Though Manager Griffith has repeated

a trade of Jack knight for one of the
Nationals catchers is very apt to take

Catcher Blair was allowed to go to
Rochester, thus virtually leaving the

If size counts for anything Griffith will

SIGNS TO
MANAGE THE TIGERS

SCRANTON, Pa. January 1S.-On his
way to Detroit from Providence r. l.,
F. J. Navin of the Detroit American
League team dropped off in this city last
night and got Hugh Jennings name to a
one-year contract to manage the Tigers
in 1912. The terms were not disclosed.
but Jennings admitted the figure fell a
little short of John McGraw's $4,000
stipend
Jennings and Navin had little or no
difficulty agreeing on salary, and after
the papers were all signed the two
Tiger leaders arranged for the training
trip of the team. The youngsters leave
for Monroe. La, February ~. and the
veterans leave March 8.
Navin pooh-poohed the new outlaw
league. He says the promoters haven't
a chance to gain foothold in the ma jor
league cities.
Il can see where they might have a
fair chance in New York because there's
enough people there to patronize dozen
clubs, but they show their hands when
they try to bluff into such towns as
Reading" said Navin.
Among other things the Detroit mag
nate denied was the reported trade of
Third Baseman Moriarty to Cleveland
for. Graney and Stovall. He won't have
any use for Stovall. as physicians assure
him that Del Gainor will be in fine
shape, and it is settled that Moriarty
will be seen at his old place at third
base again next season.
jennings is considering the advisable
ity of taking a chef and corps of wait
ers on the training trip in order to con-
dition the Tigers on proper diet. He will
quatrer his men in one large building,
near the grounds, if the training table

NEW YORK, January 1s.-The trou-

1t was impossible to secure a quorum
of the Jockey Club stewards yesterday,
but at meeting of the turf solons today
the application will be granted and the
meeting will be conducted under official
approval. It is said that the Charleston
track promoters failed to apply for a Ii
cense before because Of m understand

nounced that turfmen who took part in
an unlicensed meeting would be "out-
lawed,' the track owners opened their
eyes and hurried to this city to make

TO MEET
A. AND N. OCTOBER II

1t was officially announced by Man
ager Loichot of the Georgetown Uni
versity foot ball team that the Blue and
Gray eleven will play the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of North Caro-
lima Thursday, October II. 1t is planned
by the arrangements of the above-men-
toned teams to make this game an an
nual affair, as there is the most friendly
feeling existing between the two instltu-
lions as well as the keenest possible rivalry.
The date of this game falls in the week
that the North Carolina state fair is
held at Raleigh, and as this battle Will
play an important part In deciding tne
southern championship in foot ball 1t
promises to be as big financial success
as it will be taken from the standpoint OF
the sport itself.
The year before last Georgetown Uni
versity played the eleven from North
Carolina at Raleigh. and the game result
ed in a tie score after one Of the fiercest
battles that had ever been fought on the
Farmers gridiron. Owing to the fact
that the two institutions could not ar
range a satisfactory date last season. no
game was played, but it is understood
contract that was signed this morning.
that this game will be scheduled each
season on the same date that 1t Is TO De
played on next year, which agreement
will give Georgetown the best date OF
the North Carolina schedule owing to
the fact that the state fair is held at
the same time in Raleigh each year.
1t was also announced this morning a.
the Hilltop that the Blue and Gray would
not play the Navy next year. A salts
factory date could not be decided upon,
and as a result negotiations between the
two teams were called of. Georgetown
has most Of the dates for later In the
season, at which time the Navy game
would be scheduled, If it were to be
PLAYED, in reserve for teams that have
been on the Hilltop schedule for several
seasons, and as these contests are prac-
tically settled upon it will be Impossible
for game to be arranged between the
Westenders and the Midshipmen for the
coming season.

AFTER GOLF OFFICIALS.
Secretary Watson Wants His Hand
icap Lists at Once.

NEW YORK, January 1S--Omcials OF
many well known golf clubs throughout
the country are severely arraigned in
document given out last night by r. c.
Watson secretary of the United States
Golf Association, who gives warning that
members Of sixty clubs will be barred
from competition in the amateur golf
championship of the United States at
Chicago next July unless they comply at
once with the demand for official handi-
cap lists.
The herculean task of compiling ma
tional handicap list of golfers in order to
reduce the entry list for the amateur
championship to the best caliber has been
undertaken by the organization, but the
work is held up because of the failure of
sixty clubs to send handicap lists or to
give any official notification as to whether
they have any players eligible to COM
pete.
1T is high time says Secretary Wat
son, for these clubs to be brought up
with a short rein"
The list of delinquent clubs includes the
country clubs of Augusta, Louisville,
Memphis Nashville, New Orleans. Wash
ington. Roanoke, Rutland and Oak Hill
and the golf clubs at Fall River, Lenox,
Cohasset Manhattan, Wollaston. Prince
ton. Savannah, Palmetto and Saratoga
Springs.

Just about half of the members of the

just fifteen properly signed contracts are

There remain seventeen players who have

these are dissatisfied with the terms Of

Georgetown will leave tomorrow morn
ing on its northern basket ball trip. The
Blue and Gray five will play two games
while away and will return Sunday MORN
ing. Tomorrow, in New York, New York
University will be the opposing quint,
while Saturday the five representing the
United States Naval Academy will be
the one played.
Last year the New York University
quint appeared here and won from the
Blue and Gray in rather easy fashion.
1t is hardly probable that Georgetown
will win either of the two games it has
scheduled for the trip. Both the New
York University and Army teams are
above the average Of northern fves and
the Georgetown five will find itself up
against just about the same caliber of
basket ball that was shown by ST Johns
here the other evening, besides having
to play the two mentioned teams on their
home floors, which in. itself will give
them great deal of advantage

1t is generally believed that Milan, who
received substantial raise last season,
wants to get long-term contract at ad-
vanced figures. He is following in the
wake of Walter Johnson, who signed
for 5000. OF course, Milan does not
demand that much salary, but he
realizes that he is classed among
the best outfielders in the league, and
naturally has ambitions to be paid ac-
cordingly.
Manager Griffith proposes to install
some sort of device which will protect
the infield on rainy days. He is now
considering several schemes to bring this
about. One of these is a canvas covering
which operates with electric motors and
when not in use is hidden under the sur
face in front of the grandstand. This
covering can be put over the intield in
less time. There is an enormous ex-
pense attached to the installing. of such
devices. but they pay for themselves dur
ing a season.

Just how valuable foot ball is to an in
stitution from a point of financing the
other branches of sport is shown by the
example of Harvard during the last year.
The Crimson foot ball season ended with
more than $4,000 in the treasury: clear
profit. but the other sports drew on this
amount SO heavily that the end of the
year showed deficit of more than 10000
in the athletic association treasury.
