was mentioned.

Another investigation Is about to be

why Johnny Gallagher. the Marathon
runners, after SPEEDING one season at
Yale, suddenly decided to become a
student at Georgetown. While at Yale
Gallagher won the freshman cross
country and the one and two-mile
races Then he suddenly quit the big
university and went to Georgetown.
teThe colleges, to a great extent, are
to blame for allowing amateurs to
cnmpete as PROFESSIONAL, said Mr.
Sutton. Their rules are not strict
enough. The A. A. u. has no con-
troll over college athletes unless they
are registered in the A. A. Y. just
as soon as they register the A. A. U,
watches them, and at the slightest

Randolph-Macon
, Raises Standard
for Athletic Men

Special TO The Richmond virginian.)
ASHLAND. VA, Feb. 5.--The
standard required to be met by those
aspiring to wear the monogram r.. NJ.
awarded the varsity men of the foot
ball. basketball and baseball teams.
respectively. of Randolph Macon has
been raised TO much higher degree.
According to the old requirements.
which have been in use for years, a
member of the football or baseball
team was entitled to the monogram OF
the team on which he had played,
provided he had played in four srhed-
s1Ied games. two of which must be in
the championship series with Rich
mend college. Hampden-aidney and
william and Mary colleges There
was no requirement whatever In re-
gard to the time played In each game.
One minute of play In scheduled
game counted as much toward vim
ming the monogram as playing in the
whole game The result has been that
at the end of soufe seasons 40 many
men were by the rules entitled to their
letters that the value of the mono
gram was greatly reduced. The same
was true i'm basketball. except FIVE
games was the requirement instead Of
four.
fsy the new requirements II will be
much harder for a man TO win his let
te~s than heretofore. Before he is
entitled to the football monogram he
must In one season have represented
Randolph Macon in at least six sched-
uIed football games, three OF which
must have been championship games
In the Eastern Virginia ieagues and
he must have played ut least ten min
utes in each game- The same rules
apply to the basketball and baseball
monographs except that two innings
are required in each baseball game
instead of ten minutes
Hereafter the managers OF the foot
hall. basketball and baseball teams,
respectively. will be awarded a spe-
ciaIly designed monogram, Hereto
fore no manager has received his let
ters for managing a team.
These changes have been made for
the purpose Of raising the value of
tia~ different monngrams. and in so
doing develop better teams

JOHN M'GRAW QUITS
GAME OF LIZARDS

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.--After several
years of attempting to mix baseball
and billiards, John J. McGraw came
to the conclusion yesterday that car
roms must give way to the aii-absorb-
ing interests OF the Giants As con-
sequence the billiard room which has
been under the supervision of Willie
Hoppe for the last year at Thirty fifth
street and Broadway will cease its ae-
tivities and the lease will be turned
back to the estate owning the prop
erty Hoppe. 1t is understood, will
devote himself TO match play and Elk
hibition competitions, which have
heretofore sweiled his income to s10,-
geo year.
McGraw. with the late Fred
Knowles, then secretary of the New
York Giants, as his partner, made his
start as q broadway billiard room
keeper several years ago. An active
policy was pursued. Match play was
the chief attraction, and IT was in
his academy that De ORC won the
three-cushion championship from
John Daily to in turn fall before Fred
Ames. The death of Edward Nc
Loughiin. the famous billiard referee.
at about this time inspired McGraw to
enter the field as q referee of the big
gave this up,
Then the tide OF the billiards turned
further northward toward F'orty-sec-
ond street. No further matches were
decided there and the room had to
depend upon neigheorhood patronage.
Even with the great Willie Hoppe
there the place has attracted only mild
interest.
For several years 1t has been ru-
mored that Big Tim" Sullivan stood
behind the room. Whether or not
this is q fact the announcement is
sued by McGraw as to the closing OF
the room at this time lends some Gre
dence. At the death Of Fred Knowles
two years ago Mcflraw took over his
interests He now retires permanent
Iy as q roomkeeper. and the place
becomes only a part of billiard his
tory, an many other broadway acad-
emies have done in the past.
Arthur Hoffman has signed with the
Pirates and says he will be the regu-
lar ceuterfleider.

New York and Philadelphia shows,
sent out by the Eastern Motor Sales
company.
One national and another equally
prominent show. the latter held in
Phifadefpisfa this week, have passed
inta this shades af tlhsnss skssas were,
and the time has come when 1t is
possible TO view them In their many
aspects through the glasses Of retro
spection. 1t Is still too close for the
careful student to pronounce with
definite certainty upon all the indi-
cations and lessons to be sean and
learned during the brief period OF a
show week, but. nevertheless, there
are certain outstanding characteristics
OF the late exhibitions which are well
worth touching upon straight-away
and before the first Impressions have
had time to wear Off. First, as to the
shows themselves. To my mind il
simply passes comprehension how
such q function as a motor show can
continue not only to hold its populari-
ty. but to increase Il to the extent
which Is conveyed by the figures OF
the Madison Square Garden week.
Hundreds of thousands OF people pass
ed the barriers during the run Of the
show Certainly not q fifth Of them
were able to study the exhibits in the
way which 1t might be imagined the
person who paid his money for admis-
sion would desire to study them. And
yet everybody seems satisfied.
Among the makers OF fine cars Is
noticeable an increasing tendency to
convert the Garden into 4 carriage
building exhibition. This doubtless
comes Of the movement towards the
making OF the whole car under one
roof, AZ it were. Year BY year we
see more of the large motor manu-
featuring firms going In for body
building. and. naturally anxious az
they are Ia show their abilities In

Reported but not widely credited
that President Navin, Of the Detroft
club, has decided to accede to Ty
Cobb's demand for a $4,000 salary.
Second Baseman Witt gays he has q
letter from Nayin in which the lat
ter declares that he cannot raise sala-
ries because he must have Cobb at any
price, When Hugh Jennings was here

tended to remain firm and that Cobb
would be allowed to stay oEss OF base-
ball unless he lowered his terms.

lions for the noted Indians services as

for a salary of $1,000 for one year.
When he attached his signature TO the
document Thorpe, it is said, received
an extra bonus of $500, while Glenn
Warner. who brought the Redskin
here and exerted his influence TO help
McCraw, lis reported to have pocketed
$4,000 on the side.
Jimmy Callahan, of the Chicago
White Sox. is quoted as saying that
ne may let Young Shaffsfep named
Joe Berger come to the New York
Americans i'm exchange for a pitcher
and an outfielder. AS matter Of
fact. Callahan has no room for Berger
in view of the development of Buck
Weaver at shortfield and several
weeks ago he asked the American
league clubs to waive claim on the
youngster. 1t was Caiiahans plan to
dispose of Berger to a Pacific coast
league club, inasmuch as the latter is
highly regarded in California
Frank Chance has seen Berger play
this winter and believes that he is
worth trial. Accordingly the New
York Americans have refused to
waive claim and under the rules Of
baseball Callahan must either sell
Berger to Chance at the waiver price
of $500 or retain him on the White
Sox payroll. Chance will not make
a trade for the young shortstop for
the excellent reason that the New
York Americans need all the playing
talent now under reserve.
