TO A GOOD LEAD
Win Three Matches in Opening
Program of Washington
Council League.

Winning its first three games by SUBJ
stantial scores, the Balboas, of the
newly organized Washington Council.
Knights of Columbus, duckpin League,
look to be the most important con-
tenders for the title in that circuit.
Balboas took all three games from
Champlains, the scores in strings be-
ing as follows: i20-3SS. 4s1-410 and +o9-
337. Two other teams also figured in
the rolling on the opening night in the
Washington Council League, La SALES
having taken two out of three from
De SotoS. La SALES won the first
game by an advantage of but three
pins. The second contest came easier.
the difference in pins being So. and in
the last round. De Sotos forged to the
front, leaving margin of twelve
pins between its score and that made
by La Sales. The above results make
the standing In the X. OF c. league,
after the first nights bowling, as fol-
lows:
Team Won, Lost. Pct.
Balboas ................. 3 LOO
La Sales ...... .667

In the De Soto-La Sale match, Fraile
made the best mark for high set, his
total being 2SS. High game. III, was

Poehlman of Balboss scored high game,
l0S, and Armstrong of Champlains

Balboa match.
Royals Won the first and dropped the
last contest to Belmonts when those
teams met in the District Duckpin
League. Michaud, of Belmonts. rolled
high game, with a score of 119.. The
bowling of Rider. of Royals, was the
feature of the evening.
In the Terminal Railroad Y VI. c. A
League. Station took the first and
third games, leaving the middle string
for Shops. Dickinson and Hassett
proved the biggest help to their re-
spective quints. while, the work of
Warthen, for Station, was also good.
District National Bank. of the Mer-
camille League, experienced good
night on the alleys, taking two out of
of the best rolling done by the Bankers
this year was seen in the match, Dor
ritee's totals being particularly high.
Rollers in the Arcade League contend
today that last nights games between
Imperials and Holmeads was the closest
rolled there for many nights. I'M
perials got away nicely with the open
ing game. but it was in the second
string that the scores ran along evenly
until the vehy last box. Imperials took
the game by a single pin. the scores be-
Ing f79-47S. The final game was won by
who totaled 511 pins to 4s6
for ImperialS.

R|XEY TO REMAIN
WITH THE PH|LL|ES
Young Southpaw Too Valuable
to Figure in Any Trade
With Chicago.

PHILADELPHIA, January 25.-Reports
said to emanate from the headquarters
Of the Chicago Cubs bring the surprising
news that Manager Johnny Evers would
like to have Earl Moore and Eppa Rxey
1r., two OF the Phillies' pitchers. For once
it can be surmised that there is some
truth in the alleged reports. Joe Tinker
Of the Reds. Fred Clarke Of Pittsburgh
and very likely John McGraw Of the
Giants might consider paying a moderate
salary to either of the two pitchers, to
say nothing of what George StaIlfngs of
Boston, Miller Higgins of st. Louis or
even BAD Bilr' Dahlen of Brooklyn
might do IL pressed. So would any mana
ger who knows a good pitcher when he
sees one.
There isn't any chance of the Cubs or
any other club getting Rxey. either
through trade or purchase. If Manager
Doom continues in his right mind. and
there is nothing to the reports that Doom
is even considering trading Rixey for
any one. A glance over Dooin's list OF
pitchers should be enough to satisfy any
one that such a move would be a very
foolish one. There Is not a player on the
Chicago team worth as much to the Phil
lies as Rixey The Phillies have only two
left-handers of known ability. and it
is not certain that Addie Brennan will be
at his best this year. SO that If Rixey
was traded. even for Cheney of the Cubs.
the Phillies would certainly get al, the
worst Of 1t. Manager Doom has made
several trades, and all of them have
benefited the Phillies. so that he is not
going to spoil his. good record by letting
go of a youngster like Rixey. who has
proven his ability and has all his base
ball life ahead Of him.

CAPABLANCA HOLDS
LEAD At CHESS GAME
Cuban Champion Registers
Fourth Consecutive Victory
in American Tournament.

NEW YORK, January 25.-With most
Of the favorites winning in yesterday s
fourth round at the Cafe Boulevard, Jose
R. Capablanca kept his place at the head
Of the fourteen experts competing for
national llonors in the second American
tournament.
The Cuban champion made it four
straight by winning from J. H. Morri-
son Of Toronto. the Canadian champion
F. j. Marshall scored at the expense of
H. Liebenstein of Baltimore, David jan
owsh Of Paris outwitted A. Kupchik OF
this city, and Charles Jaffe took into
camp Harry Kline Of Boston. These re-
suits left Jaffe and Chajes. who meet to-
day. tied for second place. only a half
point behind Capablanca, with Marshall
a good third.
Capablanca had but little trouble with
Morrison, winning in twenty-four moves
Marshall. too. had an easy time winning
the game lasting thirty three moves.
In the other games Jaffe had mar
row escape with Kline, who had decided
ly the better Of 1t, but lost his grip
Chajes won out in lengthy struggle
lasting sixty-one moves. Tenenwurzel
outplayed Rubinstein in capital style, and
the game between Whitaker and Zapo-
leon, two rival players from Washington.
was scored in favor Of Whitaker after
thirty moves.
After four rounds. the contestants have
the following scores:

natl would land him. The explanation for
his selecting Chicago, however, is that he
realized with Archer on the same team he
would not have to work regularly, for 1t
seems assured that Archer will do the
bulk of the work, making it rather easy
for Roger. Had he gone to either Gin
! cinnati or Pittsburgh he would have been
the first catcher of those teams, and In
such case would have been in the game
most of the time.
It is not unlikely that there will be
some trading at the coming meeting Of
stands to reason that the New York club
is in the market, and as it appears to be
the general desire Of the American
League to help out Farrelrs team. it is
almost certain that some of the clubs
will turn over some players for Chance
to build up his team with.
The fact that Lajoie has signed another
Cleveland contract does not make him
immune from a trade. Rumor will not
down that Cleveland Is willing to consider
proposition for the big Frenchman.
and there could be no more ideal place
for him than New York.
Every player on the champion Red Sox
team expects to receive a substantial
boost in salary this year. Good! This
worthy expectation not only adds to the
JOY Of nations. but is a moral to ambi-
tious club owners. If you bid for ten
prepared to pay for it at SO much per
square bunt, for every time a player s
batting average on the diamond increases
his employers batting average in the
bank decreases.
The Red Sox, however. arc not playing
in the holdout league. They contend
merely that the club was big gamer
through the world SERIES which their SUI
perior playing brought to Boston, and
they believe that they will draw bigger
attendance this year than they did last
season. Fifty-fifty is their idea of the
way the club should distribute its profits.
especially when the big earnings are due
solely to the teams good playing. 1t has
been the custom in both leagues for the
club management to increase the pay Of
winning teams at the opening of the sue
ceeding season. but up to the present
time McAleer has not indicated any such
intention.
There is just a possibility that Joe
Wood and Iris Speaker. the two bright.
particular stars of the Red SoX. will not
attach their signatures to contracts until
they have been assured Of more money.
Wood. who was the biggest factor in tine
defeat Of the Giants, thinks that he is at
least worth as much to his team as
Walter johnson is to the Washingtons;
yet he is not getting as much salary.
Eventually both Wood and Speaker are
going to sign like all other players at
fected with the holdout fever, but the
chances are good that the year will be
more profitable financially for each than
any previous season.

THORPE UNDER FIRE
Amateur Standing of All Round
Champion Challenged.
CLAIM HE PLAYED PRO BALL
Manager Clancy Of Winston-Salem
Club, However, Denies He Made
Statement About Indian.

NEW YORK. January Exchanges
questioning the amateur standing of
James Thorpe. the Indian athlete and all
round Olympic champion. were filed yes
terday afternoon with James e. Sullivan.
secretary Of the Amateur Athletic Union.
The charges are important because II
sustained they would destroy Thorpe
eligibility as an amateur when he won
the Pentathlon and Decathlon contests in
the Olympic games at Stockholm last
summer and also would depose him as
the American all-round champion, a IT,
tie he won here upon his return from
Sweden.
The charges are based on the statement
claimed to have been made by Charles c.
A. Clancy, manager of the Winston-Salem
base ball team OF the Carolina Associa-
ton. Clancy is quoted in the charges as
stating that the Indian pitched and
played first base for the Winston-Salem
club In 1910.
Glenn Warner. coach Of the Carlisle In
dian School athletes. last night received
a letter from Clancy, in which the latter
denies making the statements attributed
to him in Worcester (Mass) newspaper
and incloses a clipping from Boston pa
per in which he makes q complete denial
Of the alleged interview.
Clancy further states that Thorpe never
played on his team In the Carolina Asso-
citation or any other team in that league.
He states that he knows absolutely moth
ing that would reflect on Thorpe's anna
teur standing.
James e. Sullivan, chairman Of the ma
tional registration committee, said last
night:
Il don't believe there is any truth in
the charges Of professionalism against
Thorpe. have every confidence In his
amateur standing"
Sullivan said he had had a long tall,
over the telephone with Coach Warner OF
Carlisle, during which Warner read the
letter from Manager Clancy to him deny
ing that Thorpe had ever played on
Clancy's team or any other team in the
league and also denying the statements
attributed to him.
