ment.
J. B. Spragins says the Yaller
ammers from Alabama seemed to
be little slow in their work of
organizing and he will join with
the Mississippians if his own state
does not get busy. Charley sam

Alabamians will be there in requi-
site numbers and with a good pa

REDRAW FOR TENNIS TITLE.
Omission of Teams in Indoor Cham.
pionship Makes Move Necessary.

NEW YORK, March 14.-For the first
time in the history of national champion
ship lawn tennis tournaments in this
country a redrawing of the competitors
was made yesterday in strict conformity
with the rules. 1t was made necessary in
the doubles event of the womans cham
pionship which began Saturday upon the
courts of the 7th Regiment Armory be-
cause of Referee William B. Cragin. jr.,
learning that pairs properly entered had
been omitted from the original drafting
for places.
While the redraw made yesterday
marks the first time that this has been
done in national tournament. it is not
the first time that errors of emitting duly
entered competitors have been made.
Both the singles and doubles of the
women's championship will be advanced
to the semi-final rounds today The new
dra wing of the doubles follows:

carried off two medals in the low hurdle
events, and the fact that at least five
others of the squad have shown excellent
form during the brief indoor camp align of
the Blue and Gray team, it is pretty GER
tain that the Hilltop school will apply
for readmission in the |. G. A. A. A. A.
this year, and will send a team to COM
pete in the annual championship meet OF
that organization. Manager McNulty in
timated that he would adopt such
course If conditions We're favorable, and
since it is only necessary to be represent
ed by two men in the intercollegiate at
fair to retain membership in the organi-
zatlDn, there is now little doubt that the
tentative plans of the Georgetown leader
will soon become realities.
AS Georgetown Is also contemplating
the holding of a dual outdoor meet with
Virginia in May. it will be necessary to
keep the men in training, and with the
extra contest to fight for they would be
far more ambitious to do their best.
Coach Foley has Obtained wonderful re-
suits from a crowd of youngsters, of
whom the majority were novices, and
with two months more work there is
every reason to believe that he Will have
many Of the colts rounded into fine form.
1t is known that he is decidedly in favor
of again taking part in the 1ntercolleg-
iates d fact which adds strength to the
present rumors.
Georgetown was suspended from the
association three years ago for failing
to make entry in the annual games.
The difficulty arose from a m1Sunder-
standing, and ever since it happened the
different managers at the local school
have made endeavors to regain the lost
membership. They have. however, been
severely handicapped in their efforts by
the absence of men of a class to be con-
sidered as future competitors in the
games Now that such excellent speed

King motioned quick as if to throw. and
stood still. Walker first started back
toward second. but when he saw that
King didn't throw he slowed down.
Brinker, walking back to his place at
short. said to Walker, Wed have gotten
you that time, old boy, if King had

he knew how it was done he was out
OF course you couldn't work that on a
real live player, but we won the game
on that play because the next batter
drove out long single on which Walker
could have scored. Looking at it one
way. it was won in the dressing room,
because that's where we fixed up the
scheme
1T pays to keep thinking about the
game all the time, doesn't to- COM
mented Larke.
That brought up the other story of an
other game with Biltmore University a
couple of years ago, which Lowell lost,
and Everson had to tell that too.
Il wasn't there said Everson, be
cause 1T was two years ago, which was
before my time, and there was a whole
lot of luck about it, too, but it was this
way: There were three on bases and
Merry, our mighty slugger at bat with
two out. Score was 3 to against us
and it was the first half of the ninth,
too Merry hit the first ball pitched for
homer over the right field fence. and
four runs would have scored, only for
little Willie Keefer, right fielder for
Biltmore, who was playing well out
toward the fence. The grounds were
down by the railroad and right field Was
sloped at an angle Of CD degrees. being
straight on the outside and covered with
signs. Willie started with the crack of
the bat, leaped upon the slope of the
fence and started to run along it, going
higher and higher and just as the ball
was going over his head. straight as a
bullet, he put UP his right hand and
caught the ball fairly Then Willie went
over the fence with the ball in his mitt
rolling over in the dirt. Willie climbed
back over the fence, and the runs didn't
count because. while the umpire couldn't
see it plainly. our fellows in the right
bleachers could see Willie all the time,
and they were of course square enough
to say that the ball was fairly caught
even if it, did lose the game for U.S."
And so they talked and talked until
long after time to be in bed. and told
clubs of the past, the great pitchers,
the catchers and the fielders, and the
fellows called it the first meeting of the
Hot Stove League of Lowell University.

part OF February. by which time the

BOWLING BATTLES.
HE PANS, DUCKPIN LEAGUE.

FOR OPENING DAY

There will be no more disappointment
or worrying over the private boxes at
American League Park on the opening
day of the season. The Athletics play
the Nationals on the opening day this
season, and there has been such great
demand for boxes that the management
has decided to auction them off to the
highest bidder.
In seasons past Business Manager Fow-
Ter has had his own troubles in distribut-
ing the boxes on the opening day. many
being disappointed, as there were not
enough to go around.
Just when and where the auction will
be held has not been decided. but proper
notification to the local enthusiasts will
be given. Several organizations have

so far have displayed that they are
adopts at the handling of the bat, and
for this reason there seems to be little
foundation in the ruIpor that Georgetown
will be weak on the offensive this year.
In fact the only place where there is at
present any chance of lack of strength
is in the pitchers box. and even here the
conditions are now much more encourag-
ing than they were in the beginning of
the year.
To begin with, Balzer acquitted himself
with great distinction against many OF
the largest of the eastern colleges last
season. During the summer he also
played excellent ball in the local amateur
league circles. while since reporting at
Georgetown Field he has seemed to be I'm
the best of shape, and he declares him
self that at present he is in far better
trim than he ever was last year. With

knowledged corners backing him up in
the persons of Gray. O'Connor, Wymard

Sunshine Appreciated.

There was some joy in the camp of the
Nationals yesterday morning, because the
day broke with scarcely cloud in the
sky and an hour so later old Sol was
shining out in all his brilliancy. 1t was
the nrst time that any of the bunch had
seen the sun since last Thursday. and it
was a Welcome sight. In fact Germany"
SchaeTer had the boys up early to look at
the great dissemination of light. because
he was afraid the spectacle would not
last long Even McAleer forgave the
Dutchman for arousing him from pro-
found slunfber.
Really, though, it was an unexpected
awakening. When the boys sought their
coucbes Saturday night it was about as
biustry as II could possibly be, and
binding snow was pilins itself upon the
streets and housetops. Visions of two
foot snow in the morning were about what
passed through the heads of every one of
the squad some time during the night,
and when il was announced that the sun
was shining and that the temperature
was going up" the news was of the kind
that made everybody dubious until he
saw for himself.

FOR THE
OPENING BALL GAME
Georgetown Begins Last
Week of Training With
Stiff Workout.

Under the guidance of Capt. Murphy the
Blue and Gray balltossers yesterday
went through the stiffest workout of
the season, celebrating the Inauguration
of their last week of practice before the
opening of the campaign by a snappy
scrub contest between eelected mines. As
the coach was not present no attempt
was made to put any of the men to-
gether as they will line up against the
Maryland Aggies Saturday, although it
was possible to get line on the relative
abilities of many of the candidates.
The work was closely watched by a
large assemblage of fans. and the gen.
eral impression made was that if the
pitchers prove to be of caliber equal
to those of last year the nine will De
every bit as strong as the teams of the
past five seasons
The backstop job, first base, third base
and TWO positions of the outfield are the
only places for which it is possible to
PICK the player with degree of GER
tainty. Menefee. the ex-Central High
star, is sure to start the game Saturday
behind the bat. His work so far has
been of an exceedingly high class, and,
although he has been pretty hard pressed
in the race by Waldron and Nolan, his
experience has stood him in good stead,
that he is the logical successor to the no.
sition formerly held by Duffy.
Bunny Feenan. the reserve catcher
last year, has proven that he is capable
of guarding the first sack, and from
now on will very likely be seen con-
stantly on duty at that corner of the
field. Feenan is big lad, weighing
nearly 300 pounds, and standing over
six feet in height, SO that he will prove
an easy goal at which the infielders NAV
throw. He displayed that he has lots

has shown in practice he will fill in

There is every reason to believe that

retain his place on third base, although
he still. has to scrap for it against Cogan

is a strong factor in his favor while

himself in every emergency.
The two positions in the outfield which
are practically settled are in the left and

be seen behind the second corner. while

pinch hitter of the Georgetown squad last
year, will have little trouble holding his
own in the busy court.
