SCHULTZ SIGNS
1884 CONTRACT

The list is diminishing. An
other month and President Clark
Griffith believes he'll have every
member of his Washington Ball
Club in the folo.
The contract of Fred Schultz
was received today. Fred was
the guy y'know, who practically
carried the Griffs at bat in the
early days of the 1888 campaign,
and who played a bang up game
throughout the schedule even
though his batting fell off.
Also he was the guy who hit a
homer with two on base in the
world series, and the performer
who barely missed nabbing Mel
Otis drive which went for a
homer, winning the series for
the Giants.
Schulte's contract makes the
fifth to have been received by
Prexy Griffith in the last two
weeks. Ossie Bluege was first,
Monte Weaver, second, and rookie
pitchers, Ray Prim and Eddie
Linke, third and fourth.

Are we blue? Are we on the
fence?
George Washington University
basketball performers are asking
themselves these questions today
as they wonder how they'll fare
in the mid-year examinations
now in progress.
Apparently all of them are
blue, on the fence, etc. For
they're holding their collective
breaths until the marks are an.
nounced and they're either lin"
or "out" as far as sports actlvl-
ties for the remainder Of the
year are concerned.
Dallas Shirley, Bill Noonan,
Jimmy Howell, Barney Kane and
Jimmy Smith are apparently all
right, but Cal Griffith, Bill Par
rish, Tuffy LeemanS and Sammy
Stein are not so sure. They'll
all know the worst before the
week is ended, as final examina-
tions are due Friday.
The ColonlalS next game is
with Western Maryland on
Wednesday, January 81. Coach
Ted O'Leary hopes to have his
full strength, even Sammy Stein,
who has been on the shelf since
the Furman game because of a
leg injury.
Maryland University, to change
the subject, will go into it's
battles against Johns Hopkins to-
morrow and Virginia on Friday,
strengthened by the addition Of
Vic Willis, 6-foot 6-inch center,
who recently became eligible.
Willis, a son of the old Pitts
burgh Pirate pitcher, is an all
around athlete, having played
tackle on the grid team and first
base on the baseball team.

HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. %.
Mary Brandecchi created a new
worlds duckpin high game mark
here yesterday when she smashed
the naples for a 1876 game in the
Connecticut State League, with
the Wallingford team.
The new record will be submit

regulation conditions.
The record is now held by Rena
Levy, of Washington, who rolled

MEETING
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Not
wishing to speak for anybody ex'
cept himself, there will be an in
tercollegiate regatta at Pough-
keepsie this year, Maxwell Steven
son, chairman of the board, de-
clared today on the eve Of the
annual meeting Of the stewards.
Just who will take part and on
what basis, he was not prepared
to say. He was, in fact, guard
edly vague on a great many
points.
These struck me as being i'm
portant and even essential and
naturally one therefore might
have expected the regatta chair
man to be pardonably curious
about them, too, but it seems this
wouldn't be consistent with good
taste.
Didn't Wish to Ask
However, I fear L just wasn't
acting refined today, because I
kept asking Mr.. Stevenson queS-
tions he obviously hadn't wished
to ask others.
No, he had not sounded senti-
ment on the regatta among the
various member and guest
crews. It seems that isn't done
before the stewards meet. No,
there hadn't been any declara-
tions Of intent from those who
might be expected to enter. He
couldn't add anything beyond
this except that the meeting
would be held tomorrow and that
the race would take place this
time.
Last time, it didn't, because
most of the contestants were
taken Unexpectedly broke. The
result was that the West Coast
organized its own championship
down at Los Angeles, underworld
an invasion by Eastern crews,
brought in California and Wash
ington and, in a word, stole the
show.
Middle Of June
I don't profess to State that
this circumstance can have had
any bearing on Mr.. Stevenson'S
belief that he knows all about
the race-the date will be be-
tween the second and third weeks
of June, he thought-even before
he knows all about the crews.
Could he, for instance. say any,
thing for Pennsylvania whose
crews recently announced that. if
it came to a choice, they'd give
up Poughkeepsie instead Of the
dual races? No, he couldn't.
Could he offer anything on be-
half Of Cornell or Syracuse? He
neither could nor would. What
about the Navy and the Coast
crews? He really couldn't say.
You see. one doesn't talk about
those things now.
AS a champion prize fighter
once said, somebody might take
umbrage.

inquiring news scribes who were

POINTING
DAILY
BY GARRETT WATERS

It's more than three weeks
away, but various teams around
school sections of the city are
undergoing extensive prepara-
tionS just the same.
Track? Yep, the run and
Jump game, with the mentioned
preparations being held because
of the fourth annual indoor
track and field meet to be staged
by Catholic University, February
"a in the Catholic University
gymnasium.
This huge meet will offer
teams every sort of test and they
know it. Therefore. many have
begun practice performances for
the "big day. IN order to become
in complete readiness for the
events in which they'll strive for
honors.
Confident of Success
Although a great deal cannot
be told today as to the number
of entries expected and what
teams will send athletes, 9. U.
officials are confident the meet
will be one of the big successes
of the 1884 school term.
Besides the usual events for
collegiate tracksters, there'll be
events for high and prep schools,
a series of open events, including
all the dashes, hurdles and mile
runs, and a series of special events,
including the Ryan 1000" invita-
ton, Abbey Club 50-yard dash in
vitation, two-thirds mile relay, in
tercollegiate freshmen, and the
two-thirds mile Relay Clubs
events.
Among the college teams, the
Catholic University and Maryland
squads have been pointing especl-
ally for this meeting during the
past few weeks. Coach Dorsey
Griffith, of Catholic University,
has had his candidates out for
practice both indoors and out,
such as the weather might allow,
while Coach "Swede" 'Eppley, OF
Maryland, has had large squad
of men practicing in the indoor
track at the old University OF
Maryland gymnasium.
Are Best Known
Bob Connor and Ed Brennan,
milers, Mike Norton, hurdler, and
Jay Murphy, sprint man, are the
best known tracksters among the
Catholic University candidates,
while Bill Barrett, Jim McCor-
mick and Bob Steele, freshmen,
have been showing up we'll.
Maryland University features
Earl Widmyer as its topnotch
trackman. This stockily built
youngster can do just about
everything when 1t comes to
track, and Maryland is more or
less building it's entire team
around his shoulders.
Cornelius Cronan, Bob Archer,
Bob Sonen, Warren Evans, Cole
man Heady and Ed Quinn are
others who have been working
earnestly in recent practice ses-
sions. Still others include Don
Ashton, Everett Jones and Doug
Devendorf, distance men. The
aforementioned group are speciality
artists in the dash events, mile
and half mile and relay.

Tribute to GrGysOn
Paid By ALfGLfGns
He's Also HOrsenldn

He's a quiet little man with
black, shaggy eyebrows that vie
with those Of Clark Griffith,
and from his modest mien as
he darts around the nearby
race tracks, you'd hardly sus-
pect he mingles with the
mighty o. this country and at
one time was the personal
physician to a President of the
United States.
OF course I am speaking of
Cary T. Grayson, retired rear
admiral and one of the thor
oughbred turf's outstanding
sportSmen. Right now he is
recuperating from an opera
ton at the famous Rochester
Minn.) Mayo Brothers. His
scores on scores of friends N
official and sports life around
Washington inquire daily as to
his recovery.
Sincere Tribute
At the Alfalfa dinner 600
business and professional men
Of Washington lifted glasses
high to offer a toast to Cary
T. GraySon, and it was as sin
cere a tribute as l ever saw
paid any man. He stands no
higher in the civic and ma
tional life of Washington than
he does in the horse breeding
industry where he finds relax
ton from the arduous part he
plays in public affairs.
I expect Admiral Grayson
knows almost about as much
about equine anatomy as he
does of human anatomy. Horses
to him are a hobby and study
at the same time and annually
his stable, trained by Max
Smart and Preston Burch,
comes up with young racers
that go on to make their marks
on the tracks hereaboutS.
Admiral Grayson's most nota-
BILE service to the improving Of
the equine breed has been
through the National Thorough
bred Association, of which he is
one of the founders.
Hope To Do, Strolling Along
and My Own are horses which
come to mind which were de-
veloped by the Grayson menage.
I was immensely impressed by
the gesture of the Alfalfans the
other night and can add to
their hope for a speedy and
complete return to health for
Admiral Grayson, that of a de-
voted race world which holds
him in high devotion.

It Won't Be Long
Enough people have hailed
me in the last few days with
1T Won't Be Long, Now" that
I am beginning to suspicion
they are referring to the base
ball season, looking toward
which another month will find
little knots Of players heading
for the training spots.
I can't bring myself to be-
lieve that the Washington ball
club is seriously thinking Of
training at Puerto Rico next
year, the year following or
even the year after that. Sec
retary of War Dern has bid in
behalf of the island in a talk
with Clark Griffith.
Of course, if the War De-
partment wants to load the
Griffmen on a grey, armored
cruiser, transport them to the
tiny spot, put them up for a
month and a half and then
return them to some Southern
port in the States so that a
decent transforming trip might
be pursued northward, the plan
would have some economic and
competitive merits to the ball
club and would be a splendid
piece of publicity for Puerto
Rico.
Exhibition Games
AS understand matters, the
objection to Biloxi is that it is
too far out of the beaten path
of other major league clubs
which might afford spring ex-
hibition games. Where then,
would Puerto Rico come into
the picture?
Training a ball club isn't
merely a matter of going to a
warm cline and beginning to
throw and bat the ball around.
Without suitable competition
ahead of the regular schedule
no team can be ready to bag
those early games which stand
a club in such good stead when
the strain begins to tell, when
the hot months roll around and
when the double headers pile
up.
Too, the change in climate
when the teams come north is
drastic enough under the cur
rent custom, particularly when
one contemplateS the late
springs Of Boston, Chicago,
Cleveland and other points on
the American League compass.

TRAIL OF BROOKLYN
BANDITSSTILL COLD
Sullivan Issues Call for volun.
tsers to Work Until Robbery
Is Solved

Brooklyn, N. T., Aug. 23.-(P-A
call went out for detective volunteers
Thursday to work night and day un-
til the $427, 900 armored truck holdup
Of last Tuesday has been solved and
the robber mob captured.
The call for volunteers was sent
out by Assistant Chief Inspector John
J. Sullivan, in charge Of the city's
detective force, after 48 hours Of in
vestigation failed to unearth the
slightest trail leading to the robber
band.
Sullivan said that a sub-machine
gun, left at the scene Of the holdup
by the robbers was still being traced.
Although he still chung to the theory
that the holdup OF the truck in Brook
lyn Tuesday had been perpetrated by
a local gang, Sullivan requested au-
thorities in distant cities to check up
on recent movements Of known gang
sters.
Fingerprints found at the scene Of
the robbery do not tally with any Of
those on local police records, author
tiles have found.
A mystery boat perplexed investiga-
tors again Thursday. This time, It
was a lobster dory, found scuttled in
Jamaica Bay, in a cove which in pro-
hibition days was a favorite rendez-
vous for rum-runners.
The boat was examined at low
tide Wednesday night. It was about
so feet off shore. Holes had been bat
tered in its bottom: obviously 1t had
been purpoSely sunk.
Determined to learn II the dory was
one of the boats used by some Of the
bandits in making their getaway by
water, Brooklyn police ordered the
boat raised and lowed to dock for q
better examination.
