George Washington Universityrs
basket ball team lost to the
University of Virginia quint last night
by big margin, the score being 43 to
Z. The Hatchetites were never In the
lead and were entirely outclassed by
the Orange and Blue, according to re-
port. Only two points were scored by
the losing five in the second half
Accurate goal tossing by the Vir-
ginians and just the opposite playing
on the part of the local five were the
reasons for the great disparity in the
two scores. The work of George
Washington's quint in the middle of
the floor was good, but clever guarding
under the ba lkets prevented much
careful work in shooting by the for
wards. Virginia's players shot accu-
rately. passed well, and generally did
much superior work.
An interfraternity basket ball leasue
will be started at George Washington to-
night when two games will be played.
The first will take place between the
sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Theta Delta
Chi chapters. while the second will be
between one Alpha Beta Phi and the

ed In the Epiphany Church gymnasium,
and will begin at o'clock. Will Handi-
Doe will referee the games.
The Army and Navy Prep School de-
feated the Friends School quint yester-
day by a score Of 46 to 80. The contest
was well played. Gerhard and King did
the best work for the winners and losers
respectively.

EBBETS TO co EASY
IN THE TINKER MATTER
Will Give Shortstop a Chance to
Sign Before Asking for an
Injunction.

NEW YORK, January 13.-President
Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn base
ball club arrived home yesterday from
his vacation in Porto Rico He came
home a week earlier than he expected.
and was somewhat surprised to learn all
that had happened in the base ball world
since he left Brooklyn December q. Mr..
Ebbets said that he would send out a con-
tract to Joe Tinker this week, together
with the contracts for the other players.
The Dodger club owner will wait to see
how the contract will be received before
he takes any action. AS far as an in
junction restraining Tinker from playing
with the Federals is concerned. Mr.. Eb-
bets stated that he would have to wait
and see if there was going to be any
Federal League before he got busy with
the Injunction.
AS soon as President Ehbets stepped
off the gangplank Of the steamer Brazos
yesterday he hurried to his offices at Eb-
bets Field. where he was in long consul
tation with the two McKeever brothers,
stockholders in the club, and after a
lengthy heart-to-heart talk he refused to
state what the conversation was about.
He did say, however. that he wasn't wor-
rying about any impending base ball war.
President Ebbets does not have to wor-
~ about whether "Chink' Yingling or
''Herbie'' Moran may jump to the Fed
eral League. because Secretary John A,
Heydler yesterday received their official
release to Cincinnati. thereby promulgat-
ing the deal. It is now expected that
Dick Egan will be turned over to the
Dodgers.
Concerning the raid of the Federals on
the Brooklyn team Mr.. Ebbets said:
The National League Is naturally going
to protect itself against invasion by the
Federals, but what steps are to be taken
am not prepared to disclose. The most
foolish thing the National League could
do now would be to show Its hand, and
there Is no use asking me what methods
we shall pursue in protecting ourselves.
II have nothing to say about the Tin
ker matter except that we shall send him
a contract this week when we send them
out to the other men. ANY legal action
in his case should be deferred, in my opin-
ion, until he actually begins to play with
the Federals. Until he does that we will
not know positively that he is not going
to return to the Brooklyn fold l wish to
say that I was not summoned to return
because Of the troubles on the base ball
horizon. I went away for a rest, End I
got it..

FEDS" HAVE MADE
OFFER TO FOSTER
Nationals Third Baseman
Says He Will Jump if He Can
Get the Money.
WANTS SALARY ASSURED
FOR THREE-YEAR PERIOD
Receives Grifith's Contract, But
Won't Sign Just Yet-Doc Ayres
Signs for Next Season.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

Eddie Foster, the Nationals crack third
baseman, has not signed his contract for
next season, nor does he give any assur-
ance that he will do so. Foster was
seen at his home at $40 5th street north
west this morning and he freely admit
ted that he had received an offer from
the Federal League. He insisted, how
ever. that 1t was not the Baltimore club
of that circuit which had communicated
with him. He admitted that If the Fed
eral League would guarantee him big
salary for a three-year period and fix it
SO that he was not apt to lose regardless
of what the outcome of the leagues stand
might be. he would not hesitate to jump.
II will be candid about that said he,
Il would jump in a minute if they would
make it worth my while. If l could get
contract such as Tinker and Knabe are
said to have obtained, would go to the
Federals and not feel that l had done
| wrong. I, like most players, am in base
ball for what there is in IT. and If can
see my way clear to get a bunch of
money for three years service will not
hesitate to sign with the F'ederals.''
While the writer was in Fosters room
registered letter from Manager Crit
fith's Office was delivered. Foster look
ed at the envelope and without opening
it tossed 10 on table, saying. Its Griff' s
contract. I won't open it. for am not in
a hurry to sign. April will be time
enough to do that"
tAre you going to see Griff?'' was
asked. 4'~
Il have seen Griff but, twice this win
ter" was the reply. IF / am up that
way I may drop in on him. though
have no reason just now for visiting
him. +s- 80
Foster talked rather reluctantly about
his dealings with the Federal League.
though he made it plain that he would
not hesitate to join the so-called out
laws if the financial end of the transac-
ton were made satisfactory to him.
When Manager Griffith was apprised
of Fosters statement he did not appear
to be in the least disturbed. He said
that he would see Foster soon and
come to some sort of an understanding
with him.
The seventh player to affix his sigma
ture to a Washington contract is Doc
Ayres, whose signed contract reached
Manager Griffith this morning. An
accompanying letter told that Ayres
Is in better physical condition this win
ter than he has been in years and that
he feels certain to be able to deliver
the goods right from the outset. He
appears to be particularly anxious to
learn when he is expected to report, as
he wants to get in the best possible
physical condition as soon as possible.
Harry Williams. the husky Texas first
baseman, who made such splendid show
ing with the Yankees asst fall, has signed
his contract for next season. Williams
was purchased from the Galveston club
and in the opinion of good judges has
the making of a splendid player.
