That game at Georgetown Field yes
| terday was the best baseball contest
have seen this season.
/ For colleges, both teams played re-
markable ball and the pitching was 50
| high class that the game was interest
! ing from the outset TO the end of the
| thirteenth inning.
| Tol Pendleton. the All-American half
! back. was Iimping around the Prince
, ton bench, still suffering from the in
| tured leg that has kept him of the
| team, while Gresham Poe came over
| from Baltimore to take look at his
| old college nine. Poe spent the after
! noon talking with Phil King, who was
| an All-American man when he was
playing quarterback, and with Eddie
| Harlem, the former Princeton gridiron
star.
YaIes delegation at the game was
headed by Captain Church. of the SWIM
ming team, who Is Washington boy.
Eddie Rheen, the former Central High
School player, was on the coaching
lines for Princeton most of the time.
Racing at Marlboro.
The racing men of Washington / met.
this morning were happy over the an
| nouncement that Arthur Elrod, the pro-
| moter, is still satisfied that there will
be racing at Marlboro this spring
Plans are already being made for the
erection of a grandstand, and 1t is ex-
pected that the whole plant viii be
] ready by the end of the meeting at
Pimlico.
Woman pool champion.
| Mrs. W. w. King. the woman pool
champion. dropped in this morning. She
is on a tour of the country, and viii
| play tonight at Cooper & Workings
rooms. on Ninth street.
Mrs. King Is a player whose skill
compares favorabIy with the best of the
male stars In the sport of the green
cloth and cue, and her exhibitions
against her husband should be inter-
esting.
Clarks rs coach.
Bill Clarke, the former Washington
catcher. was telling me yesterday that
he is tickled with the three-year con-
tract, which he has received from
Princeton to be baseball coach.
Clarke has resigned his place as man.
ager of the Albany club, of the New
York slate League. and Will devote all
his time 10 developing baseball teams
for Old Nassau.
Paul Jones on team.
Speaking of the work of Paul Jones,
the Washingtonians, who is at Cornell.
the Buffalo Express says:
The best man Cornell has in the
half mile is. of course, Jones, and it is
likely that he will make a big effort
to bring home the bacon for the Itha-
cans. The great trouble will be that
he will have to. run the mile, and 1t is
a question whether he can do justice
to himself in both events. Once in a
while there is a man like Haskins. the
former Penn crack. or PAUL, or some
runner of that caliber, who can get
away with it. The writer believes that
Jones can do the same thing, and he
believes that events will justify this
prediction.
Jones ran a half mile outdoors last
spring in 1:5s 20, but it is believed that
he can beat the mark and that without
much trouble. With Jones and Putnam
in the half. Cornell will be formidable
and should get first place in the dual
meets and score well in the intercol-
legiates. There is no Whitley of Deince-
ton in this event this year to make the
winning difficult
Boetlcr to pitch.
The American Security and Trust
Company nine, which has been doirlS
such good work thus far, Is to be fur
ther strengthened this summer BY
"Shick" Boetler, the Central High
School captain. For. the past two sum-
mers, Boetler has gone west. but this
time he will remain here, and will work
ut the bank.
Boetler is one Of the best scholastic
pitchers developed here in years. and
should make a most valuable addition
