of the strongest financial backings of any
similar body In the city The teams are
looked for to make the race exciting and
interesting to the finish. Because the
players Of the league must be Railroad
Y. NJ C.. A. members. this organization
has undoubtedly the most stringent quail
fication rules. To he member of the
Terminal Railroad Y. NJ G. A. it is re-
quired that one should be an employe of

with the railroads. and the class shown
on the teams Is of the highest calber.
The teams this year are much more
evenly balanced than in the year pre-
vious and base ball of the highest class
will most assuredly result. The managers
have had their teams on the field during
the past week, with the best result. The
Trainmen and Shopmen. who open the
season tomorrow, finished the year of
1908 tie. and the first game will he one

of the Trainmen will put the best line up
on the field, which will probably be as
follows: Roth. catcher; Watson, pitcher
Buscher. first base; Hanbey. second base;
Anderson. third base; Sullivan. short
stop; G. Handy. right field; Ryon. center

CAPT. GIBBS RETiRES.
Georgetown Track Leader Will Not
Run Next Year.

Much to the disappointment of George
town devotees of track, Freddie Gibbs,
the diminutive captain of the past win
ters team, announced yesterday that he
would no longer be seen on the path. but
from now on would give his attention
to other duties. He will. however, run
for assistant manager of the field and
track department, in order to show that
he still has the interest of his alma
mater foremost in his mind
The reasons given by the youngster
for retiring from actual competit on 50
early in his career. for he still has two
more years at college, are those of
health. He is of a very slender build,
and the rigid training which he had to
go through during the past winter did
great harm to him physically. After
much deliberation, and with great re-
gret, he has come to the decision that
it is necessary for him to take a long
rest in order to regain his normal con-
ditior.
His retirement recalls that as young
ster he showed much Of that great abil-
ity as a runner which later perform
ances proved that he possessed. Coming g
from Tennessee. he entered the prep de-
partment of the university. where for
two wears he was one of the leading re-
lay men in the school. 1t was during his
last season as a prep that he embryos
carried off the scholastic championship
of the District.
During his freshman year in college
he easily made a position on the var
sity, and last fall was selected to lead
the team during the season just ended.
An injury to his collarbone, which was
broken in one of the class foot ball
games last fall, kept him from getting
out with the men as early as he wished,
but once he did get in the harness. he
kept things booming for the rest of the
year.
The season during which he was cap
tain was certainly one of misfortunes
After trimming Richmond College at the
Johns Hopkins games. the men wen-
into strict training. confidently expecting
to beat Virginia at the Georgetown meet
But such was not to be, for after getting
together one of the speedest fOurs seen
at the hilltop school in number of
years. al hopes of victory were cast to
the ground by faculty ruling, which
took two of the best men off the team.
Again, at the Fordtlam games in New
York the Blue and Gray were putting
up fine race against Fordham and Holy
Cross, when spectator ran in front of
one of Capt. Gibbs men, knocking HIM
over. and thus spelling the teams chances
for a victory. The regret that is ex-
pressed because of the retirement of the
leader is great, but it does not surpass
the regret that is expressed because he
could not have led a luckier team during
the last year of brilliant career.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The star
NEW YORK, May Henry G. Smith
of Chicago owner of the Newark East
ern League team, is here to see his team
play ball.
Smith said that he had heard that
Johnny King would have been in Chica-
go ere this had it not been for stories
circulated about to the effect that he
would return for less money than he
received last year. Recently Smith had
heard that the owner of the Cubs had
sent Ted Sullivan, the scout, to Kansas
City with instructions to bring King back
with him if it cost $4,000. The Newark
club owner was of the same opinion or
many who maintain that King will soon
figure in a trade, and that Clarke Grif-
fifth will land the great catcher for his
Cincinnati team. Mr.. Smith states that
he has reasons to believe the deal will
soon be pulled off. 1t is well known that
King would like to go to Cincinnati.
where he could be installed as proprietor
of a magnificent pool and billiard parlor,
with Garry Hermann, chairman of the
national commission, back of the project.

This, however. about eXhausts the pos
sibilities of the Red and Blue.
Michigan proved that she has several
capable men for the quarter. half-mlle
and two-mile runs. but very few for the
special events. None of the other col
leges which competed at the relays
showed any unexpected strength. Con-
Sequently Il review of this meet 1ndf-
Gates that Yale. Harvard and cornell
are on practically even terms. with
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Cornell
similarly grouped. The holding of va
rious dual track meets within the next
three weeks will determine what the
new material is worth.
No Crews From the Coast.
What little prospect there was some
weeks ago that one Of the Pacific coast
universities might send an eight-oared
crew to the Poughkeepsie regatta has
been entirely dissipated within the last
week. This is due to the failure of the
three rowing universities, Leland STAN
ford, California and Washington. to or
ganiZe an association with the purpose
of sending the winner to Poughkeep
sic. A year ago one of the western uni
versities sent two men to Poughkeepsfe
to acquaint them with the situation.
They announced that they intended to
send a crew to the regatta this year.
Now they will not do SO.
The Poughkeepsie stewards are none
too we'll pleased that the westerners have
decided not to come, and there is some
talk that they will not be invited again.
Competition in the Pougkeepsie regatta
is still subject to the invitations of the
three colleges which compose the associ-
ation-Pennsylvania. Cornell and Colum-
bia. Although both Wisconsin and SYRIA
cuse compete quite as regularly as the
fasteners themselves, they are not men,
bers of the association. and come only as
invited guests. From time to time their
representatives have urged that they be
given a voice in the management of the
the present stewards that no change is
likely to be made.
Spring Foot Ball Practice.
There has been more of businesslike
aspect to spring foot ball practice this
year than ever before. AT Harvard, Yale,
Pennsylvania. Princeton and Cornell the
foot ball authorities have had out big
squads and have given them unusually
severe work. More and more the idea is
spreading that modern foot ball is totally
different from what it was ten or even
five years ago. There is probably no foot
ball coach who has had a better opportu-
nifty to study the game and it's changes
than Mike Murphy, who has spent the last
twenty-five years at Yale and Pennsyl-
vania. Although Murphy is best known
as track coach his knowledge of foot
ball is quite as comprehensive. Discuss
ing this matter few days ago, he re-
marked:
THE foot ball of today is radically diff
ferent from that of a few years ago under
the old rules. We teach different forma-
tions-so different in fact that half of the
stars of that day would be totally use
less on a modern team. And l look to see
this difference grow even more pro-
nounced in a year or two. The new
rules are slowly revolutionizing the game,
but they are making it better and safer
for the players and more exciting for the
spectators.

BATTING AVERAGES
"DoIIy" Gray Leads the Or
ganization, With Other
Locals Away Back.

The batting averages to date Of the
American League show Dolly" Gray at
the top. He has only been to the bat
six times. but in three turns he landed
on the ball safely and gets an average
of 500. If Dolly" could continue
at that rate he would soon be driven
out of the pitchers box for an outfield
position. Danny Hoffman is the real
leader, as he has been in nine full
games and at the bat thirty-four times.
Charley Street and Bob Ganley are the
first to show of the regular Nationals,
and their figures are only .259, showing
conclusively why the locals have not
won more games.

u.s.
While we may fatter ourselves on
our production of corn. oats, and
wheat. the figures show that we do
not make the best of our acreage.
The United Kingdom seems to be able
to produce more wheat from an acre of
land than any other country. For
the years 1898 to 1907 it has pro-
duced 2. 6 bushels per acre, as against
10 in this country and 9. 3 in Rus
sia, which makes the poorest showing
of the large wheatgrowing countries.
Germany leads in the yield of oats
with 49.3 bushels per acre against
1913 in this country. However, it
seems very natural that the country
having the largest tract under Guilt
vation should have a poorer yield
than those countries in which farming
operations are carried on on a smaller
scale aud more particular attention
can be given to the treatment OF the
land. so as to obtain the maximum
product.
