'Tho Polntft of the Contest Annual Games
of the CI till on Analostan Island Mr.
Scanlon'H Promises to Washington for
Next Season.
The threatening weather yesterday, tho date
set aside for the second gamo of tho champion
ship series between tho Columbia Athletics and
the Now Jersey Athletic team, of Bergen Point,
N. J., caused anxiety among tho Columbia
ranks early in tho day. At 1:30 tho sun peeped
out after tho rain, and at 2 o'clock It was shin
ing brichtly. It was expected tho grounds
Avould bo a mire, but when tho first contingent
arrived on Analostan Island tho field was
found to bo In satisfactory condition. This
was duo to tho excellent caro of SIgnor Tomaso'
O'Nell, tho track master. Tho teams arrived at
8:20. Tho grand stand was gradually filling and
presontcd an animated appearance, tho ladies
being numerous. The teams wero photographed
just boforo game was called by Messrs. 12. J.
Pullman and J. E. Buckingham, Jr. Tho duty
of umpiring devolved on Mr. Winfleld Scott
Larner, and it was woll discharged. Tho indi
vidual playing of Green at second, Burko at
centre, Dickinson in right-Held, and Wells
at first-baso was magnificent, while tho
battery work of Walsh and Daly was
better than that of any professionals seen hero
in a long time. Walsh haB all tho curious
shoots, has excellent control of his delivery,
and his speed is marvelous. Daly caught him
in great Bhape, and his throwing to second was
ono of tho features of tho game. As a whole
tho team played well. Tho Now Jersoy boys
play well, bat 6trong, and run bases llko 10J
sprinters. Tho gamo opened up bad for tho Co
lumblas, as Walsh went in to pitch without any
practice, and tho visitors almost batted him out
of tho box. Tho run-getting of tho visitors
commenced in tho first inning, when, by four
successive hits by W. Currio, Smith, Vcster
velt, and McBuruoy two earned ruus wore se
cured, tho feature "of tho inning boing Burko's
throw from center to homo-baso to cut off a
runner. Tho yisitors did not score again until
tho sixth Innintr, when a base on halls and hits
by fisher and W. Currio allowed Westorvelt to
score. These wero all tho runs thoy made,
though thoy had jnen on tho bases several
times, but tho clever fielding of tho Columbias
kept them down. Tho Columbias wero totally
uuablo to do anything for tho first five innings,
but in tho sixth inning thoy got down to work
and opened up In such a manner as to cause
groat enthusiasm anioug tholr admirers. Ilero
is tho way it was accomplished: King reached
first on balls, Green's hit sent King to third,
Green steallug Eecoud. Bolway hit and King
scored, Bolway stealing second. A passed ball
allowed Green to 6core. Sprigman was hit by
a pitched ball. Thoro wero two on bases and
tho excitement was intense as big, brawny
"Tubby" Dickinson eamo up with his bat. Ho
missed two strikes, then hit a slow ono to
pitcher, and that player, eager to make a good
Slay, lost his head aud threw wildly to first-base,
olway and Sprigman scoring, and Dlcklnsou
reaching third. Then "Tubby" played off third
and on an attempt to throw film out ran like a
deer for home, overturning everything in his
path, and scoring amid great applause. Walsh
then wont out. Yith five scores to their credit
it was dollars to doughnuts that the Columbias
would win the contest, thus making another
contest necessary, Dickinson's catch in the
fifth inning was the only brilliant feature of tho
contest. Tho score in full is as follows:

The Columbia Club's Fall Sports.
Although ill-luck again attended tho Colum
bia Club in their attempt to secure favorable
weather for their fall sports, tho ovents which
did take place wore tho most successful that the
club has oyer given. Great credit is duo to tho
officers of tho meeting for tho excellent way in
which tho meeting was managed. There were
no tiresomo waits, so usual at athletic meetings.
Tho events succeeded each other smoothly aud
without interruption, while tho crowd wero
obliged to keep within the bounds provided
for them. The arrangements wero completoin
every way. The entries wero much larger than
at former meetlntrs, and tho events wero so
closely contested that It was evident that hard
and conscientious training had been tho rule.
A quarter of an inch secured tho standing
broad jump for W. B. Hogatt, who cleared 9
feet 10i inches. II. M. Wilson was second
with a jump of 9 feet 101 inches. With Sam
King, Dickinson, and Chichester out of the 100
yard dash it was hard to pick tho winner.
The race was run In five heats. J. B. Elliott,
with 3 yards handicap, was at tho front in tho
first heat in 10 3-5 seconds; J.B. Green, 0 yards,
second; Bob Elder, 0 yards, third, and W. E.
Buoll, 5 yards, fourth. Second heat James II.
Sprigman, 5 yards, first, 10 3-5 seconds; II. J.
Clark, 9 yards, second; W. E. Pierce, 0 yards,

heat C. S. King, 0 yards, first, 11 seconds; P.
J. McLean, 8 yards, second; Fred Thompson, 8
yards, third; J. M. Dashiell, 5 yards, fourth.
Fourth heat, (for second men; winner to run
in final heat) II. J. Clark first, 11 seconds; J.
B. Green second, J, J. McLean third. Final
heat This was a pretty contest, in which J. B.
Elliot won from James II. Sprigman by six
inches iu tho good timo of 10 2-5 seconds. In
putting tho shot J. C. Irwin took first place,
with a put of 33 feet 10i inches, J. T. Rainier,
with a handicap of 12 inches, 32 feet 2 inches.
Iu the 220-yard dash J. B. Elliot started
from scratch, giving handicaps of 11 yards to
II. J. Clark, 8 yards to J. R. Elder, and 3 yards
to E. II. Berry. Elliot mado a plucky run, aud
was only defeated by Elder by less than a foot.
Timo, 24 seconds. It. J. Beall dropped out of
tho polo vault after a Vault of 7 feet, loaving
Dashiell and Wilson to finish. Both of these
cleared 7 feet 0 inches, but could get no higher.
Wilson was therefore given tho event becauso
of his (handicap of 4 inches. Theso contests
wero all that took place, owiug to tho severe
storm which camo up. Tho remaining events
will come off about tho mtddlo of noxt week,
no special day having been decided upon. All
thoso'spectators who wero present on Thursday

without McDermott as assistant marshal.
