Relay Team Will Meet Carlisle
Indian Four at Johns Hop.
kins Games Next Month.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Jan. D.
Manager Churchman, of the Virginia
track team announced today the pro-
gram for the indoor season. The first
public appearance viii be at the Johns
Hopkins meet in Baltimore February Is.
One week later two meets occur. one In
Richmond, under the auspices of Rich
mond College, the other, the George
Washington meet in Washington. One
week following these meets, the entire
squad will be taken up to the George
town annual indoor games March i.
Under present plans, the relay team
will not be entered In the South Allan
tic mile relay championship. but will be
pitted against the Carlisle Indians in
the Baltimore meet. Had Georgetown
entered the South Atlantic champion
ship, and Virginia, likewise. have been
a contender, a victory by either would
have detracted considerably from their
annual race In the Georgetown meet,
two weeks later. Besides, Pop" Lam
nigan, the Virginia trainer, is having mis-
four. and at this early date he could
hardly enter a team capable of holding
their own In d race of this class. As
1t stands now, victory by Georgetown
in the South Atlantic championship,
would prove a big drawing card when
she met Virginia
AS regards the two meets in Rich
mond and Washington on February 2,
the plans are to send the greater part
IL not the whole squad to Washington.
Washington, and Lee wishes to meet
them in A mile relay race in Washing
ton on that night. while Pennsylvania
also is anxious for a race at this dis
tance. In former years Virginia has
been conspicuous entrant at both
meets, so IL is unfortunate that the
dates conflict. Relay teams most prob
ably will be sent to both cities, while
the point contenders will strive for the
George Washington trophy. which they
captured last year
Rain yesterday kept the squad in
doors Trainer LanniSan ran the men
as best he could in the gymnasium, but
hopes to have everybody outside today.
1t was hoped that Todd could see his
way clear to report yesterday, but there
now appears little hope OF him running
again under the Orange and Blue. Lam
nigan says the point team is one of the
weakest TO has ever had, and bewaiis
the fact that there is not even one capa-
bic sprinter. The relay candidates are
marked for heavy week of ii in view
Of the poor time trials of Saturday.
Captain Cooke and Crowly looked rath-
eT well. but such men as Guy and Fite
failed miserably to keep to the stand
ard. lot OF Improvement must be
looked for In the near future.

NASHVILLE DOPE is
AGAINST BALENT|
Critics Say Wallace Should Be
Signed Again, as Indian viii
!. Fail in Trial. }

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 2s.-Here's
an inside tip for George stovall and
Colonel Hedges:
Sign Bobby Wallace to his 1913 con-
tract Immediately and don't rely upon
Mike Balenti. heap-big Injun, to be-
come a sensation and guard the Browns
shortstop field this year.
Talented critics who inhabit this part
of Uncle Sans territory do not hail
Balenti as being accomplished enough
to be ready for the American League.
The advancement of Mike and Dee
Walsh to the major circle was quite a
surprise down here. because those who
keep in close touch with Southern
League athletes state that Balenti and
Walsh are from American League class.
OF course, II took Joe Jackson, Ty
Cobb, Hans Wagner. Arnold Hauser, Ed
Honey, Bert Shotten Rube Marquard.
and many, many others. some time to
develop into the stars they are today.
no II may be that the Browns Southern
League captures will become famous In
due time. S.-.
Here Is Dope.
There's the hitch. though. We learn
that Balepti and Walsh are not due as
OF the Nashville Banner, and a few
other diamond celebrities We Cleaned
the information that the Browns did not
get the cream of the shortstoppers, but
that they haye picked up a few youths
who are not heralded as marvels and
phenoms, but who may make few Of
the Brownies hustle for their jobs.
In saving that Balenti and Walsh are
not quite ripe for the big set. Nye
brought out Spalding's 1872 record book
II shows that the Injun batted .2ss in
13s games, pilfered p sacks. and scored
60 runs.
The figures on Walsh aren't even as
attractive. as at Mobile Dee" swatted
.22 in rs games. stole % bases and
scored A runs.
Wallace Still There.
Against such statistics the aged but
reliable Bob Wallace batted PA in SO
games and led all the regular short
stops in fielding with a .942 average.
The home fans will remember that the
Scot practically was a cripple through
out the season and performed his duties
rot only with a pair of dented hands,
but his legs were SCARED where a
sharpened spike had edged its way or a
slide had scraped off inches OF cuticle.
While Southerners do not boost Bal
enti and Walsh they do praise Jack
Johnston, the .outfielder Hedges snatch
ed from Montgomery, and Outhelder
Sloan of Bristol, the team which won
the Appalachian League flag.
Johnston Is a natural slugger.' re-
lated critic Nye. "He didn't join Mont
comeT-y until about the middle of the
wear and batted 80. I've seen a lot
OF the young fellows come in the league,
but | don't think | miss the dope in
saying that he's one OF the best.
Johnston can field better than Zach
Wheat and when Wheat was down here
we thought he was about the star. He
will need 4 little coaching. OF course,
but the bosses of the Browns will want
to handle him a bit and keep their eyes
on him, because I think he'll be as good
as anybody they have lined up for the
outfield."

that Chick" Rose. a weiterweight,

fought Rose all over the ring. landing

MEXICO CITY IS IN
HOLIDAY ATTIRE
But There Is Little Real Joy,
Though Huerta Celebrates
Birthday.

MEXICO CITY, Dec 23.-Feeble
efforts have been made to arrange
holiday festivities in Mexico City
this year
Governor Corona of the Federal
district, has enlisted a few of the
city's fashionable women to assist
him in holding a kermess in one of
the public parks, but even this show
of holiday spirit is half apologetic,
it being announced that the proceeds
are to go toward buying clothing for
the poor.
Merchants in Mexico annually dress
their windows and stores to attract
the gift buying public, but unlike
the stores in the United States, the
rush is not over until one week
later Only a few Mexicans buy
presents and distribute them on
Christmas, but all of them want 20
give tokens of their love and friend
ship on New Years Day.
This year the merchants have made
little effort to capture the holiday
money. Sentiment has dulled the
buying spirit and war has drained
the money bags. AS a people the
Mexicans are impoverished. Mer-
chants who had placed orders early
in the year with European toy houses
have generally cancelled them be
cause of the increased duty or all i'm
portations. 81 hop windows as
