Candidates for crew.

A Cornell alumnus was telling me yes
terday that he believes the principal
trouble with football at Ithaca is the
fact that as soon as a man who looks
like an athlete enters college he Is
grabbed up for the crew, and football
suffers accordingly.
Coach Courtney, whose word is law
at the institution on the banks of Cay
uga, is much adverse to his oarsmen
playing football, and the explanation
seems we'll founded. To make the var
sity crew is one of the highest honors
at Ithaca, and. in view of the reverses
which the eleven always suffers on
Thanksgiving Day at Franklin Field,
it is not surprising that when a man
has his choice between the gridiron and
the boat house he should decide to
WELD a sweep instead Of punting
pigskin.

as prizes is a wise one.
Although there has always been a GER
tain element in the organization that
has opposed the administration Of Sec
retary Langtry. developments have
shown that this official has inaugurated
a number Of reforms that have proved
beneficial to the congress. In order to
wipe out the deficit that has annually
piled UP, Secretary Langtry worked up
the idea of giving but 66 2-3 per cent of
the fees, instead of so per cent, as here
tofore, as prizes.
This plan should place the congress
on a more substantial footing than ever
before.

Vote for Sunday baseball.

Kansas, that State of cyclones and
sockless legislators, has gone on record
in favor of Sunday baseball
After a lot of agitation the matter
finally was brought before the house,
and 1T was decided, by So to 5S, to enact
no laws that will prohibit the game on
Sundays. This should act as a decided
boost for all the leagues that enter the
State, especially the American Associa-
ton, which will reap large revenues on
the first day of the week at Kansas
City.

The explanation of William o. Nc
Caffrey, Of the Eastern High School
basketball team, in which he assumes
personal responsibility for the trouble
with the Georgetown Props by declar-
ing that it was wholly through neglect
that there was a misunderstanding
about the date for a game, is convinc-
ing, and does much to remove the
animus that had arisen over the inter-
scholastic basketball situation here.
The indications now are that the
teams will come together on February

eide the championship Of the district.

Walter Johnson Ready.

One Of the distinct advantages which
Walter Johnson should enjoy during
the coming season is the fact that the
present winter is the first one since he
broke into the American League, when
he has had complete rest away from
the diamond.
johnson has always been such an ex-
celIent attraction. particularly away
from the American League. that each
season he has received large offers to
pitch for all-star and semi-pro teams
In spite Of the fact that he has always
ranked among the hardest worked of
al pitchers, johnson has accepted these
inducements with the result that he has

Plenty of wrestling here.

Amateur wrestlers of Washington can
have no complaint this winter on the
question of a suitable number of meets
in which they may match their skill
against men of their same weight.
Not only will the South Atlantic
championship tournament be held here,
at Carroll Institute, but. in addition,
there will be the bouts by the National
Guard Athletic Association next month.
The program, announced by Captain
Edwards today, shows there will be
bouts in every class and the prizes will
be so attractive that there should be no
difficulty in filling every event.
