Start sat Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 5a-The
Statewide campaign to secure H'gisIa-
tion for abolishing racetrack betting
in Maryland was launched in A.lnapo-
lis yesterday at a public meeting
held in the Republic Theater. OrganI-
cations are to be formed in every

should be held i'm the State ca3 ital.
Major Hugh II. Riley, of Annapolis,
presided and the principal speaker
was Lloyd Wilkinson. member of the
house Of delegates from Ball imore
city.
1t is proposed by those beh bld the

WILL REVIVE GAME
FOR CUBAN ROOTERS
Contests will Be Curtain-Rais-
ers for Racing at ORR
entail Park.

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 5.-Baseball
is being revived here and by next
season it is expected that all the old
interest in the game will be restored.
Hans Lobert, of the New York Giants.
came down here to spend the winter,
and 1t did not take him long to get
Harry Fabian, curley Brown, and
Joe Massaguer stirred up on the ball
question.
Until last fall Cuba had not been
without baseball for many years
Then old Almendares Park was cut
up into buildings, lots and there was
no other suitable lot. Now a dia-
mond has been laid out at Oriental
Park, inside the race track, ana
games will start at once and continue
for two months. Next season grand
stand and bleachers will be erected.
VIII Have -Four Teams.
Four teams will contest in the reg
ular season, the White Sox, Red Sox,
.Larianaos, and OrientaIs, and in the
make I'D of the mines will be many
players prominent in the States, in
Guiding Mique Gonzales, Armando
Marsans, Emilio Palmero, Rodriguez
iLugue, Almeida, Acosta, the two Cal
yos. and about forty others who have
been seen in New York.
Two Of the mines will be composed
of colored players and two OF white
men. and the scheme is to run things
on the line of organized baseball. The
league will be known as the CUBAN
American Baseball League, with II.
ID. Brown, president; Hans Lobert,
vice president, and Joe Massaguer, sec
retary. Brown is the well known rae
ing man, Lobert is an infielder OF
/ the New York baseball club OF the
National League, and Massaguer Is
sporting editor of La Nacion. The lat
ter also is a member Of the Baseball
Writers Association, and once took a
plunge as a magnate, taking the Ha-
vana Reds to the United states in
1915.
Will BE Curtain RHlSers.
On days when there is racing the
games will be played as curtain rails
ers, and on Mondays. when there is
no racing, dOuble-headers Will be
staged.
Mique Gonzales, OF the st. Louis Car
dinals, will manage the Red Sox, and
Armando Marsans, OF the st. Louis
Americans, will boss the Orientals. 1t
| is likely that Inocente Vendetta and
Augustin Molina will be the other
chiefs.
The Cuban Stars will leave here
carly in April for New York, and will
play in the Eastern States most of the
season. Another team OF colored play
ers will go to Chicago. about thirty
five white players will be scattered
through the major and minor leagues
and semi-pro teams in the States.

Wilmer CrOwell was not exactly
dismissed as Lafayette's football
coach. The severance between him
and the college was by mutual con-
sent. Crowell was director of ath-
Ietics and football coach, a cumbina-
ton of responsibilities distastefuI to
him. This is the position Al sharpe
holds at Cornell. a sort OF centraliza.

successful at Ithaca. The Lafayette

Ileved to have been too small to hold

AFTER DATE FOR
BALTIMORE MATCH
Royals May Meet Won Loss
berg's BoWlers Before
Visiting Roanoke.

Captain HALEY. OF the Royal duckpin
team. is scanning the bowling league
schedules today to find a suitable date
for the match between his team and
Won Lossberg's An-Stars. Of Baltimore.
The Royals roll the final games Of the
match with Roanoke. at Roanoke, on
February II. Saturday. and an effort will
be made to roll the first section Of the
Baltimore match before that date. So
many leagues are staging their games
at the Royal now that 1t is difficult to
secure alleys for special matches.
Continentals are likely to be left be-
hind. temporarily. at least. in the Dis
trict League pennant race when the
Royals, tied for first place with the Con-
tinentals, roll the Resolutes at the Royal
tonight. Little difficulty in scoring a
clean sweep Is expected by the Royals.
Tomorrow night the Continentals take
on the Shermans and the latter are cap
able OF giving their opponents a worthy
battle.
J. A. Clancy rolled a perfect fat game
in practice at the National Capital al
leys Saturday. Flat games of 100 are
as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth.
The manager Of a local bowling es-
tablishment was kidding a pinboy the
other day. Say" he said. eyeing the

you have ancestors"

disease like at in my life." replied the
pinboy. paIpably frightened. neverthe-
less.

Satisfied With Team.

The middies are more than satisfied
with their team this season, and have
backed Coach CoIlihower in every
sense of the word. Prospects for an
other successful year are already un-
der way in that the majority of play
crs have one and two. and some three,
years more on the Navy team.
The clean string of eleven wins
speaks volumes for the Navy coach
and the offense and defense worked up
with players not above the average
ability is a tribute to the skill of the
mentor handling the sport.

EXPECT EXPENSES
MAY Be CURTAILED
If War Comes, Hundred and
Twenty Players May Lose
Jobs in Big Show.
BY JOE VILLA.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-If the big
league clubs should be forced to cur
tail expenses this year, many bail
players would be thrown out of en-
ployment. Probably the first move
in this direction would be a reduction
of the player limits.
The National League clubs are al
lowed to carry twenty-five men each
between the first OF May and the last
of August, while each OF the Ameri-
can League clubs can hold twenty
five men. 1t is possible to operate q
big league team with sixteen or
eighteen men.
Back in 1894, 1895. and 1896, the
Orioles won the National League pen
nant with not more than fifteen play
ers. The Bostons, who were victor
ious in 1897 and 1898, carried no more
than sixteen men,
Limited to Fifteen
Ned Hanlon's champion Brooklyns
in 1899 and 1900 were limited to fif-
teen. The Pirates, who captured the
flag in 1901. 1902, and 1905, never had
more than eighteen. The Giants, in
1904 and 1905. got along with six
teen.
Frank Chances Cubs in 1906 won
the pennant with fifteen and repeat
ed in 1907 and 1908 with eighteen.
The Pirates had seventeen on the pay
roll in 1909 and the Cubs paid twenty
two men in 1910.
: Thereafter the clubs increased the
number of their players. A return 10
sixteen men would deprive the 120
major league players Of lucrative posi-
tions.
No wonder the strikers are begin
ming to worry.
Fear Wars Eject.
Some of the magnates seem to
think that if there is war with Ger
many baseball will be severely in
jured. But the fact remains that dur
ing the rumpus with Spain the com
parativeIy small crowds at the Polo
Grounds were due to other causes.
The late Andrew Freeman at that
time was at loggerheads with his
National League partners. He openly
declared that he was trying TO kill
the game in order to bring the other
maEnates to terms. The lack OF in
terest in the Giant games, therefore,
was the result OF premeditation, and
naturally the sport in the other Ma
tiOnaI League cities was affected.
Race Tracks Successful
But during that year the New York
race tracks enjoyed phenomenal sue
cess. They were patronized by rec
ord-breaking crowds, and the book
makers in the betting ring handled
thousands of dollars.
The boxing clubs, operating under
the ill-fated Horton law, also made
money in spite of the scrap that lib
Grated Cuba.
In spite Of the var in Europe, rae
ing, cricket, boxing, and athletic
games haven't been stopped In Great
Britain. Racing Is very much alive
in Germany and Russia
There is a movement on foot to re-
open some of the big race courses in
France this year. For that reason

hart, and Thomas accounted for one

The Washington times., 1917-02-05

Only one more record achievement
remains for the Royal ducIlpin team,
which has smashed local bowling rec
ords right and left this season. This
is a game of 700. When they rolled
1872 for three consecutive games
against Roanoke Saturday the Royals
accomplished something which was
believed by many to be beyond the
ability of any team in the country.
In one Of the games, which went well
over COO, ii apeared for a time that
they were ON the way to a mark
around 700. The team was making
spare after spare in the early part of
the game, and undoubtedly had Harry
HaIley's stars maintained the pace
they would have reached the coveted
mark. In order to roll 700 the team
would have to average 40 inviduaIly.
The prediction is here made that the
Royals will hit 'em at that speed one
Of these times.
