Johnny Evers Ready
To Sign His Contract

CHICAGO, Feb. IO.-Johnny Evers will
not be a 'hold-out." On his arrival in
the city from Troy, N. Y, the second
baseman declared that at an early date
he would have a conference with Presi-
dent Murphy and sign up his 1911 con-
tract. There is one thing, however,
that Evers will persist in, and that is to
be allowed to remain here in Chicago
during the first two weeks of the train
ing in the South.
Il find that the hard spring trainir z
works poorly with me-" declared Evers.
II am not like some of the big men,
who need a world of work in a warm
climate to get in good condition, and !
find myself failing off early in the sum-
mer any time 1 train hard in the early
spring.
Evers' ankle is in good shape. While
at his home in Troy johnny went skat-
ing frequently to work OUT the bad
foot It is in perfect shape now, and
feels so well that Evers is thinking seri-
ously Of breaking the other ankle. The
Cub star is very much peeved over the
fact that he has been bothered of late
regarding that famous Fletcher check
for $780, Evers did take the check, but
in some way lost it. Recently he sent
the Cincinnati hackers of Fletcher a let
ter in which was inclosed release" SO
that the bank could refund the money.

Columbia to Extend
Rowing Privileges

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-With the be-
ginning of regular indoor crew practice
a. Columbia the directors of the Row
ing Club have made known a plan tn
extend rowing to more students in the
university. They have called for the
Boating of at least four good university
eights, and three freshmen combina-
tions. If necessary. they will hire an
assistant to help Rice coach the squad.
Columbia has never had an assistant
crew coach. although Rice in the last
two years has had the services of John
Schultz, of the Metropolitan Boat Club.
in the early part of the season. Schultz
took charge of the freshmen, SO that
Rice could give his entire time to the
major combination, but it was a labor
Of love on Schultz's part. Now the d.
reCtors have come forward with an
offer to retain a regular assistant IL
the undergraduates come out in suf-
ficient numbers to fill seven shells with
the kind of material that is worth de-
velOping. Races will be arranged for
all the crews. In fact, the preliminary
schedule for the season is more am
bilious than any of recent years.
There was a big mass meeting at Co.
lumbia, and the enthusiasm was so
great that the rowing club officers were
encouraged to launch their plan for
developing the sport. At bottom, 1t
aims 10 establish rowing as the fore
most sport at Columbia. Although the
chief preliminary races of the year are
yet to be arranged, there are several
contests already on the Blue and
White schedule. 1t is possible that the
first university crew will meet Har-
,,.I 1,a IL
and Princeton freshmen crews have not
yet been abandoned.
AS the schedule now stands, the first
race for the major eight will be with
annapolis on May 13. The interclass
regatta will be held on May 20, and on
that same day the freshmen crew will
race the Central High School of Phila-
delphia. On May q, the first freshmen
and the second and third university
eights will compete in the American
Henley at Philadelphia. These same
crews will also enter the Harlem re-
gatta on Decoration Day,

.GALLAUDET NAMES
WRESTLING TEAM
Grapplers to Participate In
Events Scheduled for
Next Week.

Captain Leon P Jones, II, OF the Gal
laudet College wrestling squad, has
practically decided upon his selections
for the team to represent the Kendall
Green institution at the coming mat
ory next week.
The following will participate in the
preliminsries of February Il: A. w.
Patterson O15D, Charles BlasSing Q2N).
Captain Jones G25), w. B. Mosey O35).
John Clesson and J. W. Gledhill QS).
Ralph Decker O55), Robert Conley
CheavyweighO.
OF the above list the college has four
veteran grapplers in the persons of Cap
tain Jones, Mosey, Conley. and Gledhill.
Mosey holds the lightweight champion
ship title of the South Atlantic division
of the Amateur Athletic Union, and his
many Washington friends will be glad
to know that the Wyoming cowboy is in
excellent condition to defend his title at
the coming meets. Conley, who won the
heavyweight championship of this Dis
trict at last years meet, should do much
better this time, as he was green man
last year, yet he surprised the mat fans
by pinning Jack Turner to the floor
within three minutes and clinehing the
District title.
Gallaudet rarely had less than two
wrestlers for every finals since the es-
tablishment Of the sport by Thomas
Williams at Kendall Green five years
ago, but has yet to win team honors.
In past years efforts have been made
to arrange dual wrestling meets be-
tween Georgetown University and Gal
Iaudet College, and If the managers of
both institutions can come together on
some date this year, the meet would be
a great attraction.

No Games With Phillies.

The proposed series of exhibition
games between Washington and the
Philadelphia Nationals has been call
ed off.
About two months ago President
Fugel. Of the Phillies, offered MCAleer
March q and IS in this city and the
deal was supposed to be closed. When
he commenced to figure on the time
il would take to get from Atlanta to
Washington, MCAleer realized that he
would be unable TO play here until
April l. The PhilliCs open their an
nual inter-lea que games with the
Athletics at Philadelphia on March
81, so there will be no opportunity
for fans here to see the National
Leaguers in an exhibition skirmish.
The cancellation of the dates will be
n decided disappointment to both clubs
The Nationals schedule, as 1t stood
was one Of the shortest of any major
league club ana the loss of two games
means the players will be robbed Of
much valuable ante-SeaSOn practice,
while the Phllies are already listed
with two American League teams and
were particularly anxious to get a
crack at another.
As matters now stand the Nationals
OF 1911 will make their initial bow be
fore the fans here on April l. with
Georgetown as guest at National Park.

second baseman, is at Hot Springs

Western intercollegiate
Golf Meeting Called

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-Charles Evans.
jr., the Western open golf champion;
Paul Hunter. and Ivan Webster, have
taken the initiative In the proposed re-
organization of the Western Intercol-
lege Golf Association and have called
a meeting for Saturday night.
Last season Evans asked for per-
mission to play in the Eastern inter-
collegiate event, and was turned down
and since that time the Western golf
ers have been angry, declaring they
have as much right to play for the ma
tional title as have the ESsterners. 1t
is one of their plans to have four semi
final men from the West play four
seni-final men from the East for the
championship.

Athletic Stars Use Ice
Cream AS a Stimulant

\%LEVELAND, Feb. 1O.-Tt used to be
that athletes, no matter whether a
baseball player, a horseman, track
man, or what not, indulgcd heavily in
bCcr and other kinds Of intOXicants
'rhe successful athlete sticks to the
soft drinks today, while ice cream has
become quite popular stimulant
among the athletic celebrities of the
country.
Pop Geers, the dean OF horse train
ers, for years has had a craving for ice
cream and he is known to be able To
average man Umpire Billy Evans is
another celebrity who has a leaning
toward the frozen dclicacy and gen
orally has a chip on his shoulder when
the subject Of ice cream eating is
brought mp. Billy believes that he can
cat as much ice cream as any man
living. At any rate he knows he holds
the record for umplrcs.
Bob TnElauh, of the Washington
team, established a record of seven
teen consecutive dishes OF ice cream in
the contest held last summer. The
.'cold lunch" was served in Washing
ton one hot night, in which several
ball players with parched throats were
invited to attend. They all quit but
T-nglaub and Bob kept ordering until
he emD+1ed seventeen dishes.
George Schneider, secretary of the
Cleveland Athletic Club, claims the ice
cream eating championship Of the grand
circuit. Having officiated as starting
Judge and auctioneer, two positions
where ones voice is strained and hts
throat becomes raw with constant
yelling, Schneider discovered that there
was nothing better to relieve the burn
ing feeling in the vocal organs than ice
cream, so he developed quite an apDe-
tite for the stuff. One night in 1903,
after a hard days work in the starter 5
stand at Kalamazoo, Schneider sug-
gested that an ice cream eating con-
test take place. A party consisting of
Dick McNahOn, w. L. Snow, Charley
Dean, and Schneider was formed and

DETROIT IS AFTER
HERMAN SCHAEFER
Jennings Would Like to Have National Utility nieder
AS Scout-Highanders Had Hard Time In
Landing Johnny Priest.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

Jennings, Navin & Co, commanding
the Detroit club, have put in a bid
for Herman Schaefer, who is wanted to
trek through the jungles in the hunt
for young Tigers.
SChacfer is willing, Detroit is anXi-
Gus. and all that is now needed is the
Word OF MCAIeen to make the National
utility man a regular scout for Dig
league material. The smiling Teuton
is funny but not foolish, and, realizing
that he has about reached the limit
of his allotted number of years on the
diamond, he has decided to look to the
future, in the hope that he will not
have to quit baseball entirely when
it comes to hanging up his uniform for
the last time.
The deal to make SChaefer manager
of the Lincoln, Neb., club failed, and
the player is now on his way to Hot
Springs 10 do preliminary work wltE
seven other Nationals and a COllecuon
Of players from all the other MAJOR
league clubs.
The optional contracts of d. A.
Fletcher the outlaw promoter, eX-
pire today, and a number of different
players will then be ready to sign

Motorcyclists Planning
District Tours in Spring

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-With spring
just over the horizon, district tours
are now being planned by the FEEDER
alton of American Motorcyclists.
These tours are not to be confused
with endurance runs or elimination
contests where exceptional skill and
physical ability in conjunction with
special mounts and trade resources
place a prohibitive handicap on the
efforts of the private owner. The
tours are to be just jolly good times
with plenty of sightseeing and easy
schedules over the best roads to
places of interest in the several
States. and with competitive sport as
q side entertainment.

Likes the Highlanders.

John Camel, who has been referred to
as the best manager in minor league
baseball, is of the opinion that the
American League race will resolve itself
into battle between the Athletics and
New York Highlanders.
Even supposing the two teams were
equal I could hardly convince myself
that club led by Hal Chase could ex-
pect to compete successfully against
team under the direction of Connie
Mack.
