the practical head of athletics at the
Hatchetite institution.
Only one more indoor track and field
meet is to be held in this section this
season, that which takes place under
the auspices of George Washington
Univer ity week from Saturday. 1t is
hard to tell what will be the character
of this set of games. There seems to
be a period of depression in track
sports this season. as far as the meets
in this section are concerned, neither
the one held by Johns Hopkins and
the 5th Regimnet A. A. in Baltimore
nor the event which took place Sat
urday night under the auspices of
Georgetown being up to the standard
of former years. 1t is understood that
GeorGetown's meet was a financial sue
cess, which makes the meet all that could
be desired from Georgetown'S point
of view. Georgetown has questioned
very much within the last few years
whether or not it has paid to spend
several hundred dollars in bringing
down track stars from the north as
added attractions, and this year the
experiment was tried of not doing it.
Charley Cox, graduate manager of ath-
letics. had this to say of the result:
I'VE have localized the meet and 1t
is the greatest, financial success we
have had for ten years. We have ques-
toned for some time the advsability
of laying out hundreds of dollars for
guarantees for big squads from the
north. and this year decided not to do
so. The result, while it took away
from the games some attractions. has
proved financially all :nat could be de-
sired"

HARVARD MAY LOSE MAHAN.
Academic Troubles Believed to Be
Too Much for Athlete.

BOSTON. February 21.-Aecording to
all the dope available, Eddie Mahan is
lost to Harvard on account of a num-
Der of circumstances. any one of which
would be enough to place him outside
the running. 1t was hoped that the
far-famed Eddie would be a member of
the Crimson base ball team. but it is
now reported that he has had academic
troubles which would be sufficient to
keep him busy for some time. If he
overcomes the deficiencies which exist
at the April examinations he may pos
slbly get back into the game.
Another item of considerable i'm
portance is the fact that he has signed
up to assist in the coaching of the Uni
versity of CALIFORNIA; foot ball eleven
next fall. Although this story has not
been officially announced. there is no
doubt as to it's truth. 1t is also re-
ported that Eddie will receive $4,000
for his services
Mahan's loss will be felt by the Grim
son base ballers, as his presence would
be decidedly helpful His well known
athletic ability has already been noted
as Harvard asset, and the members
OF the team will be a bit downcast
when they learn of the handicaps i'm
posed on Mahan.

Manager Clark Griffith received a
pamphlet from the Base Ball Magazine
this morning in which is advocated the
playing about the 4th of July of a
series of games by two star teams to
be selected by experts.
Griffith condemned the plan in rather
severe terms, as he considered it would
be a detriment to base ball.
I'm the first place, there would be no
interest in such a SERIES" said Crit
fifth.
1.-The suggestion that such a series
of games would be of the highest play
ing caliber indicates that those who are
suggesting it are not familiar with the
game. 1t does not follow that a team
of all stars would play we'll together.
1t takes time to have a team play a
modern system OF base ball without
having worked together for some time,
which the proposed teams would be
unable to do.
Incidentally the idea of playing a
series of this kind, and in midseason,
would have no other effect than inter-
fering with the two major league pen
nant races, and there is not the slight
est chance for the men who have spent
their lives in creating interest in base
ball to adopt such a plan. 1t is really
too absurd to be discussed, and those
who make such suggestions cannot
possibly have any idea of what base
ball is or have its best interest at
heart"
Until the Federal Leaguers trfs
their hand at the game. one nev..
heard of a club fighting for the pen
nant to the last day and losing the
championship by less than point
dropping more money in season than
one that finished last.
A club losing more money when it
finished second in a pennant race than
it lost when it finished last in the same
league the year before was never heard
of until the Federal League got into
the game. But this happened, accord
ing to some startling information
handed out by Phil Ball at the Amer
lean League meeting last week. Here
are Balls figures:
The Terriers lost $50, 900 in 1913.
The Terriers finished last in 1914 and
lost $SS.00O.
The Terriers finished second in 1915
and lost $4,000.

TO GIVE DREW BATTLE.
Roy Morse Will Run Against Cham.
pion at Meet Here.

Roy F. Morse of Buffalo. who holds
the Junior national 1OO-yard and the
senior 22o-yard championships, will
run with Howard J.. Drew, the 1OO-yard
world champion, at the indoor athletic
meet of the colored public schools and
Howard University in Convention Hall
Friday evening.
Morse recently has come to the front
through his close competition in the
races with Drew in New York. At the
meet of the Millrose Athletic Associa-
ton in the Madison Square Garden, in
that city. Morse was right at Drew's
shoulders when the tape was breasted
In fact, Morse was SO close that the
judges did not render a decision in
favor of the boy from the University of
Southern California until a conference
had been held.
Announcement of the other contend
ers with Drew on the night of the meet
has not yet been made. However, it is
expected that two of the best runners
from Howard University and one in the
local high schools who has acquitted
himself creditably in the tryouts, will
pace the boards in the 50-yard dash.

But the New York team has in way
fortified itself against this by taking
south several of its scouts and in
structors to assist Donovan in the
training of the squad. Charley Farrell
and Joe Kelly, two well posted base
ball men. will be capable of judging the
ability of a portion of the youngsters,
and make their reports to Manager
Bill.
In many instances. of course, the
Youngsters will be farmed out under
the optional agreement rule, which al
lows the club to recall them in the
event of their development. Instead OF
allowing the major league clubs to send
out but eight players by this method,
the number recently was advanced 70
fifteen, and no doubt Donovan Will
have just about the limit to farm out.
James C. Dunn, the new owner Of the
Cleveland club, intends to build up his
team as best he can. Dunn expects to
spend considerable money in bringing
this about, and he started by buying
Howard, the utilit man of the st. Louis
Browns, who. however, is one of the
oldest players in harness. Ban John
son will be in Cleveland today or to-
morrow, and the chances are that some
important deals will be arranged. 1t
is most likely that several Of the play
ers whom Manager Griffith is anxious
to let out will find their way to the
Cleveland team.
Eight of the st. Louis Browns first
twelve games will be played against the
Cleveland Indians. and 1t Is to be hoped
that by that time Lee Fohl will have
been furnished material enough to give
him a chance to make a good showing
against Fielder Jones' crew.
Those Browns are apt to be a formula
BILE aggregation under Jones, and II they
should get running start might be
troublesome for the early part of the
season at least. But II Ban Johnson's
plans to strengthen the Indians do not
fail, Fohl may be able to hold his own
with the Browns in the hatch Of early
struggles lie will have with that team.
Neither Eddie Plank nor Dave Daven-
port has yet signed with the Browns
Both are dissatisfied with the contracts
rendered them. and Plank. in addition
does not want to play with the st. Louis
team.

that unless these two star pitchers get
into the fold they viii not be allowed to

The Nationals will play twelve exhi-
bition games before the season opens.
Eight of these will be with three Of
the National League teams, Brooklyn.
Boston and Philadelphia. Two local
college teams also will be played.
Georgetown and Catholic University.
while the Rockies will go to Alex
andrta to play the Cardinal team Of
that city. ..
For the games here with the Ma
tional League teams an umpire from
the National League and one from the
American League will officiate. This
will be an added feature and will not
only assure an even break for the two
teams, but will add to the spirit that
the teams will display.
It is hoped that good weather will
prevail during the exhibition period.
