To Open Activities
With Field Day

A field day, featuring a lacrosse
match between the Washington
A. A. and Baltimore A. c., will in
augurate the District organization S
spring sports program. The plan
was adopted at last nights meeting
of the association, a newcomer on
the sports scene, which hopes to
encourage athletics for adults. The
program is scheduled April 13.
Baltimore annually ranks with
the best lacrosse teams in the
Nation and has more than one
championship to its credit. Its
talent is drawn from Johns Hopkins,
Maryland and st. John's-all hot
beds of the ancient Indian pastime.
Washington A. A. will number men
from the same institutions on its
roster, but Maryland will be the
principal source of supply.
Exhibitions in track, badminton,
trick horseshoe pitching and weight
lifting are scheduled tentatively.
Complete details will be worked out
and announced later.
The association, which officially
adopted the Washington A. A. title
last night, viii meet again Tuesday
at 8 pm. ut Force School Building,
1740 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
Election Of permanent officers Is
scheduled within the next three
weeks. Applicants for membership
should call Dick Tennyson at Michi-

Not Question Of Dates.
Contrary to the belief of some,
Gulfstream can get any racing dates
it wishes, if and when 1t is ready to
operate. It is situated in a differ
ent county from Hialeah and Trop-
ical Parks and as the only track
in Broward County can take its
choice. But Gulfstream's patronage
would have to come from the same
Miami area as the other two, and
there's no use having dates If you
haven't customers. .
There appears an outside posi-
bility that the harness-racing folks
might get together and take over
Gulfstream as a winter home for
that bucolic sport. They are known
to have made some cautious in
quiries.
The Gulfstream creditors hope
something comes of 1t. As they
pointed out. a winter season of

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 28.-Doc
Thompson Prothro figures it will take

him steamed up on the Phillies'
chances of climbing out of the Ma
tional League cellar.
I'm going to have to see some
f1rst-class playing by the gang down

tions," he said before leaving for
training camp.
The genial ex-dentist did venture
to hope the Phillies, who finished is
games behind the Seventh-place Bos-
ton Bees in 1899, would be stronger
this season.
Prothro summed up his proba able
lineup, but said spring practice
might cause many changes. OF his
pitchers, he picked Right-handers
Kirby Higbe, Hugh Mulcahy, Sylves-
ter johnson and Walter Beck, relief
hurler, as moundsmen he would de-
pend on mainly.
In the field, he said, Merrill May,
prize rookie of last year, likely would
start at third base and Bill Atwood,
back from Jersey City, probably
would be No. catcher.
If Morris Arnovich is in top form
therell be a chance of building up a
strong outfield, Prothro said.
His biggest worry now is getting
q first baseman. Deals are under way
to bring one up from the minors.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.-Los An.
geles' two stars of the fistic world,
Henry Armstrong and Ceferino
Garcia, ease of training routines
today, but blasts of confidence over
their battle Friday night grow
louder from each fighters camp.
The encounter, 10-round match
for Garcia's share of the middle
weight championship of the world,
promises to be one of the bitterest
in local ring history, with Hammerin'
Henry seeking to annex his fourth
title and Garcia out to avenge a 15-
round decision lost to the Negro
lad in November, 1898.
Garcia remains a slight favorite,
chiefly because of hefty weight
advantage and the fact that q
weeks postponement of the bout
may have worked more to his cause ..
than Armstrong;.
Henry Has Weight Trouble.
Eddie Mead, who piloted ARM
strong to the featherweight, light
weight and welterweight champion
ships, scoffed at hints that his
fighter may have gone stale with
the delay. He admitted. however,
he had encountered trouble in keep
ing Armstrong; weight up.
The bull-shouldered little Negros
natural poundage is few ounces
shy Of 40. Mead wants him to
weigh in around 141 or 142, If pos
sible, but the longer he had to
train, the harder it became to hold
it at this figure.
Garcia. murderous puncher
when one of his long shots con-
meets. figures to scale around 153
or 154.
In their New York engagement
Garcia complained that a postpone
ment similar to the present one
hurt him, because he took on weight
and had difficulty the day of the
fight making the welterweight
limit.
Garcia Gains Poundage.
Since then the Filipino, famed for
his lethal "bolo," or exaggerated
uppercut punch, has taken on
weight. He lifted the New York
California recognized middleweight
crown from Freddie Aposton in New
York last year, dared Al Hostak of
Seattle. the National Boxing Associ-
alton champion. to climb into the
ring with him to settle all dispute
over the title, journeyed to his ma
tive Manila, P. l., to knock out
Glen Lee and now defends his belt
against Armstrong, marvel of the
decade.
Many fight critics are on the limb
trying to pick the winner, but all
agree it should be one of the best
scraps in many years hereabouts.

Western Maryland hung it on them

Reese. Mirrison, Byham, Capt.

for his starting lineup and will sub
stitute freely in an effort to keep the
visitors on the run.

championship. The players are
George De Witt, Mearle Du Vail,
Milt MULTI, Pershing Mondorff,
Adam Bengoechea, Charlie Weld
niger, Gene Ochsenrieter, Leon VAN
nais and Art Woodward.
Maryland drew one of the to,s-
neys toughest assignments for the
opening round; Washington and
Lee, but Shipley harbors a suspicion
the Terps may pull an upset. The
Generals walloped Maryland by
comfortable margins in two regular
meetings and on form figure to make
1t three in row. But the games
don't always run true to form.
Because the game is not scheduled
until tomorrow night, Maryland de-
cided not to shove of until $50 to-
morrow morning.
Georgetown is expected to be New
York's eighteenth consecutive VIC

team Is hoping and cunning for an
upset. If Elmer Ripley's crew dupli-
Gates their performance against

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.-The
rosiest dream of all is that Sea-
biscuit will win the $l00,OOO added
Santa Anita Handicap and go down
in turf annals as the biggest money
winner of all time, but it will take
more than dreams to get the Biscuit
across the wire the winner in the
big race Saturday. 49,.
There is no doubt that a million
horse lovers are pulling for Sea-
biscuit to win. People who bet
against the gallant old campaigner
last week stood and shouted when
he burst across the finish line the
victor. They'll do it again this week
if a Seabiscuit triumph comes to
pass, only louder, and then again
louder.
But
The fact remains that the star
of the c. S. Howard stable failed
by nose to win the Santa Anita
classic in 1897 from Rosemont, and
failed. again in 1898, by another
nose, to Stagehand.
Facing Tremendous Task.
It seems like asking a lot to
believe he can do it in 1910. AS
courageous and sturdy as he is,
Seabiscuit, it would appear, can't
be any better than he was two years
ago: particularly after an injury
that put him on the shelf for al
most year.
He isn't growing any younger.
Those legs which pumped him to
victory after victory and into the
hearts of millions throughout the
Nation can't hold up forever.
Consider the cold figures Of the
weights. Seabiscuit must carry 130
pounds in the mile-and-one-quarter
grind. That was the weight he
carried against Stagehand. True,
Stagehand, a colt, packed only 100.
But in 1887 Seabiscuit carried ia
pounds and Rosemont 124.
There probably is no Stagehand
to worry about this year, however.
Feather-weight candidates, at this
date, don't seem to figure.
There are others of known merit.
