GEORGETOWN BOYS ARE
OUT FOR PRACTICE
Football Enthusiasts Show Up in Good
Form for the Seasons
Work. 9

A number of the Georgetown football
days practice yesterday. The play did
not last long, as it is almost too warm
for any fast work as yet. Although 1t
was the second day, the men moved
faster and showed more steam than they
did on previous days. Within short
time all the fcctballers will have re-
turned from their vacations, and the
team will be rapidly whipped into shape
for its first game. Although there will
not be many of last years players on
this years team, the Blue and Gray
promises to have one of the. swiftest
aggregations in the history of the Uni
versity.
About dozen men showed up for
practice yesterday. Among them were
Gibbons, Hayden. Burns. Charlie and Joe
Seitz, ex-Captain Barry, Captain Joseph
Reilly, Preston and Sherwood Edmons-
ton. Monohan and Dissell. All of these
lads are big, husky chaps, and will do
their level best to secure positions on
the team. This year, as It has always
been, the man who shows up best in
this or that position will get it, and no
favorites will be played. The more the
candidates work, the greater their
chances for securing position.
4 Dissell is a new man in the football
world. He has attended the law school
for two years, and is fine baseball
player, although he has not as yet
launched himself into footballdom
Shot ID he secure a position in the line,
Georgetown will have one of the best
men ever placed there, and can depend
upon Dissell to stop anybody who is de-
sirous of breaking through the Blue and
Gray line
Coach H. H. suter. Princeton, who
worked most miraculous change in the
part OF the season, will coach the
Georgetown lads this year. He is a
splendid coach for the men back of the
line, and the remarkable Improvement in
the team last year was due to his efforts
Coach Church. who had charge of the
team during the season. did not pay so
much attention to the backs as he did
to the linemen, and consequently the
men behind the line did not know the
game as we'll as those upon whom he
had bestowed most of his time. When
Suter was engaged to assist Church the
team showed improvement from his first
day at the college. and from then on
to the end of the season their work was
surprising. He inspired the boys with
confidence, and got more out of them
than any other coach that Georgetown
has ever had. Under his training this
year Georgetown should have no trouble
in maintaining her record upon the
gridiron.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEN
HOLD A CONFERENCE
Are Becoming Alarmed Over
the Baseball Outlook.
More Conservative Members Favor Oy-
ertu1es Of Peace to the
American League.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16-The National
League men will have another confer
ence here September "a, when the base
ball situation. over which they are doing
considerable serious thinking, owing to
the vigorous presence of the American
League, Will be further discussed. It
is expected that at that time a definite
plan of action for strengthening the Ma
tional Leagues defenses will have beer
arrived at, and from that time on the
lines agreed or. Two or three methods
of procedure are believed to have been
discussed by the magnates at their con-
fab this week. but if there were any
suggestions as to peace they did not
escape through the doors of the star
chamber.
Favor Peace 0vertures.
Nevertheless one or two of the league
men have expressed themselves as in
favor of pacific measures, recognizing
the solidity OF the American League and
believing it better to be on friendly
footing with such a strong organization
than indulging in a war which means,
among other things. salaries for players
which are too steep for the welfare Of
the box Office. x
John 7. Brush says the. National
League has had a better year financially
than the American. Their best towns
have been Boston and Philadelphia. he
said. but they have no towns which
are as good as New York or Pittsburg
for revenue. We have outdrawn them in
Chicago and st. Louis. If the American
League had grounds in New York,
believe they would have made known
their location. 1t would give the American
advertising and be to their advantage
generally to have it known that they
had grounds.
Meanwhile the American League is
keeping its own counsel.

BALTIMORE. Md, Sept. 16.--Manager
Hanlon, while in the city, made some
significant references to the baseball
situation next season. While practical
ly denying the possibility of trans
fer OF the Brooklyn franchise to Balti-
more, he admitted that anything is pos
sible in baseball. He also adhered to
the opinion previously expressed that the
National League circuit next season
would consist of twelve clubs.
He did hazard one positive opinion
that the American League would con-
tinue on at the same old stand next
year, and proceeded to give his reasons
for this position. He said:
No Grounds Available.

cannot find paying foothold in New

to go up into the Bronx, and i know

 About midway between Solomonville and Stafford Mir. T. O'Brien has one of the finest apple orchards to be found anywhere in Arizona. He has now over 5000 trees growing. though many of them are yet too young to bear fruit. These trees include the Ben Davis. Winesap, Kansas Black and other va rieties. All of the trees are young, the oldest having only raised two crops. MT O'Brien has given his trees the best of care and they are all symet- rical and of even sizes.
 The crop this year was not more than a third of what would be consid- cred an average crop. owing to the killing frosts. MT. O'Brien marketed about 10000 pounds and they went with a rush from the time they were picked until all were sold; q good many were shipped to various towns. but most of them were bought by ped dlers, who hauled them away to the mining camps. The crop was sold for 3 cents a pound. and Mr. O'Brien could have sold three times as many. His crop yielded him about S2.000.

4 TIME FOR SILENCE
 BRYAN SAYS NOTHING

Cleveland. O.. Jan. 5.-Hon. William J. Bryan spent today the guest of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson. He goes to Wooster, O., tomorrow. to speak at the Jackson day banquet tomorrow night Thence he goes to New Haven. Conn. where he will speak at the Jackson day banquet on Wednesday.
 Concerning the democratic platform .lr. Bryan said he thought 1t was too he believed the party would stand by what it has fought for in the past two campaigns and a money plank would be included in the platform. Regard ing his own candidacy for the presi- dency, Mir. Bryan said he was not candidate for anything.
 Being asked if he considered Mayor Johnson q logical candidate for the democratic nomination for the presi- dency in 1904. MT. Bryan said:
 There is nobody in the United States who is at present qualified to name the democratic candidate. If would hardly be proper for me to assume the right to discuss any particular candidate at present. This IS because I am not pre- pared to discuss the relative merits of men who might be associated with the Johnson is concerned. every well ip- formed man in the country knows Mir Johnson and his work: but when you come to discuss presidential possibili- ties. that's another question
