WANTS TO RUN TWO
IN TW0-M|LE RELAY
Virginia Desires to Meet
Georgetown at That Dis
lance of a Mile.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, February
20.-Because of the recent injuries to
three of the Virginia relay team Man
ager Churchman yesterday wired George
town asking it to change the race next
Saturday night from a mile relay to
two-mile affair. Lannigan has had a
rather large squad training at the half
for quite a while and thinks he could
send four half-nlilers who would make
a much more interesting race for George
town than his patched-up mile team
could make.
Diebolt's ankle turned out to be in a
much worse condition than was at first
! supposed, and this morning his whole
| calf was swollen to almost twice it's nat
ural size. 1t is practically certain that
| he will not be able to run by the LIST Of
the month, and even IL he were to recov-
er sufficiently by that time the long lay
off would leave him in poor condition.
! The same is true Of Cooke, as he has
| orders from the doctor not to return
| from Norfolk until next week, and if he
/ will be able to run at all he could not
/ hard race.
| Lannigan has been hunting around try
| ing to find out who is the jinx this year.
| To begin with, eleven point winners in
turn to college this year. though none
graduated, and now after he has rounded
out "a new team, along comes series of
accidents to spoil it all He realizes the
position that Georgetown is in. having
trained her men at the shorter distance,
and cannot blame them If it refuses to
lengthen the contest, but it would be bet
ter, from the standpoint of the spectators,
as well as the two schools. IIe thinks the
general sentiment is that Georgetown will
win rather handily in any event, and il
Virginia is forced to send Il team COM
posed entirely OF new men the affair will
rot create the interest it usually does
However, default on Virginia's part
would undoubtedly result in unjust criti-
csm. particularly in view of the fact that
/ The hilltopperS are considered the favor
ties. and if the latter insist on the original
distance the local team will try to make
ii Interesting for them at one mile,
Georgetown has two excellent half-miI-
ers in Gallagher and Chapman, and no
doubt two more could be selected who
would fill out fast team. And, Judging
by the performance of the Orange and
Blue team against Carlisle and Penn Ia ST
Saturday. she would not have to break
any records to win. No answer had been
received from Manager Darr up to a late
hour yesterday in regard to the matter
and the question will not likely be decid-
cd until the Georgetown team returns
from lis trip north.

yesterday and according to the war cor
respondents on the scene the Indian made
a very favorable impression on McGraw.
But this was to be expected SO far as
practice is concerned. In the first place
there is no doubt about Thorpe's condi-
ton and speed.
He will be able to move about much
better than most of the recruits McGraw
will have under him. Incidentally Thorpe
may be a much better ball player than
has been suspected. At any rate he Is
sure to get plenty of praise, whether he
deserves it or not. for it is absolutely
necessary that Thorpe be we'll advertised
in order to make him a drawing card.
McGraw has a large squad of young
sters this spring. and Thorpe is almost
certain to stand out among them during
the practice season, because he will have
a big advantage in speed.

Washington Man Has
Plan to Help Umpires

CHICAGO, February 2O.-Presi-
dent Ban johnson of the Ameri-
can League has received from Al
bert a. LOhr Of Washington, ID. c.,
n plan which he considers feas-
ibIe enabling umpires to more
accurately Judge balls and
strikes.
''Thc plan Mr.. LOhr suggests"
said President johnson last night,
''is to run two white lines down
the path from the pitchers box
to the batter's box, just the right
distance apart, thus when the
umpire is looking over the shout
der of the catcher he has q guide
for the corners Of the plate,
whether the ball be low or high.
"Whether the lines should be
parallel or whether they should
converge toward the pitchers pO-
sitiOD or just how far they
should extend beyond the batter's
box could be determined by
few tests, and also the distance
apart these lines should be.
81 hold that the plan contains a
lot of merit. and 1t may be adopt
cd before the championship race
is started"

themselves like green hands. This is par
ticularly true of Austin. The average
young lefthander has jerky way of de-
livering the bail, which handicaps him.
Austin, however. has a free delivery, and
if after a while he can show the proper
speed and the necessary curve he stands
an excellent chance to make a good
pitcher
long arms. He reminds one very much
of Bill Hinrich, whom Walter Johnson
brought here a few years ago. out VINO
had to quit the game when he was al
flicted with infantile paralysis.
Dent of course, looks the most eX-
perienced of the outfit. He has had
several years of base ball and there
are no rough edges noticeable. Dents
trouble heretofore, has been that he has
been unfortunate in not having good
health in the spring. He has always
gotten a poor start, and as a result has
not shown to the best advantage.
Last year it was months before he got
to going properly. but out of the last
twelve games he pitched he won eleven.
Griffith believes that he will make good
here, provided he is handled properly
He said yesterday that Dent reminded
him very much of Suggs. the star of the
Cincinnati team. Suggs was a failure in
Detroit because his health was not good
and in trying to get himself in share
he worked too hard. When Griff got him
in Cincinnati he cut down his work with
pitcher ever since. He proposes to treat
Dent in a similar manner.
Joe Enge1 has filled out a lot since last
season and he can now be numbered
among the big men OF the team. Griff
expects the youngster to be one of his
regulars this season. Last year was En-
gels first experience in organized base
ball and naturally he learned much.
There has never been any question about
Engels ability. He has plenty of stuff
with which to deceive batters, but he
must learn how to use it.
Alva Williams, who when he was used
regularly last fall proved himself one of
Nationals best hitter, expects to do even
better this season. During the winter
Williams went to Youngstown, where
Bonesetter Reese treated his arm. Will
liams says that his wing is in much bet
ter condition now than it was before. and
that his throwing. which was decidedly
good last year, will be improved.
Drohan. the youngster who has at
tracted so much attention of late because
seven minor league clubs put in claims
for him. did not arrive with the others
today. He wrote Griffith. however. that
ne would be here next Tuesday, be-
ing Detained at homo because of Ill
ness IN his family. Drohan won twenty
foUr out of thirty. games from kewanee
last season and gives promise of being
valuable man.

AN EXAMPLE Or f1E OLD POLICE
METHODS BLOW IN .r
An example of the old police meth
DDS thought nearly extinct was given
in Chicago today in the case of the
persecution of Louis Schultze, a pris-
oner just released from the Column
bus, o., penitentiary.
When Schultze walked out of the
prison, free man after a year and
half, Sergeant ]. j. Early of the
San Francisco force, was there wait
ing for him and hustled him onto a
train.
Early claims that two years ago
Schultze stole an empty pocketbook
in the coast city.
Early and his captive had to stop
in Chicago on their way West. The
officer wanted to take in" the town
bit so he threw his prisoner into a
cell at the detective bureau. There
Schultze got word to Attorney Chas.
E. Erbstein.
Erbstein Immediately applied for a
writ of habeas corpus and notified
Capt. Halpin to this effect. When
this notice is served on police cap
tain they're supposed to do nothing
but await the action of the court.
But Early was allowed the use of
a patrol wagon to spirit his man
away. At this juncture Erbstein ap-
peared on the scene. He saw the
rapidly disappearing patrol and did
a marathon to the railroad station
and stopped the party.
Attorney Erbstein threatens to
start an investigation of the handling
of Schultze by the police.
