SINCLAIR NOT IN DEAL.
Former Federal League Owner Says
He Is Out of Base Ball.

NEW YORK. January 1o.-"I guess
am through with base bail. I haven't
enough money to huy club"
This assertion was made last night
by Harry F. Sinclair. one Of the chief
hackers of the Federal League, when
asked IL he had become associated with
James E. Gaffney in a merger to pur-
chase the New York National League
club.
The Oklahoma oil magnate declared
he had given up all hopes of buying his
way into organized base ball, because
the prices demanded for the clubs on
the market were beyond the scope OF
his bank account.
Sinclair was reluctant at first to deny
his reported association with CARNEY.
but he made the positive assertion that
there was no truth in the rumor.
When Harry Hampstead, president OF
the Giants, was asked some time ago II
the club were for sale, he said: Yes,
to any one who will pay our price" APP
parently this sum comes high when
Mr.. Sinclair cannot purchase, for he is
reported to be rated high among the
millionaires of the west.

BY a. C. BYRD.

Local college basket ball teams are
scheduled for many contests this week.
Georgetown, George Washington and
Catholic University are each TO figure
in two games, the first of which will be
played tonight at Georgetown. This
week is the real beginning of the sea-
| sons list of combats.
The first game of the week is to TAX
place tonight at Georgetown, with New
York University as the opposing quint.
That the Hilltoppers will have opposi-
tion enough is evident from the fact
that the New Workers have victories to
their credit over the Army, Navy and
Cornell. The Navy was defeated last
Saturday at Annapolis in grueling
conflict by a margin of two baskets,
and any quint that wins from the
Midshipmen must be real basket ball
team.
- The next games on the list take
place Thursday night, George Washing
ton University being screduled to ap-
pear at Georgetown and Gettysburg
College to meet Catholic University.
The last mentioned contest viii be
played at the Arcade. George Wash
ington must improve it's passing game
if it is to have an even chance to win
from the Blue and Gray. Just how
strong Gettysburg is cannot be made
known, as there is no basis OF conpafl :
son with any of the local fves, but If
the team is up to the standard in bas-
ket ball set by the college in other
sports it should prove capable of CIV
ing the Brooklanders all they are
looking for.
Saturday Georgetown is not booked
for a game. but Catholic University
goes to Annapolis to play the Navy.
and George Washington will meet the
University of Virginia at Charlottes-
VILE. C. L. and G. w. L. will both be
lucky to hold their opponents to real
close scores. The Navy team is strong
and it is playing on its own floor;
Virginia also is said to be very capa-
BILE, and it will be at home in gym
ma sium the peculiarities of which
make victory for a visiting team
very, very difficult.

by the graduation of several players.
