The games committee of the Georgetown
| University indoor meet. which is to be
! held in Convention Hall Saturday night.
has run up against a snag of no small
proportions in classifying the relay teams
that are entered. More than forty quar-
tets from athletic associations, schools,
| and universities are on the lists, and out
of this medley there has to be matched
| fours that are as near as possible in
equal grades.
OF course, the Georgetown-Virginia one
mile Southern championship and the two
mile event between Yale and Princeton
will be the headliners of the evening.
| These were gotten together with no
trouble But the bomb that was cast
into the camp yesterday by the scrap be-
tween Cornell and Pennsylvania has COM
pletely upset all plans for these schools.
Up to a lac hour last night nothing def
mite had been done in regard to them, al
though by o'clock Manager Wymard
had already obtained two other big col
Iege teams to take their places in case
a settlement becomes impossible.
School Teams Matched.
Yesterday the games committee de-
cided to place the Georgetown Props and
Western High fours in one event, which
will be the biggest schoolboy race on the
card. For a long time these institutions
of the West End have been rivals of note,
and hence 1t is believed that their rep
resentatives meeting on the track will
cause more than passing interest.
Another scholastic battle that will bear
watching is a one-mile relay between
Episcopal High, of Alexandria, and the
Baltimore City College Both of these
quartets have been running very speedily
this winter, and there is very little choice
between them. They are also great
rivals.
1t IS hoped that the full classification of
the relays will be completed to-day, in
which case the papers will get them. to-
morrow. At the latest they will be an
nounced on F'ridey. Because of the large
number of events, many of the relay
races will be three-cornered, and some
even will have to start with four teams
at the mark. This is made necessary be-
cause of the vast number entered in all
of the other events on the programme,
many of which will require more than
the usual quota of heats and semi-finals.
For the benefit of those not fully in
formed on the manner of counting the
points, Manager Wymard announces that
first place will count five points, second
will count three. and third will count one.
All or the open and handicap events and
the fifty-yard collegiate will count for the
trophy, novice events and schoolboy
races being excluded.

unexpected result of the worlds series.
The Cubs didn't have any license to win
it, but they should have copped several
more than one game.
And the st. Louis Browns They were
rotten, of course, but not nearly as rotten
as their standing at the end Of the race.
What could you expect when their catch
ers handed out signs that blind man
could read, block away, with pair
of opera glasses?
''As for me, l agree with Hughey Jen-
nings that, in the long run, a team loses
as much on the road as it gains at home
by the use of a signal service. Players
who. at home, get used to knowing every
thing the pitcher is going to throw and
every move of the base runners before
they make it. feel all at sea when, on
the road, they have to rely on their
own ingenuity again. Hughey leaves no
stone unturned, though, to protect his
signs, and the Tigers went through all
last year with the reputation of having
better burglar-proof plan of operating
than any club in the league. Part of the
credit was undoubtedly due to Schmidt
and Stannage. They gave signals with
their hands, their feet, their knees, their
eyes, and their teeth. Donovan and Null
lin used to give their own signs on the
Philadelphia and New York grounds.
Baseball Advances.
TT makes me laugh to hear old fogies
say that the science of baseball hasn't
advanced in the past fifteen years. Why,
a good signal pirate could take on one
of the old time champion clubs and show
his men how to make twenty hits every
day. besides tipping of in advance every
hit and run play they tried to make.
Crooked? Why. not particularly. It's
merely another element of hazard added
to great old game Just as soon as
the general idea gets around that a spy
glass is on every sign, some way will be
