made any special preparation for the

better work tomorrow than at either
previous game, Notwithstanding that
the present eleven is not as strong as
that of a year ago
There has been entirely too much of
the spirit of What do we care" after
the close of the series with the state
college teams. The Farmers have won
the state title for two. consecutive
years now, and at the end of each
series the team has gone back some
what; last year considerably and this
year slightly. In order to overcome
this there are likely to be some decid ii
changes in the schedule for 1915. There
institutions in the north that have a
desire to take on the Farmers, and it is
possible that one or two contests will
be arranged with them to take the
place of some of those that have been
on the list for some years.
Georgetown and Gallaudet are meet
ing this afternoon in contest that
ought to be easy for the Hilltoppers.
While the Kendall Green eleven has
some players IN Its lineup VINO are
very clever, it is more than likely their
forwards will be smothered before the
plays get well under way. Georgetown
has a set of linemen who far outclas SIS
those of Gallaudet, and if the running
plays of the Kendall Greeners are
stopped they will have little chance to
gain ground, as they are not sue
cessful forward pa aSsing team.
AS has already been said. Gallaudet
has a chance to make a very credita BILE
showing If the Hilltoppers are stale
from their grueling battle with Wash
ington and Jefferson and overconfident
because of their fine showing. That
cont mbination has worked the undoing
of more than one foot ball team, and
Georgetown wants to watch closely
that it does not suffer for those rea-
sons.
There is much interest being shown
here in the contest between North Car
olina and the University of Virginia
at Richmond. The game Is one Of all
Importance to both institutions, not
only because of their great rivalry, but
for the reason that the championship
of the south probably is at stake.
1t seems hard for Carolina that it
should have it's best chance and pos
sible the strongest eleven that has
ever represented it, only to be COM
PEELED to go against the most power
full aggregation Virginia has had in
number of years, and one that is
pretty nearly as strong as any it has
ever turned out.

1t would, of course. be so arranged
that six victories would decide the win
ners, and Incidentally the chances are
that the players would share in the re-
ceipts of that number of games.
The new system of deciding the world
championship would be much more sat
isfactory than the old for the reason
that the element of luck would not cut
as great a figure in SO long a series OF
games. 1t would give a better line on
the contesting teams and make it pos
sible for club which got a poor
start to come from behind and make a
successful finish.
There are many features of the new
proposition which will appeal to the
base ball public, and the players too,
viii have no kick coming, for, while
the prices will be reduced. the players
will fare even better than formerly, for
the reason that they will share in per-
haps two more games than they have
to date.
If at some future time peace is de-
clared in base ball it will be with the
understanding that all those players
who have violated their contracts shall
be barred from the major leagues for
the remainder of their careers
That is the position that organized
will mete out the proper punishment to
those players who have injured the
game. without having any reason to
complain. Unless organized base ball
takes that stand. it will only be a
question of time when some other pro-
moters will launch a new league, and
the players will not hesitate to do their
jumping if the precedent has been es-
tablished that they were returned to
the fold on a former occasion when
they jumped their contracts during a
war.
Whether the old contracts were legal
is of no consequence, for there was a
moral obligation which bound the play
er. The players prospered under the
rules of organized base ball. as well as
the game. and any player who would
jeopardiZe the game by jumping is not
] ft to be employed by 1t in any capacity
Few obstacles will be thrown in the
| way of the Feds in their efforts to cor
raj players from organized base ball
Players who will take that step are not

Georgetown will lose few men off the
foot ball squad of this year by grad
u'tion. In fact, what is likely to be
the best nucleus the Blue and GRAY
''as ever had around which to build
au eleven at the start of a season is
pretty sure to be on hand next fall
when the first call for practice is
given. Only three regulars of the 1914
eleven will be lost-Foley, Petritz and
Capt. Murray.
1t is none to the discredit of any
of the three mentioned to say that
a whole lot stronger than the one
that represents the Hilltoppers tl.is

lieve other than that Georgetown will
have one of the greatest combinations
in its history and that the record made
will be brilliant. Barron, Gormley,
Nahum, Corcoran, PauXtis, Cusack,
Conway. Cronin. Mccarthy, Ward,
Wieser, Mckenna, Noark and Fitz-
gerald are some of those who will
return next fall. and there is not
a single man mentioned who is not al

With another year, with the new ma

Whether Catholic University wins it's

the success that has attended the eff

though few games have been won. The

high class, though at others it has
failed to reach the desired standard.

crash comes few of the men of wealth
who have backed the proposition viii
find severe crimp put in their bank
rolls.
The player who made financial sac
riice in order to live up to his obIi-
cations with organized base ball. and
there are many such. is deserving of a
lot of consideration when the time
for peace comes to base ball He sure
ly deserves better treatment than the
player who jumped and endangered the
future Of the game. The loyal PLAYER
must be rewarded when the proper
time comes, as the jumper should be
punished.
Whether the Feds will be able to
strengthen what is now little more
than minor league circuit is decided
ly doubtful. Last year before the fail
ure of the venture had been proved it
might have been possible to go into
almost any city and interest capital.
Then the impression was prevalent
that there were large profits in base ball
and many would have been willing to
take a chance. but it is different now.
If Jim Gilmore goes into II town these
days to interest capital in his league
1t will be but natural for the investor
to take look at the league books
to get q line on what business it ha g
been doing. These books are sure to
show a deficit in every city, and that
is not the sort of encoura cement a
prospective investor will feel jubilant
about.
There is not much time left for Jim
Gilmore to make good the boast that
he would deal organized base ball four
staggering blows within thirty days
from the time of the Fed meeting in
New York. The time is up in a very

Not having any fixed plan of pro-

The. putter, other than say put

ball so close to the ground that
too much of an uncertainty re-

the shot.
With the midiron the ball is
picked up clear of the ground

certainty than with the mashie.
To me the short run-up with the

i being gotten by individuals and more
than one five showed a pace much be-

, The best set obtained by a tean was
that of the Gandils, in the Arcade
League. Chicks" squad took two out
of three from the y. NJ. c. A, and in
so doing got Il total of 1,6I7 pins. Two
games of $40 and 571 We're rolled. and
the third counted for 527. Goodman
and Baum led the players, the former
with set of $40. for which he obtained
marks of 1872. 103 and ia: the latter.
with scores of 10, 119 and 1T, giving
him total of 346.
Navy Yard Rolls Well.
The Navy Yard team. in the Depart

score made in any one contest by the

marks by any OF the players in this
league, remarkably well balanced
score sheet for all accounting for the
high marks.
Howser and Michaud led the Bel

risonS in one of the matches in the
District circuit, their team winning
every game. Howser's scores were III,
1913 and III, for a total of 355. Michaud

The Resolutes got one game Of 551.
Climbers Lose Three.
The Climbers lost three games to the
Brunswicks, and the Nationals dropped
two to the Casinos in the National Cap

games of 131, 102 and 105, was high
man in the first match, while Boss did

Casinos victory, as he totaled a set of

scores of Ill. 106 and III.
Besides the scores mentioned, the re-

statement that there has been no even

standard of bowling has been as high
