WEATHER EXCUSE
OF THE ATHLETES
Action of A. A. u. Guarantee of
Protection From Nonappear-
ance of Advertised Stars.
BY ]. R. HILDEBRAND.

An entirely new light is thrown on
the failure o. five advertised athletes
10 appear at the Georgetown games as
the result of two announcements made
this morning by Dr.. d. L. Wiber. repre-
senting the y. A. l., who has under
taken an investigation OF the occur
renee. These announcements are:
Manager Corcoran has produced
signed blanks from Pilgrim, Sedley,
Lee, Driscoll, and Cook, thus clearing
the Georgetown management of blame
Tor the nonappearance of these ath-
Ietes.
Or. Wiber will take the matter up
directly with the athletes through the
registration of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation though it is probable that the
bad weather on March 4 and may
nave furnished sufficient excuse for
their nonappearance on March 6.
Inc public is rot nearly so much
concerned about knowing who is to
blame for this particular mixup az TO
sentations
Extraordinary conditions that existed

when five athletes could not reach
washington because Of a railway tie-up
and could not communicate with offic-
lalS because the wires were down, are
not likely To occur again. Neither DO
they explain similar occurrences at two
other meets held here this winter.
That the 4 A. L. officials may have
been following a blind alley in trying
90 punish these athletes does not prove
that their efforts were not warranted
Their action on this occasion should be
guarantee that they will protect the
public at coming athletic events
Manager CorcOran is to be cOngratu-
lated for his prompt action in produc-
ing these entries to vindicate George
town. To withhold them with the false
idea of protecting the offending ath-
letes would have put the Georgetown
games under suspicion for years tC
come.

Bring Action From Commission
LETTERS TO WASHINGTON FANs-No. II

In order 10 prevent colluSIon between
the player and other major clubs, he
might have a string tied to him, by way
,oI proVlSO, that, should he not retain
his managerial job IN the minors, ne
should then revert to the club from
which he was released
In recent years the custom has arisen
Of magnateS waving on veterans out OF
courtesy, but you can never tell when
such tacit understanding viii be
broken. Monte Cross, Jack Warner,
Jimmy Collins, Joe McGinnity, and 9TH
er' were allowed to go where they
pleased, although they sJIH had lot OF
baseball in them. On the other hand,
the case of Ollie Pickering shows how
an injustice might be done, and ball
player deprived an opening for his fu-
ture
Pickering claims he could have man
aged Bloomington this year and would
have had a percentage of the gate re-
celptS as bonus. He is now near the
end of his rope and 1t might have been
an excellent chance for him 70 estab-
lish himself, but Minneapolis, TO which
he was transferred last winter from
Washington, refused to release him,
and ne had TO pass up the Blooming
ton offer. There are always two sides
to question. and Pickering may not
! have been entitled to special considera-
ton, but this instance shows how the
magnates might work a serious injus-
I
thought and care to formulate rule
that would cover the ground thorough
ly and properly protect all concerned
but ii could be done.
1t is barely possible that before Wash
| ingtOn has completed its long list OF
exhibition games Manager CantillOn will
have spotted talent for Washington or
Minneapolis. The extended spring trips
are utilized by him as scouting eXpedi-
tions, and he pays as much attention

AT A FAIR CLIP
Whole Camp Moves TO San An

Detroit.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

GALVESTON, March 19.-There was
not so much doing in the glory line when
Washington beat Galveston yesterday.
The mistakes were in headwork at the
bat more than in mechanical imperfec
tions. Little Judgment was shown in
swinging al the ball, and both Freeman
and Street did the wrong thing in try
ing for a hit when there was a good
chance for a man TO steal with two
out.
The Galveston pitchers cut loose and
in seven Of the eight innings Washing
ton got but four hits and no runs. That
is not enough swatting to win medals.
but the season is young yet and none
OF the other major teams are breaking
the fences as a regular thing
Groom Goes Good.
Groom had a slight shade on Gray
yesterday in his achievements in the
box. reversing the order of Wednesday
when Gray made the better showing.
Both are setting a pace much faster
than many phenOms who have been
much more touted than they in news
paper stories. 1t is only necessary for
I them TO keep their gait TO remain in
fast company.
The old reliable combination Of ely
mer and Ganley on the bases got in ,ts
work yesterday and q double steal was
pulled off with such speed the Galveston
/ catcher did not even throw Blanken-
ship displayed remarkable speed on the
! bases and 1t is hard to see how he can
be kept out of the regular lineup.
Neither Galveston nor Hickman, Ky.
Cantillon's home, is likely to see the
( Washington camp next spring. The OBJ
! lection TO both, according to Cantillon,
{ is that they do not afford sufficient
patronage for exhibition games to en-
able the club TO get back a fair share
I or the training expenses, which run well
. Up in the thousands He has HIS eve on
a large Southern city which has proved
! from the standpoint of weather and
| finances.
After New Training Camp.
No deal has yet been closed and the
Galveston proposition viii be held open
| by the local management here until
| CantiIlon has thoroughly investigated
other sites.
| Great expectations are entertained by
| Cantillon Of a profitable two days in
! San Antonio, playing Detroit there to-
! morrow and Sunday. San Antonio folk
| are much interested in the Tigers and
! are anxious TO see them against an
| other American League team. The

Dear Fanatics: one of the worries
for Cantillon's managerial shoulders
this year viii be the legs of two of his
scantv list Of OutfieldeTs-
The young men with the doubtful
props are Clymer and Milan. Should
anything happen TO either it would
neCes essitate a shake up Of the infeld to
find a man for the outer garden, ac-
corGing to the way the team now lines
up on paper, and If both of them should
90 out OF commission there would be
a sad mess all around. with the pros
pect of Blankenship in the rhubarbs.
IT will be remembered that last sum-
mer Milan seriously sprained his ankle
in sliding to second. and played again
before he had been out Of the game
long. That quick return to work did
him no good. and. while he is not COM
planning. he has not the same confidence
in the ankle that he once had. 1t may
go back on him at any time, especially
as he is a persistent baserunner, and
is always taking chances in sliding.
Clymer claims that his ankle, which
was broken before he was bought
from Pittsburg by Washington: is as
strong as 1t ever was, but he thought
Ni't ScaiAlr llAiliS III l5Dc, anu was bn tie
bench a large part OF the season.
All of this offers food for thought
and makes a fan wonder II Cantillon is
going to dig up another outfielder in
the near future, for the presence of
COnroy does not solve the problem if
the nfield is to be kept together.
The action of Manager McGraw, of
the New York National League club. fn
suspending Cy Seymour for attacking
Arlie Latham in the Motel at Marlin
Springs created a genuine baseball SEN
sation in Texas. The fans and players
discussed 1t by the hour, but without
any unanimous opinion. Seymour can
be a very quarrelsome person when in
bad humor, but Latham has a cut
ting tongue and vicious wit that have
caused trouble more than once before
in his baseball career What he said
to Seymour 10 start the scrap is not
known. but it was probably a fierce bit
of repartee and there are those who
sympathize with the suspended man.
Somebody has advanced the PROPOSE
ton that after a player has served a
number OF years in the major leagues.
and receives an offer to manage OF buy
a minor league club. that he have the
right TO demand his absolute release in
order to accept such offer This is a
fair and reasonable suggestion, and
should be embodied iR baseball law.

ATHLETICS FOR GUARDSNEN
Championship Series IN Basketball
ana 28a0or 6RS60R0 Promised
This Winer.

Athletics wiz play an important
part In the National Guard Of Utah
this fall and winter. Plans now under
way call for a championship schedule
in basketball and indoor baseball, each
company and corps to enter teams.
Reports from the Salt Lake compa-
MES and those in other cities are most
favorable to the plan, which has the
advantage OF both furnishing athletics
for the men and by the trips through
out the state bringing the Utah
guardsmen in closer touch with each
other.
In past seasons the Salt Lake com
panies Of the guard have entered with
the other local teams in competition,
but never before has a national guard
championship series been arranged. AS
well as playing with the guard teams,
the local teams of the guard hope to
enter a league with the Y. NJ. c. A.
]. d. S, University of Utah and other
teams, both in basketball and indoor
baseball.
Captain Freeman Bassett and others
are pushing the arrangements.
