Annapolis and Played in a
Snow Storm.
Special plspateh to Zine Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March 24.-The base
ball team of George Washington Univer-
sity of Washington was easily defeated by
the nlidshipmen of the Naval Academy here
this afternoon by II to s. 1t was the OPEN
ing game of the season in Annapolis. The
weather was anything but favorable for
base bali. A raw. chilly wind blew from
the northeast and the players and specfa-
tors alike suffered from the effects. II was
agreed to stop after the sixth inning owing
to the conditions. Snow was falling at
that time. The fielding of the Washington
lads was loose, and the majority of the
Middies' runs resulted therefrom.
Annapolis played snappy game. About
LEGO persons braved the elements, but they
could not endure it long. and scarcely 100
remained until the end of the game. Ice
formed over the water in the drinking pals.
George Washington started the scoring
in the first by making two runs. Bradley
reached first on bunt after Price was
thrown out at second. Burkett was hit
by the ball. and both scored on Morissey's
single. The Middies. however, scored six,
three hits. couple of errors, one man Icing
hit by the ball and base on balls TO an
other doing the work, Annapolis scored
one in each the second and third and fourth
innings. but the visitors were unable to do
anything until the fifth, when me ranre
was added. Price. who had reached the
bag, scored On Bradieys single The Mid
dies got eight runs in the same inning by
three hits and az many errors and bases
on balls. Van Auken gave the Washing
tonians two more In the sixth by hitting
one batter and allowing four others to walk
to the first bag. The locals made their
last run in their half of the closing inning.
The midshipmen put into the field today
team composed of seven of the veterans
of last years nine. which made a COM
mendable record, the two who graduated
being Spofford. center field, and New hor-
ter, second base. All of the men have Inn

tons are ably filled. Thibauit has been
shifted from right field to Spofford's place.

GUS rubin SAYS
HE'S QUIT THE GAME
Declares That There's No One
Left Worth Fighting Since
Jeffries Retired.

Yes, sir, am out of the fighting game"
said Gus Rubin recently. Il find that
there Is more money and less strenuous
life in the real estate business.
I've made up my mind to get out Of this
sporting game and be substantial man of
business. No vaudeville, or stage trick. or
saloon, or diamond shop game for mine I
am going to deal in the real, old downright
Mother Earth-the terra Gotta, as the fell
low says. or the terra frma, which is the
correct pronunciation.
I've got just enough real estate to make
me banker for more, and I'm going to
parley what's left of my bank roll on sec
tons OF the good old Long Island.
Gus Rubin is one of the richest of pugil-
lists. He has never been champion, but
since he. left his happy home in Akron,
Ohio, he has been fighting the topnotchers
in the heavyweight class, from Jeffries on
down. and instead of wasting his earnings
in the designations which appeal to many
in Cashei Byrons profession he has laid
away and wisely invested his dollars, with
the result that he has more than the ma
jority of the men who have fought for a
living.
i've bade twenty-three to this fighting
game" he said. There's nothing more in
1t. I've tried to get match for nearly a
year now and none of them will meet me,
so / figure when q man can't get work, no
matter from what cause, It's time for him
TO try some other line. Besides there ain
nobody in the business now that l think
would even amuse me. I thought Hart
might, but since his licking by this guy
Burns, / can't figure where anybody's left
now. Jeffries has retired now for good.
so It's retire for Gus. I'm glad TO think
that it'll never be necessary for me to train
any more. I'm willing to grow old and fat,
grateful-like. I'll not even object to a lit
tie govt now and then. But this Long
Island thing takes my eye. That land that
Jim Corbett bought over there has in
creased-Wonderful and / don't see why
cant do the same.
