A foot ball team is being organized at the Catholic University, and it is expected that a strong eleven will be on the grid- iron to contest with local teams in a few weeks. The registrar of the university is at the head of the movement, and says that there is material enough among the students for a good team, and one which will be’a surprise to some of the locals. The Howard University foot ball team is doing hard practice work daily, and will meet an eleven from Princeton at an early date. A game ts also pending with the Pennington Seminary eleven of Penning- ton, N.J. President De Reef of the athletic association would like to make dates for contests with local teams.

Jones, right end: Holmes, quarter back; Rapier, right half back; Coffee, left half back; Finley, full back. The officers of the athletic associa- ticn are G. H. De Reef, president; W. T. Nelson, vice president; B. S. Jackson, sec- retary; J. T. Gillam, treasurer. Driscoll received an ovation on his re- turn to Gecrgetown College from the inter- ccllegiate tennis tournament, where he won second rank.

The Columbian College eleven has a series of games arranged with the various High School teams of the city, and also with the Gallaudets. The Columbian line- up has been published heretofore. The bicycle men are trying to organize a bicycle team, and think they will soon have a good one in the field. Considerable difficulty has been experi- enced in securing a suitable ground for the foot ball games. Local Fire.

INCREASED INTEREST IN WAIST _—- Chess Players Watching the Buda Pesth Games. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES While the new college foot ball rules more precisely define the duties of the officials and limit their power as far as possible, there is plenty of room for improvement in the game. The fault lies mostly with the officials. A poor choice in selecting ref- erees and umpires is likely to be the cause of trouble. Often the officials are biased one way or the other, and their favoritism Injures the game. While it may appear to be a bold assertion, the number of persons in this city thoroughly acquainted with foot ball is very limited when the number of players and enthusiasts is taken into consideration. This city has fortunately had little to complain of in the big games, concerning the partiality or the inefficiency of the of- ficlals. In the smaller games, however, there is considerable protesting. Though a good deal of the objection may be un- founded, there is some for which there js sufficient cause. The flagrant abuses of the officials’ positions have given rise to the suggestion that a set of referees and um- pires who are qualified for their position by being free from any bias be appointed to act on all occasions. College Teams, As Harvard, Yale and Cornell may play in this city during the coming season, it is perhaps well to give a review of the teams and composition and condition of the men. Yale's team this year will probably consist of Fred. Murphy, tackle; Louis Henkey, end; Lyman Bass, end; Charlle Chadwick, suard; James Rogers, tackle, and Clarence Finekie, quarter. These are the men who played ‘on the team last year, and their positions are assured. The remainder of the team will be filled from among the ranks of the fifty odd men who are candi dates for honors on th» gridiron. In her games so far Yale has not done any extra brilliant work. Bucking the center and ploys around the end ere the only methods scen so far in the practice, which 1s daily witnessed by many people. The revolving wedge and the “criss-cross” have proved to be of little use against such teams as the leading colleges put in the fleld. The biggest game on the schedule so far 1s for November 21, with Princeton, at New York. Harvard, while playing a fairly good geme, is weak at the ends and tackle. Lewis, one of the new players, has made an excellent showing, having great vitality and admirable tackling. He follows the bell surely and closely. Cochrane, the quarter back, another new man, has shown up well, though he is disabled for several weeks, The other men on the team are showing up fairly well. Lewis and Gray- don wili be given left and right ends. Swain and Mills, as tackles, do not come up to the sta-dard. The positions of guards, the full backs and the half backs are well filled. Cornell's team this year will make a good showing, and the line will be heavier than tsual. ‘The most uncertain position at present is the quarter-back, though the fault of the whole team is their fumbling and slow playing. Hard practice was be- gun this week, with Sarford, Kelly and Schoch doing the coaching. Other old play- ers are expected back to help coach for the Harvard game, and at present the proa- pects are good for a strong team playing fast and aggressive ball. Local Clubs. The local foot ball world has been quict during the week and comparatively Ittle work was dore. The Gallaudets and the Eastern High School met for a second time, and the High School boys suffered their second defeat of the season, after earning a hard fought victory over the Maryland Agricultural College eleven. So far this season the Gallaudets lead the procession in Iccal foot ball. They have won three games and lost none. The Eastern High School has won one game and lost three. ‘The Central High School and the Maryland Agricultural College have each lost one game. These, however, are the early clubs in the field and by the end of the season the showing made will be different. The line-up of the Columbia Athletic Club eleven has almost been made up. Mike Urderwood will undoubtedly play center. Hickox will probably be left tackle and C. A. Macgowan left tackle. Walsh will most likely hold up the left end, and ro man has yet been named for the right end. Jack Shields will probably pe fuil back, Maupin right half back and Hooker left half. Lewis is also a candidate for right half. Carson, who has played on the club for several seasons past, is a candidate for quarter back and Magee is after the same honor. Fred Sims will probably be put in to fill right end, taking the place of Phil Wisner, who is unable to play this season. The other cardidates for the team are Driscoll, Lunsford, Sam Macgowen, Saun- ders, Humphrey, Slocum and 8. and C. A. Aviles. The men are practicing every afterncon at Columbia Field and will prob- ably be in trim for organization in a short while. Columbian College will have a team this year, and they played a practice game yes- terday afternoon at National Park with the eleven of the Business High School, this being the first game of the latter ck Fugitt ts at Li high and is a candidate for half back cn and capteined the team. the team of thet college. E. Kendall ©: ter has been elected manager, and Car- roll Fugitt, captain. The line up of the team for the season will provably be: Owens, right end; Green, right tackle; Cummings, right guard, Harlan, center; Loucks, left guard; Beard, left tackle. Kelly, left end; Fugitt, right half back Falls, left half back; Beall, quarter tack, and Weaver, full back: The ‘team will shortly hold a meeting and make an or- ganization for the season.

The whist committee of the Colunbia Athletic Club held a meeting last Saturday evening and again discussed plans for the winter. It was decided to change the regu- lar whist night to~ Wednesday evening of each week. Compass whist will hereafter be played on that evening, and individual scores will be kept. After the meeting two fours played a match of twenty-four hands, resulting ar follows: ‘Team No. 1—Goodale, Swearingen, Walls and oo No. 2—Jackson, Taliaferro, Safford and Fe. 2845 67 8 No.1.

Apparently there are not over two or three @icks for north and south in the cards, but as played they capture the odd trick. This was brought about by rorth playing a waiting game, allowing his opponents to lead trumps three times before playing the ace, thus enabling him to make four out of five of his remaining diamonds. The north hand will be found in the first column under north, the east harid in the second col- umn, and so on. South dealt and turned the five of hearts.) The asterisk indicates the winner of the trick, and the card di- rectly beneath it was next played.

A four, consisting ‘of Messrs. Martin. Behrends. Lee and Walker, defeat- ed Messrs. Kane, Finn, Tibbetts and Knight by one trick in eight hands, the to- tal gains being 2 to 1. A change of part- ners was made in the next eight tricks, and Messrs. Kane, Finn, Martin and Beh- rends won by seven tricks from Lee, Wal- ker, Tibbetts and Knight. The total gains were 9 to 2. Whist will be again played at the Chess Club tonight, and non-members are Invited to participate. At the Columbia Athletic Club Wednes- day evening four pairs played eight hands with each other pair, the results being as follows: Wooten and Jackson, plus 2; Hampton and Barnard and Safford and Swearingen, even, anf Walls and Briscow, 2 minus. Hereafter on Wednesday even- ngs compass whist will be played. Because of the change in the whist night at the Columbia Athletic Club, Dr. Walls’ whist night at home will be Tuesday even- Ing hereafter. Mr. Gibson, president of the Manufac- turers’ Club of Philadelphia, and whist writer for the official organ of that club, was in the city the past week. On Wed- nesday evening, at the C. Bi. C., he made top score, viz.: 6.75 plus. At the Capital Bicycle Club, Wednesday evening, four teams of fours contested twenty-four hands, playing elght hands against each other team, and changes in pairs being made every eight hands. The teams were as follows: A, Henry, Harmon, Cooper, Myers; B, w, Barrick, Carr, Stearns; C, Prince, Fogg, Gibson, Wirt: D, Dr. Hills, Hoeke, Barnes, Coston. The match was played in rounds of eight hands, and resulted as follows: Ist 24 3d Total. 2 plus = 2 migns 5 minus 5 minus 2 plus 3 plus 4 pins plus 1 plus = 2 plus = plus 8 plus Sminus 3 minus 4 minue 12 winus In the compass whist contest at the C.

These are all plus scores. The result of the New York-Philadelphia match, as stated In these columns, was a victory for the short-suiters. The match was won on its merits. The total score of tricks was 29 to 21. This evening the Park Club of Philadelphia will try to carry oft the trophy from the New Yorks. ALL EYES ON BUDA PESTH. Interest of Local Chess Players in the Tourney of the Experts. At the Washington Chess Club the subject of politics 1s nearly as much discussed as that of chess. The friends of gold and sil- ver, too, are nearly evenly divided. The tournament to begin next month ts seldom mentioned. No entries have yet been made for it. The members are taking a great eal of interest in the Brooklyn-Washing- ton correspondence games, the positions in which are becoming dore interesting. The ‘ccal club has won 4 pawn in one game, with prospects of winning another. A good deal of interest is taken in the Buda Pesth tournament, but it is principal- ly centered in Pillsbury. He ts but one-half game behind Winawex, the leader. As this is written he has only four games more to play, and he will need to win most of them to secure first place. He has yet to contest with Winawer, Waltrodt, Charousek and Tarrasch, any one of whom may take a game from him. Winawer has shown un- vsual strength thus far, and is again show- Ing the form of fifteen or more years ago. At Nuremberg he appeared to be out- classed. He ts now ahead. His remaining contestants are Tschigorin, Walbrodt, Cha- reusek and Pillsbury. Tschigorin is a close rival for first honors. He has yet to play Winawer, Tarrasch, Albin, Schlechter and Maroczy. -Charousek 1s a Close fourth, and he may finish ahead of one of those previ- cusly mentioned. The same fs true of Jan- owski, who stands fifth. The poor scores made by Maroczy and Tarrasch are sur- prising. The Brooklyn Chess Club has held its an- nual meeting and has re-elected Mr. Ma- rean president for the coming year. A eard of officers and directors were elected who are entirely in sympathy with him. As will be remembered, Mr. Marlean and seven of the directors resigned last spring, be- cause of a newspaper article alleged to have teen published by one of the directors, who Was sustained by the board. The present action of the club is in the nature of a vin- dication of Mr. Marean. The club has also decided to accept the challenge of the British Chess Club for an- other cable match, and has appointed a committee to arrange the details. The club also appointed a new chairman of its correspondence committee, Mr. Stan- ley H. Chadwick, and he appears to be in charge of the Brooklyn end of the corres- pondence games with the Washington club, having succeeded Mr. H. Helms, who won the club championship for two successive years. The solution to the problem by Dr. R. J. Southworth, mentioned in last Saturday's Star, is as follows: 1. KtxP; P moves. 2. B-R6; P moves. 3. Q-R2; P moves. 4. K- K3; K moves. 5. K-K4; K moves. 0. K-Q5; K-Q3. It will be seen that ali 8 are forced, and the posi- ticns of the kings are transposed. Mr. Julius Hall of Baltimore was at the chess club Thursday, and played several games with Mr. Watson. Chess Masters’ Tournament. The ninth round of the International chess masters’ tournament was played at Buda Pesth yesterday. Following are the results: Pillsbury beat Walbrodt in a queen's gam- Lit declined, after forty-two moves. The game between Winawer and Tschi- gorin, a Ruy Lopez, was adjourned after forty-elght moves. = Tarrasch beat Janowski in a Vienna game, after thirty-one moves. Albin beat Marco in a Gjuoco Piano, after fifty-seven moves. ‘The game between Schlechter and Noa, a French defense, was adjourned after forty- four moves. Maroczy beat Popiel in a four knights’ game, after fifty-four moves. Charousek had a bye. Departmental League Hop. The Departmental Base Ball League will hold a meeting at the Washington Light Infantry armory -tonight at 7:30 o'clock to make arrangements for the entertainment and hop to be given hy the league October ww.

It is intended to make the affair a@ memorable one in-the annals of the league, and as part of the regular program of the evening the trophies won during the base ball season will be presented to the winners. —_«;—_ Tennis Tournaments. In the tennis tournament for the District championship ofly {two matches were played, and they,,wefe in the consolation class. Metcalf beat T: C. Wilson 60, 6-1. Metcalf beat J. S;/Davidson 6-1, 6-3. Owing to the illness of Driscoll it was found imposstble to play in the doubles yes- terday. The winners in the Driscoll-Good- fellow and Metcalf-Geoghegan’ match will meet McMahon and Tobin in the finals. — Gasoline Explosion. The explosion of a gasoline stove caused 3ome excitement in the house of James McMillan, No. 1918 K street, yesterday afternoon. The occupants of the house ex- tinguished the flames before any damage was done. —_-—_. Brick Trust at Chicago. A brick trust in Chicago is among the probabilities. Several of the largest firms in the city are reported as promoting the scheme. Seventy of the firms in Chicago have, it is said, signified their willingness to enter the deal, and a call for a meeting next week has been issued.
