SPRING PRACTICE
ABOLISHED AT G. ].
Football Squad Will Not Be
Called Out.

That Georgetown will have no spring
football practice this year has been def
nitely settled. Those in authority at the
Hilltop institution have decided that al
though it would be a great help In mold
ing a formidable eleven for next fall, the
difficulties to be encountered would be
too great In taking this stand. George
town no doubt has passed up an ex-
cellent opportunity to strengthen her
chances for again ba9ging the South At
lantic championship.
In the opinion of those who know the
football situation at Georgetown. lack of
knowledge OF the rudiments OF the game
was the principal cause Of the poor
showing on the gridiron in the past few
years. Last fall. under the watchfuI eye
OF Coach Nelson, the squad made rapid
strides in the direction of the large cal
iber article, and it was hoped that with
good spring practice the candidates
would improve materially over last fall.
April was thought to be the best time
to hold the practice, but that proved to
be the hitch. Some of the chief members
Of the football team are also candidates
for the varsity baseball team, this keep
ing them from the pigskin squad
1t would be impossible for these men
to join the football squad at this time,
and even though the practice were de-
ferred until later some of them will no
doubt land berth on the baseball team.
Expense was no small item in deter
mining the decision to have no spring
practice. II is apparent that to fit out a
squad Of thirty men would make a largo
hole in the treasury OF the athletic asso-
citation.
The news that Dick Robinson and Joe
Giebel have made good with Savannah
bears out the prediction made by tho
friends of these Washington boys that
they possessed the necessary essentials
to stand the pace in the South Atlantic
League.
Since the first reports of their actions
with the Southern club reached here, al
most daily news that either or both
have performed in a commendable man
ner has been received. Their future ca
reers Will be watched with interest by
fans in this city. who look for them to
attain a higher position in the baseball
world.

EPISCOPAL HIGH DEFEATED.
business High Takes Loosely Played
Game from Virginia Team.

Alexandria. Va. April l.-Business High
School OF Washington defeated Episcopal
High School here to-day. Z to 4. The
game was played in rain. snow, and sun
shine, resulting in numerous errors by
both teams.
The Episcopal lads started of in the
first inning by scoring two runs. but the
visiting team came right in the second
and tied the score. During the remainder
of the game. Buriey and McAleer had
everything their own way. and the losers
were helpless before their benders.
Business scored most of their runs from
timely hitting on the part OF Dodge,
who twice cleared the bases with slash
ing doubles to left. Flax also hit well
for the winners. securing two clean sim
giles. while Greene starred for the losers,
catching an excellent game. In the fourth
inning Burley succeeded m striking ont
the three men that faced him. Score:

EPISCOPAL HIGH
HAS CLEVER TEAM
Prospects Bright for Success
ful Baseball Season.

From present Indications the Episcopal
High School will have one of the strong
est baseball teams ever turned out by
this institution, and they will line VI
against some OF the best teams in this
section. 1t has been shown that they
will nave an exceptionally good nine this
year by the game last Saturday with
the Bliss Electrical School. in which they
defeated the electrical boys by the score
OF 10 TO l.
Although Green will do the bulk Of the
catching this season. McGowan has
shown ability to hold down the back
stopping job and will undoubtedly de-
velop into a first-claSs receiver.
The Episcopal lads have a strong trio
OF tWarlers in their pitching department.
Dusenberry. who is in his third year
now, has wonderful speed and a num-
ber OF shoots. He will undoubtedly do
the majority of the box work
In Withers and Cooke they have an
excellent pair of slab artists and the
high school boys should have a very sue
cessful year on the diamond Cooke was
playing with the Boys Latin School. OF
Baltimore, last year. while Withers was
on last years second team.
Buckle, who did the receiving on last
years second nine. will hold down the
initial sack and besides being noted for
his good hitting is fielding his position m
great style.
The middle. sack will be covered by
KinsOlving. who also played with the
second team of last year.
Capt Phillips will play shortstop in
stead of second base, the position he
held last year, and his hitting will help
his aggregation to win quite a number
OF games
The third bag will be well cared for
by Burnett, Craddock. and Massie Bur
nett seems weak with the stick. but at
the same time works better in the field
and throws more accurately than the
other two.
The outfield will be in charge Of Brown,
Darlington, Cronly. Harlan. Dennis, and
Spencer. Dennis is exceedingly strong
with the willow. leading the second team
last year. Spencer was captain and COW
cred the first sack for the Danville
school nine of Danville. Va. last season
and is a first-ClaSS player. From the
candidates for the outer garden they
should be able to get a good trio for the
field.

Examinations

New York, April 1--Following the poi
icy adopted at the winter meeting of the
magnates. President Thomas J. Lynch.
Of the National League. has subjected
his umpires to an eye test, so that in
dignant fans cannot justly accuse them
Of biunders during the coming season
In order to provide conclusive evidence
that the unpires' optics are free from
cobwehs, President Lynch made public the
following Official statement to-day:
Not long ago I issued orders to the
nine men on my umpire staff to have their
eyesight thoroughly tested. and / feel
more than grattfied with the outcome.
Good eyes alone, know. do not make
good umpires, but they are good UNI
pire's first and best asset
II have not taken it upon myself to
pass Judgment on these eye tests, with
their technical terms. but have sub
mttted them to DIR. Royal S. Copeland,
one of the most eminent oculists of New
York Gity. DR.. Copeland has carefully
studied the various tests, and has summed
them up in the following authoritative
and interesting report, which I give you

that so little interest was being taken

their statements by saying that unless
more men came out the pigskjns would

were on the qui vive to see what
would happen. But nothing did hap

has been the exercise for players so far
Monday the men will begin to play in
earnest, and several experienced players
will join the squad.
