The blue" law which went into
effect In Virginia yesterday did not
stop three amateur base ball games.
the Clarendon nine winning two con-
tests from the Empire Athletic Club
and Commerce mines at Clarendon and
the Alexandria White Sox trimming the
soldiers of Fort Hunt. 1t is understood
that the members of the Alexandria
team have been summoned to court
though.
The Clarendon nine blanked the Com
merce club by 10 to 0. the latter get
ting but one safety off the delivery
Of Weave. The Clarendon aggrega-
ton clouted the ball hard. driving out
twelve hits. The Empire team was al
most as easy for the virginians, as 1t
was defeated by to q Montague
felded well for the Empire club, while
Creditor did some fine work at short
stop.
The Mohawks took their game with
the Red Athletic Club by to 4. put
ting up much better defensive play.
Crooke and Moran led the winners at
bat, while Blair. at short and at bat
was the star of the losing club.
1t is questionable If there is another
man IN the country who can point back
70 such coaching record as that of
charles E. Courtney. head coach of row
ing at Cornell for many years. Fifty
nine tunes since he has been at the
mead or aquatics at Ithaca has Courtney
sent MS crews against representatives
Oh other universities and thirty mine
81 the races have resulted in victories
Tor his men. Cornell, under Courtney's
regime, has established wonderful
reputation for the prowess of its boats,
ana has long been envied by others.
NO other university in the United States
can point back to such a splendid record
OF achievements as those which grace
the history Of the Ithaca crews within
the last twenty years. Ruling with an
ron hand, establishing a discipline ex-
ceedingly strict in its requirements.
courtney won repeated successes dur
ing years when the teams representing
cornell in base ball and foot ball were
not maintaining very high compare
tive standard
1t is said that Courtney ceased to be
head coach at Cornell with the races
Oh iast saturday, in which his men
f1nlshed second to Syracuse in both
events. He still is to be associated with
the coaching from an advisory stand
point, though, according to reports.
