The scholastic track and field meet.
which has been held annually by the
Johns Hopkins University will be
abandoned this spring, or rather the
decision already has been reached to
discontinue the meet. a lack of gen
eral success is given as the reason.
The scholastic athletes will not have
for competition, however. as Tome In
stitute has decided to have a meet on
the same date-the second Saturday in
May. There will be no conflict in the
dates of those to be held by the Mary
land Agricultural College and Tome.
Gallaudet College probably will put
two relay teams in both the indoor
meets to be held here. The prep school
will be represented by quartet and
the college also will have a four in
competition. This will be the first year
the Kendall Greeners have made a real
attempt to be represented on the in
door tracks in long while.
For some time Gallaudet has sent
relay teams to the University of Penn
sylvania relay games. the last Sat
urday in April. and there is no appar-
ent reason why 1t should not be rep
resented on the indoor tracks. 1t is
much easier to put team in the local
meets from financial standpoint than
it is to send one to Philadelphia, and
efforts are to be made to do this
season, according to reliable report.

LOWE BEATS BROWN
Gets Decision in 15-Round
Bout at Ardmore.
BUDDY RAY IS DEFEATED
Loses to Battling Terry in Semi
Windup-Preliminaries
Very Short.

Tommy Lowe was given a decision
over Knockout" Brown of New York
at the opening of the new Ardmore
Boxing Club yesterday afternoon after
fifteen rounds of fast fighting. The
referees card showed the contest to
have been very even with the excep-
ton of two or three rounds, which
were loves. A knockdown scored by
the Washington boy in the early part
of the battle. on which Brown took the
count of nine, was the main factor
which sent the uch-heralded New
Yorker home a defeated man.
Brown was always willing to mix
things, but it is not detracting from
loves performance in the least to say
that the youngster who goes under the
fighter. He is not two-handed. Brown
fights left-handed and is distinctly a
left-handed fighter, as he does not pack
a punch in his right hard enough to
bother anybody. Lowe proved himself
a much cleverer boxer than Brown
and displayed a greater knowledge of
ring craft Be it said for Brown,
though, that he fought easily, was al
ways willing to mix it, did mos, of the
leading and never was in distress at
any time.
Ray Loses to Terry.
In the semi -windup Battling Terry
took the measure of Buddy Ray in
eight rounds of what would have been
good fighting had not Ray hung on
continually. Ray would swing on Terry
and then run into a clinch and hang
there until it took almost the whole
strength of Referee O'Connor to pry
him loose.
In the opening bout Battling Bernard
easily got the better of Jack Nelson.
He practically had the latter out when
Nelson's seconds threw a towel into the
ring.
In another preliminary Kid White,
colored boy, was a veritable novice in
front of Bert Green, another boxer of
the same race. White quit before the
end of the first round.

Yesterday the two new owners made
1t plain that none of these players
would be accepted until Manager Dono-
van had passed on them.
This shows that the new owners are
starting in the proper manner. 1t is
the manager of a team who is held re-
sponsible for it's showing. hence he
should have the privilege of selecting
his own material. 1t Is revelation to
And novices in base ball displaying such
good judgment, and there is hope of
the new owners making rapid progress
in their efforts to build up a winning
team.
When the probable sale of the New
York club was first announced, the
story was started that Hugh Jennings
would i'll all probability be chosen man
ager of the team under the new
regime. There were stories circulated
that Jennings had worn out his popu-
larity in Detroit because the team had
not been winning any pennants of late
years, and it was hinted that Bill
Donovan probably would succeed Jen-
nings If the latter went to New York.
But Owner Navin of the Detroit club
did not share the alleged opinion of
the Detroit fans, for he not only an
nounced that Jennings would continue
at the head of the Tigers, but he per
sonally used his influence to have Bill
Donovan considered by the prospective
owners OF the Yankees. Donovan will
see his first year as major league
manager His only other experience as
a team leader was last season, when
he landed the Providence team in first
place in the International League.
federal court, eastern district of Mis-
souri,, will hear the MarSons case some
time between January is and 20
This case is an important base ball
ENHANCEMENT. Marsans had a ten-day
notice i'll his contract, and he served tho
Cincinnati club with a similar notice when
he got ready to jump. This happened
last year. If the court should decide In
Marsans' favor it would not mean much
for the Feds, though Marsans probably
would play with them. But the ten-day
release clause has been eliminated from
the contracts of nearly all players in
organized base ball. and hence their con-
tracts are now believed to be binding,
thus making it impossible for the Feds
to obtain any of these players, even if
they induce them to jump.
According to reports from Cincinnati
there is likelihood of Manager Herzog
making deals for both Charley Doom of
the Phillies and Fred Nerkle of the
Giants. Deals are pending which have
this change in view. Herzog has been in
Cincinnati in conference with Hermann
for several days, and it is said that sew
eral deals will be arranged.
