LITTLE WORLD
SERIES" OPENS
HERE TONIGHT
Winners of Split Season,
Douglas and Moose, Meet
at Firemen' S Park

Two months ahead of the big
leaguers down in the States, Gas
tineau Channel this evening opens
up its own little World Series,
with the Douglas Islanders, winners
of the first half of the 1888 pen
nant race, invading Fifsmen's Park
to tackle the Moose, 1887 champions
and second-half champs this sea-
son.
Woeful are the visages of both
team managers as they prepare TO
lead their squads into the playoff
series that will determine the Gas
tineau Channel Baseball League
titleholder for 1888.
With quavering voice and CULVER
ing finger Manager Art McKinnon
points to the long list of casualties
affecting his Moose aggregation. A
big share of his plate power is miss
ing with Tom Martin and home run
clouter Joe McNamee injured and
i'll respectively. Second base guar
dian Fritz Schmitz is likewise on the
injured list with bad foot, and,
still a further blow, catcher Kelly
Blake is far from the wars on a
trip south. There's more than
enough grief for any manager, de-
clared McKinnon, not without rea-
son. The only glimmer Of light he
can see is the possibility that Mar
tin may be recovered in time to
take his outfield post for at least
part OF the vital series.
On the other hand, though Mana
ger Walt Andrews has his squad
practically intact, there are dark
forebodings in his mind as he points
to the lack of hitters on his squad.
How can we win games with not
even one 300 hitter on our whole
team?" is his plant And there, he
puts a problem.
That the days are getting shorter
and playing time scarcer was
brought out by the final regular
game Monday evening which had to
be called because of darkness after
only six innings of play. With that
example in mind, league officials
have stressed that the playoff games
must commence not later than 6
o'clock for the seven-inning week
day contests. Players, officials and
spectators are warned to be at the
park on time.
Following tonight's opening bat
tie, the Little World Series" will
continue with games Friday eve
ming and Sunday afternoon.
U. S. District Attorney William A.
Holzheimer, league president, has
also warned against vandalism at
the ball park. A few days ago pieces
of broken glass were found strewn
along the base baths and from the
pitchers slab to the plate, in places
where they would be likely to in
jure players diving for balls or Slid
ing into bases. s. s$*

Pastor never has fought in

meet in the ring next June.
Pastor agreed to be in Washing

CYCLISTS WAGE
WAR With A. A. U.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 G.N.SD .
When the Amateur Athletic Union
benevolently announced, recently,
that it had officially taken anna
teur cyclists under it's wing, it
reckoned without the National
Cycling Association. Today, there
is a bitter controversy raging be-
tween the two groups over control
of the sport.
Warning that riders who take
part in meets sponsored by the A.
A. U. would be ineligible for Olym
pic competition, Patrick A. Null
vey, chairman of the board of con-
troll of the N. c. A., declared the
association is the sole governing
body of amateur bicycle racing,
and has been recognized by he
American Olympic Committee as
such.
Mulvey charged the A. A. U. had
collected dues for years, but had
left the financing of the cyclists
competition in the Olympic games
to the N. C. A.

his handlers did at the end of the
fifth round.

COACH THREE YEARS
Dobson has been coach at

the best campaign the Terps
have had since 1881 when
the Terps won the Southern
Conference GRID title.
Before coming to Maryland,
DobSon was coach at the U1f
versity of Richmond for 81
years. Prior to that time he was
head of the football teams at
Clemson, for four seasons, and
the University of Georgia, one
year.
In addition to his football
teaching, the Maryland mentor
was employed as a scout for the
Pittsburgh baseball club.

X KNOCKDOWN IN
SEVENTH GIVES
.CEV|NSON EDGE
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

Charley Reynolds, referee. and
Bob Eller, judge, found Lou Gev-
inson victorious against Armando
Stella in 10 rounds of boxing last
night at Turner's Arena. There
shall be no dispute against the
findings of the jury. Well, not
very much of a dispute, at any
rate.
Gevinson scored a knockdoWn
in the seventh round, landing a
smashing wallop to Sicilia's head.
The Chicago boy regained his feet
before a count could be started.
THIS knockdown may have swayed
the jury toward the Gevinson side
of the argument, and against the
findings of the jury there shall
be no dispute.
The dissenting opinion was writ
ten by Judge Schuyler. He failed
to see where Gevinson's knock,
down in the seventh round en-
titled him to a decision. He per-
haps thought that Stella had out
scrambled GevinSon for a greater
part of the distance, smacking
Louis ears down with annoying
left jolts, and smashing his mid
section with righthanderS, which,
had they packed any authority
might have ended the fight before
the tenth round.
AWARD CHEERS JURY
A capacity crowd cheered the
findings of the jury, against which
there can be no dispute. Gevin'
son, with a smoked eye and a
slight trickle of blood showing
on his swarthy features, pursued
Stella all over the ring, and fin
ished at a good clip. Whether OF
not he actually erased the early
advantage won by Stella will be a
matter of debate among those who
do not care very much for the
findings of a jury, but who are
willing to dispute anything that
comes down the line.
Stella started the fight In
clever style, landing righthand
swings, not pretty to watch, but
effective point winners. He beat
Gevinson to the punch, and moving
from LOUIS lethai left, carried the
round. For the first four rounds
Stella did about as he pleased ir
a crude but canny sort of fight
ing. He led that right and landed
it on the body with minute CUR
regularity. When Lou charged
winging with the left, Stella
smothered it, or blocked it.
Now this may seem bit con
troversial in view of the decision
and always remember that against
the findings of the jury there

it to prevent a fall. Then he
chose to stand.
The box commissioners an.
nounced his purse would be held
up and he would be suspended
from further boxing in Mary
land and in the 80 States allied
with the National Boxing ASso-
citation.
Sammy's handlers and Pro-
moter Earl Harris had trouble
with Sammy ever since his re-
turn bout with Gum was an
nounced. It was publicized as
a "grudge" match because Gum
got a decision over him a few
months ago in very close con-
test. But Sammy hadn't any
grudge against anybody last,
night, not alone his opponent.
