Gee rsetown University Nine.

The leading college teams have all been
scheduled for games with Georgetown Uni
versity this spring. Princeton, Yale and
Harvard and Pennsylvania will be among
the early opponents, as they open their re-
spective seasons in the south. Cornell will
play two games later in the season. 1t is
also likely that the Washingtons will play
few practice games on the college field.
There will not be much change in the
Georgetown nine. Mccarthy, who played
last year on the Holy Cross team, will play
in the field. George Mahoney will succeed
Cotter at first base. Carmody and Nc
Creary, formerly of the Y. NJ. c. A. team,
will do the pitching. Sullivan will do most
of the catching, Ed Mahoney will cover
second and Murphy probably third. Nc
Grath is likely to be found at short, where
he was last year. Harley will play in left
Bahen, who was injured in the Thanksgiv-
ing day foot ball match, was expected to
play in the field, but is still confined to his
bed. Reardon of last years Holy Cross
and Read of Notre Dame are aspirants for
positions.

The Color Line Question VIII Provoke
Most Contention.

MOST COntentIOn.
NEW YORK, February 1S.-The annual
convention of the League of American
Wheelmen began this morning at the
Grand Union Hotel in this city with an at
tendance of bicyclists from Maine to Cali
fornia. There is likely to be a fight as tC
where the next annual meet of the league
will be held. Boston and Asbury Park be,
ing aspirants
The color line will likely provoke more
contention than any other question before
the league as the members are very strong
ly divided on the question. A mighty eff
fort will be made to have the law admit
ting coIored wheelmen to the league re-
pealed, and anotf er mighty effort will be
made to allow it to stand just as 1t is. The
roll was called this morning at 1910, after
the committee on credentials had filed its
report.

WINTER DAYS.

Spring has its tender. smiling hopc.
Its hints OF radiant bloom.
And summer casts u horoscope
In sweet. star-hauntcd gloom.
But neither spring nor summer ,llls
My heart with old ccstatic thrills.
Keen winter with its turquoise skies,
Its frosty, sparkling airs,
Its bold. harmonious voice that cries
Health to the worlds dcspairs,
Its robust will, its hardy sense
OF life and joyous rccoinpense-
This is the lever Of the soul
This the wild ardent will
That fashions man to such whole
AS faith might havo him still
That guides the blood stream OF his life
Along the shadowy trails of strife
Winter Of ice, and slect, and snow,
OF gray, unfowcring earth.
Yet singing through the winds that blow
Their large tempestuous mirth,
For me 1t has heart OF fire
Unqucnchcd and dc0thless as desire.
