CLUB HOUSE FOR Y. X. C. C.

Owe the project of an intergymnasiumcontest was first broached at the ColumbiaAthletic Club local athletes have been in-dulging In a wish to make such contestsannual affairs. One well-known leader inlocal athletic circles, when asked to givehis views to a Star reporter, said:"In my opinion, there should be formed

in this city an organization for the patron-age and fostering of all field sports, in--door contests and, possibly, boating. Thisassociation should be formed of delegatesfrom the local clubs, numerically propor-tioned, and should have rii -,vide and arrange for competitions in wbichthe members of more than one club are

best. I think to have a short and conciseconstitution, simply adopting the rules ofthe Amateur Athletic Union, for the regu-lation of all field days and other contests.Each branch of athletics would need a spe-cial committee to look after its interests,and in that case it would be advisable tohave committees on field days, base ball,foot ball, tennis and probably boating. Thelatter would provide for the much-talked-of Potomac river regatta, and for thatvery reason, I think, boating men shouldbe much inclined to support the scheme.Each committee ought to be empowered tomake all arrangements necessary to thecarrying out of proposed contests, thecommittee of the whole to have the order-ing as regards dates and place. A possiblerock might be the choice of a presidingofficer, selected from among the many menof substance in Washington Interested inathletics. As will be seen, such an organi-sation would not have a greAt amount ofpower, and would not, therefore, over-shadow the present athletic associations,anI so cause discontent.'In other words, the whole thing would

be simply a permanent committee, havingfor its object the establishment of annualcompetitions, and so revive interest in ath-letics in the District. In other words, itwould be a local A. A. U."Such a plan as that Just mentioned hasbeen often thought of, but no one has everhad the courage necessary to propose and

carry out the scheme. That there are nu-merous dificulties In the way no one willdeny, but the question is. "Is not thegame worth the candle?" As It standsnow, leaving out the C. A. C.'s and theChristian Association, there is not a clubin the citz that has men experiencedenough to enter In every event in the com-ing affair at the C. A. C., and all becauseheld days have been few and far between.Chairman Harmon of the the Columbia

Athletic Club has received a letter fromReferee Goldie, fixing the date as March28, for the gymnasium contests. That date,however, does not suit the committee anda reply has been sent to Mr. Goldie, ask-Ing him if he has the 27th open. If hehas, it will take place on that day, If not,then on the 24th.The Columblas have Talmage, Hougb

and Belknap dlown for the shot-putting.The latter weights nearly two hundredwhen in condition, and is looked upon ashaving a good chance for winning. Heplayed on the foot ball team last year.In addition to those mentioned in last

Saturday's Star as winged arrow eiitriesare the following: Broad jumping. BasilDuk-, McGowan and Bayne; hatteau board,Taussig, Ross. Duke and Bayne; parallelbars, Watts. Sewell and Holbrook, andflying ring, Harmon, Watts and Hol-brook.Instructor Crossley is relying mainly on

the men who have been exercising this%inter in the gymnasium and looks tosee some records broken.

It has been decided by the committee togive a prize for the best all round manand not for team work.

Washimaton Athletie Club.An entertainment was given Thursday

evening. Friday afternoon and Friday nightfor the benefit of the club's exchequer. Acomedy, entitled "O'Poddle's Dilymma,"was performed and created considerablelaughter. The cast was'as follows:Septimus O'Poddle...........Wm. T. FrazierCharles Rocket.................. f. W. Weber_Mr. Scollop...................Geo. M. TysingerHon. Lawrence McFlnnegan....Percy LoudIsabel.........................Lea Vernon.Jennie........................Ray VernonPear Marlow..............-...Mamie LaeeQuite a sum was realized, and the mem-

bers are convinced that with the return ofgood times the club will be on a firm finan-cial foundation.No entries will be made in the intergym-

naslum contest with the possible exceptionof the shot-putting. While all the membersare green, some are quite heavy and strong-ly built, and would not be averse to try-ing their luck with the Iron.Bobby Akers expects to have his classes

in working order by the time spring setsin. The basket ball followers are muchencouraged at the recent showing of theteam against Carroll Institute, when theywere only defeated by the close score of2 to 0.

Y. U. C. A.The boys' class of the Young Men's Chris-

tian Association will have their principalexhibition of the winter on Wednesdayevening. The program comprises exerciseson the buckboard, tumbling, parallel bars,herizontal bars and class work with thedumbbells and Indian clubs. The class hasover fifty members, and has been practic-ing for some time past.Harry Ward and Fred Sims are to wear

the red triangle at the C. A. C. In theputting of the shot. Both Sims and Wardare stockily built and have had some- ex-perience in that line.A problem attracting the serious atten-

tion of the authorities is the question ofan athletic field. Instructor Sims has hiseye on some good ball players, but willnot be able to do anything until a field issecured. There are also some good tennisplayers in the Y. Mi. C. A., and they willbe at a loss unless a ground is secured.Atlantic Park cost so much, however, tolay off and keep in condition that the asso-ciation is acting .vlth due consideration inthe matter. If a field Is not secured bythe latter part of March it means no baseball nine and probably no foot ball teamnext autumn.

Y. MW. Cathoito Club.With the close of 'the bowling season

the athletes of the Catholic Club are con-fronting a situation similar to that of theY. Mi. C. A. It Is true they have a field,but It Is not large enough for base ballor for foot ball. Then, again, if the pro-posed club house ie erected in the bu:n-mer, as there is some talk of doing, a largeslice will be taken off the grounds. Thobuilding committee is seriously consideringthe advisability of breaking ground. Car-roll Institute has taken some of the mem-bers away and 1s even now asserting thather membership roil will soon reach athousand.Dyuring the month of March a series of

lectures will be given for the benefit of thecollege base bail team. The list of dates,as arranged by Manager Nelson, calls fora good large sum of money to cover thetraveling expenses, and for that reasonthe public is to be appealed to, as well asthe liberality of the students.Lieut. Joe Oliver is slated for the cap-

tain'ey of the Potomac iloat Club, in placeof Frank P. Blair, who has left for Florida.The Gleorgetown College nine will be out

on the campus in a few days. if the presentwea*ther continues.

THE BOND ISSUE CONTRACT.

Assistant Seeretary Curtis ExplaiasWhy It Was Made.

William E. Curtis, assistant secretaryof the treasury, spoke about the recentbond issue at the monthly dinner of theDemocratic club at New York Saturdaynight. After discussing the critical condi-tion of the treasury, which had been raid-ed so constantly that It was on the vergeof being exhausted of its gold, Mr. Cur-tis said. a

"The government was practically doingbusiness on a gold bullion basis. Everypenny of coin in the treasury was cov-ered by demand, and it was found im-possible to exchange gold bullion for coinanywhere. Bankers all over the countrywere communicated with, but they wouldnot say what they were doing or whatthey intended to do, and by this time allof the gold which had been realized by theNovember issue had disappeared. .The peo-pie of the United States alone had drawnout $13,000,000 in gold, not a cent of whichhad left the country."Europe and other countries became coa-

vinced that the United States~were goingto do business on a silver basis in the fu-ture. Bankers in this country actuallyadvised the banks and individuals on theother side not to buy any more exchangeson this country, and to unload their Amer-ican securities right away. Why, the Sec-retary of the Treasury received a letterfrom the secretary of the. treasury of theArgentine republic, in which he said thatthe banks of that country had been ad-vised In turn by the European bankers tostop dealing in American exchange. Justthink of our position at this juncture! Buthow many people were aware of it? Veryfew, I can tell you. We saw that it wouldbe necessary for somebody to act as agentfor the United States in order to restoreour credit abroad, and negotiations to thisend were opened. The work might havebeen done much more expeditiously, but,unfortunately, Congress had never giventhe Secretary. of the Treasury the neces-sary power, and so delays were inevitable."We got no response to our overtures

frord the other side at first. They albso-lutely refused to have anything to do withour coin bonds, but the negotiations werekept up, and they finally agreed to takecertain bonds at certain rates of Interest.There was considerable haggling for atime, but while the negotiations were onthe withdrawals of gold from the treas-ury suddenly stopped. A few days later,when it looked as though the negotia,tions would fall through, the withdrawalsb*-gan again. Then we decided that therewas but one thing for us to do, and thatwas to accept the offer from-the otherside, which we did, and since then therehave been few withdrawals and absoliutelyno exportations of gold."

POLICE REPORTS.

The New System et Emeseney Re"eDsiives Troeble. -

There Is one provision in the new policemanual that Is giving the police lieuten-ants some trouble, as well as causing un-easiness among the members of class one.This is the rule providing for the reportof the records of the oinecrs each week.and for a consolidated report at the en:1of each month, to be made by the superin-tendent to the Commissioners. Under thisregulation, which was suggested by Com-missioner TruesdelL the weekly reports ofthe lieutenants show how many times anofficer has been absent without leave, hispersonal appearancethe complaints againsthim, whether reprimanded, trials and theirresult, and whether or not the oficer haslost any equipments. In conclusion, thelieutenant has to report whether the offi-cer is highly efficient, efficient or inefficient.What is causing the lieutenants more trou-ble than anything else Is distinguishing be-tween efficient and highly efncient, and itis said that the efficiency of the lieuten-ants is to be judged from their reports.Under the rules an officer of the first classhas to be rated as highly efficient for atleast one year before he can get a pro-motion to the second class. This, the off-cers fear, will make promotions scarce inthe future. Heretofore, the length of serv-ice, merit being considered, governed pro-motions.Maj. Moore has made one report under

these rules, and his second report, whichmay-be made next week, it is thought, willbe an interesting one, especially to themembers of the force.
