WAR WILL NOT
STOP BASEBALL

New York. Feb. S-Some of the mag
mates seem to think that II there is war
with Germany baseball will be severely Z
Injured. But the fact remains that dur
ing the rumpus with Spain the compare
lively small crowds of the Polo Grounds
were due to other causes. The late An
drew Freeman at that time was at log
gerheads with his National League part
ners. He openly declared that he was
trying to kill the game in order to bring
the other magnates to terms. The lack
of interest In the Giants games, there
fore. was the result of premeditation and
naturally the sport in the other National
League cities was affected. But during
that year the New York racetracks en-
toyed phenomenal success. They were
patronized by record-breaking crowds and
the bookmakers in the betting ring ham
died thousands OF dollars. The boxing
clubs, operating under the ill-fated Hor-
ton law, also made money in spite of the
scrap that liberated Cuba. In spite of
the war In Europe racing, cricket box
ing and athletic games have not been
stopped In Great Britain. Racing is very
much alive in Germany and Russia There
is movement on foot to reopen some of
the big race courses in France this year.
For that reason optimists believe that II
there is serious trouble between Uncle
Sam and the Kaiser baseball, racing and
other American pastimes will continue to
interest the public.

OLIN NEVER GAINED
THE AMATEUR TITLE

Charlie Olin. who is at present recog-
nized as the heavyweight champion of
the world, is scheduled to meet DIR. Roll
er, the well-known heavyweight grap-
pier. IN finished bout, at the Lyceum
Theater on next Wednesday night for
the worlds heavyweight honors.
Olin has been booked all over the East
as the heavyweight champion mainly
because many followers of the sport give
him credit for winning the Olympia wrest-
ling championship at Stockholm, during
the last Olympic games.
OHn never won the amateur heavy
weight championship of the world on this
occasion, as he withdrew from the final
because of one of his teammates. whom
he would have been compelled to meet.
After coming through many hard
matches the final of the tourney came
down to three wrestlers. including a Dam
ish grappler, and Olin and his teammate.
The grapplers drew for the final and
Olin was lucky enough to draw the bye.
After his teammate had wrestled two
hours for a victory. Olin refused to take
him on in the condition he was in, and
the judges awarded the decision to his
friend. How many grapplers. heavy or

nine GRID CONTESTS
FOR STATE COLLEGE
College Park Eleven to Face Strongest
Teams in History of Sport.

College Park. Nd. Feb. s.-Games with
princeton and Penn State feature the
football schedule of the Maryland State
College for 1877, announced this morning.
The list of games has yet to be ratified
py the board of directors OF the Athletic
Association, but It probably will stand
as Princeton is to be played on septem-
Der %. the first game Of the season,
and Penn State will be met Novem-
Der
The schedule contains many new teams,
several of those met last fall not being
listed. -Four of the nine's contests will
be played at home and three OF the
teams due to appear at College Park Will
be playing here for the first time. The
list. as whole, is undoubtedly the hard
est ever undertaken by a college in Mary
land
Last fall Maryland State set the pace
for colleges in the State by going out
and playing through a hard schedule with
great success, and those In charge of
athletics have felt emboldened to try for
greater 'laurels for the college.
Following the struggle with Princeton.
at Princeton. Delaware College will come
TO College Park on October 6. The Navy
is to be met on October 13, this game
being played under an agreement made
early in 1916. The second part of the two
year contract with the Virginia Military
Institute will be fulfilled on October 20.
State being booked to play at Lexington
on that date.
Following the game with " NJ. l.. three
contests are scheduled on consecutive Sat
urdays at College Park. Wake Forest
comes here October q. North Carolina A.
and NJ. on November g. and st. Johns
November 10. Wake Forest probably will
furnish more difficult opposition than is
desired just before facing st. Johns and
North Carolina A. and M, but there
were other considerations in scheduling
the contest.
An excellent arrangement has been
made with Penn State. a part OF which
is said to embody a game with that
institution in Baltimore in 1913.
The biggest game of the year, from
a standpoint of local interest, will be
that with Hopkins, scheduled as usual
for Tha nksgiving Day. The schedule:
September 2-Prnceton at Prncetop-
October 6-Delsware College at College Psrf.
October lS-Nayy at Annapolis.
October 0-Virgnia Military Institute at Len
ington, Va.
October 2-wske Forest al Conege Parf

SOUTHERN ROWERS TO
MEET In THIS CITY

Baltimore. Md. Feb. s-The Southern
Rowing Association will meet at the Hotel
Raleigh, Washington, next Saturday at
$50 p. m. This Is the second annual meet
ing of this association and aside from
the election of officers. the committee will
also decide upon the date. place and pro-
gram for the next regatta.
The first regatta was held last year
in Richmond and was a very success
full affair. The association Is one of
the youngest regatta associations of the
country and gives promise of being one
of the most successful. The present Off
GERS. are: Frank DriscolI. president. Ariel
Rowing Club; William e. Crawford, vice
president, Virginia Boat Club: Joseph r.
Manuel, secretary. Arundel Boat Club. and
A. c. Morse, treasurer, Old Dominion
Boat Club.
The Baltimore Oarsmen viii put in a
bid for holding the regatta in this city.
In the event of Baltimore being selected
by the association the date will not be
determined at once, but will be left to
the determination of the regatta commit
tee, which will be appointed at the meet
ing
1t is more than likely that Judge Dris-
coll. the present president of the as
sociatiOn, will not be a candidate for
election, as he is in favor of the office
rotating from year to year. The logical
man would be William z. Crawford, of
the Virginia Boat Club. who is now vice
president of the association. and who dis
played considerable interest in the first
regatta, which was held under the au-
spices Of the Virginia Boat Club.

CENTRAL MEETS TECH
In SCHOOL LEAGUE

There will be two games in the inter
high school basketball series this after
noon in the Y gym, when the two leaders
meet for the most important game of the
season. Central will clash with Tech and
to the winner will most likely go the title,
as both have only lost one game. Should
Tech win it will put the Manual Trainers
in such a position 1t will be hard to dis
lodge them from top honors, while on the
other hand, II Central Is victorious II
will put them in a good position to land
the title.
Central is likely to be without the serv-
ices Of DAILY, the forward, who sprained
his ankle in the game on Tuesday with
the Baltimore City College.
Eastern meets Western and an interest
ing game Is expected, as both teams are
about evenly matched. Eastern showed
a marked improvement in its game with
Business on Tuesday, when 1t defeated
the Stenographers by g. wide margin.
Western is game little team and likely
to give the boys from Capitol Hill a hard
fight for the long end OF the score.

White RATS OPPOSE
BALL PLAYERS UNION
Will Accept Players as individuals,
But Not as a Body.

New York, Feb. s.-Certain diplomatic
moves, supposedly emanating from the
throneroom of David L. Fultz. president
of the Baseball Players Fraternity. with
a view to bringing the heads of organized
baseball into parley. gave an intimation
yesterday that the strike movement was
not moving so smoothly as its advocates
would have the general public believe.
This suspicion was confirmed with the re-
turn yesterday of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor.
"The baseball players have not yet
been granted charter said the big
boss Of unionism in reply to a point-blank
question. "One has not yet been denied
them" he supplemented. "Thefr appli-
cation for a charter is still a matter of
correspondence. which may later be
cleared up"
Mr.. Gompers would say no more. But
from another power of unionism. who
did not wish to have his identity dis
closed, together with the voluntary con-
tribution of one high In the executive
council of the White Rats, the whole
story came out
unqualidfiedly final that the Baseball
Players Fraternity will not be granted a
charter by the American Federation of
Labor. Why? Simply because the White
Rats, an integral part of the federation.
claim Jurisdiction over the ballplayers
and object to their receiving a charter
of their own.
The White Rats are willing to allow
the ball players to join their (the Rats)
organization IL they so desire. So far
neither Fultz nor his flock has shown
any ready disposition to take this step.
1t must be remembered, though, the
players will be accepted into the ranks OF
the Rats as individuals, not as a class.
The vaudevillians insist upon the right
of certain determinations.
The Rats defend their air OF animosity
through the claim that the ball player
comes under the same heading as the
performer; that baseball is an amuse-
ment Just like a variety show.

MIDDLE FOOTBALL STARS
ARE FORCED TO RESIGN

Annapolis, Nd, Feb. s.-The Naval
Academy football prospects for next year
received a blow between the eyes when
the designations of two regular guards
Arthur Gilman, OF New York, and Fred
erick Denfeld, of Minnesota-were asked
as a result OF scholastic deficiencies at the
recent examinations.
Gilman was in his second year, and
played at Cornell and Colgate before en-
tering the navy. He also rowed on the
crew Denfeld was a member OF the new
fourth class. but developed into a splen-
cid guard. The line was already hard NJ
by the graduation Of three Of its best
men, and the loss of its guards is a seri-
Gus one.

the baseball team. the largest batch in
the history Of the Naval Academy, re-
ported to Lieut. Ralph Z Needham. one
