FLYERS GETTING READY.
Several Thousand Birds to Be Placed
in Training.

Today begins the first of series of
training flights for the racing pigeons
belonging to the Washington Fedora
ton of Homing Pigeon Fanciers, in
preparation for what is destined TO be
the most enjoyable season known.
No less than five or six long distance
races have been arranged for club,
concourse. federation and combine hon
ors. The competition for these classic
events will be especially keen, and
members will be compelled to display
their greatest ingenuity and skill in
the selection of their nominations.
The Atlantic combine races from
Midland and Sudbury. both of which
cities are in far-off Canada, are natural
ly the seasons chief attractions. The
for them is not restricted
to the narrow walls of a clubroom,
city or state, but only by an imaginary
line drawn from Boston to Washing
tor which embraces every large flying
center on the Atlantic coast.
The past season. which was the first
of the combine, engendered an entry
of not quite two thousand pigeons
from two hundred lofts and represent
ing thirty cities for the race from Mid
land, a distance of from $50 to 500
miles to the various home lofts. The
present membership of the combine is
nearly double this number. pigeon fan

RACKET WlELDERS ACTIVE.
Georgetown Tennis Clubs Have
Two Matches This Week.

! For the first time in a number of years
the tennis players of Georgetown Uni
versity will figure in matches with out
side teams during the coming week, the
varsity team meeting the racket wielders
of ST. Johns College in Annapolis Sat
urday afternoon and the props playing
team from Business High School We'd
nesday. Both of the Hilltop clubs have
been training hard for some time and
according to latest information the men
composing the teams are in excellent con-
dition for making their debuts on the
courts.
Capt Pallen of the varsity four has
paired his men off and picked the ones
who will take part in saturdays con-
test, Murray and Malone and Carlin and
PaIlen being the team. Sets will be
played in both doubles and singles and
scores will be kept according to the rules
of the intercollegiate association. Carlln
and Pallen have been long associated
with the sport at the Hilltop school, while
the other two are men of ability, so that
there is no reason to believe that the
quartet will make other than a good
showing.
Not much is known of the st. Johns
aggregation, except that the sport has
long been fostered at the school and
for this reason the Annapolis four Will
probably be more experienced than the
locals. AS Georgetown expects TO play
the Navy later in the year, and as st.
Johns has already had a long record
against the future admirals Saturdays
results will be important in that they
will be a means of comparing George
towns chances with those of the Mddies.
The Prep team will be composed of
Capt. Trumbul and Loehl in the doubles
and McMullen and Duffy in the singles.
The Prep squad is a large one and be-
cause of this considerable difficulty was

With the games of this week out of the

the holding of an interclass tournament
for the purpose of creating more, interest
in the sport. The varsity courts have
been put in excellent condition and there
is every incentive for those with ability
along these lines to take part In the
matches. This year Georgetown received
challenges from a number of large east
ern schools, but could not accept them on
account of dearth of material from
which to train a team. Now, however.

GEORGETOWN STROKE ILL.
Cunniff Kept From Rowing in Var

The Georgetown varsity crew has been
handicapped in it's training during the
past two days by the absence of Mike"
Cunniff, who has been picked by Coach
Dempsey to do the stroking this year
Cunniff was in the boat Wednesday when
it overturned In the squall, but has
not been able to take his place since
then. His leg is badly cut and festered,
forming an abscess. The injured men,

physician and 1t is believed that it will
be sufficiently healed by tomorrow to al

the pace-setter's seat.
In the meantime Capt Murray has
been moved up from No. 4 and Brady
of the Props has been substituted in
the latter's place This shift of a prep
man was made in order that the second
crew might not be broken up. The crews
worked out yesterday and Friday in this
order. and al,--ough the varsity was
greatly handicapped by the change in
strokes great deal of benefit was gain
