WASHINGTON TEAM
RUNS GOOD RACE
Capital City Cross-Country
Club Crosses Tape In
Second Place.

The Washington Cross Country Club
is the recipient of manycongratulation
today because of it's excellent show in
the ten-mile run under the auspices Of
the Cross Country Club. of Baltimore.
Second team prize was the honor car
ried off by the Capital City organiza-
ton, and as the run was the first par
ticipated in by the club, its victory is
the more pronounced.
The ten-mile race was won by Harry
Elphinstone, Of Baltimore, who again
displayed his remarkable abilities in this
line by leading the field in the mud
for the greater part of the distance.
The team to win first honors was the
Baltimore Cross Country Club, which
was awarded a beautiful trophy to sig
nifty its victory.
w. H. Schofield, we'll known among
high school followers in Washington as
one Of the leading athletes at Business
High, and incidentally one OF the char
ter members Of the newly formed club,
was sixth man to breast the tape.
Runs Strong Race.
He ran a remarkably strong race from
start to finish.
Capital City was E. Beller. another ath-
lete who has participated in long dis
tance runs held in this vicinity in the
past, who finished in seventh place.
C. Holland. captain of the team
and also a member Of the Business
High School track squad of the past
two seasons, was third OF the Washing
ton men to breast the tape and eleventh
among the entire field. He entered the
park among the leaders, but WAS unable
to cope with conditions under foot.
Renner Finishes.
OF the remaining members OF the
Washington team, F. L. Renner, a
former Technical High School athlete.
finished fifteenth; H. NJ. Dickinson, 1r.,
twenty-third, and w. r. Collegian.
thirty-seventh. Charles Morgan, an
other entrant, claimed to have finished.
but through an error of the checkers
was not credited with a place.
John Bolac, a Washington boy, who
for the past year has been representing
Baltimore Cross Country Club, was the
first of the field to enter the park:
However, after making the first round
over the course he refused to continue
and forfeited what appeared to be an
excellent chance to win the race.

Save the Wrestling Game.

1t is a source of extreme gratificat ton
to followers of the sport of the mat to
see healthy revival of interest in
wrestling in all sections Of the country.
Following series of crooked
matches, wrestling degenerated until, no
matter how square a match might be,
there was always a feeling that there
had been previous understanding be-
tween the contestants. So widespread
was this suspicion that there was no
money in the game. and most of the ex-
ponents Of the sport took to other paths
to earn their kopeks.
In the past three or four years, how
ever, wrestling has been purged OF many
of its unsavory features. and it now ap-
pears as though II is entering upon an
other era of prosperity. Many of those
who were directly responsible for the
hippodroming have vanished, and the
later generation seems to be more sin
cere in its efforts in bringing back to
life the ancient and honorable sport of
graphing.
Washington has been without much
wrestling for the past couple of years,
but II now seems high time for a good
match. But by all means keep the

, with brains and class are bound to at
tain to positions of honor.
George Mcbride is not only q good
ball player, but he has good Judgment
and a personality which makes for him
friends on the field and in the stand.
The American crowd always grasps the
superior points of baseball players, and
generally sees to it that they get what
good things they have coming.
1T may not be amiss at this time to
suggests that the general tone Of base
ball participants has been raised in the
last few years, and that the day of
the bum and tough has eternally passed.
Such men as Mcbride have helped td
make the present order of things"

A review of the year 1910 by those
familiar with track and field athletics
certainly brings out these definite
facts, namely, that In this branch OF
sport there has been during the last
season more contests, keener interest
in the game, many more competitors
and infinitely cleaner competition than
in past years.
--In the South Atlantic Association
(Which Is a branch of the Amateur
Athletic Union. governing athletically
the States of Maryland. District OF
Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia,
North and South Carolina) the
achievements in and results of track
and field competition for 1910 have
been notable, while more interest has
been taken in this sport than ever be-
fore.
Track Seasons Good Start.
The track athletic season for 1910 in
the South Atlantic Association was
most auspiciously opened on the very
first day of the year by two important
athletic events, namely, the ten-mile
cross-country run Of the Washington
Young Mems ChCistian Association, in
Baltimore man, and the ten-mile as
phalt Marathon of the Baltimore
Cross-Country Club, the first event Of
its kind ever held In Baltimore.
Then followed in rapid succession the
big indoor meets, namely, the George
Washington University games of Feb
ruary Il, the Federal games of February
is. and the Georgetown games of March
5. All OF these contests have now be-
come fixtures and are only too well
E1 fn hn IAfA - ~
lantic Association to comment on their
attractiveness.
Outdoor Contests.
The outdoor contests in track and
field in the South Atlantic Association
usually assume the shape of dual meets
between the various schools, colleges,
and clubs in the district, and in these
games some excellent competition is
seen and fine marks are made.
The year 1911 should in every way be
a banner year for track and field ath-
closed or open, scratch or handicap, coll
legiate or club. Let It be clean, close,
and gentlemanly. Don't knock" the
losers, for they are the winners Of to-
morrow, and remember that in this
works, plugs" and waits.
Champions of Events.
The year just passed saw the inaugu-
ration IN the South Atlantic Associa-
ton of indoor championships. These
events were held at the various indoor
meets of the season. and the cham

performances, are:

SOUTIPAW GRAY
MUST START WELL
'Dolys" Inconsistent Form of Last Year Not Likely
Be Tolerated This Season McBride's Selection
AS Captain Happy One-Sport Comment.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

There is no member of the Wash
ington pitching staff who has caused
Jimmy McAleer more Joy and dis
pleasure than Dolly Gray.
At times the southpaw showed brill
liant form, only to relapse the next
time out, with the result that his
status has always remained in most
unsettled state.
McAleer realizes that left-handers
are essential to a successful club in
any league and for that reason every
encouragement will be given Gray,
but should he fall down in the pre-
liminary games, the manager will
commence to cast about for a success
sor to Gray
At his best Gray is sufficiently fast
to remain in major company. and
should it be decided to dispose of him
IT is doubtful II waivers could be OBJ
tanned, so IL he does go. 1t will prob
ably be in some sort of trade with
some club in the American League.

Be Fair. to Tom Hughes.

Once the fans generally get the i'm
preston that ball PLAYER does not keep
himself in proper condition during the
regular season his popularity soon
wanes. 1t is easy enough to start the
talk, but a most difficult proposition to
stop the damage resulting from the idle
gossip.
Tom Hughes is the victim of just such
sort of rumors. In some way the idea
matches clean.
became broadcast that Hughes was d
heavy drinker. and, as a result, Hughes
was marked as a bad actor
Now, to get down to brass tacks,
Hughes is not nearly so bad as he is
painted by many Of the knowing ones,
and the belief should be dissipated in
justice to the man himself.
Like the vast majority of ball players
Hughes drinks beer, and, occa casionally,
may jump over the traces. but the wild
tears are not half as numerous as some
followers of the Nationals would have
you believe.

WASHINGTON LEF7HAkDER TO BE GWEN CHANCE IN SPRING
BOB THAYER'S
Sporting Gossip
"Epery Knock Is a Boost"

There appears to be the widest diver
sity of opinion among ball players and
managers upon the desirability of At
lanta as a spring training site.
The PHILADELPHIA Athletics were the
last to abandon the Georgia capital,
claiming the climatic conditions were so
uncertain that they could lot take the
risk Of losing much valuable time when
the weather might be unsatisfactory.
As a matter Of fact, the same obtains
early in the spring in any part Of the
u. s. A., and II the Nationals are hin
dered in their work il will be simply a
matter OF luck, for when there is a cold
snap IN Atlanta, or 1t is raining there,
snap in Atlanta, or 1t is raining there,
teams that might be bat a couple Of

At its best, Atlanta is an ideal place
for early stunts and the Nationals are
Just as apt to find It at its best as they
are to find 1t at its worst.

McBride's Popularity.

When Jimmy McAleer named George
Mcbride to be field leader of the Ma
tionaIs, the announcement met with the
appreciation of both players and fans.
His ability as player, his knowledge
of the game and his universal popularity
combined to make him an ideal cap
tain. Anent McBride's appointment,
the Milwaukee Sentinel has ths follow
ing to say:
The fact that George Mcbride, OF
this city, has been chosen field captain
of the Washington team serves to en-
phasize the proposition that sportsmen

National Commission Meets.

National Commission Meets.
AS was predicted in these columns
some time since, the National Commits
sion, at its meeting in Cincinnati today,
took official cognizance of post-season
trips by major league players and
urged" that clubs maintain their full
strength on these tours.
Anyone who has followed Ban john
sons system in handling abuses in the
American League, will realize that by
urged is meant ordered, and as a re-
suit of the decision today there will be
no more such 'joy rides as the Phila-
delphia and Detroit teams took during
the fall, when they lost to native aggre-
cations.
These trips in the past have been lit
tie more than Jokes so far as the quality
of baseball has been concerned The
gathering of the teams simply resulted
in tossing IN aEY sort of players to fill
the gaps caused by the absence of the
zeal stars, aud naming the outfit after
some club that had finished well up in
the race.
The decision today will insure Cubans
the sort of ball they pay for, and will
not allow any player or set of players
to place baseball in such an undesirable
light as It has been since the last
worlds series

Too Much Talk Will Hurt Racing.

It is entirely orobIematicaI what would
be the result were a campaign carried to
ALBANY to have repealed the anti-betting
laws Of New York State.
The bookmakers and other profession
al followers Of the race tracks, in their
wonted cock-sure manner, are claiming
that before the end OF another year
there will be meetings around New
York city, carried on as in the old days.
But there seems to be no well-founded
reason for such a belief.
That the Democratic victory increased
the probability of obtaining favorable
legislat ton is conceded. but the question
is still far from settled, and the racing
people would be far better of and would
be increasing their chances, by refrain
ing from. a lot of ill-timed boasting Of
how strong they are at Albany.
II the Legislature does wipe out the
law prohibiting bookmaking and restore
racing. the sport Is sure to be conducted
on a higher plane than ever before. I'm
less some arrangement, for guaranteeing
a reform Is reached, 1t is better to al
low racing to rest as 1t Is.
