H|L[TOPPERS SHORT
IN TWO DEPARTMENTS
Georgetown Base Ball Team
Has Few Left. Hand Batters
and No Good BunterS.

Work on the offense of the Blue and
Gray base ball team. which has been
mostly the order during the past week,
has brought out the fact that there are
but four left-hand batters on the heights
and an almost total lack Of any good
hunters. With such q woeful absence OF
material having these elements, the In
creasing Of the teams batting efficiency Is
almost at standstill and will probably
games brings forth some one who is In
the regular lineup and who at the same
time has more than a little bunting abil-
ity.
The absence of good bunter was the
cause Of Murphy being considered as Sec
ond man in the batting order. 1t has
now been decided to shift him to fourth
place and to try out some Of the poor
hitters in the second position on the list
in an effort to discover a dependable
bunter. Cogan, McGauley and Quinlan
are being coached especially in this de-
partment, and should any one Of the trio
show improvement as close-plate hitter
he will Immediately be showed forward
in the order.
The only regular player who is a left
handler at the bat is ex-Capt Murphy.
stick from the off-side OF the plate, while
two Of the pitchers, White and Dwinne.l,
have the same manner Of batting. This
means that in the majority of games the
HilltOppers will have but one left-handed
batsman in the lineup, and hence it is
certain that very few southpaws will be
sent to the rubber for visiting mines.

CHAMPION SWIMMER !.
EXTENDED TO LIMIT
c. N. Daniels Retains 100
Yard National Title by Mar
gin of Half a Foot.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Swimmins
enthusiasts at the New York Athletic
Club natatorium last night saw the unusu
al spectacle Of C. NJ. Daniels being forced
to the limit Of his speed to successfully
defend his title Of national 1OO-yard
champion. After trailing in third position
until practically the final two strokes
Daniels managed to win by q matter Of
the hardest race in the career OF the
New York A. c. national and Olympic
title holder.
AS p. McGillivray and II. Hebner of
the Illinois A. c. headed for the finish
line after making the last turn they were
churning the water strongly and frustrat-
ing every effort Of Daniels to pass them.
The western pair were on almost even
terms and nearly two feet in front Of
the champion. Forty yards more were
covered and still Daniels seemed unable
to gain on the pace makers. The title
holders supporters were beginning to
give up hope when Daniels made a last
squirting effort and crept up to his rivals.
Almost in the final second he drew up
alongside McGillivray and then touched
the line fraction of a second before the
Illinois swimmer.
McGillivray. Hebner and r. f. Frizelle
Of the Missouri A. c., the fourth man in
the final, all finished within three-ffths
of q second of the record. The time
SO 4-0. was only four-fifths Of q second
slower than the record held by Daniels.
Followers of the sport said that in no
previous race in this country have four
men averaged such fast time as was made
last night.

about this years trip, however, in that
the players will be kept south until few
Gays before the season opens and surely
by that time it should be broiling hot In
Georgia and week of real hot weather
may bring the players up to the notch.
II is q pretty safe prediction that when
McA1eer chooses training quarters in the
future they will be located in a region
which ordinarily has hot weather during
the month of March.
1t is not so many years ago when
major league ball club was limited to
fourteen players. Today the big fellows
can carry twenty-five throughout the
season and are allowed to try out as
many In the spring as they sec fit. But
IN the old days players did not seem to
pay as much attention to trivial injuries,
probably because that was not considered
an excuse for being idle. Many a ball
game was played in those days by play
ers who were badly used up. 1t was
case Of pitching one day and playing
some other position the next.s Yet there
was good base ball then, but the rivalry
for positions in the race was not as great,
because to win a pennant then did not
mean a fortune. as it does today.
insist that Joe Jackson. the Maps young
outfielder, is but a fash in the pan, that
young man continues to get more than
his share Of hits in the practice games
ana IN every other way seems to show
himself to be a good ball player.
But there has always been the greatest
rivalry between Detroit and Cleveland in
q base ball way. In Cleveland they
can't see Ty Cobb. and Detroit fans don't
understand where Larry Lajoie got his
reputation. 1t is therefore but natural
that Jackson should not have made
favorable impression with the Detroit
players, who may have tried to get what
is known as This goat" by. telling him
that he is a. dub.
One cannot help but admire the nerve
Of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. now a
fight promoter in Philadelphia. His
latest match is a six-round go between
Kid Mccoy and Joe Choynski. two vet
Grams, who have been out OF the game
as far as usefulness is concerned for
many years. Choynski was but a shadow
of his former self when he helped train
Jeffries. In fact he was q punching bag
for second raters years ago. while Nc
Coy's latest effort to come back was
huge joke. And yet Philadelphia fight
lovers are supposed to stand for this
sort of entertainment.

WEDDING OUT STARTS
WITH HUGH JENNINGS
Corcoran, Drake and Lathers
Likely to Stay With
the Tigers.

MONROE, La. March 2j.-Dclos Drake
will be the fourth outfelder with the
Tigers this season. Three times Drake
went south with the Detroiters- and three
times went back to the minors for more
seasoning. But on the fourths rip he has
shown enough to warrant Manager Jen-
nings keeping him. schaller good. but
he Is a left-handed hitter, which operates
against him.. 81
Mickey Corcoran, "Chicky Lathers
and, Of course, O'Leary are likely TO be
the infield substitutes. There never was
any chance Of O'Leary leaving The fold.
Corcoran is peppery player. whose only
fault is his batting style, and Jennings is
working to remedy that. Lashers has
been trying out at first and may help
Gainor out there.

Peas!ey are almost sure to go baek to the
minors. Mu1in, Summers, WiDets and

year, is expected to make good on his
second trip with the Tigers. Lively is
bothered with very sore arm, but his
reputation may save him q berth until he
Is better and is able to work for his po-
sition. Either Cavet or Mitchell stand a
show.
Either Beckendorf or Schmidt will have
to go. "Beckie' has been working hard
and Schmidt will have to show well or be
crowded out.
The decision to make Gainor the regu-
lar first sacker most likely means q re-
turn ticket to the minors for Ness.
Joe Sugden may be signed as scout for

Fractured Wrist Will Keep Him Out
of Game for Weeks.

NEWARK, n. J., March 25.-It will be
many weeks before Iron Man Joe Nc
Ginnity. manager of the Newark Eastern
League base ball club. has the use Of his
good right arm. An X-ray examination
Of the fracture of the wrist which he
sustained Thursday while cranking his
automobile shows that the injury Is a
serious one. It is called by the physicians
a fracture Of the styloid process Of the
radius.
It is expected that McGinnity will try
to close at once one of the deals he has
on for seasoned pitcher rather than a
youngster. 1t is said he has strong hopes
that McGraw will pass Marquard along
to him. McGinnity will leave Monday
with the players he has under contract
for preliminary work at Lakewood.

and bright and except for a trihe of lame

| In fact. the best shape that he has been
in years. He should have most excel

A "Big-Little" Man.
Charlie Conway, the young outfielder, is
| marvel physically. The men on the
| club wonder at his physical development.
With the exception Of his height and
reach Conway.s measurements all over
are larger than Champion Jack Johnson.
His chest expansion is wonderful for a
man so small in stature Conway works
in steel mill all winter, and this &C
counts for his wonderful strength. He
and Chief Swain had a wrestling match
yesterday morning and the chief was
worsted with plenty to spare, and the
latter would mighty near make two OF
Charlie.
Managers McAleer and Jordan are still
reticent about who they will decide upon
to leave with the Atlanta team. Jordan
says that he has not talked with Nc
Aleer, while McAleer says that he has not
looked the men over sufficiently as yet
to decide upon which men to leave here.
Cnoficially. though. 1t seems that the
choice Of two men for the Atlanta lies
between Chief Swain, Charlie Conway
and Warren Miller. Jordan is weak in
the outfield. He is satisfied with his in
field and catchers, but could use either
Bussey or Sherry to help his pitching
staff, if McAleer is Of mind to let him
have either one, though there hardly
seems any chance of this
Frank Chance sent his youngsters in to
do battle with Atlanta yesterday after
noon, and they brought home q to VIC
tory. The hitting Of First Baseman Safer,
who made two singles. q two Dagger,
home run and walked once In five trips
to the pan. was the feature. Cooke and
Needham was the battery for Chicago,
Scanlon, Crabble and Wells for Atlanta.
Moran Of the home club also made
home run.
McAleer was very much impressed with
the work Of Pitcher .Toney Of the Cubs
during the warming up period yesterday
afternoon. He and Chance exchanged
views on this subject, and McAleer agreed
with the peerless leader that Toney was
the most promising young twirler in ages.
Walter johnson will have to look to his
taurels as being the man with the most
speed. This fellow has got a world Of
It himself.

When the officials of the District
League get together tomorrow morning
there is likely to be no other idea prev
alent than to stand pat and let matters
remain as they are for a while. While
there has been much concern and anxiety
felt as to the formation of the league.
it is not likely that the two clubs to make
up the final roster will be decided on for
some time yet. One or two other ques-
lions are to be taken up, though Of COM
paratively little importance.
While it has been given out by the
league officials that the organization Is
just perfecting its plans and has hal
little time to think Of entering under the
amateur commission yet awhile. thus
making it seem that it would. as soon as
its affairs were Strengthened out. come
under the governing body in amateur
base ball, it is very probable. though:
in fact, there is hardly any doubt about
the. status of the league, and that Is that
it will play to itself this year and buck
the commission. While this opinion has
not been publicly expressed by any
sentiment Of those who are the sponsors
Of the organization is against being
under the jurisdiction Of the amateur
body, and. as that condition exists. there
under the amateur code.
Just what effect this stand will have on
amateur base ball Is uncertain. The pro-
posed rule concerning any club
playing against another club not under
the Jurisdiction of the amateur commits
sion seems to be a shot at the new league
In the beginning. If the rule passes The
commission when 1t meets tonight it will
mean that no club in the District League
will be able to get games outside of the
II rule passes the amateur commits
sion tonight barring all men who have
played professional ball ii is likely that
the new league will become a refuge for
the best players in the District. thus in
suring 1t playing a better article of
BAH than any of its rivals. 1t may be,
though, that this very thing will keep
such rule from passing the conclave
this evening. .se.--+
The two new teams which are to make
up the six-club circuit have not yet been
decided on. There are five applications
from different men, but it is improbable
that either viii be accepted, as none of
the clubs is strong enough to compete
successfully with the four which are
charter members. The league officials
are probably just as much in tn. dark
as to what two organizations Will fill
up the gap as any one else. 1t may be-
and, in fact, II has been, suggested that
the best men composing the different
teams be picked and two new clubs form
ed. Just what will be done, though, re-
mains to be seen.
Each of the local colleges starts its
season today. Georgetown University
opens with the American Security and
Trust Company, and II the team comes up
to the expected standard 1t should shut
the Bankers out. Out at Brookland the
Catholic University nine Will line up for
its first game Of the season against the

CHICAGO. March 25.-President C. A.
Comiskey OF the Chicago Americans yes
terday announced the sale Of the Old
Comiskey homestead, 1874 Lyle street in
which he was born. and an apartment
house adjoining his old home. which he
built with the first money he accumu-
lated as a professional base ball player.
Il loved that little cottage said
Comiskey. 1T was In the front yard of
that little house that I first tossed a base
bal nearly half century ago. When l
was a youngster the boys in the neigh
borhood came over to our house and we
had great times playing catch In the
front yard and on the adjoining lot.
That was a good old Irish neighbor-
hood in those days. We were all Irish
together. and no crowd of boys ever had
better times than We did ON the sand
lots in the neighborhood.
My mother and father lived there be-
there before my mother and father were
married.
lit was always considered settled that
father and grandfather and their wives
IL. too. But those good old Irish neigh
bors died or moved away and q new
class of people moved into the Fneighbor-
hood who were not Irish. Everything IL
changed out there now. did not want 70
live IN the neighborhood ana the old
house was getting too old to rent.
