SCHEDULE TO BE DRAWN.
Next Step to Be Taken by the De.
partmental League.

Now that President Merritt O. Chance
of the Departmental Base Ball League
has settled down in his new position as
auditor Of the Treasury for the Post Office
Department the dust that has spread
over the affairs of the league. pending
his transfer, will be swept away and
son will be completed
The most important work yet to be done
is the appointment of the schedule COM
mittee. who will block out the games
which will compete with the projected
outlaws" of the minor league
This committee will be named early
this week. and as the league has already
agreed to open on May with one game
on Monday. two on Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday and Friday OF each week, with
Saturdays for postponed or drawn games
the blocking out of the dates will be
easy work and will not take much time.
The appointment OF official scorers and
extra umpires to assist Umpire Belts will
then be the only work left for the board
of directors to attend to before the sea-
son opens, SO ii can be seen that the at
fairs are in pretty good shape notwith-
standing the dust on President Chances
desk.
Reports from the different departments
are to the effect that more real interest
in the different offices is being manifest
ed this season than ever before, which
may very naturally be attributed to the
fact that the circuit has again reached
eight clubs. and also to the return to the
fold of the former champions-AgricuI-
tural.
Manager Sterne of the 'Ba bes'' as the
Interstate Commerce team is dubbed re-
ports things fiourishing among his rail-
road raters. and though for the first sea-
son they may not produce the cham
pions, yet the team will be so strong as
to keep the rest on edge all the time.

League last year with his aggregation OF
BAH tossers. Hughey Jennings. manager
OF the Detroit Tigers, il already counting
upon capturing another pennant this
year. ana he has doped out just how the
eight teams in the league will finish the
season. Naturally the Tigers are given
first place. but Hughey has conceded 10
the Highianders the sop OF second place.
From the way Jennings has figured il
out. any one OF the five leading teams
Detroit, New York. Cleveland. Chicago
and Philadelphia. is a possible winner. al
though il is most probable that fate will
grin at the Tigers. HuShey says: Grit
nth has the fastest base running team
IN the country. and his team is a powerful
factor in the race. The Maps are away
'sp in the race and can make trouble when
least expected. IL will be hard task "a

Troublesome factor at all times

some GOOD THINGS
ABOUT RUDE WAD)DElL
Base Ball Fans Have Been
Given air Exaggerated Idea
of His MiSdeedS.
BY Billy Evans.

Cy Young is perhaps the greatest pitcher
the game has ever produced. Critics are
divided as to the ranking of Lajoie and
WAGNER. opinion differs as to the su-
periority of Chase, Donahue and Chance
at first base but no one disputes Rube
Waddelrs right to be called king in his
own particular class. It's question IL
the game will ever have another George
Edward.
Rube has his faults. like any other poor
mortal but the base ball fan has a rather
exaggerated idea of Rube's deeds and mis-
deeds. The big southpaw does get lost
every now and then. plays the part of the
hero every once In a while and has tried
to be a real actor. but many things have
been credited to him in which he took no
part If Rube happens to remain away
from the park after pitching a hard game
the fans at once decide that the big fell
low has gone fishing or done something
else equally terrible. In reality, Rube has
simply been obeying' his managers in
structions in remaining away from the
grounds.
Waddell has done a lot Of funny things
and said just as many, but lot of stunts
are charged to the RUDE that never origi-
mated even in his fertile brain. This little
feature cropped out shortly after he was
sold to ST. Louis. Waddell was pleased
with the transfer, accepted the terms Of
fered and went on to st. Louis to sign his
contract. Not the slightest bit of trouble
has cropped out between RUDE and his
new employer. Yet one of the managers
in the outlaw league, in order to get a

CLASSY LIST OF ENTRIES
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY IN
DOOR TRACK AND FIELD GAMES

Next Saturday will see the renewal Of
the tenth annual Georgetown University
indoor games. Plans for the meet are
now practically complete. This year tho
management has left no stone unturned in
it's efforts to make this the crowning event
of the Washington indoor season. The
leading college, high school. preparatory
school and athletic club athletes of tho
east and south have been invited to at
tend the games. and assurances from
them indicate that the entry list will not
only be the largest in the history of
Georgetown meets. but also the "classi-
est"
One OF the greatest attractions carded
for the evenings program is the hurdle
race in which Harry Hillman of the New
York Athletic Club and Forrest Smthson
of the same city will meet. Besides these
two men the pick of the timber-toppers
in the south will be entered. Hillman is
considered the greatest hurdIer in the
country today, as well as being one of the
fastest quarter-milerS in the east. In
meeting Smithson he will have to defeat
a man who has just come out of the west
this year in search of greater glory and
who by his performances bids fair TO
snatch the honors from his more expert
enced rival. In the list Regiment games
at Madison Square Garden four weeks
ago Smithson broke the worlds record
for the 75-yard hurdles. Pitted against
these two stars will he such men
as Randolph of Virginia, Hill of Tome In
stitute, Capt. Smith of the Georgetown
Props. along with number of lesser
lights.
Smithson will also compete in the hand-
cap and invitation dashes. and though his
prestige in this event does not equal his
hurdle racing. still lie is considered an eN-
ceptionally fast man at fifty yards. In
this race there will also be such sprinters
as Rector. captain of the University OF
Virginia track team who ran 100 yards ut
Baltimore in 10 seconds last Saturday;
Mulligan, the old Georgetown runner, at
present representing the Aquinas Athletic
Club of Philadelphia; Gill of Tome In
stitute winner OF the dashes at the fed
eral games two weeks ago: Martin, the
leading Splinter 1T Georgetown; Myers OF
Marquette College. Milwaukee. WIS. VINO
is to come from the western city To COM
pete in these games, and Butler OF iale,
upon whom the New Haven institution
bases hopes of capturing the sprlnts at
the intercollegiate games next spring.

OFFICERS AND TEAM CAPTAINS.
RICE GAMB|T TOURNAMENT
LIVELY ENCOUNTERS BY LOCAL
CHESS EXPERTS.

Considerable progress has been made
during the past week in the Rice gambit
tourney recently commenced at the local
chess club. 1t will be seen from the score
below that +. r. Walker, the Depart
mental League champion. is at the head
of affairs. but he has so far met only two
opponents and therefore has some hard
games in store. Other good scores have
been made by Landry. Pratt. Byler Tell
ing. STARTS. Vogel and Smell. Much in
terest has been shown locally in the Rice
gambit since the visit last month of Prof.
Rice. it's distinguished inventor, and Ju-
Illus Finn, state champion of New York.
on which occasion Washington players re-
ceived their initiation into the mysteries
of the famous opening.
! 1t may alere be stated that the Rice
! gambit is variation of the old and we'll
known Kaiseritsky gambit. Prof. Rice
conceived the idea of extending the gam
| bit feature of this opening and on the
| eighth move departed from the normal
| procedure. his innovation consisting in
| the temporary sacrifice of a piece at that
point This is an apparently reckless pro-
ceeding, and the theorist is apt to declare
| the play unsound without further parley.
| But the consequences of the move are
very far-reaching. The student is at once
! confronted with maze of dazzling varia-
| lions. which are delightful as they are
| bewildering. The modern school of chess
! has inclined toward the strictly mathe-
NAUTICAL. cut and dried style. the forces be-
| ing advanced with the utmost care and
caution and the king quickly intrenched
behind an impenstrable wall of defense.
The Rice gambit on the other hand, takes
one back to the Paul Morphy school; it
employs tactics which resemble the move
ments of brilliant cavalry leader in war;
fare-the forces are deployed rapidly to-
ward the vulnerable point and the king
himself stands ready at any moment to
take the field in person.
The soundness or otherwise of the Rice
gambit has been the subject of world wide
discussion in the last few years. The
wealth and liberality of It's inventor have
enabled him TO enlist the services OF the
strongest clubs and players in Europe, as
well as this continent. for the purpose OF
testing it, and the greatest masters of the
day have lent their aid also. The gambit
may fairly be said to have survived this
array of talent so far. and 1t is now eX-
tremely unlikely that any line Of play will
be discovered that can be relied upon to
beat the attack. At any rate the test at
present taking place will be of great in
terest and profit TO the local lovers of
chess 1t is significant also that the total
score at the present Xriting Is Al games
in favor of the gan bit and AZ for the
black forces. AS the players become bet
ter acquainted with the intricacies of the
attack and defense future totals will be
of still greater interest. The scores to
date of the participants who have 80 per
cent or above TO their credit are as fol-
lows:

American Committee Busy.


Pis being shown. The committee here is
busily engaged in the collection of funds
for the transportation OF rhe team which
will represent the United States. The
dates for the three tryout meets, TO be
held respectively in Philadelphia, Chica :
go and San Francisco. have been set and
invitations and entry blanks are already
being prepared. AS will be the case in
England. the personnel of the team will
be based upon the showing made by the
American athletes n the three sets of
games mentioned. Only those performers
who demonstrate their ability in one of
the three meetings will be considered
when the time comes TO choose the COM
bination.
While the committee reserves all rights
in the selection of the team, il is thor
oughly understood that no athlete who
does not take part III the tryout games
will go to England at the expense OF the
OLYMPIC fund. Should any athlete be de-
barred from competing in the trials
through illness or other inability to be
present il is possible that. should his ath-
letic record within the past six months
warrant it. he may be accepted as a
member of the team. provided his expense
money il furnished from some source
other than the American Olympic fund.
The members of the committee have let
il be known that IL is their desire and in
tention that no favortism Of Partially
shall creep in at the time the Ieam is Sc
.ected This is as ii should be- for the
American team will need to be COM
posed of the very best performers in the
various events which will comprise the
Olympic program. The best athletes o:
the entire world will compete In London
next July. and the athletic supremacy of
the United States cannot be jeopardized
By the presence of any athletes who are
not the best in their respective specialties.
