who captained the Georgetown football
team in 1906, to coach the gridiron team
next fall. Bocock's record as coach
is well known in Southern football cir
cles, and the V. p. squad should have
one of the best elevens in this section
with Branch at the helm.
During the seasons Of 1eoe and 1910
the former Georgetown captain was head
coach OF athletics at the Blacksburg col
Iege. but last year had the University Of
North Carolina team in hand. Now that
he will be back with V. p. !. great things

Thanksgiving Day contest with George

Plans Are on Foot to Or

FIVE CLUBS ARE In LINE
By c. w. SWAN.

II the present plans do not go astray.
there will be two Departmental Leagues
doing business on the White Lot Ellipse
this summer, as several parties, inter-
ested in the new project, held an in
formal conference yesterday with the
result that plans will be made at once for
the formation OF another circuit of teams
from several OF Uncle Sans different de-
partments.
Agriculture. Commerce and Labor. War,
Navy, and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission are said to have teams ready 10
enter this circuit, and when the meet
ing is held tie latter part of the week,
IL is understood that these teams will be
represented.
The idea of those back of the new cir
cult is to substitute a league for the In
ter-Bureau organization that held sway
On the White Lot last summer. and as
the class Of ball put up by the clubs IN
this league was not very high, II is plain
to be seen that the new circuit will be
welcomed by the clerks.
The new league will not come under
the commission. preferring to be a free
lance, at least, that is the opinion of
those behind II, and unless a different mo-
ton is advanced at the meeting which
viii be held to-day or tomorrow this will
be in order.
In the different departments the idea
has been greeted with open arms, and
the prospects for good. fast teams are
of the best.
Definite announcements regarding the
personnel Of the league will be made
known tomorrow night. and the sched-
ule will be published In these columns
within few days.
What promises to be the fastest in
dependent team in the District will play
fits first game Sunday, the Rosedales. of
the Northeast section of the District
meeting the Loffier team or the Inde-
pendence League.
Cotton Loveless. captain Of the Rose
dale aggregation. is one of the fastest
lads in the amateur ranks, and that he
has turned down at least three offers
to play professional ball is known to
the writer.
When the Loffier team takes the field
in its new uniforms, 1t will sure be a
team that can be seen. for Manager HIn
has outfitted the boys in dark blue uni
forms, with bright orange trimmings,
such as bands around the caps. letters
down the front of the shirts. and stripes
around the stockings. These uniforms
have to be seen to be appreciated.
The plan Of those behind the East
Washington Sunday School League. that
OF limiting the circuit to four clubs, is
a good one, as 1t gives the teams more
games, and In more than one way helps
the cause along. With a long schedule,
which win be found elsewhere in the
sporting section, the circuit should have
a most successful season.

TAFT's ISSUE.
Hill Says Democrats Ignored Report Of
Tariff Board,
Especial to The Bulletin.)

(Sp6clal 1n0
Washington, Jan. 21.-At the meet
ing of the Connecticut Republican as
sociation of the District of Columbia
last week Representative Hill spoke Oh
what he called William Howard Tafts
issue. He said that the president
claimed that he was required by the
constitution to cast one vote for or
against any tariff bill and he thought
he ought to be entitled to all the in
formation it was possible to get on the
subject before he cast that vote. The
president, Mr.. Hill said asked the blst
congress for non political body of
expert investigators to go into the DIFF
ferent schedules and to report to him
the facts. The ways and means COM
mittee Of that congress, republicans as
well as democrats, voted and spoke in
favor of the proposition. The pTes1
dent was given his tariff board. He
instructed them to find for him the
cost of the production of wool and
woolens in all parts Of the world. He
did not ask them for advice. He did
not ask them TO prepare for him a
schedule on wool. He only directed
them to And and report the facts.
These facts, Mr.. Hill said. had been
given to the. president and by him
transmitted to the house. This report,
Mr.. Hill said, was the greatest work
of its kind in the history of the world,
but the majority OF the ways and
means committee would only allow
| enough copies to be printed to give one
to each member Of the house. refusing
to allow enough to supply the demands
from those interested in the wool in
dustry.
The majority Of the house, Mr.. Hill
| said, have decided to disregard the
valuable information gathered in the
two years work of the tariff board
and are going to bring in first steel
and iron schedule, next the chemical
schedule and then the sugar schedule,
none Of which have been investigated
by the tariff board Mr. Hill said he
had information that a caucus Of the
majority was to be called this week
and these schedules submitted for lis
consideration. Mr.. Hill paid his re-
spects to the caucus as a legislative
body, saying that 126 men selected by
a party primary in the south had the
power to control the caucus and
through the caucus they controlled the
house, and thus controlled the legisla-
ton for the entire United States.
He said that he had no fear of the
result OF the election next fall, as he
had faith that the American people
would uphold the president in his eff
forts to get out as nearly a perfect
tariff bill as 1t is possible to create
! One that would be fair to the manu-
| facturer, to the v0rkingnan and to the
| consumer. He thought that when It is
! explained to the country that the
| democratic members OF the ways and
! means committee unanimously voted to
. create the tariff board and now ignore
| the information furnished by it at the
| expense of so much time and money.
| it will be realized that nothing to the
| advantage of the people can be ex-
| pected from that party and they will
| elect republican majority to, the next
| congress to assist President Taft in
| giving to the country the promised re-
| form.
