NEW YORK, February 22.-Local ex-

An erstwhile champion was quickly

G. NJ Heckscher in another four-game
match, the first named playing with head

from the meeting of Douglas and Erskine

struck one of his brilliant streaks and
completely overwhelmed his opponent.

The above letter Is self-explanatory.
The Blue and Gray prep goal-tossers. by
vanquishing the Eastern High School five
at Ryan Gymnasium yesterday afternoon
established a substantial claim to the
schoolboy basket ball championship OF
the District. True. they will have 10
meet Eastern again this winter. but this
battle should not prove difficult. judging
from yesterdays exhibition.
The only team that disputes the preps'
claim to the title is the speedy auint of
Cathedral School. This aggregation has
been putting up a good article of the in
door sport all winter, and has some right
to the honor. The right, though. is de-
pendent on it's willingness to meet the
Hilltoppers, in which case the winners OF
the match would have the clearest kind
of possession of the coveted glory.
The challenge of Manager McInerney
savors Of fairness throughout, and If 1t
is not accepted there seems little doubt
that the championship must be conceded
his team. He is willing to have the dis
pute settled either by one contest or a
series of three games. and agrees THAT all
be played on a neutral moor.
The selection of neutral floor should
not be a difficult matter, as the Arcade
can be obtained with very little trouble.
This would make an ideal setung for
such a battle as would come off If the
Cathedral quint meets the props. and at
the same time the holding OF the en-
counters there would work to the finan-
cial benefit of the two teams playing. 1t
is hoped that the Cathedral School team
will see the fairness of the props ulti-
matum. and will answer it by imme-
diately opening negotiations for either
one or series of matches to decide this
dispute. in which every schoolboy athlete
of the District is more or less interested.
With the Blue and Gray indoor meet
but a little more than a week off, the
students at the university are beginning
to wonder who will run on the relay team
that is to strive against Virginia. This
race is the banner event each year at the
local games, and always holds the head
line position. The Hilltoppers have not
carried off the honors in 1T since 1907.
when O'Boyle and Rector had their tussle
on the last lap. Although no definite
announcement to the effect has as yet
been made. the general belief is that the
Blue and Gray four which ran al Boston
will be retained intact for competing
against the Orange and Blue.

CITY COLLEGE EASY
FOR BLUE AND GRAY
Georgetown Has Easy Time
Running Up Big Score on
Baltimore Five.

For the first fifteen minutes of the bas-
ket ball game last night between the
Baltimore City College and Georgetown
University it seemed that the former
team would be q strong contender for
first honors, but just the contrary proved
to be the case, and the Hilltoppers had
little trouble running up so point sto the
Marylanders' 81.
During the early part of the first half
there was every reason to believe that a
close contest would be the result of the
! meeting, the Blue and Gray team play
ing as though it had nothing at stake,
while the Baltimore quint started off with
a dash which BODIED i'll for the local
crew, but the squirt was sfort-lived and
/ after the first fifteen minutes Of play
Georgetown began to toss goals In rapid
succession. The score at the end of the
first period was ~ to 10. rive minutes
before the call Of time at the end of the
second half the same number Of points
had been scored by each team. 10.
The whole of the second half was a
walkaway for Georgetown. the Balti-
moreans being unable to make anything
that looked like good showing against
their older rivals. Twenty-six points to
eleven was the result of the efforts or
the two quints during the second period.
Georgetown's passing was about the best
,
accuracy, and its guarding was SO good
that it was impossible for the opposing
five to get many chances to try for the
basket. .
Monarch, BarriscelIo and Schlosser all
did good work for Georgetown, While
Peters and Pippen showed best for the
City College. All three Of the Hilitoppers
were at their best, with the exception OF
Schlosser, who suffered considerably with
a bad shoulder.
The dribbling of the City College hve
was superior to that OF Georgetown
about the only department in which II
showed to an advantage against the Blue
and Gray aggregation. The colleglans
passed and handled the ball fairly well,
but it VS. simply a case of being great!
outclassed-a prep school against UNI

the older and heavier aggregation, ana

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, February D.
The zero weather of the past two days
has kept the players sitting about the
town wrapped in sweaters and Jogging
along at lively clip. The sun was
bright and the air invigorating, Just the
kind of weather for the kind of training
the Washington ball tossers are doing.
Walter johnson expressed his approval
of light training when he was told that
Bill Dahlen, Trainer Comfort and several
Brooklyn players had come today and
were going to get into uniforms tomor-
row.
Il believe the fellow makes mistake
to start in too early for training. OF
course. every ball player don't need the
fat it is all right to take it Ola before
regular hard practice begins. But if a
fellows legs are strong and his arm is
good. it don't hurt him much to have
some excess weight. He can easily take
this off early in the season. There's no
use in being in form a month before the
season starts. Now there is Tom
Hughes: The way he worked at the
game Saturday and the way he turned
the balls loose shows that he is away
ahead of time as far as being in shape is
concerned. He could get in top notch
condition in ten days. He's got all kinds
of speed right now and no weight to take
off. | don't see what Tom wants to be-
gin training for at all now. | believe the
best thing to do-and that is what | am
going to do-is to go out over these
mountains and walk as much as can.
There is not anything l can do better
than that. Here is what I did last year.

previous winter. not much hard work.

Walter Johnson is one of them, and
George Davis is another Davis was a
sensational outfielder. vet he never had
any organized base ball experience until
he joined Cleveland in 1890 AS a rule
even the fast youngsters of promise need
a few years in minor league TO develop
them. Nevertheless. every club is
always willing to take chance on these
youngsters. In the first place. it costs
nothing to sign them and their salaries
are usually so low that club can afford
to carry them for couple of years in
the hope of developing them.
According to the Detroit News Kid
Elberfeld has applied to BAN Johnson for
berth on his umpire stan when his
playing days are over. Here is the story:
Kid Elberfeld has decided that the
job of an umpire is the job for him. Mr.,
Elberfeld wants to join the prosecuted
squad.
For years American Leaguers have
seen the "Tobasco Kid step on the toes
of umpires, thrust his spiked boots into
their shins and speak to them in tones
not the least bit pleasant.
But Elberfeld is in earnest about be-
coming an umpire when his playing days
are over He has made application to
Ban b. Johnson for a position and Ban,
it is understood. has given Elberfeld his
promise to give the matter his careful
consideration.
1t would be funny to see Elberfeld
paired off with the picturesque SILK
O'LouGhlin. These two could never agree
on anything as player and umpire and
Mr.. Elberfeld would probably be highly
DESTROYS of reversing any decision that
Mr.. O'Loughlin might see fit to make.
and vice versa. Anyway, if Mr.. Elberfeld
receives the appointment there will be
some of those hot times in the league
that historians relate with much relish.

While the announcement that Boston

was looked upon as a joke. vet it is given
out that it is John I. Taylor's intention
to try this experiment. 1t seems certain
that II Speaker is put on first he

there is no one who can take Speaker s

Another outfieIder has been added to the
Nationals string of eight. His name is
Andrew Keef and he halls from Cleve-

before, but there have been any number
of managers trying to secure him.
keef is Bill Bradleys protege. Every
one interested in base ball knows Brad
ley, once the famous third baseman of the
Cleveland team. who is to play with To-
ronto next season. Bill lives in Cleveland,
and he has seen enough of keef to con-
vince him that he has the making of a

Being a great friend Of McAleer's, Brad
ley wrote the Nationals leader about
Keef, with the result that he will be taken
south with the rest of the squad March 4.

JOCKEY KILLED.
Charley Fair Tossed Against Post
in South America.

NEW YORK, February 22.-Sidney
Dickson. a Jockey, has just arrived here
from South America with news of the re-
cent death of Jockey Charley Fair, an
other American; as a result of injuries
received in race. Dickson says that
Fair accepted the mount on a VIGOROUSLY
bad actor owned by Henry HUM. a for
mer gentleman rider in this country, and
that when the horse reached the head of
the home stretch he suddenly took the
bit in his teeth and bore out to the fence
rails. A sharp collision resulted. and Fair
was hurled over the animals head. The
boy struck a post head on.
