Train at Charlottesville Orange and Blue Not to Play Harvard Clrarlottesvtlls Va Jan 26 Henry fi MacKay jr of Norwich Conn manager of the Virginia baseball team today completed all arrangements for the return here in March of the Montreal club of the International League Acting for President Litchenheim of the Montreal club he secured desirable quarters for the squad in what was formally known as the University Hotel on West Main street within a square of the college grounds Meals will be served the players in the twin dwelling next door by Mrs Brown who operates a student boarding houge President Litchenheim wrote Manager MacKay that he would have his battery candidates here by March 15 ten days later than the scheduled arrival of Manager Clarke Griffith of the Nationals with his squad of pitchers and catchers One week later the remainder of the Montreal squad will follow One month will be spent here In practice on Lambeth field at the university The Montreal club was highly pleased with its stay here last spring The players remained some while after the departure of the Washington club and encountered much better weather than did the Nationals They were exceedingly anxious to return and lost no time this spring in applying for permission to again use the university athletic field Have Not Scheduled Exhibitions Manager MacKay stated today that no games had yet been scheduled between Montreal and the college nine It is more than probable however that the clubs will meet in a series of two or three games As the Canadians report much earlier this spring than last it is not improbable that morning games will be arranged with the Nationals If such contests are scheduled Manager Griffith of the Nationals will be given an opportunity to size up the material of the Montreal club There is little prospect however of his finding with the visitors another player of the Gandil type though Montreal is said to have quite a likely strjng of players this vear It has been announced that negotiations for a football game between Harvard and Virginia had fallen through due to the fact that the manasrements could not asrree upon a date suitable to both elevens Harvard offered the Southerners November 15 but Virginia had already closed witb Georgetown The other dates men tioned were found impracticable so all idea of playing the Crimson had to be abandoned It is quite probable that tne two teams will meet on the gridiron in 1911 Negotiations will be begun at the close of next season and a date suitable to both agreed upon The advisory board of the general ath letic association through its president Carrington Williams Is now In corre Bpondence with both the Pennsylvania and Princeton managements in the hope of filling the open date The present pros ipects are that a contest will be arranged with the Quakers to be played on TanK lin field The date will probably be Sat urday October 11 Manager McMorries has added one game to his schedule a

Have Monogram Men Unite for Purpose of Unifying All Sports Special to The Washington Post Lexington Va Jan 26 Last Wednesday night pursuant to a call issued by Mr McWane president of the General Athletic Association the monor gram wearers in Washington and Lee University came together for the purpose of organizing a Monogram Club In a few words Mr McWane stated the object of tlie meeting saying that the organization of a club such as the one contemplated would serve to unify athletics and at the same time put upon the university monogram even a greater premium than ever before Another feature of the club would be its social side which would consist of monogram figures at the university dances banquets and other activities Mr Raftery suggested that the club after becoming organized might apply for a chapter In the National Athletic or Monogram Fraternity which was recently organized at the University of Illinois and has already received petitions for 60 chapters Other men who spoke in favor of the proposed plan were Messrs Moran Miller and Rothrock They said they indorsed it because it would be an organization based on merit and worth where everything would be to gain and nothing to lose and because it would fill a real need in the university Accordingly it was moved and carried that officers be elected and the club be put on a permanent basis The officers chosen were President McWane vice president Tom Rothrock Secretary William Miller treasurer Glasgow Earwood was elected to lead the monogram figure in the February dances Appoint an Organizing Committee President McWane then appointed as a committee on permanent organization Tom Rothrock Peck and Glasgow It was definitely decided that the National Athletic Fraternity should be approached with a view of petitioning it for a chapter at Washington and Lee This fraternity occupies the same place In the college athletic world that Phi Beta Kappa occupies in the literary world There is no doubt that the club will exercise a remarkable influence over all athletic activities in the university It is made up of every monogram wearer in college and is therefore composed of men who know from experience the conditions in each department and are best qualified to advise and suggest in reference to matters pertaining to them The standard of the club will be such as to offer greater encouragement to others to win a monogram Its membership will be the whos who in athletics at Washington and Lee It has been suggested that alumni who won monograms while in college should be admitted as members and articles to this effect will undoubtedly be incorporated in the constitution The next meeting of the body will be called when the committee on permanent organization Is ready to make a report BY CHRISTY MATHEWSOJf Rube Marquard will be with the Giants next year according to some information whidh I received indirectly from him this week He probably will knot be on hand for the training reason but he has decided to return to baseball after having retired for the winter I got the news from a baseball man who hart talked with him less than one week ago and the Rubes only probH lem now Is to get back Jnto the good graces of the Giants manager and the New York fans If he has a good season he does not need to worry but if he should fall into a bad year he has fixed It so that he will receive no end of a panning from the fans not to mention his boss EveVy time that he is taken out of the box next summer there will be an opportunity for a pointed reference to his actions of this winter But let Marquard come through with a great year and nobody will remember what he has been doing this winter I look for Marquard to have a good year in spite of the many prophets of evil Rube is young and can stand more work than a lot of persons give him credit for However If this story reaches him I would earnestly recom mend that he report at Martin because he is going to let himself in for a very much easier summer of it by doing this Not only will he start away In good physical shape but he will stand a better chance of being pardoned for the interviews which he has scattered over the country this winter With the return of Marquard the Giants willbe well off for pitchers this year because Demaree Is sure to be valuable He may not toe a regular worker but he showed last fall that he has the head to remain in the big league That 4s the important thing the head Demaree has a style which will not per mlt him to work very often His delivery is something similar to Wlltses form with the exception that he is a right hander It is a peculiar little jerk with the arm and he does not gef his entire weight into it But Demaree has good judgment and can size up a batter he uses his head He is not like a callow and green youth just breaking in He has had a lot of experience in the minor leagues and has acquired a poise which some of the other youngsters who may some day develop into greater pitchers than he have not yet attained Demaree gets a sharp break to his cutvc and he has a very good change of pace that he delivers with the same motion that he uses for his fast ball MODIFIES THE A A STOEY Resident Chivington Says Invasion by Minor Clubs Is Not Assured Chicago Jan 2S President A Chivington of the American Association says the report that minor league teams would be permitted to invade Milwaukee St Paul Minneapolis Indianapolis or Columbus during the coming season was premature lAt the annual meeting a committee was appointed to investigate the feasibility of such action and the conditions under which the teams would be allowed to enter That committee has not had a meeting nor has it made any report The conditions might not suit the smaller leagues so It would be best for the organizations not to take any Immediate action WOLVES WIN BIG DERBY Driven by John Johnson in 65 Mile Race Over Snow Trail Nome Alaska Jan 26 The Solomon derby for flog teams from Nome to Solomon and

championship today by defeating the iltfe holders Quincy A Shaw and George JR Fearing jr also of Boston In the final rhatefljof rthls years tournament iitiL ao a 5iJi Speaking of pitching form McGraw called my attention to a picture the other day that largely explains John Coombs success Coombs is not a big man when compared to pitchers built like Tesreau RnnrhnoVi or Marauard or even my self He has not the height which is a valuable aBset 4n the art and gives more on to the fast ball He is con siderably under 6 leet snouio say Tnk at that picture said McGraw showing me an old photograph of a game in the 1911 worlds penes at me jtuju nfl which he had just come across that shows why Coombs Is a great nltnTipr We studied it for a minute The pic turn wn taken lust as the ball was leav in nonmbs hand and he is balanced away up on his toes while it is evident that every ounce of weight in his body is in the pitch His position makes that plain while the tense lines in his face a hnw the effort which he is making I am going to keep that picture said McGraw and show it to some of my vnimtrators want them to study it see if they cannot get the knaek of putting the weight behind the pltcn Fans often wonder why some large men cannot develop a great amount of speed It Is because they do not know how to annlv their strength They cannot get their weight into the pitch It is like driving an automobile with the clutch slipping The power is there all right but it does not get to the back wheels so what is the use of it Both the Giants and Yankees Frank Chance please pardon are to play at the Polo ground this year and my comment will be only transitory for that is one of the phases of the game in which a player is not supposed to be interested It is the business of the owners of the clubs However I think it will be a good thing for both clubs It seems a shame that such a fine stadium should be empty half of each season while the home team is on the road but for a permanent arrange men I think it would be bad because it takes some of the healthy rivalry and zest out of the game It Is a return of the courtesy which Frank Farrell showed the Giants when he offered American League park to the club within one hour after the Polo ground stand had been burned In 1911 Frank Chance will not need to feel like a stranger at the Polo ground either he would If be went to the old park on the hilltop He will be able to tell his right fielder how to play the ball off the wall so that he can keep the hit to one base Dont follow the ball but wait for the carrom Jack Murray might be able to give a little instruction in this art Connie Mack has sent Bender Plank and Coombs to San Antonio Tex to start conditioning for next year Connie evidently wants to win the pennant this year and it is no secret that he blames his pitchers for the way his team fell off In the race last season Bender and Coombs were of little use all summer Coombs because of a strain which he received in the previous worlds series and Bender it is said with Connie Mack the authority for the statement because he failed to keep in condition Bender has been taking good care of himself thlp winter and had just returned from a hunting trip in the best of shape before starting south Coombs is said to be entirely over his old jnjury and with these three men in fojrn I dont see how any club in the American League is going to stop the Athletics this time The rest of the team is there as strong as ever The whole trouble wlthJMacks pitching staff now is that there Is not much youth in it Plank and Bender have been working In the big leagues for a good many years and they are bound to crack some time Plank started Jn the game as big leaguer the same year that I did He came from Gettysburg Pa apd I frc Factoryville We are both still hanging on with Plank producing the best Reason of his career last year He seems to improve with age like a pair of shoes jmd wine The failure of

easy exer ciseor tne nrstiew weens wiuiout anyr The life of an umpire has greatly improved in the last few years Most managers refuse to permit their players to argue with the arbiters now There used to be a class of ball players in the game who found fault with the umpire In an effort to 4lur their own shortcomings and alibi themselves with the crowd Managers soon catch on to this and McGraw is quick to append the can to any of his players who try it Some of the newspaper writers are finding fault because I said when Mike Donlin was transferred to Philadelphia there was a possibility that he might manage that team some time in the future Thi statement which I made was not at all posirtive but I was simply passing along a little insldegossip that I had heard It is a cinch that If the Philadelphia clubdoes not finish higher this season than it did last year William Locke is going to look around for a remedy i Coprrigh 1M3 by the McChire Newspaper Sjn aicate grind of a long race

lzlnsthemiyejUiattheyagomba qui making a last stana ror another sea son That Is the hardest task which a man ager has this shifting of the old stars out of the line up and replacing them with youngsters but it is the rule of the pro iession ana none can live long as leaders who do not follow It There comes a last spring for all of us when the snap Is gone Out of the old whip and age kicks the pedestal out from underneath the star In this open season for holdouts Henry ODay has joined the ranks Henry says that he wants more money If he is to umpire this season He says that as far as enjoyment goes he knows of several ways In which he can have more fun than by acting as a sponge for all the abuse the players and fans want to hand him to soak up Hank never was much of an absorber of abuse from the players He got at least an even break in most of his arguments and closed his career as an umpire with ah average of at least However Hank would be handi capped this year in any nights ot re partee because of his experience as a manager last year The disgruntled fans and players would always have that to refer to He realizes this fact And it would no doubt hurt him Hank thinks perhaps that he could get a berth man aging a club in a minor league possibly getting experience as Connie Mack did after his first big league start Really ODay was not such a flivver as a manager He drove his team through the race in the face of adverse criticism and it finished In the first division Because Henry didnot look as bright as one of the Broadway electric display signs the Cincinnati newspapers found fault with him EVANSELECTED TO PRESIDENCY Minstrel Favorite Chosen as Head of Baseball Fraternity Famous Flayers as Officers George Honey Boy Evans the perennial minstrel

formidable teams in the Monumental City Some weeks ago when the same team made Its bow before the sporting public In a game with Catholic University there were very few Indeed who conceded it a chance to make anything like a creditable showing There was hardly a redeeming feature in the teams play work Jn practically every department being way below the ordinary Authorities at the downtown Institution were not long in finding out that there was something radically wrong The deficiencydeficiency was Immediately disclosed In lack of proper coaching and within 24 hours of the disclosure Frank Schlosser was agreed on as the man to turn the tide Schlosser accepted a reasonable offer and a few days later was afforded his first opportunity to look over his material He was quick to
