Of POTOMAC BOAT
CLUB HOME TODAY
Acknowledge Superiority of
Opponents in Schuylkill
Regatta.

The majority Of the members Of the
Potomac Boat Clubs eight-oared crew
are back in Washington today, con-
WINGED that they bowed before superior
opponents in the annual regatta on the
Schuylkill yesterday.
Although they made pretty fast time
over the home course, the Potomacs
found they were in a fast class against
the Detroit Boat Club and the Vespers,
OF Philadelphia, in the junior event.
This was one of the fastwest Of the,
day, and was won by the Westerners,
with the Potomacs third.
In the intermediate Fights, Detroit
and the Maltas, of Philadelphia, fought
1t out stroke for stroke, the former
winning by about a quarter of O length,
with the Vespers third and Potomacs
fourth.
There was but one entry in the senior
Fights. In the senior sculls Butler, of

The Auditors and the Transportation
teams played a game on the league
grounds yesterday In which the Audi,
tors were victorious.
These two teams were made I'D most
ly of old-timers and furnished q great
deal of amusement for the spectators
present.
Jimmy Fitzpatrick was the star OF
the contest, showing a great deal of
the old-time stun when he lift three.
Dagger, a double and a, single In three
trips to the plate.
McAuliff also secured three safeties
out of as many times at bat, while Mr..
Winslow and DR.. Sprucebank each Sc
cured two out Of three trips to the pan.
The two banner catches were made
by Mr.. Winslow and DR.. Steltz, each
pulling down high fliers as IL they had
performed the trick many times before.
Fitzgerald seems unable to hit In the
Railroad League as he does in the Dis
trict League. When playing with the
Adams Express team he manages to
secure a couple of bingles in each con-
test but he falls down when It ID his
turn to hit for the Station team.

The All-Stars journeyed to Leesburg,
Va, yesterday, and were trimmed in
a good double-header by the close
scores Of 4 10 and to 2. Quite a
crowd Of Leesburgites witnessed the
contests. and some good ball was dis
played.
The first game was sensationally won
In the ninth inning by Mechanics, who
slammed the first ball pitched far out
or reach of any OF the fielders and cas-
fly romped home.
Risdon pitched exceptionally good
ball, and should have won easily. buI
his support wavered at critical mo-
ments. Ruckler and Young led at the
stick In this game, both hammeripg out
two safeties.
Munich went to the mound in the sec
ond contest, and, although a number OF
long ones were made on him, pitched
clever ball. The heat bothered botn
pitchers. but neither man allowed any
walks.

ToDAY-Andrews VS.. Telephone. at Georgia
avenue and Kenyon street.
TOMORROW-Moses VS.. Walford
-
With the season more than half over,
the fans are beginning to conjecture as
to the probable pennant winner. By
far the greater part are Of the opinion
that the seasons end will find the WAL
ford and Andrews teams struggling for
supremacy. Andrews has a tight hold
on first position, and although Walford
has dropped to second position, it is al
most certain that the team will recover
the lost ground before long.
Willard also is reckoned in the run
ming and Is to be depended upon to give
the other two a tall fight for first posi-
has strengthened his team greatly in
the past week, and with one or two
weaknesses corrected, the team will be
as strong as either Of its rivals.
After getting an excellent start at the
beginning of the season, the Telephone
team went into a decided slump, from
which 1t has not yet emerged, having
lost every one of nine successive games
since the last winning. The less of most
of the star players who were with the
team at the beginning Of the season is
held responsible for the slump. Mama
ger Hughes has worked hard Tor his
team, but has not been able to corral a
winning team.
The race in this league Is practically
between Walford, Andrews, and Will
lard, as the other teams are SO far be-
hind that they are not conceded to be
in n by the fans. A total of $50 points
separates walfords, the last Of the first
division teams, from Moses, the first Of
the second division teams.
Today's game may prove good one,
although the Telephone team will prob
ably be outmatched. The Hello boys,
however, may spring a surprise, as
several new men have been signed who
will, ii is claimed, strengthen the team
greatly. Manager Deneane will prob
ably send in Upton or Leahy, while
Manager Hughes will probably depend
on Eddie" Thompson to stop the
'Canaries' onslaught
The newly entered Times team Is
likely to cause a lot of trouble for the
leaders in the race. The Pressmen have
a nifty bunch of sluggers, and when
they get more fielding excellence. they
bid fair to cause upheavals.

When the board of directors met

the article Of the constitution which
prevented a manager being a ball play
er was SCI aside, and 1t was agreed
that a manager may now don a uni
form and play with his team, provided
he Is properly registered.
It was also decided to waive the rule
which requires that players must at
tend two Sundays before becoming
eligible, which decision allows all teams
to register men who attended last Sum-
day, provided the players become ell
gible. by attending next Sunday.
This ruling saved the neck of Ingram.

The game scheduled between sher-

ture Is that the first three teams have

but such was not the case, as his nose
soon stopped bleeding, and he again be-
came an enthusiastic onlooker. Lynch,
in the short field for the losers was so

benders and batted in five runs, which
sewed up the game.

made two great stops in the second
inning, getting his man at first on each
