opponents he would like to meet before

They are Johnny Dundee. Charley White.

According to Harry Pollok. Welsh's s

started training in New York last Mon-

seems as II Pollok is certain Welsh can
defend his laurels successfully in the
four matches mentioned. He may be a
surprised man after a bout with either
Dundee or White. as Jumping Johnny

Capital Celts Organize Hurting Club;
First Match Will Be Played Today
Ancient and Honorable Game
of Old Ireland Will Be Intro
duced to Washingtonians.
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Messrs. Healey and Curtin Head New
Club Called the Washing
ton Rovers.

The ancient and honorable game OF
hurting vii! be introduced in the Ma
tional Capital this afternoon when an
exhibition match is planned between
members of the recently formed Wash
ington Rovers Hurting Club.
Some twenty-five years ago this game
was played by a band of hardy Celts,
but little interest was shown and the
sport died natural death.
This time the game will be revived
for keeps and the officers of the new
club declare to a man that In few
months hurting will not only be placed
on the list of sports Tor Capital folk.
but will be given plenty of space in the
Washington newspapers. for when a
bunch OF determined Irishmen get to-
gethcr and plan to put something over.
that something usually goes over with
rush.

of a plot of ground in Potomac Park

and goal posts erected The exhibition

at o'clock
The game of hurting is one of the old
est sports of which the Emerald Isle
can boast and matches i'll Dublin and
other big cities attract crowds of 1000
or more TO this day.
Hurting is something on the order
of "shinney," but played on field
marked out like football gridiron. A
leather-covered hall slightly smaller
than the regulation English cricket
ball is used. the ''hurlies' or sticks
are similar TO ice hockey clubs. and
there is always plenty of action guar
anteed the spectator.
President HeaIey, of the Washington
Rovers. has received a set of twenty
sticks from Dublin. Ireland. also a
supply of hurley balls. and although
the regulation team is composed OF
fourteen players on a side. ten can
play tn" game.
President Healey and Vice President
Curtin announce that the membership
of the Washington Rovers is open to
all who may wish to join, and ur-
gent appeal is sent out to all true
hearted Irishmen to he present at to-
days match and for a nominal fee
join the club.
The present plans of the club in
clude weekly matches between various
teams selected from the big list of
members expected to be enrolled and
eventually to choose an all star team
for the purpose of challenging some
of the crack hurling teams in Phila-
delphia. New York. Boston. and other
big Northern cities.
1t is believed that there are hun
drCds Of IeTSons in Washington who
will ne glad to patronize hurling and
who viii he only too glad to add their
names to the mem bership of the newly
formed club. and it is hoped that big
