The Army and Navy Props arc to
open their season wednesday. being
booked for contest with the western
High nine. Mike Clancy. former Cath
olic University athlete. is in charge of
athletics at that school and says that
he has the prospects for fair COM
bination
Georgetown won only one game on its
trip through Georgia, but that was not
a poor showing. all things considered.
The Blue and Gray nine was not IN
anything like as good condition as the
Georgia schools, and it was not to be
expected that the former would do
more than break even. Conditions are
such in that section that the players
can begin practice much earlier than
here and the general work of the loca |
men was quite satisfactory to those in
charge.
The Blue and Gray combination was
in much the same relative position re-
2arding the Georgia teams as are the
mines of the big universities of the
north when they come to Washington
to play. A lack of condition during
the first few days of the season is gen
orally noted in all the clubs that come
here, and sometimes when the north
ern schools go out to play against the
Washington institutions they get their
first outdoor work of the year.

Hagerman fooled President Weeghman
Of the Chicago Feds into receipting for
and opening the letter in which Hager-
man returned the bonus money the
Feds paid him when he jumped. Hager-
man put a return address on the en-
velope-"Miss Mary Smith, Chillicothe
Ohio" Naturally Weeghman did not
know 1t was from the retiopping pitch
er. Since the fact has come out that
