GENERAL OFFICE,

while the Emmanuel club is trailing
with but two players in the honored
roll.
Shugrue's mark in fielding with
seventeen chances is exceptionally
good considering that he is the leading
swatter, but to Minns of the Marine
club falls the honors in this depart
ment. The big doorkeeper of the sea
soldiers has handled fifty-four chances
in six games without a slip up and
from the way these seamen slam the
pill across the diamond his mark Is
excellent.
Charley Beard. Of the Maclnnists
Club, who was selected to guard the
club is given second honors as he
has accepted forty-five chances with
out a miscue, while little Johnny Fits-
gerald the sorrel-top receiver of the
Rosedale club, Is next best at hand
ling the horse hide, having taken care
of thirty-five chances. T. Rector,-the
catcher of the Kellers, and his team
mate Mortimer who plays in the short
field position, follow in the order
named.
Following closely on the heels Of
the mark of Johnny Shugrue comes
Michael J. Moran, captain of that
lowly Rosedale club from Northeast
circuit. Mike, as he is best known by
the local sandlot fans, has clouted the
ball for a .619 mark in six games His
timely drives and long swats have
been big factor in the brilliant show

CAPITAL CANOEISTS
Make GOOD Showing
Four-man Team from Washington
Canoe Club Features Big Regatta
at Sugar Island

With a team of four men. composed of
Commodore William A. Rogers, Vice
Commodore James Burch. Reginald
Rutherford and Charles H Wagner, the
Washington Canoe Club succeeded in
adding four firsts, six seconds and four
third places to its string of trophies for
this season at the American Canoe Asso-
citation regatta at Sugar Island. This was
in spite of the fact that the men were
required to use canoes of an unfamiliar
type and in some of the races double
blade paddles, which are seldom seen on
the Potomac.
There are two classes of competition
at Sugar Island. the racing class and the
cruising class. and competitors are per-
mitted to enter only in one class during
the meet which covers about two weeks.
For this reason the team split, Rogers
and Wagner taking the cruising class
events and Rutherford and Burch COM
peting in the racing class.
In the fitting contest Rutherford and
Burch defeated Rogers and Wagner in
the finals after a series of spirited bouts.
There were nine crews in this event and
the showing of the Washington lads was
a surprise to the spectators and them
selves. The canoes used were very mar
row and unsteady.
On the following day Burch and Ruth
ly. in the racing class singles with Ire
land. one of the Canadian champions
from Toronto, first. In the next event
Wagner took an easy first in the cruising
class single blades. Ireland and Quick
of Toronto, Canada. won the single
blades doubles half-mile race from Ruth
erford and Burch by a scant ten feet
the losers having delayed their sprint
too long. The cruising class single
dn,rh1 rasr
Wagner winners by a comfortable mar
gin. Burch doubled with Colby. of the
Delaware Canoe Club of Buffalo, y. Y.
in the double-blade race which followed.
but bowed in defeat to Ireland and
Quick. the Canadian cracks. The one
man double-blade half-mile in the racing
class was won by Ireland, with Colby
second and Burch third.
The tandem double blades in the cruis-
ing class was won by Capes and Schoppe,.I
of the Wyona Canoe Club, with Wagner
and Rogers a close second. On the fol- |
lowing morning Ireland won the one
mile double-b blades trophy race with |
Burch second and Colby third. The club |
fours, the final event for three of the |
Washington boys. was won by the !
Canoe Club, which took the |
lead and held it for the entire half mile |
Wagner stayed over in order to take |
part in the wilderness cruise for which |
there are two handsome trophies Of |

One very interesting incident which oc- !

An Old Sharkey Story.

Somewhere in the long ago We read
of the many stories that had to do
with miserliness of Tom Sharkey. the
war horse" of the ring in the less
recent days of pugilism. 1t was re-
vived the other day. although the re-
viver made a local citizen the hero
or villain-of the yarn.
The original warn ran this way:
Sharkey and a friend were walking
along Fourteenth street in New York
one night when human derelict
blocked their path.
Say bo," he said to Sharkey. I'm
down and out Will you give me 10
cents for a bed?
Lets see the bed" asked the eau
tious Sharkey.
