Baltimore Club Takes Honors
in S. A. Championship Run.
GEiGER IN FIRST PLACE
Finishes Well Ahead of Other Com
petitors-Downey Best Of
Local Boys.

The Baltimore Cross Country Club
carried off honors in the south Atlantic
cross-country championship run held
here yesterday. The Maryland organ
ization not only had runner carrying
its colors across the line first, but it
also won the team trophy by quite a
big margin.
Fred Geiger was the victor. Taking
the lead right at the start. Geiger ran
an even race until tho finish. He was
never headed, though Eckenroth, his
teammate, pushed him hard during the
first half of the event. Geiger made
one or two mistakes in the course,
which cost him probably a hundred
yards. but as Eckenroth was guilty Of
the same infringements he lost nothing
in comparison, and as the other run
ners, with the exception of Cnsoltz,
were far behind, there was not much
for him to worry about. Geigers time
was 39.13 over a course approximately
seven and one-half miles. n
Three Baltimoreans Finish.
Three runners of the Baltimore club
crossed the finish line before any Car
roll Institute man. Little Jack Downey
was the first Washington boy to finish,
and he ran splendidly against older
and more experienced men. Next to
Geiger came Eckenroth and after him
were Unsoltz and Downey. Healy Of
Carroll Institute was only two seconds
slower than Downey.
One of the largest crowds that has
ever watched a cross-country event
was on hand to see the start, and it is
probable that an even greater congre-
cation crowded the finish when the
runners heRan to cross the lima the
end of the race. The police failed to
keep them from crowding the street
and blocking the way of the compete
tors.

is likely to be seen at second base. the
spot Eddie Collins vacated. 1t was al
Philadelphia, with the old Quakers, that
Larry first gained his great fame.
Veteran fans recall how Lajoie took
the high dive to the American League
in those stormy days. His case became
nationally famous. Much of the battle
centered on him. Injunctions and all
sorts Of court cases were brought to
bear on the situation.
There was considerable bitterness in
volved. too. However, all OF this Is for
gotten and, doubtless, Lajofe will be
welcomed back by Quaker fans and will
be cheered as he wears the Athletic
uniform.
Mack Answers Query.
Ever since Connie Mack sold Eddie
Collins to the White sox there has been
considerable speculation as to What
player Mack would place on second.
The gan left was SO tremendous there
was DESPAIR among the friends of the

The combination of McGinnis, Barry

SO far as faithfulness to his club is
concerned there has never been any
one in base ball who rated higher.
What mistakes Walter has made
should not and will not be held
against him. for the very good reason
that he Is one of the players who al
ways give their club their best efforts.
Organized base ball is making a most
decided comeback" in its battle with
the Federal League. By first getting
down to a safe and sane salary sys-
tenn, the minor leagues stand q chance
Of breaking even or better the COM
ing season.
Both the major leagues will limit the
teams to a minimum Of players. while
the stars who have jumped to the Feds
are being brought back at a rate that
must be alarming to the new league
promoters.
The hardest blow landed the Feds
was when Walter Johnson jumped back
to the local club. That opened the way
for similar comebacks, including Ray
Caldwell and Catcher Wingo. and now
1t is said Marsans also will come back,
regardless Of how his pending case
may be decided.
The Feds no doubt had hopes of sign
ing Sherwood Magee. Charley Doom,
Hans Lobert and Dode Paskert. but the
o. B. clubs got them in line by max
were thwarted. These discouraging
conditions drove the promoters of the
outlaw circuit to the courts in an
effort to have the entire organization
of base ball declared in violation of the
law.
