to demonstrate that more
good can be accomplished by preliminary
practice in the winter than the late spring
when the men are in no mood for it.
National Scholastic Rowing Title.
If the present plans of the board OF
stewards of the American Rowing Asso-
citation do not go astray its seventh an
nual regatta to be held on the Schuyl-
kill river, May %. will attract the largest
tic entries in the history of the organiza-
ton. In order to make it certain that
the various entrants will be the strongest
obtainable the stewards have taken steps
to arrange preliminary regattas in al,
cities where there is more than one school
crew. with the idea of sending the vari-
GUS winners TO Philadelphia to compete
for the national title
Last year there We're seven starters
but it Is confidently expected that there
Will be fully ten this spring. The stew
ards will not limit the scholastic entrants
from any one city. In fact, they will
urge all crews TO come, even II they were
defeated in the preliminary regatta The
preliminary race has been arranged to
make certain that at least the best
crew from each city is, on hand. IL the
other Fights want 10 fight the issue over
again so much the better. For the pur-
pose OF encouraging scholastic rowing the

You hear lot about some ball play

the winter by doing a lot of bowling.
Bowling. in my opinion, and in the opin-
ion of a heap of other ball players who've
tried il during their winters off, is about
the worst thing ball players can fool
with. II knocks the dickens out of a

him lopsided and loggy. and messes him

Donovan of the Detroit club wasn't ready
TO pitch for q long time after the season

too much bowling during the winter. He
found that he was all to the stifferno

WINS WITH THE NEWS
Secret Of The Wonderful Success Of
a Great Paper.


The Philadelphia Record. now en-
tering upon the fortieth year of its
acquaintanceship with the world,
seems to have won its great prestige
by a stubborn refusal to be dragged
away from the simplest principle Of
journalism. Strange as it may seem
in these days of yari-colored emana-
tions from the printing press, the
Record has never been able to dis
abuse itself OF the notion that the
main duty OF a newspaper is to print
the news.
From its famous first page, which
is patterned after by newspapers
throughout the land, to the last line
of it's last page, the Record is always
chock full of news-just simply news.
Not content to carry the service of the
Associated Press, which it prints more
fully than any other Philadelphia
paper, the Record is recognized by
correspondents all over Pennsylvania
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
as the best buyer of special news dis
patches in the State of Pennsylvania.
Without trenching upon the field of
small neighboring newspapers, it car
ries a fuller service of countryside
Enews than any other journal in the
field, And its countryside. news, as
well as its dispatches from afar, has
the virtue of being reliable.
