C. U. WINS AT TENNIS.

The Catholic University tennis team.
which was organized this year for the
first time in the history of the Brook
landers, opened it's season yesterday on
the university courts by defeating St
Johns College, of Annapolis, rather cas-
lily. The Brooklanders won all the
matches with the exception of the one
that Timothy lost to Downs, of St.
Johns. Sc, 60. The fast and accurate
playing of the Red and Black racquet
ers was too much for the Annapolis
team and consequently practically none
of the sets were close.
In the singles, about the best played
sets were those between Walsh, Of
Catholic University, and Gehring, of St.
Johns, Walsh winning, Ga, 81. Trum-
bull, of Catholic University, played all
around Campbell. of St Johns winning,
81, 81. Hurley, of Catholic University,
had some trouble winning from Fell. of
st. Johns Is, 6-3. Timothy, of Catho-
lie University, was beaten both sets by
Downs, of ST Johns, Sc, 60.
In the doubles, Catholic University had
it all its own way, Walsh and Hurley
completely outclassing Gehring and Fell,
winning, 60 g. Trumbull and Tim
othy also had little trouble disposing of
Downs and Campbell. So 6-3

Georgetown triumphed over the A. and

The first of the ninth saw the visitors

Then, just as everybody was bemoaning
the luck, the Blue and Gray team rallied
and got them back. Mccarthy hit to
left for two bases, and Russell hit Null

to Patton. In the excitement the second
baseman muffed them and Mccarthy and
Mullaney scored.

MONTANA TO MEET
PAUL REDDER TONIGHT
Middle-weights to Clash at the Lyeeum
Theater in Finish Wrestling
Match.

Louis Montana, the popular italian
wrestler, will meet Paul Redder, the
wonderful Belgium grappler, tonight at
the Lyceum Theater in a finish match,
best two in three falls. Pat O'Connor
will referee the engagement
Montana has been in hospital in New
York for six weeks. being able to start
active training until three weeks ago. but
he is fit as a fiddle, and will take the
Belgium star on tonight confident of
victory. There is but little doubt as to
Montano's ability to make it hot for any
middle-weight wrestler in this section,
and as Redder is said to be one of the
toughest men in the game a corkinG
good bout should take place tonight.
Redder comes here with a good reputa-
ton. He is anxious to meet Mike Yokel
for the middle-weight championship, and
knows that the only way by which he
can gain the right to challenge Yokel is
to defeat some of the best men in the
East. He is starting with Montana. and
if he defeats the Italian, will challenge
Turner.
The entire Washington baseball team
has been invited to attend the bout to-
night in a body, and two boxes have been
reserved for Griffs Climbers. Manager
Mayer stated last night that Walter john

in easy fashion, would more than likely

Star PLAYER.

Detroit, Mich, April 23.-When Ty Cobb.
the Tiger slugger, reaches here Thurs
day from his Augusta, Ga, home, which
he left last night, he will sign a con-
tract that calls for a straight salary Of
81, 500 and bonuses"
This was the information that came
today from a person close to the De-
troit management, and who is said to
be thoroughly conversant with the dicker-
ing that has been going on between Cobb
ard President Navin in the past Few
days.
The $1,000 salary is Navins original
offer Cobb demanded $4,000. The
bonuses, if earned, will give Cobb adj
ditional money for all hits, stolen bases,
and runs over a certain total, and will
make his income approximately $4,000.
No hitch is expected over the signing
OF the contract when Cobb sand Navin

join the team Friday and at once jump
into the game.

The Oxon Hill team, which has been
defeating the best amateur aggregations
of the District for the last few years.
under the managership of Happy
Heiskell, the Georgetown University
football and basketball star. will more
than likely receive a berth in the Capital
City League.
President Beach has applications from
several fast teams, but stated last night
that none appeared strong enough to
hold their own in the Capital City cir
cult.
Should Oxon Hill be admitted into the
league, President Beach will more than
likely consider the application of any
fast team. Mr.. Beach can be reached
in care of the American Security and
Trust Company, and any manager of a
fast outfit, capable of putting up a real
article of ball, can get in touch with
him at the bank

thusiasm regarding his league.

JOE TURNER DEFEATS
YOUNG HACKENSCHMIT

Joe Turner, the popular local grappler,
defeated Young Hackenschmit, of Bos-
ton, last night at the Gayety Theater
in two out of three falls, getting the last
fall in fifteen minutes by means of a
flying Dutchman hold.
Hack put up a game fight against Tur-
ner. He was handicapped by Turner's
great speed, but put up one of the best
exhibitions ever seen in this city. Pat
O'Connor was the referee.
Young Olson challenged the winner, but
as Turner is booked to wrestle Friday
night down South, he was unable to meet
Olson. Manager Peck agreed to post a
purse for a bout between Olson and
Hackenschmit, who made SO good an inn
preston last night against Turner. This
bout will take place Friday night.

FISHER, EASTERN HIGH STAR,
PASSES ANNAPOLIS TEXANS"
Crack Baseball and Football Star Will Be MILDLY
Next June Enviable Athletic and
Scholastic Record Here.

The students of Eastern High School,
together with the countless friends of
Thomas Gerry Fisher. star athlete at the
Capitol Hill institution, will be over
1oyed to hear that young Fisher has
successfully passed the entrance exam
nations to the Naval Academy and will
become a "plebe" in June. Word to this
effect was received from Annapolis last
night
II ever any one deserved such an hon.
or, it is Fisher. February / he left
Eastern to prepare for the examinations,
and from that time until he took the
examinations last week he worked as
diligently as a mortal could under the
circumstances
He was at a disadvantage. because he
was only in the third year Of his high
school course Most applicants have
usually three or four full years Of prep
aratory training. Not only does the APP
pointment speak well for Fisher, but it
also reflects great credit on the institu-
ton where he received his preliminary
training.
When Fisher entered Eastern three
years ago he Immediately jumped into
the spotlight by making an outfield job
on the best baseball nine the Southeast
boys ever turned out. Not content
with this alone, he went out for the foot
ball eleven, without even knowing the
names of the different positions on the
team. Fisher played a consistent game
at the end of his first year, and last
fall he was the unanimous choice for
end on the all-scholastic team, being in
a class by himself
The baseball nine last year thought so
well of Fisher that he was elected to
the captaincy. He was forced to give
up this position when he left school to
make special FERMENTATION for the Naval
Academy entrance examinations. Tom"
as he is commonly known, is now back
with the Eastern nine, and was a potent
factor in his teams victory against
Business last Friday. He will remain at
Eastern until June j.
