CHASE SEES LITTLE
HOPEFOR ATHLETICS
Manager of Highlanders
Says They'll Have to
Hustle for Pennant.

For about five minutes last night
Washington was host TO half d dozen
baseball enemies on their way to Hot
Springs, Va. Hal Chase, the lightning

around factOtum of the New York
Highlanders, hoped off a car at the
Union Station 10 stretch his legs before
piling into a sleeper for the health
resort.
Five Clubs Have Chance.
There are at least five clubs with
chance for the pcnnant this season."
says Chase. The Athletics will have
to hustle for the flag this year. 1t
won't be handed over to them without
a stiff contest. We were hit by hard
luck several times last season, yet we
landed in second place. | expect TO 30
right at them all this year, and with
any kind of luck show that the Yankees
are good enough 10 land the flag.
Il expect the White SoX to give us
a whole lot of trouble. They are bet

The Tigers are always dangerous: the
Maps without Joss will not be formid-

The Phillies are sorry that a series
between them and the Nationals hasn't
been arranged. The Nationals will have
a chance to see the Doom crowd play

scheduled between them while the Nc

The Nationals will leave Saturday

Captain Mcbride has issued notice that
they VIII leave Saturday for Atlanta.
1t was originally intended that they re-

says the weather In Atlanta will be
more beneficial for them. So they are
hiking two days earlier.
We haven't played much baseball, -
says Captain Mcbride. but the course

It's folly TO attempt to dope any

Bill Otey did some easy pitching, but
he didn't try TO put anything on the

Amused By Fishermen.
The members of the Washington Ma

over the adventures of their fishermen
yesterday. Johnson and Walker fished,
and ished, and fished. They might have
been fishing yet, except that Germany"
Schaefer rang the bell. summoning them
to dinner
Clyde Milan, the crack gardener of
the Nationals, landed the best prize of

world for week or so.

Atlanta Weather Fine.

Atlanta, the goal of the Nationals
next Saturday, is already experiencing
fine summer weather Last Saturday a
full nine-inning game was played by
Georgia Tech candidates.
Wee Tommy Mcmillan, the Cincin-
natl infielder, played third base for the
winning team. He ) a former Tech
man. The field was n fairly good con-

as if the McAleeritcs aye going to Jump

Monte Cross a Magnate.

PHILADELPHIA, March Monte
Cross, manager of the Scranton team
and former star shortstop of the Ath-

Cross returned to this city from Steu-

with Cross in the purchase of the West

Raymond making good.

When Bugs" Raymond. the New
York pitcher, declared that he was to
retire as a bar blotter and assume the
role of a white ribboner, there were
many who yelled, That's what they all
say"
However. reports from Hot Springs
would indicate that the eccentric twirler
intends to stick to his promises. for his
work in the preliminary games has been
as good as has been done by any pitcher
at the resort.
II Raymond continues his good be-
havior, the Giants will certainly he
strengthened for their battle
for the National League pennant.

Two eIevens dropped.

It is not surprising that Georgetown
should drop North Carolina and Wash
ington and Lee from the football sched-
uIe next fall as the addition of West
Point and the Indians means that the
list of games will be one of the most
attractive ever arranged for a hilltop
eleven.
Washington and Lee was a dissap-
pointment last autumn. while the only
regret over the absence of North Caro-
lima will be the fact that the Tar Heels
are coached by Branch Bocock. the for
mer Georgetown captain, and there are
many here who would like to see his
team in action.
The Washington times., 1911-03-01
Militiamen would play.

The anxiety of the National Guard
Basketball League to be considered with
Georgetown and the Y. NJ. c. A. in the
series for the championship is not Sur
prising.
While there are many who believe
that the guardsmen are not quite up to
the standard set bv the collegiars and
the association quint, any games for a
title should be open affairs, and if tine
series becomes d Triangular event the
militiamen will be strongly supported.
The entrance of the National Guard
would add to the interest in the contest,
and would tend to settle for all time
the question Of superiority in the Dis
trict.

Can Cy Young come back?

Among fans in general the interest in
the career Of Cy Young next summer
will be watched with greater interest
than any other individual player.
Last year was the worst the Ohio
farmer ever experienced in his many
seasons on the diamond. BY many it
was thought that it meant his retire
ment, but. with characteristic determi-
nation, the grand old man of baseball is
about to enter another season confident
of regaining his position among the
most effective of pitchers.
That he will make good is the hope of
thousands. but that he will prove equal
to the task is the belief of but hundreds.

Swarthmore or Wesleyan
Will Take Pennsy's Place
in Relay Event.
STRONG ENTRIES FOR
INVITATION HURDLES
fremont Athletics and Washington
Grove Athletics Matched for
Club Championship.

Manager Wymard, or the Georgetown
track team, has arranged for either
Swarthmore or Wesleyan to take Penn's
place in the one-mile relay against Cor
nell Saturday night, as 1t is not likely
that the breach between those two in
stitutions will be healed over before
the games.
Either of these two teams are eX-
pected to give Cornell a close race, and
Manager Wymard thinks that nothing
will be taken from the attraction by
the absence of Penn's four.
One of the features of the meet prom
ises ito be the One-mile relay between
the fremont Athletic Club and the
Washington Grove Athletic Club for the
club championship of Washington. The
members of both these squads are de-
termfned to win. and have been prac-
ticing faithfully for the event.
Washington Boys Entered.

bring some of the best men in the coun-
try, with such athletes as Chisholm and
Platt Of Yale; Holiday, of Virginia;
Horrax, of Johns Hopkins; Edwards, OF

More Dates Desired.

Manager Duckett, of the Blandens-
burg baseball nine. has arranged a
pleasing schedule for the season, but
is anxious to add a few more Wash
ington and Baltimore teams to the
list. The same players are back who
held down positions last year, and
few changes are expected

Browns are strengthened.

AS the time for real baseball work
draws near, those despised st. Louis
Browns begin to loom up as a far more
formidable outfit than was ever ex-
pected.
To assert that the Browns will be
pennant contenders would be jest, but
at the same time 1t might be well to
consider the work that Bobby Wallace
has done in the short time he has been
manager before attempting to relegate
the club to the limbo of the American
League.
That deal with New York was a big
help, for 1t is now pretty generally con-
ceded that Bobby Wallace got the bet
ter Of Hal Chase or this particular prop
osition. First base will go 10 McCauley,
strongly touted youngster; Laporte
will play second, Wallace short, and
Austin third. Behind the bat Mig"

Make students study.

Pennsylvania Is experimenting with a
new idea in having appointed a special
committee with the sole duty of seeing
that football players meet the proper
scholastic requirement in their respec-
tive classes.
Every year Pcnn's gridiron squad has
been staggered by the loss of stars who
were depended upon to make the eleven,
but, by the new plan. 1t is hoped TO
overcome this handicap. The board is
composed of Carl Williams, the football
strategist: Andy Smith, field coach, and
Bob Torrey, former captain and ALL
American center.
\ few weeks before each examina-
tion this committee is to meet to con-
slider the report of each man who is
looked upon as a likely varsity candi-
date If the marks are satisfactory,
nothing is done, but whenever the re-
ports indicate that the man is not doing
as well as he should he Is called upon
and warned that unless he does his
work he need not expect to be taken onto
the training table in the fall In case
the man needs any coaching he receives
the benefit of volunteer student tutors.
The plan looks feasible, and should do
much to help the Red and Blue squads.

Sensible opinion.


In its opinion uphOlding the recently
enacted measure permitting baseball in
the State on Sundays, the Indiana su-
preme court takes the following COM
mon sense view of the situation:
THE wearing monotcny of daily
toll is overcome by a diversion of mind
no less than by mere respite from physi-
cal or mental labor. That baseball has
come to be one great American outdoor
game, engaged in by boy, youth, and
man, and that 1t is played out of doors
in every village, town and city, and that
1t Is engaged in both by participants and
spectators in an interesting way, and
that 1t trains the body to vigor and
activity, and, to a degree, the mind to
alertness, and that those witnessing it
for the time find it relief mentally and
physically from stress of intense life,
are facts known of all men, and of
which courts and legislatures cannot he
wholly ignorant.
Inc season OF baseball on account of
tne nature of the game and actual prac-
uces Is short, the players engage. but
halt or each day, and it cannot be said
tnat the legislature did not conclude thai
the welfare OF the players needed no
such restrictions on their natural TigbI
to pursue their work each day of The

Washington to Atlanta. He expects
to. have seventeen or eighteen men In
the party, exclusive of the rubbers and
the newspapermen.
Il expect the players to drift into
town tomorrow or the next day in order
TO be on hand to make an early start
said McAleer today. 'Of course, some
of them are sure to come in a bit late,
probably not before Saturday afternoon,
but we snail be prepared to make our
getaway on the 4:l5 Saturday afternoon.
Those players now at Hot Springs,
Ark, should report in excellent con-
dition for hard work and will un-
dOubtedly make the fresh ones hustle
a whole lot before the coming week
is out.
Real Test After Week.
For the first week practice games
will hardly be real tests. The pitchers
will not be allowed to overexert
themselves. Most attention will be
given to the proper conditioning of
the men. That's the principal work
for the first week.
"The second week will see some hot
practice games. The youngsters will
get plenty of opportunity to show
just what they can do. and l look for
some classy work in that direction.
at is idle now to speak of who will
play this or that position. That's just
dope. Only after I've had a chance
to try out the men will l make any
decisions.
FROM all I can gather the bunch at
Hot Springs are pretty near down to
form. That's good. for IL keeps every
body on edge when a nucleus can set the
pace"
