Washington Fans Will APP

From Gotham.

Washington fans have heard so many
hard luck stories they will appreciate
this fiaunt by Herbert in the New
York Tribune this morning:
What's the matter with the Yankees
is a question that I have been asked
so many times in the last few days that
] have acquired the habit Of crossing
the street TO avoid its repetition

beyond the fact that the team is more
or less cut up and crippled. and tina I

is playing the best baSeball-has turned
her back. There were times in the Chi
cagO and Cleveland series when tn
Yankees failed 20 take advantage Of
golden opportunities, and there were two
or three cases when a little inside base
bail. OF which the team Is quite capab BILE
might have turned the tide in its favor.
Errors of omission rather than errors
Of commission have played a leading
part, and this in itself Is surprising"
There is no immediate cause fer wor-
ry, however, over the present slump,
as the lost ground can be quickly re-
gained If the regulars get hack on the
field and the team settles down to its
true form. Everybody is thinking Of
course, Of the brave start Of a year ago,
followed by the utter demOrailr 7tiOn

team has shot its bolt. as some have
suggested. for Stallings is too good a
master and too clever a manager TO per-
nit so many good ball players 10 lose
heart and go to pieces. Things have
broken badly for the Yankees, it Is true.

much was expected, but StaIlings is a
fighter and a turn for the better can
be looked for, and that right soon"

GE GEORGETOWN MUST
GET NEW CENTER
Eager Will Not Return TO
College Next Fall-Other
Uncertainties.

When the Georgetown football squad
reports for practice about the middle
OF September Jack" Eager will be
among the missing. and 1t will be neces-
sary for Coach Newman TO develon an
other player for center.
DR.. John Eager. father of the player,
is assistant surgeon of the Marine Hos
pitaI and Public Health Service. He
leaves tomorrow for Portland, Me, and
Young Eager will enter some Northern
college, probably BowdOin.
Eager entered Georgetown from Cen
trail High School. where he had earned
bonors on both the field and track and
the football teams. He played as line
man on the eleven, and, although rather
short on weight. made the position
against strong competition. he was one
OF the highest members Of the George
town squad. but had no trouble in max
ing center. where he PLAYED con-
sistentIy strong game throughout the
fall.
Eager never attempted rowing until
going to college. but made the fresh
man crew, and rOwed against the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania in the Ameri-
can Henley on the SchuyiL1ll.
The situation IN regard 10 Georgetown s
football prospects is just now most IN
certain Former Captain Miller has
announced his intention Of not return
ing for his last year, while Shea, who

NEW YORK, June 21.-There will
be another double-header on the Hill
top this afternoon. the Highlanders
having as their opponents Joe Cantil-
Ions Nationals. who took on a new
lease of life when they defeated the
Detroit Tigers in three out of four
games. After the bargain bill the
LOCAL Americanos viii take to the road
for a short trip, returning to their
home lot again on June 26. when the
Washingtons will reappear with them
and show for the last time this season
on the Hilltop.
Manager Cantilion, of Washington,
thinks he has his club going right and
thet 1t will be up in the first division
before long. Two of the Nationals
stars are on the disabled list at pres
ent-Jim Delehanty and otis Clymer
but the team has been winning
nevertheless. Both athletes have in
jured ankles. The District of Column

game at second, but they are sadly in
need of an outfieldeT. Neither Nick

interested in Gray.
Cantillon today will introduce a new
performer TO the Highland lot-one
Dolly Gray, a southpaw who last
year was in the Pacific Coast League.
Gray will twirl the first game for the
washingtons and Walter Johnson the
second, unless Cantillon decides to save
him for Philadelphia. The Idaho
phenom has been working grandly of
late. and had the Highlanders on his
staff on Saturday. even if he was as wild
as a hawk.
Manager Stallings will use WARRIOR
and Doyle, and hopes to capture both
games with his midgets. The Highland
cripples are gradually gettinS ready TO
forsake the infrmaTy. and there is a
possible chance that Cree will get back
in the game this afternoon. Keller will
be able to don the spangles later in the
week.
Tomorrow the rah rah boys from Yale
and Princeton will have secession OF
the Hilltop grounds. The Tigers and the
Bulldogs are TO meet there in a game

AF TER J.. JOHNSON
ON MANY CHARGES
Negro Pugilist Piling Up
Trouble for Himself by
DiSobeying Court.

BOSTON, June 21.-Jack Johnson, the
heavyweight pugiust, will some time to-
day be arrested on a warrant issued by
Judge Murray In the municipal court
yesterday.
Special Officer HaZlett has for about
eighteen hours been waiting at the hotel
where Johnson mas been making his
home in an attempt to serve the paper,
but has so far failed to discover the
whereabouts Of the negro. The issuance
Of a warrant for Johnson marked the
elimination of a series of legal eEtangle-
ments into which the fighter has fallen
since the first daV he came to Boston,
nearly two weeks ago and which, if
he meets all the cases in court, are
bound 90 keep him In the city for some
time vet
The night johnson arrived in Boston

in a civil suit for some 800, which Peter
Walker. colOred, claimed was due him
for training Johnson when he lived in
Boston and Chelsea some years ago. A
hearing was set for the case on june
26, and the landlord Of the hotel where
Johnson is stopping put up bonds for MS
guest appearance. A few days later
papers were served in a suit for 5000
on behalf of Alec Mclean. who claimed
he had entered into A three years part
nership with Johnson in 1906, anC that
the latter had failed TO live up 10 his
part Of the agreement. A hearing IS
expected in the case some time early
next month.
Early last week Johnson left his
auto standing for half an hour on
School street in the heart of the bust
ness section and was taken into the
municipal court and fined s. for violat-
ing the trafhc laws.
Besides all this. Johnson said his rae

SCHOOLS START WORK
FOR GRIDIRON SEASON
Various Managers Are Listing Players and Coaches
Tech Has Brightest Prospects for
Next Fall

With the surprise over the winning
OF the baseball championship by Bust
ness, for the first time in two genera
tions OF students, interschVlasic ath-
letiC enthusiasts are today beginning TO
consider the football outlook for next
fall
In attempting to gauge the probable
strength Of a college team it is GUS
tOmary 10 figure on the veteran mem
bers remaining from the previous year
and the stars from the big schools who
can be counted upon to bid strongly
for varsity berths. But in the schools
the plans Of students are so uncertain
and the PROBABLE enIistmcnts from the
graded schools are so unreliable that
little real dependence is put in this
method.
The players remaining from last year
show that next season should be a
most successful one here
-Four years ago Western earned the
championship title by not only win
ming every game on her schedule, but
going through the season without being
scored upon-a feat that has never be
fore or since been accomplished by a
high school team. The following year
the fight resulted in a triangular tie
between Central. Technical, and West
grn, but for the past two seasons Tech
meal has been the undisputed champion
or the scholastic gridirOn.
What changes the next three months
will bring cannot be judged, but at this
time it would appear as though Tech
nicaI. with the prestige of past vic
tories and a goodly array of veteran
players, is the logical favorite. Cap

that Cerussi would have recovered from

Rice gave his captain every opportunity
Ceussi was unable to get in anything

Effects of Basketball.
The loss of Ryan TO the Blue and
White varsity shell was severe one,
too, for 1t meant that another of the
veterans of the 'OS crew, and supposed
~ the strongest man in the boat, was
unable to hold his own. Basketball was
also probably the cause of Ryan's back
wardness in rounding into form.
The new Columbia crew is made IN
of three veterans of PouehleeDsie var

Although the varsity eight shows ID

combination skins along the river as II

Cornell first year men row a snappy
stroke, with a fairly fast recovery.
QuaKers and Badgers.
OF the late arrivals-wisconsin and
Pennsylyania-littl can be said, because
of the short time they have spent on
the river. This much is certain, how
ever, the Wisconsin crews row a nice
stroke, but there seems to be something
heavy about it that gives the men the
appearance of being tired The boat
does not go along with much snap un-
der these conditions.
Badgers Criticised.
This may be harsh criticism for the
Badgers. and before making it final it
would be well to wait until they have
become thoroughly rested up from their
long jaunt across half the continent,
and also until they get accustomed to
conditions on the Hudson. They are a
tall, strapping lot. and if Ten Eyck has
not developed good varsity crew it is
not from the lack of ability to select
good material. The freshmen, too are
a large and well developed set of yo ng-
sters, and al present seem TO have bit
more snap in their rowing than tier
older brothers.
Pennsylvania. after a season of the
worst Kind OF luck, is evidently deter
mined to make the best Of it, and there
is little doubt that the crew Will fight
its hardest in the race. From the we'll (
balanced eight that defeated Yale In

Quakers in a short spin looked a husky |

before anything can be said of their
rowing abilities. for appearances count
for little. especially in the case of a
crew that is just trying out entirely
new conditions of water The PennsvI-
Vania freshmen give more promise than
the first year men of a year ago.
