next yeT.)
Father Time has crooked his finger and
has beckoned me to come from my berth
as major Lacquer to the brush to make
my home. Ten years and more I've
struggled, fought and toiled and tried
my best to win for Commy and the fans,
who've always stood the test, support
ing me when l was bad and giving
me their aid when Take him out!' is
probably what they would fain have
said.
It's hard to leave my friends and pals
who've been So kind and true. The
thought of going chokes me up and really
makes me blue. Through future years
I'll thank you, fans, for what you've
been to me. You've been my judge and
jury, and I say it gratefully, that it's
" you owe "ndl suldl suCSeSS may
have had. for you've encouraged me, al
though my work at times was sad.
The players realize what it means to
have the fans good will; 1t helps a man
to hear the rooters' voices, loud and
shrilI. You've stuck to me through all
and helped me capture many game;
you've not found fault when I was licked,
but cheered me just the same.
You've urged me on to better work by
sticking day by day, not knowing
p'rhaps. how much it meant: but just
wish to say, I'd love to grasp you by
the hand and tell you, one by one, how
grateful to you all I am, now that my
work is done.
To Commy and the boys wish success
in years to come, and that they'll lick
the Cubs each year-I guess that's wish
ing some.

Alexandria, Va, Dec. 20.-Playing the
Y. NJ. c. A Regulars to a stand still
iT the first period but unable to keep
up the fast pace set by the visiting lads,
the Alexandria Athletic Association quint
lost a good game of basketball here
tonight, a to 2t The game was better
played than the score would indicate
but the Virginia lads were unable to
stop the Whirlwind finish the Regulars
presented.
Such spectacular passing, shooting and
guarding has never been witnessed in
Alexandria. Hoppe, who took Colley's
place shortly after the contest started,
gave the best exhibition of basketball
that has been seen in this neck of the
woods. He was everywhere. Playing
forward. he would come down the floor
time and again and take the place of
a guard covering his man tighter than
a drum. Caging the ball on spectacular
shots from the center of the floor, doing
the bulk OF the work in the passing
line, and playing the best all around
game of any man on either quint, Hoppe
was the star of the contest.
The first half resulted in tie. Is TO
Is, neither quint having a substantial
lead at any time during this period. The
Alexandria boys were the first to crack
the ice but Frazier tied it up with
neat goal from near the side lines Both
teams fought hard for the next goal, and
Mathews was the one to cage the sphere,
sending it through the meshes after
long pass by Allwine. Alexandria then
took the lead with two cleverly Gagged
goals by Entwisle. From then on it
was nip and tuck till the end Of the half
The second half proved the downfall
Of the Alexandria boys, teamwork Of the
highest order contributing largely to it,
and Hopes work in caging the ball
did the rest The boys from Virginia
must be given great credit for the game
they put up, but the experience Of the

$4,000 FROM BOXING.
New York State Gains by Having
Athletic Commission.

New York, Dec 2o.-In fling the annual
report with the new Legislature at Al
bany the State Athletic Commission will
show that since the boxing law went into
effect in August, 1911, about $4,000 has
been paid into the State comptroller's s
office this money being the amount of the
5 per cent tax on the gross receipts of
all licensed clubs operating under the
statute.
There has been a falling off in receipts
during the last year, due probably to the
poor quality of many so-called star bouts.

Appropriation.
NEW TRAINING QUARTERS

NEW TRAINING QUARTERS
By c. ". SWAN.

The Maryland Agricultural Col
lege will have the finest gymna-
SUM and athletic quarters Of any
college in this neck of the woods,
II the present plans of the Mary
land legislature are carried out.
A bill is before the legislature
which carries appropriations
amounting to $1O5,OOO, and if this
bill is passed. which is almost sure
to happen, the Maryland Aggies
will have the finest athletic equip
ment OF any college in the State.
Seventy-five thousand dollars is
allowed for the building of i gym
naSium, with swimming pool, and
every other feature which makes
local Y. NJ. c. A. so popular.
Then the bill calls for the erection
OF training quarters, to cost SIS
700. This will allow members of
all teams to live in the training
quarters, and will give the Aggies
a real training table.
The field will be greatly improved and
while concrete stands will not he erect
ed, good substantial grand stands will
nc put up Fifteen thousand dollars is
granted 10 improve the athletic field.
III this bill passes the Maryland Iegis-
Iature early next year. the Aggies will
nave athletic equipment to turn out the
best teams in the State. Last fall, with
he poorest kind of facilities. the Farmer
football eleven was good. in fact, the best
in the State, and if Curly Byrd is able
TO keep up his great work out at Col
lege Park. the Maryland Aggies will
reach high mark in the athletic world
in Maryland.

The story published in these columns
yesterday relative to the worlds roller
skating record of Sos hung up recently
by Stanley keyes. a Detroit roller skater,
in a tWO-mile race, has caused Walker
II. Colston. the local speed artist. who
holds the Eastern championship. to dig
deep into his scrap book and unearth a
clipping where he has skated the same
distance in the fast time of six minutes
fiat. This mark was made on the Con-
vention Hall floor in 1911. and although
it is unofficial. due to the fact that a
representative Of the Western Skating
Association was not present. il gives the
local boy great satisfaction in knowing
that his mark was not bettered.
Colston, together with his younger
brother. II. W. Colston. also claims the
one mile record of 2:47, also made in
Convention Hall in the same year, in a
race in which the brothers finished so
close that the judges were forced to
declare it a dead heat in order not to do
an injustice to either man.
III. W. Colston, who holds the ANA
teur championship of the South, is ready
to defend his title at any time. as he is
anxious to secure a few matches before
the worlds amateur championship meet,
which will be held in March. in which he
captured third place last year. while the
other brother is already training faith
fully for the same meet. as he failed to
live up to his reputation in the last one,
and will go back with a determination to
finish in the money, besides defeating
keyes for the twO-mile honors. Both men
are under the watchful eye of Trainer
Joe Oliveri. who will no doubt have them
in the pink of condition.

 OF INTEREST

The Christmas vacation was a happy one for nearly all concern ed and the joyfulness is noticeable in the energy with which school tasks were taken up Monday morning. Many have severe colds and Theodore Newman has not sufficiently recovered from the typhoid to return to school.
 The spelling contest in the grammar room for the 4th month stands:- words missed by the 8th grade 8, by the Eth grade 12, and by the 9th grade 2. leav- ing the 9th still ahead. Helen Smith, Lorraine and Virginia Lopez and Willie Woods of the 5th did not miss a word. during the month, though Willie missed one in examination. In the Eth grade in daily work, Claude Flanigan. Anna Greer, Lois Biggs, Pratt Gres, and Annie Thomas did not miss, while in the 8th, Elmer Flanigan and Allie Cross did equally we'll.
 The programs in the different rooms were well attended by parents and friends, twenty seven guests being present the Friday afternoon before the Christmas holidays. This inter est. in greatly appreciated by pupils and teachers.
