Captain Roald Amundsen is concerned

Amundsen annexed the coveted hon

also reached the South Pole, although
there will be great anxiety until he

There seems to be a general ac-

WAR CLOUD
GENTLY BLOWN AWAY
Differences Over New National
Base Ball Agreement Settled
by Hermann and Johnson.

NEW YORK, February 17-Failure of
American League magnates to ratify the
changes in the national agreement at
their recent meeting in Chicago caused
the exchange yesterday Of kilograms be-
tween President Ban johnson and Chair
man Garry Hermann of the national
commission. At the Chicago meeting
President .Navn Of the Detroit club OBJ
jected to the clause by which purchased
players were to be subject to the waiver
law as drafted players are Navih claimed
it was an injustice to force a club to give
up high-prtced player at the waiver
price of $3.50, plus $50 bonus
After communicating with Johnson,
Garry Hermann said: THE American
League has left the matter Of the revised
agreement in President Johnsons hands,
and there is no reason to believe that he
will not report in favor Of adopting the
revisions. 1t is evident the phraseology
of the amendments was not clear to Mr..
Navin. Otherwise there would have been
no objection. because the very change
that Navin objects to was made at the
Cincinnati conference last month. Under
the section, II two clubs cannot agree on
the price to be paid for q purchased play
er the matter shall be referred to the
national commission to fix price, l ex-
pect to be notified in a day or SO that the
national agreement has been adopted by
the American League in its revised form. -
Thus does another war cloud fade away.

KEEP DOUBLES TITLE
indoor Tennis Champions De-
feat Grant and Burt at :
Seventh Regiment.

NEW YORK, February 17.-FredericR
B. Alexander and Theodore Roosevelt
Pell won the national indoor tennis
doubles championship for the SECOND
successive year on the courts OF the TN
Regiment Armory yesterday In the
Anal they defeated wylie c. Grant and
L. Miuens Burt In straight sets by the
score of OF, Ga. Go The remarKa.DIe
thing about the performance OF the
champions was that in coming through
the tournament they did not lose set.
Practically the battle was fought IN
the first set 1t was In the first sixteen
games that Alexander and Peii squeezed
from their opponents every bit OF speed
thew possessed. and shook their con-
fidence by coming from behind and Win
ming.
At the beginning Grant. brought off
cross volleys with splendid effect, SO
that the game ran along with Grant
and Burt in the lead to Go. Alexander
and Pell, however. cut loose Tor some
wonderfully fast rallies and took the set
at 81 Then the rapidity of the cham
pion pair came to the fore. They kept
the others almost continually on the de-
fensive. Both Alexander and Pell show
ed marked preference for the alleys, and
there they repeatedly shot for the points.
Little or no lobbing marked the match.
1t was chiefly fought out on the voliey
and drive, which brought about a pecul-
lar shot in the last set, where Peil stop
ped one Of Grants terrific smashes by
placing his racquet to the floor to re-
turn the ball. William b. Cragin, jr.,
and Grant meet for the singles cham
pionship today.

GEORGETOWN MEET WILL
BE BEST IN THIS SECTION
Thompson Secured to Referee and Several
Relays Are Already Matched-M.
A. G.. to Run Richmond.

With the time Of the Georgetown Uni
versity meet but twp weeks off, Manager
Kingsley of the Blue and Gray track
squad has started preparing his list of
officials, and announced last evening that
he had secured the services of Mike
Thompson to referee the Hilltop games
that are to be held at Convention Hall
next month. Thompson is supervisor Of
athletics at Mount st. Mary's College,
and has been connected with the different
branches of sport in this. vicinity for
several years. Mike refereed the Johns
Hopkins meet at Baltimore last year and
it was the cencensus of opinion of the
local critics that the Mount st. Mary's
man fulfilled his Office with the greatest
possible efficiency.
Mike Thompson ranks as one of the
best foot ball referees in the country, as
he is especially popular at the. biggest
universities such as Yale, Princeton, the
Army and Navy, together with several
other institutions that rank among the
first universities in the east. Thompson
has grown up with athletics in the vtcin-
ity and now stands as one Of the most
prominent sporting men In the south.
Manager Kingsley also announced that
arrangements have been practically COM
p.eted for a match relay race between
the Maryland Agricultural College and
Richmond College. These two institu-
lions met at the Blue and Gray meet last
season, and the race resulted In one OF
the most interesting contests Of the
evening. The teams representing these
schools this year are of approximately
the same caliber, and as there is the
greatest possible interest existing be-
tween the two colleges most exciting
race will. in all probability, result from

the meeting of Farmers and the Rich
mond four.
Last evening the entry of John Paul
Jones was received by Manager Kingsley,
miller will figure in point gaining for
Cornell. In the Boston Amateur Asso-
citation games that were recently held at
the Hub the Ithacan not only succeeded
in winning the mile, but also in estab-
fishing snew record on the Boston track
doubt, among the best collegiate distance
runners in the country, as he was the
intercollegiate champion at his distance
until last year.
Greater attention to matching relays is
being given by Manager. Kingsley this
year than has ever before been given by
any other manager Of the Hflltoppers.
With the exception of the race between
the big universities, which will have
bearing enough on the collegiate cham
pionship to lend the greatest possible in
terest to the events, 1t is ALMOST safe to
say that there will not be q race that will
be an uninteresting one-sided affair. The
comparative records Of all the teams that
are to be matched will be thoroughly
looked into before the final step Of sched-
uling race between any two relays, and
as q result the fans in this vicinity will
be treated to a set. Of games that will
not lack interest from start to finish.
Tickets for the Georgetown meet that
is to be held at Convention Hall were put
on sale yesterday morning. and the early
demand for seats has been very large.
The Blue and Gray meet should be a
greater success this season than has ever
been known in the history o track meets
at the university over Rock Creek.
and there is little doubt that larger
crowd will be on hand to see the Hill
toppers' games this season than there
has been in several past years.
