ident Crawford. In the absence of Col. Brett,
presided over the meeting. It was decided
to revise the schedule and reorganize the
Seague, and as no more games are to be

plenty of time for the managers Of the re-

As soon as the registration committee acts

TALKING BASE BALL
AT GEORGE WASHINGTON

Though base ball time Is still some dis
lance off the members Of the squad from
which the team of the George Washington
University will be chosen are getting to-
gether and talking of the chances OF the
university to be represented upon the dia-
mond next season by a winning aggrega-
ton. short time ago -Moffett Bradley
was elected captain of the team. Dallas
G. Sutton, an old Western High School
boy. who guided the work of the base ball
team last year. was reelected manager.
At the meeting of the base ball men, held
a week ago, Douglass McEnery was elected
as the assistant manager Of the team. This
was wise selection, as the new assistant
manager will doubtless do good work in
the preparations which are being made Tor
the team during the coming season. He Is
a freshman, and though Mr.. Sutton will be
the manager. the major part of the work
Will fail upon the assistant manager He
is at present working upon the arrange
ments for the schedule for the team dur
ing the coming season. 1t is more than
probable that games will be arranged with
several of the best teams in this section of
the country. The first game which has
been arranged viii be that with the mid
shipmen at Annapolis, which Is expected
to be one that will show the calfber of
the Buff and Blue team. Other games will
be arranged shortly

ARMY-NAVY GAMES
FOR NEW YORK

NEW YORK, December 9.-After the foot
ball conference at the Murray Hill Hotel
yesterday Lieut.. Col. HawZe, one Of the
West Point delegates, announced that a res
olution had been passed at West Point to
use every means possible to secure the
transfer of the annual game between West
Point and Annapolis to this city, to be
played either al the Polo Grounds or Ameri-
can League Park. What Annapolis thinks
of the plan has not been learned. but 1t Is
known that the midshipmen are against
either Princeton for another season or a
return to Franklin Field, Philadelphia. 1t
is presumed that they will favor New York
and that the game will be arranged for this
city.
The arrangements at Princeton were sat
isfactory in so far as the university could
make them, but the railroad facilities were
so almost entirely lacking that it is impos-
sible TO play there again. Franklin Field
has been put out Of the question by quar-
rel over tickets.
In this city 10000 persons could see the
game, The railroad and hotel facilities are
ample, and the city Is equally convenient to
both institutions. 1t Is possible to entertain
friends and remain in town over night,
thus fostering the real purpose of the game
to bring the students OF the two branches
of the service together and enable them to
fraternize.
