SHIFT IN BASE BALL TEAM.
Sitterding Takes Cogan's Place on
GEORGETOWN Nine.

The coach of the Blue and Gray base
ball squad yesterday made a shift in his
lineup by putting Billie Sitterding on
third base in place of Billie Cogan.
Whether the change is to be a per-
manent one or not Is doubtful. as the
work of Cogan. with one exception, has
been almost perfect. Sitterding has been
doing stunts behind the bat during prac-
tice and his being put in the infield
comes as great surprise. The move.
however. was the result of Saturdays de-
feat. and may only be the beginning of
big upheaval or, as many think, may be
the first step in developing Sitterding
into utility infielder.
Harry Devine the steady twirler from
the west. will be in the box for the
locals today when they meet Cornell in
the second battle. None of the Hilltoppers
seems very much discouraged by the out
come of Saturdays contest. and the team
is being heavily backed by the students to
win this afternoon. Both Cornell and
Georgetown were put through practice
drill yesterday, and all the men are in
tip-top condition for what cannot help
but be a tough game.
Tomorrow Mike Thompson. eX-graduate
manager of Georgetown and one Of the
foremost foot ball arbitrators of the coun-
try, brings up his charges from Washing
ton College to seek for honors from the

BATTING WEAKNESS
OF "NAP" LAJOIE

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 5.-Accord-
ing to George Winter, pitcher of the De-
troit Tigers, he was the man who dis
covered the batting weakness of Ma
poleon La oie. and who, by judiciously
passing the information among the other
members Of the pitchers union, brought
1t about that the one-time kings batting
average was alumized to the extent of
100 points-a narrowing experience from
which it has never recovered.

WEST END RIVALS MEET.
Georgetown Props and Western High
to Battle Tomorrow.

For the second time this season the
Georgetown prep field will tomorrow
afternoon be the scene of diamond con-
test between the mines of the hilltop en-
bryos and Western High School The
first game was won by the Red and
White after much hitting had been in
dulged in by both sides. the final score
being 10 to Q. Since then. however, the
young collegians have become much
stronger, and there is quiet confidence
among the lads that their gritty little
knights of the sphere will turn the trick
on the neighboring rivals.
The props will line up the same as
they did yesterday morning. when in

the college juniors to the tune of II to

he being considered by Capt Gaynor
to be the best ball-bender in the school.
This nine is far better balanced than the
one that went down before the high
school boys before, and should be able to
live up to the sanguine prophecies of the
schools followers.
Western may have to use Lamson again
in the box. as he seems to be the best
man for holding down heavy hitters. The
rest of the team will hold the same posi-
tions as they did Saturday. when they
took a victory from the Army and Navy

Besides settling to some degree the SUI
premacy between the contending institu-
lions. the contest will also give the high
school dopesters a chance to draw COM
parison between Western and Eastern.
Only last Friday the latter aggregation
carried off the honors from the heights
after beating the props in a hard game,
so that the way Western shows up
against the same team should be good
criterion for the wise ones to go by. To-
morrow's scrap will start at $3.50 o'clock

NEW YORK, April 1.-The unexpected
result of the Marathon derby at the Polo
Grounds Saturday will do much toward
keeping alive the public interest in the
sport. The race served to introduce new
blood, and at the same time eliminate
two men from the frst-class ranks.
Before the contest started Alfred Shrubb.
the Englishman announced that it would
positively be his last appearance in a
Marathon race. His running proved con-
clusively that his limit is fifteen miles,
at which distance he is practically un-
beatable, and he will confine his efforts
to shorter races in the future. M. Ma
loney was disappointment to his friends.
After his victory over Pat White he
was looked upon as dangerous con-
tender for Marathon championship
honors. but on the form he showed he
cannot be classed with ST. Yves, Do
rando or Hayes.
The victory of ST. Yves was the biggest
upset in athletic circles in recent years.
Although he won the event by a hand
some margin, he did not show himself
to be a heady runner His frequent
spurts were in the main uncalled for. and
were the result of poor judgment Much
of the success was due to his condition,
which was splendid.
Contrary to general belief, no cham
ponship was involved in the race, and
ST. Yves must beat several good men
before he can claim the title. The race
was a closed one, the entries of Ed
ward Cibot and Louis Orphee of France
John Svanberg of Sweden and Pat VI .iite
of Ireland being refused. OF this quar-
tet Cibot has the best claim to the
championship. He has not only beaten
st. Yves, his countryman, several times,
but holds the record for the Marathon
distance, 2:34:50. Cibot, with Orphee as
a partner, won the recent six-day go-as-
yOu-please race at Madison Square Gar
den, and is now training hard for Mara
thon contests. Although he has not
run against Svenberg, he has frequently
defeated men who have beaten the
Swede. He holds many European long
distance records and is anxious to run ST.
Yves in this country
Although Dorando finished second, he
has lost none of his popularity, and will
still remain a big drawing card in any
Marathon race in which he may run.
Hayes was unfortunate in permitting the
other contestants in the race to get SO
far ahead of him in the early stages Of
the contest He made a plucky effort
to regain some of the lost ground, and
had he kept within haiing distance of
the leaders during the first fifteen miles
the result might have been different.
Before the race Tom Flanagan, the
former manager of LOngboat. stated that
the Indian had broken training last
Tuesday, and would hardly finish. as he
was out of condition. The vanquisher
of Dorando and Shrubb made a sorry
spectacle. and was never dangerous
throughout the race. 1t will require sew
eral weeks of hard training to get him
back to form.

SHUT
OUT TWINING BOYS

The Twining Athletic Club base ball
nine suffered defeat at the hands of the
Engineers in well played game yester-
day at the arsenal grounds by the score
Of to 0. The Engineers started scoring
at the lead-off of the game and plainly
showed that they were on the job.
The fifth inning was one of much ex-
element, the boys from the arsenal
secured five runs. The last run was
made on Sapps hit and steal and How
ards sacrifice.
The slab work was performed by Jim
Collins for the soldiers. He was relieved
by Howard in the seventh inning.
Haas for the Engineers made 4 fine
showing with the bat and succeeded in
cracking out three timely bingles.
Sullivan made a good impression upon
those present by his ability to stand fire
behind the big stick" His work as
catcher was good, also securing a long
hit The score.

per.s. a meeting will take place some
time this week. at which the plans for
the new course will probably be tenta-
tivev dra wn.
When completed, the racing stretch will
be one Of the most beautiful and at the
same tine the easiest for observation in
the country. 1t will extend between the
pr oposed Memorial bridge and Long

ming stlaightaway with the shore. Peo-
pie in Potomac Park or on either bridge
will have a clear view of the whole
course. while vehicles on the driveway
will easily be able to follow the races.
Nor will it be handicapped by narrow
ness. as the river is plenty wide enough
at this point for over a dozen crews to
row abreast.
The one disadvantage of the new course
will be the low bank on the west, which
allows almost any wind to come across
the water with enough speed to ruff1e the
surface. But this is only slight matter.

That the lower river possesses many
advantages over the upper for rowing
races is plainly evident Its width.

it possesses. for beside these 1t is shown
that the current of the stream is even at

Of one course over another. Above

1t is hoped that work on laying out
the course will be started as soon

time for the Georgetown freshman-senior
match to be rowed over it. BY this race
the advantages of the new over the old

BASE BALL SEASON SOON OPENS.
Nationals Have a Strong Team in
the Race This Year.

From the Washington Patriot
One week from today the base ball
season opens, and it is safe to say that
never before in the history of local base
ball have the prospects of the team rep
resentinS the capital appeared better 1t
cannot be denied that the Nationals, as
now constituted, must be reckoned with
by the other teams in the American
League before any position can be
prophesied for the clubs.
This condition has been brought about
through the liberal business policy of
the Washington club owners and their
earnest endeavor to give the fans of the
capital q team of which they can be
proud. The liberality and the earnest eff
forts of the club owners to build up
first-class ball team should be appre-
ciated by base ball fans in the District
who should lend their aid by encouraging
the boys to do their best at all times
and nothing is a greater incentive than
to have the stands well filled at every
game. A local paper is offering a prize
10 the one who correctly guesses the
batting order of the Nationals in their
opening game Monday. Without at
tempting To claim the prize, we submit

the Williams home on Artesian street
this morning. He found the boy
of the household. Ernest Williams,
brandishing knife and threatening
to harm the other members of the

Fred Weed, the juvenile officer. The
boy was brought before Judge Whit
ney this afternoon and will probably
be sent to the reform school.
In addition to the charge of threat
ening the other members of his fam
lily It is stated that the boy also
stole revolver from neighbor and
as he has been before the Juvenile
Court before, II is unlikely that his

This decision was arrived at after

judges did not put In an appearance
and at the last minute the people
who were running the show appoint

These gentlemen acted In good
faith and gave their decisions - II
does not matter II II was correct or
not - and now on Referee Ayres'
opinion, the judges have been de-
clared UNOFFICIAL.
The whole matter was mismanag-
