The Maryland Aggies and Johns Hop
kins have proved the only real lucky
college relay teams in the south, and
Central High School tho luckiest
school. each having drawn the pole in
different classes in the Pennsylvania
games. to be held April "a. This is the
first time since the Maryland Agricul-
tural College has been sending a team
to the relays that it has drawn better
than fourth position from the pole.
Hopkins has never had the pole before,
but has held second and third posi-
tions. On the outside of the Farmers
will run, in order. Lebanon Valley,
Crsinus. Washington College, Della
ware College. Gallaudet College and
Villanova. incidentally, this is about
the first year that Gallaudet has failed
to draw an advantageous position.
Against Hopkins will run Coe College,
Michigan Agricultural College, Uni
versity of Virginia: Holy Cross, SYRIA
euse, Columbia and Naval Academy.
Central High School is entered in two
classes, being booked to run for the
high school championship of the coun-
try and in the class one, regular races,
for high schools In the championship
from the pole. The Brooklyn Manual
Training, Bloomfield and Lynn high
schools are running inside. Philadel-
phia Central High and Newark High
have fifth and sixth places on the track.
Central proved lucky in it's other race,
drawing the pole against Providence
Technical, West Philadelphia, Erasmus
Hall, Worcester Classical. Atlantic City,
Philadelphia Northeast, De Witt Cfn-
ton and Englewood. Western High
drew sixth place in it's race, and Tech
meal High drew fifth in the same race.
There is little doubt that Central has
an excellent chance to win in class one.
Running from the pole. it is going to
take mighty fast quartet to finish IN
front of the youngsters who represent
the. local school. And it is likely to
do mighty good work in the champion
ship class. Central has j team of eX-
ceptional strength. and it will be sure
to do better than anybody expects. ex-
cept those familiar with the member
ship of the team
The Maryland Aggies also have the
best chance to win that has presented
itself to them in years. They will send
up the fastest four they have had in
FIVE seasons, and will run from the
best position on the track.
Yale had it's customary luck with it
in the drawings for the relays, getting
the pole in the mile and four miles.

and second from the pole in the two

of the drawing in almost every race,
drawing No. In the one mile, No. s
in the two miles and No. IL in the four
miles.
A meeting of the Amateur Base Ball
Association of the District of Columbia
is scheduled to take place tomorrow
evening at o'clock. Affairs per
tanning to the final adjustment of the
various leagues and the opening OF
the season in general will be dis
cussed. First, though. there will be
an eleoion of officers.
1t is not probable there will be many
changes in the rules governing the
sport. Conditions generally within the
past three years have been all right
from that standpoint, and something of
a revival in interest in the amateur
end of the sport is looked for. There
was some little talk of altering the
two-team rule, but that is not likely to
be done.
The present officers are almost sure
to be reelected. unless some refuse to
serve longer. The administration OF
the men now in charge of the analrs
of the association has been all that
could be desired. and it is to be hoped
that they will continue in their present
positions.
It is not known definitely whether
there will be new requests for men,

lied leagues, but it is expected that
one or two will be received 1t is fair
ly certain that at least one new or
ganizat ton will become affiliated with
the body.

ginia University are to play the only
ball game scheduled around here to-
day. West Virginia lost by a big score

tionals' staff for a while last summer.
will be on the mound. The Farmers
figure they have an even chance to get
away with the game. Notwithstanding
the effectiveness of Barron's hurting as
general thing.
The Central High School nine seems
to be very fortunate in having two
mighty good hitters to bat third and
fourth in Mcdonald and Chaplin. Both
these boys have been connecting with
the ball very frequently and have
proved dangerous in every contest in
which they have taken part in the
practice season so far. Just what they
will do in the regular series is hard to
foretell, but the pitcher who faces
them in a pinch had better be careful
as to what he serves UP. Either is IL
able to hit the ball hard at any time

A few lines from the Pacific coast
chronicle the death OF one Of the great
est ball players the game has known.
His skin happened to be black and he
never shone In the majors, however.
He was Monroe. an infielder. who went
to the coast with Rube Fosters negro
team. Lung trouble caused his death.
He was a native Of Chattanooga and
had been playing ball for eighteen
years with negro teams. Those who
have seen him play say he was a La
joie and Wagner combined.
Tim Murnane surely springs a new
one. The majestic veteran says that
instead Of the minor leagues suffering
the most from financial depression
they are really, as a rule. better fixed
to rally than the majors Tins arEu-
ment is that the minor clubs as a gen
eral thing are owned by a large num-
Der of small-town stockholders each
with but a little money invested. while
the big clubs are financed by one OF
two men only. who therefore have to
stand a sharper gaff. That's a new
way of looking at the situation.

make their system OF play smooth
Boston is believed to have the best
chance to replace the Athletics as PEN
nant winners, and the one other team
figured as dangerous is the White Sox
of Chicago. None Of the other teams
is doped to cut much of f1gure, but
there may be lot of upsets OF tins
calculation. To begin with. no one is
convinced that Connie Mack's team Will
not prove a surprise despite the fact
that on paper it seems to have been
materially weakened. and Detroit, too,
will have to be reckoned with.
Though Miller Huggins st. Louis Car
dinals seemed to have been materially
weakened by Federal League raids,
having lost Perritt, WinGo and Magee,
three of the teams most valuable men,
the team has won the spring series from
the Browns rather easily. Huggins seems
to have Il good team notwithstanding
the loss of the three men mentioned,
though his victory over the Browns
does not necessarily give correct iiiie
on the latter team.
II seems the Browns are not in as
good shape as they might be, but they
imnroyed as the series progressed and
the season gets under way Hickey VIII

League than Huggins has in the Ma

poI n q W
the locals go to New York to open
the season Four games Will be played
there and then the Athletics come here
for four games. But the Nationals
have a long, hard trip after that, for
they play in every city of the circuit
before returning home, being on the
road full month.
Bill Donovan is carrying only twenty
hall nlayers on his roster, which is
iess than most of his rivals are carry
ing. But Donovan will have one ad-
vantage in that he will not have any
cutting to do, but has room for three
additional players If the opportunity
to pick up good men shouid present
itself.
On what the Yankees have shown to
date, the team seems to have been i'm
proved considerably since last year.
New blood has been added. which has
improved the lineup. while the teams
spirit is much improved over what it
used to be.
Not until the season is well under
way will there be any line on the abil-
ity OF the new managers Of the several
major league clubs. While all of them
have been given credit for making
GOOD during the spring training period,
the crucial test will come when they
hook up in the real battles after the
season starts. Then 1t will be shown
lust how much base ball some of the
new managers know and whether they
have the ability to impart their knowl-
edge to their charges.
There is no evidence of lberality in
the carrying of many players by the
Federal League clubs the coming sea-
son. Already most of them have an
nounced big cuts. and the chances are
that with very few exceptions none of
the clubs will carry more than twenty
players.

CHECKS ON LOCAL. MEN

Frank H. Janski of this city and
Vern Anderson of the Brickyards were
victims of check forger the first Of
last week, the former for $40 and the
latter for So. The bad checks were
passed by John Ryan Of Pillsbury, N.
D. The local men learned that they
had been swindled when the checks
were returned here Saturday, after be-
ing protested at the Pillsbury bank,
on which they were drawn.
According to the story Of Mr.. Ander-
son, Ryan, who had been working Tor
a man named Mckay at Pillsbury, took
some stock to the St. Paul markets for
him. On his way back he stopped here.
He met Anderson, whom he knew, hav-
ing worked with him. He met Janski
soon afterward. On Monday last week
he approached Janski with story
about how he had run short of funds,
and asked Janski to cash a check for
$40 which his employer had given him.
Janski cashed the check, not suspect
ing that the checks were worthless. La
ter Ryan secured 80 from Anderson in
the same manner. He then disappear

Upon receipt Of the notice of the
checks being protested, the men who
had been victimized notified the local
chief of police and the sheriff and they
have been on the lookout for the man.
The Pillsbury authorities were also no.
tilted to look for him. No trace of him
has yet been found.

SPINSTERHOOD OFTEN A GIRLS
OWN FAULT

cit is often the girls fault that she
does not get married. says young
man in the December issue of the
Woman's Home Companion, who gives
his opinion of the modern Young wom-
an as his reason t"~ remaining single.
"she'd expect me to keep up the
same pace" he says. "she'd expect
to live in the style her parents can
afford, to dress and live as we'll as any
of her neighbors. The same impulse
which makes the girl of today demand
the same sort of attention from man
that her richer girl friends receive
will keep her poor husbands nose on
the grindstone. once she lands him. I
tell you it's the extravaganza demands
of the girl herself that frightens off the
man. Mind you, I do not say there are
not exceptions. But group the girls,
and you see the attitude which fright
ems off the man of moderate means, or
moderate salary, or position as yet
insecure''
