MULuCAN PLEASED
WITH HIS CHANCES
Georgetown Coach Figures He
Will Develop a Winning
Track Team.

Coach Jimmie Mulligan of the George
town University track team is very
much pleased with the showing Of sew
eral OF the men on the squad. Mulligan
predicts a good, all-around team for
Georgetown this year.
He has several good sprinters, who
have been showing UP very we'll. Young
Brewer and Golden so far have shown
great form. Golden has been able to
profit great deal under Mulligan's
tutelage. One thing that this young
ster failed in last year was the manner
in which he was able to get away from
the mark. He was very slow in this
respect, but SO far this season he has
improved a great deal in this particular
thing. Brewer has decided to confine
himself solely to the sprints. In the big
meets last year he was used in about
everything but the long-distance run.
With Capt. Bob Eller. these three men
will surely be able to hold their own
of the country.
One thing that is troubling Coach Null
ligan a great deal is the fact that he
mas only three men on whom he can place
much reliance for the relay team.
These men are Chapman. Davis and
lAtlOOIl. 1dslS 1ldS lOl JCt ASPO1 tOSAs eAA
it is understood that he will not be on
hand until after Christmas. Davis is a
valuable relay man, as was demonstrated
on his two performances against Vir-
ginia. Chapman will be in fine shape
when the big meet is pulled off. AT the
present time he Is just a trifle over
weight. but with a good deal Of hard
work he will soon round into shape.
Campazzi was out yesterday for the
first time this year. Campazzii will be
worked very hard by Coach Mullfgan in
hopes that he may be able to perform
on the relay team against Virginia
In the mile and half-mile runs George
town is very we'll fortified. Johnnie Gal
lagher will surely shine in the mile run,
as he is in a class by himself when long
distance running is considered. Sam
Foley OF the foot ball squad will surely
be on hand to participate in the mile run.

important Business On.

CHICAGO. December 11.-Executive
officers OF the American League base
ball clubs gathered in Chicago today for
the annual meeting of the organization,
which was scheduled to open this after
noon at 1 O'Clock. Some of the officials
had not arrived early today. but it was
expected they would be on hand by the
time President Johnson called the meet
ing to order. Only one thing was given
out as sure to be done at the meeting
and that was the formal award to Bos-
ton of the league championship for the
season of 1912. Owners were silent on
trades and although admitting they had
materiL they were willing to trade for
something better. there was nothing on
the surface to indicate any startling
transfers.
Crawford Will Stick.
The rumor a few days ago that Sam
Crawford Of the Detroit club might come
to Chicago was denied by President
Navin. who said that the fielder would
remain with him.
There was much speculation as to
Fielder Jones and the managerial berth
OF the New York Americans Jones
denied that he had any intention of TAX
ing the position, but there was a per-
sistent rumor that there was a deal on
between President Farrell and himself.
President Comiskey of the Chicago club
had added to the story by saying he
would not stand between Jones and the
deal Jones is still on the reserve list
Of Chicago.
Chance has been approached by Frank
Farrell, owner of the New York club;
in fact, they reached an understanding
before Chance left for California to spend
the winter it was declared today. Chance
is reported as having said that he would
become manager of the New York club
providing arrangements could be made
for his release from the rival league.
Everything promises to be peaceful
throughout the meeting, which may last
only one day and may run over until
Friday. The session will be. han
shaking contest and lOvefest, as one
club owner expressed 1T. About the only
official business to come up will be the
awarding of the 1912 pennant to the
worlds championship Boston club and a
statement of the leagues finances.
Following are the club owners and man
ayers who will attend:
Charles Comiskey and ames Callahan.
