Last year he ren- dered valuable and efficient service to the team, and was one of its heavy mainstays in almost every game. He was selected for the position of captain this year on account of his ability as a foot ball player and for his judgment and coolness on the field. The Central team is not so strong this year as it has been in former years, on count of many of its best men leaving the school and, of course, the team. Of the men who played on last year’s cham- nship team, Oyster, Shuster, Paschal, Barnard and Mueden will remain, will form rather a strong combina- ball devotees fri y having no spec . but simply a de- ame put up by the | there will be four high tern and at an eleven been formed re is more of some de- ess as it is at the Cen- d the contests between will be just as inter- and a as hotly contested as the becween Central and Eastern teams ecn in the past. young ladies at the four schools * taking as much interest in the pproaching the boys themselves, and many plans are being made for lunches and entertainments and similar means for sing revenue and to the ne travel ar upply the teams with nds to enable and meet other © the High School League.

Mueden enters upon his second year on the team. He plays right guard S. Maupin. and weighs 150 po Phil Ballinger tips the scale at 155 and plays right tackle, this being his first year on the team. H. Caldwell plays for the second year, and will endeavor to stop gains around the right end. He weighs 150 pounds. Another candidate for right end is Sam Bogan, who will also enter upon his second year of play with the team, and who weighs 135 pounds. Hunter, also a new one, is a can- didate for the place of right tackle. He weighs 160 pounds and has the advantage of five pounds over Ballinger for that place. Sherman Bristow will play left end, and at 150 pounds should be able to hold up his portion of the line. Blackiston, at 158 pounds, will play left guard. This is the first year on the team for both these play- ers. Rolland Ellis, who will also play for the first time, will Le given _a chance at the position of quarierback. He we ghs 135, is light and active on his feet and is show. ing up well in practice. Howard Shuster, a veteran, will act as one of the halves, prob- ably left half. He weighs 150 and is fleet of foot and a fine line hitter. The other half will be George Curtis, a first-year player, who weighs 150 pounds. Guy Oys- ter, the captain of the team, will play full back and will be intrusted with the highly enjoyable task of hitting the line whenever opportunity offers, at which occupation he particularly excels. He weighs 160 pounds. Thorpe, a first-vear player, with a weight of 18) pounds, is also a candidate for a position as guard. The substitutes are Jose Underwood, Ernest Dixon and Saffold. Ellis, of all the new men, has the hardest work, as he is obliged to fill the place at quarter made vacant by Jolly’s leaving school. His passing and tacking, however, are worthy of special note. George Cur- tis, the new man at right half, is the all- round champion athlete of tre high schools. He has the sufficiency of nerve necessary to a foot ball player’s success, and will prove a valuable acquisition to the team. Another player that is looked upon as val- uable is Bristow, at the end. He plays in practice like a veteran. Blackiston, at guard, gained some experience last year with a foot ball team at the Western High School. ‘The Central team, will play some out- side teams, games having been arran, for with the Maryland Agricultural.

He has always taken the greatest possible interest in athletics of every description, and his advice is often productive of the most bene- ficfal results. nds. Easterns. ‘The team that will represent the Eastern school will, in the opinion of those who have seen the practice work indulged in so far this season, be stronger than it has been for scme time past. An item in its favor is the return of 8. Maupin, who cap- tained last year’s team so efficiently and who has been selected for that position this year. Mr. Maupin is one of the coolest gt all the High School players on the fie’*, ‘uring the most exciting part of a ~ and this judgment has stood on more than one occasion. in F794 “stead A‘aded to this he is a brilliant player himself, and never fails to do his share toward bringing suc- cess to his team. The business interests of the team are looked after by Mr, Anzi Smith, jr., who is closely identified with all forms of athletics at the Eastern school, having managed the base ball team last season and connected with all the track and field meets in which his school has entered. The team itself will have six of its old men back—S. Maupin, Jerry Maupin, Hoover, Fivans, Licarione and Shell. Jerry Maupin, at left end, weighs 161 pounds, and puts up a splendid game. Licarione, 154 pounds, will play left tackle, and Evans, at 160, wil Ihold down the center of the line. Both of these men played at tackle on last year’s team. Captain Maupin weighs 155 pounds and plays right end. His position last year was at the half. Snell wil! play fullback. He weighs 165 pounds, and some information may be gained of his mode of play from the fact that he is playing that position this season for the Columbia Ath- letic Club foot ball team. Bliss at lett guard, although a new man to the team, played tackle last year on the Capitols. His weight is 155 pounds. Capman, right tackle, is also new to the team, but not. to the foot ball field, having played end last year on the Bethel Military Academy team. He weighs 170 pounds. Worsley, the new left half, comes to this city from Provi- Anzi Smith, Jr. ence, R. I, where»he played on the high ool team of that. place. His weight is 161 pounds. The other half is Buckingham at 154 pounds, who played last year on the strong Orient A. ©: team and gained a reputation of being one of the best ends in the city. Oh ey There are two candidates for the position of right guard, Stark’ and Gram, the former weighing 156 and the latter 154, both mak- ing their appearance forthe first time on a foot ball field.

B. Buck. turn of some of the old players would. At present the backs are much stronger than the line and much practice work will have to be gone through with before the team is fit to contest for the championship. The coach of the team nas been found in the on of Meigs, a player or last year's n, who is now playing with Columbian College, and he has added rot a little to the knowledge of the boys by his course of in- struction. The faculty adviser of the team is Mr. Plater, a popular teacher at the Eastera High School. Westerns. The team of the Western school is not expected to do much this year, but it will undcubtedly lead to greater things on the gridiron. for the boys across the water in the years to come. The majority of the players are new, but there are some cool heads, strong arms and fleet feet among them, and they should not by any means be the easy prey some expect them to be. Manakee, the left end of the team, is the manager of the team, and will benefit it greatly during the season by his knowledge of the game as well as by his business capabilities. The position cf captain has been given to Charlie Buck, who will play full back. He weighs 146 pounds, while Manakee weighs 150. The other positions on the team will be filled as follows: Frank Miller, center, 155 pounds; Paul Chamber- lain, right guard, 165 pounds; Blake Gor- don, left guard, 140 pounds; William Smart. left’ tackle, 135 pounds; Thomas Hayes or G. A. Smith, right tackJe; Tracey Mulligan, right end, 128 pounds; Richard Brewer, quarter, 149 pounds; Charles Taussig, right half, 140 pounds; John Bardroph, left half, 150 pounds. ‘The boys at the Western are putting in hard work at every opportunity on passing, tackling, falling on the ball and kicking. Signals are also practiced nearly every day, and by the time the contests for the cham- pionship are begun the team will be in pretty fair shape. The team is being ccached by Dr. Bryan of the faculty, who is a graduate of Johns Hopkins,and an old foot ball player. Although no games up to this time have been arranged with outside teams,t is expected that a few will be play- ed before the first game in the league schedule. Business. . ‘The Business team, while a new one as regards the organization of the eleven, is not made up of new players, the majority of them having seen service, and hard serv- ice, in other clubs. In its first game, played Wednesday with Wood’s Commercial Col- lege, the score was a tle, and, as the lat- ter is a strong team in nearly every par- ticular, the outcome of the game is re- garded most cheerfully by the boys. The captain of+the team, Geo. Weaver, ‘was a member of the old Capitol team, with which he played for a long halt ‘is positio! s 8 back. In fitness for the game, and will occupy that position this year. He is a strong player, active and fast on his feet end ee o' i stead on tl nd ‘so far has given the utmost satisfac- fion in the position. He has not made ar- rangements for many games, because the foot ball material at the Business is lmit- ed in quantity as well as in quality, and there is danger of some of the players be- ing crippled befcre the championship con- tests come off. ‘The teain as it will line-uo for these games is as follows: Ward, weight 160 pounds, center; Cockrill, w left guard; Ray, weight 155 pounds, tackle, played last year that po: ition on the Le Droit team; Pearson, w ight 150 pounds, left end, played last year on Le Droit team; Atwell, weight 150 pounds, right guard; Richarore, weight 165 pounds, right tackle, played last year on high ool team of Berryville, Va.; Burns, weight 155 pounds, right end, an old Le Droit player; Weaver, weight pounds, right half back, played with Capi tol team; Thompscn, weight 155 pounds, left half, back, and Berry, weight 14 pounds, full back, played guard for the Eastern team last year. Berry, although new to the position, will make a valuable man at fullback, he is a reliable kicker and a strong line-Litter. The quarterback has not yet been decided upon, but Capt. Weaver has a couple of good men in his eye for the place. Geo. Weaver. The average weight of the four teams is nearly the same, there being but about 13 pounds difference between the lightest and the heaviest ones. The Central has the ad- vantage of weight, averaging between 1; and 100 pounds. The Eastern and Busi- Harry C. Meynes. néss teams average almost exactly the same weight, while the Western team is the lightest of all with an average of about 146 WEST LONDON MISSION. Work of a Famous Institution De- scribed by Sister Lily. Sister Lily, one of the leading members of the Sisterhood which has charge of the woman's work of Rev. Hugh Price Hughes’ famous West London Mission, spoke last evening at Metropolitan M. E. Church,with the “Mission” for her theme. In conversation Sister Lily said she had been with the sisters of the West London Mission since they began their work, Octo- ber 19, 1887. ~ “The sisterhood was started,” she said, “with three members—Mrs. Hugh Price Hughes, Sister Catharine and myself—and rapidly that its membership em- women who are Episcopaleans, Bap- Presbyterians, Congre: nalists, Methodists ‘and members of the n Army. We belong to thi sisters of the people, the for there are hearts as ly among the weal- s of West London there are some people so poor that eight or ten are to live in one room, while within 's threw are the homes and splen- dings of the rich. In our work we have the ‘people's drawing room,’ ‘work- house teas,’ ‘medical work,’ ‘day nurseries,” “thrift societies’ and several other branches of the work. Five hospital nurses are con- stantly detailed to nurse the poor in their homes, for we don’t feel that it is always right to take the sick away from their homes. » “One work is called the ‘guild of the poor things,’ and is a social union of the ¢1 pled and deformed, which originated with one of the sisters, who got the idea from Mrs. Ewing's ‘Story of a Short Life.” he sisters also have a poor man’s law- yer.

As heretofore stated in The Star, Wesley Williams, a colored bicyclist, alighted from his wheel in order to escape a collision on New Hampshire avenue Sunday afternoon, October 3. For apparently no reason he was set upon by a crowd of colored youths and stabbed in three places. Wesley has been under treatment at the Emergeacy Hospital since. John Williams, Russell Hayes, Fred Anderson and Arthur Tyler were placed under arrest and charged with the assault. After hearing the testimony of several witnesses this afternoon in the Police Court Judge Kimball sent John Williams to jail for 364 days, Hayes and Anderson for sixty 3 each, and fined Tyler $10, with thirty days in Cefault. ——— Contract for Cars. ‘The buliding committee in charge of the installation of the underground electric sys- | tem on the Capital Traction railroad has awarded to the American Car Company of St. Louis the contract for furnishing the motor cars.
