The Remark That Caused Booth 10 Play HsmIe
(5y E. J. Edwards.)

One OF the famous American theatrical mana
gers OF yesterday was William Stuart who died
In the early eighties OF the last century. Twenty
years before that he had been manager OF what
was then unquestionably the leading theater OF
America-the Winter Garden. in New York City.
There appeared almost all OF the leading actors
and actresses OF the time. among them Edwin
Booth. whose productions OF Hamlet" and other
Shakesperean plays upon the stage OF the Winter
Garden. beginning in 1863. were "famously sue

MANAGER HAGGERTY
PREPARING GOOD
SPRING SCHEDULE
Georgetown Will Play Ma
tionals on March Twen-
ty-seven.

While basketball is in full swing a,
Georgetown. the ambitious Lou C. Hag.
Serty, manager of the baseball club, IL
wide awake, and is showing himself
tic be one of the best managers that has
ever represented this institution. He IL
preparing splendid schedule with some
of the best colleges in the country.
Up to date, the most important booked
are: March p, Washington American
League team: on April 3, University OF
Vermont. Two games are scheduled
with Princeton, one for April and
the other for April s. Harvard has been
given April l6. Yale will be met in
two games, one here and the other in
New Haven April q.
- Before the season opens Manager
Haggerty will almost have the entire
group OF good Eastern mines upon his
schedule. Many games are scheduled
with Southern mines.
Coach Jim Springman expects to
start his athletes early in February,
and by March expects them to be in
fairly good condition for the Washing
ton game. A great deal is expected of
Springman, as he will have complete
control of selecting the nine. The ma
terial Is plentiful, and a splendid ag-
gregatfon is expected to represent the
university.

Hecox Suggests Cutting
School Games to Five

Much discussion among followers of
the high school gridiron has been
caused by the announcement that a new
idea has been launched to cut the num-
Der Of football games on the interscho-
lastic schedule from ten to five con-
tests.
Clarence Hecox, the Technical High
School coach and instructor, is credited
with the new idea, which is to divide
the games into two sections, which
would embrace three games between
Eastern. Western, and Business, one
game between Central and Technical,
and a game between the winners In the
two sections. Mr.. Hecox figures that
such proposition would reduce the
expense Of running the interscholastlc
series. as well as increase the attrac-
tiveness of the contests. Another fea-
ture would be that one of the teams
that Is invariably among the weaker
three would have more OF a chance to
win the championship.
1t Is pointed out that the receipts
from one game are not sufficient to Off
set the expenses. which are in the
neighborhood of $50, and 1t Is thought
that If five games, instead of ten, were
played, the same amount OF money
would lie taken in. while the expenses
would be diminished by SO per cent.

Manager Doom declared that he is

Giants Refused Money
Advanced to ROOters

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.-The National
Commission in a finding handed down
yesterday, refused to reimburse the New
York National League club for money
that was refunded by the club to pa
irons for tickets that did not reach them
through the mail for the recent world
series games or through a misdirection
of some kind.
The commission held that inasmuch as
the New York club had full charge OF
the sale of tickets it must stand for
any expenses incurred in satisfying its
patrons. The club asked for S342.5O In
cluded in this sum was claim of $3.50
for five patrons, each Of whom held a
numbered ticket for which there was
not a corresponding seat. The commits
sion agreed to allow this small claim,
and will pay it out of its general fund
rather than assess all the players and
clubs that profited by the series.

Ebbetts to Strengthen
Infield of Superbas

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-President
Ebbetts has started out to strengthen
the infield of the Superbas for next sea-
son, and hopes with a little more luck
to place the team in the first division.
The new man who is depended on to
help toward this end Is Barney Reilly,
whose work with the st. Joseph team
last season stamped him as the best
man In the Western League. Ebbetts
purchased Reilly late last summer. but
has only now made up his mind to give
the Western star a tryoIt, and Reilly
has been notified to report for spring
practice wifi the Brooklyns. Reilly,
who made a name for himself in base
ball while playing on the Yale team
went to st. Joseph In 1910. He studied
law in His spare moments, and is now a
~ nnnsidered quite an aeouisition io
the Brooklyns.

Light Attendance at
Chess and Checker Club

The attendance last night at the
Capital City Chess and Checker Club
was comparatively light, due undoubt-
eddy to the fact that the last shop
ping night before Christmas coincid
ed with an OF night in both tourna-
ments. There were times during the
afternoon and evening when no more
than eight or ten players We're to be
seen at the tables. The past week,
however, has been a most strenuous
period, during which more than
twenty games have been played in
the Kings gambit tournament. and
two complete rounds in the club
championship tournament
Wootton and Shade are leading in
the former. each with a clean score
of seven consecutive victories. They
have still to meet some strong play
ers, however, so no definite forecast
can be made at present as to the final
results.
In the championship tournament
Walker and Napoleon have won two
games each, making them tied for
first. In the first round Walker won
from Pratt, Zapoleon from Mundelle.
Peet from Webster, and Lowell beat
Adams. In the second round Walker,
Napoleon, Mundelle and Webster won
respectively from Roberts, Peet,
Adams. and Pratt.
A continuous handicap tournament
will be started January l. The play
ers will be classified and will have
to give odds to players in lower
classes. Prizes will be awarded every
three months. Among those who
have announced their intention of
playing in the checker tournament.
which Will start soon, are Fafquhar,
and Grove.

TIGERS WILL HAVE

S[UGG|NG FIELDER
Jennings Will Put Through

DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 24-Hank
Perry. the crack smuggling outfielder of
the Providence Grays OF 1910, who hit
the pill for .343 last year in 40 games,
will adorn the left garden for the Tigers
next season, as soon as Hughey Jen-
nings can get on his feet and arrange
for the transfer. Perry was rarmed out
to the Providence club last spring by
the Boston Red Sox. and John I. Tay-
lor cut the string in midseason. This
makes it possible for the Tigers to oh
tain him for Del brakes place in the
outfield.

resembles him at the bat. He swings
hard at the. ball, driving out wicked
liners just above the heads OF the in
fielders. 1t Is expected that Fred Lake
will trade Perry for a couple of play
ers now on the Tigers roster.

Roper Says Princeton
Won't Enter Regatta

PRINCETON, Dec. A.-W. w. Roeer,
graduate director of athletics at Prince

the Tigers will not take part in any
Of the outside rowing regattas during
the coming year.
Ever since Princeton made such a IA
vorable impression in the triangular re-
gatta with Cornell and Yale, those who
were anxious to have Tiger crew COM
pete at Poughkeepsie or at New Lon
don have been boosting toward this
end.
Mr.. Roper's announcement, however,
Will end all this talk. This does not
mean that the Tigers will not, In a few
years, enter one of the big races Just

call upon for rowing But If Princeton
continues 10 show well in rowing on

II Is also practically certain that the
Tigers will enter crew In the Ameri-

ORANGE AND BLUE
EXPECTS VICTORY
OVER GR|FF'S TEAM
Has Seven of Last Years
Nine Back for
Service.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Dec. "a
Virginia looks forward to having a
strong nine next year, and counts on
defeating the Washington Americans
in the exhibition games here. Seven Of
last years team will be on hand for
practice, including Eppa Rixey, who
figured in two no-hit games last year,
twice defeating Georgetown. Wilmer,
the crack right-hander, will be missed
on the mound, though, and efforts will
be made to develop another twirler 10
replace him.
Back of the bat big Carter. the var
sity football guard, is expected to per-
form nooly, while Douglass should con-
tinue his good work of last season.
Among the promising youngsters here
are Shane, an infielder with a reputa-
ton with the Big Stone Gap team; Cam
mon, from Wythe county; Phillips, an
infielder from the Episcopal High
School, and several others of whom not

TO BRING PITCHERS
INTO FORM SLOWLY
Manager Griffith Will Take Great Care of His Mound
Recruits at Charlottesville Cornell Will Play
Nationals Here.
By SENATOR"

II intend to bring the pitchers
along slowly, but once the whole
squad reports it will be twice a day
and pretty hard work at that. We
have an arrangement with the Uni
versity of Virginia whereby we may
use the field In the morning and again
In the afternoon up to $3.50 o'clock. ]
Will order all of the pitchers to do
lots of running, but by cutting down
their daily practice / think I can
avoid the usual trouble about sore
arms"
This is the way Clark Griffith out
lines the spring training plans Of the
Nationals. Griffith seems to under
stand that his principal cause for
worry Will probably be his pitching
staff and in order to overlook nothing
that might help the box corps. he will
have his twirlers down a week ahead
and will take especial interest in the
development of the younger men.
"They tell me they have great
trainer at Virginia and while we will
appreciate anything they do for us. L
think that in Mike Martin we have
one of the best men in the business
l had him at New York and later at
Cincinnati and from what have seen
of his work In conditioning men,
believe that nothing~will be lacking
once we get to Charlottesville" is the
tribute to the new Nationals trainer
by his chief.
Griff Works Late.
Griffith was. at headquarters up to a
late hour last night. clearing up a lot
OF correspondence and answering Christ
mas greetings which he received from
every section Of the country.
One of the things he did yesterday
was to close a date with Cornell in
the preliminary schedule. Through a
misunderstanding Yale was scheduled
mere for April s, but the manager found
later that he had booked the Brooklyn
