HARRISON PICTURES
ATTRACT ATTENTION
American Oil Painters Work
Receives Favorable CON-
men at Art Gallery.

An unusually large attendance was in
evidence at the Corcoran Gallery of Art
early this afternoon, attracted by the
opening Of the special exhibit Of paint
ings by Alexander and Birge Harrison.
the eminent American oil painters.
The canvases, which, as a collection,
were on view for the first time. before
Washington artists and art lovers, elicit
cd considerable admiration and favor
able comment.
Inviting especial attention as COM
nanding representations Of Alexander
Harrison's work were the three imposing
canvases, In Arcadia" Solitude and
Twilight"
Twilight" is owned by the Corcoran
Gallery. and Is entered in this special
exhibit with the other collections loaned
by many of the leading galleries Of this
country In Arcadia" and Solitude
We're loaned by the Musee du Luxem-
bourg. Paris.
Arcadia" depicts the nude figures of
women in a garden. The abandon of
Elysium is emphasized in the gorgeous
ness Of an autumnal color scheme touch
ed with the rays of an invisible sun. The
freshness Of luxuriant landscape
strikes the observer WIN sense Oh
pleasant reality.
In pronounced contrast to certain
sense Of "joie de vivre" suggested ny the
one Luxembourg Offering. the painting
depicting Solitude" carries with II an
impression Of the varied feelings Of the
iraster. Solitude" suggests all the ap-
peal uC lost soul.
IL Is in a sense. Dante-esque, with
apologies for the creation Of the analogy.
A languid pool, enshrouded in night,
with the figure Of woman in a frail
boat standing out in relief against "A
heavily wooded background on the shore,
is striking in it's appeal.
The collection of the thirty four paint
ings CT Alexander Harrison and four
teen OF Birge Harrison will be sent to
the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts
after the local exhibit. Twilight the
Cor;oran picture. will be loaned in the
collection.

ISSUES Def FOR
ENTIRE CIRCUIT

GULFPORT, Miss, March g.
Ralph Comstock, Tiger splitter,
hereby challenges the big
leaguers at billiards. The Tigers
O. have often had billiard sharks,
but never any who took the
game very seriously. Comstock,
however, is in deadly earnest
about the cue game and wants
to match his prowess against
that of any big Lacquer in base
ball today.
Comstock has a couple of cups
that he won in billiard tourna-
ments in Ohio. He is like most
of the professionals. except that
he is willing TO damage his
form by entering into friendly
games of pocket billiards, as
the real revotees of pool call the
game now.

Clark Griffith's contention is that
boost is better than a knock and men
car be led better than they can be
driven. When II comes to laying down
the law, either about actual playing or
observing the training rules, there is
no one who has anything on the canny
chieftain of the Nationals. But his poll
cies have led him to be respected, and
in most cases greatly admired. by the
development of harmony in the ranks.
and has Indirectly led to much Of the
fisht ng spirit Of the team which has
already. been referred to.
Griffith is absolute boss. While oc-
oasionally some individual has tried to
butt In, the manager has not tolerated
any such methods. no matter from
whom they might come. He is ever
ready to accept and discuss suggestions
from those whose Judgment he appre-
ciates, but when 1t comes to making the
decision he II the chief Justice. associ-
In the matter Of those who have as
sisted in placing him In his present
rather exalted position among baseball
managers. Griffith has always been mind
ful Of those who have assisted him in
considered graveyard for baseball
managers, still Griffith has perhaps as
many friends in that city as he has in
Washington. and has only the kindliest
of feelings for Garry Hermann, owner
of the club who was forced. through a
combination Of circumstances, brought
about through efforts of outsiders to
run the team. Even among the Gin
cinnati players Griffith has remained
popular. and there is more than one
there just now, to the personal knowl-
edge Of the writer, who would gladly
swap his place for position under his
former boss.
The treatment accorded Tom Hughes
Is another indication Of this feeling. 1t
cost the Washington people Just s2,5O0
to let Hughes choose his own team for
he could have been sold to Minneapolis
for that price instead Of being allowed
to 60 free to Los Angeles, where he was
able to get a decided advance in salary,
over the original offer. because the CAL

WITHHOLD CUPS FROM
WINNERS; STARS FAIL
TO. RUN AS PREDICTED
Caldwell, Meredith and Madeira, Brilliant Track Performers
Appear Only in Relay Events-AthIetes Dispense With
Numbers, Boherng Enthusiastic Crowd.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Several sets of individual silver cups
are being held by the Georgetown Uni
versity management today for winners
in relay races at the annual indoor meet
held at Convention Hall last night pend
ing investigation by the Amateur Ath-
latic Union. it is understood, owing to
alleged Misrepresentation of entrants as
10 age and weight.
The classification Of junior relay
events was made on a seventeen-year-
old basis and a l20-pound limit, and
competing teams in instances are said
to have made false entries.
At the same time the astute athletic
urIoH officials are in no way concerned
apT arently. with the failure of the
metrcpol tan and intercollegiate cracks
TO compete in the various events for
which they were billed.
The rather fast and loose methods of
handling star athletes has been over
looked in the effort to make few
youngsters come to time, and in the
opinion of many of those who paid good
money to see the Olympic stars, Ted
Meredith and d. S. Caldwell, in the open
events, along with Louis MADEIRA, the
union should be rather prompt and eff
ent in making these stars come to
time.
There was no dearth OF talent IN the
many events. Such front-rank runners
as Donald Lippincott, Patterson. Of
Penn: Wagner, Johns Hopkins: 'Nub-
b." Jones. of Georgetown; Bob Eller,
former Blue and Gray hurdler; Gordon
Dukes. former Olympic polevaulter;
Johnny Gallagher, Potter. the former
Naie hurdler: Eddie Horter, Louis Con-
nor, former Penn star miller. and Harb!-
son. the Yale shot putter, were on tap.
but the two champions failed same in
relays.
After "Untz' Brewer, a schoolboy.
had shown UP the intercollegiate cham.
pion in the open fifty. and Nubby'
Jones had again trimmed the big guns

crowd settled back in anticipation of
watching George Orton's widely adver-
tised distance cracks and Jack Moak-
