mediocre second sacker can wreck an
inheld. Hits that should be knocked
down and converted into double plays
are often let go by the inexperienced
or slow player.
1t has been stated that Lajoie is
slowing up, both in hitting and in field
ing. Still he could slow up a lot and
still outclass most of the second sack
ers now in captivity.
One thing is certain-he has not been
the same at Cleveland since the mana
gerial job was taken away from him
On at least one occasion he was re-
ported as being thoroughly disguised
with his job. It will be remembered
that there was a spell where he threat. :.
ened to quit. The deal will ease the
situation for Manager Birmingham.
Change May Help Him.
A change of scene, a renewal of mis-
youth at Philadelphia under congenial
surroundings. may prove the making of
Larry again. AS strange things have
happened in base ball.
The passing of Lajoie from Cleveland
leaves Billy Sullivan alone In his glory.
Bill jumped to the Sox back In the war
times and has remained with them ever
since. He is the last of the old stand
bys. He is monarch of all he surveys
along this line.
1t will seem strange to have Cleye-
land amble along to the park and not
feel the nervous thrill when Lajoie
comes to bat in q pinch. But he'll be
there when the Mackians come along.
His contract, which is taken over by
the Athletics, has two more years to
run. 1t calls for $1,000 season.

From Baltimore College.
FINAL COUNT IS ee TO is
Kendall Green Gets Of in Front and
Romps Away With the
Contest.

The Gallaudet College five won its
first victory Of the season last night at
Kendall Green by administering a
most crushing defeat to the Baltimore
City College quint. Score. Sc to Is.
It was a minute after the referee
blew his whistle starting the contest
that the first goal was tailed by R.
Wenger from triple pass, Classen to
Rockwell to Wenger. From the time
the first goal was tossed in tho basket
to the end of the contest 1t was seen
that the Kendall Green players would
land their first victory.
The Baltimore City College nve
showed mighty good form in passing
the ball. but Gallaudet showed such
well developed defense that it was
short shot.
Rasmussen Plays Well.
Big Six" Rasmussen was the star
OF the first period, getting eight field
goals from close shots right in under
the basket. He was replaced in the
second period by A. Wenger, who went
him one better. getting nine.
Melles went in at forward in tho Soc
ond session, and Kelley was shifted
back to defense, in place of Classen.
Melles. Kelley and Rockwell, with A.
Wenger, formed a combination that
was simply unbeatable. Their passing
and defense work was the best shown
by any team that has ever represented
Gallaudet. The summary:

SHOW BRILLIANT OFFENSE
Baltimore Five Unable to Stop Local
Quint From Scoring
Heavily.

Catholic University reopened Its bas-
ket ball schedule last night at the
Carroll Institute Hall by defeating the
Loyola quint Of Baltimore by 40 to "a.
The contest was rough. many intention
al fouls being evident, and one player
being removed for accentuating his ag-
gressiveness with his fists. Although
at times there was some clean and bril-
liant play, for the most part 1t was
rather a mediocde exhibition.
There was just one especially bright
side to the game-the splendid de-
fense of the. Catholic University quint.
The Brool1landers swept the visitors

U. to Loyola in the second period may
readily be known when 1t is cited that
twenty-five points were registered by
the former against six for the latter.
Scheurich, Quinn and Buchness of the
visiting five were the ones that were
able to cage the ball. White threw
four goals from the field in this half.
while Cartwright starred in that partic-
ular in the first period. getting six.
Two Players Do Well.
The work Of Cartwright and White of
c. U. was excellent. The former not
only played a sterling defensive game,
but he combined with it an ability to
drop the ball into the basket that was
exceptional. White seemed to be every

ecuted some difficult shots in the first
half. throwing four of the five field
goals registered by his club in this Pc
riod, while Corcoran got eight goals
from the foul lines during the game.
The passing of the Loyola players
was mediocre and their shooting, bar
ring that Of Scheurich in the first half,
was not much better. schsurich got
few chances In the second because he
was closely covered. Catholic u. really
should have scored about twice as
many points as it did, as about two out
of every four good tries were missed.
The handling of the ball by the Brook

not to be criticised.

Charlie White took a nice way to
quiet the trouble-makers. who were
anxious to bring about a split between
his manager. Nate Lewis, and himself.
by announcing as a New Year gift to
his manager an increase in his per
centage for the future. which means
considerable, in view of the fact that
the Chicago boy has matches in sight
worth $4,000 for the season. Five per
cent raise of that amount is quite a
nice gift. and Nathaniel, no doubt. ap-
preciates it thoroughly.
