VIRGINIA CANDIDATES.
FOR DIPLOMATIC HONORS.

The names of at least five promi-
nent Democrats have been mentioned
in connection with diplomatic positions
under the incoming administration
Joseph E. Willard is said to have the
support of those very close to President
Elect Wilson.
Thomas Nelson Page is another who
is eligible, his name being mentioned
for the post at ST. James.
Westmoreland Davis, Of Lecsburg, is
also spoken of. Mr.. Davis is said t.
be candidate for gubsrnatirial hon
o-s.
President Edwin Anderson Alder
man, of the University of Virginia, is
known to be very close to Mr.. WI
son. He has visited him several time!
since the Baltimore convention, anj
his friends say, he can secure for

other Virginian who is in the amoa:.

OUT HIS HOCKEY
MEN FOR PRACTISE

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 26.-
Twenty-Five candidates for the Tiger
hockey team reported to Captain
Hobey Baker for the first practise Ct
the season here yesterday afternoon.
In the absence of better facilities
the men will work for the time being
on a large wooden platform, which
has been constructed on University
field, where they will be able to prac-
tise passing and goal shooting. The
first drill on the ice will be held at
the st. Nicholas rink, during the
Thanksgiving vacation, where Cap
tain Baker expects to put his men
through several sessions during the
holidays.
The schedule for the coming earn
paign has not been completed, bus 1t

lineup against Harvard, Yale and
McGill University, of Montreal, the
present Canadian champions. 1t is
also rumored that three-game series
with Cornell may be scheduled to be

BRESNAHAN LOST
JOB BECAUSE HE
WAS INDIFFERENT

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2s.-Roger Bres-
nahan was Internationally released
as manager of the st. Louis National
League baseball team because Mrs.
Helen r. Britton. principal owner of
the club, did not think he tried
hard" during the year. and because
the club lost money, according to a
letter Bresnahan's attorneys pre-
pared today to submit to the direc-
tors Of the National League.
The letter quotes Mrs. Britton as
saying: Il have decided to make a
change in managers and will not
need your services any longer. I feel
that you have not tried hard during
the past year The club has not
made nearly as much money as 1t did
in 1911. You do not seem to take
much interest in the club
The letter also gives President
Jones of the club authority for the
statement that the club earned s15,-
coo this year. Jones offered Bresna-
han $500 for his contract. which
calls for $4,000 annually and 10 per
cent of the profits.

that he would sever his connection

tween his team and the Brown Uni

Thorpe gives as his reason for leav-

the public gaze and the large amount
of notoriety he has received fer his
various stunts in the athletic world
at the Olympic games and on his own
native soil, especially in football and
on the cinder path.
The Carlisle Indians came TO

Lewis is boy with as untiring a

warns the "Battler" to be prepared

ley than shake hands at the finish

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE
MAY OPEN ON APRIL Is


There is possibility of the Inter
national League season being opened
next spring day earlier than usual.
1t has generally been the custom of
the league to open the championship
campaign on the third Thursday of
April. At the special meeting called
by President Edward G. Barrow in
October the magnates decided to open
up next year on Thursday, April II,
but since then there has been some
agitation in different towns for an
earlier opening.
Mr.. Barrow stated yesterday that
he thought Wednesday, April 16.
would prove a better opening day
than Thursday, which has been
picked as opening day for years.
"The Thursday opening" said Pres

Wednesday afternoon is generally

case on a Thursday, when the week

Opening the season a day earlier
will not mean that the schedule win
be heightened, the same number of
games 154 in all-will be played, as
in the past.
BY opening on Wednesday the
schedule can SO be arranged that the

Horace FogeI is up before the grand

ing of his fellow magnates Of the

been shouting that ne has committed
treason to the National League and
that he is a traitor to baseban's most
sacred doctrine and principIe-its
honesty. He is on trial for an al

of baseball, and his enemies. VITO
have been elamoring for his gore,

them to strike.
Fogel. however. has an ace in
the hole which he has not uncovered,
and il is a mighty big ace" His
ace is the testimony of one James
Johnstone. the National League UNI
pire. who resides in Iryington- Fogel
denies emphatically that his insinua-
tions affected in the least the integ-
rity of the national game or the
business methods of the National
League. His contention on that late
September day When the Giants
cinched the pennant was merely
somewhat ambiguous suggestion that
the present methods of selecting UNI
pires for the worlds series left too
much for umpires to grasp at. in
asmuch as the winning club picks the
umpires, who received this year, for
instance, something like $1,000 for
umpiring. in the worlds series
Human nature, naturally, even if
not Intentionally favors anything
which returns the favor. Therefore
it is quite possible that some UNI
pires might have given the Giants
just a shade the best of it on close
plays. thereby earning the friendship
of the men higher up. and with that
friendship a nice fat bunch of bills.
