uers at Hilltop Today.

GEORGETOWN today gives Washington
fans their first view of Federal League

tlmore Terrapins take the field against
Danny Coogan's Hilltoppers. Inasmuch
as Knabe's team is being doped gen.
orally to cop the pennant in the outlaw

be able to form some conclusion as to
the relative strength Of the outlaws and
the big leagues.
Baltimore has Mike Doolan at short,
Otto Knape at second, and "Swats"
Swaclna at first, all three fast players.
Guy Zinn, formerly with the Yankees
and Braves, is holding down a place in
the garden. Frank Smith,. the old time
White Sox twirler. is with the team,
though he is not expected to pitch here.

3 MILE ROUTE
 FOR HUDSON REGATTA

NEW YORK, Dee. 5. The agitation in favor of reducing the Intercollegiate Varsity eight-oared rowing race at Poughkeepsie from four to three miles appears to have won enough support CTS to brine about the change in 1915. For several years discussions regard ing the Deadly Fourth Mile" has m- creased steadily. Several of the lead ing coaches spoke strongly in favor of shortening the distance of the big race and the Board of Stewards are expected to ratify the change at the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Rowing association. The withdrawal of Wisconsin, as the result of a facul- ty ban on rowing, and the possibility of Princeton crews entering the regat- ta in place of the Badgers, are under stood to have been important factions in the decision to return to the dis tance at which the eights first raced
 The initial regatta of the Associa- ton was held on the Hudson river course at Poughkeepsie in 1895 with the three charter members, Coulmbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania finishing the four mile race in the order named. These three colleges sent crews to the Mudson until 1898 when the course was shifted at Saratoga Lake N Ys where Pennsylvania, Cornell, Wiscon. sin and Columbia finished the three mile race in the order given. This was Che first appearance of Wisconsin in the regatta and the only three mile race in the history O fthe Association SO that Pennsylyania's time of I g min utes 51 l-2 seconds still stands as 8 record In 1899 the regatta returned to Poughkeepsie and the four mile race which has remained the standard distance for varsity eights ever since.
