The Washington times., 1912-01-11

Georsetovau's field and track prospects
were Jared somewhat today when II
was learned that Fred Gibbs, for three
years a member of the relay team. will
not be a candidate for the four tfiis
season. Gibbs is too busy to find time
to do regular work on the track, SO he
has decided to withdraw entirely from
the squad.
Despite the loss Of Gibbs, there is
widespread impression on the Heights
that the relay team has an excellent
chance for victory in the annual race at
the Boston Athletic Association meet
next month. In order that nothing
might interfere with the roseate out
look, regular training has been started.
Every man who is an aspirant for the
relay quartet will be compelled to prac-
ttce six days a week on the long
stretch In the basement of the Healy
building. Sundays work will be done in
the morning.
AS nucleus, Captain Carigan and
Coach Smith have "Inky" Davis, Chap
man and Mulligan, the first named
being the only Georgetown man who
has led his rival in the individual relay
against Virginia in several years. Ell
Ter. Campazzi, Barrett and McGrath are
the newcomers who will be dangerous
contenders for places on the team
which goes to Boston.
In the short dashes the, men who are
now showing to greatest advantage are
Captain Carrigan, Eller, and Hurley,
who halls from Mercersburg Academy.
Captain Carrgan. Eller, and Golden
are prominent in the hurdles, while
Martin, Matheson, Langdon, and Shore,
The former BUSINESS High athlete, are
doing the best work. vlyman, vet
Gran, is being depended upon for the
mile run, while Bayricello, Lambcrtop.
and Rheinschild, all football players,
are heavins the shot, with Costello the
most conspicuous pole vaulter.
Manager Kinsley Is receiving encour-
agement in his endeavors to make the
annual meet at Convention Hall the
biggest ever held by Georgetown. He
has been fairly swan ped by apElica-
tions for classifcations in the relays,
and II Is most likely that these ever
popular events will be the big feature
of the annual tournament.

GREAT AUTOMOBILE
|. SHOW At NEW YORK
ON IN FULL SWING
Scene of Exhibits Forms
Beautiful Picture-At-
tended BY Throngs.
By HARRY WARD.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-With exhibits
covering 1000 square feet Of space and
beneath a flood Of electric lights rad
Iating down upon highly polished c6fs
and chasses, the Grand Central Palace
automobile show Is In full swing. The
opening last night was one Of the big
gest occasions in the history Of the
automobile industry. The doors were
opened at o'clock and five minutes
later the great structure was fairly
jammed with visitors, many hundreds
of whom had crowded about the build
ing anywhere from fifteen minutes to
three-quarters of an hour before the
gates swung open.
While 1t has been customary for the
promoters Of automobile shows to ex-
pend thousands Of dollars on decorative
features, the Palace show is not a whit
behind anything ever attempted in this
city in the line Of beautiful settings.
The management of the show, attended
by the best scenic artists OF New York,
spent many days figuring on the scheme
of decoration. As a result Of these de-
liberations one Of the most beautiful
pictures ever presented at an industrial
show has been evolved.
The moment one enters the building
the effect Is that OF an Italian garden.
The main floor is approached by means
Of a flight of marble steps. decorated
with brass railings and trimmings. or
namented for the occasion with bronze
emblems, typical Of the progress OF the
industry. On the center of the floor,
where the exhibition spaces are large
and which contain some of the finest
productions of the industry, there IL
nothing in the form of decoration, ex-
cept the necessary signs, on which q
great deal Of care has been exercised
Nothing but pleasure cars are shown
in this section.
Among the cars sold In Washington
exhibited at this show are the Hupp-
Yeats electric, r. c. H., Velie, Marion
Lion, Cole. Warren. Regal, Kline, Co
lumbus electric. Abbott-Detroit. De
Tamble, Krft, Great Western, Gramm
truck. The accessory exhibits, most OF
which are sold by Washington concerns
include Firestone tires. Motx tires
Stromberg carbdretors, Goodyear tires
United States tires, Edison batteries
Warner speedometers, Swinehart tires
Schebler carburetors, Diamond tires
Bowser tanks. Goodrich tires, Gray q
Davis lamps, Fisk tires, Remy mag
netos, Empire tires.

Notre Dame Will Have
Attractive Schedule

s NOTRE DAME, IND. Jan. 1.-THE
football schedule for Notre Dame prom
ises to be strong for next season IL
Manager Murphy, who Is now in the
East, can complete arrangements begun
by correspondence. Brown University
has asked for q game to be played at
Providence, and the Carlisle Indians
also have expressed a wish to meet
Notre Dame. This game will be played
in Chicago.
The game with Pittsburgh University,
which already has been agreed on, will
give the Hoosiers three Eastern games.
Two Western games have been definite
ly decided on, that with Marquette on
Thanksgiving Day and the other with
Wabash. Eight games will make up the
schedule.

Committee on Amendments
Will Make Its
I; Report.
EXPECT TO CHANGE
MANY REGULATIONS
More Control Over Players Will
Probably Be Given Com
mission.

When the amateur baseball commits
sion Of the District Of Columbia holds
Its first meeting of the 1912 season day
after tomorrow, many matters Of grave
cnd minute Importance to the welfare
and general future of the amateur
game In this city will be considered.
Some weeks ago committee composed
OF Howard 8. Reeside, Of the American
Security and Trust Company team,
winners OF the local amateur champions
ship last year; 8. Edward Beach, presi.
dent Of the District League. and Joseph
8. jackson. was appointed to confer
with Clark Griffith on possible amend
ments to the present rules and bylaws
of the commission.
The report of this committee at the
meeting next Saturday is expected 20
call for change in many of last years
regulations, although the niujority of
alterations to the present constitution
will affect only minor clauses. Experl-
ences encountered during the 1911 sea-
son developed several weak points in
the rules of the commission, and the
committee above mentioned was ap-
pointed to determine exactly what
clauses should be stricken from the
constitution ana how they should be
amended.
Legality of Players.
One Of the most important subjects
which will be considered is the legality
of players Of leagues not under the
commission participating in games un
der its control. Frequently during the
past season inadvertent squabbles were
caused because of an inadequate ru:-
Ing covering this point.
Another change which is being legis-
lated for will give the amateur commits
sion absolute control over a player who
Is signed with any team of that body.
1t has long been apparent that system
such as in force in the big leagues of
the country governing the release and
exchange of players Is needed by the
local amateur organisation. The COM
mission has always held q certain
amount Of control over members Of its
teams, but 1t is thought that a yet more
stringent ruling Is required.
To Elect Officers.
The bylaws and constitution provide
that the commission shall meet annually
on or before March for the purpose of
electing president, vice president. Sec
retary. and treasurer. These officers
serve for a period of one year. Accord
ingly, announcement has been made
that the second meeting will be held on
Saturday, February 8, at which election
Of officers will take place.
Various rumors have been circulating
that some of the officers Of last year s
organization who did so much toward
making the season a success would not
be candidates for positions at the head
Of the commission this season. Despite
these reports, canvass of the men who
headed amateur baseball in Washington
in 1911 reveals expressions OF assurance
from each Of his hearty cooperation
and support. BY the same token, the
presidents Of the leagues and members
of teams, without exception, are highly
satisfied with the work OF last years
officers. and q complete reelection
would meet with the approval of every
follower of the amateur game in the
District Of Columbia
