LIKES COLLEGE PLAYERS.
Manager Murray Believes They Can
MAKE Good" in Fast Company.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 15.-Bil1y Murray.
the hustling manager of the Jersey City
team. is one OF the many base ball man
ayers who believe in the ability of college
ball tossers to make good in fast company.
There's nothing like a good. hustling
college player to infuse ginger into a team
when things are going bad" said Billy, In
discussing the subject recently. I don't
mean to imply by this that a team COM
posed of four or five collegians and the
rest tried stock will stand a chance with
a team composed Of players who have
undergone a thorough course In the minor
leagues.
There are times. however. when team
Is In the slough Of dependency when a
Fast i2seider with plenty of ginger, substl-
tuted for some one else, will work wonders.
His activity will stir the others to liven up
their work
AS an evidence OF his belief in college
players. Murray has signed two ripe young
sters for his Jersey City team. one OF
them, Ed. Grant of Harvard Law School,
Is an infielder. Murray is loud in his praise
of this fellow, who, he says, will develop
into a second Billy Gilbert as a fielder, and
is a much better hitter than the Giants
second baseman.
Tom Irwin, catcher from Lafayette. is
another who Murray says will produce the
goods. So we'll is the player thought of
as a backstop that he was drafted from
the Jersey City team by the Philadelphias
this year But he was not retained by
the Quakers. for, under the drafting rule,
but two players can be taken from one
club and the "Phillies' held on to two
others whom they need most. Irwin was
kept on the Jersey City payroll two months
last fall without playing game, but Muir
ray thinks him a wonder.
In George McQuillan. who plays under the
name of Mack, Murray has a clever pitcher.
He was considered the best pitcher In the
New England League last year.

EVENTS OF THIS WEEK.
Important Happenings Scheduled for
Next Six Days.

Among the worlds happenings for this
week the most important is the Moroccan
conference, which will assemble tomorrow
January 16, at Algeciras. Spain. Eleven
European countries and the United States
will send representatives. Henry White,
ambassador to Italy. and Samuel r. Gum
mere, minister to Morocco, will represent
the United States, with Lewis Einstein,
third secretary Of the London embassy, as
secretary Of the American mission. France
and Germany are the two most important
factors in the conference, and the attitude
Of their representatives win be followed
closely. Although it is yet to be decided
whether the decisions of the conference
must be unanimous, the balance Of power
lies with the other nations; SO there Is
every reason to hope that conservatism
will govern the outcome of the negotiations
In Great Britain the general elections will
continue. Saturdays decisions, however
which showed such unexpected liberal
gains. make 1t a foregone conclusion that
the government Will have an ample work
ing majority.
The election Of new president OF the
French republic will be coincident with the
converting of the French national assem-
bly, on January IT. This assembly is made
up of members of the senate and chamber
Of deputies. President Loubet has stated
election, which seems to leave the choice
between Clemont-Armani Fallieres, the
newly elected president of the senate, and
M. Doumer, president of the chamber. The
formers chances apparently are considered
best. but Premier Rouyier also has a fol-
lowing which may develop in the ballot
Ing. In spite of President Loubet's an
nounced intention, however. not to become
candidate for reelection, 1T Is possible he
may reconsider the matter.
January 90 will be the anniversary of
Red Sunday in st. Petersburg, but prep
arations have been made to celebrate il this
year on January 81 aud o. Intense inter-
est is felt in the manner In which the peo-
pie will commemorate the day, for 1t will
show to what extent the Russian govern
ment has succeeded In restoring quiet The
workmens council has called q general pa
cific strike for January %, and there viii
be parades and meetings held in memory
of the day.
Among the conventions for this week the
most important are:
The second national conference on prf-
mary election and ballot reform, to be held
In New York beginning today, at which
time primary election reform. ballot re-
form and corrupt practices acts win be
discussed.
The United Mine Workers convention
which meets at Indianapolis tomorrow
January l6. will consider an adjustment OF
wage scale which affects at least 500. 600
miners throughout the country
The American Protective Tariff League
Will hold Its annual meeting in New York
on January Is.

ing will take place during the week OF the
championship. and at point accessible TO

Those interested In the success OF the new
body have already ascertained that there
are more than 1,0<U clubs In the territory

District of Columbia.
With the championship of the Women's
Estern Golf Association in the spring an
important addition will have been made to
the list of prominent fixtures in this section
of the country. The new championship will
doubtless be In conjunction with the tri-
city matches between the Metropolitan Bos-

the number of decorations bestowed on the
officials associated with the policy of rep

proletarfat organizations are concerned. Is
the best hated man in public life. has been
promoted from acting minister Of the In

fuence of the bureaucratic hierarchy. 1t is
significant that in the annual renewal of
appointments Count Solsky, president OF
the council OF the empire, and the heads
of departments IN the council have been
appointed until the reorganization OF That
body"
The note struck by the radical press IN
reviewing the past year. and commenting
on the outlook for the new year, Is an OK
tremely pessimistic one. These newspapers
generally see no prospect OF Internal peace
but they united In expressing the hope that
1905 will not end as did 1905. with the

THREE OPEN EVENTS ADDED
TO HIGH SCHOOL GAMES.

Three open handicap events-a 50-yard
dash, 440-yard run and one-mile run
have been added to the program OF the
third annual interscholastic indoor games
to be held at Convention Hall on the even
ing Of Saturday, February "a. These events
will be under the sanction of the Amateur
Athletic Union, and will be open to all col
lege men and other registered amateurs.
Sprinters, middle distance and long Substance
runners, outside the schools, throughout
the south Atlantic division will thus have
their only opportunity to appear In open
Indoor competition in Washington this
winter and Manager Foley has already re-
ceived assurances from the runners of the
athletic clubs and colleges of this city and
elsewhere which indicate that the open
events will fill as well as those for the
school boys.
The adding of the three open events will
make program Of seventeen events, not
including heats in the spirits and hurdle
race, giving the citizens of the national
capital three hours of constant, thrilling
competition in short and long distance
running, relay racing, hurdling and field
events.
The most interesting development of the
past week among the local schools has
been the remarkable enthusiasm shown by
the boys of Business High. In response to
a call for candidates for the track team
thirty boys reported and have been work
ing regularly every afternoon this week on
Business school building. The orange and
blue will be represented In all the inter
scholastic events and may have several
entries in the open handicap mile run The
greatest interest. however, Is being taken
In the one-mile relay race with Eastern
High. Although this is the first year that
Business has been represented by a relay
team there are dozen likely young candi-
dates from whom Physical Director Foley
declares a strong quartet can be picked.
1t has been suggested that one mile
relay race Tor teams In the Sunday School
Athletic Association be added to the pro-
gram Manager Foley said last night that
the management is willing to put on such
race IL there are a sufficient number Of
entries. 1t would be championship affair.
and 1t is believed that at least four teams
could be organized to decide the honor.
Manager Foley also announced last night
that the track In Convention Hall this year
will be twelve laps to the mile, instead of
eleven. This is done in order to make the
start and finish of all the longer races at
the same place. and make 1t possible to
run off the events in quicker time than
otherwise. The relay races, except that
for grade schools, will be a full mile, in
stead Of eight-elevenths, as heretofore.
