ing argues that the Virginia athletes
should come 70 Washington instead OF
the Washington athletes travelling down
20 Charlottesville annually.
Supported by Facts.
In this contention ne seems to be sup
ported by the facts in the case. Il must
be taken into consideration that there
are two large universities IN this CITY,
as well as several high schools and
preparatory schools. all Of which would
enter. whereas many OF them have
never attended the Charlottesville
games. Also large number Of Balti-
more and Maryland athletes who must
properly come under the Southern
branch. ana would come % Washing
ton 10 participate
Better Situated Financially.
Hitherto the track teams Of George
Washington have had difficulty in self
susteusDce. and on this account the
managers did not feel like branchins
out and taking the risk always incl
dent 10 an outdoor meet, but next years
management should be situated far
better financially in ever wcy than in
previous years, and Fleming intends 70
take advantage II the situation
As the only outdoor meet CT any con-
sequence iu tins section. il should uu-
doubleday receive the substantial back
ing Of the general public and al local
spOrt-loNers. and the Hatchetite SIN
cent body is looking forward with con
siderable interest 10 the new mana gers

GEORGE WASHINGTON AFTER

Hatchettes Will Make An Effort to Have Games Formerly
Held at Charlottesville Take Place in Capital

That next season VIII be a banner
year in track athletics at George Wash

with the excellent prospects in view,
Manager-elect Fleming, who was voted

Probably the most important one thing
that he Is counting on at present is that

pices OF the local institution, at Van
Ness Park, the Buff and Blue athletic
field he has held consultations with
several men prominent in the sporting
circles Of the city, and they have as
sured him of their assistance.
Meets Were Successful.
The meet has been held for three
years at Charlottesville. Va. on Lam

University OF Virginia. and been uni
foTmly successful. At these meets
Washington athletes have always

About the most unkind thing you can
DO TO baseball player is 20 tout his
game too highly and lead the fans to
expect too much. George Mil has been
fortunate in that none Of the local
scribes, although they like him and his
playing, has said that George was a
child wonder. They have been frank
enough TO say merely that ne is a
mighty useful asset and earns his sal

iirst fight showed that with the excep-
ton OF the fifth round, when Burns
caught O'Brien on the nose with a wilG

near as he could get. In the last three
rounds, when II was necessary TO do

There will be genuine regret that
Schlany's poor hitting has earned him a
seat on the bench. He was made field
captain because he was the only veteran
infielder except Lave Cross ana because
Cantillon knew that he was a brainy
ball player. To be forced 70 take a back
seat now is hard luck for the captain,
who is one of the hardest workers on
the team. but he has not classed-up
against the major pitchers. and senti-
ment does not cut much figure on the
diamond.
Because Schlahy does not bat like La
joie. it must not be supposed that he is
the worst that ever happened. Among the
second basemen last year he stood
about the middle. with 246 which was
ahead of Ferris. OF Boston; schaefer. of
Detroit, and O'Brien and Niles, Of St,
Louis. He was also the equal of all
these men in sacrifice hits and stolen
bases, his record being twenty-one sac
rifices and twenty-nine pliers for the
season. His batting average was "a
points better than that of Jake Stahl,
who batted only .222. and who is now
making a noise like a star In deciding
the club he is to play with In fielding.
Schlaiy stood next TO LaJoie among the
regular second sackers, and Lajoie led
the league.
These points in Schlahy's favor should
be remembered by the grandstand crit
les who have been throwing the har-
pooh into him. but 1 do not mean to say
I he should be kept in the lineup at this
LINE, for he is certainly away of color
with the stick this season. and CantuIon
was wise in giving him the bench for u

Jake Stahl said out in Cincinnati

that he has it the fans will be inter-
ested in seeing what he can do. Last
year, strangely enough. his playing on
the road was 80 per cent better than
at home. II was just the way the luck
broke for him and he was much dis
couraged at times over the deal Cate
handed him in Washington.

NEW LINEUP

PLEASES FANS
Like to See Manager With Nerve to Make
Sweeping Changes-Sympathy for
Schlafly-O'Brien Should
Beat Burns.
By THOMAS s. RICE

One thing we must give CanuIlon
credit for having the nerve to admit
when he is in bad. and then doing the
best he can 10 rectify his mistakes.
As he said on Saturday, when he took
hold of the Washington baseball team
he had never seen in IL in battle array
against major league enemy, and had
TO select a lineup based on the unsatis-
factory observations made in exhibition
games. He has now looked over the
aggregation in sixteen American League
matches and come to the conclusion that
il needs Encouragement. One great
trouble with former Washington man
ayers was that even when they saw
that they did not have the right answer
they did not have hardihood enough 10
bench high-priced men and sive the
substitutes a chance. They were afraid
that a general shifting of positions
would be a confession Of weakness and
lack Of ability TO size up their material
That Washington will start IN from to-
day and cinch the pennant In a couple
Of months is not expected. It may not
even win a greater proportion of vic
tories than it has since April H. but the
fans Will have the satisfaction Of know
ing that the team was not losing be-
cause the manager didn't have sense
enough or courage enough to handle his
players to the best advantage.
