LACROSS HAS PULL AT HOPKINS
Decision to Cut Out Baseball and
and Football Not Popular.

Baltimore, Nd Dec. Woe is i'm the
hearts of the Johns Hopkins fans. for
the board of governors of the General
Athletic Association of the university has
come to the unfortunate conclusion that.
inasmuch as Hopkins has the champion
ship in lacrosse. the retention Of the
common game of baseball is a needless
expense.
Accordingly. the hopes of many stu
dents who desired To see Hopkins put a
good baseball team in the field have been
shattered. The question was the subject
Of considerable debate between the few
members of the board who are interested
in baseball and those who are devoted to
the uniyersitys one sport-lacrOsse. The
discussion was cut of by the president.
and the motion for the association to
back baseball was lost by vote of =
to l.
The position of Hopkins as regards
baseball is thus probably definitely set
tied. for baseball enthusiasts at the uni
versity are by no means DESTROYS OF at
tempting 10 organize a team without the
sanction and the monetary backing of
the board.

VIRGINIA BREEDERS ORGANIZE
Plan Improvement of Hunters and to
Make Glass A Standard.


virginia breeders and horsemen are
taking steps to organize the Hunters
Improvement Society, which, as the
name suggests, is for the improvement
of the hunting stock in the old Do
minion.
The hunter is essentially the horse
OF Virginia. Nowhere else in the United
States is hunting so universally
popular For years the hunters bred
and schooled there have stood pre-
eminent as representing the highest
type OF hunter.
But the Virginia breeders are not
satisfied and will organize with the
view Of Improving their favOrite horse
until the Virginia hunter will be rec
ogniZed as the standard of the world
The great need of the new organ
ization is stations OF the proper type
They must be thoroughbred. of course,
and an appeal is made to those in
charge of the great thoroughbred in
terests Of the country for their CO.
operation. They promise that stations
of the proper class donated will be re-
ceived with the highest appreciation,
and win be intelligently used
The movement is worthy one and
should have the cooperation OF turf
men everywhere. It means broadening
the field Of usefulness for the thor
oughbred. and viii go long way to-
ward removing the prejudice against
tht blood horse as being a mere racing
machine.
In the old days Virginia held a
prominent place in breeding thorough
breds. and no other State in the
country is better adapted TO this pur-
pose.
