AND GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Manager Roy Cleveland Hefebower of the
George Washington University foot hall
team has received communication from
Mr.. Edward B. Mclean. son of Mr. John
X. Mclean of this city, who says he de-
sires to of1er silver cup TO be competed
for by the foot bali teams OF George
washington University and Georgetown
University. According to the stipulations
In Mr.. McLean's letter to Manager Hefe-
bower. the cup Is TO be the property of the
university whose team shall be- at the end
or three consecutive seasons. the winner
or the majority of games played One game
Is to be played each season. The details
and conditions of the contest are to be
arranged by Joint committee representing
the athletic associations of the two uni
versitfes, and consisting OF three members
from each association. Pending the final
determination of the contest, the cup is to
remain In the possession of the university
whose team wins the last game
Immediately upon receiving the communf-
cation Manager Hefebower consulted
members of the faculty of George Wash
ington University and after Mr.. Mclean
had been consulted in regard to the matter,
the George Washington University Athletic
Association appointed Manager Hefebower
Capt. Benz. G. STEVENSON of the football
team anu MI u bidlr, faculty MEMBER
OF the athletic council of the university,
as the three members to represent the
Buff and Blue.
The athletic association OF Georgetown
University was also notified Of the purpose
of Mr.. Mclean and appointed Manager
Egan of the base ball team, Manager Hani-
gan of the foot ball team and President
Cockrell of the University Athletic Associa-
tion as the members to represent the Blue
and Gray in the arrangements which will
be made for the contests between the foot
ball teams of the two universities
The members from the two universities
will meet at the home of Manager Heae-
bower. on New Hampshire avenue and
Washington Circle tomorrow evening at 8
O'Clock.
The representatives of George Washing
ton University said Manager Hefebower
last evening, will go into the conference
to insist upon a strict eligibility code" The
offering of the cup seems to be an oppor-
tunity for the two universities to come
together on the strict eligibility code that
the Blue and Gray inaugurated at the be-
ginning of this season. The desire of tho
George Washington management seems to
be that several players of the Blue and
Gray Will be held up to the limelight and
have their eligibility closely examined The
result of the meeting will be looked forward
TO by the students of the two universities
with much interest to If the represent
tatives of the universities have the same
opinions as to the strict ruling as to ell
gibility OF the gridiron warriors who will
play in the contest.

WITH THE BOWLERs
OF THE DISTRICT

Since the tie for first place In the cham
pionship race was broken after the second
weeks bowling In the Departmental
League, when the Interior quint forged to
the head of the list, that notch has been
held by the ex-champions, but the last two
weeks on the alleys have brought forth a
new league leader"-the Treasury team
Three teams were close up In the race, the
Interiors first. Treasury second and Agri-
culture third. Last Friday the Navy Yard
Quint made great squirt, the Interiors
slumped, and the result was triple victory
for the sailors. The same night the Treas
ury downed the farmers for two games and
took the lead in the race. DeYo of the
Treasury team, who has held second place
for several weeks, ran a 600 string in his
last set. while Lennon, in his two matches.

Treasury is again to the front in team

The Navy Yard team, which stood sixth
with an even 500 percentage has passed the
Bureaus, Post Office and Commissioners,
and is now in third place, the Bureaus
dropping from third to tie with Agricul-

HOW THE RUBBER
PLATE CAME INTO USE

The maner in which the pitchers rub
Der plate was brought into the code Of
rules may be interesting. Intense rivalry
existed between the Cincinnati and Louis
Vile teams of the American Association,
which was at its height in 1885, when Guy
Hecker was the star pitcher and player
of the Louisville team. and Tony Mullane
was the especially brilliant pitching star
of the Cincinnati team.
At that time the pitchers box was
space four by six feet in dimensions. de-
fined by lines. Hecker had a habit of dig
ging holes In the ground in the back cor
ners of the box, which permitted him to
pitch what Is known as a crossfre ball
with great effect.
Upon arriving at the Cincinnati park on
a Sunday. Hecker soon learned by bitter
experience that the spots In the box which
he usually excavated had been filed with
cement concrete, and to dig g. hole with
the toe of his shoe was an impossibility.
In consequence he had his troubles in
that game. The Cincinnati team was TO
play in Louisville the following Sunday,
and II was up to Louisville to win.
Hecker and the players held council OF
war, read the rules carefully. and soon be-
came satisfied that there was no law which
scheme they had concocted. which was as
follows: Mullane had habit OF taking a
run as he pitched the ball, always stepping
outside in front of the legal limits OF the
box. The plan was to put a hard. smooth
substance where the forward line of the
box was drawn: just what substance could
not be determined though marble sug-
gested itself as the proper and most eff
cient agent to fulfill the plan.
The club had no marble slab. and as
marble slab must be had one was pro-
cured. There are secrets In all kinds OF
business, and where that marble slab came
from Was and has been base ball Sc
cret. Some one made a partial con-
fession by saying that some dead Ken
tuckian is minus his grayestone, unless
new one has been erected to take the
place OF the one which disappeared in 1885.
Mullane and the gravestone could not work
IN harmony.
o. p. Caylor. manager Of the Cincinnati
club, could find no law which forbade the
use OF the gravestone, and what was done
to Mullane that day by the Louisville bats
men was so impressive that the grave
stone idea was soon adopted by the other
teams when they played against Gin
cinnatis. Hence, by natural evolution, the
stone or marble, became rubber, with all
the sother old lines OF the pitchers box
eliminated. The rubber plate has been re-
duced IN length. width and position. un-
I'll now 1t seems to BE- satisfactory to ALL

THE ARMY RATION.
A Good Suggestion from an Old Sol
der.

The government has been export
mcnting for some years seeking a con-
denscd food to be used by soldiers i'll
case Of cmr rgency vhcn the army shall
cut loose from its base Of supplies and
cast off it's wagon trains and the troops
shall carry their rations for a number
of days in their havcrsacks. While
some progress has been made the
problem has not Vet been solved.
A veteran from the Civil War, writ
ing from New England says in this
connections:
Il have been using GrapeNutS food
for som" time, and my liking for it in
crcases with use. I find it extremely
palatablc. and not only digestible, but
an aid to the digestion of other food
which used to give me- trouble.
What has particularly struck me is
the fact that very small quantity Of
il is sufficient for an entire meal
that really need no other food. 1t IS
nv custom to begin my breakfast with
two heaping tablcspoonfulS of Grape
Nuts with cream. by the time | have
eaten that find that my appetite has
been completely satisfied. | feel tn"
brcakfa sted wisely and well. and while
| sometimes eat Il little of other things
I do IL more as q matter Of habit than
ANYTHING else. | find that | can go till
noon on the two tableSpoonfuls of
GRAPE Nuts and cream alone, and what
is also an important consideration,
without any uncomfortable sense of
fullness such as l usually feel when l
eat nv old style breakfast. Especially
is this so if l drink cup Of good. hot
Postum Coffee with the meal. for |
,nust confess the old kind Of coffee fills
mo full Of gas and discomfort for some
hours after l drink it.
Now is has occurred to me that
Crane Nuts food ought to be added to
the army ration for the reason that 1t
furnishes 50 much satisfying. nourish-
ing food in such small bulk. SOL
der with a package of Grape-Nuts in
his hayersack would have food supply
ADEQUATE for several days of marching
and fighting. 1t wouldn't take UP
much room, and the weight IS moth
