VIRGINIA Defeated
BY CATHOLIC QUIN1
Brooklanders Outplay Charlottesville
Tossers at Every Stage of Game
and Win by n to II.

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 22.-VirginIa
lost to Catholic here tonight by the score
of q to H. She was out-battled out
tossed. out-dribbled, in fact, beaten at
every stage OF the game. Catholics field
generalship was superb the locals not
being able to fathom 1t. while the visi-
tors intercepted Virginia's passes with
ease.
Gallivan, Cartwright and Keegan for
Catholic put up star games, while Luck
played the best of Virginia. Neither team
did phenomenal tossing, but Catholic
passing was superb.
The game started with a rush for
Catholic, who made goal after goal. Vir-
ginia had many tries, all in vain: the
first half ended: Catholic, Is; Virginia, s.
The second half was not much better for
the locals, who put up their most
wretched game of the season tonight.
Many technical fouls were protested by
the players, while personal fouls were
frequent, Keegan being put out of the
game for this reason. Summary:

JACK O'BRIEN OFFERS
$50,000 FOR BIG BOUT

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 2.-"Philsdel-
phia" Jack O'Brien, former wizard Of the
prize ring. has entered the field for the
proposed bout between worlds champion
Jess Willard and Frank Moran. Jack
called on Jack Curley in New York with
an offer by a local syndicate OF $4,000
for the privilege of stalking the Willard
Moran six-round battle. and 1t is under
stood that this same syndicate Is willing
to better the OFFER by $500 in order to
assure: PhiladeIphians the heavyweight
bout.
To bring together this great bill will
require much work on the part of Pro-
moter O'Brien, who is IN complete charge
Of the arrangements. But Promoter
O'Brien is confident that It can he done
and the only thing standing in his way.
he says, is the permission of the city
officials to rent Convention Hall for this
purpose and Curley's acceptance OF the
local syndicate's offer. Before going to
New York O'Brien did not expect much
announcement from the promoters of the
big city, but averred he was In a posi-
ton to outbid them.

POTOMAC SMOKER TO
BE HELD TUESDAY

On Tuesday night the Potomac Boat
Club will hold its first smoker Of the
season and from reports current 1t Is
going to be some party.
Lieut. Bill Powell has mailed to all
members Of the club a literary effort
equal to the classics of Dickens urging
the members to be on hand for the great
event
He Is not advertising what the special
events OF the evening will be but warns
all members to be on hand with a strong
constitution and a large capacity for
things both amusing and substantial.
As he puts it "Cloaks of dignity and
hats of discretion had best be left in
the locker room" He also insist upon
wives and sweethearts being left at home
on this suspicious occasion
Lieut.. Bill advises that It will be "a
great opportunity to break all new year
resolution"

POINTERS FOR HAUGHTON
ON NEW BASEBALL JOB

Ring Lardner has issued a list Of ia lets
for Percy Haughton, Harvard football
coach. who has become president of the
Braves, to study. They are:
No. HE will find no Bates College nor
University Of Maine in the National
League
No. He cannot leave MaranviIle
Evers and Rudolph upon the side lines
until the last week OF the season and let
subs play the other seven-eighths of the
schedule.
No. 3-He cannot lose bunch of
games early. in the year and then claim
the championship because he happened
to beat New York some Saturday in Sep
tember.
No. 4+If he doesn't like an umpire
he cannot cut him of his list as Mr.
Tener might have something to say
about it.
No. 5-If the PhIllies or Cubs should
act rudely. Haughton cannot drop then-
of the schedule just like they were Penn
State or Dartmouth. Nor can he droI
them because they are going to be too
strong the following season.
No. Sand he cannot put up a holler
because the Cubs play Cy Williams, who
comes from Notre Dame. which have
different eligibility rules than they have
at Harvard

Gallaudet was eliminated from the

and rough game by a count of 40 to Ss.
The Bun and Blue team jumped out in

but the Baltimore quint finally got go
ing and. forged TO the lead, never TO be
headed. The first half ended with the
visitors in the van by a count Of q to IL.
In the second half the Loyola five we're
too anxious and pulled numerous fouls,
which gave the locals a chance to draw
within one point. only to see Schnerick
cage two difficult goals from floor.
Capt. Rockwell was banished from the
fray in the second half for committing
four personal fouls. At this stage Of the
game the Buff and Blue quint was going
at top speed and gave promise Of over
taking the lead established by the Wis
itors, A. Wengered. who substituted,
failed to keep Schnerick covered, and
the LoyoIa forward again put his team
in front with a safe lead.
Schenerick was easily the feature of
the game, as he was all over the foo,
and brought applause from the fans by
his wonderful dribbling and shooting.
Corcoran. of the visitors. and Rockwell,
for the locals, were constantly in the
limelight The score.

Wisconsin Representative Will
Introduce Measure In the
House Tomorrow.
Is SURE 1T WILL PASS
Claims the Manly Art Of Self-Defense
Not as Brutal as
Football.
BY JOHN A DUGAN.

Ten-round boxing bouts to be held by
chartered clubs Of the District of
Columbia, and governed by an athletic
commission selected by the District Com
missioners. is the subject of a bill. which
will be placed before the House OF Rep
resentstives tomorrow morning.
Representative William J. Cary, Of
Wisconsin, also on the District Com
mittee, is the father of this bill and in
talking with the writer on the subject
said:
"I feel confident that not only VIII
my boxing bill pass the House, but the
Senate as well. and then be presented
to the District Committee for final
action which will be favorable.
Washingtonians want boxing. and Will
patronize the sport IL II is handled
properly. In my bill have made II i'm
possible for mushroom organizations to
exist The sport will be under direct
supervision of a commission and licenses
issued only TO such clubs as are repu-
table.
I do not consider boxing any near
as brutal as football. believe that
matches between well trained athletes
will have a beneficial effect upon the
young men of Washington.
While / was sheriff of Milwaukee a
similar bill was introduced in our State
The manly game of self-defense has
thrived in that State because II is handled
by competent officials"
Representative Cary's boxing bill
certainly covers just about all the ground
necessary to protect the public. boxers
and promoters OF clubs and II Is the
opinion Of many Washingtonions with
whom the writer has talked that II the
bill successfully passes, that only good
can result therefrom.
In the first place In order to put a
boxing club in the Capital the promoter
must put up a bond of 1900. must be a
resident OF the District for one year or
more. and pay annual dues amounting
TO 800
The District Commissioners in naming
an athletic commission must guarantee
an annual expenditure Of $500 Of which
amount the secretary receives not more
than 81 500.
Inspectors appointed must attend all
exhibitions and see that the rules are
upheld also that a proper accounting Is
made of box receipts.
No-decisions rob a spsrrtng exhibition
of all semblance of a prize fight, which
is a good thing.
The Y. M c. A. and other local or
ganizations can hold amateur boxing ex-
hibitions under this bill and are exempt
from paying yearly dues, but on the
other hand such exhibitions must con-
form with the laws.
The Distritc was its last prize fight in
1895. when Lieut.. Ames, OF the Metro
politan police, jumped into the ring al
the old Lyceum Theater and stopped the
match between Mike Sullivan and Fatty
Kenney. both local boys.
Until 1895 boxing was permitted in the
District OF Columbia. but unfortunately
CONGRESS- law that boxing
sparring matches or prize fights were to
be held in any Territory of the United
States, and ii was ruled that the Ma
tionsl Cspital. as 1t could not be q State.
must he placed in the same category as
Territory.

Blue and Gray Quint Is Unable to

Annapolis, Md. Jan. 22.-Unable to cope
with the more sustained attack display cd
by their opponents. Georgetown lost its
annual basketball game to the Annapolis
Midshipmen this afternoon. by a count
OF . to Is. The game was well con-
tested, however, but was of the kind
where individual brilliance could not out
shine concerted team play. as Kelly an /
Olone of the visiting quintet performed
In fine style, especially the former.
The Middies set a rapid pace in the
early stages and for time it seemed as
though they would register \ big score
but the Hiltoppers gathered themselves
together and finised the first half with
a margin of only four points against
them. But in the second half. the sailor
lads had fairly plain sailing. Calhoun

TO KEEP PROVIDENCE.
Lannin Has Decided Not to Sell
Club This Year.

Boston. Jan. "a. ]. Lannin has
decided not to sell the Providence club
at present. He says he may hold it for
this year anyway.
Duf Gammons. the old Brown foot
ball star. came up from Providence pre-
pared to buy the club, but was told
that the owner of the Grays was in
clined to hold on.
Providence fans were lukewarm to-
ward the Grays last year. They sus-
pected Lannin of favoring the Buff
falo club, in which he was also inter
ested. over Providence. They hailed
the prospect of local ownership" with
interest.
However. Lannin has convinced lead
ing Providence fans that he gave the
Grays all possible support and encour'
agement during the stormy war times
and he is now so much encouraged
over the 1916 outlook that he has de-
cided to hold on. and Gammons was sc
informed yesterday.

Pommern to Race Again.

London, Jan. 22--Solly Joel. the owner
of Pommern. who has just returned from
South Africa. has decided not to retire
his crack racehorse from the track. At
the close of last season he was booked
for the stud with his honors thick upon
him. for 1t will be remembered that by
winning the triple crown of English rae
ing last year he Joined the select few
that have won the Two Thousand
Guineas. the Derby and the st. Leger
The greatness Of Pommern has led rae
ing men often to wonder what Is his pur-.
chase value. Joel has no idea of selling
him; in fact, he could not be bsught. But
the best judges have fixed his value In the
neighborhood of 100000.
