there is no truth in the report sent out
from Philadelphia that he had orered
to allow Ketchel to meet "Ph1ladelphla
Jack" O'Brien in siX-round bout at the
National A. c., of that city. Britt also
declared that there is not chance OF
Ketchel and Sam LangfOrd coming to-
Gather for several months. This means
that Stanley is afraid of the colored fight

Jabez White the English lightweight,

Tommy Quill for twelve rounds at the
Armory A. A. of Boston in two weeks.
Billy Papke. the ex-middleweight cham
pion, has decided that no more managers
will get any of his money and on that

Locals to Play Gothamites in New
York Tomorrow

The Blue and Gray basket ball team
will leave this city tomorrow morning
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
for New York. where 1t is to meet the
Columbia goal-tossers in the university
gymnasium tomorrow evening. The SQUAD
will be composed of Manager bikes,
Coach Joyce, Capt. Rice. the two Colli-
flowers Schlosser. Goggin. Kingsley and
Cogan. They will return to Washington
Thursday morning.
a shake-up In the quint has been made
since Saturdays contest against Virginia
Goggin's superior work in the second half
of that battle, when he was substituted
for keliher, has given him a regular
place In the lineup, while Kingsley and
Cogan, both eX-prep stars, are to be car
ried as subs. The decision to take along
the younger pair instead of couple of
the veterans was reached last night, and
the reason for it is that the colts will
be needed next year when the old fellows
have been graduated.
The five is In tip-top condition, the en-
counter at Charlottesville having served
as limberer after the Y. M. c. A. scrap
1t was intended to hold practice last
night against the CAROLS, but a smoker
in the Iatter's hall made it impossible.
1t is not unlikely that little light work
will be done this evening. The whole
team is especially anxious to carry off
y
ably do more than any other toward de-
Gliding the collegiate championship.
Columbia has made extensive prepara-
tons for the event, they also realizing
how closely matched the contending
quints are. The light Blue and White
bunch are in sterling condition, and are
considered to be the fastest aggregation
of goal-tossers seen at Columbia in some
years.
The New York alumni of both institu-
tons are to attend in body. Columbia S
following WILL of course, outnumber that
Of the Blue and Gray, but the enthusi-
asm of the latter will in some part COM
pensate for their lack of numbers.

Props Bestow Honors on Foot Bali
Team.

After a delay of two months. during
which time there was a great deal Of dis
cussion gone through, the Georgetown
Preparatory School Athletic Association
finally decided yesterday to award tho
foot ball monogram to the members OF
last years foot ball team. Thirteen men
received the coveted letters.
The cause for the delay came from the
fact that not enough games were played
by the Colts to fulfill the conditions laid
down in the constitution for awarding the
letters, while Techs refusal to meet the
embryo collegians on the gridiron threw
out the championship game clause. Be
cause of the fact that the Props won
the championship of the District on COM
parative scores, it was finally agreed to
make a special rule for this case and
under the new clause G. P.'s were award
ed for foot ball to the following: Haislip.

COLONEL M'cLURE's BAHAMAS
Philadelphia Bulletin.)

The late Colonel A. K. Mcclure was
brilliant raconteur," said a veteran
Glover club man. I'll never forget his
paJama story.
Colonel Mcclure told this story at a
Glover club dinner in the old Bellevue
of Philadelphia. 1t was a story about
the Spanish war.
There was a regiment, it seems, re-
cruited from COnshOhocken, Cinnamin-
son, WaWa and Manunka Chunk, and
the ladies of those Pennsylvania towns
got together after the regiments de-
parture and made lot of pajamas for
the soldiers. Pajamas were a new
thing in those days; smart, exclusive
and so forth; the ordinary man wore
a night shirt.
well, those pajamas, in a half dozen
big packing cases, went duly Cuba
wards, but no word of their arrival ever
came back. The ladies waited about a
month. They then wired to the colo
mel, a genial, whole-souIed Conshohock-
ener:
Anxious to know if you got the pa
jamas last MONTH
THE colonel had never heard of pa
jamas. He wired back:
Story is a lie out of the whole
cloth, probably fabricated by enemies
to ruin me politically. Admit am not
total abstainer, but never had pajamas
last. month or any other time -
