WILL ELECT CAPTAIN SOON.
Georgetown Base Ball Men to Choose
Leader Within Few Days.

The base bail players of Georgetown
University are slowly recovering from
the shock they received when the sad
news Of Capt. Courtney's death was made
known to them, and although still under
a gloom they are nevertheless realizing
that they must pull together and play
their game as their late leader would
wish them to do IL he we're living. Thus
plans are being made for the election of
a new captain and one will probably be
chosen within few days
Manager Stuart was confronted with a
problem when he found that another man
had to be chosen to head the nine. for, as
a matter OF fact. he could not readily de-
termine who should vote. Should it be
this years squad, the C men on this
years or last years team? The first
proposition was thrown out Immediately,
as, under the constitution Of the associa-
ton, only &c" men can vote for cap
tain in their respective sports.
Then following the custom of other
universities. 1t was thought best that all
of last years team should be given
chance fer a choice. This. however.
would take considerable time and as the
first game Is scheduled for tomorrow a
week 1t was finally decided that those
CO. men Of last seasons team present
in the city should meet as soon as possible
and elect a leader. This will probably
be done Sunday or Monday after Harry
Devine returns from Worcester. having
gone there with the body Of his friend and
roommate.
The squad was out practicing yesterday
afternoon and considering the way they
all felt. they showed that they were fast
rounding into condition. The reorganiza-
ton of the outfield was made. tentatively,
and the combination will be tried for a
day or 50 to see how 1t works. Murphy,
the Pittsburg collegiate star. was in left
garden, with Duggan and Simon alternat-
ing at center. Sch1afy and Larry Smith
took turns over in the other space.
The infield. as 1t lined up for the few
scrub innings that were played. was COM
posed of ICY" Mcdonald on first. Null"
Maycock on second and 'Dukey' Mess on
third Billie" Sitterding was behind the
bat, DufYey being absent. and short was
covered by Callahan. The pitchers were
all given a chance at one time or another
so that not much of line could be gotten
on just who would most probably do the
twirling. Another practice will be held
this afternoon.

JACK JOHNSON
TO FIGHT .KETCHEL
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, March 19-World's Cham
pion Jack Johnson's next fight will not
be with Jim Jeffries or Jim Corbett. The
man he will meet is the mddleweight
champion, Stanley Ketchel The match
between Johnson and Ketchel was
cIinched last night, although few letails
are yet to be arranged.
Johnson said that the fight practically
was on, but that further communication
would be necessary before there would be
no doubt of it. The negotiations were
conducted by wire between the Ketchel
party in New York, Johnson in Chicago
and Jimmy Coffroth of San Francisco. 1t
is understood that Coffroth's interest In
the match comes through his desire to Sc
cure it for his Colma club.
Johnson declined to state this morning
lust what Coffroth had in the way of d
purse. and it could not be learned from
Ketchel or Willis Britt, his manager In
New York. The colored champion said 1t
would be at least ten weeks before he
would fight Ketchel If the match is
clinched for good and all today. 1his is
one of the demands that will be made by
lack, and it is up to Ketchel to accept if
he really wants to fight. Johnson also
said that he named his price, but declined
to say what he demanded.
James J. Corbett. who is showing in In
dianapolis, wired last night that he had
sent ST. 600 to AL Smith in New York to
show that he is in earnest in his chal-
lenge to fight either Johnson or Jeffries.
Johnson also will post 81 900 here. which,
Corbett says he also will cover.
