waiter Johnson may be dec
GRATED with the Iron Cross by
Washington fans next season, pro-
viding he does not in the mean
time give Griff the double cross.
Joe Oliver, manager of the Wig
ilants' football team, has forbidden
his band to play Its Long Way
to Tipperary'" at future games
played here this season.
Eppa Rixey, former Virginia
slabman, who drew wages from the
Phillies last season, carried off the
BOBBY prize in batting in the Ma
tional League during 1914. Out
of twenty-siX times at bat Rixey
made one hit.
When he was in college he was
rated as the best hitter on the team.
Now that we have been assured
there will be racing at Bowie next
season we can go ahead with Other
important business, such as picking
place for the Nationals to spring
train, and guessing at the amount
of money Griff will pay Walter
Johnson next summer.
Charley BrIckIey IL quoted as
saying that he would like to see
football relations with Penn re-
newed. That's nothing, Charley
Cox is also on record with the
statement that he would entertain
n proposition for Georgetown to
meet both Penn and Harvard here
in Washington next fall.
The outlook for a basketball team
at Central High this winter would be
unusually bright il the O-Streeters only
possessed a gymnasium where games
could be played.
Speaking of Central reminds US that
there is another Macdonald youth wait
ing to shed his kits and go out for the
football team. 'Cy," Mike" and Ike"
have all figured prominently in Cen
trails gridiron history the past ten
years.
No Central team would be complete
without a Macdonald.
There is a football player in the
Army team named Cofin.
Yes, and there is a wholesale liuuor
dealer in Georgetown named De kan
tor.
; The college football season is virtu- |
A rI.s
belated all-American selections; then
for bowling, billiards, chess, socker, and
Charley Murphy.
1t must be a relief to Willie Fowler. |
road secretary of the Nationals, not to |
hear the ball players daily yelp What's !
the chances for getting boucks, WHIP" |
Our idea OF nothing to do in the off |
season is to live in Cherrydale, Va,
raise chickens, and join the fire de-
partment.
Calnan. the Georgetown quarter back.
has been dubbed General" by his class
mates on the Hill. Cal" although only |
a midget in stature and weight, played !
good football this past fall.
Workmen are building an addi-
tiOn to the present cIubhouse In
ArdmOre, where boxing bouts are
held. Part of the new structure
will be of concrete. Most Of the
concrete, however, will not arrive
for n uOnth, or to be exact, when
the next fight In booked.
Ask Bud CounihGn one Of our rising young ar.
fists, If he ever heard the voice d Uncas back /
in that dear old Norwich, Conn.
