of prime Importance.

sold as being All Wool, and, CONNER
cially speaking, they are all WOOL There
is a distinction, however, between an

Shoddy wool is All Wool, but Pure Wool

Western High has sent the greatest

Men have been entered in each of the diff
ferent scholastic and open events.
The material from which the team has
been built is green and 1t is not known
what may be expected of it. Every man
who shows any aptitude for the running
game during the year will be entered in
the different meets, as 1t is de-
sired to develop a good nucleus around
which to form a winning aggregation
next season.
The following men have been entered in
the different events: Tanner and Eillegas
in the open sSO-yard run; Holden,
Cpman and Shoemaker. in the scholastic
quarter: Crocker and Hunter in the two

GEORGETOWN TO PLAY
MED|CS IN BALTIMORE
Game Tomorrow Night Will
Have Great Weight in De-
Gliding Southern Title.

The Blue and Gray goal tossers, now
considered the most likely candidates for
the south Atlantic intercollegiate cham
pionship, will play one of the most
crucial games in the battle for that
honor tomorrow evening. The encounter
will be held in the 9Th Regiment Armory
of Baltimore and the opponents Of the
local quint will be the speedy five rep
resenting the Medical College of that city.
Shortly before the holidays the Hill
toppers defeated their rivals from Balti-
more by the narrow margin of a single
tally after three extra sessions had been
played to break ties. Since then the men
of the Monumental City have played
Princeton and Pennsylvania. with sue
cess in both contests. Their teamwork
has also been reported as having become
much better. and as this was their weak
ness in their last game against the Blue
and Gray, il may be easily deduced that
they will line up exceedingly formidable
tomorrow evening.
At the same time the Georgetown team,
by means of considerable practice ard
a great number Of games, has acquired
much more speed and, as a whole. has
become a smoother playing organization.

about ready to admit that he must be

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Manager McAleer has made a change in
the list of players who are to start for
Hot Springs. Ark. shortly. Word re-
ceved this morning shows that there are
eight members of the team to make this
trip and that Milan is not one of them.
The players who will make the trip are:
Johnson. Hughes, Walker. Otey. Reisling,
Mcbride, Schaefer and Conroy.
There will be five pitchers in the party,
every one of whom should be benefited by
his stay at the resort. This is particu-
larly true of Otey Walker, Hughes and
Reislng. and while Johnson may not be in
need of any such treatment, it is sure
not to harm him.
Strangely enough McAleer has not as
signed any one of his catchers to go with
these pitchers. Usually when pitchers
are sent to Hot Springs a catcher is sent
along to handle their delivery. McAleer
may figure that he does not want these
pitchers to work out at top speed and that
during their stay there they shall indulge
in nothing but tossing.
But Hot Springs is crowded with ball
players early in the spring and the local
pitchers will not have any trouble finding
catchers to hold their deliveries.
While this squad Is in Arkansas IL
Elberfeld will be doing his preliminary
training at Hot Springs. Va. place
which he prefers to the far western
springs. Barring accident, every one of
these players should report to McAleer
early in March in first-class condition.
Mctleer deserves to get some good
pitching out of Bill Otey. He has done
everything to bring this youngster to the
front. and if there is any major league
pitching in that young man McAleer
ought to get it. When he picked him up
last summer Otey had just recovered
from severe attack of typhoid and was,

CLEVELAND. Ohio, January 25.-Cy
Rigler. the National League umpire. Is
something of a comedian. Nothing de-
lights him more than to turn a trick on
some of his brother umpires. He had the
extreme pleasure of slipping one over on
Billy Evans last week.
Rigler spent several days in Cleveland
during the holidays as the guest of some
relatives here. AS is natural. he looked
up Billy Evans to talk over some winter
base ball. Among the subjects of con-
versation that came up was one relative
to the eye test proposed for umpires.
Evans said he would relish any such a
test, for he was absolutely certain there
was nothing the matter with his optics.
and that he felt sure OF being able to
pass the most rigid examination with
high honors.
The two arbitrators were walking down
Euclid avenue, and while discussing the
proposed reform. .Rigler happened to dis
cover one of the placards used for eye
tests in the window of we'll known op-
tician
You better do a little practicing on
that eye test remarked Rigler. pointing
to the placard in the window some 2OO
feet in advance.
..rll pass that examination without do
ing any practicing.' answered Bill.
We'll, IL YOU are so good, you ought to be
able to read those letters from this dis
tance'' replied Riger.
The two umpires stopped, and Evans
glued his eyes on the placard. After a
minute or so of fruitless effort he admit
ted to Rigler that the letters all looked
alike to him from that distance, which
was about five or six times the regular
distance used by opticians in their test.

II does not seem to require much these
days for a fighter to gain the reputation
of being a coming champion. Just now
there is a certain element decidedly en-
thusiastic over a young lightweight who
goes by the handle of Knockout Brown,
when judging on that worthy's past per-
Torrance he cannot possibly be rated
higher than the third class. But Brown,
because he has a Wallop, and is sure to
knockout any opponent he lands on, has
made himself very popular. though wise
ring followers contend that he knows
little Of the game.
Brown is to meet Ad Wolgast February
in a six-round go in Philadelphia, on
which occasion he will have an opportun-
ity of showing just what he can do when
pitted against a good. clever boxer, and
the prediction is made by those who have
followed Brown that he will come out
of the bout badly beaten. Wolgast. how
ever, will have to put up a careful fight,
for to take any chances with Brown is
dangerous, because, as said before. he has
a sleep-producing wallop in his right
hand, the only one he is said to use.
Every follower of base ball has his

of opinion that the greatest player in the

equal. All ball players have their weak
neases, yet no one has ever discovered

BILE hitter. one of the fastest runners,
great thrower and marvellous helder
Combined with his natural ability COBB
possesses what many ball players lack
spirit and energy. Take his work day
in and day out and he has shade on
the other players who loom UP as among
the really classy lot. But it is his spirit
that gives him this advantage. Every
game that he goes into he puts his heart
and soul in his work. He has no off days
so far as trying to do his best is con-
cerned. Whether the pennant hinges on
the result or 1t is a mere exhibition. Cobb
is always performing to the best of his
ability.
You may not like his ways. You may
think him suffering from ego and charge
him with running wild on the bases and
all that. but when you balance his ac-
count at the end of the season you get, a
line on his real ability.
There is no doubt that because of his
daring Cobb Is frequently caught on the
bases in a manner that makes him look
ridiculous but more often does he make
the opposing team look like novices.

MACK DUE TODAY.

PHILADELPHIA January 27.-Connie
Mack and his bride of few months are
expected to arrive in this city today
after an absence of about three months.
Connie was due yesterday, but the Maui
retania ran into big fog bank miles out
in the Atlantic, compelling her to run at
gre atty reduced speed and delaying the
docking of the big liner until this morn
ing The information was flashed via
wireless to the Sandy Hook wireless sta
ton and the news conveyed to the wait
ing Philadelphians in New York, who
went over to Gotham early in the after
noon to greet the Athletics tall chieftain.
The arrival of Mack in town is eagerly
waited for by all the base ball fans, and
particularly those who follow the for
tunes OF the Athletics. There is much to
do for the silent and popular leader of
the worlds champions, and with his va
cation over he can be expected to tess his
coat aside and plunge into the work
which awaits him. Most Of the players
are to be whipped into line, for there are
not many who have signed 1911 contracts.
That very few are of the hold-out dispo-
sition is admitted by the players who
winter here, and Connie will probably
have all his Cub conquerors in line with

II have reasoned it out that the slow
ball pitcher scarcely ever won his games
by small scores. and the clubs in the days
when slow ball pitchers thrived generally
had a lot of batters who won their games
by big scores. 1t did not cause much
damage If five or six runs were scored
against club that owned a slow bal
and score seven or eight runs. But now
adays the scores are smaller and the mar
with the fioater finds it difficult to stand
the pace
