HANDICAP PROTEST
TO COME UP LATER
Coaches Decide to Watch Future
Meets More Closely for
FavoritiSm.

Washington track coaches have de-
cided to rest their protest against
what was claimed in the Georgetown
meet as "favoritism to Johns Hopkins
athletes" until later in the season.
A meeting was held behind closed
doors in the Munsey building last
night. The coaches on hand main
tanned that a repetition of last Sat-
urday's handicapping was undesirable
and that they would rest their case
against Handicapped England until it
was seen what the future would
bring out in the Johns Hopkins Fifth
Regiment meet and the George Wash
ington meet.
Opinions E1pressed.
Opinions were expressed as ~ the
way in which Washington athletes
have been heavily handicapped in the
past and the free distribution OF
yards to Baltimore men and particu-
IarIy those from Johns Hopkins.
1t was said that the handicapping
had taken considerable interest from
the indoor meets here and that as
Washington colleges furnished the
bulk OF the athletes in the various
meets in this section it was to be re-
GREETED that they were not taking
part in the meets as in other years.
VIII Say Nothing.
None OF the few coaches taking
part in last nights meeting would
say what action is contemplated. 1t
is thought that some of the coaches
will be put TO work checking up past
performances of athletes with a view
toward preparing a report to be sub
mitted to the A A. u.
Georgetown, Catholic University.
George Washington, Central High
School, and Mckinley Manual Train
ing School will probably send ath-
letes to the Hopkins-Fifth Regiment
games in Baltimore Saturday, at
which time the various races will be
looked over with an eye toward fu-
ture action in the matter OF handi-
Gaping.

Sherwood Magee's real complaint
against the Braves is that he has to

Stallings tells him the kind OF balls

As a member OF the Phillies, Magee
had q wide latitude in this respect
and was known as one of the best
sluggers in the business. With the
Braves, on the other hand, Magee
had done poor work at the bat.
Hence his kick against George STALL

Hard Luck Again Hits Team
When Solomon Springs
Charley Horse.

Hard luck has again hit the Gen.

Daily went down with a sprained
ankle just before the recent Tech
game, and now Coach Metzler reports
Sam Solomon, the only dependable
basket shooter on the team, as being
laid up with a charley horse.

both DAILY and Solomon out or Solo,
mon crippled up the Central team
will be up against a stiff PROPOSE
tion.
Lost In Early Game.
The Episcopal High players defeat
ed Central in the other contest play
ed this season. At that time Cen
trail was without the services OF Ross
White.
Coach Metzler has never had .
chance to use his full strength this
season. The second teams of Central
and Western will battle about before

Coach Martin, of the Manual Train
ers. has already won the title, and
wanted to give the manual trainers
chance to see what q title game
looked like. Business got to the
front at the start OF the game, and
the first half ended with a score of
8 to 4 in favor OF the Stenograph-
ers. Toward the close OF the game
Coach Martin rushed the first string
players on the floor. The score was
tied up but Business drew away to
a IL to II count.
Title To Tech Team.
Despite the loss OF two games
Techs combination has won the title.
Both losses have been to Business.
and the Stenographers can claim that
although they did not win the title
they got second place, and were un-
defeated by the winners.
Central was third, Western fourth,
and Eastern fifth. Twenty games
were played by the five teams. and
Tech won all its games save those

The really great ball players should
shout with JOY at the passing Of the
Fultz fraternity. Now, under the
wiser guidance OF the magnates, the
mediocre performer will never receive
more money than the star.
Grover Cleveland Alexander COM
plains that pitchers OF less value are
getting more money. For instance.
POP Perritt, of the Giants, draws
down $4,000. with the Cardinals he
collected $4,000. On jumping to the
Feds, the Giants agreed to give him
$4,000 IL he quit the Feds and played
with New York. OF course, he accept
ed.
Meanwhile, Alexander, worth five
Perritts, was toiling for the PhilIles
FOR a salary around $6,50O, including
bonus for winning twenty-five
games. So Alexander comes out with
his demand for $4,000, very natural
ly.
This system of paying ball players
was brought in by the Federal League,
as every one knows. In the future
the real star of the game will get the
big money, while the ordinary per-
former will be paid according to his
real worth. This was the custom
before the Federakteague came into
the field, and 1t e the only custom
which will make baseball the great
national sport.
The big indoor meet Of the Meadow
brook Club, OF Philadelphia, on March
10. is attracting unusual attention
this spring. Why not? All the best
athletes in the East. with the cream
OF the West, will compete. Johnny
Overton, Yale; Joie Ray, Illinois, A.
c.; We're Windnagle, Cornell; Joe
Simpson, Missouri A. c., and Mike
Devanney, Millrose A. c., will be
among those present.
The Meadowbrook meet last year
drew 17,109 persons, exclusive OF
school children who were admitted
free. 1t had 1,065 athletes and sixty
five clubs in competition. No other
indoor meet in the country draws
more than 1000 spectators and SO it
is simple to see that Meadowbrook is
the greatest athletic club in the
United States.

ALEXANDER READY
FOR CIRCUS GAME
Tells Promoter He Is Likely to
Accept S35, 900 Offer
For Season.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-It cost Bill
Pickens just S12 telephone tolls to
get Grover Cleveland Alexander's
verbal promise that he would give
his $35 900 proposition serious con-
sideration, and that he probably
would accept.
Pickens has offered ALEX the
Great" a thirty-five-week contract at
81 900 per week TO appear with cir
Gus. The fact that President Baker
is still refusing to pay Alexander
$4,000 a year may cause the Philly
thunderbolt to follow wilIsrd's foot
steps.
Pickens left today for the East TO
have a personal conference with
Alexander, who, it was stated, had
suggested to Pickens that he sign
either Jimmy Archer or Rfllifer as
a battery partner.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2l.-Grover
Cleveland Alexander has refused a
two-year contract for $4,000 and.
unless he and President Baker come
to ar agreement within a day or so,
he will leave for his home.
That circus offer is on the level"
said the Phillies' great pitcher today,
but I'm a baseball player and pre-
fer to remain in the game. However.
I'm determined TO get my money. l
do not think my salary demands are

District of Columbia, acting for ant
by the direction Of the president anC
in accordance with said act of congress
and rules and regulations prescribed
pursuant thereto, shall apportion thu
quota so apportfoned to such state, ter
ritOry or district and shall cOmmuni
cate to each local board established
in such state, territory or district no
tfce of the net quota to be Furnished
by such board, and such net quotas
shall thereupOn be furnished by the re
spective local boards as required by
said act of congress and rules and reg
ulations prescribed pursuant thereto
In computing the number Of men tt
be required from the various state:
the government put to the credit OF
each state every man 1t now has Ii
the National Guard and every man Il
has contributed since April l as G
war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army Of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave a gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was com
puted by checking off the number OF
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number Of mer
given by the state to the regular army
since April /.
The apportiOnment was made on the
basis Of an estimated grand total for
the United States and it's possessions
of 105, $4,000 inhabitants.
This is a paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
Of quotas by population, but which
eQualizes in a great measure the bur
den that is to fall upon the 1859 ex'
emption districts.
Total Of 1,152,985.
Each will furnish under this appor-
tionment the men its total registration
would indicate as a fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop.
ulation Of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas is T.
1885 men.
Credit Is given to the various states
for a total of 465, 1886 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
ulars, making the total net quota for
all states 687,OOO men.
Illinois, which was the first Zig state
to fill it's quota for the regular army
reduced it's gross quota of 1904 to
81 1853.
