Profound Philosophy Disguised As Pretty

Homeopathic doctors feed
us those little white sugar
pellets (Which we swallow
willingly, they taste so
good, and thereby the po-

form whatever work they

EChendorf and coleman
Refused Insignia at Tech

For playing football with Jack He
Earty's Collegians against the Vigilants
at Union League Park last Sunday, Capt
ain Echendorf and right end coleman
were denied the right to football letters
when the rs We're awarded at Nc
Klnley Manual Training School yesterday
morning, during the assembly.
Not only does EchCndorf lose his letter,
but also the captaincy of the baseball
nine next spring. and whether he is per-
mitted TO engage in sports again while
in school is a matter of conjecture
Both boys denied having received
money for playing football, but evident
ly the school does not believe in taking
their words for it.
How many high school baseball play
ers members of sO-called amateur teams
operating in the District during the sum-
mer would go before a notary and swear
they had never received money for play
ing summer ball.
If Echendorf and coleman are barred
from playing baseball at Technical next
spring because the school suspects they
were paid money for playing football
then 1t behooves the school to disqualify
all other candidates for the nine who
have taken part in summer games with
various teams of the sand lot leagues.
These boys themselves will probably
reply just as did Echendorf and Dole
man that they did not play baseball for
money.
If the authorities at Technical High
School believe coleman and Echendorf

are professionals. they should prove their
charges.

when both these boys were asked if they
would like to play football last Sun
day, and both said they would Nothing
was mentioned about their being paid

fore a notary.
coleman admits that his car fare was
paid and that he was invited to dinner
at the expense Of the promoters, but
denies receiving money for his services.
Eckendorf did not even get in on the
dinner. yet both boys are Inundated
before the school and refused their we'll
earned football letters. because the
authorities suspect, that they did not
tell the truth when asked IL they re-
celved money for playing football against
the Vigilants.

should prove coleman and Eckendorf
guilty before furnishing them

Laioie May Quit Maps.

A late telegraph dispatch from Cleve-
land last night vouchsafed the informa-
ton that Larry Lajoie's contract, call
ing for a big salary expired when the
season closed last fall and that when
the big Frenchman received his new con-
tract he would find that a large slice
had been cut from the former figures.
The dispatch further stated that Ole
Olson would be picked to fill Lajoie s
shoes at second base.
1t is probably true that Lajoie will be
asked to work for less money than he
has been drawing the past few years,
but when they talk about Olson filling
his shoes. II is too laugh. Olson ought
10 shake hands with himself every morn
ing for being allowed TO play in the
big show.
Lajoie has slowed up a whole lot, but
a careful glance over the 1872 batting
averages of the Ban Johnson circuit re-
veal the fact that the big Frenchman
can still hit the ball. There was not a
more dangerous swatter in the league
last season than Lajoie, all pitchers
looked alike to him, and for a man who
has been in the game so long a time,
he put up a mighty nifty article around
the old keystone sack

Pirates Picked to Win.

Larry Doyle, the fighting captain Of
the New York Giants. who is spending
tine winter in St. Louis. was recently
quoted as saying 'If Mrs. BrittOn sends
Bresnahan and Konetchy TO the Pitts
burg Pirates, there won't be any use
starting the National league pennant
race next year"
The addition OF Bresnahan to the
Pittsburg club is bad enough from a
New York standpoint, but if both Roger
and Honey were to land with the Pirates
next spring. the championship race would
be over by July l." continued Doyle.
with Bresnahan behind the bat. Honey,
Wagner and Byrne in the infield, Carey.
Donlin and Cakes in the Outfield. and
Adams, Hendrix. O'ToOle and Robinson
10 do the twirling, Pittsburg would be
unbeatable.
In making this statement Doyle re-
ferred to the rumor that Pittsburg was
10 swap KOnetchy and Cakes for Will
son. Camitz, Miller and Mccarthy.
Mrs. BrittOn may or may not have
made a foolish move when she fired
Roger Bresnahan, but nobody with com
mon sense believes the woman magnate
would let go of Cakes and Konetchy for
the players Pittsburg is willing to give
in return.
The whole business sounds very much
like another OF those Western pipe
dreams. The baseball writers Csome of
them, in the wild and wooley, have the
world beaten when it comes to grind
ing out winter dope.

HATCHETITES PLAY
OPENER TOMORROW
G. W. U. Basketball Team Meet.
Catholic University Quintet on
Arcade Floor.

George Washington University is
making a decided effort to re-enter the
field of athletics. Formerly the teams
Of this institution were among the best
in the South and it has been a matter
the field OF recent years. The present
movement seems to be an earnest one
and is deserving of the support OF the
public of Washington.
Tomorrow night in the Arcade, the
teams of the George Washington Uni
versity and the Catholic University
will meet for the first time in basket
ball. Both are local institutions and a
close game is expected. Each five Is
composed Of good material and of cx-
pcricnced men. The George Washing
ton aggregation counts among its
members some OF the best of the local
talent.
Manager German has made every ef-
fort to make his winning team. With
out much talk. but with consistent
work the men have rounded into shape
and are in condition to begin their
schedule with a rush. To-morrow's
game Will be a good Indication of how
the season will go. The Hatchetites
are in dead earnest in the matter. and
plan this as a formal announcement Of
the re-establishment of good teams at
their university. II the present bas-
ket-ball movement meets with the sup
port OF the town and Is financially as
well as physically successful. there is
every reason to believe that football
will be the next venture.
