PENN TOENTER
ITS RELAYERS
Quakers to Have Big Squad
in Open Events at Hop
kins Games.

Baltimore, Feb. 5.-Universjty OF
Pennsylvania will send a squad OF fif-
teen men. including its two-mile relay
team, and Camp Dix will also be rep
resented by a number of soldier ath-
letes. This was the pleasing an
nouncement made this morning oy the
committee in charge of the annual in
door games which Johns Hopkins Uni
versity will conduct at the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory on February %. While
the Penn authorities had said they
will probably send some athletes here.
there had been no definite statement
until today. The same applied to the
Camp Dix team.
The fact that the Franklin Field
boys will be on hand with their two
mile relay team assures the spectators
of one real big feature. The commit
tee has not yet reached a conclusion
as to the opponent OF the Quakers,
but the Philadelphia boys will be
pitted against the best that can be
had. Penn is claiming a larger alumni
in Baltimore as the years go by. and
interest in the team is bound to be
great. With a squad Of fifteen men
participating in the contests, the
Quakers will cut no small figure, and
it would not be surprising to see them
skip off with the team trophy. Sher-
man Lauders. the sensational pole
Nvaulter. will be among the entries
from Penn. and he looks ike a sure
point winner. no matter how severe or
otherwise the Handicapped may be
with him.

JOHN L. FEARED
ONLY BILL MULDOON

John L. Sullivan feared probably
only one man. and that was Billy
Muldoon. The dead champion in the
heydey of his career could always
be bossed by Muldoon. When the
latter was training Sullivan for his
memorable fight with Kilrain he left
the training quarters. and when he
returned Sullivan was not about.
Going on a scouting trip. Muldoon
saw a crowd around a saloon. That
meant Sullivan was inside. When he
looked in. sure enough there was the
big fellow drinking up all the liq.uor
in sight.
Muldoon went down the street, got
a baseball bat and walked into the
saloon. He didn't try any verbal per-
suasion with Sullivan. Instead he
began to belabor him with the base
ball bat and hit him about every
place but on the head. He drove
Sullivan into the street and headed
him toward the training quarters.
Every time Sullivan hesitated Null
doom hit him again. and John L. kept
right on his way. When they reached
the gymnasium Muldoon wrestled
the big fellow all over the floor until
he had Jared the booze out of his
system. Sullivan never broke loose
after that while MuldoOn was around.

MOORE RULES
THE FAV0RITE
Memphis Bantam Is. Being
Picked to Win From
Loadman Tonight.

Baltimore, Feb. 5.-That Pal Mooore,
the Memphis bantam. should be a
ruling favorite over Dick Leadman,
the Lockport battler, in their 15-round
bout booked for tomorrow night be-
fore the Pickwick Athletic Club at
Albaugh's Theater, is no surprise.
Fans have known OF Moore's ability
in . the squared arena for some
time, but they have not had 1t driven
home as II has been since Moore
was matched here. Happenings dur
ing the last few weeks have gone
to make Moore stand out in greater
prominence. and this has all tended
to result in his being made favorite
for tomorrow night. When Lynch
stopped Williams in four rounds II
created a big stir. but when the fight
fans here had been shown accounts
of the setto between Lynch and
Moore on January II at Providence.
with Moore an easy winner, all hands
realized that in the Memphis boy
they would see probably the best
116-pounder in the pugilistic game to-
day.
A superior knowledge of boxing and
a willingness to mix it is the COM
bination which the fans believe should
make Moore a winner. Although
Moore is rated as exceptionally clever
at the fine points OF the art, ac-
counts of his battle always show him
as willing to mix il any time, and
this Is what makes tomorrow night S
go loom up as a speed affair from
start to finish. While II is true that
Moore has been made a favorite,
Loadman will not be lacking for fol-
lowers in the slightest degree.
1O-C aos
Recent events have also been the
cause of this confidence to a GER
tain degree. Loadman's fights with
the best in the game here have
shown him to be a fearless and ag-
gressive boy. Followers of Moore
point out of his cleverness, but Load
mans hackers are quick to show
that Dicks last battle was a victory
over a decidedly clever lad, Artie
Root. The Lockport bantam's vic
tory over the Clevelander was most
impressive, and 1t should be remen-
bered that tomorrow's go is a Is
rounder and more than mere cles-
erness will be required to turn the
trick. II the setto were slated for
six sessions the matter would be en-
tirely different, but over the long
route a boy of Loadman's aggress-
iveAess and stamina must be con-
sidered. no matter how good his
opponent may be.

HATCHETITES
CURTAHSPORT'
Stockton Suggests Way to
Cover Indebtedness In
Cured Last Year.

Athletics for the present at George
Washington University should be con-
fined to inter-class, .interfraternity,
and inter-sex contests, in the opinion
OF Rear Admiral Charles Herbert
Stockton, U. S. NJ, retired, president
OF the university.
There now is an athletic deficit of
more than 500 incurred last year.
and until this deficit is entirely wiped
out, Admiral Stockton. believes that
the students should not extend their
intercollegiate activities. Admiral
Stockton says that he would dislike
to turn over next year to his sue
Cessor, DR.. William Miller Collier, any
athletic deficit, and he has announced
his willingness to support any move
ment to eliminate the deficit.
Students interested in the extension
of athletics at the university are ex-
pected soon to open a fund for the
elimination of the indebtedness. Ad-
miral stockton will start the subScTip-
ton list. If the plan is put into effect.
1t is probable that part of the pro-
ceeds of plays to be given this spring
by the George Washington University
Players will be turned over to this
fund.
Admiral Stockton's expression of
opinion regarding the extension of
athletics is not expected to affect
plans at the university to any great
extent, for already the y, board of
trustees has forbidden intercollegiate
athletics for the period Of the war.
Basketball has been exempted from
the ruling on the understanding that
the team play only home games and
incur as little expense as possible.
The football team will not be re-
organized until the war is over. 1t is
definitely announced. intercollegiate
baseball also is an impossibility until
peace comes.

SCHULTELAST

Chicago Machine.

Ten years will do a great deal to !

The average tenure of a ballplayer
in the majors is less than ten years,

SAMMIE RICE
FALLS In LINE
Nationals Outfeld Is Now
Complete-To Play
Camp Hancock.

Clark Griffith had a big burden
lifted on his shoulders yesterday
when he received a signed contract
from Sammie Rice. This lineup the
outfield of the Nationals In the cam
paign OF 1918. With Clyde Milan and
Bert Shotten already working on
Wartime agreements. Rice was
more than wanted by the local pilot
and upon receiving his signed con-
tract the Od Fox was cheerful and
once more himself.
There will be batting and ace-high
base running in the National outer
garden this season. Rice last year
was the only member of the Ma
tionals who crashed the old pill for
an average above 800 and in receiv-
ing an o. K. on the terms means that
the fieet-tooted. blond outfielder will
once more stop Bakers home runs
from going over the garden wall in
right field.
= Sammie Rice's career has been a
peculiar one at that. Down in
Charlottesville In the spring of 1915
Rice insisted that he was not a pitch
er. but a batting outfielder. and it is
remembered by the scribes who
were with the Nationals in this cold
region Of the Virginia hills that the
insistency Of the former Virginia
Lacquer placed him where he is to-
day.
Sammie came to the Nationals from
the Norfolk club of the. Virginia
League, and a short trial on the
heayfng mound in the fall OF 1914
warranted a spring try out. 1t was
long before Manager Griffith arrived
at the Charlottesville camp that Rice
declared himself not a pitcher, but
a good batting outfielder. From these
early days in March until the middle
of the season it took Griff and his
fellow workmen to admit that
Sammie was an outfielder and that he
could hit.
Rice proved the same, and is now
ranked in the American League.
Outfielders but is placed among the
gatherers OF flies as a fleet foot
thelete.
With a veteran outfield set and
ready to enter a war time" cam
raign it can be said without startling
interference that the Nationals have
one of the best outergardens, in
the history of the club.
Athletic Director Lieut.. Walter
Camp. jr.. will find his name in
print on many occasions in the
Washington papers this spring as
young Camp is in charge of the
athletic program now being die
tated at Camp Hancock. Ga. This
cantOnment is just four miles frCn
Augusta. Ga. the Nationals training
camp, and anaEer Griffith, of the
local team. made arrangements yes
terday with Lieut.. Camp to play a
number of practice and exhibitions
games with the ''Sammies" from
that post.
1t will be remembered that Camp
Hancock, has a few real minor
leagers, besides a scattered one or
two major stars. and it is a sure
fact that the Nationals will be given
plenty of opposition when they
buck against these 'Sanmies."
somewhere near the Georgia line.
Grifi would not state last night just
how many games he had arranged
but il is a sure bet that he has
fixed enough games to come out on
the long end after training season.

Yankees After Ty Cobb.

New York, Feb. 5.-Miller Higgins
efforts to round up a world-beating
team for the Yankees next season
again took definite form yesterday
when he directed his attention to-

been known for some time to be scout
