lowed a system of secret scoring to go
into force would have been a step back
ward. Let the league insist on appointing
competent scorers instead of using the
position means of furnishing graft to
a few scribes, and there will never be any
kick coming on the scoring
Though out of the game for many
years and too far advanced in age to
have chance to hold his own, Tommy
Ryan, once the middleweight champion,
has caused it to be announced that he is
going to try to come back. OF course,
Tommy has no such intention, but has
merely resOrted to this method Of getting
himself before the public. Nor has his
judgment been keen in selecting this plan
to gain notoriety, for the public has had
enough Of this comeback stuff to last it
for decade. Jeffries started the come
back effort and Battling Nelson also tried
1t is firmly stamped upon the public mind
that come-backs don't come back.
Any innovation in base ball which is
followed by success is sure to become
popular. 4 few years ago bail teams did
not think of going south for more than a
few weeks. and not SO very long ago
those trips were entirely unknown But
a few years ago John McGraw of the
Giants took his young players to warm
climate in the middle of February. His
team was a winner that year, and the trip
south was given credit for having accom-
plished much. The result was that other
teams started south earlier in the spring,
and, in fact. in most instances all the
teams have taken longer sojourns in the
spring.
Early February is now the time for a
majority Of the ball players to start
their training. and they are at it for six
weeks more before the season opens
Ball players these days get about three
months rest. They play far into Octo-
Der and are idle only in November. De-
cember and January.

Complaints Groundless.

So, taking everything into consideration.
it hardly looks as though the Georgetown
coach has any complaints worthy of men,
ton. If his authority over the men has
in any way been interfered with ne need
only bring the matter to the attention OF
the executive council, where it will be
attended to without delay. The council
has ruled once this year that the coach
shall have absolute control as far as
training team is concerned, and from all
accounts this rule has not been offended
against in the track department.
Foleys action in making public his
grievances has been condemned by the
large ma jority of students. most of whom
hold that it was disloyalty on his part
entirely. 1t is fact that Foley first got
his name as a trainer from his cOnnec-
ton with Georgetown and it is also GER
tain that he would lose caste II he sew

though. that the whole matter was the
result of indiscreet talking and hence will
not be looked into further unless a de-
mand for an investigation is made by
some one closely connected with the
track team.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

While the addition Of Jimmy Austin
and Frank Laporte may serve the pur-
pose of creating the impression that the
st. Louis club is trying to better condi-
tions, it is hardly believed that these
two players will add any strength to the
Browns.
Austin is fast. hustling player. but
he is neither brilliant fielder nor a
hitter. In hitting in fact he is much too
weak to hold his own in this company.
Laporte can hit, but that let's him out.
The change from a winner to a loser is
also apt to make difference in the
work of the two players.
Even if Roy Hartzell should not come
up to expectations in New York, the
New York club will not have lost any
thing by reason of the deals with ST.
Louis. for it could not expect to win
pennants with players of the Austin-La a
porte type. On the other hand Hartzell
is sure to play to his best form now that
he is on a winning team, but Chase will
undoubtedly find that Hartzell is any
thing but classy infielder, though he
shines in the outfeld.
Two propositions made recently in
connection with base ball will never be
adopted. The plan to keep the identity
of the official scorers secret has already
been withdrawn while the scheme to have
committee Of newspaper men decide
upon the most valuable player in the
league SO that he can be handed an au-
tomobile by an individual who is looking
to advertise his wares is not very apt
to become a reality.

agree which was the most valuable play

on the docket for this week. The first is
with the Maryland Aggies Wednesday.
and in the second the Hilltoppers will
meet their old rivals. Virginia. 1t Is pref

Prof. Joyce's Stand Right.

Prof. Joyce is undoubtedly right in the
stand he is taking. He is DESTROYS of
turning out good team and it is i'm
possible for him to do SO under the pres
ent conditions. 1t is no credit to George
town to send out a basket ball team to
be beaten ANONYMOUSLY by the teams in
its class, and it seems that the only way
again to place the five on the high plane
of former years is for the coach to take
the initiative and institute the reform
contemplated by him. 1t is certain that
representative quints will not be turned
out by Georgetown until some such rules
are lived up to, as it is no more possible
to play basket ball without hard. earnest
endeavor than it is foot ball or base bail.
In fact, basket ball, while it does not
seem SO to the casual spectator, requires
a great deal of collaboration on the part
of the players, and a successful quint
cannot be developed without it.

would seem that something is radically
wrong.
Lack of Practice.
Prof. Joyce. in charge of the team, in
talking of the matter, made plain the
cause of the defeats sustained by it this
season. He said that it was simply
lack of practice. The men. according to
him, absolutely refuse to report for work
in the afternoon. In connection with his
interview the Georgetown physical di-
rector made the following statement:
II l have charge of the Georgetown
University basket ball team next year
not man shall have a position on II
unless he reports regularly for practice.
As the situation stands at present it is
almost impossible for me to get the men
together from one game to another, and
as result our teamwork is faulty in
the regular contests with other schools,
and it Is simply a case of a team with
no practice going against a well groom

ture OF the bulletin is the plan fo- ac-

lieves that the courses In the highe,
