All over the city boys are discussing
the coming athletic carnival. AS was
announced, it will be held on the last
Saturday in March at a place to be
agreed upon within a day or so.
The coming Spring and Summer
promises to see general rise in the
interest of athletics, both for boys
and the more fully grown. The Eve
ming Star Boys Club is going to do
it's share or more in giving the inter-
est q boost. Washington and vicinity
always has contributed its share of
stars to the athletic armament and
is gradually climbing the ladder Of
popularity.
It is hoped the members are con-
tinuing to clip their column daily.
The stories Of Babe Ruth when put
together make a little tale hardly
excelled in fiction, in addition to its
value as the real, authentic story or
the Bambino's rise by the one man
responsible.
Read your column every day! You
are bound to learn something new.
Next week We'll have some mighty
fine base ball stories by men ike

Collins and other celebrities, VINO

uous duties in their Southern train

If one may judge of the sincerity
OF the commissioner by his manner
and his attitude. there is no one who
holds this subject OF the conduct OF
base ball closer to his mind and
heart than he does. he has had the
experience of five years in presiding
at the head of the game from an ex-
ecutive standpoint and that expert
ence would amply Gualif" any man
to judge its needs. But ii is evident
that he Is not wrapped up so much
in the administrative work as he is
IN the game itself.
Judge Real Fan
The Judge is thoroughly a base
ball fan, and as such he is eager to
see continued prosperity attach it
self to what he considers the great
est Of games.
Aside from any connection he
may have had in the development of
the national game, and he depre-
Gates all connection he has had with
1t, he is for base ball as game be-
cause of every element that has to
do with it.
II the present system of manage
ment of base ball We're abolished at
this time. it is not difficult to see
that Judge Lands imagines q condi-
ton of uncertainty would develop
tnat would react dangerously TO
base ball both to the professional
organization and to the game gener-
ally.
There might be a reversion to the
old methods which pirated players
and ruined clubs. Should such a
state of affairs develop, as it Is fore
seen 1t might should the present
system of disinterested supervision
be abolished. then 1t is not hard to
imagine that the game would lose
its attractiveness to the boys from
whom players eventually have to be
recruited.
And I say" said Judge Landis,
the boys Of the United States do
not deserve this treatment. Rather
we cannot do too much to keep up
their interest
At present the wonderful manner
in which the competing units in pro-
fesstonal base ball are linked one
with another has a continent in
tently interested. Just what would
happen If the direction of the game
were removed is a matter for con-
sideration in connection with the
support given the present manner
Of placing executive control in the
hands of q commissioner.

C. u. AND MARYLAND

game. However, the. Pennsylvania ag-
gregation took the lead at the outset
and never was headed, although Coach
Fred Rice's charges made deter

G. U. hardly will find the going
easier in it's next two games, as
Juanita and Penn State have been
travelling at better pace through the
season than Bucknell. Penn State, in
fact. the other night stopped Syracuse,
which up to that time had an un-
blemished record Of Is victories.
Maryland drew a touch assignment
In the Mississippi Aggies for its tour
ney opener. but is picked to win by
the Atlanta critics by a close margin.
Kentucky, which went into the tourna-
ment undefeated by conference
team, is the favorite. with North Caro-
lima, the champion, second choice, and
Maryland rated as third in line. How
ever, the teams are admitted to be
closely matched in power, with any
one of the three, or Mississippi Univer-
sity, the fourth seeded team, as likely
to be handed surprises.
Maryland, after it's long trip, which
did not put 1t in Atlanta until 10
o'clock this morning, faces a big task
in tackling the Aggies. and If the Old
Liners win today they will have an
other formidable foe tomorrow in
North Carolina State. which is not ex.
pected to have any trouble with Au-

BY BROTHER GILBERT,

7 HAVE told you how Babe Ruth
was dicovered while playing ball
in the schoolyard of St. Mary's,
in Baltimore, and how he was signed
at first sight by Jack Dunn. manager
and owner of the famous Baltimore
Orioles, and we're now in the train
ing camp of the Orioles at Fayette-
vile, N. c., early in March in 1914
Ruth hadn't been nicknamed Babe
as yet.
It was his first day in camp. but his
antics kept every one in a high state
of amusement all the way from Balti
more to the camp. He hadn't slept
very much during the night: 1t waa
his first trip. He raced up and down
the cars. getting acquainted with
everybody. He was the biggest man
on the train, but he was the kid of the
bunch.
I don't know who was first to call
come, however.
After he had been given his equip
ment he beat all other players to the
ball park and was ready to 60 to work
The first time he went to bat he hit
the ball far out of the park, into q
cornfield. Jack Dunn to this day says
It was the hardest hit that Babe Ruth
or any other man ever made.
One of the veteran Oriole players
yelled to Dunn, the manager, to wire
Raleigh "a city far away to have an
outfielder in the park there to catch
the ball. 1t was headed that way.
