NEW PRO" AT CHEVY CHASE.
Jack Burgess Takes Place of Sar-
gent. Who Goes to Minneapolis.

Jack Burgess, now professional at the
Pittsburgh Country Club has been APP
pointed by the Chevy Chase Club to sue
coed George Sargent. who leaves at the
end Of this month to become the pro
at one of the big golf clubs in Mime
apols.
In Burgess the Chevy Chase officials be-
lieve they have found an ideal successor
to Sargent. He is a young man, still in
his twenties, and has had great deal of
experience. He has been associated with
the Pittsburgh Country Club for the past
four years, coming there direct from
Scotland, where he acted in a similar ca
pacty at the Montrose Country Club. Be
sides being a good player, he is a splen-
did teacher, and if he even halfway
lives up to his reputation the club feels
that it will have made ten strike In
being able to land him.
Burgess reported at the club this morn
ing and will remain this month in order
that he may become acquainted with the
members of the club and his new duties.
Sargent will not leave until about March
A and will assist in making the newcomer
at home in his new berth

BY Il. C. BYRD.

Local scholastic track athletes are
likely to cut much greater figure
this season-than for many past. 1t
will indeed be surprise if represent
atives of the preparatory and high
schools here fail to accomplish much
more than in past years and attain
much more prominence. At least, that
is the opinion one would naturally gain
in consideration of the more special
preparations now being made.
There are several athletes in the
schools who are certain to do splendid
work before the end of the season. with
others now in the process of develop
ment. Over at st. Adams there are
three runners of exceptional capabil-
tiles. In fact. SO good are MaXam,
Brewer and Carter that they may at
tain a reputation national in it's scope
before the end of the year. Carter was
one of the best middle distance men
in the prep and high schools last year
and Brewer was rated the most cap
able Spr1nter. Maxam is not FAR be-
hind Brewer in his ability as a sprint
er. These three men would form the
nucleus of relay which should stand
an excellent SHOW to capture the prep
school championship in the Philadel-
Pima relay games on the last Saturday
| in April.
Up at Central High it is reported
that there is going through the last
stages of development relay team
quite as cana Bile as that which captured
the high school championship in the
Penn relays last spring. over at East
| ern High unwonted activity in track
| sports is noticeable and at least one
runner of more than the average abl-
ity Will represent the Capitol Hill
school-Barr. who won the mile in the
| high school championsh ship meet in 1915.
Tech has big squad in training and
so has Western. The Georgetown Props
Will be represented and proba bly, sew
| eral of the other schools.
Some of the best performances in
years by the track athletes in this sec
| ton are looked for in scholastic ranks,
and, unless something happens, will be
seen. Not in a long while have the
general prospects for successful squads
! in the schools been so promising.
| Besides the regular team trophy. the
Georgetown University track manage
ment has announced that ii wilf give
for it's games February 10 a trophy
for the school scoring the greatest
number of points in the scholastic
tional stimulus to the school squads
to put forth their greatest efforts by
entering their full squads.
| 1t is much to be regretted that two of
the biggest foot ball games of 1916 are
to be played on the same date. The bat
tie between the Army and Navy is to
and the Harvard combat always is
set for the Saturday before Tha nksgiving.
| A great many persons have watched both
! these games, making special efforts to be
present at each, and there will be. con-
siderable questioning next fall on the

LARNED JUST SQUEEZEs IN.
Wilmot Smith Carries Him on to
Nineteenth Green.

PALM BEACH. Fla, February g.
William A. Larned, winner of the quali-
flying round. was pushed to the nine
teenth green yesterday in the second
round of the Lakeworth tournament to
wrest victory from Wilmot II. Smith.
the Oakland golfer. Another feature
was the defeat of Frank Frazier, and
/, by II. Pemberton, Caledonia. 1t looks
as if Pemberton and L.arned will meet
in the final. though Wander Longley,
National, who meets Larned today, has
a good chance to come through.
Smith played a deadly but short game
with few errors. He got the first three
straight. Larned caught him on the
eleventh and it was Seesaw to the sew
enteeuth. where the match was tied
again and stayed SO until the extra
hole. The winner always outdrove his
opponent, but did not putt SO well.

BRAVES MAY SEEK
GR|FF|TH'S PLAYERS
StaIIinqs, Needing a Catcher
and First Baseman, Likely
to Breach a Deal.
AINSMITH AND GANDlL
AVAILABLE FOR TRADE
Bill Donovan Pays Cobb High
Tribute-Nationals to Play at
Richmond April 8.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Manager Griffith is very apt to make
deal or two during the meeting of
the two major leagues in New York
next week. George Stallings not only
wants catcher but If Schmidt, the
first baseman, is sincere he, too, will
quit the Braves and the Miracle Man
well a. a catcher.
Griffith can supply both. for he can
turn over Ainsmith and Gandil. pro-
vided the American League clubs will
waive on this pair. If there are clubs
in the Johnson circuit who want either
Gandil or Ainsmith they will get
chance to make this fact known Wheh
Griffith asks for waivers, should ne get
an offer from Stallings. and then some
other sort of deal might be made
possible.
1t is limited in Chicago that Manager
Rowland will have chat with Grlfhth
during the meeting in the hope OF get
ting Gandil, and there is just a chance
of the local club getting some players
in return who may help the Grifmen
to fill some holes.
The Griffmen are going to play game
at Richmond Monday. April j. rms GATE
was arranged yesterday with Manager
team.
1t develops that first reports as to the
amount of salary that George Stalilnss
will draw from the Boston club for the
next five years, were exaggerated IN
stead of getting $4,000 per season. George
is satisfied with $4,000. 1t seems that
Stallings had signed a contract with GaH-
ney which called for $4,000 per season.
and which expired at the end OF the 1917
campaign When Haughton took ever
the Braves he did not think that Stallings
contract covered a sufficient period. and
he signed him for a five-year period,
and increased his salary $4,000 per year
Bill Donovan the Yankees manager, is
a great admirer of Ty Cobb. He con-
siders him the greatest Of players, and
handed him the following praise the other
DAY:
you know Ty Cobb is not as fast as
he was. He has grown heavier. thicker
in the chest and his legs have lost their
slimness. Yet last year he decided to set
a new base stealing mark and he did it.
If he IS not injured. and cares to, kno"
he will steal 100 bases this sea son.
Il do not believe that any one VIII beat
him out for batting leadership Of the
American League unless he experiences
eye trouble or age slows him UP mate
rally. If any player flashes who can hit
$50 Cobb will hit at least .4J1.
''Ty is an individualist TO a certain ex-
tent, but not enough to hinder his value
to team He loves the. limelignt. and
when he first broke in labOred under the
delusion that he was fighter. The boys
on the Detroit team at the time were
rather handy with their fists and soon
disilIusioned him. AS boxer or rough
and tumble fighter Cobb is the greatest
ball player who ever stepped on dia-
mond.
