Ed STEBB|NS AND
BREWER IN FIGHT
Each Is Candidate For Cap
taincy of Georgetown VAR
sity's Track Team.
ELECTION TO BE HELD TODAY
Coach MuIIigan Will Discuss
Plans For Coming Season
With Athletes.
ELECTION TO BE HELD TODAY

Newly Brewer and Ed Stebbins,
stars of the Georgetown track team,
are candidates for the captaincy to be
decided today at a special meeting.
Notices have been sent to all members
Of last years team, and those unable
to be present will register their choice
by mail The election was postponed
last spring. but every member of the
team will have chance to vote now.
Brewer has been a member of the
Blue and Gray track squad for three
years, during which he has won many
points for the Hilltop school, so, from
point Of service, he looks to oe the
man entitled to the honor. Stebbins,
however, has proven himself to be one
of the most sensational runners who has
represented the West End institution
since the days, of Arthur Duffy and
Bernie Wefers. holding the South At
iantic, college and amateur record for
the 4fo-y ard distance, and for this rea-
son he is certain to push Brewer hard
in the matter of votes. Stebbins also
was a member of the 1912-1913 under
graduate relay four which won such a
signal victory from Virginia, and this
act gives him an additional hold on the
captaincy title.
Coach Mulligan will attend the meet
ing, and several plans for the approach
ing campaign will be decided upon.
Judging from The present outlook,
Coach Mulligan will find ii a difficult
task TO turn out squad as capable az
the one which were the Blue and Gray Of
the Hilltoppers last winter, although
several of the 1912-1919 troupe are still
eligible.
Besides Brewer and Stebbins. Multi
gan will have for a nucleus about which
TO mold his team Hugh Golden, win
ner of the handicap sprints and hurdles
last year; Pete McNulty, the clever
hurdler from New York; Leo Lawler.
the distance veteran; Brent Young, the
local star, who did fine work in the
middle distances last winter: McNa1ly,
the sprinter, who showed rare promise
during the past campaign, and Bob FL
Ter. ex-captain and star sprinter and
hurdler, If he decides to resume the
game.
In addition to these veterans, Multi
gan will have Johnny Campbell, the
city. the winner of many local Mara
thons Nubby Jones, Western High
Schools sprint champion, who captured
many points for the Red and White
schooi Dave 'McCartny. another we'll
known local boy, and several other men
of ability, who made enviable reputa-
tons last year while running for various
high and prep schools throughout the
country.
Manager Carter is busily at work
with his schedule, and If the team shows
promise ii is certain that an extension
campaign will be mapped out for them
Several relay races with prominent
Northern schools are now being con-
templated, and as soon as Coach Null
ligan expresses himself as being salts
fed with his aggregation. contracts will
be signed.

MENUS OF THE FUTURE
WILL HAVE ODD SOUND.
Many New Foods With Strange
Names, but Good Taste.

Boiled d%asheens. fried ptesai, entree
Of jujube, udo salad and %breadfruit
pudding will be a fair sample Of the
menu of the near future. according to
David F%airchild. chief agricultural ex-
plorer in charge Of the bureau of plant
industry, United States department Of
agriculture.
According to Mr.. Fairchild, his bu-
reau within the last few years has
experimental with more than 5000
food products, one Of which has ever
before been produced in this country
and many of which have never been
produced before anywhere. In other
words, the bureau Of plant industry
has out-Burbanked Burbank.
The most notable success of the bu-
reau. Mr.. Fairchild says, has been
with the dasheen. which, according
to the chief explorers description, is a
sort of cross between a potato, a Gu
cumber and a Mexican hairless dog.
looking Il little like each.
The dasheen grows to about three
times the size of a large potato. It is
oblong in shape, with queer bumps
here and there which might pass for
caricatured legs. 1t is striped like a
zebra and boasts a luxuriant crop Of
long, coarse hair.
But for all it's queer appearance. Mr..
Fairchild says. it can be served in
many of the ways common to both
white and sweet potatoes and that it
tastes better than either. Also. prop
erly tended. it's yield is larger and
lasts all the year round. The dasheen
is now being raised extensively in the
extreme south and has recently been
served at several notable New York
and Washington banquets.
The udo, the most successful freak
vegetable after the dasheen. looks very
much like asparagus 1t possesses the
advantage. however. Of being edible
either as a cooked vegetable. eaten
raw as a fruit or being served as the
chief ingredient Of Il salad.
Ptesai is a Chinese cabbage. larger
than the domestic kind. It's novelty
lies in the fact that it car be cooked
without giving off any odor.

sCHAUER, $4,000 PITCHER.
Some Experts Say Giants Youngster

Some Experts Say Giants Youngster
Is Greatest of Minor Leaguers.
Alexander ]. ("Rube') Schauer, the
sensational Superior (Wis.) pitcher, pur-
chased by the New York Giants for
$4,000, according to some experts, is
the greatest pitcher who has appeared
in the minor leagues in years and was
much sought after by all the major
league scouts.
Curley Ulrick, promoter in Superior,
sends along the following comment on
the pitching find Of the year:
"Schauer pitched but eight profess
sional games previous to being signed
by Superior last spring. The eight
games on the previous record of Mr..
Alexander J.. were pitched at Garrison,
N. D., which is the home town of the
now famous athlete.
"Garrison has a semipro team made
up Of boys from that vicinity, and the
players split up the gate receipts after
paying the expenses. Schauer accord
ingly received his first regular pay
when Bill CONNER handed him a check
for his first months pay just about a
month ago.
"Schauer has pitched three no-hit
games this year and holds the strike
out record in his league.
Before twirling for Garrison 'Rube'
pitched a few games for school teams
and performed on the corner lots, so
that his pitching for Superior practi-
cally is the first real test he ever had"

BOTTLES CAUSE FIRES.
Forest Wardens Now Bury Them
When Found In Woods.

Beer and whisky bottles. carelessly
thrown to the ground in timbered

cording 70 the opinion Of E. W. Fer

Mr.. Ferris recently said that fire
wardens had been instructed to bury
all bottles they saw in order that they
may not act as a concentrating medi-
um for the suns rays and start fires
in dry leaves and moss.

finish.
"Ritchie knows l have him licked
and he is ducking,' says Mcfarland.
Ritchie's answer is:
81 won't fight any man who refuses
to make the proper weight. That is
only fair"
The fight fans aver that at 135
pounds at 3 o'clock Mcfarland would
whip Richie in a twenty-five round
bout. He is stronger that Richie, and
his age and long ring experience have
as yet not affected his hitting abilities
and generalship.
Mcfarland lives an active outdoor
life and that is why he is constantly
in good condition.
Several managers are ready to post
large sums of money to get the match.
Jack Twin Sullivan made such a
great showing in his two recent bouts
at Buffalo with zone Round Davis
and Barney Williams of Philadelphia
that Charley Murray. matchmaker Of
the Queensberry Athletic club of that
city, has signed him up to meet Soldier
Kearns, the Brooklyn heavyweight,

Pittsburgh. who is still engaging in

a fairly good welterweight Of England,
