have an honorable place in the fashion
able world. They are made of silk and
thew are trimmed with ruffies of lace
around the top. The backs are bcauti-

THE STINEMETZ TROPHY.
Prize for Winner in Graded Schools
Relay Race

The development of a permanent inter-
est in track and field athletics among the
boys Of the graded schools of Washing
ton Is one of the most important results
which the management of the federal in
door games. to be held February is, hopes
to accomplish. Two years ago the boys
OF the local graded schools were given, in
the federal games, the first chance they
ever had to publicly compete in athletics
with boys of their own class. Last year
there were four teams in the graded
school relay championship race. In next
years games there will be two events for
these young athletes, fifty-yard dash
and relay race of 600 yards. The ndi-
cations are that there will be at least
half dozen teams in the relay race. In
addition to the individual prizes to the
members of the winning team, the man
agement has decided to offer trophy
to the winning team. This will be given
outright to the victorious quartet each
year. and will be known as the "Stine-
metz trophy" in honor Of the late Samuel
w. stinemetz. who had been prominent
official at the federal games since their
inception. c.
Manager Stuart returned last night
from a trip to BALTIMORE, Philadelphia
and New York, where he has been in the
interest of the federal games. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and Johns Hop
kins have already given definite assur-
ances that they will enter a larger num-
Der of men than last year, and negoti-
atoms have been practically completed
for the entry Of members Of the track
teams Of two other members Of the Big
Four.
Greater interest than ever before has
been aroused among local and out-of-town
high schools and prep. school boys in
the contest for the University of Pennsyl-
vania alumni point trophy. The Baltimore
City College and the Woodbury. Forest
School are the latest contenders, and it
seems probable that the Central High
School will have one of the hardest
fights in recent years to retain the honor
won at the federal games of 1907.

CLOSE RACE IN THE

The race in The Evening Star Duckpin
League is exceedingly close. with the
Agates and Pleas fighting it out for top
honors, the former team having won six
teen and lost eleven, while the latter
quints have captured fourteen and
dropped thirteen. Although they are
leading the league. the Agates will have
to hustle, as the Pleas are close upon
their heels, with only two games separat-
ing them. The Agates are also doing their
best in pin toppling. and only a drop in
their form will GUST them from their pres
ent position. The Minions and the Nom
parcels are not by any means out of the
race, as they are in easy striking distance,
and with a little more luck will be right
up in line with the others. Baum is the
best individual bowler, having an average
Of 9s for only six games, but Corwin is
the mainstay Of the league, having an
average of 80 for twenty-four games. T.

HOW TED SULLIVAN
COINED THE WORD "FAN'

In base ball literature there is no word
so current as that of fan" 1t has crept
into the vernacular of the pen-pushers Of
base ball history with an abandon equal
to the use of the purest adjective conned
from words used in Worcester's or Web
sters Unabridged dictionaries.
1t is used by spectators recklessly,
whether they fill seats in the grand
stands or out among those cleverest of
critics enthroned on the sun bleachers,
and yet. if you asked any information in
regard to it's use, whence it's derivation or
where it originated. not one in thousand
could impart the slightest item that would
lead up to it's start as base ball phrase.
Yet 80 per cent of those who use the
term fan" whether male or female,
would tell you that to all intents and pur-
poses a fan" is a person heavily charged
with base ball lore, like a thirty eight
horsepower gasoline auto car, and is al
ways ready to blow off, quantity of
this overcharge on all occasions. and at
the slightest provocation, on the public
generally.
The word was used in print by the St.
Louis Republican away back in 1888, and
its use has spread from one end of Amer
lea to the other, and, like many others of
similar character, it was started by that
versatile characterized Sullivan. Sulli-
vans story was to the effect that a man
used to come into the Browns head
quarters, and, no matter who was around,
would commence hurting at him fusil-
lade of questions in regard tc every
player, every rule and things in general
about the team He would give his per-
sonal opinion in regard to all matters per-
tanning to the game, and there was no
