A piano recital was given at Carroll In- stitute Hall Thursday evening by Mr. An- ton Gloetzner, assisted by Miss Florence Lee Holtzman and Mr. Joseph Finckel.

Mires Holtzman received merited applause for her arie, and Mr. Finckel gave a creditable violin solo. : Held for Action of Grand Jury.

The first part of the program com- prises general instructions and information to the commanding officers of the com- panies. Up to last Tuesday the work of the cadets was mainly diracted to getting into proper shape for the parade to take place Washington's birthday, but now that that event has passed, all efforts will be direct- ed to getting each company into as good shape as possible for the coming competi- tive drill. —_>— ANTI-SALOON M4 MEETING.

CANDIDATES FOR GEORGETOWN’S NINE High School Boys to Run at Boston Tonight. THE FARRELL-IRWIN FIGHT At a meeting of the Intercollegiate Asso- ciation of Amateur Athletes in New York Saturday the association declared against the registration scheme of the Amateur Athletic Union and decided not to be gov- erned by it. The resolution, after pointing out that this rule of the A. A. U. is a detriment to amateur competition and should either be abolished or modified, declared that an ath- lete competing for a college of the I. C. A. A. A. has, by reason of his membership in such an association, a full and sufficient record of: all that the registration scheme requires, and should therefore be exempt from registration. It was decided that in future contests points will be scored as follows: 1, six points; 2, four; 3, two; 4, one. In the make-up of the championship events the two-mile run was substituted for the one- mile event. It was at first proposed to make the distance three miles to conform with the English list. These officers for the ensuing year were elected: President, I. N. Swift, Yale; treas- urer, E. M. Bull, Cornell; secretary, B. 8. Barringer, New York University; honorary vice presidents, S. J. McPartland, Ford- ham and J. D. Clark, Lafayette: executive committee, I. N. Swift, B. H. Hayes, Har- yard; J. D. Winsor, Pennsylvania; E. Q. McVitty, Princeton, and J. T. Williams, Co- lumbia. GEORGETOWN’S "VARSITY NINE. First Practice of the Campi The candidates for the university nine had their first outdoor practice on the Georgetown University campus Saturday afternoon. Of the old men, Maloney, Bach, Walsh, Tracey, Fleming and McCarthy are the only ones now practicing. Maloney will again be Georgetown’s main reliance be- hind the bat. O’Donnéll and O'Connell are also candidates for this position. Of last year’s pitchers, Bach, Walsh and Tracey are back. Other candidates for Pitchers are Dowd, Downs and Miles. Dowd is a brother of the Dowd who pitch- ed so well for Georgetown in '94, and is cred- ited with much of his brother's skill. Miles, @ left-hander, and Downs are both new men in Georgetown. First base promises to be filled by Casey, who for two years alternated between first and third on Brown's strong team. At sec- ond Fleming will be found again this year. Riordan did not return to college, and his place at short is being tried for by Moran and Downs. For third base the strongest candidate is Hafford. His record as captain of the Som- erville (Mass.) High School base ball team last year is a fine one. “Bud? Smith will probably be his strongest opponent for this position. Of last year’s fielders McCarthy is the only survivor. He will fill his old Place in left field and captain the team. Walsh will, if he pitches, alternate between the box and field. Other candidates for the Year on the field are O’Brien, Reidy, O'Connell, J. Smith and Sullivan. Irwin-Farrell Contest. Much interest is being shown in the sparring contest between Ralph Irwin of this city and Jack Farrell of Wilmington, which is scheduled to take place at Steub- ner’s road house tomorrow evening. It will be a twenty-round go at $100 a side, and the gate receipts. The manager says it will come off regardless of weather or the size of the attendance. Harding Defeats Shaw. Bernard Harding, the expert pool player, defeated Crist Shaw, the New Jersey champion, in a 20U-ball contest at Balti- more Saturday by the score of 200 to 105. Mr. Harding will give an amateur pool tournament for the championship of Mary- Jand and the District of Columbia in Bal- timore, beginning March 12. Won by the Easterns. The Eastern Athletic Club defeated Com- pany C, 1st Battalion, in basket ball, Sat- urday night, at the Light Intantry hall, by 10 to 2.

Some Surprise Caused by the Selec- tions of the Committee—The Britigh Team. The cable match team committee met Monday evening last in New York city and completed the team. The four remaining members selected are D. G. Baird of the Manhattan Club, F. K. Young of Boston, A. K. Robinson of Philadelphia, and John A. Galbreath of New Orleans; substitutes, J. M. Hanham and L. Schmidt, jr., of the Manhattan Club. The action of the committee created much surprise, as most of those chosen had not heretofore been mentioned in connec- tion with the team. Baird played on the team in the year 1896, and was beaten by Jackson at board No. 8. By reason of his fll-success then, he was not retained on the team last y even though the number of players increased to ten on a side. Baird has tied Koehler for the championship of the Manhattan Club. Young's selection was expected. He is sald to be a strong player. He is best known as a theorist, however, having pub- lished two books on minor and major tac- tics in chess. It was expected that two places would go to Philadelphia. ~Accorai to the newspapers, Walter Penn Shipley was fa- vorably considered for a place on the team, and so was Bampton. These players were passed by, and A. K. Robinson was chosen. Mr. Robinson is at present champion of the Franklin Chess Club, but here he has not been considered as strong as D. Stu- art, and some of the others. Mr. Robinson visited Washington in April of last year, and played three games with Mr. Walker, the local champion, who won all the games, the two sittings lasting about five hours. Another surprise was the selection of Mr. Galbreath of New Orleans. Mr. Gal- breath is not connected with any club. He lately defeated Judge Tabbott by 8 to 1, and J. D. Sequin by 5 to 0. It was the re- sult of these matches which told in his favor. It was proper that the strength of the Manhattan Club should be recognized, but it was not expected that both substitutes would 2 chosen from that club, as well as one of the regular team. Of course, there are disappointments. That was to have been expected where there were six persons to be chosen from a dozen cr more players. The committee decided not to make public the names of those who were discussed in connection with the team. The two teams have been chosen and are as follows: America—H. N. Pillsbury, J. W. Sho- walter, J. F. Barry, E. Hymes, A. B. Hodges, E. Delmar, D. G. Baird, F. K. Young, A. K. Robinson and J. A. Gal- breath. Substitctes—J. M. Hanham and L. Schmidt. je Great Britain—J. H. Blackburne, Burn, H. Caro, C. D. Locock. H. BE. At- kins, D. Y. Mills, G. E. H. Bellingham, E. M. Jackson, H. Jacobs and H. W. French- ard. Substitutes—H. H. Cole and G. E. Wainwright. The British team er than it was lk be seen whether the stronger. Amos s undoubtedly strong- year. It remains to American team is No sooner had Mr. F. B.

After these players had arranged for their match Mr. Hanna expressed a desire to play a match with the District cham- pion. Of course, he cannot be. accommo- dated at present, but he will likely play in the next match for the District champlon- iship. Mr. Hanna is unquestionably one of the strongest players in the city. In his individual match games with Mr. Walker he has come off a little ahead. Therefore, his friends are desirous of seeing a match between them. Of course, Mr. Tharp may defeat Mr. Walker, and@ then would follow @ match between Tharp and Hanna. As Mr. Walker has usually won from Mr. Tharp in their individual match piay, the friends of the former look to see him vic- torious in the coming match. Messrs. H. N. Pilisbury and J. W. Sho- walter have signed articles for another match for the chess championship of the United States.

Rosson called at the Bijou Comparison 1s sometimes made of the| Theater Saturday afternoon just after the piayers of today with those of thirty or for- ty years ago. This is done by examining the games published of the players of that day with those played today by the distinguish- ed masters. In these comparisons one es- sential fact is often lost sight of. In the days of Staunton, Anderson and Morphy no time limit was imposed on a player, and he took all the time he chose. question of erdurance and not of skill at playing. One of the objects of the great London tourrament of 1851 was to remedy this defect, but nothing was done about it. Mr. Staunton was compelled by fatigue to Surrender a match to Mr. Williams, when the score stocd 6 to 2 in his favor, because the latter persisted in prolonging the games to twelve, thirteen and twenty hours each, and took two to two and a half on a single move. The masters of today in their tour- ramen‘s have a time limit of fifteen moves to the hour, or thirty moves the first two heurs. If they do not make the required number of moves within the time limit, the game is forfeited. Hence a player often adopts a weak line of play because he is pushed for time and becomes nervous. It is quite different from being allowed to take all the time you desire on the game. On Washington's birthday the New York State Chess Association championship was won by Gus Kcehler, a member of the Man- hettan Club, who came out ahead of such players as Shcwalter, Hodges, D. G. Batra, Delmar, Hanham and Schmidt, who are on this year’s cable team, besides a number of others. The following is the score of the game Played betwcen Messrs. J. W. Harris and W. E.
