This years contest will be an innova-

clash between the Shrine and the Grot-

could exist. If present plans do not go
astray there also will be battle of

intends to have a well recruited band

While no strict canvass has been made
Of the two branches of the Masonic or

plenty of base ball material within the
ranks of each. and that this years con-
test will come up to that of last sum-
mer. when a real game" was offered.

MORRIS AGAIN TO LEAD
TEAM At MART|NSBURG
This Will Be His Third Year as
Manager in Blue Ridge
League.

MARTINSBURG. w. Va. March IS
With the signing of William G. (Coun-
try) Morris of Washington again to
manage the Martinsburg team of the
Blue Ridge League for this season the
list of managers for the entire circui:
has been completed, as follows:
Frederick, Jack Morrison; Martins
burg, Country" Morris: Hanover, Will
liam Starr; Hagerstown. Bert Weeden
Gettysburg. Ira Plank; Chambersburg
Edward Hopper.
Weeden. the new Hagerstown pilot
was manager last year of the Brock
ton (Mass) team of the New England
League. while Hopper. the new Cham
bersburg manager. has for several
years been coach for the Johns Hopkins
University team in Baltimore. This
will make the third season in the
league for both Morris and Morrison
of Martinsburg and Frederick, and a
hot battle between these two leaders is
expected this wear. Last season Nor
ris was greatly handicapped by an in
jured knee all year and a broken nose
a part of the time, but batted for .33a
in sixty-four games and fielded for ar
average of $50. An operation was per-
formed upon Morris leg during the
winter. and physicians believe he will
not be bothered with it again.
1t is expected that about half of last
seasons Blue Ridge players will be
signed for this season, the remain
der of the players being new men from
other leagues.

MATHEWSON T0PLAY
GOLF WITH HAUGHTON
Big Six" Issues Challenge to New
President of the Boston
Braves.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MIAMI, Fla, March 1S.-President
Percy D. Haughton of the Braves had
been in Miami but a short time when
he received a challenge from Christy
Mathewson of the Giants to engage in
a game of golf. Matty specified that he
was to select a partner who was a
ball player. but he did not impose any
restrictions on the one-time Harvard
leader
Haughton, however. has acquired
something more than an academic edu-
cation and instantly suspected that
big Six" was to ring Fred Merkle in
on the combination. knowing that both
were friends at the ancient game, the
new magnate decided that prepared
ness was the proper precaution and he
has it all arranged so that Francis
Ouimet is to be his partner.
Ouimet, a fellow Bostonian, acquired
a reputation some time ago as a player
and it looks as though Big Six and his
somewhat dark horse partner are in
for a beating.
