beat up a fan Yesterday with the result
that Hughey Jennings will have to face

as to what would be done in the matter,
he said. '"rhere is no provocation suf-

here that Johnson will suspend Cobb

of the same medicine. Umpire Wester.

TUG" FURY MAY Be
ELECTED CAPTAIN
OF BLUE AND GRAY
Hilltoppers to Choose Base,
ball Leader Next
Sunday.

The election of a captain for the
Georgetown University baseball team for
1918 will in all probability take place
next Sunday, and with the selection of
Captain Cogans successor the 1912 cam
paign will pass into the diamond his
tory of the Blue and Gray institution.
Just who will be chosen is hard to
conjecture. as none of the Hilltop war
riors stand apart from the rest as far
as ability goes. Billy Sitterding per-
haps showed the most consistent form
throughout the season, but the fact
that the diminutive Richmond athlete
VIII be graduated next June eliminates
him from the competition.
In point OF service. Jim Fury, "Inky''
Davis. and Jake Connolly have the call.
and IL seems likely that either Fury or
Davis will get the honor, with chances
favoring the former. While Fury has
had a poor year OF It because of a
strained tendon in his shoulder, which
interfered with his throwing and bat
ting, he should be chosen on the
strength Of the remarkable work he did
last spring when in condition. Many
Blue and Gray victories in 1911 were
directly the result of Fury's efforts
and It seems probable that he will be
rewarded by the captaincy on Sunday
The fact that Davis is captain of the
track team practically eliminates him
from the running for the leadership OF
the diamond aggregation, although his
playing around third base has been OF
the highest order throughout the sea.

average college ball player.

VIRGINIA APPLIES
FOR ADMISSION TO
COLLEGIATE ASSN
Orange and Blue to Send
Athletes to South At
lantic Meet.

BALTIMORE, Md. May 16.-Presi-
dent Joseph Townsend England, of
the South Atlantic intercollegiate AS
sociation, annouced this morning that
the University OF Virginia has applied
for membership in that organization,
and that in the future games the big
V will be a conspicuous emblem in
the struggles on the track and field
The fact that Virginia enters the
association is good news to the fol-
lowers of the cinderpath, for It means
that the contests In the future will
be doubly interesting, inasmuch as
the Charlottesville institution has al
ways turned out crack teams. Virginia
applied for admission without request
from the other members OF the South
Atlantic intercollegiate Association,
and 1t is gratifying to the present
officers to find Virginia seeking ad-
mission.
For some reason or other Virginia
did not enter heartily into the move
ment to have organized track and
field athletics in the South, and did
not apply for admission when the or
ganization was perfected. The first
championship meet, which was held
at Homewood recently. and was won
by the Johns Hopkins University. was
rousing success. Next year fur
should fly, for with Virginia and Hop
kins in the running the fiercest sort

PRINCETON. N. j.. May 16.-Three
baseball games, a track meet with Cor

sylvania and Columbia, a tennis meet
with Yale and a performance by. the
Princeton Triangle Club, all to take
place here on Saturday, will mark one
Of the biggest days Princeton has had
in years, from an athletic point of view
In many ways the regatta on Lake
Carnegie will be the most important of
the many eevnts, and the Tigers are
eager to make a showing. The final
time test over the mile and three-quar-
ter course, was far from satisfactory,
but improvement is looked for in the
big race. The course was covered in
minutes and S5 seconds which is fully
twenty seconds slower than that done
by last years eight against Cornell and
Yale.
The PENNSYLVANIA crew will arrive
here today and the Columbia eight on

to the course. The race will be held
after the Cornell track meet and Penn
