Speaking of,,Sports

Adam Sullick. mainstay in the catching position for Kensinston. has left the team. ac6ording to the latest reports. sulliek and Manager Killarney couldn't come to an agree ment regarding finances. 1t is stated.
 Bruno Kania is reported to have taken the same action with the Fall cons because of the same reason. This leaves . fairly good battery open for negotiations for any team managers who want ther,.
 It wouldn't surprise us bit to see Sullick signed up immediately by the Falcon team. Kopec injured his throwing arm in last Sundays game at St. Mary's field and although no definite news Is known as to just how long he will be out of the game, some say he will be away for lengthy tme. sullick would fit in perfectly with the Falcons as backstop.
 Manager Johnny Tobin' of the Corbin Red Sox. always on the look out for new and young blood, has had his eye on budding star of the diamond for the past few seasons. He has como to an agreement with Micky Rabbit Bucheri of the Orioles and Landers. Frary & Clark team for . tryout at shortstop on the Rcd Sox.
 Iobtn is apparently making no mistake in securing Micky for the short station. Rabbit" has shown plenty of stuff for youngster and he is about the most promising candidate for an infield position to arise in the ranks in the last couple of years. We predict that Micky will make good because he will pick up in his hitting as he gains ex- perlenee.
 Officials of the Mohawk A. C. are busily engaged in preparing the card for the next amateur fight tournament which will be held at the Tabs hall on Main street. The officials arc planning to pair up fighters who will furnish fully as good tournaments as the club has been giving during the past few months.

Another factor that the Blue and
Gray alumni might well note is that
Georgetown is not going to get the
kind of basket ball games it desires
until it acquires a suitable playing
floor. Most of the colleges of any size
now have regulation playing floors,
and all these colleges in arranging
their schedules make every effort to
list opponents that have gymnasiums
or other buildings with regulation
courts. 1t has almost come to the
point where colleges simply will not
schedule games with other colleges
that have floors that are too small for
the sport.
