a small satchel, which he set down
upon the floor beside the chair which
the lawyer placed for him. HIS cloth

AWYER GOoCH bestowed
his undivided attention
upon the engrossing arts of
his profession. But one
fight of fancy did he allow
his mind to entertain. He
was fond of likening his
suite of rooms to the bot
tom of a ship. The rooms
were three in number
with a door opening from
one to another. These
doors could also be closed.

TWO HORSE SHOWS
DATED FOX SPRING
Washington Driving and Rid
ing Clubs Arranging
Big Exhibits.

Horse lovers will have a double chance
to see thoroughbreds in action, accord
ing to the plans of the Washington
Driving Club.
The club will give an exhibition on
even more elaborate plans than the pre-
vious show, which was held in January.
March II has been selected by the COM
mittee in charge as the date and the
place will be at the club quarters at
Twenty-second and P streets north
west.
Horses from New York. Virginia,
Maryland, and the District are entered,
and the list and its quality promise sue
cessful show. Among the entries in the
jumps are the thoroughbreds of fClarence
Moore, Col. George Dunn, Major Henry
T. Allen, Capt, H. n. Cootes, and Capt.
c. D. Rhodes. Horses from Fort Henry
that were expected to show will not be
able to do so because of the movement
of the troops to the Mexican border.
At a meeting of the Riding Club Of
ficials yesterday, over which Major
open show which will be held here on
May 4, 5, and 6, were made and active
operations begun for the affair. The
block divided by Seventeenth, Eight
eenth, B and c streets northwest was
chosen as the site for the big show. 1t
is expected that contracts for erecting
the building will be let within a Jew
days, and today a gang is on the scene
grading the grounds. A guarantee find
is now on hand to finance the equine
show and the details will quickly be
rom Melted. -

CAPITAL BOWLERS
SEEKING 1918 MEET
Show Preference for A. B. G..
At Conference Held
Last Night.

The Chamber of Commerce and the
Washington City Bowling Association
will mage every effort to obtain the
American Bowling Congress for this
city in 1913. The original plan was to
bring the National Bowling Association
meet here next year If possiblt, but the
local bowlers are more anxious to af-
filiate with the American Bowling Con-
gress, as made evident at the meeting
held last night at the Palace alleys.
The officers, executive council and the
representatives of twenty teams at
tended and the great majority voted for
the holding of the A. B. c. here in 1915.
According to present plans the meet.
If secured for this city, will be held
the week after Inauguration, and as the
A. B. G. is largely attended by West
ern bowlers, the reduced railroad fare
would be expected to help swell the en-
try list. o.,
While the Chamber of Commerce was
more anxious at the start to attempt
bringing the n. B. A. to the city, upon
the defeat of this plan by the Wash
ington- City Bowling association, the
civic body will now work in conjunction
with the bowlers in attracting the A. B.
c. for 1913.
An executive committee consisting of
Pop" Meyers, F. Scharf, and CA.
Hartman, was appointed to formulate
plans for the campaign.

High School Fans Are
Fearful of FUNK Rule

The high school baseball followers
are looking toward March II with a
great deal of apprehension. for 1t is
then that the advisory marks will be
recorded which may mean everything
for the teams.
Yearly the funk rule reaps a har-
vest Of players and each team is han
dicapped by the failure of one or more
star players. This year. while little
outdoor work has been carried on, the
coaches and followers OF the teams
have seen to It that plenty of mate
rial is being developed in case the
dreaded reaper takes star players
away.
In the past no team has gotten off
lightly, and at the present time Cen
trail and Tech are living in the hopes
that several stars may satisfy their
teachers with the requirements. Both
schools have had a number of men
out Of the running. Central has lost
several good men for track during the
winter and Western suffered for a
while.

Olympia Officials Also tc
Settle on Grounds and

A meeting of the Olympia League
has been called for next Thursday night
at the office of Zed Copp, in Fourteenth
street, when the proposition Of two
sections will be settled,
Three sites for grounds were consid-
cred, and the committee on the matter
was ordered to investigate the needed
improvements Of each lot, and the cost.
The sites are located at Sixteenth street
and Columbia road northwest; Thir-
teenth street and Spring road north

Twentieth street northwest. The grounds
at Sixteenth street and Columbia road
are most favored, and an option will be
obtained as soon as possible.

Needs outdoor work.

If Georgetown Is to break this chain
of successive defeats which Virginia Is
annually linking around the Blue and
Gray in field and track. 1t begins TO
appear as though some attention will
have to be devoted to outdoor training
on the Hill Top.
BY trying to develop a team between
Christmas and the annual indoor meet
at Convention Hall, Georgetown Is at
tempting to accomplish in eight weeks
what Virginia does in eight months,
Considering the difference In the time
of preparation, 1t is not surprising that
the Orange and Blue is usually on top
after any meeting on the track Of the

encouragement of apparently mediocre
material, more general participation in
outdoor games, and a couple of annual
dual meets would put Georgetown at
least on a par in track athletics with
the men from Charlottesville. -,-

Cantillon in lead.

By taking his Minneapolis players to
his ranch at Hickman. KY, for several
weeks hard work, preparatory to the
beginning of the regular season, our
old friend, Joe Cantillon. is getting a
flying start on all other rivals in the
American Association.
Cantillon does not expect to teach his
charges a whole lot of baseball in the
wilds of the Blue Grass State, but he
believes II he can get every man into
prime physical condition, he will have
decided advantage over the rest OF
the clubs. Minneapolis won the cham
