TO MEET PENN.
Georgetown Tennis Team to Play
Quakers in Nav.

Manager McQuillen of the Georgetown
University tennis team announced this
morning that he had completed arrange
ments for a match with the University
Of Pennsylvania racket wielders to be
played in Philadelphia in May This
match will mark the first time that the
local tennis aggregation has met the
Quaker city lads on the courts. and 1t
also will be the first time that the Blue
and Gray racketers have taken a trip
Of this distance in several years.
The match provides for the playing OF
four singles and two doubles. Four men
are to be sent to meet the Quakers. and
each man will play his opponent In a
single set, while two teams Of doubles
will each play a set. Each set. both
singles and doubles, will count one
point, and the institution. scoring the
greatest number of points will be given
the decision.
In the meeting Of the tennis teams of
the Blue and Gray and the Red and
Dark Blue one of the most interesting
struggles Is likely to result Pennsyl-
vania has been consistent in turning out
the highest class racket wtelder outfits
In the country, and although the local
university has not been represented to
any extent In intercollegiate tennis for
the past few years, the material on the
Heights looks to be Of the highest class.
and the Georgetown men will in all prob
ability make the different teams that they
are booked to meet next season go their
limit in order to triumph.

There are lots of good material for the
or better than there is in any Of the
other schools. and II those back of the
athletic system would take little more
interest In the various sports it would
come out and make up good teams.
What Business needs to develop its
athletic system is q good live man to
take charge and show the students that
those back Of them and above them are
interested in what they are doing. Let
somebody take charge of the various
teams at Business and 1t would be al
most a surety that within a couple Of
years Business would be able to COM
pete on an equal plane with the other
scholastic institutions. It cannot be ex-
pected that a bunch of boys can go out,
organize themselves into a team and de-
velop into an athletic organization any
more than they could be left to direct
the affairs of the school itself and get
an education in banking, bookkeeping
and stenography without teachers to
take charge and direct their work.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, February 5.-When the
White Sox won the pennant and also the
worlds championship in 1906 Charles
Comiskey, rather thought he had a cork
ing good inf1eld with Jiggs Donohue on
first, Isbell on second, George Davis at
short and Lee Tannehill on third. Davis
and Isbell, of course. were veterans, but
Commy rather opined that they would
be good for several seasons to come.
But Charles Comiskey has spent many
thousands of dollars and tried out
scores Of recruits, in an effort to replace
those stars Of 1905. but, nevertheless. he
has been unsuccessful except in one in
stance. He has secured Harry Lord for
third base. but he got him through a
trade and did not develop him. Rollo
Zeider comes the nearest of all the others
to approaching the class Of the infield
that brought Commy worlds gonfal-
lon.
Since 1905 Comiskey has tried out ten
men at first. eight at second, seven at
short and five at third. These figures
are from the record books and do not
include the many recruits tried out in
the spring or the players who worked
less than fifteen games in position.
Chicago tried to resume the season of
1907 with the star infleld Of 1906 Dono-
hue went through all right at first, while
Isbell and Davis worked most Of the
season at second and short. Tannehill,
however, had to divide the work at third
base with Robe and Quillin.
Donohue began to fall by the wayside
in the following season. when the Sox
came close to again winning the PEN
nant. Jiggs played eighty-three games.
while Isben looked after the initial
cushion the remainder of the season,

also working at second and in the out
field. George Davis arm weakened and
he was moved over to second, Jakey AtZ
also working at the keystone sack. Fred
die Parent was the regular shortstop,
while Bill Purtell was inserted as g. rival
of Tannehill at third.
Isbell was the regular first sacker in
1909. but Dave Altizer, Donohue and
George Davis were also tried in that
position. Atz became the regular second
baseman, with Purtell playing that
cushion in thirty-two games. Parent
began to go back little and Tannehiil
was moved over from third once more.
fanny played in nearly every game, Pur-
tell covering third when the veteran
went to short.
The season Of 1910 saw practically a
new infield for Chicago. Gandil, Mullin
and Collins worked at first base, Neon
nell. Zeider and French at second, Tan
nehill. Blackburn and Zeider at short,
Purtell and Harry Lord at third. More
changes came in 1911. Zeider, Tex Jones,
Collins, Mullin and Tannehill taking q
chance at first, while Mcconnell. Tame
hill and Bodie were second sackers. Tan
nehin also worked at short the greater
part of the season. Corhan and Zeider
playing sixty games there. Lord was the
only regular third baseman.
The following summary shows to what
straits Comiskey has been to fill his in
field:
+ First Observation-Disclosures. Isbell, Altizer,
George Davis, Gandil, Mullin, Collins
Jones. Zeider. Tannehill.
Second basemen-Isbell. Rohe G. Davis,
Atz, Purtell, Mcconnell, French, Zeider
Tannehill and Bodie.
Shortstops-Davis, Robe, Parent, Tan
nehin. Blackburne, Zeider, Corhan.
Third basemen-Tannehill, Robe, Quill
lin, Purtell, Lord.
No wonder Commy wants George Sto-
vail and yet is 10th to part with either
Lord or Zeider to get the Nap first base
man.
