placed Lajoie at second, at the time, but
Stailings' judgment was vindicated when
within a year Lajoie was recognized az
the greatest second baseman the game
has ever produced.
Up to the time that the Cubs hooked
up with the Pirates last week there
We're those who believed that the O'Day
forces might slip in and win the Ma
tional League pennant while the Braves
and Giants We're fighting each other.
But the Pirates took a double-header
from the Cubs and virtually put them
out of the running.
The Pittsburgh team Is coming with a
rush. and it is perhaps fortunate for
both Braves and Giants the Pirates are
not up higher in the race at this stage,
or they might still be dangerous con-
tender Pittsburgh is now playing the
kind of ball that was expected of 1t
early in the campaign, and as a result
is boiling forward in the race with enor-
nous strides.
There is no more remarkable develop
ment of a ball player brought about by
a change of positions than Cozy Dolan
of the st. Louis Cardinals illustra tes
the New York Americans, the Phillies
and Pittsburgh, three major league
teams with which he had trials. ST.
Louis obtained him in the deal with
Pittsburgh. and Manager Higgins used
him in the outfield. The change worked
wonders, for no sooner had Dolan Joined

II the Braves land the nag and are
not forced to the limit they are very
apt to prove a most formidable oppo-
nent for the Athletics in the world series.
for Stallings has three pitchers, who.
when given proper rest, are apt to be
decidedly troublesome even to hard
hitting team like the Mackmen.
New York critics are bowling that the
fans are not standing by the Giants. A
plea for the support of patrons of the
game is made by these critics and one
of them says that only Tin horn sports
and gamblers are pulling against the Nc
Graw men.
But the fact of the matter is that the
base ball public is naturally with the
Braves in the present struggle because
of the remarkable feat the Stallings team
has accomplished coming from last tG
first place in six weeks. Furthermore
those interested in the future of base bal
want to see new contender in the
worlds series. That a team is affected II
it does not have its patrons root for 1t is
of course, generally recognized. but it Is
a safe prediction that a majority Of the
patrons of the sport in New York are
for the Giants and only small per.
centage is roofing against them.
George Stallings, who by reason of the
success of the Braves is being giver
credit. which he deserved before he wa:
in charge of the Braves. so far as abilit.
to manage is concerned. was perhaps re
sponsibie for making Larry Lajeie
second baseman. Stallings managed tn
Phil!ies during the early career of La
joie as a member of that team. and II
was he who saw a coming star at SECOND

The National Guard Athletic Associa-
ton and the Carroll Institute are plan
ming for strenuous seasons in baske,
ball and track athletics. The authori'
ties of both organizations have beer
making arrangements for some time tc
begin work upon the development of theil
squads and prepare for the sue
cessful carrying out of plans for widen
ing the scope of their activities.
Maj Edwards. head of the National
Guard association, says Of his organiza-
ton:
eff we do not have the greatest year
in asS.letics that the guard has ever ex-
perienced. then something not now fore
seen will happen to prevent 1t. We Will
not only have basket ball quinr in the
City League, but We are going to form
a league Of our own. Right now we are
making arrangements to organize a MILL
tary circuit, which will be composed OF
teams from the National Guard and sew
eral Of the military posts around WASH
ington. Monthly track meets are sched-
uled ana che armory will be open as
training quarters regularly special
effort Is to be made to boost track ana
field sports. and no stone will be left
unturned in our efforts to revive interest
in that branch of athletics. Besides our
regular monthly meets series OF IN
terclub contests will be booked with the
Y. NJ. C. A., Memorial Athletic Club and
probably the Carroll Institute"
Prof. Maurice Joyce will be able to
devote almost his entire time to the de-
velopment of athletics at the Carroll In
stitute The work he began last year Of
putting Carroll back on the map as a
real athletic organization is to be con-
tinued with renewed energy. One of the
best basket ball quints that has ever rep
resented the institution is promised, and
the track team will get especial attention.
Prof. Joyce turned out some good track
athletes at Carroll last year. and 1t Is
known that even more capable men VIII
be in uniform when the season opens this
fall
And not only win the National Guard
and Carroll Institute strive especially to
boom athletics this winter. but it is prob
able that the Y. NJ. C. A. and Memorial
Athletic Club will do their utmost TO
prove themselves of sufficient strength to
win recognition from the parent A. A. Z.
body for self government. According to
statements from those in charge of the
various organizations which support ath-
letics, this is almost certain to be the
best year that sport generally has known
In Washington for long time.
Harry Semmes, the Washington boy
who won fourth place in the Junior and
senior A. A. U. championship pole vault
last Friday and Saturday In Baltimore,
was hardly gwen as much credit as he
deserved for his work in the senior event.
Semmes was tied with Marc Wright. the
old Dartmouth man, and now world S
champion. for third place at IL feet 6
inches. On the jump-off Wright won by
a margin of an inch, which. of course.
gave him third place and Semmes fourth.
Semmes is a graduate of Dartmouth
and a former Western High boy. He did

les at the high school, but took up pole

On the two balls that Connolly kept

preparing for his delivery. The leather

ter the umpire took a piece from his
glove, all Connolly knew was that he
had two scraped base balls

Three college foot ball games will be

conflicts to come. The Carlisle Indians
are scheduled to play Albright at Car

the Indians will win easily. as has been
the case in nearly all their early games

games to be played in Washington.
Georgetown is to meet Fordham Uni
versity and the Maryland Aggies are
scheduled to play the Baltimore City
College. II Fordham has as strong
combination Of players as has been re-
ported. Its meeting with Georgetown
Is liable to be almost a championship
affair. The Aggies, despite probable
weakness at that early stage because
of the necessity of breaking in an en-
tirely new eleven, should win from the
Baltimore school by a fair margin.
The vigilant Athletic Club will again
be in the field, being scheduled to play
semi-professional foot ball at the old
Union League Park. Manager Oliverf
has obtained the services of some of
the most capable of the players who
have been representing the various
clubs. and also has more than one for
mer college and scholastic star.
There Is a report current that there
has ben a split in the forces of the
Vigilants. and that several of the men
will organize a new eleven to repre-
sent the Eastern Athletic Club. the or
the amateur base ball championship
last season. If this is true a zest will
be added to the independent contests
they have not had before.
Two new players reported at George
town Saturday, one of them being
Conwell, formerly Of the Hillman Acad-
envy, and the other McKenna. who was
out for the base ball team last spring.
Both are 1inemen, and at least one,
Conwell, tips the scales at more than
200 pounds.
According to present Indications, the
line at Georgetown this fall will aver
age pretty close to 200 pounds. There
are rev men COuHteu OH u Ikhf1hG 6Oo0
who are below that figure. Petritz of
the 1913 eleven is the only one who
is rated as tipping the scales at any
thing less than 100. nearly al the new
material being very heavy. Conwell,
CcCarthy, Ward and Gormley, four
