President Calls Meeting of
Baseball Body Early in
New Year.
FRAME UP PLANS
FOR NEXT SEASON
Attributes Small Attendance 10 De-
lay in Getting Series
Under Way.

That the amateur baseball commits
I sion is not going TO let any grass grow
under its feet in preparing for next
years championship series Is evidenced
.vy the fact that President T. ". Boil
elano has already called meeting for
january II 10 take action on a number
or steps 10 be made IN regard 10 the
galres.
Although wide interest has been
shown in the post-seasOn schedule
since the inception of the idea two
years ago the event has been handi-
capped by late start in perfecting ar
raugemt nts which resulted IN d COnfu-
sion Of ,,he rules that was IN no way
the fault Of the commission, which hard
" had time 70 arrange for the series.
The games have also suffered in at
tendance frJsm the small amount OF ad-
vertising Il was almost impossible 70
give proper p ubHcity 70 the series since
the schedule has seldom been announced
until a few weeks before the beginning
OF play.
A weII-defned effort was made this
year TO make the amateur commission
a permanent body, and while this has
not yet been achieved, practically the
same results will he forthcoming from
the arraugemert 70 make the commits
sion self-perpel Latfaly until another be
elected.
Thacher Tells Of Plans.
W. c. Thacher, treasurer Of this year s
body. In speaking OF the plans for the
coming season. said: we Will make a
determined effort 10 start the schedule
earlier next fall While no official ac-
ton has been taken, I think II likely
that some date limit VIII be set on
which each league must declare the
team eligible for the pOst-seslsOn games.
We will probably request the circuits
20 declare the leader by a certain date
! say August L, winner OF the pennant
and viii start the pOst-seascn series
earlier than this year.
What plan viii be taken neat year
in regard 10 arranging for the compile
titiOu OF eight leagues I can not yet
say While the plan OF dividing them
into two sections has some drawbacks,
. IL was as good a one as we could euecS
this summer and has not yet had THOR
OuEh trial II the series was announced
early enough to give Il proper publicity
7 think there is little doubt but that II
would draw much larger crowds.
Should Draw Crowds.
Why, nearly all the amateur leagues
draw from 20 10 LOO fans daily and
the idea that more than this number
would net turn out t. see the champions
play for the District title is ridiculous"
Despite the lateness Of start IN max
ing arrangements the consensus Of
opinion seems 10 be that the series this
I fall was run OF practically without a
hitch. The code OF rules which gov
erned the games has become compre-
hensive enough to meet nearly every
emergency and will probably be adopted
| IN toto by the next amateur body,

Three Local Colleges Tackle
Foemen Worthy of

GEORGETOWN MEETS
BALTIMORE MEDICOS
Gallaudet Plays Old Rival, Mt.
Washington, While HatchetiteS
Hook Up With EaSton.

Three local universities inaugurate
their real playing season today.
So far each has been seen on the field
in practice games, but the real tests
come today. when they stack up against
foemen worthy Of their mettle for the
opening skirmish IN the real fight for
football supremacy Of the 1908 season.
GEORGETOWN viii meet Baltimore Med
ical College on Georgetown Field. The
Medicos have not in years past had
such q formidable aggregation that the
West Enders fear any grave disaster,
though il is likely that the Balti-
moreans win put up a pretty stiff strug-
gle. They have the advantage of
earlier practice, having been on the
field over a week before the George
town candidates were called out
George washington has a makeshift
game with EastOn, arranged to take the
place Of the FOrdham contest scheduled
for today. The Easton team is prac-
ticaIly a stranger here. OF one thing
the Hatchetites are sure, II is heavy,
and the Capital squad viii have a
chance to pit their speed, their main
reliance this year, against weight.
Gallaudet in Baltimore
GaIIaudet goes 70 Baltimore to play its
old rival, Mt Washington. Probably
more real heart interest is conferred in
this game than in either of the other
two. The schools play yearly, and are
evenly matched. Since its last appear
ance. radical changes have been made
in the Kendall Green squad. and while
still IN an experimental stage, has an
aggregation of brilliant individual play
ers. On the ability Of the men to work
together as a whole Will depend today's
outcome In the Monumental City.

Ackroyd moved his chair from the
corner that he might have an unoD-
structed view Of Drusilla's face. She
was seated near the piano lamp, osten-
sibly examining the score Of d recent
musical farce he had brought her. Her
chin rested in one little upturned palm.
and her eyes were fixed pensively on
the music in her lap. Ackroyd watch
ed her silently for some moments. He
was loath to disturb that pose.
81 saw Ted Briggs today" he said at
length, and he said 1t with the evident
expectation Of a futter Of excitement
on Drusilla's part. In this, however.
he was disappointed. She turned
page Of the score without raising her
eyes.
"Did you" she said calmly.
II did," he affirmed, Had sort OF
an all gone air about him."
Drusilla was silent.
Looked as If he needed some one to
sympathize with him-or kick him."
Ackroyd pursued.
Another page Of the score was turn
ed, but Drusilla said nothing.
Haven't seen him round here late
ly," said Ackroyd. and his tone sug-
gested much.
Its something over week since he.
called last" said Drusilla innocently.

went on, 'that in the social sea you
are a sort Of uncharted reef on which
the affections Of many serious minded
young men are shipwrecked."
what q metaphor she t4unted.
Their shipwrecks don't seem to be
alarming calamities, however. They
survive them"
"And there are others who are in
danger of sailing straight on to the
reef. knowing all its dangers" said he.
"Dear mew said Drusilla. They
should take a course in navigation"
"The fear of ridicule may keep them
away for a time, but in the end they're
bound to tempt fate" he said.
Drusilla regarded him amusedly.
II think it would be interesting to
meet some of that class" said she.
II can introduce you to one" said he.
when" Drusilla inquired eagerly.
"Now," said he, rising and bowling
gravely.
"You" she gasped.
even l." he said, unsmiling.
There was a somewhat embarrassed
pause. Ackroyd broke 1t.
81 shall never be happy until | offer
myself to you. don't expect to be
happy afterward. shall merely join
the others in the outer darkness. and
the suspense will be over"
Drusilla rested her chin on her palm
again. A bit of added color flushed her
cheeks. Her eyes were pensive.
"I've been very much a coward"
said Ackroyd. II was afraid you'd
laugh. That is why I've been silent 40
long"
He leaned forward in his chair. His
manner was pleadingly earnest. Dru-
silla moved uneasily.
"Why don't you offer yourself. then,
and have 1t over?" she asked.
Ackroyd squared his shoulders. II
do offer myself. Drusilla." said he.
"Miy silence has been such a long one
the laugh should be doubly merry" he
added bitterly.
Drusilla turned to the plano. She
ran her fingers over the keys In soft
little minor harmonies. Ackroyd wait
ed impatiently; then he strobe to the
piano and bent over her. Something
glistened on her lashes. and there was
shining streak down either cheek.
"Good heavens" cried Ackroyd In
sudden comprehension. He laughed
happily.
"It-it-isn't funny. I-I-d-don't feel
a bit like Laughing" confessed Dru-
silla.
And Ackroyd was thereupon relieved
from any fears of "the outer dark
ness"

Ackroyd smiled grimly. but Drusilla's
eyes being on the score its meaning
was lost on her.
Same old story. presume" said he.

said, with some emphasis.
"Got his congo, eh?'
"What are you talking aboutT
"Ted Briggs"
"Well. what about him"
HE seems to have been cast into the
outer darkness with his innumerable
predecessors" Ackroyd observed.
Drusilla shrugged her shoulders.
81 don't see why l should fret my
self over that" she said.
"For casting him there, of course" )"
said Ackroyd severely.
Admitting I did," said Drusilla with
challenge in her voice.
"Ted Briggs is a particular friend
of mine" Ackroyd began.
Must l marry all your particular
friends?" said Drusilla with sardonic
Difference.
Ackroyd's eyes flashed angrily.
You knew all the time he was TAX
ing things seriously" he demonstrated.
"You might have little mercy ON
such chaps"
"Oh. don't let's sQuabble every night
you come here. said Drusilla wearily.
Here's the Palm song. Shall I sing
1t to you. Max"
She seated herself at the piano and
sang with all her inimitable little droll-
cries. When she had finished she
swung about to face Ackroyd.
"Did that soothe your savage breast,
Maker" she asked sweetly.
Ackroyd scowled. when will you
ever be serious?" he said.
"I was never so serious in my life,
