WRESTLER MACKEY
ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
Washington Man to Meet
Frank Lynch, of Balti-
more Here.

Rob Roy Mackey, Washington's welter-
weight wrestler. has accepted the Chal-
lenGc of Frank Lynch, Of Baltimore, to
handicap match to take place early
next month in this city or in Baltimore.
Lynch, who claims the middleweight
championship of the South, offers to
gain two falls in an hour or forfeit his
share of the purse. He is the training
partner of the heavyweight AmeriCus
and is in shape for the bout.
This match, II staged at the scheduled
time. will be a bout of more than pass
ing interest to followers of the mat
game here, as 1t will enable them to get
a line on Mackey's chances in his COM
ing bout with Joe Turner, as the lat
ter was thrown by Lynch in a straight
match at Baltimore last year. Mackey
is confident that he will be able TO stay
off his heavier Baltimore opponent for
an hour and has commenced serious
training for the bout.
The exact time and place OF the bout
will he decided soon. 1t is likely that
it will take place the first week in
March. ,

Fletcher's Third League
Has Gone Glimmering

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-When Jack
Knights optional contract with y. A.
Fletcher expired at midnight Friday he
sat down and signed contract wit1 the
Yankees for three years.
Baseball players all over the country
who were tempted into Fletcher's third
league bubble will probably follow suit,
and now that the date for the launch
ing Of this big scheme is passed,
Fletcher will be heard of no more.
His baseball dream was a gigantic af-
fair. He asserted that he had corraIled
ninety Of the best players in the Ma
tOnal and American Leagues, and held
them under optional contracts until
February ~. He was to buy all these
stars with a bonus of $4,000 for each
player who was also to get a salary
equal to that he received last year
Then the great third league was to be
formed. New baseball plants were to
spring up in various big league cities

leagues were to 1Otter tor a while, and
then fade away. FletCher'S scheme was
weird, but ii didn't work
The baseball dreamer is now supposed
TO be in Toledo, Ohio, his home town.
lie suddenly disappeared after the Ma
uonal Commission put a Crimp in his
transforming scheme of two all-star
teams last fall, which was to be a fore
runner of the third league. He was 60

York, and start things booming right
away. He didn't even reach town.

determination to rid the Highlanders Of
all those players who sided with for

As Austin is generally considered one
Of the most promising young players in
the American League, and Laportes big

Western Golf Winners

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-The new board
of directors of the Western Golf AS

ity of hereafter distributing all the
cash prizes put up in the open cham-

As for the amateurs fortunate

instead of the equivalent in plate. .
It has BEEN urged that as the great

Handsome Cars Have Been
Shipped Here BY Manu-
facturerS.
By HARRY WARD.

Washington deVotees of the automo-
bile may prepare for a big surprise
when they visit the annual exhibition
which opens tonight in Convention Hall.
The decorations indicate a general
beauty that will far outshine anything
Of the kind ever attempted in this sec
tion of the country. But it is not only
in attraCtiveness of the decorations and
lighting effects that the show will offer
pleasing objects to the eye. Months of
correspondence on the part of the deal
ers and careful studying of the territory
by factory representatives have con-
WINGED the manufacturers that it be-
hooves them to send their best produc-
tions to the Washington show if they
desire to get the results to which they
are justly entitled.
Hundred Models.
More than one hundred different mod
els, ranging from racy little roadsters
10 the big seven-passenger touring cars
and limouslnes have been installed in

show will be on. Beginning tomorrow,
the show will be opened each day at
II o'clock, and will close at II at night.
Overland Wind Wagon.
The Overland wind wagon is expected
to attract much attention at the show.
It forms an interesting part of the ex-
hibit Of he Overland Washington Motor
Company. In the rear of the big ma
chine is a giant propeller, which re-
wolves with great rapidity when the
machine is in motion, and adds to the
speed of the car.
Automobile dealers from many towns
In Maryland and Virginia are expected
to visit the show during the week.

II is doubtful if there was ever a

following as have the New York Giants
in the past few weeks.
AS the opening of the season grows
near experts in every section are con-
ceding McGraw's club an excellent
chance to capture the pennant in the
National League. The Chicago Cubs
are still the favorites, but the Giants
have risen in the esteem of fans to
such a position that betting between
these two pennant aspirants will prob
ably be even money by the time the
gong rings.
McGraw has strengthened his team

Princeton schedule heavy.

That football schedule for the Prince

Sunday afternoon Times. will certainly
be a severe test on the Tigers next
fall.
In addition to six other games, Prince
ton will tackle Yale, Harvard, Dart
mouth, and Navy, and. unless | miss
my guess, these contests will be TOO
heavy for the team to endure.
The coaching situation in the New
Jersey town is still in a most unset

learned from alumni and others close
to athletic affairs at Princeton.

OUTF|ELD BATTERS
Of 800 CLASS FEW
Interesting Baseball History
and Comparative Figures
Recalled.

CLEVELAND, Feb. ia 800 batting
outfield is indeed a rarity in baseball.
1t is one of those things Jhat big league
managers dream about Seldom are
their dreams realized. Detroit fans
know what an outffeld that can bat 800
looks like, as Ty Cobb and Sam Craw-
ford have always managed to carry the
third man along.
Cleveland fandom of a decade back
can recall how the Maps fly Chasers
Dombarded the offerings of all pitchers
far and wide and pulled down hefty
averages. In 1891, Congalton, Flick and
Bay travelled at a fast pace. Those were
glorious days. The fans love to hear
the music of the bat coming in contact
with the ball. With Joe Jackson and
Ted EasterIy in the outfield the coming
season those fair old, rare old days may
be with US once again.
Way back in 1901, when the American
League was still in it's infancy" EIar-
vey Mccarthy, Pickering and O'Brien
made up Cleveland's outfield. They
garnered averages of $50, .3l4, .30S and
