GIVES UP BASEBALL
George Washington Likely
Not to Have Team.
NO DATES HAVE BEEN MADE
Graduate Manager wilson Is 0p-
poscd to Sport which Has Proven
Park i'm sight There Is Only the
RemOtest Chance for Any Games.

George Washington has practically de-
cided not 10 put a baseball team in the
field next spring
Baseball has never really prospered
at the university although fairly strong
teams have been placed in the field Last
June the Hatchetites' nine took George
town by surprise, and it required extra
innings to decide the annual game. but
financially the season was a dismal fail
ure
In addition TO lack OF funds, the base
ball team this spring would be forced
TO find a suitable field for practice, as
Van Ness Park is no longer available
for athletics
Dr. Wilson, the new graduate manager,
has long been opposed TO a varsity nine.
as he thinks 1t is too great a financial
drawback and the managers have al
ways experienced difficulty in arranging
games of sufficient importance for the
latter half Of the season. In March and
April, when the Northern colleges are in
the South. George Washington has had
plenty Of good games. but In May and
June il has been necessary to look 10
small teams in this vicinity 20 completa
/ the schedule.
Thus far. practically no arrangements
| have been made for the season. which is
only two months off. and there is only
! the remotest chance that n regularly rec
/ Ognized varsity team viii be organized
although class games will probably be ar
ranged to keep alive interest in the sport
until next wear when "A mark will ne AZ
the disposal OF the university.
The athletic association will hold an
election this evening for football man
agcr for next fall. A number Of nomi-
nations have been made. but there is no
decided favoTite for the position, which
is considered the most desirable on the
athletic council As soon as the election
Of the new manager is ratified. he Will
! meet Capt. Summers and Graduate Man

outline plans for next fall.

The New York Athletic Club increased
its assets by S07.37A4 during the past
year. This surplus has never before been
equaled in the history Of the organization.
and it is exceedingly doubtful If any other
club In the world can show an increase
of more than 100000 during the fiscal
year In connection with the surplus, II
is well to note that the customary 10 per
cent depreciation, amounting TO a little
more than S3.000 charged off on house
furnishings. is taken entirely from the
surplus without the usual charges to fur
