PURCHASE PRICES.
Why They Should Not Be Given to
the General Public.

Speaking of Mr.. Hugh Jennings, there
Is one sage, safe and sane suggestion
which he makes. that is. regarding the
publication of the purchase price for
young players busting" into the major
leagues from the bush. Hearken to Hugh:
IF i had my way not a club in the
league would ANNOUNCE it's purchase
prices. III quite nineteen cases out OF
twenty this practice ruins d ball player
Marquard wasn't a bit of good for two
years after he went to New York. Marty
OToOle is not showing the stuff that
made him the leading pitcher in the
American Association. Red Corriden
would never have been success in De-
troit. i could name dozens of other in
stances where ball players went wrong
because in the first few days they failed
to live up to expectations and after that
they lost confidence in themselves. What
difference does it make whether man
cost the club so or S20.COO SO long as he
delivers the goods? 1t is the clubs affair
II il chooses to pay high price for the
players. just the same as 1t is the club
ansir when ii pays star big price for
his services"

Dartmouth in two-mile relay. Jack
Kingsley, who managed the team last
year, has done everything in his power
to bring Georgetown to Hartford. Ii
must be remembered that Hartford is
kingsley's home town, and that he used
his influence to get the Georgetown team
to enter the militia meet. Manager Darr
should be congratulated upon getting such
a fine opponent as Dartmouth. No one
but the manager of the team realizes
how hard ii is to get such team as
Dartmouth as an opponent. All OF the
big northern schools usually oppose each
other in all of the northern meets. and
IL is mighty hard work for a southern
school to break i'm on them. In this relay
Georgetown should work hard for a vic
tory, as such a thing would surely do
more good for the school than almost
anything else. Johnnie Gallagher the
famous long-distance runner. will be of
great assistance that evening.
March l the big annual Georgetown
meet at Convention Hall will take place.
This affair should be one of the best
meets ever pulled off here. as the au-
thorities at the hilltop are eXerting every
effort possible TO make this meet one Of
the most attractive affairs in the history
of the school.
Something that has not been pulled of
in several years is a dual meet that is 10
be held with Virginia at Charlottesville
March 81. Manager Darr stated that all
arrangements have been completed for
this affair and that such meeting would
be held every year. This meet should
cause great deal OF excitement. There
is no reason by such meeting should
not take place The rivalry between
meet, which will take place in March, is
run as il should be run, then there is sure
to be even greater rivalry established be-
tween Georgetown and Virginia.

NEW YORK. January 1s-Preston NJ.
Burch. the we'll known American horse
man, who recently returned from Paris,
where he had been engaged training
horses, says ii is a pity that horse rae
ing is not permitted in the United States
The United States once held a very
prominent place among the racing coun-
tries of the world. said Mr. Bu~ch but
now biased public opinion and general
all-around Indifference, with few excep-
tons, on the part of horse owners has
caused great decline. While the United
States is still the home of several ia
nous horses which doing excellent
work in Europe, il is no longer properly
considered the home of any sort Of rae
ing. The foremost racing countries of

TO SPEED Up GAMES
An Umpire's Views Expressed
on a Very important Matter.
SAVE TEN MINUTES A GAME
Tommy Connolly Tells Of a Few
Time-Saving Moves to Be En-
ployed This Year.
AVE TEN MINUTES A GAME

BOSTON. Mass. January 1S.-Umpire
Tommy Connolly of the American League
was a visitor at Red SoX headquarters
during the past week. coming from his
home in Natick. In discussing means by
which the playing time of games could
be shortened as was suggested at the
annual meeting of the American League
in Chicago, Mr. Connolly was of the Opin-
ion that the only saving of time could
be made by speeding up the working o.
the batteries and by beginning play i'm
mediately upon the striking of the gong
announcing that the time for play had
arrived. He said that some Of the pitch
ers used up, in the aggregate, pdooaDly
ten minutes in a game in pretending to
moisten the ball, when 1t Is all DUN
and no moisture is applied, the object
being to mislead the batsman into be-
ieving that he was to be served with
splitter" He said they generally used
more time in their efforts at deception
than would be used if they actually ap-
piled the moisture, simply because they
overdid the thing, and thus aroused the
suspicion of the batter. Some catchers,
too he thought, lost time that might pc
saved by Withholding the signals While
looking over the situation with men on
bases. Some of them start in with these
tactics at the very beginning OF the game
and keep it up al through. The worst
Of it u.s. Connolly says, is that 1t usually
accomplishes nothing, for so much time
is spent on it that the opposing payers
have an opportunity to dope out what
is coming off and prepare themselves ac-
cordingly, sometimes turning what 1ol-
lows to their own advantage.
Sometimes the substitute players. who
are on the field in practice. withdraw re-
luctantly at the sound of the gong. and
make way too slowly for the regulars
who are to begin the game. Time for
just one more: just one more. the men
who are batting up flies ask for. until
they finally have to be driven off. A little
time was sometimes lost by this.
The batteries however, Umpire Con-
could be speeded up. and some time might
thus be saved. The teams now go onto
the field and come off on the run at the
beginning and end of each inning. and
no time Is lost in this respect. Some one
present said that the pitcher does about
is per cent of the work in the game and
that he is entitled to the breathing spell
he gets during these apparently unneces-
sary delays of the battery. and the aues-
ton arose if lie might not lose some Of
his effectiveness If he is hurried any more
than at present. Some one else claimed
that the fans wanted about two hours
of base ball in nine innings. anyway; that
an ordinary game played in much less
time than that would seem too short
Mr.. Connolly said he did not know about
that: he believed the object was to cut
out only the unnecessary delays, which
had a tendency to make the game tire
some The question was still in the air
when the umpire had to leave in orj1er
to get his train for home.

HAS LONG SCHEDULE
G. U. Track Team to Get
Many Tests.
WILL MEET BEST RELAYS
Blue and Gray Has Brilliant Pros.
poets for Winning
Four.

Manager Eugene Dat-r of the George
town University track team yesterday
gave out his track schedule for the COM
ing year 1t is safe to say that a Blue
and Gray squad has never been repre-
this year. Every one of the meets that
Georgetown has entered is of Importance
In each one of these affairs the HILL
toppers will be forced to show great
deal Of class i'm order to make good
showing. because the best athletes of the
country will be opposed to them.
1t is needless to say that with the
wealth of material on hand now Jimmie
Milligan, the coach of the team, will be
able to whip together a squad that will
hold its own with the best of them. Mil
ligan has on his squad men who can be
depended upon to show class i'm every
meet they are entered in. There is Hor-
ter. the former Philadelphia star. who
has no equal in this part of the country
in the quarter-mile event; besides this
little wonder Milligan has other stars
as young Horter. 1t can be said that
when Manager Darr arranged such a
splendid schedule for his team he did
SO knowing that he had men capable of
uDnOlQlng the name OF Georgetown In
every meet.
The first meet that the Georgetown
team will participate in is that of Ford
ham, which is to be held in New York
city next Saturday evening. At this con-
test Georgetown will run against Holy
Cross and Fordham in a three-cornered
relay. Besides the relay team the
Georgetown manager will also have Cos
tello and McNalley entered i'm the BOO
yard run and also the sixty-five-y ard
dash. Capt. Bob Eller has also entered
the siXty-five-yard hurdles.
Manager Darr also made ii known that,
as the Blue and Gray team would Op-
pose Holy Cross next Saturday evening
I'm the three-cornered relay, it would be
advisa BILE not to send a team to the Bos-
ton Athletic Association meet, which is
to be held in Boston February s. This is
the first time in a good many years that
Georgetown has not been represented at
Boston. but Holy Cross has always
been Georgetown's opponent at this meet
out. Then, again, Boston is quite dis
lance from here, and the men have al
ways shown the strain of such trip by
making poor showing. Last year Holy
Cross trounced the Blue and Gray team
because Georgetown was simply in poor
physical condition.
February ID will find every member Of
the Blue and Gray squad entered at the
Johns Hopkins meet at Baltimore. George
town should be the strong faVorite in this
meet.
Friday evening. February q. the Blue
and Gray relay team will journey to
Hartford, Conn. and enter the naval mi
litia meet. The relay team will run
