war of the managers in rounding up

prospects for a good team are considered
the brightest in the league, but there is
pronounced fear all over the circuit that

DEMPSEY ON OLD JOB.
Georgetown Rowing Practice Starts
This Morning.

With the first professional rowing coach
that was ever at Georgetown and with
prospects for taking the Poughkeepsie
trip brighter than they have been for
years, the cand dates for the Blue and
Gray school will start training the
rowing machines in Ryan gymnasium at
10 O'Clock this morning. II is expected
that fully forty men will be out for the
varsity and prep crews, while more are
certain to put in an appearance at the
end of the examination period.
Manager ByrneS has been hard at work
durn the past week looking up likely
material, and as n result he has UNI
ear,hed a number of good men from the
law school who should prove strong adj
ditions to the squad. Prominent of these
are Daniels, Mcneil, Brunson. McFarlane
and Bee kman. Daniels rowed last sum-
mer on the Analostans. Mcneil and Brun-
son are new men at the game. but have
the advantage of being big, and McFar-
lane and Beckmau are old members of the
foot ball team. In addition to these
number of old Potomac oarsmen are ex-
pected to be on hand, all of whom d. G
attending one of the DOWNTOWN depart
ments. Those in this class that have been
mentioned so far are Coultry. Corcoran.
Richardson and Pearce.
The candidates from the college will be
drawn from among those who have row.
ed on the versties OF past years or on
class crews. The list remains substantially
the same as the one given in these coll
umns during the past week. The college
men will form the nucleus for the class
Fights, while the men from the profess
onal schools will be CLASSIFIED according
40 parallel standings. 1t is the intention
of Coach Dempsey to form the class
crews as soon as possible in order to
mold the annual regatta before Easter.
Not only will this make an early cut

chance to rest during the Easter holidays,
after which varsity work will begin in

and glance at his swat record makes

Last season he hit over the 300 mark
in the coast league. and. considering tho
excellent class of pitchers in that organ
cation, it looks very much as if johnson
would be able to do a few things wita
the American League beavers.
There is not chance in the world for
Austin TO go back to the minors how
ever. even If johnson happens TO beat him
out for the regular third base job, and
that feat is indeed a doubtful one Man.
ager Stallinss of the New York team
likes the Cleveland boy very much, and
he is sure to be retained for utility roles
if no place can be found for him on the
regular team.
Stallings likes players who have plenty
of pepper. and last year Austin supplied
just about all the tobasco for the New
York team. No matter what the score
was. no matter how poorly or how We'll
he may have been playing, Austin was
always making some noise that sounded

is a good man to use on the bases as

speed.

CHICAGO BASE BALL
CENTER OF COUNTRY

So rapidly has Chicago developed into
the leading base ball center of the world
In the last ten years that il Is not at
all unlikely that that city will become
the headquarters of every important
league in the country within the next
decade. In the closing years of the nine
teenth century Chicago could boast of
being the official home OF only one base
ball circuit, and that of minor caliber.
With that exception its base ball colony
consisted of the few players who made
the city their dwelling place during the
winter. This year Chicago will be head
quarters for one of the two major
leagues the American, and for three of
the larger minors, the American Associa-
ton and the Western and Three-Eye
Leagues. The Importance of this is in
creased by the fact that the one ma or
league center1ng here probably did more
business in the amusement way last year
than all the few leagues in the country
did dozen years ago, and that the
American Association probably catered
to more people that Il major league could
even hope to see enter its gates fifteen
years ago. That is the measure of the
gTowti. of base ball, both as IA business
and as a sport. in i few Years. With
the exception of the winter meeting OF
the American League. which is held in
New York. the four leagues maintaining
offices in Chicago transact practically all
their official business from this city and
hold their meetings here. In addition to
that the National Association of Profess
sional Base Ball Leagues. which is the
official title of the big body of thirty odd
minor leagues, has decided to return to
Chicago for it's annual meetings after a
one-year trial Of smaller quarters. Chi
cago also has q city league OF its own.
conducted on the lines of organized base
ball, and quantity of semi-pro and anna
teur independent teams which would re-
quire the services of a federal census
bureau TO enumerate accurately. Against
this showing that of New York. the sec
ond base ball city Of the world, is slen-
der, indeed. 1t is the headquarters of
one major league, the National, and one
minor, the Eastern. The American
League holds one of it's annual meetings
in Manhattan and the other in Chicago.
Last year the National followed the same
policy, but this year decided to hold both
its meetings in Gotham. Perhaps it will
not be long before not only all American
League meetings. but also both National
League gatherings, will be called in the
real base ball center of the universe,
thereby keeping abreast of the citys
growth as d financial and business cen
ter. Looks like happy new decade for
Chicago in all its branches.
