| The FIRST tryouts 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.
1 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-
| cal races. Coach HecoX has spok en-
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 UNI
| usual in the past. owing to a rule that
existed against such races.

Agriculture made its hold on first
place in the Departmental League a lit
tie more secure by defeating War yes
| terday The score was to O. Two
| other contests We're played that were
pr objective OF shut-out marks. Metho-
dists winning from the Baptists in the
| Brookland Church circuit. by to o.
| and Waverly handing a 7-to-0 wallop
!, to the pennant-chasing kenilworth aS-
| Sregation. Holy Name defeated the
! Highlanders in the Rosedale organiza-
! W
| played to a 4-to-4 tie in the Railroad
| Y. NJ. C. a. circuit.
| 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
| T. IN he
| 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 We're among the
bingles gotten by Waverly Fitzgerald.
Moran. Becker and Tuohy drove out
had many assists. In fact. the scarcity
of those in the box score of each is
rather remarkable. kenilworth had
seven to its credit. while WaverIy had
only five.
| Naples allowed the Highlanders only
| four hits While pitching for the Holy
Name aggregation. His work was eX-
| 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
| against him.
| Despite the eight hits gotten by War
| off Owens of Agriculture. the former ag-
grega tion was unable to score a single
run Owens held the game we'll in hand
! all the way pitching easily the greatest
| part of the time. but tightening up when
ever it was necessary. Agriculture got
thirteen safe drives. three of its play
| ers getting three each. Culinan, Sproes-
| ser and McLarney We're 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 a mSplay charged against him,
| though Sproesser made one. Donnellys
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-auts, nine
| chances in all. and did not have a thing
! that looked like an error. Such neidlnS
as these three men did is extremely re-
markab BILE when il is considered that the
| dia mond 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 a consistently good
game for the Station team i'm 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 a perfect day
at bat. Three hits out of as 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
well he understood when it is stated
that though ten runs we're scored by
only four of the whole lot were earned
Stanley. pitching for the Methodists
against the BaptiStS. allowed only four
hits. He worked we'll that he got
a shut-out to his credit.
That race at Poughkeepsie yesterday
must have been one of the grandest
exhibitions ever given in event of
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-
eddy a remarkable performance.
That Columbia won is not big sur
prise, though it is questionable if many
thought it would do so. While the other
crews looked strong. and it was gener-
ally felt that Pennsylvania would be the
dark horse. it was also thought that
the real race would be between Cornell
and Columbia. But Pennsylvania step
ped. in and judging by the reports,
came very near giving the English
style of rowing another big boost. Co
lumbia was said to be the most finished
aggregation on the river even before
the beginning of the event. vet it was
