DEPENDS ON GRIFFITH

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. January II.
That Virginia is determined to ge,
the services of Jack Ryan for the
coming base ball season is evident.
At the meeting of the executive
committee of the General Athletic
Association. held within the past
few days, a motion was carried to this
effect. with the further provision that
he be engaged for the period of seven
weeks. thereby advocating a change in
the present alumni system of coaching,
which only permits professional coach
for two weeks. The matter must be
passed on by the board of faculty ath-
letic advisers. before Manager Mackey
will be allowed to negotiate authoritative
ly with Ryan. In all probability Ryan
has already been approached on the SUBJ
ject with this end in view. 1t is thought
the success of the Virginia plans depend
on whether Manager Griffith brings his
big leaguers to Charlottesville and for
this reason the students are pulling hard
for Washington to locate here.
A coach will be a necessity within a
month that base ball plans may be under
way. Trainer Lannigan has ordered the
battery candidates out for gymnasium
work next Monday, so the 1913 base ball
will then be inaugurated
Capt. Ed Finley has heard from Nal
colmn Douglass, star shortstop of last
seasons team, who recently resigned
from the University of Maryland. The
latter stated that he would not return tC
Virginia, but had located permanently in
business with his father in Baltimore
Douglass likewise announced that there
was no likelihood of his signing with a
professional team.
