: Manager Whiting, of the Ar
cade, is considering the advis-
ability of bringing Chase and his
outfit here during the holidays, and
will announce the date of the game
later.
Should this contest be staged. the fans
OF the District will more than likely see
one of the best games of the year. as
the professionals have been working hard
and are in the best of condition, while
Chase's team is always in shape. The
game will be played at the Arcade II ar
ranged.
The Scholastic football team. which
meets the Vlgilants next Sunday at Union
League Park, is not the same team which
played the independent champions
Thanksgiving morning. The team which
was defeated by them was picked up on
the morning of the game. as the regulars
did not show up, owing TO the heavy
snowfall. The team which will play Sum-
day will go on the field in good condition,
and no time will be taken out to allow
the men to drink water, as was the case
last Sunday.
"Shags'' Rawlings, the former Business
High School star. will more than likely
play with the Scholastics, as will Ecken-
dorf, Doleman, Palmer. Fisher. Hardy,
Rome, and Degnan. This team will prac-
tice again tomorrow night at the Ma
tional Guard Drill Hall. promptly at $50
o'clock \ full attendance is requested.

Birmingham Has Nerve.

If Joe Birmingham lives to be twice
as old as he is now, he will never for
get his first managerial duty, says
Western exchange. That was the release
Of Walker, the pitcher. who had been
known as Mysterious Mitchell" and
who had been signed up by Manager
Harry Davis.
Mitchell or Walker was most power
fUl man. He had done a strong arm act
on the stage and could handle any man
on the Nap team as he would a baby.
He also enjoyed a peculiar disposition.
Realizing these facts, Joe did not relish
his task, especially when Walker beat
him to it by saying very firmly:
There is no doubt of my sticking. Joe,
is there"
JOe's nervousness disappeared. He was
almost brave again.
You're fired" he said. Go to the Of
nee and get your pay
He wondered why Walker did not live
IN u his reputation and annihilate him.
He is still wondering how he escaped.
But it seems that Walker had been re-
leased so often that he was used TO it.
A week later he bobbed up in Cincin-
natl and almost induced Hank O'Day to
sign him. O'Day only escaped when
Walker declined to sign unless he were
made a free agent at the end of the
year

Innovation at Georgetown.

captain Bob Ener Of the Georgetown
track team plans a decided innovation in
the matter of training for the coming
INDOOR meets. The scheme is not new
one by any means, but il has not been
tried out in this neck of the woods.
said Eller last night: The track team
candidates will work outdoors, starting
right after the Christmas holidays. y
wooden saucer rack will be laid near
the gymnasium and no matter how cold
it is l propose TO have them out in the
air every day. I firmly believe that the
hest of results can be obtained in this
manner and that no i'll effects will fol-
low"
Up North the leading college track
teams train in this manner. where the
weather is much colder than in Wash
iagton, so there is every reason to be-
IIeve that Capt Eller's policy will go a
long ways towards developing a fine
track team TO represent the wearers OF
the Blue and Gray during the coming
indoor meets.

Georgetown basketball qint added

Washington College was scheduled to
game off, so Georgetown was forced to
schedule a game with a minor team.
While not being in the same class with
the Georgetown team. the boys from
Baltimore showed that they had more
than a smatterinG knowledge OF the in
door sport. For one reason it was a
good game for the Hilltoppers to play,
as 1t enabled Coach Colliflower TO get
good line on his men. several new
faces appearing in the Blue and Gray
lineup.
At the start it looked a. though the
Baltimore boys would make it interest

half and had to retire Lane, a new

the lineup seemed to give Georgetown
the necessary pep. for they scored point

good homes there.
The Athletic Season.
The new physical director is expect

or two, after which everything will be
lined up in first class shape for the
opening of the season. He is well
recommended and proposes to have
several new stunts before the season
has far advanced. The swimming pool
will be one of the most popular places
about the big building and all members
are invited to visit it as often as pos
sible. The water in the pool is regu-
lated according to hygienic ideas and
is always in first class condition. The
boys department has been thoroughly
renovated and ~redecorated and with
Director Goodwin in charge will also
prove to be popular.
