The first try-outs of the Potomac and
Analostan boat clubs crews are sched-
uled to be held this afternoon. In only
Two events Will the wearers of the red
and white meet representatives of the
light blue but these are expected to
furnish some mighty good competition
In the other races the contenders will
all be Potomac men.
The Junior doubles and junior Fights
of the rival clubs are to meet in spe-
clal races. Coach Hecox has spoken
very highly of his pair in the doubles.
Hardy and Boryer being rated as way
above the average. and they will be
compelled to go against two very
capable men in Chamberlain and Pow
ell. The Junior Fights should also put
up very interesting struggle. The
two events will be of much benefit to
both clubs, inasmuch as they will have
the opportunity to compete against
strange aggregations,. which was I'M
usual in the past. owing to a rule that
existed against such races.

Agriculture made it's hold on first
place in the Departmental League lit
tie more secure by defeating War yes
terday. The score was to 0. Two
other contests were played that were
productive of shut-out marks. Metho-
| dfsts winning from the Baptists in the
Brookland Church circuit. by to O..
and Waverly handing 7-to-0 wallop
to the pennant-chasing Kenilworth ag-
gregation. Holy Name defeated the
Highlanders in the Rosedale organiza,

played to a 4-to-4 tie in the Railroad

Becker and Cole. pitching for the
Waverly club against kenilworth. al
lowed the Central League leaders only
one hit and no runs. Waverly con-
nected with the delivery of Harmon
for seven safeties. and. with the four
bases on balls given by him. it is not
| surprising that Waverly got enough
marks to give it the victory.
The game took some of the easy sail
ing out of Kenilworth. which had
previously been winning rather hand
lily. Notwithstanding its defeat. Kenil-
worth will probably get the cham
pionship in the first series.
Four two-base hits were among the
bingles gotten by Waverly. Fitzgerald
Moran, Becker and Tuohy drove out
the extra-base wallops. Neither team
had many assists. In fact. the scarcity
rather remarkable. Kenilworth had
seven to its credit. while Waverly had
only five.
Naples allowed the Highlanders only
four hits while pitching for the Holy
cellent, errors being responsible for the
most of the runs scored against him
Young was unable to hold the Holy Name
hitters. ten safeties being registered
Despite the eight hits gotten by War
off Owens of Agriculture. the former ag-
gregation was unable to score a single
run. Owens held the game well in hand
all the way. pitching easily the greatest
part of the time but tightening up when
ever 1t was necessary. Agriculture got
thirteen safe drives. three Of its play
ers getting three each. Cullinan, Spraas=,
ser and McLarney were the big clouters,
the last mentioned having two two-bag-
gers and one single
Ward, at third. and Sproesser, at short.
fielded brilliantly for Agriculture each
man handling seven chances. Ward did
not have misplay charged against him,
though Sproesser made one. Donnelly's
work at second for War was probably
the best fielding exhibition given in the
Departmental League this year. He had
six assists and three puts-outs, nine
chances in all. and did not have a thing
that looked like an error. Such fielding
as these three men did is extremely re-
markable when it is considered that the
diamond on which they play is not one
of the best by any means. In fact. on the
lumpy turf the ball takes all kinds of
strange bounds.
Phipps is catching consistently good
game for the Station team in the Railroad
Y. NJ. c. A. League. He is rated as the
best receiver in the circuit. He also hits
well. Yesterday in handling the delivery
of Thompson he got everything that
came his way, and he had perfect day
at bat. Three hits out of many at
temps was Phipps' record and one of
them was for two bases
Solicitors hit the ball hard in their
game against Chemistry. winning easily.
Their ten hits, with errors and bases
on balls, gave them ten runs. Some
thing of the looseness of the game may
we'll be understood when it is stated
that though ten runs were scored by
the Solicitors and five by Chemistry.
only four of the whole lot were earned.
Stanley. pitching for the Methodists
against the Baptists. allowed only four
a shut-out to his credit.
That race at Poughkeepsie yesterday
must have been one of the grandest
exhibitions ever given in an event of
the kind in this country. When three
crews go right down to the finish almost
neck and neck, so to speak. and one
barely pulls out in front at the end
on pure gameness. then it is undoubt- |
