Xynch a rising young light weight who has been causing a sensation thi winter at Oakland Dubois became much dissatisfied with the work of Jockey Knapp last fall and decided to cut the latter out of his employ Lynch It was said recently might enter the employ of Frank Farrell but negotiations did not come to a head before the boy got into trouble with the Oakland stewards because of several queer rides Those who have seen Lynch on the Coast say that he is a natural horseman possessing a cool head and much clev erness in getting away from the barrier He needs experience and Bubois thinks that

and Gray five scoring at will George Colllflower and Fred Rice were the bright stars for Georgetown Colllflower making a basket nearly every time he received the ball About the middle of the first half Goth was injured and retired in favor of Roach while during tUe second half Rice went In for George Colllflower William and Mary played a fair game but their attempts at the throwing of baskets was very poor for out of tne many attempts that were made they onlj succeeded in making two their other four points be ng made upon free throws The Blue and Gray team on the other hand put up a fine exhibition of ball Their passing and dribbling was especially noticeable The attendance at the game was veiy poor and the lack of students was especially noticeable Georgetown has a basketball teem that is the equal of any In the country and they deserve the support both moral and financial of their student body If the students do not take enough Interest In the game to attend the contests then why do they want to nave a team Up to the present the students at the Blue and Gray school have always been very loyal in the support of their various teams but for some unknown rea son there seems to

BOWLING EESULTS Washington Bunter Coleman Leach Giovannour Casassa Root Cole Dr Joseph Rielly Dr Joseph Reilly the coach of the football team for the past three years and one of the greatest athletes that has ever attended Georgetown has been selected by Manager Moran as coach of the Blue and Gray track team Dr Reilly earned his varsity letter in three different branches of sport within one year This is a distinction that falls to the lot of but few athletes In choosing Joe Reilly Manager Moran has made a wise selection for the Doc knows the running game from beginning to end He gained his early knowledge of the sport while attending the Boston Latin School of Boston After leaving Boston he entered Georgetown and made the football team that fall ran on the track team during the winter and rowed on the crew In the spring For the follow ing three ears he played football and ran on the team captaining it one year He had as his team mates at Georgetown such men as Billy Holland the great quarter mller who broke the recorS for this distance at Mechanics Hall in Boston and his mark still stands as a record for the distance in that hall Sam Owens the old football end now a practicing physician in this city was likewise a team mate of Reilly at Georgetown It was Joe Reilly who went to St Louis in the spring of 1903 and opened the eyes of the Westerners as to what an Eastern man could do on the track After win ning points on the dashes he went out and established a new Western record for the 400 ard event On Team with Duffy Preston Edmonston another famous quarter miler of Georgetown was also a running irate of the new coach The famous little Arthur Duffy who lowered the worlds record for the 100 yard dash was also a member of the track team during Reillys time Though Duffy record has been equaled in the West no one east of the Mississippi has ever touched It Dan Kelly of Oregon made the 100 in 9 3 5 en the Coast but when he came to compete in the Jamestown games last spring he was not able to duplicate the feat nor even to get placed in the event which was won in 10 2 5 seconds To morrow afternoon th candidates for tne tracK team win report to Capt De vyie and Coach Reilly at the Ryan Gymnasium There promises to be more material this year at Georgetown than ever before and Judging from the past performances of some of the men there should be a hard fight for the team Candidates for nearly every event have expressed their intention of coming out Among the most likely men for the relay team besides captain Devine are Cohen and Montgomery members of last year 8 team Boyle is the only relay man missing from last year 3 four and there are several good men In school that can fill his shoes Martin and Glbbs who ran on the Preps last year Mudd a member of the team two years ago Eddie Miller the fast football end and captain of the team for the coming season will be out as will Mohen another football man In the hurdles there is Smith ho for the last three years has hold down third on the ball team while Fitzgerald can get over five feet in fie high Jump without any training Glennon Woods and Madden with big Cy McDonald should be able to get away with the shot put In the sprints besides Captain Devine there are Montgomery and Cohen Georgetown Invited The Irish Athletic Association of New York has extended Georgetown an invitation to participate in their games that are to take place in the metropolis on February 8 This invitation the manager was obliged to decline as the track team is allowed to compete only in interscho lastlc and collegiate meets Several other trips are in view however Columbia University of New York holds a meet on February 15 to which Georgetown has been invited and It is more than likely that they will send a team Then there is the Fordham meet which Is to be held later in February Georgetown will most likely be seen at the two Southern meets Norfolk and Richmond which are to be held during the month of March BY ED GRIULO Six weeks from next Thursday Manager Cantillon and his hopefuls will leave Chicago for Galveston Tex where the team wllLdo its spring tralnng Though the local club has forty or more names onMts reserve list It Is not likely that more than twenty four men will be taken South The weeding out of this extra material Is already under way and willbe completed before the time for starting South rolls around While there Is no denying the fact that the team this year promises more than any that has represented this city In many years still It Is largely an experiment and there Is no way of figuring it a pennant possibility But It Ts a team which may prove a surprise In that it will be more troublesome than It has ever been before since Washington secured a berth in the American League Everything of course depends upon the form tho new men display If Freeman plays the same kind of ball with the Nationals that he did for Minneapolis last season and McBrlde keeps up his Kansas Clty pace then the team will have been strengthened 50 per cent Of course that third base position is always a hard one to fill but there Is no occasion for worrying about It In Shipke Cantillon has one of the greatest fielders in the business to day He is a bit weak with the stick It is true but for all that he Is capable of holding down the position to the satisfaction of every one Dave Altizer Is to have a trial at the bag according to advices from official circles and who knows that he will not be able to fill the place If he can hold up his end in fielding he would be a most valuable man for the place since his hitting and speed on the bases would be of great help to the team on the inside While Cantlllons outfield may not be a world beater it nevertheless compares favorably with more than one of the American League teams garden defenses Ganjey Pickering and Clymer are a fast hard hitting trio which will field well enough Then there is Milan and Kay one of whom will no doubt be retained to fill the utility outfield roll Milan looked to be the more experienced ball player showed who may velop Into a great star If given the opportunity to learn the game The fact that the big fellow cannot only hit but is fast to fir3t base gives him a great advantage over the average youngsters But he knows little of the game and it is questionable if Cantillon will hold him for the Nationals probably preferring to let him develop in some minor league The Nationals Ditchers will be strong providing Smith Falkenberg and Hughes have a good year for no one seems to doubt that Walter Johnson has come to stay Falkenberg would be one of the leading twirlers of the league If he was not Inclined to lose his head at critical moments Let the tall lad be a few runs ahead or get Into a game when It 1s hopelessly lost and he looks like the greatest ever But in a close game he Is very apt to go skyward at the very moment when he should do his best work There lsiot the slightest doubt about Street ability to make good behind the bat and Warner will be about the same as he was last year but one other man Is needed and If Cantillon succeeds in getting Frank Roth of Milwaukee he will be very well supplied behind the bat Judging a ball team on paper Is a very unsatisfactory undertaking and as a rule there are many upsets When the team takes the field However there is this satisfaction about the Nationals they cannot do worse than they have in several years and they may do better Let us hope so There has been an unusual amount of hot air turned loose in baseball circles this winter There have been two threats of war and It is a pretty good guess that neither will materialize The Union League talk of coming Into Washington is absurd otf the face of it To begin with it is a physical Impossibility to prepare grounds in time for the seasons opening and furthermore the new organization would be nothing more than a semi professional league since Its promoters say they do not intend to raid any of the teams under organized baseball in clnnatlto manage the team there Leach Is one ofHhemost valuablea3St3 pt the Pittsburg club and no price that the Cincinnati club would pay can make up the loss the Pirates will suffer byMosing this player Bnt Leach Jn the face of all sorts of offers stood Jr the Pittsburg club during the war andenow that he has a chance to better himself It Is not likely that the Pittsburg club will stand in hlsway The acquisition of Leach jzould do much to Tevlve interest In baseball in only Is he popular there but betng a great ball player he will strengthen the team and there is every reason for be 1eving that he has the ability to make a winner out ofhe aggregation which will be placed irLhla hands Connie Mack holds one unique record IrftSA fan that AM iTta aAVon MlrR management of the Athletics ie has succeeded In making only one trade This took place1 last year when he gave Third Baseman Knight and

maae an exenange or piayers ourrigni This slne ular clrcumar9nr Bhorrsi how Macks Judgment Is respected by other managers for his isolation in the matter of trades is by no means voluntary Macknas often proposed deals to other managers but in every Instance his offer has been turned down Tne other managers cant conceive how the sagacious Mack Would make a trade in which he did not get a great deal the better of it In several instances Mack made a proposition that would have incontest ably strengthened another club bat still this deal was declined He offered three good men to fit Louis for Pitcher Harry Howell One of the Athletic players who was a part of the proposed deal was In a slump at the time and It was believed that his days of usefulness were at an end But this player immediately recov red his grip and now Alack wouldnt make a straight trade of the player for Howell which Is no reflection on the Browns star boxman Jimmy McAleer missed a chance to strengthen his team merely because of the fear all managers have of swapping with Mack While he Is cut oft from trading in his own league Mack has been successful enough In obtaining collegians minor leaguers and big league cast offs to win tWQpennants in seven years and to be a championship contender in every other year TO CHOOSE COACH SOOH Bocock orvLarkin WilLTrain Botball Team BOTH STAB PLAYEES IN PRIME

MANAGER BIDDLE Will Again Have Charge of Hatchet ites Basketball Team yer last fall though Kays hitting George Washington University Sends an Filt1 1 nuUilitter Apology to Yale for Causing Ten day Suspension Following the report of the George Washington University athletic council upholding the suspension of Manager Biddle of the basketball team for allowing Cramer and Reges two alleged professionals to compete comes the Teport that Graduate Coach Wilson has reinstated Biddle and that he will again have charge of the Hatchetlte squad The reason for Wilsons action In this case is unknown but it is said that he had authority to act as he did Biddle accompanied the team to Annapolis yesterday It was stated with authority last night that George Washington University has sent an apology to Xale as the result of practically forcing them to play against two men who were not students at the university This caused the suspension of the New HaVen team for ten days Yale had to postpone the game at Mont clalr last night on this account TO GIVE A SILVER TROPHY Though no one has been chosen to coach the Georgetown football team next fall the choice practically lies between two men Branch Bocock and Bunny Larkln Both men are old Georgetown players Bocock being a member of the team for three years and was captain during his last year He is a Washington boy and gained his early knowledge of the game while attending a local prep school During his last year at Georgetown he played quarter It was at this position that he showed his thorough knowledge Of the game He could size up the opposing team at a glance pick out the weak point and drive his plays against this spot However his greatest ability aa af gridiron yarrior was on the defense Bo was never known to miss a tackle and It was while trying to make a flying tackle that he fractured his Jaw In Interfering with a runner he was the equal of the famous I McGettigan the best quarter and all round football player that ever donned the togs at the Blue and Gray school At all times he had his head about him and used it This was shown in the Georgetown George Washington game a year ago when he heeled a kick on the Hatchetltes 44 yard line and then holding the ball for Hodgson who made a beautiful place kick netting the Creek school the first score of the game Was Good Oarsman His ability as an athlete Is not confined to football alone as he is an oarsman and a bail player as welL He rowed on the Georgetown second Tew one year and on the crew of the Potomac Boat Club two years During his second year at Georgetown he caught for the Blue and Gray reserves As a coach he has had some experience For two years he coached the Western High School team of thi3 city The year Cup will Be Presented to Point

baseball they have never found a soarcity of it here There have been all sorts of amateur leagues operated in this city and the class of ball they furnished was by no means the worst Washington may not have a team In the American League which furnishes a high class article of baseball but there Is always the satisfaction of knowing that the opposing teams in the past at least have been able to Illustrate how the game should be played The threat of the American Association to break Into Chicago seems to be losing much of its spirit and the chances are that the Amerlcort Association circuit will remain thesame as it has been because the organization cannot afford to get tied up in a war with the major and minor leagues operating under the national agreement Indications are that Tommy Leach one of the squartst little men in baseball wL1 be rewarded by the Pittsburg club for his loyalty byyailowins him to go to Cln Georgetown University and halls from Elmlra NT After finishing the prep school he entered the collegiate department of Cornell and for twj yeara was the star end of the football team After finishing at Cornells he came to Georgetown and entered the medlcaj school He played half back on the 1904 team the best team that has ever represented Georgetown on the gridiron He had as his running mate Bub Hart who will ever beC remembered at Georgetown on sccountof his

past three years was falso a member of that team as was Bodger Carroll and Leo MartelL Larkln is thoughtso much of by Cornell as a student and player of the game that he has been called to Cornell every year for the past three seasons to aid in coaching the team for the big games He also coached Carlisle Iastfall and it was owing to him ln a great measure that the Carlisle ends were able to break up so many forward passes as well as to execute them His experience in assisting with the coaching of sucn teams as Cornell aha the Indians will stand him in good stead at Georgetown Rielly Retires Immediately after the close of the season last fall Dr Rielly the former Blue and Gray coach aid that after this year be was through with athletics and that he had no desire to coach a football team again During the past twelve years he has been very closely associated with the game playing It for nine and coaching fox the past three and he expressed the desire to be able to view one from a seat In the stand that he might be able to see it from a spectators point of view At the present time the manager is engaged in making up his schedule for the coming ear Virginia will of course occupy a prominent place as will the Tar Heels though as yet no definite date tias been set for either of these two games I has also asked for a game and it is more than likely that their wish will be granted Randolph Macon also wishes to meet Georgetown upon the gridiron as do several other colleges from south of the Mason and Dixon line No one has been taken on as yet to fill the Thanksgiving Day date that was formerly given to George Washlngtoi Some are advocating the playing of Virginia upon that day but there does not seem much probability of this being done as the Virginia game is a big one in Washington football circles and necessarily that late In the season a game must be called at 2 30 to finish it before dark On this day when every one Is enjoying a good turkey dinner a person has to be a mighty strong advocate of the game to leave his meal or hurry through it to be present in time for the kick off HATORETITES PROVE EASY JOE KELLEY SIGNS A silver trophy cup

That the flght for this trophy which will be the permanent property of the organization winning It will resolve Into a dual contest between the University of Virginia and Johns Hopkins seems cer tain although the men from one of the clubs or the schools may prove dark horses The Gurley Athletic Club of ttys city will have some good men in all the open events while the Baltimore City College ana tne Episcopal Hlgn school of Alex andria may score a sufficient number of points in the scholastic events to overbalance the total of their older rivals Next to the two mile relay race for the Southern championship between the teams of George Washington the Univer sity of Virginia and Johns Hopkins 4ha tussle for the point trophy promises to be the most interesting feature of the games One of the feature scholastic events will be the one mile relay race between the Western and Business High School teams There seems Just now very little choice between the candidates for the two quartets although the boys from West Washington have had more experience Capt Crampton of Westernr will not make the final choice of his team until a day or two before the games but it looks as If these boys
