Virginia's basketball team rang up
another victory tonight, defeating
Gallnudet b5 to 8. The visitors dis
played n good passing game. keeping
on the jump throughout the battle, but
lacked power to compete with Vir-
ginias big men. Their shooting, how
ever. was rather poor, Wengen alone
being able to locate the basket At
the start of the game 1t looked as
though the District team would never
score. and 1t was not until after tho
locals had rung up eighteen points.
did Rockwell toss basket. Virginia
made twenty points In the second
period before Wengen Gagged the bnll.
Nichols was the star of tho contest,
though he was closely pressed by Wal
ton Rixey. whose shooting was SEN
sation at times. Stickley was suf-
fering from severe cold and was far
from his usual form. Tho debut of

BASEBALL HOPES

Outlook Is Exceedingly Bright

Tentative Schedule of

The baseball outlook at John Mar
shall for the season OF 1914 is excep-
tionally bright. With eight of last

shallitcs should be able to give the
heretofore invincible McGuire's team
a battle royal for the championship Of

As yet tho high school management
has not secured a coach. but II Is high
ly probable that D. Z. Woodson. last

OF the nine. Coach woodson played
great ball for Virginia n few years
back. and is very capable coach.
His work during the time he had the
team under his direction was entirely
81 satisfactory to the management at tho
high school, and 1t more than likely
that he will be given the call over the
other applicants.

Sporting Gossip OF the Day
SAYS BATES HIS BETTER
MAN THAN SHEPARD WAS.

Followers of Bates College athletics
say that Coach Lathrop has unearthed
better man than Shepard was in the
shot putting game. The find" is A. r.
Cobb. commonly known as "Ty" Cobb,
the same who was a contender for All
Maine honors in football last fall.
Ray Shepard, who holds the Maine
College record, did Al feet II inches for
a Bates record. His State record is
slightly less than that. Shepard's av-
erage put was about 10 feet although
he had days when he did much more
than this. He seldom did less when
going good"
1t is said that the new man, Cobb,
is doing 40 feet every day and only
yesterday did 40 feet, inches. Coach
Lathrop is said to have made the state
ment that Cobb will be better in a
year from now than Shepard was at
his best.
Cobb is larger than Shepard, is tall
er by several inches and weighs 16
pounds more. Shepard weighs 204,
Cobb weighs 220 although after hard
football game he has been known to
weigh as little as 213 pounds.

BOXING NOTES.

Abe, the newsboy, is keeping up his
good record as a boxer in the Panama
Canal district. The other night Abe
went through twenty hard rounds with
Eddie Ryan for the welterweight
championship of the Isthmus and the
bout was declared a draw. A clipping
of the account of the battle from one
OF the newspapers in that section says
that the fans thought that Abe should
have received the verdict, as he did
all the leading and landed three times
to Ryan's once, but the referee pointed
out that every time that Eddie landed
it counted for four of Abe's wild
swings.
The New York State Athletic Com
mission at its meeting Tuesday at New
York issued a request to 'all sporting
editors to refuse to print any inform
alton regarding boxing exhibitions re-
ceived over the telephone or by tele-
graph from any one except their ac-
credited representatives or corre-
spondents." The commission explain
ed that much incorrect sporting news
would be kept out of the papers by
adhering to this caution.

Shafer Says He
Is Out OF Baseball.

Arthur Shafer, the Giant infielder,
has notified the New York club that
he will not play baseball any more.
Just as soon as Manager MeGraw got
word on Saturday night that Shafer
had decided to quit, he decided to hur-
ry at once to Marlin, Texas. where he
will have the difficult task of rebuild
ing the left wing of the Giant infield.
Shafer is in Los Angeles and has
decided to go into business with his
father. Shafer has always been tenn
peramertal sort of a player and the
New York club at times had TO give IN
to his whims. He is naturally a ILL
full, graceful ball player, hut he would
net take the game seriously. Manager
MeGraw has often said that II Shafer
had to play ball as livelihood ana
not as a recreation, he would develop
into one Of the best players OF the
game.
Shsfer made name for himself at
ST. Mary's College in California and in
1909 McGraw signed him as 'reokie"
at the recommendation of Fred Snod-
grass, who played on the same team
with him on the coast. Shafer was
only IS years old at the time, and dur
ing the season of 1909 and 1910 he sat
ON the bench most of the time. He
tired Of bench warming and in 1911 re-
fused to report to the Giants. He went
TO japan, where he spent the season
coaching a college team.
After much coaxing he reloined the
Giants in 1912 and played good ban as
a utility infielder. Last season he
played both the infield and outfield for
a time and supplanted Herzog at third
base.
Last year. the club had hard time
signing Shafer but finally got him to
nut his signature to a three-year con-
tract. This has two years to run, and
IT Is not known whether the club will
take any measures to force the player
to live I'D to his contract. Both Pres
iden, Hempstead and Secretary Foster
are out of the city.
With the trading of Herzcg and the
quitting of Shafer, the Giant inield
has received a hard blow Manager
McGraw, however. believes that ne can
fill UP the gap with Eddie Grant OF
Milton Stock. The latter payer mas
had Il tryout with the Giants BEFORE
and has since been IN the Internation-
al League. While Stock lacks eXpe-
r;ence. he has made rapid strides as
ball player.
In retiring from baseball, Shafer Is
foJlowing the wishes of his father IN
Los Angeles, who never approved OF
his son playing professional hah.
Shafer received considerable sum or
money on the death of his mother some
time ago. He also owns much real es-
tate in Los Angeles.

Easiness of the telegraph code has
sometimes facilitated evil practices.
Charles Galbraith, formerly chief sup
erintendent of telegraph at Bombay.
described one notable case. Messages
used to be brought by mail steamer
fren Suez to Point de Gale and tele-
graphed thence overland TO Bombay.
Native operators found it profitable.
especially during the cotton famine. to
communicate the tenor of dispatches
to outside confederates. At first the
method employed was to write copy
of the telegram, roll it up tightly and
drop 1t out of the window. But this
was soon detected and stopped. Then
the operator would lean his head on
his hand as il musing and drum with
his fingers. Knowledge of the Morse
code by the man outside did the rest
