Those Who Have Signed.

The first name that appears on Man
| ager Rivers contracts is that of Joe
/ Grant, the well-known wrestler You can
hardly find a man in the District who is
not fairly familiar with what Joe can do
on the padded mat. but the news that he
! is a ball tosser of no little renown will
come to many as 4 great surprise. He is
said to be a wonder in the outer garden.
and that is where he is to cayort during
the coming summer.
Then appear the names of Ed Grant
Rapp, Bradley. Leonard, Walker, Eman-
uel Keane. Drescher, and Huddleston, the
latter well-knOwr member of the Gov
ernment Printing Office team. These men
are all familiar to the local fans, and
Manager Rivers is much pleased with the
contracts he has made.
This inroad upon Washington is no new
thing for the Raleigh manager. Early this
year. when his fellow managers OF the
North Carolina League were hurrying
around bidding up this player and squab-
bling over that one, Manager Rivers was
taking things at his ease. Even when tho
middle of March came and went he still
showed no signs OF uneasiness. He knew
where there was an inexhaustible market
when he should get ready to make his Sc
lections.

National League than any other organiza-
tion in the country. Christy Mathewson
the New York pitching phenom, was at
one time member of the league, when ii
was known as the Virginia North Caro-
lima League. Tannehill and other great
players were also at one time or another
under contract there and Manager Rivers
says that they are by no means through

and there will be no easy task before
Georgetown when its knights of the dia-
mond attempt to solve the collection of
curves and benders that will be passed
up for their inspection. With the ex
ception of two men the Yale outfit will
be the same that played here last year.
That Georgetown has no intention of
allowing the Tigers an unnecessary ad-
vantage can be seen from the fact that
Bobby Blewett is to be sent into the box
from the jump. He is a star manipu-
lator Of the horsehide, and Georgetown
is confident that there will be no liberties
taken with his delivery.
The Princeton games are always the
most exciting of any played on the local
diamond, and from all indications there
will be a large crowd of rooters pres
ent. Georgetown was rather weak in this
at the Yale game, and while it is
true that they were not given many op
pcrtunities for exIltant yells, still sys-
tematic cheering does a great deal to-
ward giving the boys new life; besides, it
sometimes rattles the opposing bunch.

What Is a Glove Contest?

The distinction between a prizefght
and glove contest has never been made,
as the question is now raised for thu
first time.
The law makes no reference to anything
but ''priZefights." The attorney general is
not in the city, and the matter may not
be referred to him unless it is presented
to the Governor by the sheriff OF Charles
ton.
AS the matter stands the public wishes
the fight; the people want to see it, They
seem TO think it would be no harm TO
give Charleston the benefit of the doubt
and let it be pulled OFF without question.

Amateur ball players will shortly be

cured restraining the Raleigh team of
the North Carolina League from coping
out the best and spiriting them away

to five.
