Even Break at 5. c.
Although the Savages lost the last
game at Sioux City by the score OF 10
10 5, they got an even break on the
series and had the honor OF stopping
the long winning streak of the GasPar
tribe Until the first defeat aurnlh
istered by the SavaGes the Indians mao
won eight games in a row and lCokeo
like they were trying to make a torceo
march to the top.
Ineffective pitching on the part OF
13urweIl. the Goodland phenom, was
responsible for the Monday defeat.
The Savages started the game by max
ing a pair of runs in the first inning
and they held their two run LEAD uhtli
the fourth when BurweH weakene1
and allowed his opponents to hunch
enough hits to count four runs
In the first of the fifth the SaVages
tied the count, but the Indians were
not long in breaking it when they
finally got to bat and the two runs
they made were enough to land them
safely, but for good count they came
hack in the last of the eighth and
made four more.
One in Ninth.
The Savages almost got rally start
cd in the ninth inning. Bugs Gro
Yer, who pitched for the 500 and who
did a neat job of trimming his former
teammates, allowed DEBATE to get his
hat on one and the Savage shortstop
pushed it out for three bases.
sschweitzer then singled and counted
DcFate. but His Bugship frightened
and ended the engagement without
further damage.
~ Only one other game was played in
the Western league Monday. Denver,
st Des Moines. took the IzZies into
camp to 6 in a 1O-inning engage
1nent. the feature of which was the
pitching of Third Baseman Dyer. who
relieved Gaut in the first inning and
held the Izzies to two runs.

Ex-FEDS ARE NOT SETTING
THE P. C. LEAGUE ON FIRE

Ex-Fed players are making no
particular hit on the Pacific coast
either. according to report What
ever the Coast league moguls may
have thought when importing the
Feds they all seem agreed now
that they have done little to raise
the class of playing. Chief John
son, Jack Quinn, Bobby Vaughn
and Jack Dalton have none of
them shown the pace looked for
and the best ball in the league is
being played by youngsters who
are coming ahead and not by any
ex-Fed leaguers.

KAUFF GETTING IN BAD.
His BeIch Prompted by Hope of =
Theatrical Engagement.

.Outfielder Benny kauff. recently pur-
chased from Harry Sinclair for the
Giants, has shown evidences of a re-
fractory nature. He threatens to hold
out for a new contract with the New
York club.
Messrs. Hampstead and McGraw ar'
willing to make good the terms OF the
contract they entered into with the al
legged Ty Cobb of the outlaws last spring
Under these circumstances 1t Is difficult
to see where Kauff has the slightest
kick.
Kaufr, however, never did appear par
ticularly strong above the shoulders
Three times in one season he stole ar
occupied base. He has been foolisf
enough to permit lot of self-appointec
managers to meddle in his affairs. In
deed. there is a suspicion that his present
belch has been prompted by the hope OF
theatrical engagement on the part OF
his stafr of handlers.
The management Of the Giants Is no:
losing any sleep over Kauff's attitude.
Benny must play at the Polo Grounds
or nowhere. There is no other line of
business where he can earn such reve
nue.. With the outlaw field eliminated
the sooner Mr.. Kauff decides to settle
down and earn his pay the better OFF he
will be.

Charles Weeghman, Former

Takes Charge.
BRESNAHAN'S CASE UP

Chicago. Jan. 20.-The Cubs this aft
ernoon were officially transferred to
Charles Weeghman and the club
went" to its new home on the north
side. A slight delay in the matter
came when II was learned that the
contract for $4,000 was made out to
the wrong party.
1t was made payable to Charles p.
Taft, when ii should have been made
payable to the Corn Exchange Bank.
This is said to have been unnoticed.
since the money is to be paid over TO
Charles Murphy. who does all his deal
ings through the Corn Exchange Bank.
There were no arguments or bitches
and weeghman, John X. Tener. presi-
dent of the National League, and
Charles Schmalstig, Tafts secretary
soon closed the matter.
Harry Ackerland, Of Pittsburgh. who
owns the 10 per cent interest In the club,
formerly held by Frank Chance, was
present. .>weeghman offered to permit him
to retain his interest which he bought
for $4,000, or to accept $4,000 and
step out. Ackerland decided to stick
with the Cubs.
Immediately following the transfer
President Thomas. former Cub presi-
dent, rendered his resignation. And
other attaches of the old Cub regime
were paid OFF In full.

Football or Nothing" Up
To Students at c.. w. u.
Activities In Sports VIII End
Unless Undergraduates
Pledge Support.
FIVE HUNDRED SUBSCRIBE
BY ARTHUR wREsN.


The mass meeting held last night at
the George Washington University. the
plan which the faculty has proposed for
the renewing Of football as one of the
university sports was formally given TO
the student body. together with the con-
ditions which the faculty has put on
this sport
Preceding the meeting circulars of con
tributon were distributed among the
students which called for a nominal sum
Of which half is TO go 70 the betterment
OF athletics in general and the balance
Of which will go to certain other, school
activities as well as for limited amount
OF time in the hospital free.
FlVe hundred students pledging them
selves to subscribe to this plan is neces-
sary for the sport to be renewed and
until these five hundred have come
through not only the football branch
OF sport but the other branches of ath-
letlcs as well will be discontinued Feb
ruary u has been named as the final
date for the FIVE hundred pledges to be
In the hands of Prof. McNemar, faculty
director of athletics. and from the pres
ent outlook the five hundred, IL not
more will be in long before that time
Two hundred and fifty Of these pledges
were handed in yesterday which speaks
FOR Itself and II the other amount Of
the same number cannot be gotten in
during the remaining days, then. sports
will end as far as the Hatchetites are
concerned.
Dean Fraser. Of the University, made
it clear that unless football is added to
the sport activities at this time then the
as basketball and track will be discon-
tinued
The fact was made clear that even
should the football plan as now put
forth by the faculty be carried through
the schedule which could be obtaiped
would not be the best possible under
other circumstances.
Owing to the fact that all schedules
of the colleges of George washington's
caliber are either closed at present or
else there is limited number OF open
dates which must be gotten at once, IL
the game is TO flourish at the school
Following suggestions from individual
students, the question Of the annual
track meet was brought before the stu
dents and Professor McNemar said that
unless he could obtain ten men for the
track team before February IL then the
meet now scheduled for March would be
called or
1t would be absurd, according to facts.
II George Washington ran a track team
and could not furnish enough contes-
tants from their institution and those in
charge realizing this are not bacl1wa I'd
making their thoughts clear to the stu
dents. This question has been practi-
cally settled as two trial workouts for
the team will be held on February / and
? at the Y. NJ. c. A gymnasium and
then, from the interest displayed at that
time, the fact as to whether the meet
will be run on as per schedule will be
made plain,
Until the students at George Washing
on show the faculty that they wan,
