/ Manager Ryan of the Catholic Uni
Yersity basket bali team has just COM
pleted one of the most attractive sched-
ules ever placed before basket ball team
representing the Brookland institution.
| He has arranged twenty games, fourteen
of which are to be played in this city.
| The season opens December Z, with
Gallaudet College and closes with Uni
versity OF Maryland, February 26. On
| the schedule are to be found Virginia
| ST. Johns, Brooklyn \. y: A. and Nj
| of North Carolina Fordham University
| and Trinity College of North Carolina,
all of which turn out good teams. 1t is
! for the first time in the history of basket
| ball at the C. L. that Fordham Univer-
| sity, Trinity College of North Carolina,
y. and NJ. of North Carolina and George
| Washington University have appeared on
the schedule and Manager Ryan deserves
a world of credit for his good work. He
has also arranged a trip to New York
during the middle of February. On the
! 20th the team plays Delaware College at
Newark. Del, and on the 2lst and 22d
| it meets Fordham and st. Johns, in
New York.
! There is but one thing missing on the
/ schedule and that is the absence OF
game with Georgetown University. 1t Is
! to be regretted that these two local Cath
Ollie universities are at odds over some
small matter. 1t deprives tn public OF
d chance to see well contested game.
and the managers should get together
| and patch up their differences.
/ Fred Rice, the former Georgetown and
| Catholic University player, has been
| secured to coach the team. Although
| this is his first year as a coach, there
| is little doubt as to his success, as he
4 haS a
| student of the game. With the material
| on hand and a capable leader in Capt.
| Clancy. he should put fast team on
| the floor OF last years team there are
! Jack Lynch, Clancy, Horan, Lambert and
| Mcdonald out for the team. Tumbull,
| although stl at the university, will in
| all probability not be able 10 play, as he
underwent an operation last week. and 1t
/ is not thought that he will recover his
| strength In time.
| Manager Ryan has been having quite
| a time in trying TO secure a place TO

solved. Cincinnati expects to get Tinker,
but just who Frank Farrell has in mind
Is still matter of conjecture.
About the only individual who has not
been mentioned as a probable successor
to Harry Wolverton is Hal Chase. Chase
had one fling at the job and made a
mess of it. Farrell evidentaly has his
eye set on some manager of reputation.
who. for some reason or other, is not yet
at liberty to take hold, but no one seems
to be able to guess his name.
That large cities furnish only COM
paratiVely small percentage of the pro-
fessional ball players is proven by a
perusal Of the towns in which the play
ers live. On the Washington team, for
instance of the thirty-tive players on the
list only three live in regular cities These
are Mcbride Of Milwaukee, Foster of
Chicago and Schaefer of the same town.
All the others are from towns which it is
no easy matter to find on the maps, and
some few are miles away from rail-
road Milan lives in one of these. Linden,
Tenn. Every large city has thousands
of boys who play ball all during the sum-
mer months yet the best players seem to
come from the rural districts.
If their showing against the Cubans is
any criterion, then Connie Mack need
not worry about the veteran pitchers on
his staff Bender, Coombs and Plank are
pitching their best ball down In the
island and they are taking their reg
ular turns on the slab, too. The chances
are that none of them has to exert him
self to any great extent to win his
game but all are showing to much
better advantage than have some of the
pitchers of other teams who have ven-
tured to Cuba. Whether 1t Is a good
thing for these pitchers, who went
through a hard season, to be working
while their rivals are resting during the
off season is, of course. question: but
the chances are that Mack was fairly
well satisfied on that proposition before
he gave his consent that the trip be
made.
If the players association makes the
demands expected of it and insists on the
players drawing salary during the train
ing season, the players may find them
selves up against a hard proposition.
owner Navin of the Detroit club let the
cat out of the bag when he said that il
| that they are getting themselves in con-
dition that southern trips will be aban-
doned, and that the players will be ex-
pected to report for duty in condition to
| play ball, and failure to do so will mean
suspension without pay. This would be
| the natural outcome of the proposed
proposition by the players There must
be equity in such matters. and if the
clubs pay their money to fit the players
| so that they can earn their salary, they
undoubtedly are doing their share
Should matters come to the point which
is made clear by Navin it would mean
some very poor base ball in the early
spring. 1t would be weeks after the season
| had opened before the teams would get to
going at their normal speed, and as a re-
suit, the game would suffer. But 1t all
goes to show that the club owners are
not going to allow the players to change
the present state Of affairs.

DEPARTMENT CHESS

The rooms of the Capital City Chess
and Checker Club were crowded last
Wednesday night, on the occasion of the
second round of the departmental en-
counters The teams contesting were In
terror against ''Other Departments and
Agriculture against "Al-Comers.' Re-
sarding the first of these it was unfor-
tunate that Team Captain Weeks was not
able TO place his strongest team in the
field against the champion Interiors. lie
suffered a heavy defeat in consequence.
In this match Walker, Lowell, Boykin
and Byler all won for Interior but Mum

Team Captain Peet of the non-depart-
mental team was also placed in a losing
position against Agriculture. because of
the absence of his two strongest players.
Adams and Fry. Only two games We're
completed in this match. Peet winning
cleverly for the 'All-Comers, while Rob
erts, with bad game, brought off a
surprise end coup which netted one for
Agriculture.
Several of the cracks are already show
ing excellent form in these matches. This
is interesting in view of the probable re-
turn match for the District championship
between Zapoleon and Walker. which II
is understood is in course of arrange
ment. One OF the best games played last
Wednesday was by Lowell, who Is also
touted for championship aspirations, and
from his previous club form he would
seem to be fairly qualified for a shot at
the highest local honors in chess How
ever as champion Zapoleon is going to
be otherwise engaged this could not hap
pen in the near future. Apropos of this,
some remarks We're heard to the effect
that match between Lowell and Whit
taker would fit in eXcellently with the
present situation, and from the tenor of
these remarks 1t appeared that the Capt.
tai City Club man would not lack for
backing if such an event were consum-
mated.
In next Wednesdays team matches the
pairingS will be as follows: Interiors
against All-Comers; Agriculture against
Other Departments. 1t is rumored that
Team Captain Peet is going to be loaded
up mot in personal sense) for this
occasion in order to try and stop In

welcome. The individual and team scores

Wendell Leads Team Well.

Capt. Wendell led his team with spirit
and decision, encouraging the Crimson
players when they showed signs of fall
tering, and using every pound of his
strength in ploWing repeatedly into the
Yale line.
The Crimson eleven's attack was di-
rected by Gardner along lines which
aimed to make the most of Felton's and
Brickley's kicking ability. He varied the
point of attack so that the Yale forwards
were often at a loss to find the Crimson
runner
Harvard's initial touchdown today was
the first the Crimson has scored against
Yale since 1901 and was the first score
on the Yale eleven this season. The
Crimson's winning score was the greatest
made in games between the two colleges
since Yale won, 23 to 0, in 1902, and the
Blues losing score of zero marks the
sixteenth consecutive year in which the
losing team has not scored. In the thirty
four games played since 1915 Yale has
won twenty-five games, Harvard has won
six games. five games have been tied
and one was forfeited to Yale.

The story telling how President Murphy
of the Cubs employed a detective. who
gained the players confidence by mas
querading as pitcher Stone," recruited
from the Southern League, made quite a
hit On top of the revelations comes the
fact that more than two months before
the season closed Murphy suggested 40
Manager Chance the use of sleuths. The
leader wouldn't consider it for a moment
and told Murphy much. The Cub
magnate even went SO far as to promise
Chance he would give up the idea, but
the promise broke before the season
closed At that time Chance told Murphy
that never in his career as Cub had he
been guilty of questionable act against
either a player or an owner, and he
didn't want to spoil clean slate.

Out Boys for Coming Meets.
DIVIDED INTO 3 CLASSES
First Time Association Has Started
All-Around Track
Team.

Athletes Of the Y. NJ. c. A. boys de-
partment start training for the track
squad tomorrow. Gordon Law, physical
director of the boys department, said yes
terday that he would put out three teams
this winter one of which would comprise
boys from twelve to fourteen, another of
boys from fourteen to sixteen. while the
membership of the third includes boys up
to nineteen years old. About seventy
five boys are already entered.
These teams will be prepared for all
track and field events declared Mr. Law
yesterday. They will be especially strong
in running, but will also be represented
in such events as jumping, putting the
shot, weight-throwing and the hurdles
This is the first time that the Wash
ington Y NJ. c. \. boys department has
started an all-round track team. When
the organization is completed we shall
be able to compete with any aggregation
of boy athletes on their own terms If
they want to meet us on basis of
weight Well be there, and if they want
to make age qualifications we can classify
for that as well.
To Meet All Corners.
II Is possible tnat the PUBIC Athletic
League of the District will also organize
track teams for all events, and l under
stand that the boys department of the
Baltimore Y. NJ. c. \. is likewise con-
sdering the plan. When spring comes
round we'll be willing TO take on these
associations. or any other ciub, in all
track events or in any particular con-
tests they may care to select.
The work of getting these track
teams into shape won't be nearly as
complicated as 1t may seem at first
thought. We have half a dozen gym
nasium classes, the grouping depending
upon the boys ages or occupations, ana
contest Thus the boys from twelve to
day, the boys from fourteen to six
teen another day, those up to nine
teen a third, while on still other days
the gymnas sium is reserved for the ath-
letic contests of high school students
and working boys, respectively.
I'm this way the problem of classi-
flying competitors for the various track
teams to be put out next spring has
already been solved. Furthermore. as
about half the events in these weekly
contests are of a track or field nature,
the young competitors are getting lot
of experience, which will be valuable to
them when they go out to meet other
organizations, and at the same time in
terest in these weekly contests is al
ways kept at it's height by awarding
prizes to the winners or by keeping
comparative scores.

To Be Ready for Meets.

"For a good many years the boys de-
partment has specialized in the runs
dashes and relay events, which possibly
constitute the most interesting, If not
the most important of all track sports
and the membership Of our track teams is
already taking shape, so far as this end
of the card is concerned. When the

tional Guards indoor meets come around
you can count upon 1t that the boys de-
partment will be represented with a full
complement of runners. whether or not

In all of these meets, it ought to be
possible for the boys department ath-

have the only banked running track in
the city exclusively for boys use; and
