CORNELL RUNNERS
ARE HARD AT WORK

Ithaca, n. z, Jan. l5.-The Cornell
track team under Jack Moakley began
its concentration this week for the an
nual drive for the intercollegiate track
and field championship meet next spring
Most OF the seasoned material mas al
ready reported and a large number of
recruits anxious to obtain regular places
In the ranks are also at work. MCakley
has considerably more than 100 men out
and after first term examinations bis
squad will exceed 2U, cs track has be-
come poular since Cornell began the
habit OF winning intercollegiate track
titles.
OF Cornen's forty-three points in the
last meet, all but fifteen arc represented
IN the university now, so the outlook CT
another successful year is bright. The
Ithacans lost McCutcheon, the weight
man, who scored seven points last June
Speiden, who got four in the mile; In
gersoll, three In the century. and IRISH
one in the mile. They retain Richards,
Potter, Hofrmire, Starr, Windnagle, Foss,
Gubb and Lukens. Moreover, Moakley
had a number of second-string men a
year ago who should develop into good
varsity stun, and the freshmen team of
1915 contained some fair material.

CALHOUN FEATURES

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 15.-The basket
ball team of Catholic University, of Wash
ington, put up hard and plucky fight
against the Midshipmen here this aft
ernoon, but lost out by a nose The final
count was q to 19.
The teams played to a tie in the first
half, the score at the end of the period
standing to 9. II looked as though the
Catholics would ultimately pull off a vic
tory, because in spite of the score they
showed little more edge in team play
than the sailor lads.
Both teams were guilty of a number OF
fouls, and Navy's victory was virtually
due to Calhoun's more accurate shooting
from the foul circle. He Gagged the ball
twice from this quarter in the last two
minutes of play. and the points thus reg
istered proved the telling factor in the
victory.
1t was a hard game for the Senators to
lose. Both teams had the same number
Of field goals, six. Calhoun, Moran and
Wilkes were the shining lights for the
Middies, while Capt. Keegan, Cartwright.

WALTER
Percy Haughton Conspicuous
Figure in World of Sports

Not in years has the sale of a major
league baseball club attracted the atten-
ton of that resulting from the transfer
OF the Boston Braves, worlds champions
of 1914, to a coterie OF Boston sports
men and capitalists headed by Percy D.
Haughton.
Haughton, who has been a conspicuous
figure in the world of sports for a num-
Der of years through his position as heao
coach of football at Harvard, where he
has drawn a large salary, was on Friday
elected president Of the new holding
company.
He will be president in fact as well as
in name, and plans devoting his entire
attention, unless it be during the football
season, to the Braves and baseball affairs.
It may be authoritatively stated that
Haughton has no intention of disturbing
the policy or heads of the organization.
He has long been a personal friend and
admirer of George T. Stallings, who will
be given free rein in the playing end Of
the clubs affairs, while Walter E. Hap
good will continue in charge of the
clubs business matters.
Haughton will succeed former President
James E. Gaffney as a member Of the
board of directors of the NationA4
League, The new head of the Braves is
a Boston man, a Harvard graduate, ana
that his past experience in the sporting
world has by no means been confined to
football is indicated by the fact that
while at Harvard he played on the var
sity nine and was captain In. 1899, his
senior year.
Last spring Haughton filled in with
out compensation as coach Of the Har-
ward varsity nine, and Immediately upon
consenting to do the Harvard coaching
for the balance Of the year induced Man

EvERs WOULD QUIT BRAVES.
Wants to Go Back to Tinker In Chi
cago and Play with Cubs.

Troy. N. Y, Jan. 15.-Johnny Evers,
second baseman Of the Boston Nationals,
said here last night he expected to play
second base next season for the Chicago
Nationals.
A message from Joe Tinker at Chicago
stated that Evers would be welcomed
again in that city and that Tinker would
go back to shortstop again, II he can
secure Evers, in an effort to revive the
combination that was so important a
cog in the old pennant winning ma
chine.
Evers thinks he has been a much
abused man in the East and that last
summer he was a target for nearly all
the mana gers in the league. He further
states that he has lost his best friend,
President Gaffney, of Boston, and he
fears there will be breakers ahead under
the Haughton regime.
''If don't play every game this sea-
son." says Evers. ''it will not be because
I do not try, for Il am determined to
give the National League the kind OF
ball 1t wants from me. From the state
want me. With conditions as they now
are / am going to start early and be
prepared for the inevitable which is soon
to come.
"I am near home in Boston and am in
fine with the public here and hate to
leave. At the same time for the good
of the league / love, but which does not
love me, / will sacrifice all Of this II
1t can be arranged so 1 can go to Chi

College basketball quint defeated the
Gallaudet fve tonight in the Richmond
Market Armory by the score Of 46 to "a,
despite the fact that Loyola's new CEN
ter man was not in the lineup.
The game was fast throughout, replete
with fast passing and superb shots from
field and foul. The work OF Scheurich,
Loyoia's star forward, was the feature
of the evening, having scored 20 OF 10y
ola's 10 points. Corcoran was also in
great form. missing only three fouls IN
fifteen tries.
Although the work of Ulrich, Loyolas
former big center, was missed at times,
the work of the Calvert street machine
was perfect, and the accuracy Of play
was all that could be desired.
The Gallaudet players were not up to
former standard. a much closer score be-
ing expected by the followers OF the
Jesuit team.
A wenger, left guard for Gallaudet,
excelled for the mutes, scoring four goals
from field, which was the greatest num-
Der made by an Individual player of the
