The initial game of the interscholas-

a good game is expected. The Western

The postponement OF the Business

Wise MOVE IS
MADE BY dunn
Transfer of Baltimore Interna-
tional League Club to Rich
mond Proves Profitable.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT
Charley Doom Tells Why He Wants
His Unconditional Release from
the Phillies.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT
By WILLIAM PEET.

One of the wisest moves made by the
International League was the recent
shifting of the Baltimore club to Rich
mond. and the fans of the Virginia
State capital are sure to be generous
with their patronage this season.
The Feds sure did wreck Baltimore
as an International League city last
season. A stranger had only to take a
look at the rival ball parks back to
back just across the street from each
other. and his mind would be quickly
made up as to where he wanted to go.
Baltimore's Federal League park
from the street is an imposing looking
structure. the International League
groShds are puny in comparison.
Dunn lost a pile of money in BaltI-
more, and II was only by selling some
of his players that he was able to stick
in baseball. On the other hand. the
Feds did little better than break even,
but they got what crowds Baltimore
was willing to turn out. which was
more than Dunn could say.
Just why Baltimore fans soured on
Jack Dunn nobody seems to know. The
cry that Connie Mack owned the club
and that every good player developed
was quickly sold to the majors had
something to do with IT, but on the
other hand. Jack Dunn is a native
Baltimorean. and it would be reason
able to suppose that he would have a
big following in the Monumental City
such. however. was not the case.
In Richmond this season Dunn Is sure
to make money II his club is up in the
race. He will be able to provide a better
class of ball than was possible when the
Virginia League held forth, and the jump
Is not such a long one when everything
Is taken into consideration.
The International League has just one
more problem on its hands. Jersey City,
losing proposition. will probably lose
its club, and overtures have already been
made to transfer the team to Syracuse.
1t will be necessary to obtain the
unanimous consent of the New York
State League clubs to get Syracuse into
the fold. and this may provide many OBJ
stacles. Syracuse fans are eager to be
represented in the International League,
however. and If the plans are blocked it
Is predicted that the New York State
League will lose much favor and prestige
In that city.

The Catholic University basketball
team last night defeated the West Vfr.
ginia Wesleyan quint in the Carroll In.
stitute Hall in one of the hardest fought
games in which they have participated
| in this season, the final count being 81
to 81
The close score is attributed to nc
other than one guard of the Methodists
by the name OF Neale. who could at all
! moments get away from his man just
long enough to shove over a few points
for his team.
OF his teams total he contributed
more than one-half sending the ball
through the meshes for seven goals
from court assisted by five free tosses,
| bringing his total up to 19 points.
The game was fast. Notwithstanding
a great number of fouls. and too much
cannot be said of the handling of the
contest Jimmy Hughes calling plays like
he saw them, and although many kicks
were made by the visiting team, they
were wholly without grounds.
The basketball loving public of this
vicinity was out in full force last night.
and should the same size crowds attend
the locals games in the near future
more can he expected of the WASHINGTON
college teams. The Brooklanders show
la vast amount Of improvement since
their last engagement, considering their
strong opponents. and can be depended
upon to do much better with the proper
support from the student body and the
public.
The contest scheduled FOR Saturday
night at the Carroll Hall between the
quints representing Catholic University
and St. John College of Brookland has
been indefinitely postponed. and it was
stated by one high in athletics at the
BrOOkland school that there is little
chance of their meeting. though it may
be arranged for a later date.
