of the accidental death of T. NJ. Gus

Saturday afternoon at O'clock
The Accident.
On his return to the postoffice after
delivering mail, Custer rode along
side the van. Both were going south
Just after passing the street intersec-
ton, William La Flex, the driver was
compelled to swing farther toward
the middle of the avenue to avoid
automobiles parked along the curb.
This caused Custer to swing farther
to the left and led him into a narrow
passage between the van and a street
car.
Just what happened then is I'M
known. Stories by eyewitnesses vary
widely. La Flex said that his nigh
horse jumped and when he looked to
see what was wrong he saw the man
lying in the street. He believes that
the bicycle caught in the singletree
of the team and threw the rider vio-

County Nine, J to O.

The Old Winter Stove League never
bad anything. on that baseball battle
staged at Clarendon. Va, yesterday.
Clark Griffith hustled his Yannigans
across the Potomac to meet the Aiexan-
dria County Athletic Association nine. Al
though old Jack Frost doubled up with
the chilly north breezes In an attempt
TO halt the contest. seven-inning con-
test was played with those peppery YAM
nigans beating the county athletes to
the long end of q 7-to-0 count
This wark, chilly Easter Sunday held
down the crowd to great extent, as
not more than five hundred of the faith
full fans Of the county turned out to
witness the annual battle, while very
few Washington fans made the trip
across the river. Although the game
started like a romp for the Yannigans.
those that journeyed to Latterner's field
were furnished with a good game, as
the Griffmen furnished just enough Of
real clouting to liven up the contest.
Otto Won Herbulis worked the first
FIVE innings on the mound for the Vir-
ginians. After the first inning when
his delivery was nicked for a quartet OF
hits and as many runs, he pitched good
ball as errors by his teammates at the
critical moment paved the way for a
trio OF the Nationals tallies. Geek Blum
den took up the duties In the sixth and
gave a good account OF himself. as two
safe blows were all the Griffmen could
gather or his fiinging.
Lefty Clarke, OF Martinsburg fame,
worked the first four sessions for the
Griffmen. The county players failed to
receive. safe blow OF his pitching and
only one man reached first base. this
coming by the free transportation route.
Mollie Craft finished out the battle. He
was met for four safe blows, little Ally
Watts leading the way for his team
mates in the fifth when he poled one
past Menoskey.
Menoskey, Jameson and Craft paved
the way for the Nationals tallies with
timely blows while Jameson demonstrat-
ed a great deal Of speed on the paths.

BASEBALL ON ICE IS
LATEST OF. LOCAL SPORTS

New York, April 6-with the big
league baseball teams advancing upon
New York in full war strength the base
ball fever seems to have taken hold with
all its old time vengeance. 1t has taken
hold to such an extent that an effort is
being made to link Ice skating and base
BALTIC sort OF unite the two extremes Of
sport. Ice skating has been recognized
as purely a winter pastime until the an
nouncement the One hundred and eighty
first Street Ice Skating Palace would re-
main open all summer. And baseball Is
primarily q summer sport in this section
of the country. However, several young
skaters have requested NJ. H. Greene
baum, general manager of the rink, to
let them play baseball on skates. He is
considering it. They intend playing in
door baseball. using the regulation indoor
baseball and bat. the only difference be-
ing that they will have skates on. If 1t
proves practicable he will arrange for a
public exhibition.

COMMANDER M'NAIR
FAVORS ATHLETICS
Claims Canoeing Of Athletic Activities
Is Well Meant but Misdirected
Enthusiasm.

Philadelphia, Pa, April S.-Maj. NJ. j.
Pickering, the graduate manager of
athletics at the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, today received a letter from Lieut..
Com. F. ". McNair, Of Annapolis, ex-
pressing the opinion that the present
agitation of a number of our colleges to
cancel all athletic activities Is well meant
misdirected enthusiasm.
Logically. colleges wishing to de-
velop a military routine. would pat
tern their daily work on the lines Of
our two military institutions. viz;
West Point and Naval Academy.
Neither school has the slightest idea
OF not carrying out their athletic
schedules. except on orders from WASH
ington. which are unlikely. In fact the
Nays schedule will be carried out in
spite of the graduation of the senior
class and the loss Of the three graduate
coaches.
"only a few years ago a 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 football 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.
