There are going to be two individual
races in the Georgetown meet which will
compare we'll with any that are held in
any part Of the country at any time dur
ing the year. The hurdles and the mile
open are the two events In which some of
will take part. The hurdles will bring to-
gether Thorpe of Carlisle. Plat of Yale,
Gardiner of Yale. Eller Of Georgetown,
Horrax Of Johns Hopkins and Hart of
Virginia. These men will undoubtedly put
up the classiest race over the timbers that
has been seen on a local track in years.

two others who will represent ipdepen-

John Paul Jones of Cornell. 1t is ques-

events held on a local floor which brought
together such talent as the two mentioned
will bring into competition in the George

LOS ANGELES, February 23.-Abie At

extend himself to the very limit Of his
ability and endurance, was decisively
whipped by the young Cleveland Queens

A championship reign Of eleven years

Whatever claim Billy Papke Of Illinois

tucket. R. 1. Mantell SO well earned a
twenty-round decision over Papke yes

Papke's manager. was discouraged and
announced that he would have nothing
more to do with the Illinois boy.
Mantell did not fight brilliantly, but he
had the better of the infighting through

was fairly divided. Papke did not have
his old ring generalship. and time after

the others were MantelPs. Neither man
had sufficient strength behind his blows

BY n. C. BYRD.

AT meeting of tho athletic council OF
the Maryland Agricultural College few
days ago 1t was decided to hold the an
nual track and field meet this year on the
18th of May. The date as adopted IS the
one on which the games will take place
unless there is serious objection on the
part of some of the schools in this Sec
ton on the grounds that they have given
some other meet prior acceptance.
The track and field meet at NJ. A. c.
was instituted last year. and, as was the
case then, will be held open to both prep
schools and colleges. The events. though
they were the first of the kind under
taken by the Farmers. were very sue.
cessful, especially from competitive
standpoint. Every effort will be made
this spring to make the meet more far
reaching affair in both it's collegiate and
scholastic phases. Last season the meet
Tor the colleges took place in the morn
ing, while the scholastic events were held
in the afternoon, aud it is probable that
no departure from that will be made.
The scholastic games last year We're
open to any prep school in the south
and the events were so graded that all
who entered had a chance to win. The
same conditions will govern the meet
this season. The collegiate meet though
had some events. in which there were moi
enough entries and instead Of allowing
only three of the Maryland colleges to
enter, as was the case last spring, it Is
probable that the senior events will be
thrown open to any Of the secondary in
stitutions in the south Atlantic section.
AS a result Of the suspension Of it's
best men. the Nautilus Club lost by an
Overwhelming score to Philadelphia
schools in the swimming meet held last
evening in the Young Mems Christian
Association pool. The substitutes Of the
local organization were no match for the
Pennsylvanians, and 1t was impossible
for them to tally even half as many
points as did their opponents.
The results Of the events were as fol-

IS FIXING DIAMOND
VIRGINIA Field Will Be in Shape
for Nationals.
UMPIRE RIGLER IN CHARGE
Every Effort Will Be Made to Make
Stay in Charlottesville
Pleasant One.

Charles Rigler, National League arbiter
of repute, and erstwhile coach Of the
University of Virginia base ball team,
has taken a personal interest in the visit
OF the Washington American League
base ball club to Charlottesville and has
promised to do all In his power to make
their stay pleasant one.
First of all, he proposes to give them a
field to work on that will be second to
none in this part of the country and if
anything superior to any south Of Wash
ington- 1t had been his plan to start
work on the infield of Lambeth Park early
this week. but bad stretch of weather
interfered. March winds arrived here in
full blast this morning and lent a help
ing hand in drying the field that through
recent rains had been rendered verita-
BILE sea Of mud. Today or tomorrow at
the latest a squadron of laborers will be
ordered to the field and work will be
started at once in leveling and rolling the
diamond. With the completion of this
work the usual overhauling of the out
field will follow The work will all be
done under the personal direction of Mr..
Rigler, who has become famous the world
over for his work along these lines. Only
last fall when he was in Cuba umpiring
the base ball games between the natives
and the New York National League club
lie UNDERTOOK TO reconstruct the playing
field that according to his own statement
was in miserable condition. His work
must have been satisfactory, for on his
return to the university he took pride in
exhibiting check for a thousand dollars
that had been presented him by the own
ers of the park as a reward for his eff
forts.
During the period Of work on the field
candidates for the university base ball
team, who have been working out almost
daily for the last three weeks. will be or
park. Here they will have their practice
until the work on the regular diamond
will have been completed.
Barring another stretch of bad weather
Rigler expects to have everything in tip
top shape in time for the arrival Of the
first squadron of major leaguers here
next week. Weather prophets in the Inn
mediate vicinity who have gained wide
repute through their predictions in past
tionals will be blessed with an agreeable
spell OF weather during their stay in
Charlottesville. They base their claims
mainly on the severe season that Is said
to have broken with the thunder and
lightning that accompanied q rainstorm
here last Wednesday. The season has
been the worst known to oldest natives of
the vicinity and is generally taken as
sign Of an early spring. The players may

1t was what is technically known as

Supposedly suffering from a fit OF
despondency, Mrs. Margaret Hoover, q
widow, thirty-eight years old, swal-
lowed two ounces of carbolic acid in
her room at 1903 North Capital street
yesterday afternoon, and was removed
to Casualty Hospital in what appeared
TO be a dying condition.
A surgeon worked over Mrs. Hoover
in the ambulance, and heroic measures
were used as soon as she was carried
into the emergency room at the hospi-
tai. but the physicians were unable to
restore her TO consciousness and at q
late hour last night II was announced
that she had slight chances.
Mystery surrounds what is believed to
be an attempt by Mrs. Hoover TO de-
Stroy herself She lived in North Capl-
toI street with Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Smallvood, neither Of whom seemed in
clined TO throw light on the case. An
investigation was instituted by the police.

the house. but the occupants refused to
admit him. II was learned that Mr.. and
Mrs. SmaIlwood were on the first floor
VIXEN they heard some one upstairs fall.
Smallwood ran up and found Mrs.
Hoover writhing on the floor. An empty
bottle which had contained the acid was
found on the floor beside her.
Mrs. Hoover lost consciousness in q few
minutes. Her mouth and lips were badly
burned by the acid.

DROP ARMY sLANDER CASE.
Lawsuit AEaInEt Capt. Eames' Wife
L. CompromIsed.

A lawsuit Of unusual interest in army
circles has been settled out Of court.
The suit was that OF Lieut.. Walter L.
Reed, Tenth Infantry. against Margaret
d. Eames. wife Of Capt. Harry z. Eames.
also OF the Tenth Infantry, and was an
action for damages growing out Of al
legged slanderous statements made by
Mrs. Eames to the effect that Lieut..
Reed while in charge Of the post ex-
change at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Ind.
was guilty of embeEElinE the posts funds.
Lieut.. Reed brought suit last July
against Mrs. Eames. his cause OF COM
plant being that Mrs. Eames had stated
on two occasions that he had taken funds
from the post exchange. Shortly after
the suit was commenced. Capt. and Mrs.
Eames came TO Washington. where Capt.
Eames Is now stationed at the War Col
lege. In September the Marion County
Und.) Circuit Court sustained a demur-
rer to the complaint of the plaintiff on
the grounds Of its insuficiency. A sec
ond complaint was filed. and in Feb
ruary Of this year the court ruled II out
on the ground that because Mrs. Eames
said Lieut. Reed took the funds the law
will not impute a wrongful meaning, but
will put an innocent meaning on them IL
possible" Lieut.. Reed, VINO was then in
Panama, returned TO the United States
and fled a third complaint, which was
pending when a compromise between the
parties was effected.
