TURNER GETS TWO
STRAIGHT FALLS
Throws Young Parker in
Nine and Ten Minutes.
Good Showing.

Joe Turner, the Washington welter-
weight wrestler. threw Young Parker.
OF Baltimore, twice last night at Colum-
b!a Turnverein Hall, Seventh and I,
streets northwest
Turner gained the first fall in S min
Utes 20 seconds by a hammerlock, and
the second in 10 minutes by a half nell
son.
Parker had about fifteen pounds the
advantage in weight. but would have
been better Of had he been nearer Tur-
ners avodrdupois, as he was hog fat
and winded easily. He proved a fairly
good man, but was lacking in aggres-
siveneSs. and while he deliberated about
what next to do Turner squirmed out
Of the hole and got on top.
Turner'S showing was about the best
ne has made yet as an aggressive
wrestle- on the offense, IN which de-
partment is rapidly Improving He
used the scissors with effect, but every
time he got that hold in good working
order he found his man off the mat, and
had to begin all over again
Pat OConnor refereed the main bout,
and Joe Gutenberg was timekeeper.
In the first preliminary Jack Spauld-
ing and Mic Ross went fifteen minutes
to a draw.
In the second bout Bobby Baker, who
refereed the Preliminaries. gave the de-
cision TO William Blakeney, of Balti-
more, over Young Turner, on the
ground that Turner was not trying.

By THOMAS S. RICE.

President Tom Noyes. OF the Wash
ington baseball club. returned yester-
day from Chicago, where he had at
tended the American League meeting.
Mr.. Noyes Immediately proceeded 10
put the kibosh on those stories that he
had been left of the rules committee
and board of directors Of the American
League because Of the rumpus he
kicked up last spring when he thought
President Ban Johnson. OF the league.
tried to double-crOss this city In the
Jake Stahl case before the National
Commission. Mr.. Noyss said he was Of
fered his old place on the rules com
mittee, but has an engagement which
will prevent him attending the joint
meeting with the National League COM
mittee in New York in February, and
declined the place, which was then
given to Charles Comiskey.
Dodged Directors Job.
In regard to the dictatorship. Mr.
Noyes said It was a job nobody wanted,
as the directors have never done any
thing that could be seen with the naked
eye. and their annual meeting is largely
G. useless trip and a waste Of time for
busy men. Everybody showed the job
on somebody else, and President Taylor.
OF the Boston club. was stung for the
vacant place.
Mr.. Noyes denied positively there was
any politics in either Of the cases, and
said the meeting was the usual love
feast with everybody who had a crouch
carefully keeping 1t under cover in or
der to promote the interests OF the
league at large
Thinks Trade Was Wise.
While in Chicago Mr.. Noyes had a
number OF talks with Joe Cantilon.
and approved OF the managers trade Of
Charley Jones for Ollie Pickering, the
St. Louis American outhelder- Mr..
Noyes said a number OF expert base
ball men told him Cantillon had made
a wise trade. The general impression
seems 10 be that Jones is the much bet
ter man OF the two. but his relations
with CantiIon were so strained he either
would not have reported at all, or, II
he did, would have been so dissatisfied
the club could not have been certain
Of his best services. Under the circum-
stances Pickering, With his heart in
the work, was figured a more valuable
asset than Jones with a grievance.
Cantillon has perfected the plans for
the annual spring training trip of the
Washington club and gave Mr.. Noyes
the list Of dates printed at the head Of
the column. -Four Sundays will be spent

Preston 3. Porter. champion roller
skater of western New York. and now
In attendance here at the University
School. will endeavOr 10 annex the
championship OF the District or Co

night at Convention Hall
This viii be Porter's FIRST appearance
in this city, and from the accounts given
cut by his admirers at the University
School he should lave little. II any
trouble in securing The premier title Of
this District
Porter won his championship from
Harry ". Pierce, of Syracuse last
year at Buffalo. not only IN the two
mile, but five-miie limits as well. His
1irst race, the tWo-mile affair, was won
from Pierce By a narrow margin Of
only few feet So unsatisfactory was
this 10 the followers Of Pierce that
another contest was arranged for FIVE
miles. and IN this, after the first half
mile. Porter had things all MS way. The
track over which the routes were ne
gotiated was eighteen laps to the mile,
and Porter made the excellent time OF
6:44 for the two miles.
Won Race at Buffalo.
MS next import JAnt teat was the win
ming Of the one-hOur endurance race at
Buffalo. open TO all comers 4 time
limit OF one hour was fixed. and IN that
time Porter covered eighteen miles and
one lap. There was a field of twelve
contestants, but after the first fifteen
minutes Porter was never in trouble.
In this contest the eighteen laps 20
the milo track was used.
Dean Joslyn was Porter's next an
tagonist Tor the top OF tho notch. but
in the two-mile affair scheduled be-
tween these t9vD. the champion retained
his tL!e BY trimming the claimant
Joslyn decisiveIy. Joslyn held the title
at one time, but when Porter loomed
on the horizon the former champion
was relegate,i TO the background.
Other good men that Porter has
walked away from were Charles Dee
and James CoOmbs. Of the Homes Pas
time Club. Pierce was his most for
mi3able opponent. owing to the fact that
he had met and overcome some OF the
best skaters In New York.

NATIONALS PRESIDENT DISCUSSES LEAGUE MEETING
AIDDIES DEFEAT
CORCORAN CADETS
Winners Make Remarkable
Showing for New
Team.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Dec. 14,-Ths bas-
ketbaH team Of the Naval Academy, the
first which has ever represented the IN
stitutiOn in that line OF sport, defeated
the Corcoran Cadets OF Washington.
y. c, here this afternoon by 6s 20 y.
The showing Of the Andshipn1ea was
remarkable, considering the fac9 that
the game is new TO them Their team,
was q fast one and far exceeded the
visitors, who had a veteran team IN
shooting for goal and team work. In
fact, the Midshipmen started the game
at a pace which took the visitors or
their feet
IN the first half the Bnddies scored
fifteen FIELD goals TO their opponents
one Ducey played a brilliant game,
shooting seven goals in the half. He
was succeeded by Hill early in the
second half. and the latter also played
fine ball Captain VanderhOOf played
d steady and effective game throughout.
The good work Of tho AIidshipmen was
due largely to the coaching OF I
Z. Zimmerman. Of New York, who has
trained the field and track team for
some seasons.
The Afidshipmen open their intercOI-
legiate season here on December 3, the
University OF Pennsylvania being their
opponents.

In Texas while the team is training
at Galveston. One of these Is the day
after the team reaches there, and a
game. according to the schedule. must
be played on that day with the St.
Louis Cardinals over in Houston. which
is forty miles from Galveston. 1t will
probably be a wobbly sort Of game II
played. and is not likely to be pulled
of unless the Washington club makes
better progress toward Galveston than
It did last year, when it WIS three days
on the road.
Two Games With Giants.
The two games with the New York
Giants in Dallas were predicted in this
paper, when II was announced that
John McGraw would take the Giants 70
Dallas TO train instead of TO Los An
geles. These will be of especial in
terest TO Washington. in fact. the most
interesting exhibitions on the entire
trip, for It will give the Capital fans
a chance 10 get a line on the re
doubtable New Workers, about whom so
much has been heard in this city. BIZ;
who have been seen by comparatively
few of the local fans.
Not so many small towns and one
night jumps Will be made on this trip
as last year, which will be a change
welcomed by the squad. 1t should also
prove a benefit. for tho team was so
constantly on the jump last spring that
there IS hardly a dOubj much of the
benefit of the Galveston practice was
lost before it reached Washington.
Gamble IN Weather
Kansas City Is a good town on the
schedule. but they can produce weather
as bad there as that in Washington on
a sealed bonnet run day, and then you
wish you were somewhere else. Two
days IN Waco, Texas. and two in
Wichita. Kan. viii keep the team that
much longer in a country where the
climate Is almost sure TO be good. but
it's all a gamble what kind OF weather
is found In Springfield. Ill. Kansas City,
indianapolis, Cincinnati. Columbus. and
Louisville.
Last year the latter part Of March
was marked by regular June weather
in those cities. but fatherly sort of
storm adopted the Washington club and
followed II right around that circuit,
canceling half the dates for the travel
worn players. and giving them whole
