ASHLAND, VA, March with
the close OF the basketball season for
the yellow Jackets they feel that II
has been on the whole successful
one THE season ended more than a
wick ago when the Yellow Jackets
defeated the William and Mary quin-
tette bv the score of 3s 10 %. There
was an attempt made to get these
two teams to play the tie OFF in the
Eastern Virginia lntercoileglate
league. This tie was brought about
bv william and Mary and Randolph
Macon each having lost one game and
won one game from each other. This
attempt, however was unsuccessful
and the tie will stand.
The basketball monographs have not
vet been awarded. However, there are
eight men who met the requirements
To. become eligible for the monogram.
and il is probable that the athletic
hoard will grant all of the eight men
their monographs. This Will make a
large number of "lettered" men for
one season, but several of the men
were SO evenly matched on the floor
that il was impossible for Coach Reiss
to select the five best men.
A man eligible for his letters
must have played in at least six games
and as long as ten minutes IN that
number of games. Those eligible are:
G. X. Brown, A. S, Millican, captain

Brown played center for the yell

whole season was tnvaiuante TO the

BIG MEET IN RALEIGH
ARRANGEMENTS FOR INTERCoL-
LEGIATE MEET BETWEEN
WAKE FOREST AND
TRINITY.

Especial to The Richmond Nirginian)
TRINITY COLLEGE, DURHAM,
n. c., March 9.-Prospects for a
fine track team at Trinity this year
are very encouraging at the present
time. Each afternoon, scores of men
are out in the field running and try
ing to get themselves in shape for
the final rceet which will be held on
the campus during the afternoon Of
Monday. March 18th.
The movement for r track team
that started two years ago. and which
has been steadily gathering Roadway
every year is still growing Last
year. the Trinity team participated in
the meet at Raleigh with disastrous
results, and it will be entered again
this year
The organization in Raleigh which
financed the meet last year was UNI
willing TO back the project again this
year. bat contracts are being pre-
pared by which the participating col
leges will bind themselves to pay their
proportionate share of the deficit
should there be one. This action as
sures the holding of another meet to
he held sometime during the early
spring.
Trinity's Varsity team is to be pick
ed from the men who enter the va
rious events in the class field day
meet. The date for this annual af-
fair has been set for Monday. March
18th.
The cup given by the "Tombs." one
of the secret organizations Of the col
icge to the winning class, was Of
fered with the provision that any
class that won it for three successive
years would win it as q permanent
possession. The cup has already been
won twice by the class of 1914. and
if that class wins again this year, the
trophy viii be the permanent prop
crty Of the class, In view of this fact
all the classes nf tha coI4ega-are put
ting forth their strongest efforts to
see that the juniors fail in their effort
this wear to capture the coveted prize.
The Varsity manager and captain
are bending every effort to get the
men on the field TO practice so that
there may be large number of men
from which to pick the Varsity ag-
gregation
Manager Ratcliffe announces that
he has arranged a meet with Wake
Forest TO be held at Wake Forest
before the State meet comes off in
Raleigh No definite date for this
meet has as yet been chosen. but
there is no doubt about the affair
being held.
1t will he the first track meet with
Wake Forest that Trinity has held in
many years, and the rivalry will be
the greatest ever. Wake Forest has
only recently lost a series of two
basketball games 10 Trinity. and the
Baptists are very anxious to atone
for their shortcomings and TO get
even
by the outcome Of this contest.

Miss Marion Sherwood, playing the
title role in 'The Thief for the past
two seasons relates some very ir-
tcrestinE experiences, while crossing
the continent with message to wo-
men that teaches a great lesson. Two
years ago her employers offered her
the stellar part at a much larger
salary in a new play which has been
assured a years run in Gotham. Miss

continue with THE Thief until the
great majority of the cities and towns

THOMAS Upton
SAME OLD SPORT
ANXIOUS TO TAKE ANOTHER TRY
AT THE YACHT RACE
EINALTTY.

Sir Thomas Upton seems to be in
real-sure-e enough earnest about going
up against the yacht test again. The
report that he had issued a challenge
has been verified.
When asked as to his previous state
ment that he would not challenge
again for the Americas cup except
under the universal rules prevailing
for yacht racing in America Sir
Thomas Upton answered:
Wen. II is ten years since the last
international race in America. l chal-
lenged six years ago under the uni
versal rules, but my challenge was
not accepted. / thought that, for the
sake Of yachting, both here and in
America. 1t was time we had another
try for the cup. Hence my challenge
under the conditions laid down in the
deed OF gift.
Had anyone come along in the
interval l should have been pleased
TO assist all l could, bur seeing that
nobody offered race, | thought Great
Britain should have another try. and
l hope TO experience better luck this
time.
My designer holds out good hope
Of success without risking the lives of
the crew of the yacht while crossing
the. ocean. This always has been the
danger with the kind of boat neces-
sary to build under the deed of gift
Had the designer not assured me of
the perfect safety of the men during
the crossing, l should not have con-
sidered the idea of challenging
As TO the skipper of his yacht. Sir
Thomas said;
You know Captain Edward Syca-
more has been sailing the Shamrock
~. in international and local races in
Europe for several years. and | have
another of my American captains at
my call. Besides, | have my usual
crew Of racing men"
Sir Thomas added that it was neces-
sary to put off the race until 1914, as
it would take all that time to build

NEW YORK, March 9.--Co-operat-
ing with President Ban Johnson, of
the American ieague, il Is understood
that President Thomas j. Lynch, of
the National league, and August Herr
mann, chairman of the National
baseball commission, will take part in
a vigorous crusade against the alleged
newspaper criticisms under the names
of ceretain baseball players.
President Johnson recently issued
an order to American league players
to refrain from this practice, and
President Farrell, of the New Works,
promptly notified Manager Chance to
cancel an agreement he had made
to allow his signature 10 be attached
to articles written by various per-
sons.
Baseball Writers Object.
The New York chapter Of the
Baseball Writers association Of
America will meet here at two o'clock
tomorrow afternoon TO take action.
Assurance has been received that the
entire organization Is ready to en-
dores a set of resolutions that prob
ably will be adopted. At tomorrow s
meeting II is expected that some of
the leading major league clubs owners
will be heard from inasmuch as they
are unanimously in favor of restric-
ton.
Who They Are.
Several newspapers already have
published a list of the hall players
authors and the men who actually
write their stories for them. The
list shows that Mathewson and John
McGraw depend upon j n. Wheeler,
a New York writer to turn out their
criticisms. and anecdotes During the
worlds series last fail. Wheeler also
wrote Tesreau's "stories," while W
j. McBeth suggested and executed
Chief Meyers themes, Rube Mar
guards articles were produced by w
s. Farnsworth.
Waiter Johnson scTeeds came from
the pen of Ralph Mcmillan. Bos-
ton sporting editor. Cy Young $
pieces were turned out by Samuel
Carrick. Bill Carriean was looked
after BY A H. c. Mitchell. Tim Muir
name wrote for Speaker
Brains Behind Cobb.

In starting the crusade President
johnson contends that the baseball
public should not he deceived: that
ball players should not be allowed
to criticize members Of their teams,
and that TO avoid serious trouble in
the shape of internal dissension the
entire prictice should be wiped out.
