tee Of the South Atlantic Association Of
the A. A. U. will hold its final meet
Ing in Baltimore Saturday afternoon
January 80 at $50 o'clock, TO decide upon
the playing grounds and the rules for
conducting the championship for the sea-
son Of 1908 and 1909.
The beautiful trophy. presented by
pieges & Clust. New York city, was won
by the I'd Regiment team OF Washing
ton. D. c., for the season of 1907 and 1908
This trophy to become the permanent
property Of any team must be won three
times. not necessarily in succession The
trophy Is a full-size model OF a basket
ball in silver. mounted on an ebony stand
appropriately engraved. The competition
for this trophy is open to any basket ball
team in the South Atlantic district which
comprises Maryland. Virginia. West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and the District of Columbia. which is
regularly registered and sanctioned by
the y. A. L.
All entries for this competition must be
in the hands OF the chairman of the COM
mttee, w. C.. Thacher. 100 14th street
northwest Washington, d. c., accompa-
l2 O'Clock. Saturday. January 30. 1902
The series Of 1907 and 1908 was very
closely contested. The committee held
one game in Baltimore one game In
Washington and the deciding game was
held in the Y. NJ. C.. A. In Washington.
1t is believed that this series stimulated
a great deal of interest in basket ball.
and the teams representing the different
clubs and associations are much stronger
and better and play much faster basket
ball this season than ever before. SO that
the series this year should be even better
and more closely contested than last
year.

LEADS COMMERCIAL
Close Race Between Bradley
and Thomas for Individ-
uaI Hon0rS.

Although they have fallen off In their
bowling in the past month. the w. B.
Moses team still maintains the lead in
the Commercial Duckpin League. Since
the last publication of the averages they
have played nine games. of which num-
ber they were able to win only four.
This dropped them In percentage from
.740 to $685. The quint from S. Kann.
Sons & Co. has been rolling in excellent
form, having won six of its nine games.
Its percentage is GIL, having gained
10 points. The team representing the
Washington Tobacco Company has done
good work. having passed the Parker
Bridget, Hurley and Woodward-Lothrop
teams, and now stand In tuird position.
The George E. Howard aggregation still
holds last place in the team standing col
umn, with the same percentage of 1888.
1t won three and lost six battles. The
Moses team is still in the lead in the
team average column with .457. Wood
ward & Lothrop is second with .445 and
a fraction divides the Washington To-
DaCcO Company and the kann teams for
third position in this respect.
Among the individuals it may be no.
ticed that George Bradley of the Moses
quint and Thomas OF woodward & Lo-
throp are struggling hard for first hon.
ors. The former has an average of 94.S.
while the latter is credited with 94.5.
Third money goes to w. Fowler of s.

MANY STARS FOR
THE FEDERAL MEET

Melvin w. Shepard, champion middle
distance runner Of the world winner OF
more points In the London Olympic games
than any other member of the American
team, holder Of the worlds record for
both the 800 and 900 meter runs and the
only man ever appointed to a government
position because Of his athletic ability
will compete in two events in the Federal
Olympic indoor games in Convention Hall
the night Of February 90 Besides Shep-
ard. Michael p. Driscoll of the Mercury
Athletic Club. New York, national five
mile Junior. national two-rnile senior and
metropolitan junior and senior three-mile
champion. will start in the 5000 meter
run; Lawson Robertson Of the Irish
American Athletic Club. who beat Rector
In the final heat of the 1OO-meter run in
the Olympic tryouts. and Hally Hillman
OF the New York Athletic Club, member
of all the American Olympic teams since
1900, will compete in invitation and open
handicap events. The University of Penn
sylvania will send down a team Of a
dozen men. including a one-mile relay
team and ten men will come from the
University of Virginia. Practically the
entire track teams Of Georgetown, George
Washington and Johns Hopkins universi
ties Will be entered in the open events.
Mercersburg Academy will send along
eleven boys, and every other high and
prep school of Importance in and out Of
Washington. within a radius of $50 miles,
will have it's best team fighting for
the Pennsylvania alumni trophy.
Starting first in the 1,500-meter handi-
cap, his favorite distance, Shepard will
toward the end of the program also go
TO the mark in the 6O0-meter handicap.
1t was in the Olympic games last July,
under the handling of Mike Murphy, that
Shepard made his greatest reputation.
Not only did he have to fight against the
fastest middle-distance steppers in Great
Britain and the world, bat he had the
added difficulty of the peculiarly arranged
program. which put Just and Wilson.
Englands stars, In the slowest heats. Yet
he beat both of these men In two days,
defeating Just easily in the 800 meters in
1.54 4-5, and the next day in the 15OO
meters rushing by Wilson in the final
break for the tape. and winning with
yard to spare in 4.O3 % the times for
both distances being new worlds figures.
+. Shepard was also the third runner on
the American relay team which won the
worlds championship 1,6OO-meter race,
and it was on the strength of these per-
formances that President Roosevelt ap-
pointed the middle distance champion to
a position in the customs service in Phia-
delphia. Shepards first, and probably
his only, competition in Washington this
season will be in the Federal games.

METRIC SYSTEM FOR
GEORGETOWN MEET

The list of events Of the eleventh an
nual indoor games Of Georgetown Uni
versity, which were announced for the
first time last night, shows. among other
things. that Manager Corcoran intends
to be up to the times. as he has adopted
the metric system of measurement for all
races. There are. besides the relays,
thirteen open events. which. added to the
team races and special matches, should
fill up the evening Of March with
enough good sport to satisfy the most
clamorous.
AS is the custom. the novice events
head the list, with a 50-meter dash and
a GOO-meter run. open to all who have
never received prize for athletic ability.
Then comes the schoolboy races. open to
all scholastic athletes in the United
States Besides the 5O-meter dash and
400 meter run there will be a number of
schola site relays between the schools OF
the District of Columbia and nearby
states. The most important of these will
be the battle for the interScholastic
championship of the south between the
winners of the Prep-Tech-B Business race
in the Federal meet and Woodberry For
est High, with the possible Inclusion of
Alexandria Episcopal High. Such con-
test would be fight to the death. and
considering that the dopesterS have all
said of the trio of quartets are OF strong
caliber the contest will probably be close.
In the collegiate events there is but one
number besides the relay races, and that
is the 50-meter Dash. But the proposed
hurdle race for the intercollegiate cham
pionship would be classed under this
heading and this being between the best
collegiate hurders in America. including
Hartranft Rand, Howe, Smith and Good
win, will be one OF the headliners of the
evening. The Georsetown-V Virginia and
Cornell pennsylvania relays will top the
list in this department. while closely fol-
lowing Will come the Catholic University
Richmond College event. If the proposed
ArmyNavy race is brought about which
1t seems likely to be at the present writ
ing. this will be not only big hit, but
also novelty for local enthusiasts.
When 1T comes to the open and handi-
cap events there is list that will make
all true track sports sit up and rub their
eyes, for under this heading there are the
S00-meter run. the 4O0-meter run, the
15OO-meter run, the running high jump,
the pole vault and the sixteen-pound shot
put. Also among these will be included
the match race between Harry Hillman
and Jimmie Mulligan which should at
tract a lot OF local interest.
The program ends with the club relay
races, which are open to all club teams
In the world. If possible match at two
miles will be made between all-Wash-
ington and all-Baltimore teams. Consd-
ering the rivalry that exists between the
two cities, there is every reason to be-
lieve that spab II r""a would be q hot

RAILWAY RELIEF

The race in the Washington Railway
Relief Association Bowling League still
remains a close contest with the first
two teams. the Columbia and the East
ern quints, fighting it out between them
selves to see which shall remain at the
top OF the column. Both teams have
the same percentage. and only through
the number Of games bowled the Column
bia team claims the title OF first honors
The Columbia boys have done some con-
sistent pin-topp!ing during the past
weeks, and only through their strong
efforts of capturing two games out of
their last set did they manage to oust
the Easterns from the lead. The Me-
chanicals, although still in third position
are making strong bid to re ain their
lost laurels, and IL they be lucky enough
10 capture the entire next set they will
be seen in the lead again. The North
ern and Lighting Company seem to have
lost their bowling eyes. and are trail
ing the league with percentages of $50
and .20S. Whitney of the General ONCE

.STACG HANDED
A SEVERE JOLT
Tim Murnane Takes Slam at
Coach for Knocking
Leaguers.

Summer base ball continues to be a
serious problem for the college men
throughout the country. writes Tim Muir
name. It seems to be question whether
all the managers will come out in the
open and act on the level. AS 1t is now,
although it may appear that the col
lege players are sticking strictly to the
rules, the fact is that many are playing
under assumed names, preferring to take
this chance to make an honest dollar
rather than wait on table at some cheap
hotel at the seashore or mountains.
The rules should be made to be lived
up to. If the colleges find they cannot
furnish up-to-date ball by playing only
men who can afford to loaf around all
summer. It looks as If the wise heads
would go together and furnish the pub
lie with the teams made up of clever
ball players even IL they should have to
play ball each summer for from $50 to
s1C0 per week. Nice easy money and
keeps the young men in excellent con-
dition to assume their college studies
with some pocket money to help along a
good cause.
Alonzo A. Stagg. the old Yale pitcher.
now at the head Of the athletics at the
University OF chicago, a man Well verSed
in athletics after a lift given to the
business at SO much per, came out at
meeting in New York. and abused pro-
fessional ball players. and minor leagues
in particular, and claimed the college
man was in danger of losing his repu-
tation by coming In contact with the
veteran players who, as last resort,
were playing with the minor leagues.
The ancient custom of considering only
amateurs. men who lived on a swell in
come handed over by pa" has grown
to be considered a huge joke by the red
blooded American citizen. Should boys
be cut out of college athletics just be-
cause they are forced to earn money
to carry them through college?
Make your college game an open one
and give all those who are struggling
for degree a chance to shine on the
field as we'll as in the study hall No
boy should be allowed to take part in
games unless he Is regular student and,
first Of all, goes to college for the pur-
pose of an education.
In my experience I have usually found
the college boy who plays summer ball a
man who will make good in other walks
OF life later on and will be always pleased
to look back TO the days when he mixed
with the players in the minor leagues.

WINS
AT BASKET BALL

Fully 500 persons witnessed the basket
ball game at True Reformers' Hall last
night when the fast quint of the Arm
strong Manual Training School defeated
the Baltimore High School team IL to 5.
The game was fast and furious from be-
ginning to end The great number of
eager spectators cheered again and again
when goal from the center of the court
was made by Walker of Armstrong. The
playing of the Baltimore boys was char
acteriZed by some clever trick plays and
excellent team work, but luck was against
them, for they could not stop the goal
ward work of the Tecks. The excellent
work of Burwell and Walker of Arm
strong was the feature of the game Cur
tbs and Shipley did the best work for the
Baltimore team.
Contrary TO the expectation of the three
teams which withdrew from the league a
few days ago there is no indication that
the 1. s. A. A. will give up it's basket ball
games for this season, but, on the con-
trary, the crowd last night, in spite Of the
inclement weather, was the largest yet.

of Downey, the lineup of the two teams
will be the same as in the other two

day with the Washington and Lee game.
This team took a 12 to II victory from
the crowd across the creek on the last
turkey day. but the Georgetownians say
1t will be a different story next time.
AS both institutions will have nearly the
