is promised so that the two great rival
teams, headed BY Cpl. Richter on one
side and by Managers Ho and Chong
on the other, can settle the question
of supremacy. The spirit Of rivalry is
what keeps the game alive, and the
fans can rest assured that the two
teams will fight for every inch.
Capt Norris Stayton. who has done
q great deal for the uplift Of local
baseball. has offered his services as
umpire gratis for both the Saturday
and Sunday contests. His action, as
well as those Of the ATl-Army boys

heartily commended by Chinese fans.
It was largely through the efforts OF
Rev w ID. Westerveita that all the
parties are brought together.
For these two games both sides will
be prepared to use two or three sets
of batteries. The All-Army team will
have Handsome Jack Lawson and
Speedy Easter on the firing line, with
the massive Sauer and Dawson as re-

they will be given a monster sendoff,

Navy Defeats Yale With the Foils
by Only One Point.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. February 20.-The
Naval Academy fencing team won from
Yale in an exciting contest with foils
this afternoon, to bouts. The Mid
dies are especially pleased with the
victory. in view of the fact that Yale

compete in the final bouts at the
tournament to be held in New York
the 1st of April.
It looked at the start as though the

with comparative ease. But the Wis

next three engagements. The result
was in doubt until the final bout.

HARRY LORD WILLING
Ready to Return to White Sox
if Salary Is Right.
UP TO COMISKEY, HE SAYS
Third Baseman Is Almost Down to
Weight Due to Leading
Life Out of Doors.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PORTLAND, Mo-. February 90
Harry Lord, third sacker of the Chi
cago White Sox. who quit the middle
of last season and has since been at
his home at Cape Elizabeth near here
says it is up to Comiskey to decide
whether he is to play with Chicago
this year. Correspondence has passed
between the two. and Comiskey re-
Gently made the statement that he
wanted Lord for third base, and
thought he would have him. In an
swer to this Lord says he would like
to play, but that Chicago knows under
what sort of terms he will play and
that Chicago understands that it is up
to the club management to say the
word. Lord is in great shape for play
ing ball right now. excepting that he
is bit over weight. He practically
lives out of doors-hunting. fishing,
walking or riding miles in his auto
mobile-and he could get into shape
for the playing season speedily with
out any training trip in warmer
cline.
To Jack Coombs, who met Lord in
this city late last fall, Lord smilingly
admitted that the twice-a-month pay
envelope looked pretty good and he
missed getting it. and his manner and
tone carried impression that he wished
he were playing base ball again. When
Lord came home last summer it was
said that he felt himself slipping and
he preferred to quit while he was well
up in the game rather than be sent
to the minors. Subsequent to his quit
ting he tried to get his release from
Comiskey. but the Chicago man
couldn't see it. trusting that he might
get Lord to play again sooner or later.
That Callahan and Lord couldn't get
along together is believed to be the
real issue, and with the Chicago outfit
under a new manager it may be that
Lord will be back. There has been talk
that he would like to buy lesser club
and handle it, but no move in this di-
rection has been made by him.
Good One on Harry.
