Annapolis Expects to Renew
Contests With West Point

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 2I.-The re-
turn to athletic conditions as they ex-
listed prior to the war, the most i'm
portant incident being the renewal OF
the annual contests in football and
baseball with the Military Academy,
will be taken up by the athletic au-
thorities of the Naval Academy in d
short time. A special effort will also
be made to secure the former privi-
lege by which the football team was
permitted to play one game season
away from Annapolis, in addition to the
game against West Point.
Owing to conditions at West Point,
where there is now but one class, it is
hardly likely that the baseball game
will be played this spring The matter
will be broached by the Naval Academy
athletic authorities, but if West Point
feels that it would hardly be fair to
play under the conditions, that position
will be accepted here as perfectly fair.
1t is recognized that the nine would
hardly be fairly representative under
the circumstances.
There is q far greater probability
Tor playing the football game next
fall, ana the date OF November 90 has
been reserved on both schedules for
II. Not only will another class have
entered West Point, which promises
to DC a very large enc. but there is

End of War Might
Mean Grave Loss
To American Turf

Resumption of horse racing in Eng
land after January and the promised
revival Of the sport in France next
year may result in loss to the Ameri-
can turf
Already Tom Welsh, the well-known
trainer, is laying his plans to go to
France, at least to look over the Wide
ner yearlings there. John Sanford may
campaign a string of horses there as
he did before the war, and there has
been some talk of Willis Sharpe Kill
mer's sending, among others, the good
Sun Briar to the French courses in
charge of Trainer Simon Healcy.
1t has been known for some time that
A. X. Macombcr has been partial to
French racing, and but for the war
might have won as much abroad as
he has here. Fred Burlew, who didn't
figure to any great extent on the
Jockey Club tracks here last season,
made big reputation for himself in
France, and he, too, may decide to 90
back now that the war is practically
eEded.
Some years ago Jack Joyner was
firmly established among the best of
trainers in England. He enjoyed his
experiences there and might consider
an offer to return.

was graduated prematurely NAV be

would put the institutions on exactly

League Teams

CINCINNATI, Dec. 21.-August Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati Ma
tlonal League Club, has announced that
the Cincinnati team will train at
home next spring. as the regular sea
son will not start until May. The en-
tire month of April will probably be
devoted to practice among the home
team players. but it may be that inter
league games will be arranged with
several American League teams.
II do not see why we should send
our team South in April, when the
weather is just as pleasant at home as
1T is in the South" said Hermann.
1T looks like both the National and
American Leagues will adopt 14O-
game schedule at the joint meeting in
New York on January 16, and this will
mean that all the teams except those
IN seacoast towns will spend the
month of April st home practising for
the opening of the regular playing
season. 1t will mean a great saving to
the club owners"

DE Witt Clinton Defeated
In Titular Aquatic Meet

Erasmus relay team clipped 18 seconds
from the 200-yard time of 2:132-5.
After Erasmus had captured the relay
race as it pleased by a margin of al
most Is yards, Clinton scored it's first
victory when Rosengren plunged a dis
tance of 50 feet in his speciality Henry
McMullen, of Erasmus, won the Seward
SWIM by three yards, after close fight
with Robert Franken, q team mate. who
faltered in the final 20 yards. McMullen
was timed in % 2-5, which is only one
NTH of second slower than the record
Clinton's second victory came in the
fancy dive, when Pressman managed to
outscore Arthur Kirkpatrick of Eras-
mus Hali, through his ability to execute
the difficult speciality dives Kirkpat-
rlck's performance was of especjaI
merit. He is youth nearing his four
tcenth birthday and standing less than
five feet in height. Although he has
pursued the sport for only one month
ne has shown such rapid improvement
that his name is sure to be chroniced
IN coming aquatic meets.
Burrill Wins 1O0-Yard Race
The Erasmus boys swept the re-
malnder of the card in impressive man
ner. Joe Burrill led throughout in win
ing the 10O-yard swim, with Bert Ros-
settl, the other Erasmus entrant, sec
ond. Then came Clarence Ross's vic
tory in the 220-yard event, with Daniel
Lowey, Of Clinton, third.
McMullln, who previously swan on
the Erasmus Hall relay team and had
also captured the 50-yard contest, was
third, only two yards behind Lowey.
The race was practically mo competi-

McLear .Jacobv
o
Hero Who Sank Submarines
Named Manager of 1919
Baseball Team

McLear Jacoby, who fred the torpe
does that sank two enemy submarines
III The naval engagement in the great
Austrian naval base in the harbor of
Pola when the Allied fleet raided it in
October, was honored yesterday at
Columbia University by being elected
manager OF the varsity baseball team
for the spring season Of 1919. Not
because there is any possibility that
ne viii be back from the other side of
the ocean to serve in that capacity
but because it will give him the priv
. lege of wearing the coveted varsity
&c" in addition to his other honors.
Jacoby, if there had been no war,
would have been manager. of the base
ball team at Columbia this year. But
when war was declared Jacoby, who
is q son of Professor Harold Jacoby,
head of the department of astronomy
OF the university, enlisted in the navy
and was shortly commiss ioned an en-
sign. He was quickly dispatched to
France. and was in the thick OF the
naval warfare Tor almost year. His
certificate emitting him to wear the
"C' will be forwarded to him through
his father.
Geisler and Hassan Honored
Two other Columbia youths in the
service We're elected managers of
major sport teams. They were Ed
ward Geslcr, 10 who was elected di-
rector of the 1918 football team. and
Ali Hassan, named as manager of the
1919 track team. Gcisior would have
oeen manager of the football eleven
last fall if he had remained in the
university, but he enlisted, and it was
decided yesterday that he, too, should
nave the privilege of wearing the var
slty letter. HaSsan expects to return
to the university in February, but if
he does not r. G. Larsen will be acting
manager of the track team
One other major sport manager
elected was W. S. Robinson, 10, who
was chosen director Of the affairs of
the crew. Robinson was assistant
manager of the freshman crew. He
was member of the Students Army
Training Corps Of Columbia, but he
was unable to secure acccptance in
either the army or navy when he tried
to enlist. Minor sports managers were
elected in wrestling and handball
Monroe Block, 'l9, was named manager
OF the wrestling team and L. Ullman,
~, was selected for a. similar position
III handball.
Assistant Managers Named
Assistant managers were elected in
all sports in which Columbia
will be represented next spring except
crew. There is still little uncertan-
ty, it is believed, as to whether or not
Columbia will have crew. but if it
develops after the holidays that there
is to be rowing, an assistant manager
will be chosen in that snort. and at the
same time there will be elections of
managers in swimming and basketball
