MARYLAND AGG|ES
PROVE A SURPRISE
Georgetown Basket Ball Team
Has Trouble in Running Up
20 to rs Score.

Another surprise was handed out TO To-
cal basket ball followers last night. when
the team from the Maryland Agricultural
College held the Georgetown quint to a
~ to p score. As the Aggies were beaten
badly by Gallaudet twice. ii was generally
thought that the game would be rather
easy for the Hiltoppers, but just the
opposite was the case, and for a while it
looked as though the Blue and Gray ag-
gregation would be lucky to stave OFT de-
feat.
The Farmers started off with a rush
and soon had eight points to Georgetown S
three. but the advantage was short-lived.
and the Hilltoppers tied the score with
two goals from the field in succession
and one from foul. The Aggies soon
jumped into the lead again. though, and
held it until the last few minutes of play
in the first half, when Georgetown Gagged
three goals in rapid succession. The
points at the end OF the first period stood
II for Georgetown and 16 for the Mary
land Agricultural College.
The beginning OF the second half found
the Georgetown team with several SUBJ
stitGtions, and the changes seemed to
work very well. This period was George
towns from the start The Farmers did
much random shooting at the basket, and
seemed unable to find it with any accu-
racy.
The Blue and Gray five took the lead
from the start and soon had several
points to the good and were never again
in danger While the Georgetown team
work was hardly as good in this half as
in the first, the men played with lots
more spirit and life.
Woodward, Reupert and Binder did the
best work for the Aggies, Woodward 8
goal shooting and Binders guarding be-
ing especially prominent Woodward
threw three goals from the middle Of the
floor in the first period.
Schlosser, Martin and Barriscello were
in the limelight for Georgetown. Fury
and Monarch did some good guarding.
The game in general was not very fast
except at times. Occasionally the men
showed flashes of good work, but in the
main the play of both teams WAS rather
poor. The Farmers found the floor very
slippery and several times they went
sprawling. There was great deal of
holding and tugging, two players going to
the floor in an embrace every few min
utes, especially in the second half.

Doyle and Lynch Mix-Up.

Under new conditions Lynch was in
duced to return several years later, and
in Boston he had his second serious run
in with Doyle. Jack was playing first
base for the visitors when Lynch made
close decision in favor of the Hub team.
Doyle rushed in to the plate and scored
the king of umpires roundly, at the same
time trying to step on Lynch's feet with
his spiked shoes. Lynch, driven to des-
peratlon, suddenly lost his self-control
and handed Doyle stin punch on the
jaw. Doyle backed away with a look of
mingled surprise and admiration, and
kicked no more. In his opinion Lynch
was the biggest man in base ball. The
next day Lynch, who regretted the in
cident, offered an apology to the Boston
fans in the grandstand and was warmly
applauded.
From that day to this Doyle and Lynch
have been close friends. When Doyle
applied recently for an umpire's berth
Lynch regarded him with instant favor.
You've got the nerve. jack" said the
National Leagues president. Also the.
knowledge of base ball. You know what
kicking means and how 1t should be
dealt with. But you must control your
temper. Do not lose your head as | did
when l punched you in that game i'll
Boston. Just enforce the rules and give
the decisions as you see them. I'm sure
you will be a success
So Doyle will be in harness this year as
a Judge of plays. He is sure that he will
give satisfaction. AS be is fearless and
honest kicks by players and fans will not
worry him. he says. and with President
Lynch behind him he believes he can en-
force the rules. His appointment is in
teresting if only for the reason that for
the first time on record a player noted
for his kicking propensity has been en-
powered to rule the rowdies of the game
with a rod of iron.
Just how the experiment works will be
known later on. Doyle is not sensitive.
hence it is believed that he will not have
the sad experience OF Tim keefe, the
Giants star pitcher in 1885, who later
became an umpire A former idol of the
fans, Keefe did not believe they could
abuse him when he accepted the position.
But the end came one day when he de-
cided against the New Yorks at the Polo
Grounds. calling man out at the plate
and preventing the Giants from tying the
score. keefe was hOoted and jeered. A
mob followed him to the clubhouse.
throwing pebbles and dust in his eyes.
Once inside the building the once great
pitcher broke down and wept like
schoolboy. His old friends had deserted
him and soon he went into retirement.

snecial Djspatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. February 16--ln appoint
ing Jack Doyle to the National League
umpire staff President L. j. Lynch has
made no mistake, In the opinion of base
ball men. Once a star bal. player, one
of those who study the inside workings
of the game, Doyle is well equipped to
Judge up-to-date methods on the dia-
mond. Having caught behind the bat
before he developed into a crack first
baseman. he is we'll qualified to discrim-
mate between balls and strikes. Still an
athlete, fleet of foot and quick thinker,
Doyle, it is thought, will render base de-
cisions promptly. and will always be in
close touch with the bags. AS ball
player Doyle possessed fiery temper.
He had no consideration for a so-calied
incompetent umpire. He kicked vigor-
ousy whenever he thought a decision
was unfairly rendered against his team.
and it maue no difference whether the
best or the poorest judges of play handed
dawn the verdict. Doyle was frequently
fined and banished from the field, but he
kept on kicking, right up to tine last DAY
of his career as player
Oddly enough, Doyle and President
Lynch. who was the leagues star umpire
in those days ciashed on several occa-
sions. 1T was in 1896, when George Davis
was manager of the Giants and Doyle
was covering first base, that Lynch had
an unpleasant experience at the Polo
Grounds. Davis and Doyle kicked over
several close decisions until Lynch lost
patience and fined each 500. Davis and
Doyle promptly appealed tn the owner
of the New York club, who lost no time
in requesting Lynch's removal from his
assignments at the Polo Grounds. As
n. =. Young, then president of the
league, failed to sustain Lynch, the lat
ter resigned from the umpire staff, in
spite of protests from players and fans

STRENGTH IN YALE ELEVEN.
Further Advanced Than Harvard,

1t has been pointed out times without num-
Der that comparative scores are OF little
value in making deductions but the opinion
OF man whose team has played two otner
teams within week is worth considering,
even with the game on November % in
mind. Mr.. Larkin is quoted as saying IN
The Boston Globe:
Holy Cross found little difference In the
two rushlines. although perhaps Yale was
a little more aggressive. Against neither
team were we able to gain much ground by
our regular attack. Both sets Of forwards
were very stanch when We had the bail.
but cannot say that either did much

In 10th games our line attack was
smothered rather than upset before 10
reached the line Of scrimmage. Yale may
have turned our end plays in quicker than
Harvard did. so that our attack did not
appear 70 have so much action at New Ha-
ven az IL did at Cambridge, but Harvard s
tackling in close scrimmage was awfully
hard.
Harvard has a wonderful man in Wen

Holy Cross did not seem 10 be as We'll de-

appear 10 be much heavier than Harvard s.
but they worked together a lot better.
"Of course, Yale has been on the field
longer than Harvard has this season. but
! make allowance for this wnen I analyze
my impression that the New Haven team

Harvard has
There is a lot Of crudeness about both

Several times Harvards attack was ire
mendOusly powerful and the entire team
seemed In IL. Yale had nothing more hard

tests game for game Yale's work was a BIT
smoother and there were not 90 many
