COLLEGE MINES ..
BEGIN TOMORROW
Georgetown and Catholic University Meet Mt ST.
L. Joseph's and Baltimore Tech-Standards of Play
Have Improved In Eastern Universities

washingtons intercollegiate baseball
Season will be ushered in tomorrow
when Georgetown meets Mt. st. Jo-
seph's College and the Catholic Uni
versity plays Baltimore Tech.
The outlook at both of the local uni
versities Is considered excellent, and
within the next month the college ath-
letic followers of this city will have an
opportunity to see most of the big coi-
leges of the East in action, as both
the West Enders and Brooklanders have
attractive schedules, especially during
Easter week.
Standards of play have undoubtedly
improved in Eastern college baseball,
following long slump which lasted
from 1900 to 1910. roughly speaking. This
Improvement has come about largely by
ieason of professional coaching and
closer association with professional
IDEAS and methods. More recently there
has been a marked reaction against pro-
fessional domination of college baseball
interests, set in motion by the prevalent
idea that sportsmanshlp has suffered, or
At least has been retarded by reason of
this close association with pushful, sue
cess.loving and out-to-win individuals.
Coach Confined.
Heads of colleges seem to be trying
to find the happy medium where the
professional coach shall be confined to
teaching the game, under such super
vision as has seemed, in some cases,
to be both necessary and lacking. But
the problem is by no means the same
at all colleges. There are many pro-
fessional coaches of whom no adverse
criticism whatever could be offered on
influence
corrupt and weaken the spirit of fair
PLAY or of "gentlemdnly conduct
The most fortunate colleges, generally
speaking. seem to be those with gradu-
ates available for coaching who have
also sufficient professional experience
to make them highlJ expert. Next come
the colleges able to secure an expert,
qualified by professional training, who
is graduate of some other college of
high grade In addition, there are the
men of genius and fine character who
could have only been helped, not made,
by going TO the university, and then
the occasional graduate who has had no
professional training, but who has a
genius for gaseball.
Four Good Coaches.
These four classes of coaches can be
recognized readily among the New Eng
land topnotchers this spring. Brown
has Harry Pattte, graduate and profes.
sional Harvard has DR.. Sexton, a
Brown man, highly qualified as 4 coach.
dartmouth, in Ralph Woods, has n
coach who could not have received
stronger recommendations on the side
of character and personal fitness, while
lis professional qualifications were as
strongly attested. Yale was encouraged
to restore graduate coaching because
Frank Quimby is believed to have un-
usual baseball knowledge and intui-
tion, and he being one of Yale's great
est players and Captains:

than in any other sport. Dartmouth,

and talked to them about a two-lap-to-
the-mile saucer race track and while
there suggested that II similar tracks
can be built in these cities such a racing
circuit could be formed.
1t Is Mr.. Princes plan to stage races
several times each week four months
during the summer on the circuit tracks
and make these cities famous for mo-
torcycle racing.
The Indianapolis motorcyclists are
considering the construction of a board
track and 1t now seems certain that
one will be built before May. Mr..
Prince has suggested that the Hoosier
the idea has made a strong appeal to
the indianapolis fans. BY constructing
a two-lap-to-the- Strack Mr.. Prince
claims that better time can be made
with the least possible chance Of ac-
cident
James ]. Flynn, manager of the Zell
Motor Car Company, has been advised
that Harry w. Ford, secretary of the
Chalmers Motor Company, has been
MADE made assistant ant general manager OF the
Percy owen, formerly Eastern sales
manager. Both Mr. Ford and Mr.. owen
are prominent figures in the automobile
world. Mr.. owen has the distinction OF
being the first man to rent q store on
Broadway, in New York, for the pur-
pose of selling automobiles.
Eighty-five motorcycles are being used
by the various departments of Chicago's
city government.
Unless all indications fail more trans
continental automobile trips will be
made in 1912 than in all the previous
years combined. The impetus for this
Increased cross-country touring was
given chiefly by a few daring motorists
in 1911. when twelve Premier cars,
driven by their owners, and carrying
families and friends to the number of
forty men, women and children, crossed
the continent in twenty mine running
days. they proved to the remainder of
the motoring world that a transconti-
mental highway, suitable for the needs
of the private owner at the wheel of
his own car, was already in existence.
That this highway needed much inn
but there were no insurmountable diff
ficuties.

Business Luncheon Is
Distinct Success

Rumors to the effect that athletics at
Business High School are on the decline
were offset yesterday, when luncheon
for the benefit of the various sports was
given at that institution. Principal
Davis stated today that yesterdays
event was the most successful from a
financial and social standpoint of any
of the annual lunCheons given by the
students during his regime.
Nearly two hours was given the stu
dents in which to escort their families
and friends from table to table where
delicatessenS of all varieties were
served by daintily costumed girls of the
senior and sophomore classes. All Of
the other Washington high schools were
given extra recess in which to make a
trip to patronize the Rhode Island ave-
nue. classic.

at least has nothing on Williams
and Amherst in this branch, and the
others have very little, whilo Tufts and
Holy Cross are much stronger In base
ball than in any other department of
athletics at present Three of these
colleges now have colleRians as coacnes,
while Amherst, up to this season, pos
sessed one of the greatest coaches and
finest characters in the game, Mr..
breckenridge, now with Annapolis. In
addition to these. Vermont, while per-
baps not so consistently strong as the
others mentioned, has had teams more
than once which outciassed all the other
New England varsity mines, great and
small, a remarkable record considering
the late and northcrly season at Bur-
linSton.
Veterans Strength.
Browns strength this year lies in
the large number of veterans, espe-
cially including batteries, available.
Although Joe Councilman is said to
be Browns star pitcher, the team does
not feel worried when other men are
assigned to duty on the slab with the
exception of Cram. who was remark
able pitcher while at Melrose High,

infield has been pretty well shot to
pieces.
Harvard should have fast fielding
and fine hitting team, and it looks
as II the problem at Cambridge would
be decidedly up to the pitchers. with
prospects 1T present uncertain, although
fairly satisfactory.
Yale Needs "Pep."
Yale stands in need of general
Singering up, but has abundant ma
terial, including promising pitchers, so
that the success of this team should be
chiefly a question of coaching and
handling.
Dartmouth has had a break-even team
for two or three seasons, winning its
Harvard games as It's most notable sue
cesses. The material at Hanover is
good this spring. 1t is also plentiful,
and the Green looks to be entitled to
move up a notch or two. if all goes well.
Williams, with Davis, and Amherst,
with Vernon, have veteran twirlers of
earnest reputation, and with those col
leges 1t is chiefly a question of building
around these men so strongly that they
need not be oVerWorked or overworried.
Cornell has only four veterans avail

tower, who were good average college
pitchers last year. AS a nine of vet
Grams is by no means a guarantee of
success, the Ithacans may surprise some
of the teams better favored, as it is
frequently the case, where veterans are
few, that a college becomes aroused and
meets the emergency well.
Columbia has lost Pitcher Murray Lee,
the strength of the Light Blue in recent
games. but here again surprising sue
cess may be realized, the element of
overcontidenCe having been eliminated
entirely.
