PITTSBURGH. November 25.-Twen-
ty-five boys and girls, University OF
Pittsburgh students, today stood at the
approaches to Forbes Field and tagged

Harry Shot, star tackle on the Pitt
team, who for eight months has been
confined to a hospital as the result of
an accident on the foot ball field. They
hoped to raise $1,000.

liant player during the seasons of 1913
IA, but toward the end of last year
suffered an injury to his knee. Later
he was compelled to enter the hospital
where he has since been under treat
ment. Recently paralysis set in,. and

CRICKET DEFEATS BASE BALL
New South Wales Will Have Sum.
mer Game in One League.

SYDNEY Australia, November 25.-
The trial of strength between the New
South Wales Base Ball Association and
the National Base Ball League of New
South Wales has ended in half and
half victory for each organization. The
association had controlled base ball in
New South Wales and had confined its
activities to games in the winter. The
league depended upon the popularity of
summer base ball, and had gradually
become the rival of the association.
A few weeks ago the association found
itself forced to try to provide summer
games for it's members. many Of whom
were cricketers as well as base ball
players
The opening of the summer base ball
season today found the association
without a team. The league has
twenty-four clubs. This proved ap..
parently that among the members or
the association there was not the de-
mand for summer base ball that many
followers of the American sport had
expected and that cricketers would pre-
fer to play the old game. The associa-
ton has now decided to drop the idea
Of summer games altogether.

MANAGER GRIFFITH. AIMS

Chance for Boehling to Be

By J. ED GR111o.

The annual meeting of the American
League will be held in Chicago, De-
cember Is. For the first time in many
years the annaual powwow Of the
johnson circuit club owners is not go
ing to take place in New York.
Manager Clark Griffith received Off
cial announcement of the date of the
meeting this morning and he intends
to leave several days prior to the date
set SO as to get some deals under way.
If did not get there until the day
Of the meeting, / would be unable to
accomplish anything" said Griffith in
speaking of his Intentions.
L expect to swing deal or two dur
ing the gathering in Chicago and /
want to be on the scene before the ses-
slons start so that 1 can talk to those
whom expect to deal with. You can't
do that during or after the meeting, for
everybody will make a rush for home
when the meeting has ended 1 hope
that will be able. to make the deals
l figured on. 1 don't want to mention
the players 1 want to get or those |
want to get rid of. because that prob
ably would interfere with my plans
But am confident that when the meet
ing is over 1 will have some playing
material added which will be Of bene
fit to the Nationals"
One of the players that Griffith is par.
ticularly anxious to drop from his list
is Joe Boehling. Despite the fact tina,
this young man may pitch good ball for
some other team, his days with the Ma.
tionals are ended
There were three occasions last sea
son when Manager Griffith had per.
( sonal evidence of Boehling's misbe.
havior. and on these three occasions
Boehling was heavily fined for violating
the training rules. There no doubt were
many other occasions when Boehlina
left the straight and narrow path OF

BY n. c. BYRD.

Catholic University, Georgetown and
George Washington have started their
basket ball practice. Indications are
that a successful year is in store for
teams representing each of these in
stitutions. as the first calls of candi-
dates have brought up competent
players.
Up at Georgetown several good men
have yet to report, as their time is
being taken up as members of the foot
ball squad. Immediately after the holi-
days, though, the full quota will be
on the floor for the regular opening
of the schedule next month. Capt.
Donnelly and Coach O'Reilly have been
working hard to get line on the men
available.
George Washington's team is cap,
tanned by Harry Almon, star FORWARD
of last year. Almon was one OF the
most brilliant players in the south and
his work stood out in every contest IN
which he took part. He was spien.
di scoring factor, counting about
three-fourths of his teams points. The
team is to be coached by Prof. Dough-
erty of the College of Engineering ana
he is to be assisted by Prof. McNemar
of the department of political science
The Hatchetites are to play all their
home games in the Y. NJ. {. A. gym
nasium which should increase the at
% tendance because of its proximity to
the College of Arts and Sciences.
Catholic UniverSity'S quiut Will again
be under the direction of Fred Rice,
which is pretty near enough to insure
it success. Rice is one of the best
basket ball coaches in the east and
his teams at Catholic University have
been consistently successful The
Brooklanders, though they had a good
season q year ago. are expecting even
better things because the material is
said to possess great possibilities.
Whatever there is the followers of the
Brookland institution may rest as
sured that Rice will get the most out
of it,
This has been hard year on the cap
tans of some of the foot ball teams.
Up at Pennsylvania Harris, one of the
tackles. has had a hard time hanging
on to his regular position, and in many
games has given way to another man.

LOCAL COLLEGE BASKET BALL
7 SQUADS GET FIRST PRACTICE
Prospects Good for Fast Quints at George
town, George Washington and C. y.
Gridiron Captains Hard Pressed.

1t begins to look if Miles, captain
of the Naval Academy eleven. will not
start against the Army Saturday, Craig
appearing to have him beat out for the
position at quarterback. Over at Johns
Hopkins the leader of that eleven.
Arthur Primrose. has been compelled
to give way at center in favor of Or
mond. former Princeton player.
1t is certain that Catholic University
will not have very easy time win
ming from Gallaudet, although it is the
natural favorite to get the victory.
Last year Gallaudet fought the Brook
landers to a 0-to-O score, with practi-
then c. L. was not the splendidly
coached eleven it is now, and did not
possess the knowledge of foot ball it
has this season. Both teams are
Kendall Greeners will considerably
outweigh that of Catholic University.
The Maryland Aggies are in better
shape for their game with Johns Hop
kins than for any contest in which
they have taken part this year. The
players are in splendid condition physi-
cally, there not being single ailment
;r the whole squad of twenty-three.
Had not Capt. Hindman been injured
in the game with Catholic University
the Aggies would have had the dis
tinction of going through their season
without a single man being put out
of game because of an injury.
incidentally, there is one remarkable
thing about the NJ. A. c. squad. Out
of the twenty-five men who comprise
the varsity squad not one ever smokes
and none has ever used tobacco in any
form.
Georgetown ought to win from St. Louis
University by big score. The Blue and
Gray has a much better eleven. according
to the work done SO far this season. and
the general play of the Hilltoppers has
been much superior. Georgetown's team
is heavier and more experienced, and
probably a whole lot better coached.
This probably will be Fred Nielsen's
last year as a coach. The Nebraska man
took up the work at Catholic University
during this season more as a personal
favor to certain persons and to help the
school place the game on a sound basis
than from any personal benefits he ex-
pected to derive from his coaching.

There is. perhaps, no reason to doubt
that the Feds are going to break into
New York, but 1t is not a one e-day Job
to accomplish this, and the chances are
1t will be some time before matters
will be so shaped that an official an
nouncement is warranted.
Arranging for an outlay of something
like. million dollars requires time and
hard work, for it is essential that such
a sum be obtained before 1t is spent,
and it does not grow OH trees.
The longer the selection of a train
ing grounds for the Nationals is de-
layed the stronger grows the impress
another chance with Charlottesville.
Despite the fact that every member of
the Washington team will resent the
announcement that the Virginia town
is again to be visited in the spring.
this will not influence Griffith in his
selection. .-.
Having encountered miserable wealth
er at Charlottesville for the past three
springs. it is perhaps figured that the
time has come for a better break in

unexpected should happen and there
should be no cutting. cold winds driv-

Branch Rickey's Browns will look
more like the All-Collegiate touring team
in 1916, if some of the players for whom
the St Louis manager is angling are
landed.
Hickey is said to have line on Harry
Legore, the Yale star, who recently was
removed from college athletics because
Of violation of one of Yale's rules re-
garding eligibility.
Legore. according to reports, is con-
sidering an offer to become professional,
and, as college players know of Hickey
and believe that they would get a better
chance from him than any other manager,
Lesoye is very apt to join the Browns
Bill Donovan is to give Charlie Mullen,
his substitute first baseman, a chance to
play second base next season. Mullen
has been on the trip of the All Stars
through the west. Johnny Evers wrote to
Donovan that Mullen has been playing
wonderful ball at second base. 1t is in
this position that the Yankees have been
none too well fortified, for Boone is not
hitter.
!, Donovan already has announced that
he will take chance with Mullen and
If he hits at all he will be a big i'm
provement over Boone.
If John Henry's prediction that Harry
Harper has been greatly improved by
his trip with-the All Stars pans out,
MdHdSer GrlIntn IS very apt TO nSnf
the proposed rule which will put an
end to transforming, for he would want
to send others Of his young pitchers on
just such a tour as Harper took this
fall.
So long as the young players are
forced to behave themselves on these
! trips there can be no harm in them
and the fact that the All Stars this
year drew good crowds would indicate
that they put up satisfactory exhibit
tions.
