The hard rain Of yesterday afternoon
did not deter the wanderlusters from
their weekly outing. Following is the
Official" account, with plans for the
next hikes.

however, the weather man did the very
unkind thing of splitting few thou
sand or million bucketfuls of water
over everything. This did not damper
the enthusiasm, however, and by 4
o'clock. though drops Of rain were still
falling. nearly fifty had gathered at
the District line.
"De1ightful Half Hour"
TT was voted to proceed at least as
far as the Van Riswick place, where a
delightful half hour in a tour of in
vestigation through this deserted old
mansion was spent, from the basement

room on the fourth floor. There were
grapes, too, but they were sour. The
spacious rooms present quite con-
trast to the cramped condition of some
homes of today.
THE small party out last Wednesday
noted the much improved condition of
the corn. which at that time, immedi-
ately after the storm, looked practi-
cally ruined.
The walk from here on necessitated
keeping to the road, and after four
miles or so ended at Chevy Chase lake.
Future Programs.
"wednesday evening a stroll will be
taken through Soldiers Home Park,
leaving from the Eagle gate, the ter
minus Of the Soldiers Home car line, at

WITH PISTOL,
BOY KILLS HIS SISTER
Robert W. Reynolds, Ten Years Old,
Obtained Weapon During
Absence Of Parents.

Robert w. Reynolds, ten years old,
son of George W. Reynolds, conductor
on the Cabin John electric car line,
yesterday afternoon shot and instantly
killed his eight-year-old sister LII
liam with a revolver that he thought
was not loaded. He had handled the
weapon before, Coroner hewitt was in
formed, and yesterday he thought it
was in the condition it was on other
occa sions.
The tragedy occurred in bedroom at
the home of the Reynolds family, not
far from the Foxhall road crossing Of
the car line. Mrs. Reynolds left the
house only two or three minutes before
the tragedy occurred, going to the car
line to give her husband his dinner pail.
and it was about the time she reached
tho car line that the shooting hap
pened.
Hurries Child to Hospital.
Mr. Reynolds. notified of the shoot
ing. hurriedly turned his car over to
another conductor and ran home. He
picked up the wounded child and hur-
ried to Georgetown University Hos
pita1, where a physician informed him
that life was extinct
Coroner hewitt visited the Reynolds
home and made a careful investigation
of the shooting. He found that the
bullet had penetrated the little child s
heart and killed her almost instantly.
The coroner was told that the children
were left in the house by the mother,
who expected to return as soon as she
had handed her husband his dinner.
Mrs. Reynolds would not have been
away from home more than five or ten
minutes. the coroner was told, and had
not been away more than three minutes
when the accident occurred. Little Rob-
ert procured the weapon from the med
icine chest in the bathroom, where his
father kept it. he said and was exam
lining 1t when it was accidentally dis
charged.

Niehof and Cravath Lead Tn Hitting Into
 Major Double Plays

Each banged into 2f Figures of this kind were never. collected before, so no one can tell whether aITy new record was established

COLLEGE
 TRAINING TABLE
 ENTIRELY WRONG

Los Angeles, Gal, Feb. S-Training tables, as they are used in modern colleges, are not what they should be, according to DP. Herbert R. Sto1tz of the physical training departme ent of Stanford University, who is back at Stanford after completing a course at Oxford University, where he won his Oxford Blue on the famous Eng fish Rugby fifteen.
 Training as our athletes do it is not living the normal way" says Dr.. Stoltz. Thes training table is a, tra- ddtion to get away from at Stanford. What food suits one man does not suit another. One man may be able to eat meat all the time; another may not. One could eat apple pie; oth- CTS could not.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1868-Missouri State Legislature passed an act making prize-fighting for nancy punishable by imprison- ment for from six to twelve months, or a fine Of from $500 to $1,000- At this period St. Louis was a center for the pugilistic fraternity, and many big fights had been pulled off near that city. All the riff-raff of the town gathered at these bouts, which usually ended in a free-for-all rooAus, with pistols, knives and clubs as weapons. Such doings naturally gave the game a bad name in the Show-Me State, and the Solons passed a law agin it. 9 The fighting game continued to pros per in St. Louis for many years, in spite of the law, most of the battles being staged on islands in the Missis- sippi. Among the gIadiators who fig ured in these ferocious affairs were Tom Allen, Bill Davis, Mike McCooIe, Mike Donovan and others of lesser note.

AD wOLGAST, 27 TODAY, IS THE
 HARD LUCK KID

Adolph Wolgast, the Michigan wildcat who used to wear the light weight crown upon his dome, will eel ebrate his twenty-seventh birthday today. Ad was born in Cadillac, Mich Feb. s,188s, and he still resides in his native town, where he owns a prosperous farm. Between bouts the hard-hitting Dutchnan follows the blow and engages in other agricu1tu- ral activities. As champion Ad made his pile, and he has dragged down a number of big purses since then. He has no kick coming, financially speak ing, but in the matter of accidents he has certainly been the hard luck kid.
 It was his appendix that made Ad hit the toboggan. The Michigan wild cat looked good enough to hold the title for many years when, on the eve of his scheduled battle with Freddie Welsh in 1911, he was suddenly stricken with appendicitis and rushed off to a hospital for an operation. In his subsequent bouts his blows lacked their old steam and sting, and in the latter part of 1912 he lost the title to Willie Ritchie. Later he was defeated by Tommy Murhpy and Joe Azevedo, and it looked as if Ads scrapping days were over.

CornelPs Record In
 Rowing Is Remarkable

That CornelPs rowing record is phenomenal nearly every one who is interested in varsity crew races knows, but there are few who real ize just how marked that superiority is.
 The intercollegiate Rowing Asso- citation was organized in 1895, and held it's first regatta in Poughkeepsie in that year. In all. 55 races have been held by this association since its inception and Cornell has been victorious in 36. In other words, aI- though ten colleges have rowed un- der the auspices of the Intercollegiate Association at one time or another, Cornell has won two-thirds of all the victories.
 This record is due largely to Charles B. Courtney, the veteran Cor nell coach. Since the change in the stroke Cornell has stamped it's name on collegiate rowing records so in de1ibly that it will be years before it is superseded.
 Columbia and Wisconsin have fig ured as the contenders more often than any of the other crews, and it is because of Columbia's remarkable 1 string of second places, added to un- der the coaching of Jim Rice, that the Morningside Heights crew stands so high. Columbia won the var sity race in 1895 and 1914

WALTER CAMP AND. .HAUGHTON ENDORSE.
 NUMBERING OF MEN

New York, Feb s-At a meeting of the football rules committee held here Saturday a few minor changes were made in the regulations for next sea- son. The sentiment of. the delegates was in favor of numbering players and this view was endorsed by Coach IHaughton of Harvard and Walter laCmp of Yale. Although it was not ordered that the college elevens should number their men it is believed that Harvard and Yale will adopt the prac- tice next season, now that their rep | resentatives have come out in favor of it.
 The most important change provides that a forward pass out of bounds on l the last down gives the defensive side possession of the ball was put in play on the preceding down Gnstead of at the point at which it crossed the side | Hnes1. On the first, second or third down a forward pass out of. bounds pass and be brought back to the point of the preceding down, as in the case of the ordinary grounded pass. This change was made in order to prevent a team which had penetrated deep into an opponents territory, only to have it's advance checked, from | hurling the leather out of bounds on | the two or three yard line. This was done many times last year, until it be- came quite as much part of the tae- tics of the game as thep unt. The change was suggested by Percy D. tHaughton, of Harvard.
 It was also definitely decided that
 when an attacking player and AA defen- sive player make a. simultaneous catch of a forward pass the ball shall be awarded to the former. Further, if a ball, after being legally passed for ward, is caught by a player either In the end zone or near the side lines[at any point of the field, the position ot the players feet and not that of the ball shall determine whether or nol lit is a properly completed forward pass.
 That is to say, if a player whose feet are within the boundary line Icatches a ball which may be outside the field of play at the moment it is caught, the pass is legal. If, on the other hand, the ball be inside a full yard, but the players feet be out, 1t is not a legal pass.
 At the suggestion of Walter Camp
 which was supported by Percy D.
 Haughton and many others who have
 the interest of football at heart, the field judge was definitely restored Last year the choice of a field judge
 was made optional. It was proved however, that with the many situa-
 tfons arising from the forward pass
 and the unlimited possibilities of the
 Iinesman were overburdened.
 So the fourth official was ordered land it will be written in the rules.
