GEORGETOWN AGAIN
BEATS CATHOLIC UNIV.
Blue and Gray Quint Shows
Marked Superiority for
Second Time.

Georgetown again showed last night
that there is no basket ball team among
the local colleges in the same class with
it when the Catholic University received
its second trimming at the hands of the
Hilltoppers by the score Of As to Is. While
the score would cause it to seem that the
contest as a walk-away, it was rather
Georgetowns good work than Catholic
University's poor playing that caused the
difference in the number of points scored.
Fully five minutes were played before
either side managed to get ball through
the rings. but after the first ten minutes
of play the goals came pretty fast for the
Blue and Gray five as the result of some
excellent teamwork. The floor was very
slippery and caused much slipping and
sliding on the part Of players. 1t un-
doubtedly slowed up the game consid-
erably.
The feature of the evenings play was
the all-around work of the Georgetown
team. The men played well together and
showed much better form than they did
in the contest with Gallaudet. They
played with more dash, handled and pass
ed the ball better, shot goals with more
accuracy and showed much improved
line of play in every department.
Catholic University played about up to
many points rolled up on it was because
1t was simply Outclassed. In all-around
work 1t put up the best game it has at
any time this year
Schlosser. Martin and Monarch were in
the limelight for Georgetown. while

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, February 2.-Prosperity is
the keynote among the American League
magnates. Otherwise, certain pillars of
the circuit couldn't foster the idea of pay
ing President b. B. Johnson ninth share
in the seasons receipts instead of a
salary. which was voted him at the 1910
meeting which he was rendered healthy
increase to go hand in hand with a
twenty-year term at the helm. The big
idea was unfurled by Charles Comiskey
yesterday just as Owner Benjamin Shibe
of the worlds champion Athletics was
leaving town after a conference with
President Johnson
The master of the Mackmen didn't miss
a trick while here. arriving in the morning
and steaming back in the afternoon
During his powwOw with Shibe President
Johnson selected February IA as the date

do the honors at his specially conducted
banquet. an annual affair engineered by
the head of the worlds champs.
Other base ball topics held Uncle Ben
attention throughout the day, but the
prize boomerang was freed by Comiskey
shortly before train time. when the "Old
Roman" took up the cudgel, urging his
fellow-magnates to count Johnson in on q
new salary basis.
LAS president of this league Johnson has
wrought wonders said Commy, land
there is lot of club owners who don't
realize the good fortune that has been
their lot during the eleven years Johnson
has occupied the chair. It's high time, to
my notion. that the eight club owners of
the circuit hit upon some plan whereby
Johnson, as league executive. should be
given ninth interest in the coin split at
the end of each championship season.
Certainly some reward is due him for
the fight he made in the war days and
has since continued to keep the league
in it's present state of prosperity

Blue and Gray Goal Tossers to
Play at Charlottesville.
Other Items.

The speedy basketball team of George
town University leaves tomorrow after
noon for Charlottesville where in the
evening it clashes with the quint repre-
senting the Orange and Blue of Virginia
in the first of the seasons series. Last
year these two teams tied in the series,
each receiving one victory, so that to-
morrow's contest will in a sense be one
for more than the evenings laurels as
1t will decide the year-old rubber.
The locals after last evenings game at
the Arcade seemed ready for further hos
tiities without any changes and hence
practice has been dispensed with for
this evening. The lineup will remain
practically unaltered.
The team will make the jump to
Staunton Saturday The Military
Academy Of that place is very anxious
to have the Hilltoppers play there Sat
urday evening and the invitation of the
cadets will be accepted. The team will
not return to this city until Sunday.

candidate for the track team. outside of
the four chosen for the relay, to the Bal
timore meet week from Saturday has
met with the entire approval of those In
terested in track athletics at the hilltop
school In this way it is believed that
chances will be made brighter for an

Sad Story of Pitchers.

Bender, they say. is all in, Plank is a
back number. Morgan went beyond his
speed and cannot come back. Russell is
not what was predicted for him. krause
is a flash in the pan, and Dygert is all
gone. This leaves only Coombs, and of
Big John they are confident that he cam
not repeat.
1t is a sad story and one to worry
about.
Connie will probably turn loose the
whole bunch at once in spite of the
fact that last year saw Bender do the
best work of his entire career. Plank
maintained high record of victories that
only fell somewhat back of his work of
previous years because the superb pitch
ing Of Bender, Coombs and Morgan re-
lieved Manager Mack Of the necessity of
working the southpaw so hard. Morgan
proved find and Coombs phenomenon.
But even supposng anything SO dreaded
should happen as that there should be a
slump in any of the seven headliners VINO
are intrusted with the Athletics pitching,
is there any manager in the country who
has shown better capacity for getting
twirlers than Manager Mack?
glance 1t the man who for ten years
has kept his team up in the race is the
best demonstration of the point. Only in
rare instances has he bought pitchers of
regulations gained them in trades.
Most of the noted twrlers are his own
manufacture. being either youngsters
whom he taught the game failures
with other clubs who learned the right
system with the White Elephants.
Only Russell and Dygert are exceptions
to this rule. They We're noted minor
leaguers. for whom a lot of other teams
were bidding, and in both cases Manager
Mack had to part with real money to
get them.

who filled the position for the Nationals
in recent years, SO that there is at least
one position better fortified than it has
been. The addition Of Ainsmith un-
doubtedly strengthened the catching staff,
and. figuring that one two of the old
pitchers will show improved form, the
acquisition of Tom Hughes should also
make the twirling department loom up
better.
1t is. of course. to be admitted that
that outfield looms up none too well, and
yet should Gessler come back and Le!i-
welt have nis health SO that he can be
played regularly it may be far from the
worst in the league.
It makes little difference whom Nc
Aleer picks to play first. for either Som
erlot. Henry or Lelivelt is sure to fill the
bill as well as did Unglaub last year.

TO MAKE PITCHERS
Gets Them in the Rough and Turns
Them Into Star Fingers.
DOES NOT FEAR OUTCOME
OF COMING CAMPAIGN
Manager of Worlds Champions Not
Worrying About the Future.
Pitchers He's Developed.

PHILADELPHIA. February 2.-Some
New York sporting writer's make an eX-
cuse of the e-coming Of Connie Mack
to venture the prediction that the world s
champions will fall down hard, and that
1911 will not see them within hailing
distance of first place at the end of the
season.
1t is somewhat startling prediction,
but the manner of supporting it is more
remarkable still
These birds of i'll omen admit that Con-
ME has a great infield, three-fourths of it
made of young players, and with young
sters ready to take the place of men who
are injured or slump in their work. They
also concede that the much criticised
catching staff has shown that it has the
goods; neither do they see any cause for
concern in the outfield.
Therefore in making their doleful
prophecies they are reduced to the pitch
ing staff. Here, in spite of the fact that
Mack is admitted to have the finest
bunch of fingers on any team in the
country. they put their finger on the
cause Of the predicted downfall.
1t is to laugh.
