"DOC" White TO
COACH CENTRAL HIGH

1t was announced this morning, by good
authority. that Doc" White, the star
southpaw OF the Chicago American
League base ball club, would take charge
Of the Central High School base ball can
didates till the time comes for him to
report for spring practice with his team
mates.
Having secured the services of such a
capable coach is all that Is needed to turn
out one of the best ball teams that ever
represented the street institution as
plenty of promising material is on hand
besides eight CO. men Of last years
nine.
AS DOC" White received his first box
experience as q member of Central
High School nine he Is still loyal to his
alma mater and will do all in his power
to develop the boys on the fine points of
the game.
Central will be extremely weak in the
twirer last year through graduation. The
development Of a slab artist capable of
holding the other high schools in check, to
which White will give his special atten-
ton, is all that is needed to put the finish
ing touches on a team we'll fortified by
capable men for every position on the
nine.
The indoor quarters, in which the cam
didates will work out, will be the Ma
tionaI Rifles Armory, where ample room
will be afforded the boys, giving them
all the opportunity in the world to get
in the best possible physical condition.
Charlie Hickman has also offered to aid
the Centralites II needed, and with these
two stars of the base ball diamond work
ing with an excellent nucleus for a win
ming team, the base ball outlook at Cen
trail High is unusually bright.

ALL HARRY LEWIS.
He Puts It Over Mansfield at the
Douglass A. C.

PHILADELPHIA. January 6-Harry
Lewis of this city defeated Harry Mans
field of England in the wind-up at the
Douglass Athletic Club last night. Lewis
was the aggressor most Of the time. He
had Mansfield nearly out in the second.
and also in the third round. and again in
the final session. But Mansfield's game
ness and ability to take punishment saved
him from taking the count.
Lewis started off at the bell at a fast
clip and played for Mansfield's jaw. At
the close of the round he shook Mans
field with right swing to the Jaw. The
second round was all in the local boys
favor. as was the third. In the fourth
Mansfield made a better showing. but to-
ward the end of the fourth round he
weakened and was holding on at the bell.
Mansfield took a big brace In the fifth.
He deserved credit for the round by doing
some lightning jabbng that worried
Lewis. His showing was only a flash, for
in the final round he was on the defensive
all the time.
Reddy Moore stopped Johnny Kahn in
the first round. Kahn started off like
winner, but several hard rights to the
Jaw made him desire to meet an easier
opponent Johnny Johnson was scheduled
to go on in the semi-wind-up with Moore.
but he was not to be found in the club
house when the bout was called.

RESUME WORK.
Georgetown Athletes Again in
Training,

No time is being wasted at Georgetown
after the holidays and already the men
Of the different departments have begun
to prepare for their respective campaigns.
OF these, the busiest is Manager John
Murray of the basket ball quint The
hilltop students were greatly disappointed
when news of the first defeat by the Navy
reached them and it Is needless to say
that the Y. NJ G.. A. victory gave them
the blues for fair. or course the game of
Saturday at Annapolis, in which the
locals retrieved their honor to some ex-
tent has served to give more confidence
to the Blue and Gray supporters. but even
at that the student body. manager and
coach will all insist on stricter training
for the basket ball team from now on.
AS for track, Capt. Gibbs is going to
scout around for material this week and
intends starting real work next Monday.
The 1909 campaign will be opened jan
uary 80 at the Johns Hopkins meet, Bal
timore, and from then until March the
indoor squad will be kept hustling, end
ing with a grand finale at the eleventh
annual indoor games of Georgetown Uni
versty.
The props are also pushing things along
at a lively pace and bid fair to put out
a great bunch of sprinters. They were at
work for two weeks before Christmas and
from now on the men will be on hand
every day. They were given great
boost today, when big Ed Kerwin. star
athlete and excellent weight thrower, re-
turned to school. He withdrew i'm
mediately after Thanksgiving, intending
to go into business at home, but since
then has changed his mind and hence
will heave the shot for the embryo col
legians
Another prep has also shown up in the
person Of Joe Ryan, captainelect Of the
crew. Ryan did not return the first
term, but will be on hand at the open
ing of the second session, the Sd of Feb
ruary. The props have great prospects
for a crack eight this season, and now
that their captain. who is capable
stroke. has returned there is no reason
why they should not make a strong fight
in defense of the Franklin cup at the
American Henley.
Beginning Sunday the class series will
be renewed and from then until June
things will boom without interruption
on the hill.

From a reliable source it is learned that
some of the stockholders who have re-

the Belmont regime. which controlled the
regulations pertaining to racing. would
make vigorous objection to retaining in
power some of the officials of the club.
These stockholders claim that some of
their rights and privileges have been
trampled upon in the past, but that they
mean to receive proper recognition this
year. There are lively times promised at
the meeting.
The National Steeplechase and Hunt
Association will also hold a meeting the
same afternoon. A successor to the late

CLUBS
ANNUAL Meeting

The annual meeting of the Washington
base ball club was held yesterday after
noon at the office of Secretary Benjamin
Minor in the Colorado building. The bust
ness transacted was entirely routine, the
different reports being read and approved,
and the old board of directors was re-
elected without opposition. After the
meeting several of the officers were ap-
preached for news by a Star reporter
but the usual reply. that there was moth
ing to give out. was forthcoming.
One OF the officials added: See Joe
Cantillon II you want to get the news
Our work here Is strictly private and
belongs to the business end Of the club
Joe has the news that interests the pub
lie. and he will soon have things hum
ming all along the line.
The directors have turned over every
thing absolutely to Joe as regards the
players. and anything he does is per-
fectly satisfactory to us.
HE has not advised any of the officials
as to his intentions as regards Elberfeld.
but We know he would like to have the
Kid If too much is not asked for him.
Joe knows what he is about at all times.
the CONCLUSION that anything he does will
be all right. The officials think the
same way
Manager Cantillon effected the transfer
Of Outfielder Pickering from the Wash
ington to the Minneapolis club yesterday,
and there are others Of the local outfit to
go over the same route on account of the
close relations between the two clubs.
Waivers were asked on Pickering sew
eral weeks ago, and as he was not wanted
by either the American or National league
clubs. Brother Joe turned him over to
Brother Mike. There will be few tears
shed here over the departure OF Pick"
as he failed to deliver last season.
The fact that Cliff Blankenship was re-
instated by the national commission yes
terday at Cincinnati was received with
considerable favor by the local officials
and the enthusiastic followers of the Ma
tionals. Cliff made a splendid showing
while here in 1907, but was very unlucky.
and he may be able to go his full stride
the coming season without mishap. The
fine of 500 is pretty steep. as the club did
not place any protest with the commits
sion. but the fact that he played with the
Pacific coast outlaws is considered big
crime at present
