HOLY CROSS GAME OFF.
Georgetown Not to Meet That School
Here Thanksgiving.

On good authority it was learned last
evening that the foot ball game scheduled
with Holy Cross for next Thanksgiving
day has been called off by the George
town management While official an
uouncement has been made relative To
the cancellation of this game. still the re-
port comes from man in authority al
the hilltop.
The reason given for the calling off OF
this big contest is that both schools had
agreed upon a certain guarantee and
after Holy Cross and Georgetown had
both published their schedules for mex,
fall word came from Worcester that the
Holy Cross management was by no means
satisfied with the guarantee offered il

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-With the
weather becoming such that the pase
ball teams are settling down to the
steady grind, some weaknesses in the va
rious combinations are becoming maIil-
fest. Despite all that was written last
winter and this spring, depicting SO glow
ingly how Hal Chase could cover second
base in first-class style, the wizard or the
first sack has demonstrated that he can
not handle the chances at the middle sta
ton. The fact that Chase throws left
handed is barrier to his success as a
second-Sacker.
After a trial of several days Manager
Chance has determined that he must give
up the attempt to have Chase play sec
ond base and Prince Hal is to be shift
ed to the outfield as soon as Chance can
cover first base himself. This will cause
Nick echnie the former Pittsburgher, who
was secured last week from the Boston
Nationals to play the middle bag for the
Highlanders.
1T is evident that Chance has a tremen-
dous job on his hands to make a winner
out of the New Workers. Numerous shifts
are expected before he gets the right
combinatio
At Shibe Park.
When each manager of two opposing
teams is forced to use from two to
four pitchers in each of three con-
secutive games something must be
amiss Such a condition was witnessed
last week al Shibe Park.
The twirlers Of the Athletics and the
Red SoX were failures day after day.
The only thing that can account for
; this is the weather, which undoubted-
ly gave the boxmen a severe setback
after they returned from the south.
OF course, there are, nervous fans
who are inclined to believe that GER

days. The fact, though, that the
pitchers Of both teams had the same

weather gets hot and stays hot.
| If there is any weakness in the Won

put into this years championship fight
it is in the pitching department. What
| makes this look so more than anything
| else is the fact that Connie has not at
| the present time one veteran that he
