The basket ball game that was sched-
uled to take place between Georgetown
and the University of North Carolina
February has been Cancelled by the
latter institution. Word was recently re-
ceived by the Blue and Gray manage
ment to the effect that the Tarheels
would be unable to take the trip. and
1t was questionable as to whether or not
the school would be represented by a
five this year.
The main reason ascribed by the North
Carolina team for its failure to make
good the date was that neither the cap
tain nor the manager returned to school
after the holidays. and, as it was too late
to begin all over again, the northern
games scheduled would have to be can
celed.
An effort is to be made by Manager
Fortune of the Georgetown team to get
some other good team here for the date
left vacant by Carolina. Just what school
Will be secured is not vet known. but
that some good quint will be willing to
play is fairly certain
Michigan has announced its foot ball
schedule for next year. The Wolverines
play about the same teams they did last
season. Here is a list of the contests

lege. at Ann Arbor: October 10. Ohio

at Syracuse: November 2. Vanderbilt, at
Ann Aroor: November 9, Pennsylvania,

Ann Arbor.
Georgetown lost to the New York, Uni
versity last night by score of 10 to &.
Although the Blue and Gray quint failed
to win from the Gothamites, as was o lily
to be expected. 1t did make an excellent
showing. While on the offensive the e
was not a great deal that could be sal !
Of Georgetown's play, the defensive work
of the team was especially good. Coach
Collifiower instructed his men before
the contest to play strictly defensive
game and hold the opposing teams score
down, and to score as many points As
they could under those circumstances.
That the Blue and Gray held a five of
the caliber of the New York crowd to
fifteen points in its own gymnasium is
evidence that the players obeyed their
instructions. Georgetown was scored on
three times before it registered q goal
The end OF the first half found the score
standing 8, to ?.
Georgetown played about the same kind

DETROIT, January 20. - oscar Stan
age was the only catcher in the American
League to prevent the Athletics from
getting the opposing teams signals
This declaration was made by a member
of the Detroit team here today.
'Stanage started signals at his waist
and he was working in such harmony
with the Detroit pitchers that the Ath-
letics never had a chance to profit by sig
nal stealing" continued the player.
Bender and Hartsel were not the play
ers about whom the Athletics signal
tipping system revolved. Talk Of Bender
and Hartsel standing at third and first
bases and watching the pitchers hand to
detect the coming curve is nonsense.
George Mullin Of the Tigers throws a
drop. a slow ball, an out and a fast.
straight ball with the same motion, and
with his fingers in the same position on
the ball. Yet the Athletics eagle-eyed
tippers weren't running away with Null
Inns intention.
"The only way to keep the Athletics
from getting an mixing as to the signals
is to keep them OF second base. Stanage
learned this two years ago. and now
when a Philadelphia player reaches the
keystone sack OSCAT COVcT6 uiS SlSnoi0p
and only careful watching on the part
of the Detroit infielders can enlighten
even the Tigers.
There were numerous times last sea-
son when the Athletics reached second
base only to be stranded there. j have
seen Collins, and Barry. and Baker, and
Murphy shake their heads In disgust
when they would try to tip Stanage
away.
1.-THE reason for the Athletics winning
the pennant in 1911 is found in their
ability to catch the signals of opposing
teams. Players on teams like st. Louis
Washington or Boston-teams that We're
down In the race-were not particular
about Disgusting their attempts. and 1t
was an easy matter for the Athletics to
get their signs.

Boehling inI inc.

Manager Griffith this morning. Being a
left handler Of good size. there may be a
bright future for Boehling, though 1t
seems to be the general impression that
he is still quite too inexperienced to be
expected to make good In the American
League. He will be taken through the
training trip, however, and IL no shows
enough he will be farmed out with some
minor league club and given chance to
develop.
Akers, a pitcher, drafted by the Ma
tionals from Dubuque. and who incfden-
tally made splendid record In the Three
Eye League last season, has sent In MS
contract Akers was much-touted pitch
er last year and McAleer made an effort
to buy him, but found the price so high
that he preferred to take q chance on
the draft. The Dubuque club, failing 10
get it's price refused to sell, and decided
to take chance that Akers would pc
missed in the draft. 1t was the wash
ington clubs luck, however, to secure
him in this way, and it may be that ne
will prove a valuable man for the pitch
ing staff.
Young pitchers are Griffith's hobby. He
believes that it is possible, in course OF
time to build up q strong pitching stan
from youngsters taken off the lots. he
realizes, of course, that these need lot
of seasoning, but he argues that when
such a pitcher is developed he lasts Tor
years, because he has not suffered from
the overwork which falls to the lot OF
minor league pitchers il they happen TO
show good form.
