With the George Washington meet over
and the Federal games no longer in ex-
istence, Washington followers of track
athletics are eagerly awaiting George
towns thirteenth annual indoor carnival.
to be held in Convention Hall the night
Of March T.
AS in past years, the Georgetown
meet will be an intercollegiate affair. al
though there will be just enough talent
from the big clubs of New York to make
competition of the keenest order 1t is
the intention of Manager Wymard to
gather together the greatest galaxy of
college athletes that has ever been seen
in competition in an indoor track, and
no expense will be spared in, endeavor-
ing to make the meet a grand Success.
Many of these star athletes will carry
the Stars and Stripes in the OIyASpic
games to be held in Stockholm, Sweden.
in 1912, and it will be the last appearance
in Washington in an indoor meet of quite
a few, owing to graduation.
There will be athletes from the North,
East. South, and West, representing over
forty colleges alone. and as in past
years the pick of track and field men
from the Big Four will try conclusions
with those of colleges of lesser light.
Pennsylvania has promised TO send down
its entire track team, headed by PAUL,
intercollegiate half and mile champion.
II will be Paul's only appearance in
Washington this winter.
Big Four Entered.
Yale. Harvard. Princeton. Cornell, Holy
Cross, Vjllanova. Notre Dame, Ford
ham, and a dozen other colleges of the
East and West will send down their full
quota of stars, to say nothing of the
great number of Southern schools which
will be represented.
Relay races will be the feature of the
evening. with the Georgetown-Virgini
mile event winding up the card. From
present indications Georgetown's chances
Of defeating their old rival are better
than ever this year. With Gibbs back in
the fold and with the addition of '"Inky''
Davis, the team looks much stronger
than last season and Pop Lannigan's
charges will have TO hustle for su-
premacy.
Smith Sure to Shine.
The excellent performance of Capt.
Smith, Georgetown's star timtfr-topper
this season. will in all probability make
him a favorite in the JO-yard hurdles
Smith is having his most successful sea-
son, and Larry Martin. of Virginia, will
meet worthy opponent in this boy.
Entry blanks were sent out some time
ago and are being returned rapidly. 1t
is the desire of Manager Wymard that
the entries be made as soon as possible.
owing to the great difficulty experienced
each year in classifying the relays.

Technical High School is planning for
the biggest baseball season in the his
tory of the Rhode Island avenue insti-
tuition. Not in years has enthusiasm
been so strongly manifested as at
present
The schedule arranged by Manager
Walter Grigsby is the best the school
has ever attempted, and provides for
twenty-six games. exclusive of the
championship interhigh school contests.
On Manager Grigsby's list Is found
four games at Georgetown, two each
with the Props and the strong varsity
reserves. The booking of these games
virtually renews athletic relations with
the hSUtop collegians, as Tech and
Georgetown have been on the outs dur
ing the past few years, but all difficult
ties have now been patched up.

the District high schools. The candi-
dates for the team will also get the right
kind of coaching, for in addition to the
school coach, Kid Elberfeld and Mike
Kahoe. of the Nationals, drop around
frequently and give the boys some valu-
able pointers.
The battery candidates have been at
work in the old Turnverein Hall. corner
of Seventh and L streets, for the past
two weeks Eighteen promising young
sters are striving for positions, and
among the lot, according to Elberfeld
and Kahoe, there is some promising ma

GAME WITH WEST POINT.

Georgetown Manager Announe :,
ScrimmaEe with Cadets.
Manager Walsh, of the Georgetown
football team, announced yesterday that
the Hilltoppers will line up with the
West Point cadets for the first time in
many moons on November T.
Georgetown has long desired a game
with the soldiers, but somehow the man
ayers of the two institutions have never
been able to hit upon an agreeable date.
Much credit is due Manager Walsh for
being able % accomplish something that
no manager of any Georgetown eleven
has been able to do. and that is TO
add the West Pointers to the football
schedule.

SPORTING SIDELIGHTS
By BILL BAILEY.

This is one Of Jimmy Isaminger's hot
shots:
FoibIes of the Greatly Cobb always
dips his pen in ink before writing. Sher-
wood Magee depends on a toothbrush to
cleanse his teeth. Eddie Collins wears
heavier clothes in winter than in summer.
Charles Doom is a strong adherent of the
plan of sleeping indoors. Christy Mathew
son never eats a meal unless pepper and
salt are on the table. Mike Doolan would
not think of taking a bath without dis
rObing. Early in life Topsy Hartsel con-
traCted a habit of not eating potatoes
unless they were cooked; he has not
broken himself of it to this day. Ed
Walsh always sleeps in the nighttime,
Jimmy Mcclure has a decided repug-
nance against drinking carbolic acid. In
dressing, Jim McAleer puts on his under
wear first and his overcoat last. Con-
ME Mack can't restrain from opening
every letter addressed to him that the
mailman leaves"
There is little mercy in Philadelphia
courts. One magistrate sentenced a poor
offender to pronounce the name of Zby-
szko twenty-five times. At the hour of
going to press Gov. Tener hadn't issued
reprieve.
The officials of the Washington Canoe
Club wish it to be known that they are
not suffering any Inconvenience from SCOT
or smoke at their clubhouse. They have
been greatly annoyed at newspaper re-
ports to the effect that the nearby rail-
road was a menace to the comfort and
welfare of the members.
And this unkind cut from Grantland
Rice: we still contend that Manager
Wallace, of the Browns, has a wonderful
chance at fame. All he needs is to finish
as high as seventh to be hailed as the
dehverer of the city or at least a mill
tant power for the common good.
And with Washington in thS same cir
cult, why not?''
These are indeed days of duIlness and
despair. 1t has been a matter of a week
now since a new white hope was cooked
up TO save-us from the bondage and
degradation ofsliving under the pugilistic
reign of a smoke.

Wednesday afternoon, January II, at Prescott, the last nail in the Pioneers Home was driven, and on Thursday on behalf oi the Territory the building was accepted by A. J. Doran. the Su Supcrintendent. There was no ceremony, according to the Journal-Miner,
 A few citizens of the city were taken to the mansion on the hill to inspect the building which will be the habitation of the sturdy pioneers of Arizona still living.
 The furniture has arrived and is now being put together. Later in the week it will be taken to the building.
 The elegant fixtures donated by Gus Heyman will be set in lhe room designated, having reached the Home several days ago.
 The first testing of the heating apparatus was made Tuesday morning and showed a uniform temperature in all the rooms of 72 degrees. It was accepted.
 It is expected that the Home will be opened before the first of February, or as soon as the board of control convenes to pass upon the applications on hand. The institution can accommodate forty people. The list has al ready reached several times this number, which will be culled to the most desirable owing to the limited accommodations.
