SLAGPILE NOTES

Only one game was played in the Southern league yesterday. Montgomery had the best of Atlanta until the last inning, when a rally gave the home team two runs and the game.
 The Barons have an excellent chance to take two of three games from Nash vile and the rain yesterday was to be regretted. The team may take the re- maining two games or 1t may break even. Judging from the dope on the two teams, both contests should go to the Barons.
 The Birmingham team had an excellent break with luck in every way since 1t came home May 29 Only once did rain prevent a game and the attendance has been larger than ever before in the his- tory of the game in the city.
 The luck extended to winning games. More than three-fourths of the games were won by the home team and the Barons climbed the percentage ladder from a bad fifth place to good second place.

THE GREAT LAJOIE.
Biggest Card on the Base Ball Diamond
Today.

Larry Lajoie is without doubt the great
est card in base ball since the days of
Mike Kelly" said the old Tan In the Bos-
ton Herald. Like Kelly, Larry is a great
all-around player; he is a dashing, good
looking fellow, possessed Of lots of mag
netism, and he is good fellow personally.
Lajoe is modest to fault. Some per-
sons who don't know the man miscOnstrue
his decent modesty for swell-headedness
For young man who Is lauded and doomed
by press and public alike as Larry has
been these years back he gives the least
evidence of being swelled up Of any man
1 ever knew.
1T is actually pleasure to know such
a man, just for that one trait alone.
have frequently seen him sitting chatting
with poor working boys as pleasantly as
could be, while have as many times seen
him hold aloof from more pretentious look
ing people.
"Lajoie is a plain. everyday. good-hearted
sort of a fellow, and any one who knows
him well can't help liking him.
He has certainly doomed base ball In
player. He takes difficult chances with
such apparent ease that half Of his really
great plays are not noticed.
Hans Wagner makes great show over
ter-of-fact fashion. AS a batter-well.
what's the use In saying anything about
Lajoies hitting?
I'VE all know he Is phenomenon with
the willow. really look to see him play
the game of his life next season, because
know he will be go eager to have his
team in front that he will play harder than
ever.
'Lajoie has been great star ever since
his advent in Cleveland, but next summer
look to see him even outshine himself.
1t will be worth the price Of admission
alone to see the Napoleon at work.

CHAMPION WRESTLER COMING.
Grant Expects to Stand Off Gotch To-
morrow Night.

Frank Gotch, who is to meet Joe Grant
in a wrestling match at the Washington
Light Infantry Armory tomorrow evening.
is expected to reach Washington early in
the morning. He writes that he will take
a sleeper. get a good nights rest, and. when
he arrives here. will be feeling fit to put
up the exhibition of his life. Gotch has
his hands full nowadays. for tonight he
meets Jim Parr in New York, agreeing to
throw the Englishman twice in an hour,
but the champion of America writes that he
expects to handle Parr as he has done all
the other men he has met, including Tom
Jenkins, from whom he recently won the
championship. Gotch has signed articles to
throw Grant three times in an hour, and 1t
promises to be the busiest hour the Wash
ington wrestler has spent in long time.
The champion has been performing the
same feat against men with wider reputa-
tious than Grant and of more weight, but
1t is doubtful IL he ever met an opponent
Of Grants pounds who was capable of such
q strong defense the Washington man
can put up. But, although Grant Is ex-
pected to provide lively exhibition and
cause Gotch no little trouble. the general
impression is that Gotch will put his shoul-
ders down three times in the specified time.
Grant himself expects to be thrown once
or twice but has been able to stand off so
many good big men that he says he has
more than fighting chance to prevent the
third fall.

aEoReErowN's MEET.
Splendid Relay Contests Are Now As
sured.

All the minor details have been carefully
looked after and it is predicted that the
annual indoor meet of Georgetown Univer-
sity scheduled for Convention Hall tomor-
row night will surpass all records. The
entry list has been exceptionally large, in
fact larger by fifty than the one of last
year, which was record breaker in that
regard, and 1t embraces every bright par
ticular star in collegiate athletics and ath-
letic associations of America, and hence
great sport is anticipated by the crowd
that will attend.
While the sprints. invitation, novice and
handicaps will afford unlimited attraction.
as all want to see the champion run, yet
the greater drawing card will be the many
relay team races that will occur during the
games There will be Princeton against
Georgetown, Cornell and Columbia. George
Washington and Western Maryland.
Georgetown Law against University of
Maryland, George Washington freshmen
against Georgetown freshmen, Central High
School and Baltimore City College, the all
"preps'' against the Jacob Tome, Carroll
sociation of Baltimore and many others
that will serve to keep the sporting blood
enthused all evening.
In the short distance invitation sprints
such flyers as Champion Seitz of George
town will meet Champion Eaton of AM
herst, Dick Dear of the University of Penn
sylvania. fresh from his victory at Ford
ham; Castleman of Colgate: Capt. McCar-
thy of Georgetown: Hill of Johns Hopkins;
Sullivan of Georgetown; Torrey of Yale.
Amsley of Pennsylvania, and Cattleman of
Cornell This will make quartet of sprint
ers that will make every man do his best
to land himself winner. What a sight II
will be. Then, too. the better part of the
above will start in the 220 yards. and 1t
is In this race that endurance has mucn
to do with winning. as 1t is a fight all the
way, from the crack of the pistol until the
tape Is reached.
Dr. Grant. president OF the southern div
ision OF the A. A. u, will act as referee:
Evening star., 1905-02-24

Osterhaus of New York will be the clerk
of the course, while the other positions will
be filed by men of national repute in their
various places.
The committee In charge will see that
there Is no crowding in the center of the
hoor during the contests, only the
officials and those participating in the races
will be allowed thereon. While awaiting
their turn in the contests all runners must
remain sitting on the floor.
The friends of Dick Dear in the Central
High School are preparing to give him
rousing reception
The first race. that for novices at fifty
yards. will be called for the starting heat
at 30 o'clock sharp. This will be fol-
lowed by the scholastic fifty yards. which
In turn, will be followed by the fifty-yards
handicap. This Is a bad arrangement. as
some of the runners are entered in all
three. and they will not have much breath
ing spell.
The George Washington freshmen team is
very confident that Ii will win a victory
from Georgetown. as under the coaching
of DR.. Bryan 1t has developed into
first-class team. The hopes of George
Washington are based in this race. Cham
pion Seitz has fully recovered from his
cold, ana is in excellent form once again.

TIGERS IN TROUBLE.
Mid-Year Examinations Break Up
Foot Ball Team.

AS result of Prnceton's recent mid
year examinations, which resulted disas-
trously to the freshman class in general,
the varsity foot ball team has lost two OF
its most promising players. F. w. Ritter,
1908, Of Greenwich. Conn.,, and E. Stan
nard. 1908, Of st. Louis. Mo-, both Of whom
came into sudden prominence last season.
Stannard. though a. comparatively new
hand at the game when he came to Prince
ton. developed unusual ability. which. COM
bined with his weight and his willingness
to learn. promised to make him valuable
for the next three years. Ritter did strong
work in the back field, both at quarter and
at left half. 81
Most unfortunate of all is that, according
to faculty rule, these men will not be at
lowed to play, even If they re-enter college
next year. They are debarred until 1916
This Is a rule peculiar TO Princeton and Is
not in force in any other university.
Stannard. because of his weight, VIII be
hard to replace. But even with him on the
field. the line did not give promise of much
strength for next season. Last fall II suf-
fered severely for lack of weight against
Yale. whose line averaged fourteen pounds
more to each man. The loss Of Ritter
leaves the problem of left half serious
one. In addition, the graduation of Captain
Foulke and Shorty" King will leave even
the right half empty of veterans.

BATTLING NELSON CONFIDENT.
Expects to Whip Young Corbett to
Pulp.

eff Corbett beats me people will say that
I was Just lucky, that never could fight
and that l caught Hanlon and Herrera and
Corbett and all the others when they weren t
right, and that it was an accident that L
won. That's the way they would talk once
1 was down, particularly some of those Chi
cago fighters, like Tommy Mowatt, who are
Jealous of me- But they won't get the
chance. I'll beat Corbett to pulp says
Battling Nelson in special from San Fran
cisco, dated last night.
Battling Nelson stated that he was down
to 1874 pounds and could take off the re-
naming four pounds If necessary to make
the specified 13O pounds for his fight with
Young Corbett within twenty-four hours.
This talk about my not making the
weight is all nonsense" said Nelson. Il
could have been down to 13O pounds week
age If 1 had wished. l will enter the ring
next Tuesday night weighing in the neigh
borhood of 12S pounds, and i will be at my
very best. Those who think am underesti-
mating Corbett to the extent of not prepar-
ing myself fully to meet him will be badly
mistaken. AS a matter of fact, L never
trained as am training now.
Il have as much at stake In this fight as
in my last mill with Corbett. If fail to de-
feat Corbett again all that have done up
to this time will count for nothing. People
will say that 1 was just lucky, that I never
could fight, that l caught Hanlon and Her
rera and Corbett and all the others when
they weren't right. and that it was acci-
dental that won. Oh, know them. That's
the way they would talk once l was down,
particularly some of those fighters in Chi
cago, like Tommy Mowatt, who are jealous
of me. But they won't get the chance this
time. Not your life. l will be in the
condition of my life when I enter the ring
next Tuesday night, and 1 will whip Corbett
to pulp.
'I am glad that they are making me the
outsider in the betting again. They never
will learn anything, these wise-guy bettors.
Still, If they insist on making Corbett the
favorite I suppose shouldn't object. I'll
get bigger returns on my money, that's ALL"

Posr-sEAsoN GAMES.
Players Share in the Receipts is Large
Enough.


John B. Foster. the New York expert.
has come to the conclusion that the play
ers on championship teams will be we'll
enough paid for their services in the post
season series, rules to govern which were
adopted last week. He says:
lone or two have commented rather un-
favorably on the division of gate receipts
for the worlds series in base ball. Thev
assert the players have not been awarded
enough of the gate receipts. It seems a
little hard on the owners to take position
Of that kind when all the circumstances
are taken into consideration.
For example, suppose that the gate re-
ceipts of the first four games should
amount to So, ,OOO which is a very small
estimate If the weather should be favorable
to the games being played.
"Of that amount the national commission
would be given 10 per cent-the sum Of
$2,500-which is to be used to purchase the
worlds championship pennant, pay the um-
pires. purchase the Individual embIems for
the members of the winning team-and they
will be emblems worth having-and provide
for such other expenses as may be found
necessary to conduct the series with sue
cess. --tf
"Deducting 81 500 from the total receipts
Of 5000 leaves the sum of 500 500 OF this
amount 40 per cent goes to the players who
take part in the games This would amount
to $1,000. Seventy-fve per cent of the
$1,000 would. go to the winning team
sum of $3.50. and % per cent would go to
the losing team, sum of So $50
After the sum Of 5000 Is taken from the
$22, 500 there would be left $500 to be di-
vided equally between the owners Of the
clubs competing. giving each owner Sc, 75O
1T must be borne In mind, however, that
while this series is being conducted the
players are put to no expense whatever
The owners guarantee to maintain their
salaries. even If the games should extend
beyond the contract period of the players.
and also must pay the ground rent and all
incidental expenses necessary for the en-
pleyes of the ground. the advertising and
the hundreds and one little things which
are part of the base ball owners burden.
The players will not be required to pay
their travelling expenses; in fact, In every
way will be cared for as IL the regular
longed.
