PLAYS
VIRGINIA SATURDAY
First Of Annual Basketball Games
Booked for the Last of
the Week.

The present week holds many good
games in store for the basketball fan,
as no less than twelve battles are book
ed among league and college quints.
Chief among these is the game between
Georgetown and Virginia, which will
take place Saturday night at the Ar
cade. Manager Fortune is confident of
handing the rivals OF the Blue and Gray
a good beating, as the team has been
going at fast pace the past two weeks.
notwithstanding their defeats at the
hands OF the fast Northern quints.
Catholic University also plays the vir-
ginia quintet this week. the game falling
on Friday, the day before the George
tOwn-Virginia battle. The Red and
Black quintet has been going at a speedy
clip and the Orange and Blue athletes
will have to go some 10 defeat them
Eastern and Business will clash in
the Scholastic League. and while the
Light Blue and White team Is conceded
the victory, the Stenographers may sur
prise the natives and hand the Capitol
Hill boys a jolt.
The big game in the Washington City
Basketball League is scheduled for
Thursday night. when the Cardinals. of
Alexandria, meet the Y. NJ. c. A. Regu-
lars. These teams are fighting tooth and
nail for second place in the league, and
the result OF the contest Will be watched
with a great deal Of interest by all local
basket shooters.
There is a good deal of speculation as
TO the appearance OF the COrcoran team
in the game with the Ingram quint. Their
suspension was raised January IL and
they are eligible to play Wednesday

MANY ENTRIES ARE
BOOKED THIS WEEK
The Washington Herald Duckpin
Tournament Entry List Closes
Saturday Night.

Saturday night the entries for The
Washington Herald duckpin tournament
will close, and the schedule will be made
up Monday. AS this tournament prom
ises to be the biggest event in the bowl
ing world of Washington in past years.
1t is expected that some little time will
be consumed In arranging the bowling
dates for the various teams.
Practically every small pin bowler in
the District will roll in the tournament,
as the handsome gold, silver, and bronze
medals that will be given as prizes by
The Washington Herald are worth work
ing for, and as the Royal alleys where
the tourney will be rolled, are in per-
feet condition, good scores are bound to
be made.
The rolling will start February l, with
the five-men teams taking the alleys
first. 1t is understood that at least thirty
teams will bowl the first week Entry
blanks can be had at the sporting depart
ment of The Washington Herald or Of
Frank Sherman, at the Royal alleys in
New York avenue.

c. j. WILL STICK,
SAYS BOSS WOODS
Manager of Catholic UniVer-
sity Ball Team Will Not
Buckle to Georgetown.
FIELD CAUSES TROUBLE
Hilltoppers Want Both Games for
West End Diamond, but the
Brooklanders Say No.
By c. w. SWAN.

Catholic University will not give In to
Georgetown, Notwithstanding the many
reports to the contrary. We viii play
Georgetown on their own field. but they
will have to play us on the Brookland
diamond" This was the statement Of
Manager Woods, Of the Catholic Univer-
sity baseball team. last night, when asked
II he would play the Hilltoppers both
games on the Georgetown diamond.
''AIl this talk about our diamond being
poor is bosh, as the Brookland infield is
as good as the Georgetown diamond, and
as the Hilltoppers won their game on our
field and lost on their own. fail to see
where they have a right to kick. We had
as many spectators at Brookland as at
Georgetown. and viii absolutely refuse
TO play both games at Georgetown" con-
tinued Woods
AS for the Vermont team favoring the
Blue and Gray, that is not true. as
shifted the Vermont date to April from
the 4th simply to please the Georgetown
manager. and we play the Vermont team
here April 6. l did this simply TO allow
the Georgetown team to play Yale here
April 4. But this has no bearing on the
Georgetown-Catholic University games.
No Reason Left.
There seems to be no reason left now
why Georgetown should not play one Of
the games at Brookland. except possibly
that Georgetown does not want TO recog-
nize Catholic University as a rival in
baseball. During the past two seasons
Catholic University has made an snvi-
able record in baseball, and from pres
ent indications the team this year will
surpass that OF all previous seasons.
But / do not believe that so small a
matter as the playing field will stop the
HilltOppers from playing the only local
college team that will be able to give
them real fight for the District hon.
ors.''
1t is plain to be seen from the fore
going that Manager Woods will not give
in to the HilItoppers, and in sticking
for his rights he has the support OF
the entire school
Last year the teams split even. the
Hilltoppers landing the game on the
Brooklanders field and the Catholic Uni
yersity nine handing Georgetown a good
beating on the West End diamond II
seems pity that so trifiing a detail as
the playing field should interfere with
these games, as they are looked for
ward to with a great deal OF interest
by many fans in the District. and the
news that Georgetown will not meet the
Brooklanders at Brookland and desire TO
play both games on the Hilltop will not
help the good work along.

OFFERS Big PURSE
Bronson Will Give Johnson $780,
600 to Fight Either Flynn
or Palzer.

New Haven. Jan 2l.-Jack johnson has
been offered $4,000 to fight either Jim
FLYNN or Al Palzer in this city July 4.
The proposition has been made to the
heavyweight champion by Harmer
Bronson. a local millionaire, and he asked
Police Chief Cowles for permission to
stage the bout IN the arena at Light
house Point. where the Connecticut
league baseball teams play Sunday base
ball. The chief has given several per-
mits for fights during the winter but
none for the outdoor season. He has
promised TO consider the offer. Mr.. Bron-
SON is waiting TO hear from Johnson.
II am sure that can get any TWO OF
the three boxers in case the chief gives
permission for the fight Flynn VIII come
for $4,000 and Palzer for 5000. My ofter
to johnson viii be $4,000, leaving slb.cco
for expenses of the AFFAIR. l will post a
certified check for $4,000 with any news

bouts here the past few years.

Hardly probable" dissented Solano.
He was simply told, in Detroit, to hand
that card to us, and was paid some
thing TO do Il. He might remember US,
all right, but would not be likely to re-
member anything about the message that
he gave US. Quit fretting about the
whole business. I firmly believe every
thing will work out all right. and that
the lost envelopes will come back to you
before morning. Then we can hurry to-
ward Mexico as fast as you may de-

1t was about that night when on

as husky, and as truly Irish as his part

CROP EXPECTED To
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Government Report on COndi.
tions Very Optimistic.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The aggre-
gate yield of the leading cereal crops
of the United States will break all
records this year.
The August government report on
crop conditions shows corn crop OF
2T9,522. 900 bushels more than a year
ago, a wheat crop exceeding that OF
1911 by 5S.662. 900 bushels, in spite OF
the losses in winter wheat. and crop
of oats S4,702,000 bushels larger than
q year ago.
In addition to these crop gains
there was estimated a crop of barley
41.660,000 bushels in excess of last
year, and a hay crop that will prob
ably break all records, the estimate
being for 100000 tons, compared to
55. 100000 tons a year ago. The tota
yield OF the five leading cereals prom
ises 1895. 100000 bushels, against
4,26S, 900 900 bushels last year.
The high cost of living will receive
body blow IL the present promise
for the crops is maintained until har
vest, as the extravagant prices which
have prevailed for cereals and meats
generally have been caused by ths
comparatively small crops of the las
few years.
