A record OF achievements In George
towns athletic history the past year
does not show any startling results.
Still. though the Georgetown men may
not have captured large numbers Of
blue ribbons. there remains the fact
that they la0O7ed hard and they failed
Only because they did not have quite
enough class to become champions.
IN looking over 1907 one cannot help
but admire the Georgetowners for their
endeavors They have met representa-
tives cf the larger schools in the field OF
combat and in some instances have
come of crowned with the laurel
wreath Also they suffered the bitter
pangs OF defeat and failure, words OF
large significance, but one with which
all college men should have TO deal with
In their school days.
Basketball introduced.
Basketball was a new sport at George
town IN 1907, and the prospect was
rather dubious at the start AS the sea-
son progressed. however. 1t became
apparent that Georgetown was to have
a team that could give any and all op-
ponents a hard fght. Four games were
played. and of these two were won and
two lost. Virginia came to Washington
in January and lost. Then followed the
three George washington games, two OF
which were won by the Hatchetites.
their first victory over Georgetown in
any kind Of an athletic contest. These
games completed the 1907 schedule. The
men who played basketball for George
town were Captain Downey, Schunn. Pal
lei. Ballargeon, Simon. Rice, and Drury.
OF these men Captain Downey. Rice,
and Drury are candidates for tho 1903
quint. The schedule for 1903 includes
games with al the leading aggregations
in and around Washington

BASEBALL

WashingtOn's American League base
ball team in 1907 was not a bowling sue
cess L finished last, with a percentage
Of -S25, winning 20 and losing 102, but
there has hardly been In the history of
the game a tailender which created so
much excitement and which was so well
supported.
Joe Cantillon. the. ex-umpire half
owner OF the Minneapolis and DeE
Moines teams, and ex-manager Of the
Milwaukee team, was appointed man
ager OF the Washington team in the fall
of 1906 for term Of three years at
large salary. and at once got down to
business. Instead OF taking chances on
the weather at Charlottesville, Va, for
training he selected Galveston, Tex.
and found 1t so satisfactory the team
viii go there again in 1903 and 1909 and
possibly longer.
Managers Hard Task.
The task confronting Cantillon when
he lined up his forces at Galveston was
enough to discourage any manager, and
that he would have been discouraged to
the point Of quitting or cynical indif-
ference is a sure thing had he not had
the most hearty and liberal support of
the Washington fans, newspapers, and
club owners. He had a disorEantzed
team OF steady and Indifferent losers.
composed largely of men who had never
been Of major league caliber or who
had outgrown tneir usefulness in the
game as a whole or in washington In
particular. No strength OF consequence
had been added between the close of the
1906 season and the beginning OF spring
practice. the team was a tailender and
knew it, and the material on hand
was not susceptible of great improve
ment. In fact. with some members Of
the squad Il was a question whether
they could last with cellar champions
throughout 1907.
Such organization and cohesion as
was already in the team had to be
broken IN the necessary process Of
wedding out the men who were already
gone or were slipping back into base
ball oblivion. Thus, as the season ad-
vanced the teamwork actually declined
instead OF improving. a situation which
had to come, and which the club might
just as we'll have one year as another.
IL was desperate case, and the owners
and manager should not be criticised If
the pruning knife was mercilessly ap-
piled in the hope Of giving the Wash
ington public ball team worthy OF the
name In 1908.
Examinations and Accidents.
No sooner had the spring training IN
Galveston and the long series of exhi-
Sition games in the Middle West rounded
the teams into something like form
than the necessity for the elimination
OF some of the older men appeared. An

kicked up by this affair has not yet en-
tirely died away.
Busy in Politics.
The second case OF especial impor-
t1..ce was the way in which Washing
ton forced Boston 10 pay the waiver
price for Schlahy. Then, when Boston
asked waivers on the players. Wash
Ington refused and was forced TO buy
him back. Boston again refused TO
waive for Washington's benefit. and the
unfortunate Schlafly was once more
shUnted back 10 Boston. This exposed
the absurdity of the waiver rule as
IL stood and was largely responsible
for the recent legislation by the Amer
lean and National leagues to prevent
repeutions of such ridiculous proceed
ings.

manager Of the Minneapolis club. had
been expelled from the American As

All these incidents stirred Up more
interest in the Washington club than
the baseball public has known for many
years. and. incidentally, proved an enor-
nous source of free advertising which
produced gratifying results at the box
office.
Prospects for 1908
Washington for 1908 is weak. or. at

style, suddenly slumped until Il was
impossible for him to win a game.
Washington attracted national atten-
tion IN baseball politics In the past sea-
