Doint already to one of the largest entry

event of unusual significance the run

by private parties. The distance Is not

number of owners, many of them mefTl-

Equally strong in his best wishes and
hearty in his Endorsement is William

City Pride a Factor.
in addition to a desire to arouse in
tereSt in the event for the sake of boost
ing the distance game civic pride prom
ise5 to play large factor in the compe-
tition. Washington and Baltimore have
long been recognized as logical op-
ponents in various sports from football
and baseball to tennis and cricket. The
advent of intercity track contests is. con-
sidered the logical development of ath-
letic activity.
Though no tVorld records are likely to
fall, the time should be creditable with
the best made in New England. where
the game fourishes.

RESULT OF GAME
is BIG SURPRISE
Blue and Gray Overconfident Of
Defeating Crack South
ernerS.

1t wasn't really hard to figure out the
defeat Of Georgetown at the hands Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
aggregation from North Carolina yes
terday. The score favored the visitors,
to 2, yet even this fails TO tell the true
status of affairs on the Blue and Gray
campus yesterday afternoon.
1t was not a pitchers battle. as one
might surmise from the closeness of the
score. It was a complete triumph Tor
the Tar Heel slabman, Stafford That
heavy hitting Georgetown team was let
down just about as easily as IL has been
SO far this season. and it must be re-
membered that the teams 1t nas lined up
against have been the cream of the
Northern universities This was 4
Southern team, and one whose showing
yesterday will long be remembered by
all Of the lIiIl Toppers. The Blue and
Gray got but three hits. all singles,
two by Mayock and one by Schaiy.
Stafford held the reins throughout the
strife, and had it not been for serious
slip-ups by his ielders, would easily
have scored a shut-out.
Gets Poor Support.
Balzer opposed Stafford and. while ne
got the short end of the score, his work
suffers but little when compared with
that of the Southerner He allowed five
hits, walked one, hit one, and had one
strike-out. In the second and eighth
innings. those IN which ths visitors Sc
cured all their runs, Balzer was miser-
ably supported. The brace of talIies
registered by the Southerners in the sec
ond game after Mayock had allowed
an easy grounder to slip through his
mitts, and the final winning score cross
ed the pan on giaring nuff by Cal
Blue and Gray coliegians.
compared with the performances of
some of the most prominent of the
Northern college pitchers seen here this
spring StaTord's work in the box yes
terday was impressive. He had speed
control and an excellent break to his
| curve ball, which seldom failed to clip
some corner OF the plate. Seven George
town batters were retired with their
feet still.
Teams On a Par.
AS far as the relative merits of the
two teams are concerned Georgetown is
in no way lacking 1t was only the
brilliant performance of the visiting
slabmen that defeated the locals, for in
troublous times the Tar and Heel field
ers invariably sought the air and left
the task of pulling out of the rut to the
pitcher, who, it might be edded, more
creditably filed the role. The tendency
10 ascend was perceptible in both in
fields and had IL not been for glaring
errors on the part Of the opposing in
fielderS, Stafford and Sr aoka Balzer
might have been pitching yet
This game was the first that the Blue
and Gray has played with any of the
Southern universities and from the re-
suit yesterday it may be that the aggre-
cations from these regions viii offer
the surprises Of the season.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks,

New York. Feb. 4.-The professional
limitations OF the current stock market
Iestilct the swing of prices to COM
carrying an advance further was becom-
ing manifest before operations were con-
cluded yesterday and the reaction nat
day. These trivial fluctuations do not rem
resent. any significant change of opinions
on values from day to day. The condi-
ton underlying the market is clearly one
of neglect. and of waiting for clearer
light on the situation. The investment
demand for bonds continues excellent the
ing issues at the Stock Exchange being
constantly supplemented by new issues
which , are quickly taken up, The extent
TO when TINS process has been carried
serves of the banks is at last beginning
to make some impression on money rates
of the banking community
CAN loans did not fall below . per cent
today and the maximum rose to per
cent. which makes the record for the new
year. The renewed call of the secretary
of the treasury upon the depository banks
for the return of another $4,000 of gov
eminent funds by Feb. % offered the os-
tensible reason for the lessened inclina-
fton OF tenders to accept bids recently
prevailing for loans. There was some in
crease Of demand on the part of borrow
ers as well. With the effect of this hard
ening of money rates transferred to the
foreign exchange market to lower rates
foreigners have shown an increased diSpO-
sition to sell stocks in New York Such
selling was an influence in the early de-
pressing influence by a drop which es-
tablished a new low price for the year
seemingly prompted by the determination
of the company to make a years trial of
the So-cent gas law, without further eff
fort to contest it in litigation.
The suspicion with which yesterdays
allegations of improvements in the cop
per trade were received resulted in a de-
cline in the copper industrials. The price
of the metal was reduced again here
and in London and the efficacy of the
reduction announced yesterday by the
principal producer in securing orders was
doubted The uncheerful view of the iron
and steel trade confirmed the feeling of
dissatisfaction with metal trade condi-
tons and affected sentiment towards val
ues in general although with no special
effect on the steel industrials. The cut
in trunk line freight rates in the dispute
over differentials between Boston and
trunk line terminal points further south
was not liked. The cheaper railroad
stocks again supplied the sustaining
points in the market on deal" rumors.
The Gould group being conspicuous,
there was growth in the influence on
the general list of these special points of
strength in the course of the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. S5,3S0.00O. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
