CANTIiLON'S TEAM
ABOUT COMPLETED
Minneapolis Manager Ex'
poets to Have a Repeater
This Year.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. March 4.-The
Miller team for 1911 was made about
complete by the signing of Killifer for
the shortfield position in Chicago. The
magnates are looking for another pitch
er and it is likely that he will come from
the White Sox camp, although Comiskey
has not started to trim down his list of
hurlers. This fellow when he comes will
arrive about the time the season opens
or a little later.
Last year when "Pongo' Cantillon
announced his lineup there was a
coarse, rude chorus of boots all around
the circuits. The bright young experts
in rival cities remarked that aside from
being old, worn-out. spawned and suf-
fering from houser1aid's knee and other
ailments the Millers were all right
HObe Ferris had a splendid year at
fielding and at bat and went through
the season without a bit of trouble or
extra argument with any man on the
team.
Jimmy Williams had the best year in
about five, and his batting was a
feature of every game he played in. He
gave the most polished exhibition of
playing second base ever seen on this
circuit. Tom Hughes had them eating
out of his hand from the day the season
opened until it closed. Clymer hit the
ball and played sensational outfield.
Gavvy Cravath hit them so far he didn't
have to run-just walked Pick fell by
the wayside to make room for Claude
Rossman, another fellow the Eastern
scribes said was a down and outer.
Ross only hit at about a 400 clip after
he Joined the Millers and played fast
ball when managed properly and treated
like he was white man.
On this team Joe Cantillon will rest
his chance of repeating. He has lost
two firstclass men in Tom Hughes and
Altizer, but Rube Waddell, under the
watchful eye of "Pongo," is expected to
do heavy service with the Millers this
year. Lelivelt Is in bad shape, but he
is expected to show form or disappear
along about the opening of the playing
season. He is a popular chap with all
of the players, but his arm never has
been right since he came from Detroit.

Cross-Country Fours
Matched to Run.
NOVEL TEAM RACE
CREATES INTEREST
Special Features in Wrestling and
Boxing Added by Man.
ager Edwards.

What is expected to be one of the fea-
lures of the National Guard meet is
the race which is to be held at the Cen
ter Market armory Saturday between
the fremont and Washington Cross
Country fours. 1t will be for two miles,
and as there is great rivalry between
the clubs the event Is expected to be
of more than ordinary interest from a
spectators viewpoint.
The siX-men team race is a novel
feature, and is an event in which head
work is as important as speed. Each
man on the team must run two laps,
after which any one of the six may
run until eighteen laps shall have been
completed. The men run equipped for
the field.
In addition to the running events the
athletic board has arranged such special
features as wrestling, boxing, acrobatic
feats, and fancy bicycle riding. Among
the men appearing in these events will
be Joe Grant. Kid Sullivan, ana the
Mllburn troupe.
For the training of the runners, the
athletic board has given orders that the
drill hall track shall be open for the
athletes every night from 7:3O to S:l5.
New banks have been erected at the
turns and a special wall has been pro-
vided for the wall scaling event.
Major +. II. Neumeyer has been
named honorary referee, and w. G.
Stuart, of the A. A. L., will officiate as
referee. The entries close with Captain
Edwards on Monday.

NYhARD PRAISED
/. FOR MEET SUCCESS
Georgetown Indoor Contests
Draw Largest Attendance
in History.
LOSS OF THE RELAY
PROVES HARD BLOW
Features of the Field Events Are
Pole Vaults, Won by Wago-
ner, of Yale.

Congratulations are pouring in upon
, Manager Skip" Wymard, of the
Georgetown University track team,
. today in recognition Of the unquali-
fed success of the thirteenth annual
indoor meet held at Convention Hall
last night.
1t is doubtful II there have been any
larger crowds present at meets in
Washington in the past, and the en-
thusiasm shown in the applause was
hitting tribute to the general excel
lence of the management, and the
care of details. The absence of
kicks" of any sort showed well the
competence in the selection of Off
ctals, and the floor was kept clear to a
great degree.
With an entry list and attendance
considerably larger than in the past,
the events were run OF on schedule
time and the long finals in the pole
vault, which were seen by many,
closed before 1870.
Loss of Relay Hard Blow.
1t was a hard blow to Georgetown
to lose the relay to Virginia, but con-
ISOLATION is found in the double win of
Carrigan in the two 50-yard dashes,
and the second and third in the open
quarter by Gross and Mathison. For
the Props, Golden showed his class as
a hurdler by winning the 50-yard
scholastic hurdles.
Virginia won the meet with 21
points, Cook, RambaUgh, Brigham,
and Cooke furnishing the necessary
places. Yale, with the redoubtable
fitzpatrick, in the shot; Wagner, in
the pole vault, and Snyder and Wal
colt. Georgetown was third with IA
points.
Pole Vault Features.
Features of the field events were the
performances of Gardner and Wagon
er, of Yale; Duke, of Cornell, and
Sterrett, formerly of Princeton, in the
pole vault. Wagoner's final vault of
IL feet, which won, was the best per-
formance in the pole vault that pre-
vious meets have seen. At one time
all four were trying for IL feet s
inches. Wagner tried for a record
later but missed.
Taken all in all, the consensus of
opinion today is that the thirteenth
annual meet of Georgetown Univer-
sity has set a standard for future
meets Manager Wymard is desery-
ing OF all the nice things that are
being said about him today, for he
has worked for weeks to successfuIIy
carry on his meet.

Georgetown Preps Plan
To Meet Eastern Quint

A game that would be likely to excite
the interest of all basketball fans in
Washington may be arranged in the
near future between the Georgetown
Props and Eastern High School.
Manager McInnerney, of the Props, is
trying to fix a date for the game, which
will be calculated to decide the scho-
lastic championship Of the District. If
present plans fail the Preps will have
brought their season to a close.
During the season the Blue and Gray
youngsters have scored a total of 425
points to their opponents 161. Captain
Loehl proved to be the best man at the
goal tossing game, with fifty-seven
field goals and nine free tosses to his
credit. His nearest competitor was
Lawler, who made forty-six baskets
from the floor and six free tosses.

Another Bowling League
Prospect In the K. of c.

Since the organizing of the Carroll
Bowling League in the Knights OF CO.
lumbus the fever has spread to such an
extent that present indications point to
the formation of another league next
year. There are at present four teams,
known as Nos. l, ., 8, and 4.
It is expected the roster of the pro-
posed league will consist of teams rep
resenting Carroll, Washington, Polo
mac keane, and Spaulding councils.
The installation of two new alleys IS
being seriously considered, and in view
Of the latent interest being taken in the
sport such Improvement will become
necessary.

Weather Bureau SAYS Rain.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2S.--
Rains within the next forty-eight
hours over the greater part of the
country from the Mississippi valley
to the Atlantic coast and in the
southwest are predicted today in a
bulletin of the weather bureau.
Strong winds are forecasted off the
Atlantic coast in connection with
the disturbances now off the South
American coast.
Following the passage Of these
disturbances, the pressure will rise
rapidly and a change to considefab-
ly cooler weather will overspread
the great central valleys and the
lake region tomorrow and the east
ern and southern states Wednesday.
This change to cooler weather
probably will cause frosts in expos
ed places the first part of the week

sippi valley and the upper lake
regions. Another disturbance is due
to appear in the northwest abc';s
Wednesday, whence it VIII move

William Lee, the confessed murder
err of his father, mother and broth
er at Boonville, Ind, is in solitary
confinement in the Indiana reforma-
tory today. He reached the prison
last night from Princeton, where of
ficers took him following the pub

He made supplementary confess

reiteration of the details of that
given out at Evansville. In addi-

parents because he believed they
had planned to kill him.

even light hearted and annoyed the
officers by his efforts to engage them
in small talk.

COURT HAS
BIG PUZZLE
Legal Problem Comes From the
Swamps of North
Carolina.
TO AFFECT THE BANKRUPTS
Supreme Court Must Decide in Octo-
Der Question Of Vast Importance
to all Parts of the
Country.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. Is.
From the swamps of Onslow county,
North Carolina, has come forth a
legal problem for the United States
supreme court to pass upon when it
convenes in October that may af-
feet bankrupts in all parts of the
country for years to come. Shorn
of legal phraseology the question is.
when Is thing concealed?"
John l.. James was a storekeeper
in Onslow county previous to Feb.
%, 1908, when a petition of invol-
untary bankruptcy was filed against
him. Nothing unusual developed
until James asked for his discharge
from bankruptcy. Just four months
and three days before the bank
ruptcy petition was filed against
him, he had been charged with hid
ing In swamp in Onslow county
five caddies of tobacco, one case of
gun shells, two trunks Of shoes and
some dry goods. with intent to de-
fraud his creditors.
The law would not grant his die
charge If at any time subsequent TO
the first day of the four months, i'm
mediately preceding the filing Of
the petition, he had concealed"
any of his property with fraudu-
lent intent toward his creditors.
The circuit court of appeals for
the fourth circuit decided that a.
though the goods were placed in the
swamp three days more than four
months before the prescribed time.
there was continuous concealing"
because without further action by
James, the offense repeated itself
every day until he disclosed the hid
ing place, which was alleged to
have been Jan. 5, 1908.
1t is said the supreme court new
er has passed on the question Of
whether there is such an offense
within the meaning OF the bank
ruptcy laws, as continuous con-
