Shown, Considering the

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 23-The
varsity baseball team came out on
Soldiers Field for the first time yester-
DAY. The outfielders already have done
little work in the open, but afforded
the first opportunity for the coach to
see the men actually play ball the
pitchers cid not exert themselves and
the practice lineup showLa a lot of
good hitting and fielding that was very
clean considering the conditions.
The long-dstance runners of the track
team also reported to Trainer Dono-
van. jacques was the only one who
has had any experience.
Hamilton Fish, jr., who captained the
Harvard law school team which beat
the Indians last fall and later made a

game had been arranged. but that II
one could be arranged the Harvard
team would be ready to play.

PARTLY ARRANGED
Representatives of Annapolis
and West Point End .
Conference.

PHILADELPHIA, March ga par
tial arrangement of the plans for the
Army and Navy football game next
fall was drawn up by representatives
of West Point and Annapolis at a con-
ference in the MISREPRESENTATION Ho-
tel.
The report of this conference will be
submitted to the athletic authorities
of the respective academies for ap-
proval and If no objection is raised by
either side a meeting will be arranged
with representatives of the University
of Pennsylvania relative to the use of
Franklin Field.
Though none of those who particI-
pated in the conference was inclined
to discuss what ARRANGEMENTS had
been made, the announcement that the
University of Pennsylvania would he
consulted before any final steps are
taken indicates that the annual game
will again be played in this city.
1t was learned that the committees
representing the academies were entire
~ satisfied with the general conditions
of Franklin Field and are particularly
pleased with the transportation facili-
ties In ard out of Philadelphia The
only point of contention, 1t was ad.
mitted, is the question of alIotting the
tickets. Each academy wants more
seats than they have been allowed In
previous years, and if the matter can
be adjusted amicablV, Philadelphia will
be assured the football game for years
to come.
The representative of the Navy was
Lieutenant Commander W. H. w. Bull
lard and Capt. w. B. Gordon, and Lieut..
II. NJ. Nelly acted for the Army. After
the conference they left Philadelphia,
and 1t is expected that some announce
ment will shortly be made at either
West Point or Annapolis. The athletic
authorities of the university claim they
know nothing of this conference beyond
the fact that it was held here.
The conference yesterday was TO de-
terInine what position the two acad-
emies should take when DR.. White re-
turns from Bermuda and the regular
conference between representatives of
the two academies and of the univer-
sity takes place. If the scheme of erect
ing temporary double-decker stand is
found feasible, the game will, undouht-
Otherwise II is probable that other ar
rangements will be made, for the two
academies will hardly back down en-
trely In their demands, while Pennsyl-
Nania men have been able to think of
no other methods of increasing the seat
ing capacity of Franklin Field to the
desired number.

found beyond Maryland Agricultural

was passed the course was good until
about a half mile the other side Of

winter hurt the road in that section, but

Schlahy to Troy.
After negotiating ever since the an
nual meeting of the Eastern League in
New York in December, Larry Schlaf1y,
the former Washington second baseman
and captain, has finally purchased his
release from the Newark club.
At the league convention Schlafiy OBJ
tained a big slice of stockTin the Albany
club Of the New York League upon con-
dition that he would be manager. Joe
McGinnlty, the Newark sleader, how
ever, declined to allow Schlafly to 20
unless another second baseman could
be obtained. Several offers were made,
but it was not until the contract of
Hall, of Baltimore. was received by
Newark that Schlafly was allowed to go
to assume managerial duties.
While too weak mechanically for the
American League, Schlafiy is not a bad
ball player, and is good enough leader
to make GOOD at the helm of a minor
league team.

At the Army-Navy game last fall,

inclined to accept. Later the Emmits-
burg management increased its PROPOSE
ton, and now Thompson has agreed to
go there the 1st of next April
Thompson will be in charge of all
branches of sport. He will personally
direct the football squad, and will have
such assistants as he deems necessary
to place Mt. st. Mary's among the very
leaders in intercollegiate athletics here
abouts.
