SCHOLASTIC SPORTS

ager Bratburd. OF the Yankees,
claims that his team plays the fresh

will travel in a body to Brookland.

noon in the latter gym at $50 p. m.
Altemus, of Western. is playing a
good game in the guard position.
Conrad is a clever floor man, as he
is a hard man to block from shoot
ing goals.
The Yankee and Aloysius game, for
the benefit OF the Armstrong fund,
proved a great success. About $500
was taken in at the gate.
Business basket ball team will
again have a hard week, as they
have hard games scheduled, meeting
Central High Tuesday in a regular

afternoon in the Business gym. and
probably a game will be arranged
for Friday.
Last year the Business basket ball
team won the eight games in the

tablished a record. 1t looks about the

New York, Jan. 1S.-The Queens
County Jockey Club has issued entry
blanks for the stakes and handicaps
to be run during its summer meet
ing. The closing dates for these
events is February 16. The associa-
tion has had no dates assigned for

intimate that it will be run either
during the latter part of June or the
first part of July.
On the list are eight events for g.
year-olds and upward; two for g.
year-olds; six for 2-year-olds, and
three for steeplechase horses. The
money offered by the association
for these races Is liberal and should
result in a big response from horse
owners.
Among the events for the older
horses the Brooklyn Handicap
stands out. The club will add $500
this year to the big race. This race

PASSES GEIER
UP AND TAKES
LARRY LAJOIE

Editors Note: This is the third
instaIment of George l. Moreland's
story OF how he discovered Larry
Nap" Lajoie.
''Shets," when he arrived at Fall
River, soon found out that Geier was
going to cost him some money. One
thousand I'VE hundred dollars was the
price asked for Phil.
The Philadelphian offered 1900, but
the nothing-doing sign was handed
him.
But Marsden did make this prop
osition. that IL the Philadelphia club
was willing to pay his price that he
would give Lajoie as good measure,
and on this basis the deal was closed.
l always figured that the Philadel-
phia team secured LAjoie at not a
cent Of cost, as Marsden got his
price for Geier. Even IL he did get
500 for the big Frenchman he got
the same price for Pofered.
Reports to PhfIlIes-
I.ajoie and Geier reported to the
team, and II did not take Nash. who
was captain. and in reality manager.
long to see he had a star. Lajoie was
placed on first. Ed. Delahanty, who
had been covering that corner, was
moved to second, and Mailman
brought in from the garden and
placed on third.
In the spring OF 1897 George STALL
ings was engaged to play right field
and manage the team. When he got
the men South he discovered that La
joie was not a first baseman, as he
could not shift his feet, so put him
over at second-every one knows the
answer-the greatest man who ever
covered the bag. And the old league
had seen a few men who could play
second.
That is how Larry Lajoie (the
proper way to pronounce this name is
as though spelled Lash-waO broke
into the National League.
What the big fellow. who was born
September 5. 1875. did during his
career in the National and American
leagues follows:
