Competitive shooting was held Thursday afternoon at the farm range of the Ama- teur Rifle Club, Chevy Chase, for the pur- pose of qualifying members to compose the team that will repfesent Washington and the rifle club at the second shooting fes- tival of the National Schutzenbund, Glen Dale, Long Island, July 3 to 11. Two more competitions will be held before the final selection of the ten members of the team is made. Yesterday afternoon the best scores were as follows, each shooter hay- ing several scores, counting, however, only the best one shot: Farrow, 223; Carleton, 218; Hutterly, 207; Gheen, 205; Williams, 195; Scott, 192, and Hamner, 180. ‘The Amateur Rifle Club is an organiza- tion composed of the members of the dis- banded Company A of the District Nation- al Guard, Engineer Corps, which was a company of qualified sharpshooters. The riflemen belonging to that organization won much fame in shoots all over the east, and the same men expect to make an excellent showing at the great Schutzenbund meet. Nearly $10,000 will be awarded in prizes. The two additional competition matches fm the club will be held next Monday and ‘Thursday, respectively. The riflemen ex- pect to leave for Long Island the evening of Tuesday, July 5, and will be present at five days of the shooting. The old shots of the club are very much gratified at the showing made by several new members. —————— THE COURT BUSINESS.

He paid “There will be jury trials in Criminal Court No. 2 until July 2. No jury trials are held in eny court in September. Jus- tice Bradley will not hold Criminal Court No. 1 in July. There is no ‘July term’ of the Criminal Court, and no ‘June term,’ except in the Equity Court. “The present terms of the Criminal and Circuit Courts began on the first Tuesday in April and continue until the first Tues- day in October. The jury in Circutt Court No. 1 only has been discharged. Keren- hhert’s case has not been assigned for Mon- day. Equity Court is always open. It is settied that neither Justice Cox nor Justice Hagner will hold any court in August. Justice Cole will look after all judicial busi- ress the first half of the month and Jus- tice Bradley the second half.

Mercer afid Hawley and Dammann were the opposing pitchers, and each was batted hard and often, the visitors securing fif- teen safeties and the home poeple four less. Every man on the Washtngton team got one or more hits, with the exception of that hard-hitting player, Anderson, who failed to successfully connect with Haw- ley’s delivery. Selbach got three, of which two were doubles; Gettman and Farrell also securing three hits. Mercer got two, one being a double. Reitz’s hand had heai- cd so weil as to permit him to get back in the game, and he played a perfect game. Selbach and Myers were the only Senators to commit an error, seven being charged up against the Ewingites. Mercer was somewhat wild, giving tive bases on balls, although -he claimed that Umpire Swart- wood suffering with bad eyesight. He kept the I scattered, however, ex- cept in the seventh inning, when five’ hits and a pa is four runs. Mc- Guire again played a great game at first, ¥en putouts and an assist. Dam? mann relieved Hawley: in the seventh inn- 1S . The Senaters got right down to scoring in the first inaing, sending two men across the plate. Selbach began business by send- ing the bail to the center-field fence for a double. Gettman’'s out at first placed him on third, he scoring on Irwin's emgor. He reached second on Smith’s error and scored on Farreil's single to left. The following inning the home people evened up matters. After two were gone Myers, after making a great stop of Ir- s bounder, threw wildly to first, Irwin third on the misplay. Peitz re- pass. and Irwin scored when Sel- bach muffed Hawley’s fly. Peitz had gone to second, and scored on McBride's single to left. . Reitz was passed to first in the fourth, went to third on Peitz’s wild throw to catch him, and scored on Mercer's doubie to right center. In the next inning the Senators got two more runs. MeCuire put a single in right and McBride dropped Fe rell’s ily. Reitz’s single to left sent i Mc- Guire home, Farrell scoring on Beckley’s muff of Wrigle: fly in front of the plate. In the sixth inning the Reds got a run on MePhee's double to the left-field fence and Corcoran’s single to left. Selbach got in another double to left, going to third on Gettman’s safe bunt ‘and home on Mc- Guire's out at first. Jake stole second and scored on Farrell's single to right. In the next inning the home push scored four runs. Irwin singled past Wrigley, a pass and after Hawley sent a foul fly to Myers, McBride's scratch hit filled the bases. Smith then sent Irwin and Peitz home by a single to center, and McBride scored on McPhee's single to left. Smith, who had reached third on the hit, scored while McPhee was being run down between first and second. ‘The Senators got three men home in their half of the inning. Myers beat one to first, Went to second on Wrigley’s safe bunt. Mercer's sacrifice advanced them, and they scoréd on Selbach's single to left, Selbach reaching second on Smith's fumble. He scored on Gettman’s single to left. In the eighth inning the Reds got their last run on Irwin's single, passes to Peitz ard Dam- mann and McBride's fly to Anderson. Score: Cincinnat!. RH.

Wrigley must have been feeling well y2s- terday. He had ten chances and “copper- ed” them all, besides getting fn a nice sin- gle. “Zeke” is very much like the little girl with the pretty curl. . Hillary Swaim or Evans will go on the rubber today, and either Dwyer or Hill will be in the same place for the Cincinnatis. Weyhing should be in good shape for to- morrow’s game, and a record-breaking at- tendance is expected. After yesterday’s great game with the Bostons it would appear that the Pitts- burgs are far from being in the quitting class, but, instead, be.ong to the contingent wherein sand is supposed to be on sand by the car loads. The Pirates’ pitching corps is doing splendid work, and in the field and at the bat the remainder of the team are working right up to the handle. “Jocko” Halligan, the ex-Baltimore play~ er, who was run out of the league for breaking “Cub” Stricker’s jaw, is back in the game again and playing first-class bail tor the Wilkesbarre, Eastern League, team. He is hitting away over the .300 mark and fielding as well as ever. ‘“Jocko” will probably be back in the big reague next season, as his offense was the culmination of a hasty temper quarrel, and he can strengthen about eight out of the twelve clubs. It seems like strange reading to hear of the Brooklyns scouring the country for a shortstop, when they have a lien on Han- nivan, who is covering that position for the Syracuse club of the Eastern League. This is the man tipped off to the Washington club by Umpire Snyder, but a prior claim by Brooklyn kept him out of the senatorial ranks. Hannivan played third base for Lancaster last year, and was a great suc- cess in that position. This year his work is still better, although playing out of his regular position. He is batting well over the .300 mark, and in fielding his percen- tage clings closely to the .900 point. COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP, It is Claimed to Exist Only in Track Sports. To the Editor of The Evening Sta Referring to the editorial in this evening’s Star entitled “The Intercollegiate Cham- plenships,” permit me to call your attention to the faét that no such champlonships exist, except in track sports. A man, or a team of men, can be considered champions in any brench of sport only when they have shown themsely2s clearly superior to all fair competitors. Until Yale and Prince- ton condescend to meet Pennsylvania in all athletic contests, Pennsylvania being one of their strongest rivals, I fail to see how ths championships mentioned in your edi- torial can be conceived to exist. hout mentioning the fact that Cornell has not yet this year defeated either Pennsylvania or Columbia on the water, and therefore cannot, as yest, claim this years rowing supremacy, let me ask how “Yale nolds the foot ball championship as a result of last autumn’s play,” when Yale did not meet Pennsylvania, who defeated Harvard, while Yale could play the latter only a tie game? Further on you state, with reference to the base ball games between Harvard, Brown, Yale and Princeton, that ‘This combina- tion of results leaves it possible for the ad- mirers of each of the four universities to claim base ball superiority by a system of figuring on th? result adjusted to the va- rious points of view.” How the admirers of any one of the four universitizs men- tioned can lay any claim to b periority for their university sidering the work of Pennsylvania, George- town or Lafayette, I fail to understand. I observe that your editorial makes no mention of Pennsylvania’s magnificent tri- umph in track sports on the Berkeley Oval in May last, when she won the only college championship in existenc3 with score more than twenty points higher than that of her nearest competitor—Prinestan, R. T. YOUNG. Washington, D. C., June 24. College Base Ball. Another communication regarding the same editorial has been received claiming that the assertion that Yale and Princeton had won from Brown in base ball was in- correct. “Out of three games played with Yale, Brown won two and thus the series, the scores being 17-2 and 4—% in Brown's two victories. In regard to Princeton, but two games were played, Brown, winning the first and Princeton the second.” STANDING OF RACERS. Since the publication of the last score, showing the standing of the local racing mucn, there have been many changes. Since June 4, the date of the last publi- cation, two week day meets and the na- tional circuit event have been held. Schade, by his winning several open events and several tandem races, has reached a good lead. The same is true of the stand- ing of Halstead, who is tied with Wilson. C. J. Mueller has also made a big jump in tne table, and stands up right behind the lead men. As is perhaps known, the following table includes only races run in the District. No notice is taken of the winnings in outside places, neither in the scoring points or the summing up of the winnings. The score follows: Renk. Ast. 2d. 3d.

A joint run with the Levant Wheelmen was called for last Sunday to Highland Park, but, owing to the weather in the morning, only a few of the Arlingtons responded. A large representa- tion of the Levants was in evidence, and all combined together and a good time was had. 1 At the last lar meeting the club unanimously voted to hold an open century on September 15. “‘Capt. Murphy was in favor of making the century an easy one— Le., that the cours¢,be arranged over good roads, and run so,as to enable every en- trant to dine at hyme, and his suggestion was accepted. = “Bill CW. Gettingtr) and “Lou” (L. Hard- ing), who last wetK’ were on the disable@d list, are now confalescent, and can be found out among tHe boys on the runs. The new unifornis are rapidly making their appearance in the club. About fifteen of the boys are now equipped with them, end many more ordered. J. F. Broadbent, the club's secretary, and J. D. Frazee have been absent from the city for the past week in New York city. Guy Mitchell, A. Davison and L. Smith went to Baltimore last week and made a century, the latter completing a double. L. Smith ‘as ridden more centuries this year than any other member. He 1s entered in the quadruple tobe run in New York shortly. He gees to Philadelphia tomor- raw to make a double. = Tom Utz (the midget Arlington and one of the ball team) is playing short this sea- son in his old-time form, and the boys are always confident of victory when Tom is guarding the short field. His batting this year has been very timely. Lou Harding and Fred Moore are becom- ing expert bowlers. On last Sunday's run they located an old alley in the country, and kept two men busy “settin’ ‘em up” for two hours. On several of the pleasant evenings dur- ing the week a number of the boys got to- gether and took short spins in the coun- try. Cabin John, Suitland and Glen Echo were visited. The sick list this week contains the name of W. J. Espey of Hyattsville, who has been indisposed for several days. W. Clark and T. Utz have recently been heartily laughed at by the members for not being able to distinguish vinegar and benzine from lamp oil—they having charg- ed their lamps with the sume, respectively. The boys are anxious that the amuse- ment committee have the next regular meeting and smoker an out-of-town and epen-alr affair, similar to the last one, which was a grand success in every partic- ular, there being fifty-five members and many invited guests. The club for the summer months has decided to hold its meetings out in the country. Camp Alger was the attraction for sev- eral of the boys last Sunday, who made the trip awheel. Friends of some of the members are stationed there. The run tomorrow will be to Anglers’ Club House, on the Conduit road. Some of the boys may possibly go to Dickey’s, while others will keep on up the hill to Great Falls. If the day is a favorable one for cycling a good crowd is expected. The start will be from 14th and New York ave- nue northwest at 10 o'clock. Lieut. R. H. Stone will be in charge. Capt. Murphy and Second Lieut. H. Walker are going on an exploring expedi- tion early tomorrow morning down toward Shady-Side-on-the-Bay. They will endeav- or to select a good run for the club. Century Cycle Club. The Centurians, under the command of Captain Byrnes, took’a run to Ashton, Md., Sunday. In the part were Messrs. Wil- liams, Fields, Batnhartt, Galeski, Keller, Hollander, Maher,and,Kauffman.

They will be among the entries for the quadruple cen- tury run given by the New York division of the Century Road Club of America. The regular meeting of the club was held last Monday evening and business of im- portance transacted. Mr. Louis P. Keller was elected an active member. Mr. Tom Reed left last week for New York, where he will engage in business. His resignation was accepted with regret at the meeting Monday night. Lieut. Fred J. Volkman, who is on a busi- ness trip in Chicago, is expected to return about July 1. A committee composed of Messrs. Wil- Mams, McAnally and Byrnes was appoint- ed at the meeting Monday night to make arrangements for a public century run dur- ing the earlier part of August over the tri- angular course. Messrs. Byrnes, Fisk and Mfllward, mounted on a triplet, went up the Conduit road Thursday night and witnessed the cir- cuit races. Tomorrow the Club will take a run to Brandywine, Md., starting from the club house at 9 o'clock sharp. CIRCUIT GOSSIP. The failure of Tom Cooper to ride in the races Thursday at the Park track is re- gretted by the many friends which the quiet rider has in this city. Last year when in town he was troubled with a num- ber of boils, which broke out on all parts of the body, and which prevented him from riding. In fact, his poor riding all during the season is attributed to this fact. This year he started out in apparent good con- dition, but the fore part of this month his old malady broke out. Since then he has been doing very little riding, and he says he will not enter another race until he i& well. In the evening, when the finals were being run off, Cooper sat in the press box, talking to a number of friends. “I was fool enough last year to ride when I was troubled with boils,” said he, “but I do not intend to ride any more this year in that condition.” One large bot! on the lower limb seems to give him unusual pain, and causes, him to limp when walking, Eddie Bald, who somewhat disappointed ®& great many people by not appearing in the finals, did not seem to mind his ill luck. Though he fairly won his heat in the one- mile national championship in the opinion of all the riders who witnessed the fintsh, he did not raise any objection when t.e judges announced their decision giving MacFarland the race. After the beautiful “cannon ball” sprint of the rider, which brought him to tront, he should have received better ré megs injus' = threatening than we hear the news JOOQDSOGSIS OS SO OC OSOO SOS HOGOGOSOD ISOS and “Times.” hurrah. success that is S0SSSC0S Don’t fail to papers. an event which ready the news SOSOSGG6 BOSSeo can expect. > 5 egy & Hechts’ Rebuilding Sale.

Sims after his magnificent ride at the finish of the two- mile handicap, in which he crossed the tape a winner. The rider deserves special credit. Sims looks upon Washington as his home more so than Philadelphia, his birthplace. A greater part of his racing was done in this city. In fact, he developed into a racer in this clty while his father was instructor in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. But for some reason Fred. Sims never seemed to be popular with the local racing public, and in nearly every race meet he was given the worst of the applause. He never was a grandstand rider, and never catered for ap- plause. That a change has come over the public was shown by the ovation he re- ceived Thursday evening, and there is scarcely any doubt of Sims’ happiness over the matter, though he did not show it. In- cidentally it might be added that as a rider he is rapidly coming to the front, and this was demonstrated by the fact that he qualified in every heat of the professional races in which he was entered. He‘keeps the crack riders guessing, and by the end of the season he ought to be in a condition to make most of them hustle for the honor. A little incident Thursday night which is perhaps worthy of mention happened in the final of the two-mile handicap. In fact Practically the same thing happened in the afternoon. Throop was the limit man and Sims wanted the Washington boy to win. In the afternoon he managed to hold the bunch back and let Throop win the heat in an easy manner. At night he tried the same tactics, but they did not. work. He got the lead shortly after the start, and endeavored to hold the bunch back, but to no avail. Other riders jumped ahead of him and set up a livelier pace. Three times did Sims take the lead to keep the bunch back, and three times did he fail. After such exertion, which naturally tired him, it was a great surprise when he crossed the tape first, a winner by about twelve inches or so. A study of tne way the prizes went Thursday is interesting. For the three pro- fessional races the total purse was $375. Gardiner came out ahead, winning one race and getting $150. Owen Kimblt came next best, securing $110, which represented two seconds of $30 each, and one first of $50. Floyd MacFarland, the lanky Cali- fornian, was third, with $95, representing one second and one third. Fred. Sims was fourth with $50, representing a first. H. B. Freeman, in scoring a second, won $30, and Earl Kiser in getting a_third-carried away $20. T. N. Mudd, jr., the local rider, won $10, the fourth place, as did also J. A.
