Kansas City Star.
Mr. John Spargo speaks Of social
and industrial things with political
grace. He rests his appeal for a
squarer deal for women and children
and then for men-not exclusively
with those of his own economic
faith. He appeals also TO men and
women who may differ widely from
him as to the method by which may
be attained the results which all Of

ly. the Socialist John Spargo believes
that a conscious cooperative strug-

to give him q victory.
Did Abe "pull?" Not 50 that-it was

unable to hand the old excuse out-a
consolation to them in previous bouts
whenever Abe finished bout beaten

Attell tried last night. No man who

GEORGETOWN TENNIS.
Collegians Will Further Promote
Minor Sport in Spring.

Manager Stephen Carroll of the George
town University Tennis Association yes
terday gave out an announcement which
caused great surprise among the devotees
of the racket game at the hilltop school.
1t concerned the plans Of campaign for
the coming spring and also made known
the fact that two more courts are to be
laid out, one of which will be reserved
exclusively for those who succeed in MAX
ing places on the team.
The two new courts are to be carefully
laid out adjoining the three already in
existence. Both will be on the river side
OF the campus The site is to be cleared
shortly Of the old carpenter shop. which
has been vacated for a new building.
One OF the courts will be inclosed with a
netting TO prevent general use. while the
other will be included in the space within
the old grounds.
That the new playing areas will come in
handy is certain. as last year the game
received q great deal of support. En-
thudasm ran high among the students
throughout the year. and as result a
trio of players was developed which
trimmed st. Johns College OF Annapolis
in a spirited contest. The coming year
the st. Johns team will play on the local
courts. negotiations being already Under
way. In addition to the ST. Johns match
two others are also being contemplated.
both of which will be away from home
These will most likely be with the Navy

FAVORS FOUR TRIPS.
National League May Agree With
American on Additional Round.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January a.
President August Hermann of the ma
tional base ball commission, Manager
Griffith and Business Manager Bancroft
of the Cincinnati National League club
held a conference yesterday regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY Of taking up the four
trip schedule with the American League
in the annual meeting this week.
After considering the question from
every point of view I can't see a single
objection to the scheme" said Mr. Herr
mann yesterday. Then the -four, addi-
tional Sunday games will be a big thing
for the Chicago and Cincinnati clubs.
The Pittsburg and st. Louis clubs can
hasten home and meet them on the home
lots. All Of the eastern teams will be
pleased, for they will get at least three
extra Saturdays at home each season.
We can't afford to let the fans forget
about our ball players, as they are prone
to do under three-trip schedules, when
the boys are away from home from sew
enteen to forty-two games on stretch.

GOLF ASSOCIATION
MEETS IN CHICAGO
Will Elect Officers and Decide

Controversy.

CHICAGO. January a. = Everything
from the dove OF peace to the most
pronounced kind of war talk" has been
laid out for inspection of the delegates
to the annual meeting of the United

he'd here tonight.
What appears on the face of matters to
he the most important political question
to come before the meeting is the disposal

ROYAL and Ancient Club of st. Andrews.
Scotland, the home OF the game, but
many golfers in this country are OF the
opinion that the ruling is unfair. and
there will be an effort to get this move
repudiated by the A. S. G. A. Many So
buttons of the problem have been offered,
ranging from an open break with the
ROYAL and Ancient to compromise
which will kill the effectof the ruling.
Officials of the A. 8. G. A. have little to
say regarding the matter, and. In fact, do
not know much. as many OF the delegates
have been instructed how to vote and
must do as instructed regardless OF de-
yelopments, while others will go to the
meeting open-minded, with the privilege
OF acting as they deem best for the IN
terests OF the game.

ter ii is said that every club which 10

by delegate or proxy, number OF dele

COLLEGE SHOOTERS.
Georgetown Marksmen Do Well in
Initial Trial With Rifles.

Judging from the large number Of cam
didates who were on hand last night at
the National Gallery and the individual
scores made by many of them, George
town University is going to have a rifle
team this year that will come pretty
near to holding it's own with any col
lege that is represented in this class of
sport.
While all Of the scores made last night
have not as yet been added up, it was
seen that several of the new men made
some very good totals, and, taken all
together presented a very fair average.
especially as this was the first time this
year that practice was held.
The candidates were in charge of Ger
aid MCGUIRE q member Of the class of

member Of last years team and is one
OF the officers of the club.

The actions of a certain club owner OF
the west were mentioned as we'll by Mr..
Lynch, who added:
One of our hardest tasks in this Office
is handing out the news to the papers.
While there is great deal of information
regarding the league which belongs to the
public. there is some which is the proper
~ of the league alone. OF the former ii Is
one of cur duties in this Office, as the
headquarters of the National League, to
distribute the information to the public
through the newspapers, but when. after
pledgin myself to secrecy on certain
matters at the meeting. and then on re-
turning to New York unable to give out
any information. I find that in some way
ii has already leaked out in the west, IT
gets my goat.
1T looks bad that these stories should
Arst reach New York from the west when
the headquarters are located In thio town.
it was the same way at the National
League meetin at the Hotel Breslin. John
Heydler and myself sat down and gave out
what had transpired at the meeting: that
IS, the information which was to be made
public. Charley Murphy returns to Chica-
go and Immediately circulates some sto-
ries which were not to be given out. The
news reached here again from the west,
and naturally We were put in bad light

PERTINENT COMMENT ON
HAPPENINGS In SPORTDOM

these matters have been agitated time
and time again, there has never been
any logical argument presented In favor
of doing away with these features OF
the game. So far as the spit ball is con-
cerned, it is growing less In use every
year. Pitchers have the idea that II
Injuries their arms to use this delivery,
and those that can get away without II
would not attempt to use it.
Last year the veteran Cy Young used
the splitter occasionally and his arm
did not seem to suffer as consequence.
While President Lynch is undoubtedly
right when he says it would be poor
policy to bring the umpircs and players in
close relationship by having the jumps Of
ficiate during the spring training games,
to get them into condition, vet there is
way to avoid this state of affairs by hav-
ing the two major leagues exchange UNI
pires during the south trips OF the teams.
This would give the umpires the practice
they undoubtedly need and would prevent
that familiarity between them and the
players springing UP. for as soon as the
training period draws to close the UNI
pires would not see the players again
with whom they had spent several weeks
in the spring.
There is not the slightest doubt thai
umpires are Handicapped by reason Of the
long idel period Of the winter during
the first month or so of the regular sea
son, and there Is no reason Tor this at ALL
1t could be easily be avoided, and their
work If they were properly trained would
be much more satisfactory to the players.
If Abe Attell is getting a champion s
pay for his numerous appearances in the
ring he should easily be the wealthiest
fighter in the world by the time he re-
tires. The game has never known a
more thrifty member than Atell. He fights
on an average Of once a week the year
around, and makes these numerous
matches possible by occasionally drawing
the finish SO fine with one Of his oppo-
nents that a return bout is necessary to
satisfy the public When Attell retires,
and no one can guess when that will be.
for he appears tosbe just as good as ever,
he should not have to worry about his
future.

nary move TO re-establishing racing on

strength to the rumor that the metropoli-
tan season will not open until after the
wind-up of the Pimllco meeting.
For some time the belief has prevailed
that there would be no racing here until
May Is at the earliest although no Off
cial intimation has been heard that there
will not be an earlier start. Those who
busy themselves in circulating turf
