captures Gym Honors After Long
Series in the Y. NJ. @. A.
The hardest fought series Of symna-
SUM contests in the history Of the Y.
NJ. c. A. came to an end last night
when Lassley Just nosed Linden out for
first place after the two athletes had
been seesawIng in the leadership for
weeks.
The events which decided the long
drawn-out competition last night were
the ss-yard dash, the three standing
broad Jumps. and the 15-foot rope climb
The first OF these went to Linden, the
second to Elder. and the third to Powell
but although Lassley was first in
nothing during the evening his general
score was better than Linden's owing
to the fact that he proved the latter's
superior in the jumps and put up a good
showing IN the rope climb. an event in
which Linden did not compete at all
Awards were made as follows: First
trophy, TO Lassley, with 1854 points:
second trophy. to Linden, with ISL
points: third trophy. to Elder. with
l,34L5 points. The team which won the
assembled contests was that captained

Capt. Waldron was easily the star Of
the HlltOppers on the Offense, while
Wetzel and HeisIxell divided the honors
of the defense. Waldron attempted many
tries from the center Of the field. and II
was a toss from the center's ring that
won the game for the Blue and Gray in
the extra period.
Johnny ShuGrue played the second half
i'm right forward, and put up a neat
game. Johnny only had two good

is his extreme lightness. He was the
smallest man on the floor last night, and
was handled rather roughly by the Mary

Georgetown failed to show any team
work to speak OF, but that was to be ex-
pected. as II was the first game OF the
season. The material Is there for a cork

Bunk from Baltimore.

The Philadelphia Times puts over the
following:
Jack Dunn is handing the Baltimore
public a fine lot of bunk to keep It go
ing for the winter. Dunn has started
4 wild yarn about young Shawkey, who
was taken South by Connie Mack last
spring. Dunn's latest is that every club
in the big leagues wants Shawkey, and
that Detroit has the Shawkey bug worse
than all others. Dunn modestly remarks
that he is so glad that this youngster
escaped the big league dragIet that the
Tiger boss will have to part with some
thing like Cobb, Crawford, or Dubuc TO
secure the Oriole finger. 1t is all right
for J. d. to try to hand that to the Bal
t'more public. But we are making a
little bet that if there is anything 10 this
lad, c. Mack will grab him when he
wants him, as the local boss has some
sort of q drag down in Baltimore"

The Rigler Case.

Umpire Cy Rigler brought his wares
to the wrong market when he signed for
the Philies Pitcher Eppa Rixey. the
University of Virginia tall boy. for the
sum Of $500, of which amount Rigler
received 800 and was told by the Ma
tional League moguls to whistle for the
remainder.
Had RigIer used his beam" he could
have unIoaded RiXey right here in Wash
ingtOn for $1,000, and long before this
would have gotten his money. Manager
Griffith himself would have purchased
the player at that price and have figured
the money we'll invested; in fact, II
memory serves. Griff offered Rigler about
this sum If the imp would induce Rixey
to sign a Washington contract.
Rigler's loyalty to the National
League, according to reports, induced
him to place the lanky finger in me
Lynch circuit, and right here he made
the mistake of his life.
Suppose for the sake of argument,
the ,Philles last year had won the pen
nant and stacked up against the Boston
Red Sox. Rigler. as one of the jumps,
would have to take his turn behind the
bat and We will say that he worked
game in which Rixey pitched. Suppose
further. Mr.. Rigler happened to be of
color on balls and strikes, and that a
decision won or lost the ball game.
What would the fans have to say?
Would the honesty of the national game
be questioned? Well, rather! And such
q scandal would be brewing that would
be hard to live down.
II Mr.. Rgler had been a wise little
umpire he would have passed up this

to me that l might try the same

the sport and to gain control.
AS deer in this section OF Virginia is

I decided TO go after the Dummies, armed

great control, only missing a couple.
After that 1 averaged half a dozen or

Boehling Expects to Stick. -. -.
In Boehling's letter the southpaw goes
on TO say that he is taking plenty Of
outdoor exercise, tearing Off his share
OF sleep and eats. and feels confident
that when he reports in the spring he
will so impress Griff that the local boss
will not look around for a place in the
bushes in which to shove him.
According to Southpaw Joe, he has
quit calling on his friends or frequenting
MS FORMER naunIS lOr lne reason lndI
every body he meets gives him advice on
how to obtain control so that one day he
may become a great pitcher. He adds:
When Griff took me back from the New
England League last fall 1 felt as If
could throw a ball through a knot-hole,
and I feel the same way now. II I get
another chance with the Nationals l will
stick tighter than Royal Blue.
1t will be remembered that BoehlinS
was the former Richmond amateur
twirler whom Grin signed up for a trial
last spring. Joe was carried a short
time. and sent to Chattanooga, from
where he returned on account Of wild
ness. In July the southpaw was ordered
TO hit the pike for Worcester, Mass.
where he Joined forces with Burkett's

Boehling up TO date is the only left
handler on the Nationals stan. II is
admitted on all sides that he has the

essential-control If he finally succeeds
in locating the plate. Grin will be happy.
