FIRST PRACTICE GAME ,
IS FOR TOMORROW
Georgetown First and Second
String Men Will Be
Lined Up.

According to q report given out by
Capt. Cogan Of the Georgetown Univer-
sity base ball team last evening, the
first practice game Of the local season
will be held on the varsity field tomorrow
afternoon between the first and second
teams Of the Blue and Gray squad. This
practice game will mark the first Of a
series that Coach Sprigman has planned
for his men before the collegiate season
opens, and 1t is doubtful IL better way
could have been adopted by which to get
a line on the several candidates that are
out for the West End varsity than to get
them in a practice struggle, and thus see
them work under fire. Every candidate
that has reported for the local university
sition in all the practice battles that are
to come before the opening OF the season
and thus all the ball tossers will be
given q thorough try-out before any cut
is made in the squad.
No conclusions can be drawn from the
smake-up of the first team in these prac-
tice games, as regards the final choice
OF Coach SprigmRn, as the two teams
will be chosen as nearly equal as pos
sible. In these early season contests the
Hilltop executive will not only be In q
position to look over the fielding ability
of his men, but can also get good line
mound men that Georgetown has on the
squad will be pitted against one another
every afternoon. From tomorrow on.
these games will constitute a part of
the regular afternoon workout for the
whole squad.

With this years basket ball season

II the Georgetown University props have

DIAMOND CAREER NOT ENDED
WHEN ARM GOES BAD, SAYSDAVIS
Plenty Of Opportunities Remain for Major
Leaguers After They Are Un-
able to Keep Up Pace.

MOBILE. March Hilary Davis is
one Of those individuals who does not be-
lieve that a ball players diamond career
is ended when his arm goes out Of COM
mission and his legs lose their speed.
BALL players too often devote most
Of their energy looking after their sal
ary," he declared with emphasis today.
'"They argue that at the best they have
only a few years to stay in the game.
They believe that during that time they
must collect enough coin to last the re-
mainder OF their lives. They see visions
Of going back to hard labor, Of losing
all the comforts Of life which they en-
joyed while drawing q large salary as q
member Of a major league.
That's wrong. It's entirely wrong.
They don't appreciate the hugeness OF
this game. Base ball is an immense
proposition. There's not the slightest
reason in the world why man shouldn't
make it his life work just as man
makes the study OF the auto business his
life work when he enters the ONCE OF an

A big athletic meet may be held in this
city during the month of June. Plans
for such an event have been contem-
plated for some time, and 1t is likely that
the District will have a chance to wit
ness its first real outdoor set Of track
and field games.
The Chamber Of Commerce is behind
the movement to develop and hold the
meet, which. 1t is planned. will be the
largest affair of the kind ever pulled of
in this section. Communications have
been sent to those who are In charge OF
athletics in the different schools and
clubs. in order that a consensus Of opin-
ion might be obtained as to the advisable
ity of holding such a meet.
There Is every likelihood that the meet
will be held unless present plans go
amiss.
Mistakes have been made in one or two
instances in regard to the time for the
holding Of the Maryland Agricultural
College intercollegiate and interscholastic
meet this spring. In one or two of the
publications 1t has appeared that the date
set was May II, when in reality the
games are to come off May IL.

''ONE ROUND" HOGAN
IS DISQUALIFIED
Referee White Says He Ig-
nored Four Warnings for
Hitting in CIinches.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE bout be-
tween Leach Cross Of New York and
One Round Hogan Of California, at the
Madison Avenue Athletic Club last night
ended suddenly and Unexpectedly after
the first three minutes Of fighting. just
as the bell changed Referee Charlie
White disqualified Hogan for hitting in
the clinches. This gave the fight to
Cross.
The termination OF the bout came SO
quickly that the crowd was dumfounded.
Very few heard White say that Hogan
was disqualified, and why he had been
punished. A clamor arose when the
crowd learned what had happened, and
for ten minutes the people stood on
their feet yelling for q decision.
While the uproar was at its highest

ropes and said: ION behalf Of the man.

Referee White left the ring without
giving q decision. 1t Is up to Charlie
White to come back into the ring and
state his reasons for stopping the bout. "
White, who had jumped out Of the ring
as soon as he waved Hogan to his COR
ner and had disqualified him. was now
In the dressing room. He was sent for
and asked to make a statement. After
q fed minutes delay he climbed through
the ropes and said:
Under the Frawley law the boxing
commissioners have decided that there

know the rules and have always tried
to live up to them. I warned Hogan
four times after he had hit Cross in the
breakaways that he must stop that kind
Of work. He refused to listen to each
caution, and when he hit Cross the NTH
time disqualified him."
The sudden end of the bout caused the
large crowd to leave Suffers Harlem
Casino, the home Of the Madison Athletic
Club, in an ugly mood. Men who had
paid from 81 to S. to see the bout were
wild with rage over the unsatisfactory
outcome Of the match. In their anger
some Of the hot-headed patrons suggest
ed wrecking the furniture and the win
dows in order to even up the score. But
wiser counsel prevailed and the bellig-
erent spectators were Gained down and
no damage resulted. Many left the build
ing making threats.

athletic commission, was at the ring
side. He upheld White. saying the ref
cree was justified in his decision.

have retired or who have been forced
to retire as base ball players in recent
years. Think for a moment what vast
number OF them are still directly con.
nected with the sport.
THE game Is just like q business. The
man who studies it, who Is attentive
who is ambitious. who does what's right
who gives the club all that he possesses
who takes care Of himself, is the man
who will stick to the game and who will
find that 1t will pay him dividends as
long as any other line of work would.
Just consider for q moment how many
minor league clubs in this country are
more than anxious to get a man of in
telligence at a good salary to manage
their clubs. Think Of the number OF
scouts employed by major league clubs.
There's room for every man who Is will
ing to try to advance in his profession.
II don't intend to sermonize, but that's
q plain statement Of fact. and conditions
support my argument.
Don't think for minute that I be-
lieve a ball player isn't entitled to q
healthy salary. On the contrary, be-
lieve he is, and earns 1t. What I mean
to convey is the idea that the ball player
should work for the future just as the
young fellow does In other lines of work. y
