WILL ELECT CAPTAIN
NEXT TUESDAY
Georgetown Foot Ball Team to
Select a Leader for
q Next Year.

Next Tuesday. provided the plans of the
executive committee OF the athletic as
sociation at Georgetown do not miscarry,
there will be meeting called for the pur-
pose Of awarding the foot ball letters for
this season. after which the men who are
to wear the Co. will elect the captain of
the gridiron warriors for 1912. The Sc
lection seems to rest between Costello
and Hegarty. Both candidates for the
leadership have starred on the Hilltop
eleven for the past two seasons and both
were selected by sporting critics for
places on the All-South Atlantic team in
1910 and who are almost certain to be
chosen again this season.
Whichever of these stars is elected II
is certain that the Blue aid Gray cohorts
will have a man capable of filling the
shoes left vacant by the graduation of
Capt. Daley.
With the experience which the players
have acquired during the past season. it
seems certain that Georgetown will con-
tinue to maintain the pace which the two
elevens under Capt. Daley have set.
Within the next week a banquet will be
rendered to the men who made up this
years squad. which win mark the passing

Kid EIberfeld may be the manager of
the Providence team of the Eastern
League next season. The Washington
club has offered Elberfeld to that club
and the chances are that negotiations VIII
soon open between the two clubs.
Elberfeld would undoubtedly be pleased
with the position, for it would give him
a chance to make a reputation as man
ager.
The Providence team was managed by
Jimmy Collins early in the season, but
he finally turned the leadership over to
Jakey Atz, a Washington boy, who for
merly played with the White Sox. The
team was not success, and this would
give EIberfe.d chance. With a minor
league team to handle Elberfeld would
be sure to prove valuable man. He
knows the game from A to Il. and would
be able to add strength to the team by
playing third base.
The local club will make an effort to
make an arrangement whereby it will
have the pick of the Providence team in
exchange for Elberfelds release. though
If this cannot be arranged cash will be
received for the veteran player.
Jack LeIivelt may realize his ambition
to become a first baseman. now that he
has been released to Rochester. Man
ager Cancel who loses Spencer. will need
a first baseman and Lelivelt wants to
play in that position. He does not e
lieve that he was cut out for an outheld-
err. but with his ability as a hitter estab-
lished, he figures that he can develop
into star first baseman and some day
return to fast company.
While the real base ball fan doesn't
care much as rule what the magnates
do in their indoor base ball, this month
nevertheless is looked to develop many
interesting points both in the Nauo- al
and American Leagues. This is the month
for the annual meetings. The election of
a president for the old league is in order,
but there is no promise of any quarrels
or chickering's this year. Those well post
ed say Tom Lynch will be reelected.

BY n. c. BYRD.

The intent Of the rules governing ath
letics in the local high schools were un-
doubtedly violated in the playing Of the
Technical-Central game yesterday. There
is every reason to believe the real reason
for the desire to play the contest on the
part of the schools was to play off the tie
which existed in the regular high school
series. rather than the expressed desire to
aid the Fairgrounds.
There was one good feature to the game
played yesterday, and that was the fact
that the money received at the gate goes
for q worthy cause, although before and
while the contest was going on 1t is Ques-
ionable If anybody connected with the
two elevens ever thought of the play
grounds association. There was one feel
ing predominant among the partisans Of
the two schools involved, and that was
the chance that the team with which
they were connected had to win from
it's rival, and thus in reality win the
championship this season. That was just
what was decided. In the other game
between the two schools there was little
to choose, but yesterday Central clearly
demonstrated its superiority.
~
played of according to the rules which
and yet that was undoubtedly done yes
terday. In other words something which
Is forbidden by the code which governs
the game was showed through under an
other pretext. In fact, it is very ques-
tionable as to whether the two schools so
much desired to aid the Fairgrounds as
they did to play off the tie for scholastic
honors which existed between them.
While technically and officially the cham
pionship for this year will not be de-
ciared as being won by anybody, to all
purposes and the satisfaction Of at least
one of the schools involved it had been
decided and Central will get the credit for
having the best eleven in the series.
The right or wrong OF playing the game
yesterday is not questioned, but the pre-
cedent established is open at least to de-
bate. Athletics in the high schools are
conducted Tor the primary purpose of fur
thering the mental and physical develop
ment of the students, and even though
the idea OF benefiting the Fairgrounds
was the only reason for playing, 1t is
exceedingly doubtful if 1t is wise thing
to allow anything that savors of COM
mercialism to enter into the general ath-
letic scheme.
The fact remains no matter what may
have been the real end desired in play
ing the game. that one of the rules in
which the principals must have concurred
was violated, and In a great many quar-
tiers much sentiment has been expressed
against such a policy. it being held that
unless rules are made to be enforced they
should be left unmade.
The contest yesterday demonstrated
something which the regularly scheduled
game between Tech and Central did not,
and that was the superiority of the Cen
trail eleven Against It's defense the Tech
meal eleven could do nothing. Only at
times were the Tech backs able to gain
ground against the forwards of the Gen.
trail eleven, and it was seldom that the
secondary defense Of the Blue and White

MAY NOT ERECT SHELTER.
District Commissioners Exceeded Au-
thority in Giving Permit.

After granting permission to the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company to
erect portable shelter on the southeast
corner Of Georgia avenue and Upshur
street, the District Commissioners today
decided to revoke the permit on the
grounds that the location authorized for
the structure Is within the limits of a
federal reservation.
The railway company was notified De-
cember that it could erect the shelter.
In applying for the permit the company
stated that it intended to put in operation
a combined schedule of the 9th street and
Brightwood lines, and that In order to
properly control the movement Of the
cars it would be necessary to station a
starter at the intersection Of Georgia ave-
nue. and Upshur street. 1t was stated
that 1t would be necessary to provide the
starter with some kind of shelter and
that a structure four feet wide by six
feet long would answer the purpose.
Following their decision TO grant the
permit. the Commissioners received a
number of protests from citizens. calling
attention to the fact that the proposed
structure would occupy government
observation. The matter was investigat-
ed, with the result that the Commits
sioners decided that they were without
authority In granting the permit and that
1t should be revoked.

Court Without Jurisdiction.

A decree was entered today in the SUI
preme Court of the District of Columbia
disInissing the suit of Rebecca Ord Pc
shine against Henry l.. Stimson. Secre-
tary of War, for want of jurisdiction.
Mrs. PeShine asked an injunction against
the Secretary of War, his officers and
agents, from trespassing on or otherwise
interfering with certain lands claimed by
her i'm the city of Monterey, Cal, which
had been occupied by the United Stat es
government as e military reservation
since the Mexican war. The decree dis
missing the suit for want of jurisdiction
is based on the theory that the courts
of the District of Columbia have no jur-
to enjoin the trespass on lands
in other Jurisdictions, where the principal!
question at issue involves the title to such
lands, which question can only be tried
in the state where the land is situated.

MACHODOC CREEK NAVIGABLE.
Upper Part of Stream Will Take
Boats of Seven Feet Draught.

portant tributaries of the Potomac, from
which section come quantities of poultry,
eggs, fruit, potatoes. grain and other
farm products for the market here, is
now navigable it's entire length to YES
sells drawing seven feet of water, and it
is expected that the steamers plying on
the Potomac Will extend their trips to
Milford landing in the early spring. For
the past twenty years or longer efforts
have been made by the farmers living
along the creek and the river transporta-
ton companies also to have the deepening
of the stream included in the annual riv-
er and harbor bill, but it was not until
about two years ago that Representative
c. C. Carlin, from the Alexandra district,
succeeded in getting the measure through
The contract for the work was placed
with the Minor Engineering Company,
and for the past year the dredge Gray
Eagle has been employed in deepening
the waterway. The work was completed
about two weeks ago and the dredge was
to have gone from Upper Machodoc creek
to Aqua creek, Va, to start work on
that tributary Of the Potomac. but cold
snap forced the laying up of the dredge
until spring in Upper Machodoc. For
many years the river steamers have been
landing at Brick House and Berry's
wharves, in the mouth of the creek, and
about two years ago the steamer Trenton
a hght-draft boat, started trips to NIL
ford. but she was withdrawn from this
service last spring.
In addition to cutting channel about
seven miles up the creek a basin a hum
dred yards across has been constructed
at Milford, SO that the larger steamers
will have ample room to be turned around
before starting down the creek for the
Potomac. In addition to the landings
named there are half dozen other
wharves on the creek. 1t is expected that
improved steamboat service will do much
toward the rapid development of the
lower end of King George and the upper
end of Westmoreland counties, in Vir-
ginia.
