Gray Nine.

With tie arrival of Dick Harley yes
terClay outdoor work will be started in
earnest at GEORGETOWN tomorrow after
noon. Coach Harley Is Very much
pleased over coming to Georgetown and

I;tive board at Georgetown by Capt.

nreD school Harley was the coach. and
during the spring of 1910 he turned out
one OF the best mines Blair ever had

graduate fro::; the Blue and Grey insti-
tuition thcy Immediately took Capt. Fury )
advice end secured the services of Har-
ley.
Ii is Coach Harleys plan to develop q
couple of new pitchers to work with
Fienle and Heffernan. Both these men
are certain to do the bulk of the twiri-
ing but Coach Harley knows that he
must have two other reliable pitchers he
can depend on. and will work with this
idea In view. Kelley, the youngstcr from
Buffalo. is lad who Is said to possess a
good pitching arm. A man in authority
who has seen young Kelley in action

BOWLERS KICKING.
Want the Loaded Ball and to Name
Place for JOURNEYS.

CHICAGO. March 4.-One-tifth of the
Chicago members of the American Bowl
ing Congress stand ready to desert the
organization, as the Cleveland players
have threatened to do, on account of
it's legislation barring the 'dodo' ball,
according to reports here last night.
The proportion named as dissatisfied
Was, that indicated by the vote in the city
over the loaded ball. and is held to be
conservative. The "dodo' vote here was
called secret" but every voter was re-
CURED to sign his ballot and is said TO
haze. been openly canvasscd by some Of
icial of the Chicago Bowling Associ;t-
ton who asked him To go on record
against the .'dodo. Proprietors OF some
of tine leading alleys say it will be i'm
possible for them to bar the ball. as
their patrons will not have it so.
Many of the Chicago clubs hold with
Cleveland also that the teams instead of
the officials should name the city where
the tournaments are to be held.

CUP DEF|S ARE IN
Seven Nations Challenge for
Davis Tennis Trophy.
CANADA TO SEND A TEAM
Germany Also to Try for Blue Rib
bon of Courts for the
First Time.

LONDON. March 4-Seven nations have
challenged for the Dwight +. Davis in
ternational lawn tennis challenge cup.
Entries for the annual series of matches
closed yesterday with the English Lawn
Tennis Association, and, as expected, the
number of competitors exceeds that of
any previous year in the history of the
world famous trophy. The nations which
will meet in the preliminary ties to de-
eide the challenger of the British Isles
holders include the United States, Can
ada. France, Germany Australasia South
Africa and Belgium.
The size of the list is no surprise to
the officials Of the governing association
Ever since the cup was won again for
the British Isles by Charles p Dixon
J. {. Par!se, 4. T.. Beamish and F. Cor
don Lowe last November at Melbourne
the nations have signifed their inten-
ton to strive for the trophy. 1t is I'M
derstood that the matches in the cup
finals will be decided on the historic
courts at Wimbledon, while the prelim-
mary ties will be played on such courts
as the officials of the British council NAV
elect
The preliminary ties probably will be
played during the week beginning July
IA, which will allow of the clearing of the
all-England championship from the VIM
bledon turf, and then the cup series of
four singles and one doubles will be
fought out the following week.
Two Of the challengers come from ma
tons which have hitherto not stood
among the competitors. as Canada and
German. have never before figured in
the competitions for the Davis cup. There
are a number of Canadians. notably Ken
meth Powell, among the students at the
universities. and the team will be made
up from among these colonials. Otto
t'rotsheim is regarded as the proba BILE
leader of the German forces, although
because of the interest which Emperor
William takes in the game it is likely
that he will have a hand in the nonina-
tons.
Unless Maurice b Mclaughlin heads
the invasion from the United States there
will be disappointment in the British
ranks. the defeated team of 1911 loud
~ chanted his praises. Norman E.
Brooks, Anthony f. Wilding, A. W. Dun
Iop. s. n. Doust and Rod w Heath are
slated for the Australia sian team The
French challeneers are expected to NOM
mate Andre II. Colbert, w. II. Laurentz
and Max Decueis. who We're defeated by
The Britons in the ties of last july.
1T Will be necessary for ;he chaileng-
ing nations to formally nominate their
players and officially post them with the
English Lawn Tennis AsSoCia ton about
May /.
The draw for the preliminary matches
in the competition for the Selec; ion of a
challenger for the Dwight f. Davis lawn

The United States VS.. Australasia

Damage to property amounting to
thousands of dollars. was caused by
the terrific gale north of Hammond
early this morning when wires and
telephone poles were blown down,
small shacks demolished and box cars
blown into the lake.
The G. II. Hammond company's ice
houses at Wolf lake suffered the most
damage when the west roof the large
ice house was ripped off as if it had
been of paper. A large chute, which
is used for hosting ice into the ice
house was also wrecked and demolish-
ed. So strong the gale that it
lifted a box car off the l. II. Belt side
track at Wolf lake and blew it into
were also wrecked.
At Kindefs grove a building, used
for storing ice, was blown from its
foundation and partially demolished.
Boats moored on the west side of Mud
lake were loosened from their fasten-
er's tents We're destroyed and found in
a tree several hundred feet from where
they had been erected.

fred from the storm, where windows
twre broken and a number of small
shacks demolished. At the B. & o.

and the inhabitants in many sections
of both towns were thrown into a
panic. In Oklahoma, men and wom-

The most serious damage reported
was to the Northern Indiana Gas and
Electric company's equipment and to
that of the telephone company. The

from the storm.
For several hours the Twin Cities
were plunged into darkness, every arc

TERRIBLE LOSS OF
LIFE IN STORM

Lincoln, Neb, March 24.-At
least 200 persons were killed in a
cyclone which laid waste scores of
blocks in Omaha, according to re-
ports from the stricken city early
today. Many were killed in
suburban towns which were de-
stroyed.
No definite estimate of the dead
can be made at this hour, how
ever. BY some it is placed at 100,
and by others at 500. The cy-
clone swept through the resi-
Dental district of Omaha, cutting
a path four blocks wide and five
miles long.
Hundreds of buildings were de-
stroyed and at least 100 persons
were crushed to death. The roster
of injured will reach 1000.
Mayor Dahlman has asked the
governor to call militia to prevent
Iooting. A flood of rain that be-
gan at O'Clock in the afternoon,
was followed by cyclone that
struck the better residence parts
of the city. Residences were TAX
en- from their foundations and
twisted to pieces by the wind. The
Woodmen of the World building,
the highest structure in the city,
was damaged to a great extent,
every piece of glass from two sides
being blown out A big fire ragged
at 18th and aCsh streets and other
smaller blazes broke out in the
residence district. Firemen were
unable to respond to all the
alarms.

DECISION
DELAYED FOR
FOR 8 DAYS

Judge Lawrence Becker did not de-
eide the Gary saloon case this morning
as was expected. Attorneys Bruce and
Matthews, amici curae. filed a lengthy
brief in the case a few days ago and
this will have to be gone through by
the court before making his decision.
The court announced that he would
probably not be able to go ovre the
whole matter until next Friday or pos
sibly until Monday The delay was
a great disappointment to the attor-
neys for the saloonkeepers who are
anxious to get a decision in the case
and take an appeal so that the matter
can be settled.
The opinion seems to be general that
the case might be decided either way
and still be reversed by the supreme
court. The court room was filled
with lawyers who were interested in
the outcome of the case.
