Wonder if that Georgetown basket
ball team ever will get started?
Robert MarmiOn, the football player
who was injured in Baltimore Thanks
giving Day. dropped around at the Of
flee last night looking none the worse
for wear. Marmion says the accident
was unavoidable, and declares that no
blame should be attached to opposing
players.
Hickey sure can polish off the worries.
He cleaned up seven opponents in an
1S2 balk line tourney which closed at
Frank Sherman's Royal Parlors last
night
Speaking of billiards. ex-Manager
Crosby. of the Georgetown baseball
team, is quite a devotee of the indoor
game. He made a run of three one
night last week.
And now they tell US that Jake Stahl
is Ineligible to play with the Boston Red
SON because he voluntarily CEit at the
close of the 1910 season and refused to
report last spring. Five space stuff dur
ing the dull season, but you can bet every
nickel you've got that Same Old" Jake
will be returned to the ranks in good
standing if he really wants to play next
year.
1t has just been learned that Manager
Clark Griffith is one of the best pinochle
players in the country. This should
make a great hit with our leading Ger
man rOOterS.
Germany Schaefer may play right field,
is the latest report. No reason why he
should not. It's a cinch he will be on
the team somewhere if he hits the pill
at ;he 600 clip he showed last season
Where did Fritz Reuter- so the night
after the Central-Tech game?
Central High Schools football eleven
will elect a captain for next Year Friday
night. Half a dozen men are eligible,
but from where we sit ii looks as il
Sylvan King. the all-high school tackle,
will be the unanimous choice. King
should make a tirst-class leader
The Chicago White Sox could use
George StOvalI on first base all right.
but COmiskey would probably find it
mighty hard to get the big fellow away
from Cleveland.
Just to make life pleasant for the Iyno-
type settlers. the Commercial Duckpin
League has enrolled on two of its teams
such men as Vogelsberger and Heinzman
Muldoon's Pickanniny says he ''afn't no
white mans hope" He aspires to play
substitute shOrtstop on the Vigilants
football team.
Glad to hear that Johnny and Pat
O'Connor have Joined forces 1t takes
better than three of a kind to beat this |
pair.
A message from the dead-Joe Turner
IS working in Worcester. Mass.
Gonzago Props are planning to put
strong baseball nine in IT, field next
spring.
