Georgetowns chances Of successfully

tirely unexpected Jolt yesterday when
the faculty AK fell numerically upon

Of it's fastest man. Martin.
The new rules announced by the fac
ulty director the latter part Of Janu-
airy have been followed to the letter.
Martin was one Of those unfortunate
enough TO fall below in his class mark
for the month of February and must
necessarily stand the consequences.
At the Federal games Martin defeat

NEW UNION LEAGUE
OFFICERS CHOSEN,
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
PopuIationof Cities Three
Times That of East
ern Circuit.

Any doubt that may have existed IN
the minds OF the Washington public
that the new Union League which viii
be represented here this season was but
a blum on the part of the promoters
was dispelled last night when, after the
election OF W. +. Hart as president OF
the LEGAL club, President Lawson an
nouncet that Arthur Irwin has agreed
10 sign a contract 10 manage the Wash
ington team. The other Officers chosen
were Wilton j. Lambert, vice presi
dent, and E E. Helm secretary treas
urer.
In speaking Of the prospects OF the
organization, President Lawson waXed
enthusiastic over the situation. He
called attention TO the fact that the
Union League VIII have population TO
draw from which is five times greater
than that from which the American
League drew when IL first went into
the Held as the Western League. The
population Of the cities represented In
Mr.. LaWson's organization is three times
the size OF those Included In the Eastern
League circuit.
Added to these features is the fact
that the mileage OF travel around the
circuit il one-ffth that necessary in the
Eastern organization. The biggest Jump
OF the new association VIII be from
Brooklyn to Washington, a distance or
something less than 200 miles. while the
greatest jump in the Eastern League Is
from Baltimore TO Montreal a distance
OF more than 500 miles
Thus Speaks Lawson.
In speaking Of the ranks from which
players will be drawn Mr. lawson
said: II have at hand nearly 20 let
tiers from some Of the best baseball
talent in the country. Some are major
league players and others are from
minor league stars who express their
desire in no uncertain terms for be-
coming members OF one Of the clubs
in our circuit. / have made no effort
10 invade the ranks of so-called or
ganized ball. nor win I do SO in an an
tagOnistic manrer- IL I know or a
minor leaZae player whom think !
can obtain and who was a member or
another league. pat who has not ale
ready signed / will do my best 70 land
him. This is only fair, and cannot
be considered otherwise by fair-minded
people.
Players Eligible.
Il viii do as both the major leagues
do-tal1e players who have proved their
worth, and whcrl 1 can get without
their breaking a contract from the
minor leagues. There are at least thirty
ma jor league stars who have not yet
signed contracts. and from some Of these
have receiEed letters asking for
terms. From the $50 major leaguers
who have not signed contracts l have
also reCeiVed letters asking for infor-
nation. If 1 can get any OF these men.
I will do my best 10 land them"
Mr. Lawson said that work would be
! begun on the park within the next ten
days. I'VE viii not start out with G
| large outlay. but we viii give our pa
| irons every convenience. and If they
attest the popularity OF the league by
| their presence at the games, II Will
| not be many days after the opening
until additions will be made"

Unforeseen need of an Interpreter.
Without troubling to analyze his feel
ings Courtenay was glad of the excuse
which presented itself Of obtaining a
momentary glimpse of Elsie.
Bring the senorita." he said, and
Elsie. wondering why she had been
summoned from the salon. ran up the
bridge companion. Her face was
aglow with excitement. her heart going
pitapat. She hoped that Courtenay
meant to keep her near him during the
fight She almost doubted Christobals
statement that the captain had given
specific orders that she was to remain
in the salon. 1t was one thing that
she should wish to avoid him, but why
should he wish to avoid her?
The JOY In her eyes died away when
she found that the captain merely re-
quired translator. The restraint she
