According to Manager Griffith, tho

as make good. 1t is not his intention
to let go Of any of the twirlers who
show they can pitch in the American
League. even II he has to carry as
many as ten.
pitchers Of ability are not picked up
every day. and If all the twirlers now
have in training make good and con-
vince mo that they can pitch in this
company I will carry every ono of
them. it being cheaper to do this than
to have to develop a lot of twirlers
every year." said Grifith this morning.
"A team cannot be too well supplied
with pitchers. OF course. it may have
moro than it can work regularly. but
1t is often policy to be in a position
where some pitcher can be given a rest
while another is worked, and it is a
good thing to have sucn extra twirlers
on hand"

Considerable discussion was prccip-
tated at the George Washington track
meet Saturday night because of the
failure of the Georgetown and Johns
Hopkins teams to appear for the relay
race. for which they were scheduled
on the program. and which had been
extensively advertised. Many questions
concerning the race were asked, but
everybody seemed to be at loss for an
explanation.
The true status of the affair seems to
be that George Washington scheduled
an event for which it did not have the
proper authority. The Johns Hopkins
relay team came to Washington Satur-
day night with the sole purpose almost
of running one of the features against
Georgetown, and it did not know until
1t was in Convention Hall that the race
was not to take place.
Joe England. coach of the Hopkins
squad. looked up John OReilly. phys
ical director at Georgetown. and prac-
tically informed him that GeorgetoW g
failure to run probab bly, would mean
there would be no further athletic re-
lations between the two institutions.
O'Reilly was very indignant and stated
emphatically that Georgetown had
never given assurance to George Wash
lngton that it would take part in a
relay event, and that that institution
had no authority whatsoever to sched-
ule Georgetown for race with Hop
kins O'Reilly stated that George
Washington scheduled the event, ad-
vertised it and placed it in the pro-
gram without authority. as no person
In authority at Georgetown ever had
agreed to any such proposition. That
explanation satisfied England. but he
stated emphatically he was going to
find out why Hopkins had been asked
to bring over it's relay team to run in
a race to which its opponent had not
agreed.

WAGERS ON A KNOCKOUT
Wizards Manager Bets 81 900 Even
With Dorgan That Moran
Will Take Count.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The feeling
of confidence in Jess Willard's camp
that the champion will win from
Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar
den. March 25. by a Knockout has be-
come so strong that Tom Jones, Will
lard's manager. has wagered $1,000 at
even money with Ike Dorgan. manager
of Moran, that Willard will knock out
the Pittsburgher. This is one of few
goodsiZed bets on the bout that have
been made thus far Jones is credited
with being shrewd bettor, and he
made wager with Dorgan with the
greatest apparent satisfaction. He has
also made other bets that the cham
pion will register the dream punch on
Moran.
The betting fraternity is just be-
coming active on this bout, and the
coming week may see some large
wagers registered. Some of the wise
gamblers are willing to take the Moran
end at good odds. but there have been
no bets made which indicate Moran's
hackers are willing to take a chance
on his outpointing the champion, ex-
cept at wide odds.

Der of the 1915 team back, the Naval
Academy has finished a very successful
schedule. Fourteen games were played,
and of these only two were lost, prob
ably better record than any other
quint in the east can show. The two
teams getting victories over the Navy
were Swarthmore and New York Uni
versity, which ranked with the strong
est among the colleges.
The first game was played against
Loyola College, and was won by ~ to

To make a record of this character
against standard teams is something OF
which the Sailors may well be proud.
No other institution in the south played
as hard a list of contests. and no little
part of the credit for the excellent
work should go to Jim Colliflower, who
coached the team. The former George
town man took up his work with the
squad with only fair prospects, having
to build a new team entire with the
exception of Wilkes, a guard of the
1915 quint. That he made good by
turning out a five capable of winning
a great majority of it's games against
big institutions is sufficient to show
how effective was his work.
Calhoun proved the main point get
ter. throwing sixty-seven field goals
and eighty-two from the foul line,
about half the points scored by his
team. Coach Collif1ower paid Calhoun
a high tribute not long ago when he
made the unqualified statement that
there was no other forward in the
south near his equal. The records of
the players follow:
