T a great deal of satisfaction over the selection of the officials of the league and team managers. The officers of league were chosen at a meeting held ‘ore the playing season opened, and are regarded as being fitted in every way for the es they occupy. Mr. Anthony isa, the brother of John Philip Sousa, master, was re-elected president, {' course. Although he has ign from the position several fellow officials would not hear of the proposition. Mr. Sousa has shown great executive ability, and his election, as well as the selection of the other off- cials, was unanimous, Mr. M Hazen, one of the gentlemen who made the District Commissioners’ t it was during its championship $s chosen vice president, and Mr. , the manager of the treasury team, times, retary, vice Mr. C.

Mr. House has been identified with local athlet- ics for some time, having managed the base ball and basket ball teams of the Infantry. He is popular, at the same time exacting discipline. He has been 2 member of the Infantry seven years, and is quartermaster sergeant. Mr. Thos. R. Roche, who will manage the Thos. J. Fisher, District Commissioners’ Office Team, Bureau of Engraving and Printing team, was born in Brooklyn and has been con- nected with athletics, especially base bail and rowing, for years. He was a member of the Brooklyn Athletic Club while in that city. He has been in Washington about ten years. He was a delegate to the Depart- mental League last year from the Bureau and was unanimously elected manager this season. He has the confidence of the en- tire team, who expect him to lead them to the top of the ladder. In Mr. Owen Kellar, the Treasury team has a manager who is one of the hardest workers in the organization. He 1s a na- tive of Ohio, but for eleven years has been empleyed in the treasury. Before coming Thos. F. Roche, Bureau of Engraving and Printing Team. here he played ball with the club of his town, Caldwell, Ohio. He also played with a number of teams throughout the state and gained a name as an infielder. Since the organization of the Departmental League Mr. Kellar has taken an active interest in its affairs. He assisted Dr. Young in the management of the team last year, but this 1 was asked to take the burden upon his own shoulders, Dr. Young ig obliged by business to resign. Mr. Kellar played right field with the team last season. The Fort Mye team is looked out for by Mr. Peter Johnson. Mr. Johnson organized the t last year and made such progress that he decided to apply for admtssion into the Departmental League. He has played in several military posts where he has been stationed, principally at Fort Nio- brara, Neb. He is a Swede and intends to go back to his native country soon, taking the facilities needed to introduce the Amer- ican national game there. Mr. Thomas J. Fisher will manage the team from the District Commissioners’ of- ice. He succeeded Mr. C. B. Hunt. He secured several new men who will gthen the team, and has been Instru- mental in bringing about a reorganization of the club. He has revived interest in the crganization and proved himself even at this early stage the man for the place. He will watch the playing of his men, and will endeavor to get the strongest combl- nation possible. ENGRAV S DID WELL. Near the Top at the son’s Clone. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing will be just as well represented this season in the Departmental League as they were last year, for the team that did battle yes- terday for the Bureau against the Treas- ury Department is a winner from the word go, and as soon as practice has begun to Pave its effects the team will be a hard one to heed off from the finish line. The ‘Treasury team cculd not bat Winkleman or Bernard, and that is the whole truth of the matter. Besides, Homiller was weak in the bex for tne money handlers, so that the money makers had an easy time with his delivery, winning the game In the first four innings. Nichols was put In for the Treas- ury in the fourth, and three runs were scored off his efforts. In the remaining in- ver, he allowed the heavy hit- ver the hill but two hits and no Will Be Bielaski, man make up an ir field that is going to be a stumblirg block to more than one ambi- McAuley, Madigan and Sprig- tious club this sezson. In the outfield, too, the team is strong, with Flaherty, Farrell and Harry Leach, the latter making some excellent catches yesterday. Winklervan pitched a very pretty game, being relieved by Bernard in the seventh. Bielaski, cor the Bureau, led with the stick, making a triple and a home run, while Leach got three singles. For the Treasury team, Maize made two out of the five hits ed by that teom. hanan, in certer, : fielded his place well. Both teams are charged with seven er- rors, but the game was a much more inter- esting one than the one of the day before between the Fort Myer and Light Infantry teams. In nine halves of innings the men were put out in almost one, two, three or- der, and the fieldirg in the infield was sharp at all times. A double play by Bie- laski, Macigan and Sprigman was the fea- ture of the geme. The Treasury wore neat uniforms of a light brcwr and maroon, while the Bureau wore gray and black, making a pretty combinetion. The attendance was very gocd, the Bu- reau having out a lerge crowd of rooters. Mr. Cas: t umpired, ard while one or two of hi sions were questioned, gave gene tion. The score: a | BUREAU E. ) 0.

NEW CYCLING TRACK Needs Little Work to Make It Ready for the Wheelmen. PREPARING FOR THE OPENING DAY Specia! Meeting of the Local L. A.W. GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS The work on the new international track on the Conduit road 1s progressing rapidly. The track has been practically completed, and needs but Ittle more work to put it in condition to receive a top surface upon which to ride. As has been stated in The Star, the track will be what is known as a depressed course, this style doing away with banking, and erabling a person to stand at any point outside the track and see the entire course. The work on the grand stand is being pushed, and it will b2 completed as soon as the track. The railroad track of the Great Falls road has been moved back thirty feet or mere from its original position, in order to give room for the location of the grand stand By next week a gang of men will be at work erecting a high board fence around the entire field. The top surface of the track will probably be put on next week, and the whole course rolled, so as to make the track almost as hard as concrete. The opening on Decoration day will be a great event, and the projectors of the en- terprise wil endeavor to make it a mem- orable affair. A brass band will be em- ployed, which will parade the streets of the city in the forenoon and play at the ‘park in the afternoon. Special souvenirs will be prepared for ths occasion and 4Jis- tributed among the people. ‘The Alteir Cyclists are up and doing with a will, and promise to wins promi- nence on the road and track this season. At a recent meeting of the club neat unt- forms were selected, and an order for their making was placed with Parker, Bridget & Company. The club will make their first appearance in uniform next Wednesday, for which day a run to Baltimore has been called. The fourth arnual strawberry run of the clib will be held just as soon as strawberries are plentiful. This event is leoked forward to with intense longing and much mouth watering by the food-loving wheelmen. Mr. J. Charles Jones has been appointed manager of the Altair base ball team,which is composed entirely of members of the Al- tair Cycle Club. Practice will be begun at an carly date. A crack battery is assured with Liewz. Britt behind the bat and Capt. Weaver ‘n_ the twirlers’ box. Manager Jone3 would be pleased to hear from teams of not too expert players, particularly from the Washington Road Club or the Queer Wheelmen. A special meeting of the local division of the League of American Wheelmen will be held Friday evening, May 15, at the club rooms of the Washington Road Club. This will be the first meeting of the league this year, and the object of calling the members together is to decide upon some detinite plan of procedure for work during the current year. It is also highly probable that at this meeting Chief Consul Robe son will announce the selection of officials complete the ccmplement of local offi- cers for the District division of the league. The officers to be appointed will consist of a vice consul and perhaps four or five local consuls for the various sections of the city. It is understood that these appoint- ments have been practically decided upon, the only thing remaining being the accept: ance of the parties selected. Among the Miles Cycle Corps things are progressing smoothly. The charges filed against Lieut. Frank Libbey by Capt. 5. H. Wiggin have been withdrawn. Follow: ing this up, Lieut. Libbey sent in his resig- nation to the company, and an election will be held shortly to fill the vacancy. This evening the annual meeting of the Capital Bi. Club will be held, which will be more interesting than usual, on account of the fact that officers will be elected to serve for the ensuing year. While most of the old officers will be re-elected, there will be some change in the present Ist. At the last meeting of the Washington Road Club Mr. Lee Herold was admitted to active membership. The Le Droit Park Wheelmen are shortly to appear in a brand rew uniform of tasty design. The club has decided to adopt a uniform, and the matter of adopting a suitable sult ts now pending. The Active Road Club will soon reor- ganize for the season. The club was in a fairly flourishing condition last year, but during the winter it went to pieces. The quarters of the Washington Road Club are not as desirable as some of the members want, and the question of secur- ing new quarters has been brought up. At the last meeting a committee was appoint- ed and given full power to secure quarters before the Ist of June. Last Sunday the game of ball at Spen- cerville, Md., between the Queer Wheel- men and the Washington Road Club team did not come off. The threatening weather had a good deal to do with it, although a majority of the former club took a spin over to Suitland, Md. “ WILL BE NOTABLE. The Coming Trip of Wheelmen to Baltimore. ‘The movement for a trip of united wheel- men of this city to Baltimore has assumed definite shape, and at a meeting held Wed- needay evening at 510 11th street, which wes attended by about fifty riders, it was decided to take the trip Sunday, June 7. Every wheelman present was heartily in favor of the plan, and judging from the erthusiasm displayed it is probable that be- tween®two hundred and three hundred riders will attend and help make the event a notable one In the history of the cycling fraternity of the District. Mr. Chas. H. Grace, the Heutenant of the cycling branch of the Eastern Athletic Club, was called upon to preside, while Mr. W. K. Larrimore was selected as secretary for the evening. The outline of the pro- posed trip was given, and Mr. Larrimore, who lad investigated the matter on hi own accord, reported that the cost of the trip on the special train would be $1.20 for the round trip, the special train to be made up of Royal Blue Line coaches, with plenty of baggage cars attached for the accommo- dation of wheels. It was the general belief that a lower rate ticket could be secured, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. W. H. Henshaw, R. R. Revill and W. K. Larri- Teore was appointed to investigate. The matter of entertainment in Baltimore Was next discussed, and the opinion of the Baltimore riders on the trip was given, in every case a hearty welcome being extend- ed to the local wheelmen. A committee to prepare the arrangements at the Baltimore end of the line was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Frank J. Wissner and W. K. Larri- more. It was also decided to’ have a suitable souvenir for the occasion, which would be pertty and attractive, and yet inexpensive. These souvenirs, according to the plans, are to be distributed not osly among the Washington delegation, but to the Balti- more wheelmen as a slight token of ap- preciation and commemorative of the trip. Messrs. W. H. Henshaw and L. O. Slack were appointed a committee to attend to the souvenirs. The action of the Commissioners in re- gard to the wheeling fraternity of the Dis- trict was discussed at length. The recent bicycle regulations, which are now being cnforced to the letter by the police force, were talked over. While some of the measures were received with approval, many of the regulations were condemned, and especially their arbitrary interpretation by the police force. A remedy was sug- gested in the formation of a United Wheel- men’s Association, similar to that suggest- ed by The Star a few weeks ago. By or- ganizing the wheelmen could not only combat the regulation unjustly affecting them, but have enforced the laws passed for their benefit. An illustration of the need of such an as- sociation was furnished to the meeting. The wheels of the members were stacked on the outside, and while in the midst of a discussion, a gentleman opened the door and made the announcement that some one was stealing a wheel. The bicyclists ran out, and the thief was captured. He proved to be a middle-aged white man, and when fcund was leading a wheel up the street. He told such a number of conflicting stories that every one was convinced of his guilt, Carpets Insured While in Our Care! nly Fire Proof Cleaning Works in Washington. | 630-63 Carpets Subjected to Our Superior Dry-Air Process Have all Germs and Dust Removed From Them and are THOROUGHLY CLEANED, Prices most reasonable consistent with the good quality of our work.

There was a clear case of larceny against him, and a half a dozen witnesses were summoned to appear in court. They appeared on time ready to give their testimony, but the case did not come up. It was found that the assistant district attorney had entered a nolle prosequi in the case, and had directed the issuing of an order for the return of the wheel to its owner. The witnesses were indignant, and calling on Mr. Birney, the district attorney, demanded the rearrest of the man and the proceeding of a trial. A committee on permanent organization was appointed, consisting of members from all sections of the city. This committee consists of Messrs. R. R. Revill, Thomas Pollock, R. W. Emmons, Fred L. Vogt, L. O. Slack and R. LB. Posey. This committee will hold a meeting Monday evening at 5 o'clock at the headquarters of the Eastern Athletic Club, at 909 Sth street southeast. The next meeting to further the project of the Baltimore trip will be held on Wednes- day evening at the same place. COLUMBIAN'S ATHLETES. The Team That Will Be Sent to Berkeley Oval. Columbian University has practically completed the team that will be sent to Berkeley Oval to compete in the annual intercollegiate games. The team will prob- ably consist of Manager Edgar C. Camp- bell, who will enter in the one-hundred- yards dash; Capt. Charles Cabrera, who will go In the four-hundred@-and-forty-yards run; Fred. Schade, who will participate in the one and three-mile bicycle races; F. L. May, who will enter the one-mile walk, and Frank Emmons, who -will be in the pole-vaulting contest. This team represents the best athletes of the university. Manager Campbell has a record of 102-5 for one hundred yards; Capt. Cabrera can run the quarter mile in a fraction over fifty-one seconds; L. Edgar C. Campbell, Columbian University Manager. May, who will probably go in the one-mile walk, has had no training at all this sea- son, and enters the contest this afternoon on Georgetown field without any training whatever. Should he develop any speed he will undoubtedly be sent. He has a record for the mile walk of something less than seven seconds. Emmons, in the pole-vaulting contest, is regarded as an excellent man, and it is claimed that he has vaulted a height of over ten feét five Inches. Schade is a sure man in the bi- cycle races, and he will undoubtedly cap- ture the two first In the one and three-mile races, making at least ten points that Co- lumbian will secure for an almost certainty out of a total of 135 points for the entire meet. At the meet of the American Intezcol- legiate Athletic Association last year J. B. Crum of the University of Iowa won the hundred-yards run in ten seconds and the two-hundred-and-twenty yards in twen- Fred. Schade Columbian Unive: ty-two seconds. The quarter-mile run was won by W.

Bremer of Harvard, the time being 243-5 seconds. F. C. Thrall of Yale came ahead at the finish in the one-mile walk, his time be- ing 7:033-5, while L. P. Sheldon of the same college won the running long jump in clearing 22 feet 8% inches. The running high jump was won by N. T. Liesler of the University of Pennsyl- vania, who cleared 5 feet 113-4 W. 0. Hickok put the sixteen-pc 2 feet 11% inches, and threw the pound hammer 1:5 feet 7% inches, both events. The pole-vaulting was won by C. 'T. Buck- holz of the University of Pennsylvania, who vaulted 11 feet 23-4 inches. Only one bicycle race was held, and that a two-mile event, which was won by R. E. Manley of Swarthmore College, whose time was 6:00 3-3. GEORGETOWN'S ATHLETES. Blue and Gray's Representatives in the Intercollegiate Games. Never in the past has Georgetown Uni- versity had such opportunities for attain- ing glory in the intercollegiate sports. Her runners for the past season have been un- der the dir€ction of a competent trair and are in the best condition. Last year at Mott Haven, with the exception of the brilliant performances of California's and Iowa’s athletes, the colleges took the places which were generally conceded to them by the public. This year, however, the result | is looked on as doubtful, and, owing to/ the loss of many athletes in the larger | colleges, Georgetown is looked upon being one of the probably su 1 con- ants.

For the first time this season the George- town University nine has played no game during the week, Manager O'Brien being unable to fill the days when the schedule was first made out. The date for today was afterward filled, and a game arranged with Fordham College. The Georgetown boys left this morning for New York, and will return this evening. Next week Georgetown has three good games to be played on the local grounds. The first game will be played Tuesday af- ternoon with Cornell University. Friday and Saturday afternoons games are ar- ranged with the strong team of the Uni- versity of Virginia, on the result of which will depend the championship of the south for the year. Virginia has an unusually strong nine this year, as was eviden‘ed by the close playing with the Boston League team while at Charlottesville, Va. The Gallaudet team this week played cnly one game, and that with the Catholic Uni- versity. This afternoon they play the Epis- copal High School at Alexandria. Next Wednesday afternoon they play Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, and May 16 are scheduled to play the Hagerstown Ath- letic Club nine at Hagerstown, Md. The Maryland Agricultural College team played a game Wednesday with the team from Johns Hopkins University, losing it. ‘This afternoon they play at Ellicott City, ‘Md. No more games are on hand until next Saturday, when they visit Baltimore and play with the strong team from Balti- more City College. WON BY MR. HAN AL n the Washington Club Chess Tourney. Mr. E. P. Hanna has won first prize in the match tournament at the Washington Chess Club. He defeated Mr. D. A. Usina in the fifth game of their maich, and thus won by the score of 3 to 0 and two draws. Mr. Usina had the best of the game and was two pawns ahead on his thirty-fourth move. Mr. Hanna, however, outplayed him in the end game. There were chances for First Prize a draw, which Mr. Usina did not avail himself of. The sc follows: E.P.Hanna (White.)

Ameng those defeat- ed was Mr. F. M. Wright, the champion of the District. Mr. Hanna does not thereby become champion, as that title was not in- volved in the present tourrament. An- nouncement to that effect was distinctly made at its start. Mr. Wright fairly won the title of champion in the Libbey eup contests, and will be entitled to hold the same until he is defeated in a match therefor. He has announced his_ retire- ment from ordinary tcurnament play, but states that he will be ready to play a match next winter for the championship, the winner to win at least five games. Of course, the Libbey cup would not be in- volved in the match, as that !s his personal Property, under the terms of the cup tour- raments. It is not yet determined who will win the second and third prizes in the tournament. Mr. Usina was eligible for second prize, but has withdrawn from the tournament because of a lack of time. The only eli- sibles remaining for that prize are F. B. Walker, bye; and L. Tharp and R. Ott in whose match the score stands 5 to 4 and 1 draw, in favor of Otte. In the third prize class, Capt. O'Farrell has withdrawn, making the fourth person to drop out voluntarily, as against one player who has been dropped by losing three matchas. Messrs. Gichner and Gwyer have played three games in their match, the sccre being 2 to 1 in favor of Gwyer. Tibbetts is a bye in this class. Mr. E. P. Hanna came out ahead in the rapid transit knock-out chess tournament at the Capital Bicycle Clud last week. Sat- urday evening he defeated in turn Capt. J. P. Walker and J. S. Martin, jr., who bad come out of Friday night’s contest with- out a defeat. Mr. J. E. Macfarland of the Capital Bi- cle Club has gone into the ficld in con- rectiun with geological survey work. On his return, about a month hence, a friend- ly team match at chess will probably be ple cen the Washington Chess and pital Bicycle clubs.

Conneff, the well- known athlete, will become a student at Georgetown University. Conneff endeavor- ed to secure admission this year, but for some reason failed. It is understood that he will take either a course in law or medi- cine. While nothing is stated by the au- thorities of Georgetown University, the state- ment has been made by one of the prefects, who Is acquainted with Conneff, that he will enter Georgetown next fall. It was his intention to join either Georgetown or the University of Pennsylvania, though all along ke has expressed preference for Georgetown. Conneff is one of the leading long-distance runners in the country. He holds a number of American records and several world’s records. His time of 4. for a mile run, made in New York city on August 28 of last year, is a world’s record. He also holds the world’s record for 1, yards, tim .07, made at Cambridge, \ August Another of his records, which still ands against the world, is 4-5 for a mile and a quarter run, and his mile and a half run, made September 2, 1845, in 6.46 2-5, Is another world’s record. He made this run at Bergen Point, September 4, 1s in the fast time of 17. In 1891 he held the champlonship for the mle run for t year, his time being 4.30 3- For 188s, 138, 1800 and 1891 he held the amateur five-mi run record, his best tim or any of the: championships being 4-5. In the Metropolitan Division of the Amateur Ath- letic Union he won a number of champion- ships, holding the record for 1895, under the colors of the New York Athletic Club, in 4.44 2-5. He held the record in the same while in union for 1893, his time being 4 1891 he keld the record again, his time be- ing 4.26 3-5. In the same union he held the five-mile run record for ISM, in 26.22, and again in 1893 he won the champion with his time at 25.45 3-5 He held the Canadian amateur champion- ship for the one-mile run in ISSS, his time being 4.32 4-5. He held the Canadian two- mile run championship for 1SSs, time 10.10: again in 1S), time 0.34 3 1sv1, time 9.58 1-5. With Wefers as the champion short-dis- tance runner, and Conneff as the jong-dis tance runner, Georgetown will have a team of record breakers, and men who will be bound to keep the name of the university always prominent. The athletic association of Georgetown has nothing to say regarding the coming of Conneff, but nevertheless all feel that in the next scholastic year he will be hunting for records under the colors of the blue and gray. J. D. Delaney, one of the best quarter mile runners at Georgetown, who was en- tered for the dual meet this afternoon, in a number of events, did not run, owing to action taken by the faculty. hip Gilbert is Champion Gunner. Fred. Gilbert of Spirit Lake, Iowa, won the title of champion target shot of Amer- ica at the initial clay pigeon championship tournament which was concluded at Gut- tenberg, N. J., yesterday afternoon. Gil- bert broke 266 out of a possible 300 fiying targets, defeating E. D. Fulford of Uti N. Y., and J. A. R.
