Two hits and a run for Street,

Groom's fielding yesterday was a sur
prise. Ordinarily. he is to the good in
covering his position, and knows most
of the minor tricks OF the trade that
come in so handy at times. He has
shown himself a quick thinker on
many occasions. and in the mechanical
part of picking up hunts and throwing
them accurately has averaged up well
with the other Washington pitchers. In
this one game he failed several times
to cover the bag when he had a chance,
and when he did show signs of knowing
his post in an emergency he got there
so late 1t was all off in the matter Of
producing results. Funny, isn't it, that
when Washington can't lose one way II
will another, by just such lapses as that

ATHLETIC MANAGER
IS M'BAIN'S IDEA
New President of G. w. u.
Council Wants Permanent
Official to Handle
Sports.
FOOTBALL DATES
NOT CANCELLED
Schedule Will Be Played Out.
Money Appropriated for
Grounds.
By THOMAS s. RICE.

Prof L. H. MeBsin, the new dean Of
the political science department OF
George Washington University, who
was elected president of the university's
athletic council last Tuesday night,
bears the earmarks of a man who
should make good in both of his new
positions.
Prof. McBain has the appearance of
a man of great strength of mind. He
was for a year at the University of
Chicago. and while there, did not write
q book announcing that ali religions
were jokes or cOnVicting himself OF be-
ing a vegetarian or suffragette in the
first degrse. This was proof of mental
fortitude Ear beyond the ordinary, and
he will need all OF il if he is going
10 untangle the snarls in G. ". L. ath-
letics.
Prof McBain said this morning:
7 have been in the city only two days.
having left shortly before the university
closed, and am totally out OF touch with
the details of athletic management here,
but am preparing TO get some sort of
grasp of the situation. What the policy
of the council or myself viii be IS i'm
possible to say at the present but II Is
perfectly evident that 1 have too much
10 do to enter actively into the minute
details Of sports at such large institu-
ton.
Permanent Head
u am personally convinced that the
better way TO handle athletics in uni
versities situated like George Wash
ington is TO have professional or alum
nus director or manager whose duty 1t
is 10 take charge of the various teams
and, year after year, look after all
matters except those Of strictly ad-
ministrative measure and those concern
ing eligibility.
whether George Washington VIII
adopt such a system this year cannot
be told until the period of reorganization
has passed, but If II does not come now
IL probably viii later on.
I am positive from what I hear the
football schedule will be played out IN
fun, and an appropriation has been
passed 10 rent grounds for practice and
games The only athlete I have met
since 1 returned is Captain Sommers,
of the football team, who told me he
expected to have a stronger eleven IN
1910 than he had last fall. There is no
doubt but what the success Of the 1893
eleven was q great help to athletics at
George Washington and did a vast deal
&c establish its prestige In that line.
For that reason I am sure nothing VIII
be allowed 70 cause the canceing or
the schedule. or even its important
dates, for I fully understand that such
q move would set US back some years. "

BULL ROCK BRIDGE.
Final Adjustment of Mandamus Pro
ceedings Against City of Bath.

Final adjustment appears to have
been reached in the matter of the pc
tition for writ of mandamus to COM
pei the city of Bath to reconstruct
Bull Rock bridge, so called. This pc
tition, which has been presented by
Senator Wheeler of Brunswick has
been pending before Judge Whitehouse
for more than a year. The requisition
of the department at Washington rcIa-
ting to the required height of the pro-
posed structure seemed to be practical
ly prohibitive, but upon the renewal
of Senator Wheeler's motion that a
premptory writ of mandamus issue
assurance has been received from May
or John S. Hyde of Bath that new
bridge will be constructed forthwith
farther up the river above New Mead
ows Inn, which will be satisfactory to
all parties. 81.
Former Mayor f. W. Hyde of Bath.
who owns the land on the western
terminus of the proposed bridge has
proposed to aid the plans for the new
bridge by giving the use for a highway
of land connecting the old highway
with the western terminus Of the
bridge.
