while johnson and Jesse will take care
of the hurdles and Crabtree will LOOK
after the 16-pound shot-puts
The coach for the Y. NJ. c. \. boys in
the track events is Louis Connor, who
got his start running for Central High
School in this city. After his graduation
there he ran for the University of Penn
syIvania, and later for Wesleyan. Later

the men named are the real old guard.
However, I do not mean to say that
we are through recruiting for the team.
The season for track and field sports is
young yet, and long before it gets into
full swing there is strong possibility
that sume new men will come in who
will Guido the best OF those we have
now. We're always glad to welcome
newcomers who will work, and they will
always get every chance in the world to

DISTRICT RIFLE TEAM
WINS ANOTHER MATCH
Defeats Birmingham Club, and Is Now
Tied for First Place with
Warren Outfit.

The District of Columbia rifle team
continued its winning streak by winning
last night from the Birmingham (Ala.)
Athletic Club by a score of SS6 to 954.
This makes the sixth consecutive victory
for the local men, and ties them for first
place with the Warren, Pa, team.
Considering that this is the first time
the team has shot in the series. its show
ing is nothing short of marvellous. Its
team scores have been exceptionally high
and the individual work at times almost
brilliant. The feature of last nights
shooting was the score of 1873 made by
Lieut. Ralph Alderman, of the Ordnance
Department, who scored 1873 out of the
possible 200, the third time this has been
accomplished so far this season.
Next week the team meets last years
champions, the Park Rife Club, of
Bridgeport Conn.

EPIPHANY.
d. c. y. C.
COLIEIANS

Georgetown's basketball cuint will
have to make a better showing against
Virginia than It did against the Trinity
College five IL il expects to be in the
running for the South Atlantic cham
pionship. The team work of the Blue
and Gray athletes IN the game with the
North Carolina team was poor Not
once during the game did the Hilltop
pers show the work they displayed in
the game against PittsburE But for
the guarding Of the forwards of Trim
iy by Wetzell and Foley, Georgetown
would have had to work their regular
five throughout the contest
Only one game this season can equal
that game in the matter Of fouls com
mftted and that was between Catholic
University and Loyola College As many
or more were called in this game, but
for a team just about to meet a con-
tender for the South Atlantic title il was
not very encouraging exhibition.
Cherry, who played center on the Trim
ity College luint. pulled a good one in
the game against Georgetown. During
the second half the Blue and Gray quInt
was caging the ball with great regular
ity, when the lanky center Of the Dur
ham. n. C. team started on his fouline
streak. After being warned by Referee
ately made a foul and remarked to
Shorty: Did you see me that time:
Well, I want you TO know that II Is bet
ter that they make only one point than
have them ring up two" Had IL not
been for the antics that Cherry went
through the game would have gone
down in basketball history as the poor
est exhibition that has ever been wit
Lessed.
Speaking of referees. could you find a
more impartial one than Shorty Hughes.
Long before the present crop of basket
ball artists were wise TO the game.
Shorty was a star at sending the bail
through the meshes, playing with the
strongest fiyes around the District. While
short of statute. the popular referee was
always willing to so against a man twice
his size. Knowing all OF the fine points
OF the indoor game and being able 10
use this knowledge to a great extent.
was able to hold his own with any OF
them. In those days might was right
and the way some of the smaller ones
got by was a wonder. The game as II
was played in Shorty'S time was much
rougher than the present-day artists put
up. always ready to trip or throw
man, give him the hip. take a crack at
his jaw, and many other ways Of put
ting a player out OF the game. Having
thus played this sort of game. Shorty Is
wise to all of the tricks and il Is very
seldom that a player can get by with
such tactics as the old-timers used.
Showing no partiality to any team.
Shorty has always given satisfaction In
every game that he has refereed Hand
ling nearly all Of the important games
played around the District and the
Georgetown schedule to the satisfaction
OF all parties, Shorty has a reputation
that any referee in the country would
be proud OF. FRANK Y COLLEY

BIG BOOM FOR
THE MAT GAME
Joe Turner, Young Olsen,
Americas, and Leo Par
dello Are Booked.
MAYARRANGETITLE BOUT
Middle-weight Champion and Holder
Of Lord Londsdale Belt
Likely to Meet.

Wrestling is being doomed again in
this city, and if the bouts are as fasl
and as exciting as the one between Joe
Turner, middle-weight champion OF the
world and Joe La Sale, at the Gayety
Thester Friday night, the mat game Is
sure to flourish again.
Manager Peck, Of the Gayety, Will
bring some of the best men in the coun-
try TO this city, and there are two men
in town at the present time who are able
to put UP a rafting good bout with any
OF the middle-weight wrestlers.
Young Olsen. champion of the New
England States, and who challenges Joe
Turner for that title, last night posted
a forfeit of 500 to cover a like sum
posted by Joe La Selle, who will meet
Olsen, to determine if the New Eng
lander can defeat Turner. La SelIe put
up a great bout against Turner, only CIV
ing up the second fall after his arm had
been all but broken.
Olsen has defeated such men as Bob
Berry, Hansen, Sam Anderson, and Ka-
lonis. When Turner was in Boston, Oh
sen issued a challenge to the local hoy,
but Turner left town before the chal-
lenge was received by Matchmaker Tou-
hey. Olsen wrote three letters to local
sporting men, and as a result Manager
Peck thinks that he is entitled to
chance to win the middle-weight title
and Police Gazette belt, now held by
Turner
On the other hand. Turner says that
Olsen must defeat some good man here
before he will give him a chance. and
Manager Peck has agreed to book Olsen
and La Selle. This match will take place
this week
Americus Here.
Manager Mayer. of the Lyceum
Theater. has booked Americus and Leo
Pardello at his playhouse for Thursday
hight, and fast bout is looked for. The
I-yCeum will he the scene of several in
toresting events this winter. and wrest-
ling fans can count on seeing some of
she best heavy-weghts in the country in
action at the Pennsylvania Avenue
theater.
Americus wIo is hot after Frank
Gotch and Zbyszko for the heavyweight
championship Of the world. will take on
Leo Pardello, fighting Italian, and this
match should be a hummer. Later Man
ager Mayer plans to have DR.. Roller,
Yankee Rogers. and Jim Calvin, the
Irish giant. perform here.
Jim Calvin will meet the winner OF
the Americus-Pardello bout, and should
Americus defeat the italian, which will
more than likely happen. the Baltimore
Grappler will find that Calvin will be
one Of the toughest propositions of his
life. Calvin has been training hard all
winter. and is now in the best of condi-
ton He lately has beaten Frank Broth
-rs. the English battler; Jean LedueX,
the Canadian heavyweight titleholder,
and George Wenton, holder of the Pa
cifc coast championship among the
heavy-Weights
Taken all in all, the wrestling fans of
the District will see some fast and eX-
citing bouts during the next few weeks.
and if the grapplers work their hardest,
the matches will draw the best of any
held in this city.
