GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

Since Georgetown scheduled a foot ball
game with the Carlisle Indians for next
fall, it has developed that Virginia never
has had a contest slated with the AbO-
rhymes. 1t was generally supposed that
Carlisle would meet the Southerners again
next season in this city, but it is under
stood from good authority that some one
very closely connected with foot ball af-
inside strings and landed the date for the
Blue and Gray eleven.
1t will be the first time that Georgetown
has met the Indians since 1905. when the
Red Men swamped the local school by
something like q points to o. Judging
by the quality of the teams turned out
by the Institutions last fall, there would
have been a different story to tell had
they met. and it is not likely that the
contest next fall viii be uninteresting

Considering the closeress of the scores
made by ST. Johns College and the Mary

teams against the Georg -town five, there
should be some good sport when the two
quints mix it for the Maryland intercol-

twenty-nine points against each team but

BUSINESS WINS.
Defeats Rover in Exciting Basket
Ball Battle.

One of the most evenly contested games
ever played at True Reformers' gymna-
SUM was pulled off Saturday evening,
when the colored Business High School
team defeated the Rover basket bail
team by the score of II to IL. Opening
the game with a score, it seemed as
though the Rover team was due to win
the contest of the evening, but Business
players got busy and evened up matters
at the end of the first half. Perkins and
Tatem held up the Stenographers' end
in the first half. with Scott doing great
work in the closing session. After a
seesaw spell of playing to this last min

with free throw Amid great cheering

Lamberton Has Queer Form.

The college representatives among the
new men are Lamberton, Mclaughlin and
Mitchell. The first mentioned has been
displaying one of the queerest modes of
delivery ever seen at Georgetown. He
takes long time to wind up, and when
he does let the ball go it is with quick
snap which is utterly surprising. While
this may be a detriment to him with men
on bases, it should be confusing to the
batter and may make him a valuable man
if he can combine accuracy with it.
Mitchell's work has created a favorable
impression. He halls from Los Angeles,
where he played on the same team as
did Bill Carrigan, the Hilltop foot ball
and track star. Slight of build. Mitchell
is yet strong. and with experience should
be able to develop into a worthy slab
artist. Mclaughlin has been troubled
considerably by rheumatism in, his limbs
and hence has done very little real work.
Capt. Sitterding announced Yesterday
that if weather permitted he would try
to get some of the candidates for other
positions out on the field the latter part
of the week to work the stiffness
from them. 1t is. certain that they will
have to report next week at the latest.
If weather prevents outdoor work, then
they will be required to practice some fin

TRAINERS TABLE OF
HILLTOP TWIRLERS

Although one week of indoor training
is hardly a very safe criterion to judge
the strength of base ball pitchers by, yet
the way the candidates for the Blue and
Gray varsity nine have handled them
selves during the past week in Ryan gym
nasium, coupled with a knowledge of
what they have done in the past, makes
it pretty certain that in the box the Hill
toppers will be again strong for many
seasons to come. The inflow of promising
new material certainly seems to be of
sufficient size to make up for the handi-
cap suffered last spring. when practically
the whole veteran pitching staff was lost
at one time, while the form most of the
new ones are displaying marks the ma
jOrity of them as men with more than a
little practical experience.
The work during the last seven days
has, of course, been light the object being
simply to bring the men up gradually until
all their first stiffness is gone. At the
same time, though, they have been allow
ed enough freedom from restraint to let
them send over few each day with
speed. Curves have been entirely tabooed.
Despite the absence of the latter, how
ever, the twirling has been more than a
mere game of tossing and has displayed
more or less the comparative ability of

Balzer Reports.
The reporting of Heinie Balzer yester-
day afternoon completed the roster of
veterans who are available. Wymard and
O'Conor having been on the list for the
past week. These three claim to be in
better condition than ever before. O'Conor
looks especially good, his delivery being
much more graceful than it was last
year He is trying to throw overland a
good deal, and as a result of his attempts
is annexng more concealed method OF
sending the sphere away from his body.
Wymard has all kinds of speed. His
arm Is feeling a great deal more flexible,
and according to both coach and captain
he seems to be developing control Bal
ger has not done enough tossing really to
allow line to he got on his arm, which
bothered him considerably last spring. He
thinks. though. that the old soreness has
entirely left him, and he is looking for a
good year.

Greenland shark continues to feed
while his head is pierced by a harpoon
or by a knife, as long as the nervous
center is not touched.
A Norwegian antarctic explorer, H.
J. Bull, gives a startling word picture
of sharks tenacity of life. This man
eater was caught at the Iceland cod
fishery; his liver, heart and internal
arrangements were removed, so as to
put a period to his career, and the
thus mutilated body was then cast
into the sea.
The shark is comparatively clumsy
in his movements, and is compelled to
turn over in order to seize his prey,
and his many enemies are not slow in
awaiting themselves of these peculiari
ties. In 1889. In 1889 Captain Frazer
of the bark Thomas S. Stowe, when
100 miles west of the Galapagos isl.
ands, caught a shark which had been
carrying about in its body the weap-
ons of offense of two swordfish The
latter class of sea jewellers are plucky
fighters, and occasionally break off
their swords in the body of an oppon-
ent who would perhaps rather flee
than fight.
An early missionary to the South
Sea Islands, a Mr., Ellis, was Journey
ing in an open boat which was endang-
cred by the unwelcome attentions of a
ravanous shark. The shark seized the
blade of an oar and shook the keel OF
the boat in an effort to capsize it. A
boatman grasped the tail of the finny
enemy and the other members of the
colored crew assisted in dragging the
shark into the boat, where it was dis.
patched.
Sharks often attain to great size on
the coast of southern California. In
1906 apparently the largest on record
