HINT VA. LEAGUE IS
DUE TO DISCONTINUE
Officials Fail to Deny Rumors
That Circuit May Go Under
This Winter.

LYNCTTRURG. Va, Dec. 19.-Direc-
tors OF the virginia League failed to
deny the report that the circuit may
go under during the winter.
II Is hinted that Suffolk Is woefully
weak on the proposition of professional
ball for another season. this condition
being due to the considerable losses
the last season. Petersburg is already
out and Wilmington. ". C, fans have
not waxed warm IN an effort to land
me sunolk franchise. should the Swamp
Cats backerJ decide not. to undertake
the support of a team In Suffol(; again.
HopeweI comes forward with tho
statement that the fre which wiped out
that town, last week will not interfere
with the plans Of the men who have
been backing that town in the effort to
land the Petersburg team. which was
Ing more than half OF the 1915 season.
One of the livolieRt scribes In the
Tidewater is authority for the state
mGnt that the money derived from tho
sale OF the Richmond territory to the
Richmond fans, which made possible
the entrance of that city into the In
ternational League was the one thing
which enabled the Old Dominion circuit
TO go through the season This scribe
admits that Richmond was the back :
bone OF the league and that without
circuit
From this same authority It Is learned
that IN addition to using up the money
paid by Richmond for release from the
circuit. the league used all of the sink
Ing fund and most Of the six SS0i checks
put up by the teams as the season 8
guarantee
Formerly Se sinking fund had some
thing like 500 or $1,000 in 1t for divis-
ion among the teams at the end of the
playing season. These facts IL they arc
facts, indicate something Of the real
trouble President Boatwright had in
keeping the ship afloat during the sea-
son and they may throw some light
on the refuPal Of that gentleman 10
stand for the presidency again. II also
seems to indicate why the league has
already had Feveral meetings and stu
the 1916 circuit is yet to be made up.
Norfolk Rocky Mount. Portsmouth and
Newport News appear TO be ready to
so to work again.
The suggestion has been made that
Lynchburg and Danvflle, two of the old
towns of the circuit. might be available
for reorganization for next year and
the directors may find some interest In
these gyms II ctay will care TO take II
Zip. There IL no doubt about Lynch
burg being ready for ball. II Danville
can be induced to go along. but Lynch
burg would hardly undertake a team
alone because OF the distance from the
other towns Of the circuit.

Best Racing Pigeons
Entered in Exhibition

The entries for the exclusive racing
pigeon show which is to be held on
Wednesday closed last night. Many
fanciers were disappointed in not being
able to enter as many of their fine
pigeons as they wanted to. owing to the
lack of space. AS a result only the
very best pigeons viii be on exhibition.
All the notable racers of Washington
will be in the show. There will be
pigeons which have created an ihterna-
tional record for a 6O0-mile race; pig
cons that have won second honors
in the grand national race from Can
ada: veterans which after proving win
ners in races of 400 and 500 miles have
rounded out their notable careers with
honors from New Orleans. Chicago, So
Louis and Canada.
A feature of the show will be a dis
play of timing machines. racing rings,
cups, solid silver cups, papers. photo

@. w. u. BaSketerS Get
Started in Navy Game
HatChetites Play at Annapolis on Wednesday While
Georgetown and Catholic University Have Out
of-Town Battles During the Week.
By BRYAN MORSE.

College teams here will play out
of-town games before the Christmas
recess so that followers of the bat
ties will have no chance to see their
favorites until after the first of the
year. The week will mark the start
Of the George Washington Univer-
sity basketball team for the Hatch
cities, who have been working out
at the Y. M. C. A., will engage the
Naval Academy team at Annapolis
on Wednesday and then, satisfied or
not at their showing, will geS going
again about January 7.
One of the big features Of the
year will be missed this season as
Yale refused to come here for a
game with c. u. owing to the fact
that the gymnasium, contemplated
for use by c. U. at the time Of
scheduling contests, was deemed too
small for the intercollegiate cham
piOns.
Georgetown will be in and around
New York until midweek, and plays
Seton Hall, at South Orange. N. j..
tomorrow night; New York University
on Tuesday. and st. Johns College. in
Brooklyn, on Wednesday. Tuesday the
Catholic University meets Mt. ST
Josephs in Baltimore, and will then
lay of until after the holidays.
With interest in basketball on de-
cided increase there Is every indica-
ton that the local colleges will favor
the plan of playing through the Christ
mas holidays next year. The larger
colleges could be brought down mere
during tho recess and Washington fans
might get a chance to see some OF the
big teams in action,
One argument in favor OF playing
through the holidays here is the fact
that local teams get out for baseball
much earlier, and consequently the
season is shorter here. Yale, Penn.
Princeton. Columbia, and Cornell could
be gotten at figures which could be
met provided the interest in the game
continues to be as healthy as 1t is al
present.
Georgetown got away with its gama
against the Brooklyn Polytechnic In
stitute team bv a score of q to 19. The
Blue and Grav team went forward TO
whirlwlnd finish and floor shots by
McNultv and O'I,one in almost the last
minute OF plav. won the battle.
The Blue and Gray margin of win
! was but a point advanced over that OF
Wednesday. when Mt. st. Joseph's was
defeated by a single point.
