CROSS COUNTRY MEET.
To Be Held at Princeton on Satur-
day Next Under Direction
of I. c. A. A, A. A.

There will he an athletic event at
Princeton next Saturday. in the shape OF
the intercollegiate cross country run
which will attract more interest in ath-
letic matters than any two similar meets
in previous years. Although intercole-
giate Cross-country championships have
been helu annually since 1889 this will
be the first time that the meet has ever
been held under the direction of the l. {.
y \. \. A, which has provided cup for
the event. 1t will also mark the introduce
ton of the new rules for the conduct of
the run. This time each college shall be
allowed to start only seven men instead
OF nine. and only the first five instead of
six shall count in the scoring.
This new rule is very important be-
cause for the first time the smaller col
leges have chance to wrest the victory
away from Cornell, whose team has won
the championship every year but once
since 1899 The action of the l. c. A. A
y. \. in taking charge of the run, will in
sure the appearance of the University
of Michigan in the annual run for the first
time and within another year or two will
cause several other colleges to be starters.
Michigan and Pennsylvania are the
two teams which are thought to have the
best chance to Gust Cornell from the pre-
mier position she has held so long. And
If one or the other did turn the trick it
would be welcomed through the college
world, for there is nothing so discourag-
ing to the development of cross country
running for one team to have a mo-
nopoly of first place such as Cornell has
enjoyed. Michigan has squad of some
100 men trying for the team, while Penn
sylvania has about fifty candidates. Cor
nell depends upon Young, De Golyer and
one or two other holdovers to keep her in
first place. Michigan has good runner
in Capt. Dull, who will make bid for the
individual honOrS. Pennsylvania will not
have as strong team as she should, but
Will have one star in PAUL, who as a
freshman last year ran a mile in % and
has had lots of experience at cross coun-
try work. Harvard has several good men
but no stars, though Coach Alfred Shrubb
says he will spring a surprise with the

mile last year. is the Ellis main reliance
but he hardly has a chance to win the

Whitley. fourth last year, and MCGEE.
is sure to be more exciting, both from the
team and the individual standpoint
Not to be outdone by the east, the
Western Conference Association has also
organized a cross country run and the
first event will be held under its auspices
this month. Nearly all of the colleges in
the association will compete, so that the
east will not have monopoly of this
sport in the future. The great interest
now being taken in crosS-country running
cannot be other than productive of bet
ter class of distance runners. especially in
the mile and two mile events.

MAY BE SOMETHING DOING.
Talk. Is Rife as to What May Hap
pen at Coming Meeting of
Two Leagues.

NEW YORK, November 14.-Although
several weeks will elapse before the
club owners Of the National and American
leagues get together for their annual
meeting, talk is rife as to what the base
ball magnates are going to do in the way
Of changes. New rules are being dis
cussed. but it is still too early to make
a definite prediction.
The unsatisfactory ending of the Ma
tional League fight will probably lead
to a lot of talk and maybe a change
The controversy that grew out Of the tie
game of September % between the Giants
and Cubs offers an excellent reason for
modifying the rules.
Harry Pulliam is sure of reelection as
president of the league. but 1t Is intimated
that John T. Brush will not cast the only
vote against the Kentucky colonel at
the next meeting.
Probably by the time the meetings take
place the national commission will have
settled the case Of the players VINO were
declared ineligible for playing post-season
games in and around Chicago. In this
particular instance the commission must
either back down or begin to assess fines
by the wholesale. So many players are
involved that the fines probably will be
RENTED and new rules adopted to cover
such games.
Inc OOuDle umpire system ana the QueS-
ton of barring spectators from the play
ing field Will be brought up by Mr. Pull
liam at the winter meeting. 1t is be-
lieved that no changes will be made in
the umpiring system next year-at least
not in the National League. One reason
is that umpireS are so scarce that 1t Is
difficult to engage even four good men,
to say nothing of eight or nine. The
American League Is partly committed to
the double system, but the National
League has not acted. If Ban Johnson
wants two umpires for every game he
will get them.
While Mr. Pulliam is non-committal
about the umpire business. he is out
spoken regarding the regulation Of base
ball crowds. He believes that spectators
should not be allowed on the field, and
that any club owner who packs his
stands should be willing to bar the gates
against fans who cannot be accommo-
dated.

The boys of this league put up such
classy article of ten pins last season that
they could be matched with any of the
fast teams of the city and although a
change from ten pins to duck pins was
announced for the present season, this
league Is expected to be one of the fast

COMING FIELD TRIALS.
Much Interest Being Manifested by
Local Hunters.

Much interest is being manifested by
the hunters in the coming field trials OF
the Maryland and District of Columbia
Field Trials Association, which Will begin
Tuesday and continue three days. The
trials, which will make the sixth held
by this association, will take place about
four miles from Laurel and are always
attended by large number OF Wash
ington Baltimore and state hunters
The order Of the running is as follows:
First day, the Derby stake; next will
come the members all age stake, and
the third day will be for the open class.
The events this year will undoubtedly
surpass all previous trials ever held here.
because of the presence of more birds
and the high class of dogs entered.
The trials are held here owing to the
splendid facilities offered for the owners
Of the dogs and their friends, who can
readily come out to Laurel for a days
trial and get to their home in either city
the same evening.
At a recent meeting DIR. George A.
Sprinkle of Stanton, Va, and Dr. Leigh
Buckner of Roanoke. Va, were named
as judges of the trials, and a third
Judge to be selected
1t is likely that a good old-fashioned
Maryland fox hunt will be held after
the third days trials. as last year, and
which proved great sport behind several
pdChS VI uOSSs ABOUT thirty DelnS IN the
hunt. One fox was chased for several
hours. finally being denned. after which
the hunters returned to Laurel.
The officers of the association are:
President. Grason Gent of Baltimore;
vice president, Joseph Hunter of WASH
ington; secretary and treasurer, Harry
F. Frost of Laurel, Md.
The grounds have been carefully
drawn, and a number of coveys, 1t is
said. have been seen, SO there ought not
to be any scarcity Of birds. The grounds
where these trials are held are about
three miles from Laurel. and they have
already been stocked with cartridges and
are carefully protected.
Only dogs owned by members OF the
association are eligible, but any resident
of Maryland or the District of Columbia
can run a dog by becoming a member
upon paying a small initiation fee ana
one years dues. No professionalism is
allowed to mar these trials. since all
dogs are handled by their owners. A
number of ladies are expected to attend
these trials as last year.

Tom Hughes Argument.

Base ball players love an argument. and
there is no subject on earth that the lads
won't take a chance on. One day last
October. during the closing days Of the
season. CantiIlon, Tom Hughes, Jerry
Freeman and Bob Ganley were sitting on
the players bench. when the subject of
spiritualism was brought up. and the ball
players Immediately proceeded to get het
up about it.
Joe Cantillon, who is very emphatic in
his manner of speaking, rose in his ex-
citement and, clenching his fists, cried out ::
Il tell you there is nothing to 1t, for no
man ever left this earth and came back
again..
How about Orville Wright"' queried
Long Tom Hughes, as he ducked to avoid
punishment.

Rube Waddell's Toothache.

When RUDE Waddell was a member of
the Athletics he one season was very
much troubled with a tooth that went
on periodical aching sprees and though
Rube's fellow players advised him to
have the molar extracted he refused to
do so. One night the pain became so
great that he consulted with his side
partner Schreck. and on the catcher urg-
ing him to go to a dentist and have the
tooth drawn. RUDE consented to act on
Schreck's advice.
So the two ball players hunted up a
dentist, and after the expert had made an
examination he prepared to pull the
molar. Waddell was lying back in the
chair with his mouth open to the fullest
extent when Schreck. happening to
glance down at him, suddenly cried out:
Don't open your mouth SO wide, Rube,
cause the doc intends to stand outside
when he does the pulling"

VARSITY QU|kT SCHEDULE
ANNOUNCED BY MANAGER MUIR
RAY OF GEORGETOWN TEAM.
Basket Ball Games Arranged With
Some Of the Largest Universities
North and South.

Manager Murray of the Georgetown
basket ball team has announced the
schedule for the varsity quint. Four
teen games have been arranged. including
battles with some Of the largest universe
ties of the north and south. The Blue
and Gray team is matched to meet some
very strong teams, but the students across
the creek are very confident and they will
not enter into any of the games with the
thought of losing.
The opening game is an easy one. but
six days later the locals will have tough
proposition in Pennsylvania. The Red and
Blue easily defeated Georgetown last sea-
son and will come stronger this year.
Georgetown has also been strengthened.
SO the contest promises to be warm
one.
About the Navy and Dartmouth teams
little is known. Both these contests are
away from home and the latter Is the
last game before the Christmas holidays.
In January only three games will come
off, but all Of them promise to be interest
ing. Fordham will probably be the tough
est proposition. They have great quint
up there at New York and they are out
for blood. Vanderbilt usually plays a
strong game, but by the dope the Blue
and Gray should trim them. AS for Vir-
that battle, and. judging from last years
record, they should do SO easily.
February Washington and Lee play
here. A long rest is then taken i'm prep
aration for four games in as many days.
beginning February IL. OF these, two
are to be played in this city and two in
Lexington. The two out-of-town games
should prove easy victories. but Swarth-
more must be classed with Fordham. both
being formidable aggregations.
Close of the Season.
The season closes February %, with q
game against Virginia, in this city. AS
Virginia always draws well, this should
prove a fitting conclusion for the years
work.
The team as 1t stands now is composed
of Capt. Rice, eX-Capt. Downey, Jim and
George Collifiower, four of last years
star five, and Schlosser, d new man. Rice
is playing center at present. Downey
and Schlosser are the forwards and the
other two are holding down the guard
positions. Kingsley, bikes and Goggins
are also three promising men. and should
prove handy as subs.
The team have been practicing now for
a month. and are rapidly rounding into
championship form. Local fves have been
pitted against them and usually have
been swamped. From now on there will
be practice games In Ryan gymnasium
every Wednesday night, and sometimes
on Sunday morning.
The interclaSS games start two weeks
from today, when the seniors meet the
juniors and the sophs play the freshmen
These contests will formally open the
season on the hill and from then until
February l the indoor game will hold
sway.

When only sixteen years old Capablanca

been in New York undergoing a four

now at the age of twenty, he is per-
