ALGIERS ATHLETICS TO THE
FORE.

After a few months of idleness the
Holy Name Gymnastic Club of Al
giers springs into prominence with
the announcement that a call for
candidates for the outdoor baseball
team has been sisued. 1t is remem-
bered that a team from the above
club made a game fight for the anna
teur championship of the city last
year in the Junior Amateur League.
They were nosed out by the Y. NJ. G..
c. team, being defeated in the last
game, which decided the pennant.
A better record is expected to be
made the coming season, since all of
last years players have announced
their intention of coming out for the
first practice. Norris Nolan, last
years manager and captain, and 9TH
erwise crack pitcher, will most like
ly serve in his old position. Games
will be sought from all good anna
teur teams of the city and country.
A second team is to be organized
also, for the benefit of the younger
members, good sport being promised
in this class.
Other lines of sport will not be
neglected, as time will be devoted to
bringing out undeveloped talent, of
which there is an abundance. A team
of much better caliber than last sea-
sons will be entered in the Junior
Indoor League, soon to be organ
lied. Entries will be made in events
of track and field. A hitherto new
field of sport will be entered also:
that of swimming. 1t is known that
some of the best swimmers in the
city are members of the above named
club, and few entries in meets of
this kind to bring out these facts are
needed.
The year 1914 will certainly be a
hummer as far as the H. N. G.. C.
of Algiers is concerned, and with the
combined efforts of the young men
of Algiers, this club will need watch
ing in all lines of sport.

LUCIEN TOO GOOD FOR ST. PAUL
BOY.

Ernest Lucien would be light
weight champion of the world in no
time If all his opponents were as soft
as the one he faced Monday night
at the Orleans A. c. Arthur Names of
st. Paul, a boxer recommended by
Eddie Reddy, the well-known man
ager of Mike Gibbons, to Promoter
Tortorich for tryout here, was the
amateurish opponent of the local
lightweight, and Names gave himself
away in the first round just as soon
as a left jab mussed up his hair a
bit. Names stepped back and calmly
smoothed back his flowing "mane"
with both hands before again assum-
ing a fighting attitude. This habit
OF stepping back out of range and
smoothing his hair carefully back
was continued throughout. Names
smiled good-naturedly at the taunts
of the crowd, and on occasion would
rush in and whang away with gloves
wide open most of the time. He
slapped Lucien on the back with open
gloves several times, and only a few
times showed any real knowledge of
boxing.

NAVAL TUG POTOMAC WAS THE
X. W. WILMOT.

The reported abandonment of the
United States naval tug Potomac in
the ice foes of the Gulf of st. Law
renee marks, perhaps, the final chap.
ter in the eventful career OF the for.
mer New Orleans tug Robert W
| Wilmot. An Associated Press dis
patch received here Monday from St
John, n. F.. states that the Potomac
| is held fast in the ice, and was aban-
doned Saturday night by the thirty
six officers and men of her crew.
This powerful tug was sold to the
United States government during the
/ Spanish-American war by the w. G..
| Wilmot Coal Company of New Or
leans, for which company it was
built, and during its sixteen years of
history as a naval tug participated in
numerous thrilling rescues of life
and vessels at sea, and had braved
the dangers of the Atlantic from the
dangerous ice coasts of the far north
and south almost to Cape Horn.
Shortly after being sold to the gov
eminent, and rechristened, the Poto-
mac was assigned to the Atlantic
feet off Cuba, and salvaged the Span
ish steamer Sandoval, and assisted
in saving and towing to American
docks a number of other Spanish yes
sells captured or disabled in the bat
tie off Santiago, Cuba.
The Potomac assisted in towing
the worlds largest floating dry dock,
the Dewey, from Sparrows Point,
Md, to Manila. having taken the dry
dock as far as the Suez Canal. The
Potomac also had the distinction of
being the first relief vessel to reach
Martinique after the great earth
quake disaster a few years ago.
The Potomac was of steel construc-
ton and finished in expensive ma
hogany and sycamore. 1t had triple
expansion engines, capable of devel-
oping 2000-horse power, and at the
time of construction, in 1897, was
the most powerful tug in the world.
1t was sold to the United States navy
for s125,O0O.
