OUT PLANS FOR REGATTA
Potomac Boat GLIB to Hold Excursion for
That Purpose Tonight-Department
Track Meet Is Postponed.

November 16-Pennsylvania, at Phila-
delphia.
November % : Training School. at
Springfield
There is but one circuit in which a
mighty good guess as to the post-season
entry cannot be given-the Railroad Y.
NJ. G. \. In that league there are three
teams fighting for the pennant, and any
of them may finally win out. So closely
are the teams punched that the leader
ship in the league Is determined with the
loss or winning of single game. Yes
terday that was the case. With the loss
of its game to the Adams club the Car
Department forfeited its place at the head
of the circuit.
There was almost a record created yes
terday in the Capital City League for
stolen bases Twelve times did men go
from one bag to another without the
least bit of assistance. The catchers
seemed pOwerless to stop the running at
will on the bags. their throwing being SO
poor that the ball was hardly placed
where the runner could be touched. and
the pitchers giving the runners such a
lead off the bases that they would almost
have been safe even though the throw
had been perfect.
The track and field meet which was to
have been held this week between the
ulieieHt departments uIIutf the auspices
of the Post Office has been postponed
until August II. Owing to the requests
received from the several departments to
the effect they could not muster their
full strength before that time. as many
of the men on whom they depended
would not be back in town until then,
and they would appreciate 1t II the Of
ficialS in charge would defer the games
until the mentioned time. 1t was decided
to acquiesce in their desires.
The meet is not pOStDOnR0 because OF
lack of interest. There has been such a
general concern for the success Of the
games that the heads of the various de-
partments have made every effort to ad-
vance them. and have personally given
their time to their furtherance.

BERINENI COMMIT
X$sHappenin$$SrSportdo

Marquard's. this season, there is no good
reason for considering him on the down
grade. Mathewson is once more proNin-
himself the mainstay of the Giants pitch
ing staff. and is delivering i'm the Same
consistent manner as OF yore. lie has
won sixteen games and lost five To date.
a record which once placed him among
the leading pitchers of the country. There
never has been a more remarkable pitch
er than Big Six This Is his twelfth
year in fast company. and there has
never been time when he did not finish
among the leaders. even IL he has not
led them. Ii has always been Mathewson
who has come to the rescue of his team
when il needed his services most tn.
Giants recent slump was brought 10 a
halt by him. and the chances are that
proven himself OF more value to the team.
than the sensational Marquard.
The home stretch has been reached in
the pennant race. 1t is a struggle be
tween Boston. Washington and Philadel-
piia in the American League and New
York. Chicago and Pittsburgh in the Ma
tional League. Unless one Of the othef
teams takes an unexpected brace they
cannot be counted as contenders from
this out. The races are old enough now
to have established those teams which
stand chance, and Washington Is
among them.
Boston apparently has a winning ad-
vantage at this time. Nothing but
slump can bring the Red Sox out Of first
place. and there is no indication that that
will happen. The consistent work of the
Sox does not appear TO be al an end by
any means. Boston made IL plain that II
would be there at the finish when IL last
hooked up with Philadelphia and won
four of the six games played. That was
the squirt which eventually may prove
the deciding series for the championship.
1t put the Athletics back 50 far that
they have but an outside chanc. to add
the third straight pennant to their list
The coming western trip will come pretty
near deciding this years champions.
Jake Stahl is coming in for Well de-
served praise. Not only has he proven OF
great help TO his team as player. but hc
has displayed unexpected ability as
manager OF course he has sreat ball
team, one which is bound To win lot
of games. but even under such conditions
a manager has 10 use good Judgment IN
handling his charges. Stahl has succeed
ed in this. and is not only popular with
his players. but they respect his ability
as a leader and player.
His return to the game is undoubtedly
responsible to a large extent for the sue
cess OF the Red Sox, for without first
class first baseman no team can have
pennant hopes these days.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Though every ball team, major and
minor leagues-yes, even the amateurs
play what is known as the hit and run,
it seems to be a fact that there Is only
one competent exponent of this play In
the American League, and his name is
Eddie Foster.
There is hardly a game played in which
the effort is not made to bring about this
combination Of running and hitting, and
yet Foster appears TO be the only player
In the league who accomplishes the feat
Of hitting through the space which one
or the other infielders Is vacating. Win
any degree Of consistency
Foster is an artist with the bat He
can do more in the matter of place NIT
ting than any other player who has
shown here this season, and IL Is this
fact which has won for him the reputa-
ton Of being the best hit and run man
in the league.
fully IL they happen to get clean base
hit while the man on the bases Is az
yancinR but one seldom sees the pan
showed through the infield py any Oh
them excepting Foster
BY constant practice roster mas a.
CURED the ability to hit into either field.
a remarkable feat when the fact Is taken
into consideration that the average play
er finds 1t difficult enough to connect Win
the ball at all. -.
Not until the base runner is well on ms
way and the fielder who is going to cover
the bag has started from his position does
Foster determine into which direction TO
send the ball, and 1t is seldom, indeed
that he fails TO accomplish his purpose.
Foster puts in all his time during bat
ting practice to perfecting himself IN TINS
respect. and other players would DO Wen
TO indulge in this practice. Tor II does
much TO help their efficiency.
