COLLEGE GAMES
ARE POSTPONED
Teams will Be Unable to
Open Season Tomorrow,
as Scheduled.
G. W. U. BASKET BALL MEN
ARE GIVEN THEIR LETTERS
Election Of a Captain Is Deferred
for a Few Days, But Man
ager Is Chosen.
BY II. C. BYRD.

The opening of the college base ball
season will have to be postponed for sew
eral days. The weather conditions are
such that it will be impossible to play any
Of the contests scheduled for tomorrow,
and 1t may be that those booked to take
place during the early part of next week
will have to be called off also. The squads
may consider themselves very fortunate
If they even set out to practice before
next Tuesday or Wednesday.
1t Is probable that there has never
been season previous to this when the
college teams In this section have been in
as poor condition at this time of the year.
Not within the last ten years has there
been a spring when the college nipes were
not able to take the field during the early
part Of March, generally during the first
week. but it is now past the middle of
the month and not more than two good
days have been available. In fact. not
ono really favorable day has been en-
joyed, because Monday and Tuesday OF
this week, wien the weather was all
right, the ground was not in condition
for the best kind OF work.
The result of conditions will undoubted-
~ be that the local college teams will
meet the northern agEregations when
they come south at Easter in much poorer
shape than generally has been the case.
In the past the mines of this section had
the margin on the farther north teams
because they had been able to get out
side for practice much earlier Such is
not the case now. and the visiting clubs
will have had the benefit Of much work
In the cages. which are not found here.
Two local institutions were scheduled to
open their season tomorrow. The
Georgetown University nine was booked
to play Mount st. .Josephs at George
town. while the Maryland Agricultural
College was to meet the Navy at Annap-
oils. It is probable that none of the four
teams would have been in any kind Of
! shape for the games, as all have had
practically no chance for outdoor work.
and at least two OF the four schools have
practically no facilities for indoor prac-
tice.
The basket ball players at George
Washington University have been award
ed their insignia for the past season. The
men who received tbs letters were Capt.
Noonan. Manager Nash. Alrnon. Gore.
Hurley, Murray. Shaver aud Groesbeck.
An election was held for the manager of
next years team and Thomas P. Murray
was chosen. A captain will be elected
within the next few days.
It shows spirit Of good sportsmanship
on the part Of Jay Gould to give the Eng
lish professional a chance for "a return
tennis match on English courts. There is
little doubt but that the conditions IA
vored the American somewhat in the
matches recently played in Philadelphia,
but that he is willing to go to England is
evidence that he has faith enough in his
own prowess to guarantee reasonable
prediction that he will again be the victor.

ROOM FOR FEDERALS
Sudden Change Of Heart In.
Dictated by Gov. Tener.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 2O.-Have
organized base ball and the Federal in
vaders come to an understanding?
Two developments within the past week
would seem to indicate that such is the
case. And further partial confederation
can be found in the refusal Of Federal
League masnates either to affidm or deny
the report and the suddeng change of
heart that has come over Gov. John X.
Tener. president Of the National League.
Always since his election to the presi-
d&ncy Of the National League an avowed
opponent OF the baby league. President
Tener on numerous occasions has not
only ridiculed the organization, but has
declared that there was no demand from
the fans for third league. He has said
publicly innumerable times that the Fed
listed only on paper, and that 1t would
not last out the present year.
Changes His View.
For some inexplicalle reason Gov, Te-
ner has suddenly altered his opinion, as
Is shown by his talk with Charles A.
Hendrickson. a local city official and state
treasurer Of the Order of Independent
Americans, who, while in Harrisburg,
held a long conversation with the head
Of the National League.
Gov. Tener is brother member Of the
Independent Americans II can see nc
reason why the Federal League should
not live" said Gov. Tener. There is
room fer a third league, and 1 can't see
why they should. not get along. Take
Pittsburgh. for instance. There is plenty
Of room in that city for two clubs.
1.-The fans there will support two teams.
and there Is no reason why the Federal
League club should not prosper. Although
than that Of Pittsburgh. the number of
base ball fans does not exceed Pittsburgh
to such an extent that the latter city
cannot support two teams as we'll as
Philadelphia. It is the same in the other
cities where the teams will be forced
to compete. There will be plenty of
patronage for ALL
1.-THE National League, I think. is well
able to care for itself, and we intend to
do so. And l have no doubt but what
the Federals will be able to take care of
their interests"
Smiles, But Says Nothing.
When asked if there had been any
understanding reached between organized
base ball and the Federal invaders, Gov.
Tener smiled, but said nothing. Neither
would he discuss the KAlifer case.
f, Another development which lends
strength to the peace report Is the fact
that President Gilmore of the Federal
League has within the past three days
not onl yannounced publicly that no more
raids would be made on organized base
| ball. but has instructed all clubs in the
| baby circuit to that effect This fact was
admitted by high of'icial of the local
Federals today. AL of which strength
ems the belief that there is something
Of importance brewing In the base ball
! world.

a return match with Gould in England


in the spring Of 1915.
1T was understood thoroughly that We
would receive a return match to be played
in England in the event of him losing to
Mr.. Could" said the English visitor. and
will arrange the same to be played next
spring.
Mr.. Gould played a wonderful game. a
wonderful game, quite unbeatable, to my
way Of thinking at this particular time,
but when you consider that he was
favored by q home court and American
balls he certainly had Convey playing un-
der a strong handicap.
"Covey, a perfect stranger to America.
was quite unused to the balls and was
not here a sufficient length Of time to
familiarize himself thoroughly with the
court. and this was q drawback he could
not overcome, no matter how hard he
worked.
Therefore l am quite sure that when
Convey meets Gould in q return match
next year there will be a much different
story to tell. The advantage then will be
with us, and know that Convey will do
much better

The beginning of the greatest series of
bowling games of the year will take place
in Brockton. Mass, tonight, between a
picked team of Washington and the Bijou
No. quint, the champion of that section.
A dispatch from Brockton states that
everything is in readiness for the match,
and that there is more interest attached
to the affair than to any previous event
Of the kind.
It seems that the people in the New
England states are confident their team
will win out. They do not appear to have
the least idea Of defeat and every indi-
cation points to the fact that they do not
have very high opinion Of the prowess
of the Washington aggregation. They
claim that conditions here are better for
high scores than they are in Brockton.
and yet the Brockton team has made bet
ter records. OF course, the real caliber Of
the teams will be noted when. the two
quints actually face each other. 1t is
likely. though, as far as conditions are
concerned, that the Brockton team will be
favored on its home alleys and the Wash
ington quint will have the advantage
when it rolls on its home alleys No one
would dare predict the outcome of the
matches. because nothing is known of the
real ability of the team to be met.

SECRET TO
DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Bring back color, gloss and thickness
with Grandma's recipe of Sage
and Sulphur.

Common garden sage brewed into .
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get the ready -to-use tonic, costing
about SO cents large bottle, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus avoiding .
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it 50 naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; BY
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear Year,
younger.
