PLANS MADE FOR
GEORGETOWN MEET
Manager Kingsley Is Work
ing Hard for Games.

Manager Kingsley, OF the Georgetown
track team, has completed preliminary
plans for the big meet which is to be held
at Convention Hall early in March. The
hustling manager intends having all the
large colleges and universities of the
North represented at this annual affair.
and from present indications 1t would
seem that Harvard will be represented at
this meet. 1t is hoped by the manage
ment that the Crimson will consent to
send a team down this year. and IL they
do this II will be the first time in a good
many years that this renowned university
has been represer ted at a local meet.
II will be remembered that Princeton,
Yale, and Cornell were represented at
this meet last year, and these same
teams will be on hand again. An EFFORT
will be made to get Pennsylvania here on
this occasion also, and II successful
Washington will be afforded an opportu-
nifty to see some of the fastest athletes
of the country in action.
The track candidates put in a good
afternoons workout yesterday, and Capt.
Carrigan states that his men are going
TO train until hey leave for their vaca-
ton, and that they have no intention of
letting up in their work, as was first
thought by the management. The men
are all eager for the work, and ii would
be very foolish on the part of the captain
to disband the team before the holidays
under those conditions.
Hurley, the new candidate for the
sprints, looks as II he knew what he is
about. He handles himself as If he is
right at home IN a track suit. Hurley
has a good reputation in this branch of
sport, having earned the same at Mer-
cersburg Academy. Smith thinks that
this man will more than hold his own
with the fastest men In this section.

By WILLIAM PEET.

New York., Dec 13-So far as the
American League is concerned the an
nual baseball meeting OF 1911 is a matter
of history. President Ban Johnson and
the majority Of the eight representa-
tives pulled out of town late this after
noon, leaving the National Leaguers to
fight their own battles, which, according
to past performances, will take at least
a couple Of days more.
Claim was made that the resolution
adopted by the American League yes
terday afternoon were not received Off
ciaIly by the older body, so no action was
taken in the matter to-day. Whether or
not the National Leaguers will reply
to these resolutions before they ad-
journ is not known. Those on the in
side believe not
All this war talk is bosh; there isn't a
chance of any break in relations. The
American and National leagues have
a mutual agreement which calls for
joint schedule and rules meetings later
on in the winter, and these meetings will
be held just as before.
High officials OF both leagues laughed
heartily when they read the big head
lines in the New York papers intimating
that war has virtually been declared.
Secretary John Heydler. of the Nat
ional League, who stands Just about as
close to the inside workings of the
league as anybody. made the following
statement TO the writer: There will be
no war; you can bank on that The
National League does not want it;
neither does the American. Ban John
sons resolutions are contradictory and
mean little. 1t Is practically under
stood that in the future all tickets for
the words series games will be handled
by the rival clubs There has been a
lot Of smoke about the whole affair. but
a close investigation will show no fire.
Whatever differences exist between the
big leagues will soon be adjusted You
can bet on that"
Griffith Fails to Get Men.
Clark Griffith and President Moves left
for Washington on the o'clock train
this afternoon. Griff said before leav-
ing: I've wasted two days here in my
search for young talent 1t is true have
liked up the Rochester club by turning
over COnrOy and Gray to John CANCEL
. in exchange for MoeIler, Spencer, and
Foster, but l had my eye on two young
ball players in the National League

tul, as waivers could NOT be obtained 1

Just who the men were Griffith refused
to say, but it is understood they are both

during the season, and he even said that
Capt. Daley was responsible more than
any one person for the success of the
team during. the past season. Great
praise was also extended to Coach Mel
sen for the manner in which he coached
the team, because 1t was through this
single individual that teamwork was de-
veloped.
After losing to the Indians, the coach
took the team and nodded It together
so that the Blue and Gray eleven had
little difficulty in defeating Virginia and
Lehigh. At the conclusion of his speech
he thanked the team and the scrubs for
their untiring efforts during the past
season.
Capt. Daley had a few words TO say

claim on the midget. Both Chattanooga
and Baltimore want him, but nothing
has been done. Griffith is in no hurry

is plenty of time between now and the
opening of the season.
Jack Flynn, the Nationals first base

Boston needed bolstering about as badly
as any ball club that wiggled along upon
the edge OF a major circuit.
Harry Wolverton. the new manager OF
the Yankees, announced that he would

first of January, and start at once d.

that Menus would recover, so they might
