association. Such board has been con-
templated for some time, and late events
have shown that a necessary ad-
junct of Georgetown is to rehabilitate
herself as an athletic power in the south
and east.
In the meantime greater discipline will
be eXacted from all the teams. and by
the end of the present year q permanent
coaching system will be secured. Demp-
sey and Foley are both certain to be re-
tanned, while there Is a great probability
that Kings success with the base ball
nine will mean that he will be retained
next season as coach of. both foot ball
and base ball. This trio practically COM
poses the three men most instrumental
in putting athletics at the local school
on a high plane, and there is little doubt
that they will he able to do much toward
making every team successful next year.
That there is still great leeway for the
base ball men to retrieve their losses will
be plain when 1t is seen that while six
been played. there are still eighteen yet
to come off. OF those already played.
Georgetown has won five, tied one and
lost ten. Three of the teams which
have defeated her are to be met again.
these being Virginia, Catholic University
and F'ordham, the last nine being on the
cards for two games. Almost all of the
southern contests are yet to be played.
while Harvard and Vermont are among
the northern schools which are still on
the schedule. AS Georgetown broke even
defeated Ursinus good showing In the
games yet to be played will mean great
deal toward balancing up the years

johnson fight, denies the right Of Senator
Tim Sullivan to pay over any money

that this is provision of the contract.
When shown the New York dispatch
that the money had been paid by Senator
Sullivan to DR.. Coakley, Richard said:
''If Sullivan paid out any money from
that forfeit he did 50 upon his own re-
sponsihility and without any sanction
from me or from my partner. If the
money is not there when We call for 1t he
will have to make good. Sullivan was in

afterward ordered the case reopened and
sent back to trial. Sullivan was informed
of these proceedings.

PACIFIC COAST TO

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 1S.-S. NJ.
Butler, chairman Of the National Auto
mobile contest board, left last night for
San Francisco and Portland, Ore. Before
his departure he announced plans for es-
tablishing a Pacific coast circuit that will
be big figure in national automobile at

harmonized the automobile dealers, max
ers. racers end the motordrome promoters

affairs regulated I'm accordance with the
national rules.
II know from word 1 have received from
both the northern cities that everything
is ready for me- My work there will be
simply a matter of settling details. This
Pacific coast circuit means a great deal
not only for the west. but for the east
also.
I'VE will send racers from the east here
to compete during the winter months
when there are no contests on the tracks
in the east. and in time we will have the
country so covered that there will be

The opening of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal between Georgetown and Cumber-
land, Md. and the arrival of coal-laden
barges from the Cumberland mines will
cause the resumption Of shipments of coal
to Boston, Lynn, Portland and other
points. and during this week the first

Barge No. 10, which will inaugurate the
season, 10 at Point Lookout and the tug

ton Company fleet will be here to load.
During the course OF the season many
hundred thousand tons of coal are sent

there was no competition for the cap
taincy.
The rise and downfall OF a ball player
consumes but few years. Three sea-
sons ago Ralph Socks" Seybold was the
star outfielder of the Athletics and was
terror to all American League pitchers.
Socks is now player-manager of the
Jeannette. Pa. independent team. Sey-
bold had a chance to make good in the
American Association last year, when he
managed the Toledo club. but he fell
down both as leader and player.
The Tigers chances for fourth pen
nant are calculated to have diminished
by . per cent because of the enlarge
ment of the left field stand at Detroit.
The seats extend forty feet into the
playing field, where Mcintyre and Jones
have caught many long flies. The Tigers.
mostly left-handed sluggers, seldom hit
the ball in that direction. The new
bleachers may result in many homers for
visiting players.
We haven't heard much lately as to
what Willie Keller intended to do this
season. The Brooklyn landowner refuses
to wind up his career in the minor
leagues and has turned down a hand
some offer from Joe Kelley to play with
the Toronto club of the Eastern League.
Keller will work out with the New York
Giants during the week. and If he thinks
that he is still capable of putting up a
good article of ball he will probably
sign with McGraw.

left field position.
President Comiskey of the White Sox
has asked Ban Johnson to have the date
of the opening of his new ball park
changed from July to June 30. Comis-
key says that as July falls on a Friday
he wishes to avoid the hoodoo and open
a day ahead.
Howard Camnitz, the crack pitcher Of
the Pirates, is now regarded as the best
twirler in the league for the opening
game. Two years ago Howard trimmed
the Cardinals in the first game of the
season. Last year the Reds were the
victims, and last Thursday Bresnahans
Cardinals were again the lambs.
The two Boston teams this year are
composed nearly entirely Of players we'll

the progress Of the country-who still
regard with more or less contempt
the accurate and specific facts devel-

The greatest hindrance to more

the greatest obstacle to obtaining

necessity for doing much more in the
next decade.

The Shameful Neglect Of Our School
Houses.

portance on some things which teach
ers and school patrons seem. In many
cases. to consider of little moment.
A child reared In home devoid OF
comforts and where cleanliness and
modern sanitation have little exem-
plification must receive the desire
and ambition for better things from
some other source. and even the
knowledge OF the existence OF better
conditions, as we'll as how to obtain
them. must come from outside in
fuences. Where is the place out
side the home best fitted for show
ing the valde OF these better things
to the child? Naturally the school
and the scho DOL house may be looked
to as the starting point for general
ing desire and building up
knowledge OF a brighter. cleaner and
better life.
We are no wise inclined to quar-
rel with any one about the school
houses OF the South. They are not
what we would like. and In some
cases better might be reasonably ex-
pected. but better school houses are
being provided probably as fast as
we can afford. A much more i'm
portant matter II seems to me Is the
manner In which the school houses
we already have are kept. Even an
