A much needed improvement in
the shape of a tile ditch drain
to carry away the water from the cor
ner of Volusia and Palmetto avenues
is being made by the city street de-
partment under the direction of Com
missioner HUMPHREYS. The tile for
the ditch is furnished by the county
commissioners and the work is being
done by the city, the ditch leading
for 100 feet north from Volusia aven-
ue on Palmetto avenue. For some
time the standing water after each
rain at this corner has been a great
inconvenience, but in future the
water will be easily carried away.

AViAToRs WANT TO COME
TO DAYToNA FOR FLIGHTS

There seems to be no end to
the opportunities offered to secure
aviation attractions for Daytona this
winter. three promoters and manag-
ers of aviators having started ne
goiations for exhibition flights during
the past week. No definite PROPOSE
tions have been offered by any of
the promoters and none has been
given encouragement to bring await
ors here for exhibition flights this
winter. 1t is probable. however, that
each of the promoters will be heard
from with definite proposition
within a short time and the matter
can then be considered by the civic
organizations of this city and vi
cinity.

Nerv MANAGER Sees No Reason Why Nationals
Should Not Be Up in First Division.
May Train in Charlottesville

past month leasing his big Montana
ranch, so that he could be free TO put
his whole mind and time on the local
baseball situation. He will open up q
downtown office next week, to be known
as baseball headquarters, and Washing
ton will at last be UP to date and on
a ranking with other big league cities.
Il have given little thought to spring
training plans, and will not decide in a
hurry. am very much in favor of send
ing the squad down to Virginia for three
weeks, some place like Charlottesville,
and will in all probability make some
sort Of an arrangement. Several of :he
pitchers will probably be shipped to Hot
Springs for a good boiling out. I hardly
think we will train in Washington"
willing to Help EIberfeId.
1t was generally supposed by the base
ball fraternity at large that Griffith and
Kid Elberfeld were mortal enemies, yet
such does not appear to be the case. The
Kid wants mis- release from Washington
so that he can open negotiations for the
managerial berth of a minor league club.
Griff said: II would be the last man in
the world to stand in Eberfeld's way,
and will do all in my power to make it
possible for him to land with a minor
league club. 1t would hardly be good
policy to release him outright-I mean
good business policy-as he cost the
Washington club considerable money,
but have no doubt that II he OBJ
tains a good offer from some club, I
can come to an arrangement with the
management for a player or two. At
any rate I will do all in my power to
help out Elberfeld."
The new manager hustled up. his busi-
ness affairs in the wild of Montana so
he could get back to his new home in
He looks the perfect picture of health and
is anxious to jump into harness.
Griffith is sure to make a big hit with
Washington fans. A harder working
manager never piloted a club than Griff.
He not only knows the game and all tits
fine points, but carries around a good
business head. His policy OF building
up a team Of youngsters is very much
according to Hoyle; in fact, IT is the
only way to turn out a winner.
Until Griff has seen the players in ac-
tion it is heardly likely that he will
make any trades, although he says that
If anybody has something good to offer
and II looks good to him he will, Of
course, open negotiations, but he is not
going to let any youngsters slip through
his fingers without first watching them
in action.
Griffith was interested to learn that
Germany Schaefer was in town in the
role Of an actor, and said he would try
to see the show. The Griffiths have a
apartment at Fifteenth and
L streets, and Mrs. Griffith says she is
with the Capital and the Wash
ingtc mans she has met.

BASKETBALL AT CATHEDRAL.

National Cathedral School basketball
squad is practicing basketball daily in
the gymnasium under the able tutelage
Of Coach Green. Capt. Win Lockwood,
who was a member of last years cham
pionship team, is the only experienced
man on the squad.
An extensive schedule is being prepared
for the coming season, with the hope
that this years squad can gain that
needed experience that is so essential
to a winning combination. The team will
have in Mr.. Green the best all around
coach in the District of Columbia to
teach them the fine points of the game,
and man who viii imbue them with a
fighting spirit and confidence that will
help overcome many a better team. The
makeup of the team has not as yet
been decided on, but It Is a pretty safe
guess that 1t will be composed of the
following five men. when the referee

WHhLehigh Today
Fast Game Promised on the Hilltop Gridiron.
Same Team That Faced Virginia VIII
Start for Blue and GRAY.

Georgetown is ready for Lehigh. The
Blue and Gray eleven is primed to the
minute for the final game OF the season.
and that a battle royal is sure to result
is the opinion of many.
Manager Walsh, of the Hilltoppers
stated last night that the field was being
put into shape, and by the time for the
game to start rolls around the gridiron
will be in fair condition. 1t will not be
as firm as desired. but with the rain
that has fallen the past few days a hard
field is out OF the question.
The same team that started against
Virginia will wear the Blue and Gray
in to-day's battle, with Magner held in
reserve to jump in the back field at a
minutes notice. Capt. Daley is confident
of winning, and while a tough game is
expected, the Hilltoppers have one. of
the best teams in the South and should
come out with the long end Of the score.
Last seasons battle between these
teams resulted in victory for the Hill
top aggregation only after one of the
hardest games OF the year. The sup
porters OF both teams were kept on edge
throughout the contest, as first one team
and then the other would make sensa-
tional plays. The final thrill Of last
years game came in the last few minutes
Of play, when Carter pulled down
Brown and White athlete on the 6-yard
line, saving a touchdown.
Georgetown outweighed.
Although the Hilltoppers will be
slightly outweighed in to-day's game, the
speed Of the Blue and Gray should make
up for the weight OF the Brown and
White. To-day's game is sure to be a
hummer, and those who attend will see
one Of the best football games of the
year. Harry Costello is counted upon to
boot the oval over the posts at least once
during the afternoon, and that is sight
to see.
The local chapter Of the Lehigh UNI
versity Alumni Association Is to attend
the game in a body, and promises to
be on the Hilltop in goodly numbers to
cheer Its team on to victory. The ad-
vance sale of tickets has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations Of the
Georgetown management, as already a
large number of seats on both sides Of
the field have been sold. The usual ad-
mission OF $50 for grand stand seats
and 81 for standing room will be charged
while spectators can view the game
from their automobiles in the parking
space for 81 per head. The game will be
called promptly at 2:30

the Nationals, who arrived in the Capital

Every Washingtonian whom / have
met during the past five years has hand
ed me the same stuff, and frankly be-
lieve that the Capital can have a first
division club or even a pennant conten-
der. don't claim will be the man to
do It, but I believe it can be done. I Will
say this, that I have been able to de-
velop first division teams with no better
material in sight than that left by Jim
McAleer.
II am glad to be in Washington-have
always liked this city and the fans here
should remember that my money is in
vested in the club, and for that reaosn
alone my interests are theirs. I shall
work my hardest to give the Capital a
good team. I am not making any pre-
dictions as to where we will finish next
season. II We drop down to last place
it will be for the reason that 1 am try
ing to build up with youngsters. If
had a bunch that was out fighting for
the pennant l would probably want q
few veterans around me, but no such
condition exists at present. I have got
to start in and build up a winning ball
club, and, of course, will have to de-
velop young players.
GrIn Pleased with Catchers.
Take the club as 1t stands to-day
First of all we have the catchers in
Street, Ainsmith. and Henry. Catchers
are just as important as pitchers They
tell me that Ainsmith and Henry are
coming fast. Street is a reliable, steady
man and is good for several more years
in fast company. This array Of catch
ing talent appeals to me more than al
most anything else.
"As for pitchers, everybody knows that
Walter Johnson is one of the best in the
country. The others, especially the
youngsters, can be taught I am pitch
er myself and, without boasting, can
say that have been successful in coach
ing young pitchers.
Take the case of big Rube Benton,

INTEREST SHOWN.
Big Crowd Expected at Tech-Cen-

rraI 0nmc TO-1nOrEO"s
Interest in the big game between Cen
trail and Tech, which will be played on
Georgetown Field tomorrow at 2:3O D.
m. for the benefit OF the Fairgrounds and
Boy Scouts, has reached a high pitch.
r The recent developments in regard to
the contest, caused by the downpour Of
rain on Tuesday, which made necessary
the calling on Of the game, has created
an added touch of rivalry between the
two teams and their adherents, and the
battle which will result is sure to 60
down in the history of the high schools
as one Of the greatest encounters be-
tween two scholastic teams which has
ever been staged. The large crowd which
turned out in the rain to witness the
contest was only small portion OF the
number which would have been present
had the day been clear, and should the
present weather continue the field
should be in frst-class condition for the
pigskin warriors to wrestle for suprem-
acy for a most worthy cause before an
sssembiage which viii rival the turnout
