Clubs do well.

Both the Washington A. A. and the
Washington c. c. at the Baltimore
games yesterday did exceptionally well
and should have good track teams for
the winter meets. The surprise of the
afternoon was Johnny Stecker, whose
years layoff seems to be the making of
him. Stecker's performances at the
shorter distances were all the more re-
markable as he is considered a long
distance man.

Policing is poor.

Despite frequent warnings in previous
events the policing at the regatta yes
terday was anything bat satisfactory.
In an event of this kind the only thing
that could mar the races was the fact
that pleasure craft. were allowed to
rcam over the course. 1t happened be-
fore here and 1t happened again yes
terday. The revenue cutter and the po-
ice boat were useless.

Victory is surprise.

Joe Mandot's victory over Joe Rivers
was the surprise of the holiday in the
fistic world. Rivers, after his sturdy
battle with Ad Wolgast, was consid-
cred of championship timber. Now he
will have to fight his way to the top
all over again. Mandot is not though
a coming champion.

Southern sprang a surprise yesterday
in its game with Ninth those teams
figuring in a 4-to-4 tie. AS far as play
ing strength was concerned the teams
appeared to be even. Both pitchers
worked along at the same gait, and the
batting was even. In the field Southern
made two errors, while the Ninth team
fell down but once.

Pepco and Southern will hook up to-

fident of being returned the winner,
some consideration is given to the
Southern team. which tied I'D Ninth in
yesterdays contest.
Manager Gray's team feels that the
title is as good as won since a defeat
of the Ninth team gives the Power COM
parry team a clear lead. Southern. on
the other hand, sees a chance to WIN
first place standing by defeat of Pepco
today. and is to put forth every effort
to win.
