Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. December 16.-There is a
good chance for Clark Griffith to secure
George Moriarty. the captain and third
baseman Of the Detroit team
Griffith Is known to have opened nego-
tiations for Moriarty during the recent
meeting of the American League in New
York, but at that time the Cleveland
club showed disposition to be anxious
to secure the local player. and Washing
toms chances were considered rather slim.
Since then however, there has been a
change in conditions. Jennings, from all
that can be learned, does not look with
favor upon the trade Cleveland suggested
by which that club expected 10 turn over
Graney and Stovall for MOriarty, and it
was limited around base ball headquarters

NATIONAL STAND CHANCE TO
SECURE GEORGE MORIARTY
Detroit Club Said to Be Willing to Sell
Player to Griffith Wants
to Play Here.

today that If Griffith will come across
with enough cash he will probably be
given the preference.
Though Moriarty did not play UP to his
former standard last season. the patrons of
the game do not look upon his going with
favor. Moriarty, because of his earnest
ness. has been favorite here even when
he was in a slump. But the player is anx-
ious to get away from Detroit, and for
this reason more than any other Manager
Jennings is willing to part with him.
1t is understood that Moriarty is anx-
ious to go to Griffith. for whom he played
his first major league ball. Morey, as he
is Familiarity known, started his major
league career in New York in 1906. being
bought from Toledo. He went to Detroit
in 1908 and until last year played bril-
liant ball here .Moriarty is but twenty
six years old. and should have a lot Of
base ball left in him.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, December
16.-With the announcement by authori-
ties here today that the board Of faculty
advisers, at a special meeting, rendered
a favorable verdict in regard to the re-
quest of the Washington Base Ball Club
for the use of Lambeth Field as training
grounds during the coming spring. 1t is
now practically certain that the Capital
city players will do their preliminary
work in Charlottesville.
1t was at first thought that members
Of the athletic committee would defer
action because of the fact that several
members of the college base ball team
were said to be opposed to the project.
However. after consideration. DR.. Lam
beth. as representative Of the board of
faculty advisers, decided in favor of the
American leaguers. The information has
been communicated to Secretary Miner
of the Washington Base Ball Club. and
it is understood that Manager Clark Grit
fifth will come to Charlottesville within
the next couple of weeks to complete ar
engagements.
I've will be glad to have the Washing
ton team with US next spring." said DR..
Lambeth today. THAT is. provided they
do not interfere with the work of the
college team. OF course, Manager Crit
fifth and Manager Moore of our team will
have to arrange matters satisfactorily as
to details
Although it is reported that a number
of the players will report here the first
week in March, no information to that
effect has as yet been received here. In
asking for the use of the grounds the
secretary of the Washington club stipu-
lated March 10 as the opening day of the
training season, which. he went on to say
would continue for two weeks. However
there will be no objection to the team
coming earlier If Manager Griffith sees
fit. 1t is thought that the field will be
in condition by March 1. at the very
latest.

Against Y. N. C. A. Five.

Walk and Kelley Show Good Form
in Well Played
Game.
|C0LLEGIANS LOSE, 80 TO is

A fast basket ball game between the
Y. NJ. c. A. Regulars and Gallaudet went
to the f1rst-named team last night by
the score of 80 to 16 at the association
gymnasium.
The Y. NJ. c. A. five was first to score.
a pretty goal from a neat pass by Capt
Walk. Capt Arras followed with a free
toss for the Kendall Greeners a few
seconds later. Both quintets were even
ly matched in weight and speed, but the
victors had the advantage in familiarity
with the floor and the Amateur Athletic
Union rules. Gallaudet had been coached
in the intercollegiate rules. and many
opportunities for tries at goal by the
East Side collegians from dribbles had
to be foregone.
Right Forward Hall made several
pretty losses for field goals from diff
cult angles. and Capt. Walk had good
luck in making baskets from fouls for
passing by the victors deserves special
mention.
Keeley Again Does Well.
For Gallaudet, Kelley at right for
ward had the best luck of the losers in
scoring most goals. Rockwell was the
only other besides Kelley to make field
goals Guarding by DURAN broke up a
number Of we'll executed passes by the
Association players. At times the team
work by the Buff and Blue showed
flashes of last weeks form, but, as stated
above, the unfamiliarity with the A. A.
u. rules prevented the losers from try
ing for baskets by dribbles. Lineup

afternoon. the Ingram Memorial girls
basket ball team gained its fourth sue
cessive victory Of the season
Adverse to the impression which the
score gives. the game was hard-fought

handicap in the first period. but once
started they forged steadily to the front
Gallaudet passed well, Miss Harrington

Neither team was prompt to score in

BRO0KLANDERS DO WELL

The basket balr five representing Cath
Ole University opened it's season last
night by defeating the fast Frederick
College Quint at Convention Hall, score
% to 10.
Catholic University had in Frederick
College a much tougher proposition than
it anticipated, and was compelled to f1ght
all the way in order to land the game
The Marylanders have a fast five, and
with little more seasoning, will be one
Of the best teams in this section.
The Brooklanders, too, have team
that they will no doubt be proud Of before
the season closes. In the game last night
two former Georgetown stars made their
appearance in Catholic University uni
forms. This pair. along with Mcdonnell.
Fury and Trumble, makes an evenly bal
anced five.
Despite the fact that 1t was the first
game for either team, both were well
trained. The team work Of the Brook
landers was good throughout the two
any signs of weakening. The visitors
showed up badly only during the first
ten minutes of play, and during this
time did not score a single goal. Cathol1c
University tallying ten points before the
former could get started.
Played Well Defensive1y.
Besides tho good offense it put up.
Catholic University also played a cracker
jack defensive game. Mcdonnell and
Croghan being particularly strong for
the BrookIanders.
Lease and Thomas were the whole show
for the Maryianders. This pair scored
nearly all Of their teams points, and, be-
sides this both played good defensive
games. Lease was the first Frederick
College player to shoot a goal for his
team, and it was the best piece OF work
during the entire game
Catholic University will play another
game at Convention Hall next Tuesday.
