Y. NJ. C. A. and University of Mary

Much to the disappointment of the
Gallaudet management, the basketball
games with the University of Maryland
for tonight In Baltimore and the Central
Washington Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation at the Kendall Green for Satur-
day night were cancelled, owing to the
Christmas vacation. Whether or not
Manager Lepides can secure a first-class
quintet to play with the Gallaudet var
sity five tomorrow at the East Side
gymnasium 1t is hard to say.
The Kendall Green adherents had been
looking forward to the return game be-
tween the X NJ. c. A. Regulars and
Gallaudet at the college gymnasium with
keen interest, and the cancellation Is a
surprise. Manager Lapides and Y. NJ. C..

ably agree to some date after Christmas

Watch that Western quint in the scho-

Dick Thompson should be a valuable

By WILLIAM PEET.

Contract blanks for the players were
received by Manager Clark Griffith yes
terday morning and will be mailed short
ly after the first of the year. Every
member of the Washington baseball club
with the exception of Walter Johnson
will get one of the blanks. Johnson, 1t
will be remembered, signed up for three
years early last April.
According to Manager Griffith there is
nc change in the wording of the 1872
contract blanks, the original being drawn
up by a lawyer who knew his business.
They are binding in the extreme and
when once ball player is signed
lie has little chance to escape on
technicality of any sort.
Griffith would not state whether any
players would get boost in salary over
last seasons figures. His policy has al
ways been that as soon as man demon
Strated he was worth more money, the
necessary increase would be forthcoming.
In other words, Grifh is from Missouri,
and will have to be shown.
During a tanning bee at headquarters
yesterday the question of morning prac-
tice was brought up, and Griffith was
asked to give his views. He said:
81 am strong for morning practice dur
ing the spring, and shall insist upon both
regulars and youngsters reporting lot
stiff course of sprouts
During the hot weather, July and Au-
gust, it is asking too much of those fel-
lows who are in there every day to get
out and practice in the morning. The
youngsters will have to do the work then.
This does not mean that the regulars
will be excused from reporting at the ball

the men when the season opens ana rule
No. l will be that every man under con-
tract must show up at the ball park at
10 o'clock in the morning. If 1 did not
take some such step the boys would
lounge around all night and sleep until

between acts, in his dressing room at the
Lyceum Theater to-day. II will not con-
tinue in the game a day after feel my

make the mistake that many players
have made of continuing until they lose

year. That maybe four or five seasons
hence, or II may be seven or eight. hope
to be in such a position by that time that
1 can live without worrying for the re-
mainder of my life.
1T is my opinion that Cy Young is
making the mistake of his career by re-
manning in the game. He is taking a
gamblers chance of coming back, and
the percentage is all against him. Had
Cy quit in the heyday of his career his
name would have been famous always.
