HATCHETITES ARE GAME.
Not Discouraged Over Saturday
Nights Showing.

George Washington will send a strong
representation to the athletic meet at
Richmond next Saturday night. Eight
men, including a relay team, will look
out for the Hatchetites' interests, with
the expectation of making a much bet
ter showing than in their own games
Who the men will be is not yet definite
ly known, Coach Morse anticipating that
the present week may develop some new
material. 1t is probable, however, that
the relay team, which ran away with the
contest against Richmond College Satur-
day night, will be taken i'm toto.
The team consists OF Smith, Bayley,
Gill and Bowen. Gill Is former George
Washington captain, who has returned to
college to complete his course. He had
no difficulty in holding his man and was
not compelled to extend himself. Bay
ley appeared for while last year, but
was compelled to give up the cinder path
for his studies. This season, however, he
has found time to train regularly, and
has proved his worth by easily making
the varsity. Bowen and Smith are new
men, who surprised the Buff and Blue
followers by their gritty work on their
first appearance. Bowen particularly
showing his man clean pair of heels.
OF the remaining men it is probable
that Bryant. who secured third in the
mile run; Fleming, the new captain, and
one or two more will accompany the
team. Fleming is the young chap who
jumped into the limelight last winter by
winning the annual cross-country run
from a large and experienced field. He
was out of form Saturday night and
failed to get place. finishing fifth, after
starting few yards from scratch There
is little doubt in the minds of his friends
that he will develop into a star despite
his slight physique. His brother. Bob
Fleming, ii will be remembered, was a
mainstay of the George Washington team
while a student In the university, and
gained the reputation Of being one Of the

Quickest men on the track. He is at
present taking postgraduate work at
Cornell.
Fleming, Junior, is acting captain Of the
Hatchetite team, as was announced last
week. The action of Chairman McBain
of the athletic council in disqualifying
ex-Capt. Curtis, just before the meet, was
the subject of considerable discussion
around the vicinity of the university, but
the sentiment was strongly with DR.. Nc
Balm. Since accepting the position of
craftsmanship of the council he has been
striving to raise the standards of ath-
letcs to the highest notch and has op-
of irregularity. He has the complete con-
fidence of both the faculty and students
of the university and will be upheld by
them in his course. He said this morning:
Il regretted sincerely to take such action,
Immediately before the meet, but the in
formation which led to it came to me
only that day. Under our system the
captains of the various teams during the
period of preparation are supposed to see
that all who appear to train are bona
fide students in good standing. The
names of such men, however, must be ap-
proved by the chairman before they can
participate in any intercollegiate event.
names at any time, before the occurrence
of such event, and are supposed to report
them at the earliest possible moment.

athletics. but shall endeavOr to uphold the
standards of clean athletics above all crit
icism, whether just or unjust
1t seems that Mr.. Curtis, particularly in
grossly negligent in not carefully learning
beforehand the rules under which his
team is governed, in order to prevent the
action which necessarily occurred.

OLDFIELD IN FRONT.
Exploding of Tire Spells Exciting
Automobile Race.

NEW ORLEANS, February What
promised to be an exciting race between
Ralph De Palma, in Fiat car and Bar
ney Oldfield, in a Benz machine, at the
Fair Grounds race track yesterday, was
spoiled in the fourth mile, when the tire
on De Palma's machine burst with a
sound that could be heard all over the
course and forced De Palma to leave the
track.
The race was for ten miles, and up to
the time of the mishap both men were
racing neck and neck at daring speed
that threatened trouble at any moment
a special match race for the world S
championship. With De Palma out of
the way, Oldfeld kept on and finished
the distance alone in 8 minutes SO sec
Onds.
1t was the second days automobile rae
ing held in connection with the Mardi
Gras carnival, and about $500 persons
were in attendance. The program, on
the whole, was disappointing. OF the
six races that were on the program only
four were run. OF these the five-mile
race for amateur drivers was easily the
feature, and was won by Fred Shaw, in
a Knox car, with c. S. Bragg. in Fiat

LOOKING FOR A COACH.
Harvard Unable to Secure Mathew.
son to Train Team.

BOSTON, Mass, February lit is now
certain that Mathewson of the Giants
will not coach the Harvard players in
their cage again this year. "Matty"
said that McGraw would not let him off
from the southern trip again, but Pieper
decided to see the New York manager
himself. Pieper has just returned from
New York, where he was unable to per-
suade McCiraw to allow Mathewson TO
come to Cambridge.
McGraw told the Harvard coach that
he did not think Mathewson was at his
best in the National League race of 1909,
and that he intended to take "Christy''
south with the Giants this spring. Nc
Graw also said that he considered
in the Harvard cage last winter, and
that he believed college coaching does
not help a professional pitcher at all.
So Pieper returned to Cambridge with
out having secured Mathewson and real
iZing that choice of some man to coach
his pitchers must be made at once
The Harvard management had written
to several pitchers before Pieper went
to New York. Word has already been
received from two of them. "Wild Bill
Donovan of Detroit has sent his terms
to Harvard. and these now are under
consideration.
Donovan stated what he would expect
to be paid to coach the Harvard batter
les for term of three weeks and also
for a month. asking practically the same
amount as the Harvard management paid
Mathewson year ago. Donovan would
be allowed to come east by Manager
Jennings, who for SO many seasons was
the base ball coach at Cornell.
Eddie Cicotte of the Boston Red Sox
was another pitcher to whom the Har-
ward management wrote. The "knuckle-
BALI man has not yet sent reply to
Cambridge, but wrote to the Boston club
headquarters. He said he would like to
go to Cambridge for few weeks and
wanted permission to do SO.
The Harvard management did not write
to Mordecai Brown of Chicago, but did
write to Jack" Chesbro. who coached
the Harvard pitchers in 1904

Creek yesterday. 1t was a f1uky wind
that played all kinds of pranks with the
ball, but the Sons judgment won out.
The soldiers won the toss and elected to
kick down with the wind The Sons,
however, got to work and before many
minutes Overton received a nice pass
from Taupert and scored.
The Sons still kept the ball up in the
face of the wind, and by almost the
same play Overton scored again. The
artillerymen braced up and some fine
passing followed. just before half time
there was some pretty work on the part
of Hyde, Windsor and Downing, the lat
ter shooting nice goal from the line.
At the end of the half the Sons had
scored three goals. In the second half
the boys from Fort Myer made desper-
ate efforts to score, but to no avail.
Downing, helped by Taupert, Lawson and
Howard, made a nice short and scored.
Guthrie soon followed this by shooting
goal on pass from Brogan and Over
ton. and the game ended.
The Fort Myer men were much puzzled
by the wind. but March 10. when the
Sons return the visit, promise them a
much harder battle. The lineup:

BAD FIRE
OCCURS IN GARY
81, 500 Goes Up in Smoke in
Conflagration Lasting
But Is Minutes.
OvERHEATED, STOVE THE CAUSE
Fire Hydrants Were of Little Use in
Combating the Seething
Flames.
OvERHEATEO STOVE THE CAUSE

It took about fifteen minutes ! Of
Gary's time last night for the flames to
destroy $1,000 worth of property of the
Stein-Lamb company. located along the
Lake Shore tracks in the northeastern
part Of the city. AS Mr.. Peter B. Lamb
stated last night: The fire started at
s:45 and the building was destroyed at
about S:46."
The building destroyed was a frame
structure used for the commissary de-
partment for the Stein-Lamb construc-
ton company. The dining room In the
building boarded from stx.v to one hun
dred employees OF the company. but for
tunately no one lived in the burned
structure except the cook. who had a
room in an adjoining apartment
The building was valued by the COM
pany at $1,000, and was insured by
Homer Ansley in the Ohio Farmers
company for $1,000. Besides the de-
struction of the building the provisions
which amounted to considerable sum
were also burned.
The cook, W. L Hartzel1. also had
the misfortune of loosing $3.50 IN cash
which he had stored away in his trunk
and which he stated was the only mon
ey he had in the world No other in
dividual losses were sustained by en-
p1oyes.
The fire started from an overheated
stove where Hartzeil was making bread
at the time. No one seems to have
seen the fire start. but this was un-
doubtedly the cause. In a few seconds
after the blaze was first seen the whole
building was a seething mass of flames
other structures in the vicinity were
saved by water drawn from a pump
nearby and by chemicals unsed by the
fire department before the line of hose
! could be laid for some distance to the
nre The nearest flrel hydrant was foul
or Ave blocks away.
Mr. Lamb announced this morning
that the building would be rebuilt i'm
mediately.
