Washington athletes who will run in

championship event in Baltimore on
New Year Day are spending today
and tomorrow in putting on the fin
ishlng touches to the training which
has been in process for the past three
weeks Several members of the Bal
the South Atlantic Cross country
in Washington and the Carroll Insti-
tute runners compose the entrants
from this city. and both camps re-
ported their candidates in rare con-
dition for the struggle which con-
fronts them on Thursday. The Christ
mas practice event held in this city
was the last hard training the local
runners have encountered, the re-
lnaIn6er of the time being devoted
10 just sufficient work to keep the ath-
letes in good trim.
Little bOasting is being done either in
Washington or Baltimore and no pre-
dictions as to the probable Individual or
team winner are being heard. Dan
Healy. Mike Lynch. and Bobby Will
Hams, of Carroll Institute. are consid-
cred a dangerous trio, but their ability
on the path Is said to be no better than
that Of Geller and Eiphinstone, who will
compete for the Milton University, Of
Baltimore.
The Cross Country Club probably has
the greatest number of athletes from
which to draw. Eckenroth. Scoficld,
Conroy, and Royal are likely looking
runners of the local contingent and to
add to these. Baltimore has several fast
athletes who can be counted upon to

Warned to Keep Out of Politics,
Now Seeks Stock in Red
S1x Club.

BOSTON Dec. 30.-Mayor John +.
Fitzgerald is seeking to acquire stock
in either Of the local big league clubs,
and ii is rumored strongly that he
will take over the holdings Of the
Taylors in the Red Sox- John J. Ian
min is an old friend of Mayor Fitz-
gerald, and, il the latter buys out the
Taylors. they should get along well
together. The Taylors are believed to
be willing to sell their stock in the
club.
In 1904 Fitzgerald sought TO pur-
chase the Red SoX, but he failed to
get enough names on his list to sat
isfy the league. Since then he has
not given the matter any thought
However. now that his physician has
warned him 10 stay out of politics. it
Is thought that he will make another
attempt to get into baseball.
Fitzgerald is exceedingly popular in
this city and numbers his friends by
the thousand. If he becomes identi-
fed with baseball here. he is sure to
bring II much, financial benefit.

The reserve clauseis so called, in>the
baseball contract. Is nothing new OF
strange in the law Of contracts" says
Toole. ut is merely the application
of well established legal principles
to a new situation. The essentials OF
a contract briefly are: 1. Parties COM
petent to make an agreement; 2.
something to agree ON, and s. suf-
ficient consideration for the bargain.
I'VE have all these requisites when
a baseball manager and player get
together and agree on terms. II as
part OF contract Of service for this
year in baseball or. in selling goods,
man gives to the employer an op-
ton on his time for next year Is Ii
anything unusual? Not at all.
The making Of the contract for one
year whereby one party agrees to
render service for which the second
party agrees to pay would be good
consideration to support an option on
the services for : following year. "a
The present contract goes beyond
that however, and specifically pro-
vides that q portion of the salary
agreed to be paid to the player Is to
be regarded as direct consideration
for the privilege granted to the club
of reserving the player.
