ANNAPOLIS. Md, January 25.-The
basket bali team representing the Cres-
cent Athletic Club Of Brooklyn was hope
lessly outclassed by the Annapolis mid
shipmen today and went down to defeat
BY the one-sided score Of 40 to z.
At times the Brooklyn players guarded
well. and this helped to keep the score
down to some, extent. but on the whole
there was little consistency in their team
work. On the attack they were lament
ably weak and were unable to break
through the Middies and get within good
tossing distance except on few occa-
sions Because of this they frequently
resorted to long shots for the basket and
these generally went wide of the coveted
mark. And in physical condition. too, the
Sfiddies were far superior. and this proved
no mean advantage. as they were able to
lead a fast attack at all times.
In fact, the sailor lads played to the
splendid form that has characterized
their work throughout the season. In
point of weight, the teams were about
evenly matched. The Middies soon start
ed scoring after play was opened. and
when the first half was over they had reg
istered a count of - against 6 for their
opponents. The visitors did some good
defensive playing i'm the second session.
hut were correspondingly weaker on the
attack. A single point. the result OF
goal thrown from the foul line. was all
they could tally. All of the navy men
got into the scoring, Hall leading with
total of six field goals.

James r. McAleer of the champion Red
Sox said today that he did not antici-
pate that the joint rules committee, rep
resenting the two major leagues. would
make at its annual meeting next month
any radical changes in the playing rules.
President McAleer's statement was
brought out after he had read OF the
announced intention of Manager Johnny
Evers Of the Chicago Cubs to introduce
q resolution that the number Of called
balls shall be reduced to three and that
all base runners shall be advanced a
base, even though not forced, in case a
pitcher purposely passes the batsman.
1.-THE committee always has a number
OF suggestions to consider, but the rules
have not been materially changed of late.

JENNINGS ON STAGE
Succumbs to Call of Theat-
ricaI Magnates.
BOOKED TO APPEAR HERE
Idea of the Stage Found Little Favor
With Detroit Leader
at First.

Hughie Jennings. manager of the De-
troit Tigers" like SO many Of the base
ball leaders. has succumbed to the call
OF the vaudeville magnates and entered
vaudeville. Few players in the country
enjoy greater popularity. Although he has
given up active playing he is one Of the
greatest drawing cards in professional
base ball. and the visits Of the Detroit
team to the various American League
cities are events looked forward to with
pleasurable interest by the thousands Of
Fans"
At the close of the recent base ball sea-
son Jennings was approached by 1.-The
powers that be" in vaudeville to play an
engagement until spring. At that time
he was under contract to the New York
World and other papers to write his OBJ
servations OF the world series. His ar
ticles attracted widespread attention and
were devoured by base ball enthusiasts
who were following the fortunes of the
Giants and Red Sox.
Found Little Favor at First.
At first Jennings did not look with much
favor upon the idea of presenting him.
self behind the footlights, but so strong
were the inducements held out that he
finally capitulated and affixed his sigma
ture to contract calling for his services
in vaudeville at one of the largest sal
aries ever paid a base ball player.
Jennings enlisted the services of Ben
Smith, the well known black-face come
dian. and together they have framed an
act which is meeting with marked favor
by vaudeville audiences. In this vaude-
VILE sketch Jennings gives the audiences
before which he plays a slight idea of his
coaching methods. of the familiar Jen
nings' whistle and Of his equally ia
miliar cry. "Ee-yah." which will be heard
for the first time here in theater when
Jennings and Smith appear at Chase'S
next week. beginning February 3.
One of the principal inducements which
prompted Jennings to consider vaudeville
seriously was the opportunity presented
of accustoming himself to addressing an
audience. In private life Jennings is Of
a retiring nature. although his antics on
the coaching line might lead people to
think otherwise. Some ten years ago he
took college course In law and was ad-
mitted to the bar as a practicing attor-
ney. When he finally retires from active
base hall life. which his admirers hope
will not be for many years. Jennings in
tends to devote himself entirely to law,
practice. He believes that his stage ex-
perience will be a great benefit to him
when he is called upon to face judge and
jury.

until about five minutes had elapsed that
Rutherford came down the floor on a

thews, made a stab at the basket and she
landed. From then On to the end Of the
half 1t was nip and tuck. when Matthews
broke a tie at eight points by getting one
from the field right under the basket just
as the whistle blew ending the first ses-
sion.
In the second half the Bull Moosers ran
away from the collegians. scoring seven
teen points. while the college boys could
only get three. Capt. Rutherford was
back at his old position at forward. and 1t
was because of this fact that the Y. NJ.
C. A. lads were able to do 50 well. He
thews. played one Of the best games OF

Shugrue. who Is one Of the fastest little
forwards in the District, and one Of the
best goal shooters. only one goal from the
field. although Shugrue was not in form,
for he had lots Of chances to score.
The collegians did not appear to be in
their best form, as they lacked team work
and could not locate the basket when
they had the chance. Leary. Beradini
and Shugrue played the best for George
