BY H. C. BYRD.

Virginia seems to have one of the
While the Orange and Blue has yet to
appear against the most capable aggre-
cations its work SO far tends to indicate
that it will be well in the running for
championship honors. Reports from
Charlottesville are emphatic in declaring
the quint to be the best Virginia has
had in years, and some go so far as TO
say there is no other club strong
enough to beat it out for the South At
lantic title.
OF course Georgetown has yet to be
considered, but the absence of Wetzell
from its lineup is going to retard It's
progress considerably. With him in the
games against Virginia the Blue and
Gray would stand an even chance to
win, but unless a great deal Of improve
ment is noted in the work Of the five in
general over what 1t showed against St
Johns last night, 1t will enter the con-
tests with the Charlottesville aggregation
at a disadvantage.
The/ victory of Virginia over George
Washington by big margin practically
eliminates that school. and indicates that
CatnOllc University Is llol as Slioh5, LIZ
Brooklanders having barely beaten out
George Washington earlier in the season.
Washington and Lee and A. and NJ. are
out with what are heralded as exception
ally strong aggregations, and supporters
of each are claiming their team has an
excellent chance for the title. If George
town can recuperate from the loss of its
star it will stand an excellent chance Of
winning out over these schools which
now appear to be most strongly In the
running, but. at present. it appears that
Virginia has the best chances of any.
There are two factors about the play Of
the Virginia five which generally cause it
to appear much stronger than it really is.
1t gets a great deal more preliminary
practice than any of the other quints and
it plays in gymnasium which is long
and narrow. The latter fact is one which
gives the team a great advantage over
one not having played on the floor, and
naturally the team which has been longer
at practice than the others will have
much in its favor during the early games
AT any rate, there is every indication
of a very good season among the first
class teams, and, while Virginia appears
to be little the strongest now, it will be

for period of years. would not hesitate
to go to the Federals, but there seems
to be disposition on the part of the
new league to go bit slow in tying it
self up with this character of contract.
Furthermore, the affairs of the new
league. so far as it's circuit is concerned.
appear to be unsettled 1t is said that
there Is a movement on foot to drop
Buffalo and Toronto and take in New
York and Cincinnati. With the opening
of the season just about three months
of. it would seem almost an impossib lily
to have adequate accommodations ready
in the various cities of the proposed cir
cult. for in few instances only is any city
of the Federal LeagAe equipped with any
, sort of base ball plant not to speak of
having stands which would compete
with any in the major league circuits.
Bill Phillips, who is managing the In
dianapolis team of the Federal League
day when. he said that there were four
major league players with whom he had
been negotiating, who must sign their
contracts today, or he would call all bets
off
Garry Hermann. head of the Cincin-
natl club, is not finding it a difficult
matter to get his players under contract.
Several of his men have been mention
ed as having intentions of joining the
Federals, but every one of these has
changed his mind and signed with Herr
mann. The reason for this is said to be
that Hermann has raised salaries all
along the line, and his players will re-
ceive more money from him than the
Federal League offered.
If the Federal League mad any nten-
ton of Gripping the Washington team it
would undoubtedly have trained its guns
on Gri6ith's intield. Anticipating this,
Griffith lost no time getting the four play
ers who fill these positions under con-
tract. He had Gandil signed before the
last season was over, and he got busy
with Morgan and Foster just as soon as
he realized that there was danger of
them being tempted by the Federals
Ray Morgan proved himself stanch
and loyal, for he showed Griffith evidence
that the Federal League had offered him
tifteen-thousand-do contract for
three years. Morgan turned it down, did
not even carry on negotiations. and took
the first train to Washington to sign his
contract with the Nationals. Mcbride is
now the only one of the regular infield
not to sign. Griffith sent Mcbride con-
tract only day or SO ago. but there was
never any doubt as to where the teams
captain stood. The chances are that
Griffith will not lose single man. Milan,
Moeller and Shanks are sure to be salts
fled with the terms offered. and the other
members of the team have been so well
satisfied with the treatment accorded
them under Griffith that it would take
quite a tempting offer to cause them to
desert 1t.

work, and it was unable at any time te
get the decided advantage that was
looked for. st. Johns. although pre-
aenting much lighter aggregation. put
up a good defensive game, and at times
played very aggressively.
The play Of the St. Johns guards was
the feature of the contest These two
men. Selby and Hauver. did some mighty
fine work at times. and all during the
game they kept after their men in an
aggressive mood.
St Johns had not made such a record
during the previous part of the season
as would have caused one to think that i,
could make the showing against the Blue
and Gray that it did. 1t will be recalled
that Georgetown won from Mount st
Joseph's very easily. but Mount st. Jo-
seph's beat Washington College, which
in turn won from st. Johns. Accord ns
to these comparative scores St. Johns
was much the weaker. but it proved II
had staying and aggressive qualities
which, with some speed. were the main
factors in its play.
Just as was expected, the Catholic Uni
vers.ty got away with the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College five very easily. The
Farmers played their best. but il was not
to be expected that they could accom-
pliSh much against the Brooklanders'
seasoned men. The winning five took
the lead a few minutes after play had
started and held it easily until the end
1t is fact that the Farmers had never
even practiced before going into the
game, it being their first time on any
floor
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Farmers had not done anything in basket
ball this year pervious to last night, two
members of their team gave evidence of
more than ordinary ability. Shipley. at
guard. and Dearstyne, at forward, played
very well. Shipley's defensive work was
much above the ordinary, while Dear
styne gave evidence of some fine all
round ability.
Some of Dearstynes real ability may
be judged when it is said that he scored
10 of the II points obtained by his team.
and yet it was his first time on basket
ball floor since last season.
