He varied his program. serving up
snow instead of rain, but the latter
proved just as effectual in making
hostilities impossible. One game at
Norfolk and one at Columbus, five con-
tests called off because of bad
weather this spring. Inability to play
the Cincinnati and Columbus games

Washington's new road uniforms. or

Augusta, have arrived and this morn

window of Spalding's store. where
they attracted much favorable COM
ment from passersby. The new unles
are of slightly different design from
those worn last season. although the
same colorS-gray and blue-are en-
ployed. 1t is the consensus of opinion
among those who have seen them that
the new uniforms are the most DIS
tinctively striking in appearance a
Washington team ever had. The gar
ments for use in the home games, made
of blue and white materials. are not
expected to arrive for a week yet

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

The final chapter in the story of the
exhibition games scheduled by the
Washington team this spring was writ
ten by the weather man last night
when he doled out plentiful supply
OF snow. When Manager Griffith and
his players reached the park at $50
o'clock this morning for the military
drill they found the entire field under
covering of white. 1t was apparent
that, even if the sun did melt the snow
the ground would be too muddy to
permit of a game, SO Griff called off the
f,nal contest slated to be played with
the Phiilies this afternoon.
Grifhth had his players don their uni
forms and work out under the stands
and Manager Moran planned to have
his Phillies do the same. He plans to

Lieut.. Commander F. Y. McNair. in
charge of track sports at the Naval
Academy, in a recent letter to Maj. NJ.
j. Pickering. graduate manager OF ath-
letics at the University of Pennsylva-
mia. expresses the opinion that it 10 mis-
! directed enthusiasm for the colleges to
| call off athletics because of the en-
trance of the United States into the
war against Germany. Here is the ex-
cerpt from the letter sent to Ma ]. Pick
ering by Lieut.. Commander McNair:
The present agitation of number
of our colleges to cancel all athletic
activities is well meant, but misdirect-
ed enthusiasm.
Logically. colleges wishing to devel-
op military routine, would pattern
, their daily work on the lines Of our tw o
military institutions, viz. West Poiut
ana the Naval ACADEMY.
Neither school has the slightest idea
of not carrying out their athletic sched-
ules. except orders from Washing
ton. which are unlikely. In fact the
Navy's schedule will be carried out in
spite Of the graduation of the senior
class and the loss of the three grad
uate coaches.
Only a few years ago certain ad-
miral made efficiency in fleet athletics
count second only to efficiency in tar
get practice.
Let US have college athletics, and
more of them, just as the British are
playing foot ball behind the lines in
Flanders.
With best wishes for your success in
keeping all sport going. may I con-
graduate you and old Penn on the
stand you have taken with regard to
athletics and the war situation"
Georgetown will not engage in any
branch of athletics for the remainder
Of the year. However. the cancellation
will not affect the foot ball schedule
| next fall. Father McDonough stated
this morning that the Blue and Gray
would go on with preparations for its
foot ball season. as he thought condi-
