The Potomac Boat Club will tonight be-
gin its attempt to raise funds TO carry out
its plans for the Middls States regatta.
The first of a series of affairs to be given
by the club with that purpose in view
will be an excursion down the river on
the steamer Charles Manchester. The
boat will leave-the wharf at $50 o'clock.
The expense of accomplishing the plans
prepared by the committe e In charge
of the regatta is more than the club
treasury itself will stand, and some such
method as that mentioned had to be
undertaken in order that the required
amount might be raised The financing
of the regatta will amount to a great
deal and this is only the first of a series
of attempts to secure the proper funds.
Mclean. the Technical infielder. con-
nected for three safe hits out of four trips
to the pan yesterday in the game in the
Columbia League. The hitting itself was
not so remarkable were it not for the
fact that the Tech boy is considered a
light sticker, and has been doing very
little with the bat this season.
Mclean is mighty good ball player,
though. Had he been able to play In
the high schools he would undoubtedly
have won job all-hign lnfielder.
There are few scholastic players who
have anything on him in any depart
ment of the game.
ball against the Aloysius club yester-
day in the Independence League. he
not only won, but had things his own
way at all times.
1t rather appears that it would be
the better policy to work Brady
against the strong clubs instead OF
sending him in against those which
almost anybody could beat. Brady has
enough stuff to trim any club In the
league when he is right. provided mis-
team makes three or four runs behind
him, and he certainly ought to be sent
in against the best of them.
brennan got the only hit made off
Brady yesterday in the Independence
League game. There. were few hits
which resembled safe drives. The best
that could be done was to pop up
weak fly or else send out little roller.
Fourteen of the Aloysius men whitfield
the air in their attempts to connect
with The ball at all.
Kelly, who has yet to lose u game
this season won another for the Ma
tivity team in the Sunday school
League yesterday. While he got him
self into numerous holes, the young
ster pitched himeslf out of them and
finally landed the long end of the
score. I'll appears there is not club
in the league that can beat him.
There is scarcely a school in the coun-
try that plays as hard a foot bal schedule
as does Carlisle. The Indians open their
season earlier and generally play longer
than any of the others. Not only do they
meet the best teams in the country, but
they play consistently strong elevens
every week.
This year the season will be started
with Albright. The game will be played
in Carlisle September y. Then will come
Lebanon Valley on the 18th and the fol-
lowing Saturday Dickinson will be play
ed. Three games the first week. Not an
easy task for any eleven to undertake.
OF course. the Lebanon team will prove
very easy. but the other two will not be

er that will come nine games in success

caliber TO tax the strength of the eleven.
The fact that the Indians will meet
Georgetown this year, just after having
played Washington and Jefferson, SYRIA
cuse and Pittsburgh in succession should
cause the local school to make a much
better showing than last year. In fact, it
has been confidently expressed on the
Hilltop that there We're hopes of win
ming under such conditions 1t is we'll
known that an earlier date on the Car
Isle schedule was refused by George
town. it was desired TO meet the In
dams after they had been up against
several hard teams in succession. Also
it was desired at Georgetown that the
Blue and Gray eleven be pitted against
some fairly difficult teams before taking
on the Redskins.
