this may prevent the record from being
accepted officially.
It begins to look as though Yale

to be denied. however. and may come
through for a tie with the Eli team.
News of the first tangible results OF
the preparedness movement among
automobile racing drivers comes from
Los Angeles, where Eddie Pullen has
organized a hundred mile hour
war pilot squad" composed of some Of
the best-known speed kings Of tie
dirt and board tracks. Others Of the
country's daredevil drivers have
written that they will throw in their
lot with Eddie's volunteer organiza-

Capt. Jesse McComas, of the Cali

tour of the company. he achieved IN
unfinished run of fifteen and follow.

frame of his next match. This made
twenty-five consecutive shots without
a miss. He ran twenty points in six.
teen frames in a match yesterday in
Baltimore with a high run OF seven.
Peterson a Marvel.
Charles Peterson is noted as the
man with the slogan-"Show me 9
shot cannot make" In his roper
toire there are 476 shots. He makes
about sixty in each exhibition. A re-
markable feature of Peterson's play
ing IL that he works three times fas-
ter than any other player. He makes
his shots with easy precision and car
ries on a humorous monologue while
executing them.
1t is claimed that an ordinary
player can improve his game Is per
cent by listening to Chick Wright's
lectures. His points are brought out
thoroughly by Hoppe. who demon
strates all shots referred to in the
lecture.
schaefer Great Player.
Jake Schaefer Is q drawing card,
not only because his father was one
of the most famous players of oil
time, but because he possesses un-
usual ability himself. He is now con-
sidered the peer Of Koji Yamada, the
Jap, who appeared with Hoppe in his
last visit to this city.

WILL HURT NAVY ATHLETICS
Early Graduation Of MIddIes VIII
Weaken Teams.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 6.-rhs
early graduation of the first class of
midshipmen, as now seems highly
probable under the provisions Of the
navy bill, enacted during the closing
hours of Congress, will play havoc
with the navy crews and other
branches OF spring athletics at the
Academy. The baseball, field and
track, lacrosse, tennis and rifle teams
will be affected.
Probably the heaviest loss, how
ever. will be that suffered by the
oarsmen, as five OF the members Of
the varsity crew. which Richard Glen
don, the veteran coach, has gather
ed together. are members OF the first
class. E. J. Moran, right fielder; CAL
houn, second base, and several 9TH
ers are among the diamond players.
Incidentally, Glendon probably has
the strongest bunch of oarsmen In
recent years, and the prospects look
extremely promising.

BECKETT WILL TRY
TO START LEAGUE
Colleges Asked to Attend Bas-
ketbaIt Meeting Tomorrow
Night at "Y."

Representatives from hve colleges
in and around Washington have been
asked to meet Prof. C. E. Beckett, of
the Y. NJ. c. A, tomorrow night at
the Y. NJ. c. A. at s D. m, for the
purpose OF forming an intercollegi-
ate basketball league next winter.
An effort will be made to line UP
Georgetown. George Washington.
Gsllaudet. and Catholic University
and Maryland State. which will be
represented in basketball next year.
Difficulties Ahead.
Owing to the fact that Georgetown
and Catholic University have no ath-
letIc relations. Il Is expected that diff
fculty will be encountered in getting
these teams into the league.
No effort has been made to sound
out the two colleges, according to
Prof. Beckett. and II may be possi-
BILE to get all hve teams to play. de-
spite the fact that Georgetown and
c. U. do not meet
Two Are Willing.
Gallaudet and George Washington
are thought to be willing to meet the
others. Both teams now schedule
two games with c. u. and @. u. and
II is expected that engagements will
be booked with Maryland State.
The State team will probably be
anxious to establish basketball rela-
tions with local schools until the
sport gets on q fixed basis and over
the initial season.
No Title Now In s. A.
There is no South Atlantic title
holder at present. but a District
championship league would go far
toward establishing the local cham
pionship team. Various claims for
South Atlantic supremacy must be
waived aside in view OF the fact that
few OF the teams play thoroughly
representative flves.
Washington and Lee. of Lexington.

Atlantic title honors. without engag-
ing Georgetown. Virginia. Catholic

uled with the Navy. one OF the South

idea Il Being Doomed.
The idea OF forming the District
Of Columbia collegiate league is be-
ing doomed by those interested In the
sport. During the past year a healthy
interest was maintained up to the
end OF the season.
Meetings between all of the Wash
ington colleges and those OF the other
South Atlantic teams would be bene-
fcial for all sports in this section.

in succession two Of them being
home runs and one a triple. In the
midst of the carnage McGraw shout
ed: Stop It, Benny, and save a few

But Benny went right ahead with
Ills fery clouting. and NJ a result left
the field several minutes befor, his

Eleven of Benny's hits were gath

MACON, Ca. March 6.-Evidence
that slim" Ray Caldwell spent the
last two months or SO pitching ball
in the sunny land OF either Panama
or Cuba, was convincingly furnished
by the great pitcher himself at the
morning and afternoon practice OF the
Yankees yesterday. Despite the fact
that the weather was cold-a biting
wind was sweeping acros the diamand
Caldwell frequently curved the ball
and had nearly twice as much speed
as any OF the other pitchers.
Caldwell's neck and face are cover
ed with a heavy coat OF tan. his eyes
are clear and his arm as strong as
ever. He Is unwilling to admit that
he has been playing ball on foreign
soil since the first Of the year. The
eccentric pitcher merely smiles or
passes a joking remark whenever his
fellow players or some baseball writer
questions him about his mysterious
disappearance Sihce he quit the team
In st. Louis last year.

Washington win entertain q worlds
champion tomorrow in the person of
Willie Hoppe. Every since the young
ster began to play billiards at the
age of eight at Cornwall-on-the-
Hudson he has been known as Willie.
For twelve years Hoppe has been the
undisputed champion Of tie world
aud IL one of the few titlehoIders
VINO has always been willing to take
up the burden OF defending his hon.
ors. Hoppe meets all comers, there
arc no strings attached to his title
and no wrangles on splits of purses
or places to play. He Is the best in
the profession and one Of the best
examples OF q real champion known
to the world.
A break In the weather, somewhat
warmer days and a climbing ther-
mometer are all that 10 necessary TO
give baseball Q start here. The kids
nave done some corner lot work. but
the real baseball signs are lacking.
AS soon as Robert Young calls the
amateur league together we will be
sure the season Is upon us.
Billy Evans. Of Cleveland, regarded
by many as the best Of the American
League umpires. may be lost to the
American League at the close of the
coming season. Evans Is now acting as
physical director at a big lighting plant
In Cleveland. and has met with such
success In training the officials of the
corporation that they have made him a
proposition to give up his position as
umpire and devote all his time to physi-
cal training. Evans now has the offer
under consideration, and may accept at
the close Of the 1917 season The pass
Ing Of Evans would be a distinct blow
to the game.
