URGES SPRING
TRACK WORK FOR c. j.
Veteran Trainer Says That
Outdoor Running Would Be
Big Aid in Developing Team.

Bill Foley. the veteran coach of the
Georgetown track team, came out fiat
footed yesterday for the renewal of out
door track work at the hilltop school. In
an interview he claimed that it was next
to impossible to bring out the full speed
of runners without having them do some
of their work in the spring. and, according
to him. the Blue and Gray must again
take up outdoor meets if it ever expects
to achieve it's former prestige in that
branch of athletics.
While there is no doubt but that Foley
in the two years he has been coaching at
Georgetown has done more than can be
estimated toward the building up of
formidable field and track organization,
it must be admitted that much greater
fruit would come from his labors If IT
was possible for him to keep his charges
in hand during the spring months. IN
this way he would have them under MS
supervision twice the time he does now
and would also have a chance 10 push
them to the utmost in the open, Wnefe
their efforts would count much more
than they Go under cover.
What Foley is advocating most IS 'he
re-entrance of Georgetown into the rem
relay carnival and the annual games az "
the T. c. A. A. A. A. He would also IKE
to see a dual meet with Virginia III these
three events could be held, he claims that
the youngsters would train much inole
seriously and that many more canuluates
would try out In this way both the size
of the squad and the quality of the ma
terial would be benefited.
Should Foley show that his work TINS
winter has been of more than ofulnal
advantage Nv the good performance OF
his charges in the coming meets. IT Is
very likely that his appeal for outdoor
track work will be granted. The sentl-
ment among the undergraduates is 1or
Ire renewal and it will only take cou-
Mo of victories to change that sentiment
into action. Accordingly the events
which occur In the coming month may
turn the tide OF favor in Foley dlrec-
ton. and his confessed ambilon OF asalh
heT;np an outdoor track squad at George
town may become realized.

PHILADELPHIA. February 9-In a
cyclonic fight Knockout Brown made
Lightweight Champion Wolgast look like
a raw amateur in six-round bout at
the American A. c. last night In every
one of the sessions Brown was the mas
ter of Wolgast and gave him the worst
trouncing he ever has had,
1t was a fierce battle between fight
ers Wolgast could not solve the per-
picking style Of fighting that Brown
used, and the man who took the cham
pionship from Battling Nelson was a
badly battered and bruised fighter at
the end of the bout
Wolgast Weak at End.
From first to last in every one of the
rounds Brown smashed Wolgast all over
the ring. The confident smile that VOL
CAST wore during the early rounds soon
faded away, and in the last two rounds
he was 'ailing." In his rage he used
unfair tactics to turn the tide in his
favor. He did everything foul to Brown
he could resort to- But his back heel
ing with glove and foot failed to bring
forth the desired result
1t was in the fifth round that VOL
CAST stepped within the portals of de-
feat. With smashing, crashing blows
to the face and stomach, Brown made
Wolgast reel around the ring. 1t was
then that victory came toward Brown
on the gallop.
In the last round, with a hurricane
of blows, in which storm of hooks and
hail of jabs hurt Wolgast, Brown
made Wolgast hold on for dear life.
Only once, in a part of the fourth ses-
sion, did Wolgast show to advantage.
but then Browns terrific body blows
began TO tell.

young blood to the White Sox ranks.

team. If these pitchers can ueilver up
to their best form there is no DOUBT that
Hugh Duffy will have a contender IN the
race, but the team needs the highest
kind Of pitching to make good. for 1t Is
not strong either extensively or defen-
sively. This is particularly true or It's
outfied.
The Maps appear to have plenty Of good
fielders and hitters. but they lack a wise
head or two behind the bat. Having
mostly young pitchers. they are sure to
miss competent handling from behind the
bat, and this will be sure to prove
handicap.
But what a wonderful team could be
made out by picking the best players
of the two. for where one is lacking the
other is strong.
In addition to the great supply of talent
that Clarke Griffith has signed for his
Cincinnati team. he has two players who
will only be used in emergencies. and
who will not be regulars on the team.
They are Ernie Diehl and Emil Habener,
who refuse to play professional ball. but
who have civic pride enough to agree to
help out the Reds whenever the condi-
lions may demand their services. Haben-
err is a catcher as big Mclean. who
could hold his own in any company, but
his business interests do not allow him
to play ball Diehl can play either the
in or outfield, and has already helped
several teams to win pennants \ few
years ago he jumped into the hole caused
by an accident in the Toledo team and
led the association with the stick. He
has also helped out Pittsburg and Louis
vile. but this year will do the bidding
of Griffith whenever it is necessary for
him to call for help.
So it would seem that Griffith Is better
fortified with mai erial than any club in
the league. and he will probably need all
the players he can get hold of before the
season is over for present indications are
that it is going to be a warm fight in the
old league.
Nap La joie is always figured among the
unsuccessful managers because he failed
to land pennant for the Cleveland club
during the several years that he was at
the helm there. But. when one sizes up
Lajoie's record as a manager it is found
that he had the Maps in the pennant fight
most of the time. In fact. he seems to
have made better showing than any one
whenever the failures in managerial
way are mentioned, Lajoie heads the list
for some unaccountable reason.

Now, to a simple citizen like James Kelvin Count Kassimir was an objec- tionable character in general and a fugitive from justice in particular, for the assaulted reporter had obtained warrant, not valid in Bayside, which is across the state line. The idea of Kassimir's singing in St. PauTs church was very painful; but, on the other hand, there was Mrs. Harwood to be considered Mrs. Harwood had come forward in the midst of the church's misfortunes, which had been many. First the old wooden edifice. which had stood forty years, had burned flat to the ground; then the new church, built on another plot, had run foul of flaw in the title, which had cost much money to straighten out, and finally a quicksand, discovered too late under a corner of the foundation, had entailed a disheartening expense. Mrs. Harwood had given some money and had loaned the balance, and she had had her way ever since. wherefore MT. Kelvin went to his pastor with troubled brow.
 "As to this-er-Count Kassimir," said he, "what is your opinionf"
 Winslow was silent for full twenty seconds, and then he answered grave ly: ...t

 It was rumored about the town next day that Winslow had refused to let Kassimir sing in the church and that Mrs Harwood was determined upon

THE TALE OF WONDROUS LOVE
By THEODORE H. BoICE.

By THEODORE H. BOICE. Down through the cycles hoar with age, Through all the years of storied time. Has come the tale of wondrous love Shown forth in sacrifice sublime The story of the Christ who came
 And for time grief's burdens bore, Who felt the bitterness of death
 And rose to live forevermore. He came to lift a fallen race
 Borne down by sin and grief and care. He opened wide the door of hope
 For those who groped in dark despair. He wiped away the mourners' tears And gave them eyes of faith to see The pearly mansions for them reared And theirs for all eternity. For sinful man he gave up life,
 And on the shameful cross he died. The crowning sacrifice of love
 Through ages to be glorihed. He broke the seal and bonds of death And rose in triumph from the grave. He reigns again as King of kings
 And welcomes those he came to save And so with eyes of faith we look
 Beyond the shadows of the tomb And see the pearly mansions gleam
 Beyond the intervening gloom. We see the dear ones who have crossed The vale and reached the heavenly goal. And thought of fond reunion there
 Is giving comfort to the soul. Rejoice and let all hearts be glad!
 Let sorrows tears be wiped away. Join in hozannas to the Lord,
 Who rose from night to endless day, For he has triumphed over death.
 And he has opened wide the door To that bright realm of endless life,
 Where loved ones meet to part no more.

Mrs. Harwood came to the church in the late afternoon in high dCdgeon and demanded an apology for the mistreat- ment of her guest. Mir. Winslow was extremely courteous and pacific, but he would not express any regret for what he had done.
 '"The man was abusing the horse," he said. II was obliged to interfere. and did so as gently as possible"
 None of the Harwoods. none of the villa set. attended the Easter service in St Paul's. but the congregation was the largest that had gathered in the church within two years.
 On the Tuesday following MT. Wins low called at the Kelvin house in the evening.
 "I have received word from Mrs. Morton Harwood," said he. that she has withdrawn from St. PauPs, at least for as long as I remain pastor. In these circumstances 1 think it best for the purpose of expressing our sim cere sense of obligation to Mrs. liar wood for her many benefactions to the church and our regret at her with drawal and also for the purpose of raising immediately the money to re- pay her advances"
 Kelvin was staggered.
 Gan we do it?" he gasped.
 ''Mr. Kelvin" said the pastor. we must This church is dying of depend ence. I have studied the situation thoroughly. and that is what is the. matter.
