GROVER ALEXANDER
TURNS DOWN OFFER
TO co ONSTAGE

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander, star of the Cubs
pitching staff for 1918, prefers his
vacation to appearing in vaudeville
for twenty weeks at $500 a week.
Anyway, that's what ne told a thea
trical agent here who made him this
handsome offer
I'm sorry" replied Alexander, but
It will be impossible for me to ac-
cept your offer. l must go home i'm
mediately, an important engage
ment"
But, Mr.. Alexander, you're passing
up $500 for twenty weeks" urged
the agent.
Yes, so I'm aware, but I'm not
an actor. ! think acting is q profess
sion requiring experience quite as
much as baseball requires it. 1 al
ways look forward to my vacation,
for that means hunting. So I'll have
to turn you down." was the final re-
ply OF the great pitcher.

NO JOURNEYS ON HAND
FOR GOLFERS TOMORROW

There will be no Christmas day
matches for golfers at the local club
here tomorrow. For the first time in
several years the golfers wiz be
without their usual holiday matches.
Snowy courses and frozen greens
have made no appeal to the devotees
of the game and the nineteenth hole
will be the popular resting place OF
those who are inclined.
Few players have ventured over the
Chevy Chase course. while at Colum-
bia not q single golfer has ventured
a round in two weeks. The Wash
ington Golf and Country Club course
will be deserted tomorrow unless the
weather moderates greatly.

Georgetown Props, Army and Navy
Preps and Maryland State College
have failed to elect captains for their
football teams for next season. The
GEORGETOWN lads are expecting to
choose their leader after the holidays.
Maryland state has inauGIIrated a
new custom in announcing that it will
hold no election until next fall on ac-
count of unsettled conditions. Coach
Byrd had but one regular from last
season who returned this fall and for
this reason will hold out until 1918 for
an election.
Never Choose In Fall.
The Army and Navy Props never
elect a captain until the faIl. There
are so many boys going and coming at
the Connecticut Avenue School that
the athletic authorities there have
decided to hold fall elections instead
OF hold-over elections.
Two college teams have elected
captains. Tommy Whelan, George
towns crack end, has been selected to
lead the Hilltoppers for next season.
GaIIaudet has elected T. w. Osborne
as next years captain.
