IRE ANXIOUS FOR
VIRGINIA CAME
Hilltopers are Sore Over Report
That Virginia VIII Play
Carlisle Indians.
GEORGETOWN oUTCLASSED
Virginia Would Prefer Playing
Such Teams as Indians,
Navy and Princeton.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22,-Prorni-
nent Georgetown alumni and under
graduates expressed themselves freely
yesterday on the subject Of the pro-
posed action by the University of vir-
ginia In cutting out the annual foot
4 bah game here with the Hilltoppera
next fall and substituting the Carlisle
Indians.
The story seems to be discredited at
the Hilltop University, and football
men refuse to believe that Virginia
will take any such action. in view of
the pleasant relations during the past
six years.
In spftH OF all this. the writer has
Investigated further and finds that the
sentiment at Virginia among the I'M
dergraduate body LIS decidedly In favor
of doing away with the annual
Georgetown game. despite the fact
that this contest has always proved
to be a big money-maker.
The Charlottesville collegians feel
that Georgetown Is hardly UP to Vir-
gtnia's standard in football and that
the eleven would gain more prestige
~ fAAsA&k ShAt sctA1lS as tAs 1II2&hHSl
Navy and Princeton.
Coach Glen Warner Saturday night
said that as far as he was concerned
the football schedule for the Indians
was a matter of dollars and cents
He believed that Carlisle would make
more money by playing Virginia here
than In a game with George Wash
ington. and that he had virtually set
tied with the Virginia management on
November 8.
From the way things look now. this
game will never be played. It's a
cinch ar Georgetown will not per-
NIT the use of their field, and George
Washington last night closed deal
with a well-known college team for a
contest at American League Park on
that date.
Nothing definite can he given out
from Georgetown until tine University
authorities decide whether or not foot
ball will be allowed next rati. and "A
decision In this matter will hardly be
rendered until after the 25th of next
month, when the football rules COM
nittec announce the changes in the
playing code.
The story. as published exclusively
in The Washington Herald, will, no
doubt, be denied from several quar-
feFs, bat NEVERTHELESS the facts ns
stated are absolutely correct and come
from 9 source that cannot be disputed.

Trembiay, of Montreal. Is still worlds
champion lightweight wrestler. and
John Biileter. of Toledo. must try
again--when he learns more about
the wrestling game. A few more OF
those Farmer Burns lessons would
have served Btiietcr We'll at the Grays
armory last night, when he lost two
straight falls to the Canadian.--
Billeter was coached to go on the
defensive for an hour ana half In
the hope that Tremblay would wear
himself out and succumb to the Ohio
man. The plan almost worked, but,
unfortunately for Billeter. while
breaking away from an ankle hold,
he rolled straight into a perfect toe
hold and grapevine.
Billeter showed gameness in COM
ing out of the second fall, for his
right hip and knee were in bad shape
from the toe hold, which came within
an ace of dislocating the hip joint.
lie went on for fear some one would
call him a gutter. despite the advice
of friends, who feared for his leg.
The first fall came in an hour and
twenty-four minutes, and the second
in eight minutes and twenty-five sec

ARREST T|PsTERs
At JACKSONVILLE
Racing Advertisers Apprehended
by Post Office Au-
thorities.
MIX UP OVER SPOILS
Politicians Will Make Claim on
Part of the Returns from
Race Meet.

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 22.--The
race track advertisers Monday and as
a result three of the best known OF
the fraternity doing business at tho
track here were arrested charged with
using the mails for improper purposes
They We're: Frank Reynolds, who did
business under the name OF Uncle Bill
Dixon, the greatest ciocker and win
ner picker in the world j. w. Irwin
and Conrad Stubenford, alias M. M.
Gay. They were held in $1,000 each
for examination later.
All advertised extensively as pur-
veyors of real turf Information right
from the feedbox and the inspectors
who made the arrests allege that they
had correspondents all over the coun-
try who paid well to receive the
guaranteed specials that sometimes
won and then again--and mostly
again-sometimes did not finish in the
money.
Racing at Moncrief Park was COM
pletely overshadowed by q plethora of
official rulings. After the running of
the second race, won ny Ben Double,
the judges sent for Jockey Howard,
who rode the heavily backed Patriot,
and suspended him for the remainder
of the meeting. Judge Murphy said
there was no positive proof of dis
honesty on the part of Howard, but
his timidity was SO apparent that he
was a detriment to the sport.
Politicians in Game.
There may be a rumpus over the
division of the spoils at the Jackson
Vile race track. 1t Is said that the
winter meeting will net 100000. and
that certain interested persons are
trying to secure a half-Nelson on the
bundle, Several Florida politicians
say II there is a game OF freeze out,
there will be no more racing in that
State. The mix-up is not surprising
to persons who have had line on the
situation at Jacksonville ever since the
present meeting was projected.
Florida Track Managers Back Down.
BeokmakeF Tom Shaw IL the only
person who has been able TO dictate
to the Jacksonville track managers.
Checkers were ordered out of the
grounds the other day. but when Shaw
threatened to take hts string Of books
TO Tampa unless the order was re-
scinded, the association backed down.

1T is particularly unfortunate, both

exception OF Norfolk and possibly
Portsmouth, as they now see the case.
While II Is stated that the chief
complaint against Travis Is that he IL

the other clubs in the league are not
disposed to trust the decision TO one

AS matter of fact, II Travis had

that he would have been cordially re-

VIII be given a trial on his merits
The return of Jack Grim to Gin
cinnau after his unsuccessful attempt
to purchase the Portsmouth club
under favorable conditions was a
severe blow TO the league as whole.
Grim Is recognized as one of the most
capable baseball generals who ever
took any part in baseball in this
state. The announcement that he
was to again be concerned in the
leagues affairs was received by both
magnatcs and fans alike as an indi-
cation of good baseball and a pros
porous season for 1910. That he did
not find things to his liking and re-
fused to take over the Portsmouth
club is a source of much regret to
all who are interested in the welfare
of the league.
The cause of Grim's refusal to en-
terrain the proposition as he found 1t
upon his arrival here was that he was
not willing to become interested in
the team In the capacity of owner
only. The present owners had paid
what Grim considered exhorbitant
prices for several players. and had
signed up with Manager Stafford.
whose contract could not be broken
during the coming season. Not wish
ing TO relieve Stafford of his services
and still pay him his salary. and not
willing to simply own the team while
Stafford managed its affairs. Grim
found that there was In the PROPOSE
ton nothing that was attractive to
him. He was much disappointed In
the outcome of his negotiations and
stated that though he had received
several other offers he would not
further concern himself with baseball
this season after his failure to be q
part of and to help govern the
destinies of the Virginia League.

White SLAVERS GET
WISCONSIN GIRLS

Appleton, Wis, April 29-The
police of half dozen cities tonight
are searching for Miss Lillian Neu-
man of Appleton, 19 years old, and
Miss Sylvia Grimes Of Columbus, O.,
II years old, and persons who are
said to be holding them captives.
The girls, who are members of good
families, were kidnapped, it is charg-
ed, from Milwaukee ten days ago by
alleged white slavers.
Detectives learned today that the
girls and their alleged captors were
at International Falls, Mimi, and
were on the way to Canada. A let
ter, bearing the name of Miss
Grimes, but written in a mans hanu-
writing, was received today from In
ternational Falls, saying that the
girls would be taken across the bor-
der into Canada at once. The den-
tity of the two men are known by
the detectives.
At Milwaukee, according to the
detectives, the party was joined by
an elderly man and gray-haired
who furnished railroad tick
cts for the pair to Duluth. Superior,
St. Paul and International Falls.
Prominent Appleton citizens are in
crested in the affair." Miss Neuman
was prominent in church work. The
news of the disappearance was sup,
pressed until today in the hope that
he girls could be located without
publicity.

Jurors elected at regular intervals
by a vote of the people, or appointed
by the courts and paid a salary OF
$4,000 or more a year, would, be-
lieve, greatly improve our jury sys-
tenn, which is a relic"
Judge E. H. Sullivan. dean of the
Spokane county superior court, said
this at the close Of a long, drawn
out case in suggesting solution OF
a problem of nation wide interest. He
added:
"The number of men in this service
could be cut down from twelve to
six or five, and the jury composed
entirely of members of the legal pro-
fession. Each county could have a
set or several sets of regular jurors
trained in the law, and, to avoid pre-
judice and bias, they would be ex-
changed in the various counties. The
other smaller regulations could be
worked out in detail by a jury COM
mission.
Under the present system we Sc
lect a jury composed of good business
men, farmers and laboring men. They
are honest and level headed as a
rule and are here to uphold the ad-
vance of our laws; but what do they
know about the real meanings or the
phases of the law? We ask Judge
who has probably spent thirty or
forty years in studying the law and
watching it's development to write in
a few hundred words the instructions,
which, in great part, is so much
Greek to the average juryman. That
part of the system is radically wrong.
Another thing is the average busi-
ness or professional man or even a
laborer who has not the time or in
clination to devote to this branch OF
service, and as a result some of the
cases presented for adjudication are
not given the attention they should
have. 1t is also true that lawyer
who is sure of his legal right and
his facts, would much rather trust
his case to Judge, while If he is
not certain, he prefers taking chances
with jury"

Led on by his attorney, Vertrees,

Spokane, Wash. April 20 (Spe-
ciaD Ralph Hunt, president of the
Blue Mountain Bachelors club of
Washington, has issued a statement
from headquarters at Dayton. an
nouncing that the organization will
cease active operations until after
harvest. as it's members are too busy
with their orchards and farms to
discuss affairs of the heart. He re-
ports also there are more than 1 900
letters on file, the writer's repre-
senting every state in the Union and
all the provinces and territories of
Canada. They are being classified
and the campaign will be resumed
early next November, when it is ex-
pected to launch the national or
ganization with branches in the
large centers of population in the
United States and Canada. The club
reports that it has been instrument
al in finding mates for a score or
more of prosperous bachelor farm
ers and orchardists during the last
four months, and so far, President
Hunt says, everybody appears to be
satisfied and pleased with the ar
rangements.
