Detroit had warned the detectives
that an attempt would be made by
the wreckers to destroy the new

City Of the Straits. 1t was deter
mined to prevent this loss. although
the detectives had been forcNd to

Raymond J. Burns, son of the head
OF the agency, hastily was summoned
to Detroit. Wishing to have the CO.

tailed Detectives Sergeants Biddn-

In Detroit the net was drawn
about Mcnamara and McManigal,
the detectives say. just as they were
about to lay the terminal in ruins.
Arrests Finally Made.
The men were arrested and told
they were wanted for safe-blowing

suspicious Of the ruse. and agreed will

seemed suddenly to divine that re-

supposed.

JONES WILL START
RIVER VIEW RACES
Cream OF Local and Balti-
more Talent Entered.

Some hot races are promised at the
meet of the Washington Cross Country
Club at River View tomorrow afternoon.
The cream of the local and Baltimore
talent is entered in the various events,
which comprise the regular A. A. L. pro-
gramme. The competition will be-keen
for the places.
The management of the meet has been
exceptionally fortunate In their choice for
starter. John Paul Jones, speed king of
the world, will send the boys to the
mark, and woe to the lad who tries to
steal.
Stecker. the .ocal distance star, has
been preparing a surprise for his fleet
footed hival, Elphinstone,- of Baltimore
The latter has defeated "Steck'' several
times in the last year. and the local boy
intends to turn the tables tomorrow. A
statement that chloroform will be resort
ed TO, il necessary, is indicative of the
rivalry between the two. Elphinstone, as
usual, has been putting in some hard
training on his home track, and expects
to carry home some fresh scalps.
Another treat is promised the sporting
public by the appearance of the entry of
Louis Connor. the old Central High
Irish-American Athletic Club. Before
Connor left these parts for his course at
Wesleyan he, consistently showed his
heels to all the home talent. and always
delighted his friends with his scrappy
finish. He was a star performer for Wes-
leyan. but has been stranger to the To-
cal tracks for several years.
Last Saturday Connor journeyed to
New York with Jones, and was third to
the worlds champion in the mile special
at the St. Agnes games. He simply ran
away from Monument in the last fifty
yards, and was only beaten out for Sec
ond place by less than four by Kiviat,
the National A. A. L. champion. Al
though both Stecker and Elphinstone will
have long handicaps on him, the old local
boy will make them both hustle to the
tape. 20.
The meet will begin at o'clock, and a
new record or two may be hung up be-
fore the finish of the last race

entitled to participate in the post-season

such rule was in the constitution, and
now the entire question rests upon the
constitution.
A verdict Of this case will be rendered
Tuesday
Commercial League Case.
Manager Myer. Of the Willard team,
protested a game played against alleged
Ineligible men representing the D. n.
Walford club, of the Commercial League,
and the board reversed a previous de-
cision. recommending that the game be
played over
As Willard still has one more contest
with Walford. the playing Of the regu-
larly scheduled game and the playing
over of the one recommended by the
board, Willard has a chance to tie An
drews for first place, providing, OF course.
1t wins both games.
1t seems rather unfair to the Suburban
League in general that such a case as
this should arise. After going all sea-
son with a great dear Of difficulty. the
winner Of the scheduled games may not
get into the post-season series, for,
should the constitution be found to con-
tain the clause stated that no less than
four teams shall constitute the league,
neither Siulver Spring ror Petworth will
get into the post-Season series.
In all fairness to the Silver Spring
team. 1t must be said that they are act
ing in a sportsmanlike manner and are
willing to give Petworth the choice OF
playing the two remaining games of the
schedule or playing three more. Silver
Spring must win two games to win the
pennant.
There is only one salvation for this
sort of muddle, and that is the one
man, one-team rule that has been ad-
vocated by President Beach, OF the Dis
trict League. When tie entire matter
is sifted down to the bottom it will be
found to hinge on the first two teams
which dropped out Of the league Were
that rule in operation, games would not
have been forfeited, and the original six
club circuit would still be in existence.
Adams Express, runners-up In the Dis
trict League, will face an all-star team
from the r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. League this
