"What lots of trouble there is in the

sugar purchased for sick neighbor. "Now,

she had been too Ill to work for six weeks. /"

asked the settlement lady, seized with sud-

Closing-time came very late to Schulz

thing they needed before half-past seven,
and still harder for sleepy children to be
dragged out of bed unnecessarily early on
cold winter mornings to run over to the
store, and who kept open later than ever
in the holiday season. But he did get the

Schulzhein straight to that door, and when,
next day, the settlement resident dropped
in at the always open grocery TO wish Mr..
Schulzhen a Happy New Year there were
sounds of women's voices in the little room
back of the store.
"Dat vas mine own little Gretchen, dat

AMENDMENT SUGGESTED,
District Commissioners Action on
Capital Traction Bill.

1 1t is understood that the District Com
nfissioners will recommend an amendment
of Senate bill lilo, to amend the charter of
the Capital Traction Company. The bill
proposes TO authorize the company to ex-
tend its lines easterly along Pennsylvania
avenue to the bridge across the Anacostia
river. This extension has been recommend
ed previously to Congress by the Commits
sioners. on the ground that existing city
street railways should be extended as ne
cessity requires to cover city territory
needing street railway facilities. and also
to connect al the boundary of the city with
suburban roads.
For the purpose Of making a loop at the
easterly end of the line. rendering unneces-
sary the switching and parking of cars in
the streets. it is understood the Commits
sioners will recommend that the bill be
amended by striking out all of section 1
after the word tracks in line IL and in
sorting in lieu thereof the following: To
10Th street east. thence by single track
loop on Pennsylvania avenue, the circle. X
and 18th streets, bounding square 1918, and
connecting with the double tracks at Penn
sylyania avenue and 18th street east. all
work to be done in accordance with plans
acceptable to and approved by the Com
missioners of the District Of Columbia
With this amendment, it is believed, the
Commissioners will recommend favorable
action on the bill.

American Association VIII Be Ready
for Business on Time.

Harry D. Quinn temporary president OF
the new American Association, and Francis
c. Richter of Philadelphia were seen in
Boston Saturday. Mr. Quinn visited Provi-
dence yesterday. He was highly satisfied
with what he had- learned of the showing
in Boston. ~
eve are making this trip said he, "to
look over the ground and build up our
fences. SO that We may be perfectly sure
of our ground before going ahead. We
realize we have no easy task, and We want
the people interested in the cause to know
we mean business and can back up what
We say
When asked how. it would be possible to
take the field at such short notice. he said
Don't worry about that. We will be
ready when the time comes. We won't
have any trouble about getting started
How about players?' was the next
query.
Don't borrow any trouble about that.
We will have plenty of time to secure all
the players We want.
Mr. Richter said: There is not the least
doubt that there is an opening in this coun-
try for the American Association. Best of
all, the public is heart and soul with it. A
new national organization is needed. Base
ball was never so prosperous as in the days
of the American Associa ton. The new
American Associa ton will undoubtedly put
new life into the game. Once started, it
will have no trouble in moving on to sue

COMING INDOOR MEET
Preparations Begun by Georgetown
Athletes.
CRACK SPRlNTBRSAND DISTANCE MEN
National Association Regatta on
the Harlem.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

Active work indoors has been begun by
the Georgetown University athletes for their
meet at Convention Hall, Saturday. Febru-
airy II. There is unusually large number
of promising athletes at Georgetown this
year. Good sprinters are the most numer-
Gus, and Georgetown's track team should
compare favorably with the leading college
teams. Arthur F. Duffey, 1903 of Boston,
is spoken of as second Wefers. He is
fast at all distances up to 100 yards which
heshas frequently run in 10 seconds. f.
Joseph Mullgan, 1900 of Philadelphia can
also cover 100 yards at the 10 seconds
pace, and the 220 yards in 81 40 seconds
William Holland 1909. Of Massachusetts,
and Clay Lynch, 1903, of louisiana are
speedy up to 440 yards. and can make the
100 yards within three-fifths seconds of
record time. Holland is exceptionally
fast quarter runner. Joseph McAleer 1900
of Philadelphia; Paul Brown. 1867, of Wiscon-
sin, and Joe Herman. 1893 of PHILADELPHIA
all fleet at the shorter distances. and
Theodore Dessez. 1900. and John Sherda H.
1901. are crack Iong-distance runners
Besides those mentioned others are devel-
Cpng for the track. and from among them
some excellent hurdlers and high jumpers
will be obtained.
The numerous track men of ability will
probably give Georgetown the best relay
team it has ever had, not excepting the
crack team of 1897, composed of Bernie
Wefers Devereaux, McAnerney and Ed.
Wefers.
1t is the intention of the Georgetown Uni
verSity Athletic Association to send the
five best runners to the Boston College IT.
door meet in Boston next Saturday. If
this number of men is sent, the four
strongest quarter-milers will be pitted
against Harvard in a match relay race
that should be a close and interesting event.
Arthur DufIey will be included in the team
and entered in the .forty-yard open invi-
tation dash against the fastest runners in
the east.
Entry blanks for Georgetown's meet have
been sent out all through the east Be
sides number of relay races there will be
thirteen set events in ALL follows: Po-
tato race: 80 yards and $50 yards intercol-
legiate scratch races; 30 yards and $50
yards interschoastic handicap races; 30
yards. DO yards, 44o yards. 80 yards hur-
die oremile run. running high jump, pole
