HOLY NAME ATHLETIC CLUB
Young Organization Has Already
Made a Name for Itself,

The Holy Name Athletic Club although
one of Washingtons youngest athletic
organizations, having been in existence
only since October, 1906, is now one of the
strongest. It's birth was due to the eff
forts of Henry Hogan, who was unani-
mously elected president and manager of
athletics. which position he held until the
latter part of 1907, when he was sue
ceeded by the incumbent. Clarence NJ
Ashton. The other officers are Thomas
Kerrigan, secretary, and John Limberger
treasurer.
The "churchmen'' have always had a
fondness for foot ball. which has never
been lost sight of. and this sport has dom
mated the organization. Their first foot
ball team, that of 1906, made its season
very successful one, their best game
being against the crack Warwick aggre-
cation, which they defeated to the tune of
100 Some of their otner victories were
those over the strong Twning and Patter-
son Athletic Club teams. Their record
for the season was five games won out of
seven played.
The gridiron record for 1907 was better
than that of the previous season. AL
though the number of victories and de-
feats was the same. they lined up against
stronger teams, and at the close of the
ship of the District. This claim was
disputed by the Warwicks but although
the Holy Name challenged them to a
series of games, the teams never got to-
gether. Manager Ashton succeeded Hogan
at the beginning of the season and played
right guard. Other members of the team
were Kelley, center; Babbington, life
guard; Kraw, right tackle; O'Connel, left
tackle; Limberger, quarterback; O'Neill,
right halfback: kerriggan, left halfback.
and Karr, fullback. Some of the
church boys" victims during the season
were the Patterson Athletic Club, the
Iowas and the Idahos.
Last year was their banner year on the
gridiron. The team was greatly strength
ened by the addition of Reds Palmer,
the Business High School coach: kuntz.
the former Gurley A. c. star; Riddledoff
and Berger. Their record for the year
was a fine one, having lost but two out of
twelve games played. Their two defeats
were administered by the Georgetown
Props and Gallaudet College, in both
games the Holy Names being outweighed
by several pounds to the man.
During the year the "churchmen" de-
feated nearly all of the best teams in
the city. Among their victims may be
found the Gurley Athletic Club, Brent
wood Athletic Club (two games), Twining

were defeated by the score of Ga. after

| history of local amateur foot ball.
| At the close of the season the Holy
Names again claimed the 145-pound
championship and again the Warwicks
! disputed the claim. Although the Church
boys challenged them through the press
as well as otherwise the teams never
got together, so there is still some doubt
about the title. although the Holy Names
record is the better
The team will be stronger next year. as
the boys will have had the benefit of one
years experience at playing together, and
they expect to display better team work
than ever before, and team work cuts a
big figure
Too much credit can not be given to
Manager Ashton for his good work. When
he lock charge of the team it was a very
mediocre one. but by his efficient coach
ing he has brought it up to what it now
is. one of the best in the city. Manager
Ashton started his foot ball career as a
member of the strong Walbrook team of
Baltimore Since moving to Washington
he has been a member of the Washington
Boys Club and the Army and Navy Prep
teams. Center Rush. Ashton. as he is
familiarly known to the local sporting
writer's. is considered to be one of the
best players at his position in the city,
He will again hold the center position
and manage the Holy Name team next
season.
It's schedule for the coming year will
be an exceedingly attractive one, and will
include games with GEORGETOWN. George
Washington, Georgetown Preps Gallaudet
and several other prominent southern
schools and colleges.
Good Base Ball Team, Too.
The Holy Name base ball team is also a
good one. and has made an enviable rec
ord for itself during the two seasons Of
it's existence. In 1907 it was composed
of Smith, Daley, Lynch, Kerrigan, Muir
ply, Purcell, Limberger, O'Connel, Kelley
and Ashton. Prof. L. Lichiter managed
the team and Jack Carr, the we'll known
local professional ball tosser who is now
playing with the Butte (Montana) team

RURAL TELEPHONE COMPANY ORGANIZED
Capitalized at 5000. OO.-Work of
Constructing Lines to be Begun
at Once.

The spirit of progress is still at
work in the hearts of the people of
Welsh, and as result of the energy
and push of her citizens, Welsh and
vicinity are soon to have, what they
have long needed, rural telephone
system.
The new company had its inception,
in large measure, by d chance dis
cussion of the subject of rural tele-
phones by few business meu and
planters of this locality, d short time
ago. AS d result of this discussion,
Mr.. H. E. Wesson, who was of the
party, set about the organization of a
local line to connect his and few of
his neighbors' farms, with Welsh, by
phone,
So popular was the movement and
so many requests were made for con-
nections outside the limits of the pro.
posed line, that it soon became ap-
parent that the scope of the work
must be materially enlarged. The
present company was then organized
and chartered with a capitalization of
s25, 100000. The officers of the com.
pany are: Fl. E. Wesson, president:
Jno. H. Cooper, secretary; F.. C.
Willard, treasurer. DR.. Jno. H.
Cooper, H. E. Wesson, E. C. Willard,
VIM. Gabbert, Geo. Cosner, A. Y.
Jones and E. H. Boiling constitute the
board of directors.
1t is the expectation of the company
to begin the work of erecting poles
and putting up their lines as quickly
as possible.
The first line will be built north Of
town, but it is the intention of the
company to connect the entire sur.
rounding country in the near uture.
