GOOD SCHEDULE
FOR WESTERN HIGH

The Western High School base ball
candidates participated in their first prac-
tice for the season of 1909 Tuesday after
noon. and about twenty-five or thirty
men reported to Capt. Hills first call
for candidates.
The boys across the creek are like East

several of the veterans from last year
again out for the team and this ex-
perienced material will undoubtedly
prove of great advantage to the George
town boys in developing a team capable
of making an excellent showing in the
approaching high school base ball series.
Among the men from last years nine
who are almost sure Of positions on the
nine that will represent Western on the
diamond this spring are Donovan. Guy.
Howard, Haycock, Hill, Robson and Nc

boys will undoubtedly miss the most is

REACHES NEW YORK
Wants to Arrange Fight Be-
tween Johnson and
JeffrieS.

NEW YORK. March 12.-Hu9h McIn-
tosh who promoted the worlds cham
pionship prize fight between Johnson and
Burns in Sydney. arrived today on the
steamer Mauretania from Liverpool. Nc
1ntosh announced before leaving Aus
tralia that he had a purse of $4,000
to offer for fight betwe Johnson and
James j. Jeffries if the two men would
consent to fight for. the worlds cham
pionship In Australia.
Mcintosh today said that he would be
satisfied to arrange for the contest to
take place in either England. France or
Australia, but preferred England. He
said his sole purpose in coming here was
to see Jeffries and try to induce him to
take on Johnson. His offer of a SO, ,0OO
purse stood, he declared.
Il am satisfied that Jeffries can be
trained and brought into fit condition for
the fight said Mcintosh. For him to
enter the ring with Johnson without being
in best condition, however. would be ex-
tremely foolish, for Johnson is won
derful fighter. There is no man living
who can beat Johnson without being in
the best condition and whether he can
be beaten at all now remains to be seen.
1t was hard work to get Jeffries in con-
ditiOE when Jeffries was only twenty-four
years old. 1t will. therefore, be an ex-
tremely hard matter now, but l am
pretty certain that it can be done
Mcintosh said he wanted to arrange for
the fight to take place within six months.
He added that IL Jeffries could be got
into fighting condition at all the work
Of making him fit could be done in six
months.

KERWIN TO LEADS PREPS.
Big Fullback Elected Captain of Blue

Ed kerwin. the star fullback of last

was last night chosen as captain for next
season. The newly elected leader was
the logical man for the job and his Sc
lection speaks we'll for his popularity,
since this is his first year at the Hilltop
school. He is a member of the class of
1910, so that his next campaign will be
his last as a colt for the following fall
will surely see him among the varsity
men
Kerwin. began his gridiron career at
Lowell High School in Massachusetts
that city being his home He played
there during the autumns' of 1904 and
1903. but the next season he went to the
Michigan Military Academy where his
work won him place OF what was then
one of the strongest scholastic teams in
the middle west. Although not attend
ing any school during the last months of
1907, yet he continued pursuing the pig
skin game by playing for his local Y.
NJ. c. a.
His career at Georgetown has been an
enviouS one. 1t took but one battle to
display the fact that he was the real
thing in moleskins. and his record dur
ing the whole series of games was ex-
cellent. Always on the aggressive he
proved an OK in tight places and speedy
in open field running. More than one
sporting writer mentioned him as one of
the best in the District and he was often
compared with Fury of the previous two
prep elevens.
Besides being a gridiron star, he is
also right at home in any branch of sport,
having made both the basket ball and
track team on the heights, and at pres
ent being much sought for by the cap
tains of crew and base ball. That he is
the best all-around athlete in the prep
school cannot be denied, and his secur-

guarded this season by L. NJ. McElveen,
who was purchased by the Superbas from
the champion Nashville club of the Sout h

Wieses of the new bunch, will form a

usual. a number of good ones will prob
ably show up with the opening of school
in September. who will greatly aid in
forming the eleven.
Manager Iangmuir is contemplating a
new plan for arranging his schedule,
which should prove much more success
full than the mode commonly employed.
1t is nothing other than listing his
games before June so that when the fall
term opens he will be sure of sufficient
number of contests. Lack of games has
always proven q severe handicap to the
embryo collegians. so that il next sea-

be just the thing for creating greater

WHITE SOX TO GO
AROUND THE WORLD

CHICAGO, Ill. March ia dispatch
To the Record-Herald from San Francisco
says:
President Charles A. Comiskey Of the
Chicago American League club. has an
nounced that he will take his base ball
team around the world after the season
of 1911 is finished. The start will be
made from San Francisco around Octo-
Der u. 1911.
The trip of the All-American base
ball club TO Japan. China. the Philip
pines and Hawaii last winter led Com
iskey to think that trip around the
world would be success. The trip of
the old Chicago White Stockings around
the world in 1889 was unqualified
success. In 1906 Comiskey took his

COURTNEY's CONDITION.
Georgetown Captain May Not Play
for Six Weeks.

1t was learned from authorities at
Georgetown last night that Capt. Court
ney of the base ball team. who is in the
university hospital suffering from pneu-
monia, that his condition is much more
serious than at first stated. The crisis is
expected within a day or So, after which
more definite news can be given out con-
cerning his chances for playing in the
opening games of the season. If he passes
through the next two days without get
ting any worse early improvement is
looked for, in which case he may be on
hand for diamond work by Easter. If
however, the opposite proves true he may
not be seen in base ball togs before the
last of April.
All his schoolmates are very much
srieved to hear of his i'll luck just at this
time, when he was planning on rounding
out brilliant college career by leading
a championship nine. Courtney has work
ed hard to get where he is, and 1t is
certainly too bad that he should be taken
sick Just at the time when his services
are most needed
His absence will probably give Ruggan.

the afternoon was the fielding Of Cogan

himself like a Lacquer, and his speedy
fielding of the sphere attracted the at
tention of more than a few of the on
lockers. He may prove just the man TO

games by the first of next week.
Manager Stuart announced last night
that he was unable to obtain permission
to play practice contests with local club
mines, SO that there will be no preliminary
exhibitions with outside teams. 1t is
probable however, that some old Blue
and Gray stars will come up and
strengthen the reserves so as to give the
varsity all it wants in the way of real
work
1t was finally settled yesterday that
Belts. Collif1ower and Handiboe would
umpire the different games during the
coming season. The selection of three
men is a wise move on the part of Man
ager Stuart as there is now plenty of
choice in the matter of arbterS thus
eliminating any chance of a kick by q
visiting team. So far Belts has been Sc
lected for most of the big games. but
the remaining contests will probably be
divided among the other two both OF
whom are popular with Washington fans
