Look Out sames and Joe Are Out After Your Scalps
World Series Stars to Be
Battery for Camp Cor
don Team.

"Battrez fer tuhday's game. fer
Camp Gordon. Sherry Smith and
Jenkins"
And the Sammies who face this
battery will have cause for appre-
hension, for Camp Gordon Is al
eady planning to build its base
oall club around two world series
.tars, Sherrod Smith. formerly of
he Brooklyn Dodgers, and Joe
enkins, of last years champion
hite Sox.
Jenkins didn't get into the world
.ies last year. mainly on account
q rather well-known person by
ne name of Ray Schalk. but he was
considered one of the livest young
eatchers in the league and would
haye been a regular with many an
other club which did not boast Q
Schalk.
Smith was the losing hero of the
1915 world series when he pitched
and should have won a 14-inning
game against the Red Sox, the
game being thrown away by Rob-
inson's erratic infield.
II Sherrod Smith and jenkins can
hold their own in the big leagues
baseball players in the other camps
are wondering what they are likely
to do with the sandlotters which
probably will compose the bulk of
the. camp teams.
There's one team down east, how
ever, that even Smith and Jenkins
can be leery of. It's from the Bos-
ton naval reserves and in the line
up will be Jack Barry as second
base, Ernie Shore for the first
string pitcher, Mike McNally at
short and Chick Shorten in the out
field.
Very few of the camps will be
sighted when 1t canes to good
ball players in the spring. Men are
being called from the big league
ranks every day and perhaps 200
major and minor league players
are already in service.
Connie Mack lost Is players, most
of them youngsters. Cleveland gave
Guisto. Torkelson. Evans and De
Berry to the service. Boston lost

ARDMORE NOW
A DEAD ISSUE
No Chance for Fans to Sup,
port Lowe-Chaney Bat
tie in Maryland.

Rumor-Tommy Lowe, the Washing
ton lightweight, will meet George
CLANCY. the Baltimore feather-weight,
in a fifteen-round battle at the Mary
land Athletic and Social Club. of Ard
more, Md. in a matinee show on
George washington's Birthday.
Well, Dame Rumor, it can't be done.
No matter who the promoter is or
done. 1t would take a pair of
youngsters with more speed than a
Gibbons. more punching power than q
Leonard, and more magnetic power
that a Willard to drag Washington
again.
The old saying of "once is enough. -
never rang truer in reference to tho
Ardmore clubhouse. Time and again
the Washington fans have made the
journey to that fight club, under very
trying conditions. only to once again
have the same old story of poor exhi-
billions pulled upon them.
But It is never again to the entire
District fight crowd, as the history of
the Maryland club during the past
year has killed or the night game there
for good. Drift back to New Year
Day Of 1917, when Tommy Lowe and
Andy Cortez waltzed through fifteen
rounds. Jumping a few weeks down
the ladder and the fans were forced
to see Mike Urain, the fighting police
man take a ten-round trimming from
Fay Kaiser. the Cumberland miner.
(Poor matchmaking caused the bloom
er on this show.) Then after a few
months rest Sammy Langford, the
Boston tar-baby, was pitted against
Andrew Johnson, a big New York
smoke. One round was enough for An
drew, who did a flop on this session,
and on an inside tip Il was stated that
Joe Woodman, manager Of Langford
was paid of for both battlers. Then
came the Sheller-Smith affair which
ended in another one of those one-round
fiops. Now fight promoters, fans and
boxers, the man who attempts to book
fight for Ardmore Is ripe for the ride
up Congress Heights hill, never to
come back. while the fans and fighters
who would be witnesses and principals
in the affair, would be ready to make
the same journey.
Lay OF, you ambitious fight prdinot-
ers, and pull for bigger things, a Dis
trfct bsxing bill that would legalize
boxing here, which would guarantee to
lighters and fans a square deal

BALTIMORE FEDERALS
HAVE DROPPED SUIT

New York, Jan. 19.-There are
rumors in baseball circles that the
Baltimore Feds 100000 damage
suit against the major leagues,
charging conspiracy and a violation
of the Sherman law, is about to be
withdrawn. Insiders seem to think
that the plaintiffs will be satisfied
in some way by Organized Ball and
that the other Federal League
hackers - Sinclair, Gwinner and
Ward-will receive money due as
part Of the settlement of the re-
cent baseball war. The resignation
of Ed Barrow from the presidency
of the International League also is
said to be a reason for the dropping
of the big suit. Barrow, it will be
remembered. refused to allow the
Baltimore Feds to be included in
the adjustment proceedings arrang-

Catholic, IS; State, II.

Maryland State put up a great fight
against Catholic University. 1t Is
simply a shame that the Orange and
Black team hasn't a capable offen-
sive player. They only scored three
field goals but IL they had only land
ed one-half the chances that Eiseman
and Berlin had to score two pointers
the score would have been much
closer.
Both Eiseman and Berlin are fast
and aggressive and eluded the Cath
olic University players time and again
but bing, the sphere Just would not
go through the hoop.
Glascott, Catholic University's star
guard, was called home last week on
account of the illness of his father
and did not return in time for the
contest. Milde, who has been playing
at forward, was shifted to his posi-
ton at guard and will likely be kept
somewhere on the defense for his Of
fensive playing was the best seen on
the big ''gymn" floor last night.
Milde scored the first point for Cath
olic University when he dribbled the
ball the length Of the floor passing to
o Brien, scoring on the return pass.
He scored five field goals, more than
he has ever scored in the forward
position.
'Obe" O'Brien did not do so well
with his shooting from the fifteen
foot mark, but made up for his de-
ficiency in that respect by scoring five
field goals. Some of his shots that
landed were very spectacular.
The game in the first half was close
ending II to II, but it would have
been tied up at this time il Eiseman
had only been able to drop them
through the hoop from the foul line.
Catholic University ran away from
the State team in the second seance
and played a much faster and clean
er game. McDonough. Milde and
O'Brien worked the ball down the
floor time and again and scored six
teen points on double pointers.
Donovan. who played forward In
place of Milde. played a great game
until he was ordered to the side lines
because of the four personal foul rule.
Gleason is one of the fastest lads on
the Catholic team and during a con-
test gets many chances to score but
does not appear to be an accurate
shot.
There are no games scheduled in the
league until Saturday night, February
2, when only one contest is staged be-
tween Maryland Stale and Gallaudet

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 19.-Pres-

self rather squelched this when he
made it clear that he might not be
able to get away from Washington.
Mcbride would have been a popu-
lar choice as a Milwaukee product.
He learned the rudiments Of baseball
on the sandlot in the old Third
ward. He is well liked in Milwau-
kee. and is a great player. with ex-
ecutive ability.
Mcbride graduated from the old
City League in 1901. and was given a
try-out by the Milwaukee American
Association club in 1902, going to Kan
sas City the same year. He spent
the next two years in the Western
League and spent 1905 and 1906 with
Pittsburgh and st. Louis in the Ma
tional League. He came back to
Kansas City for two years, and in
1908 went to Washington, where he
has been since. He was noted as
the best fielding shortstop on Ban
Johnson's circuit, and up to a year
ago played regularly.
The going might have been made
easier for Egan had not President
Timme seen At some time ago to
deny that he ever thought of the man
he now has selected. His denial gave
some fans the impression that Egan
wasn't considered heavy enough for
the job-and then Timme went and
signed him. However, there should
be no such doubts. If records count,
for anything Egan is all to the good,
