entered a well-trained team of track athletes and grabbed off the big prize In the seventh annual In door meet helS under the auspices of the George Washington Athletic Association In Convention Hall last night From an athletic standpoint the meet was a great success, but financially It is doubtful If George Washington will make a S-cent piece. Out of the 1.500 or more students enrolled at the downtown Insti tution less than SO paid admission to see the athletic carnl-al. which was sup posed to put the Hatchetites on the map, and keep them there. The relay race for two miles between Washington and Lee and George Washington was won by the local collegians. This event, according to a previous understanding, was for the championship of the South, aa the Hatchetites challenged every college south of the Mason and Dixon "line for such an event, and Washington and Lee was tho only college willing to take a chance.

The meet brought together the fastest and best known athletes of the East. The games were replete with hair-raising relays and open events that kept the crowd keyed to the highest tension. Although George Washington scored but seven points six In the South Atlantic events and one in the collegiate the host did as well as could be expected, and crowned the carnival when Its two-mile relay team sn-over the Washington and Lee four for the championship of the South. The one-mile relay race between Cor nell and Virginia furnished the banner attraction of the evening. The Ithacans were declared the winners after one of the most grueling races ever witnessed In Washington.

The event was so close that many questioned the decision in favor of Cornell, but It co'ild be seen at the finish that C. F. Souder. running as anchor man for the big Red team, had a scant foot on Goodman, who was running In the same position for the Dixie" collegians. Goodman took a lunge near the finish that did not bring him to the mark, while the Cornell man kept his stride and won the verdict Washington and Lee won the meet with twenty-four points In the collegiate events.

Tho Lexington boys also grabbed five points in the South Atlantic cham pionship events. Georgetown took the lead In the South Atlantic events (with a mark of 11 points. Capt. Eddie-Stebbins, of the Hilltoppers, was the class of the field In tho 0-yard dash, and little Johnny Campbell captured the two-mile event with ease, lapping the last man.

Charlev Brlcklev. Harvard's phenomenal drop kicker. will not go to New York to establish a school to develop punters and drop kickers. He will remain here and possibly start such a school in this city. He has received several flattering of fers to coach colleges next autumn lor the football season, however, and may accept pne of these.

CORTEZMAY FACE QUAKERCITY BOY Largest Crowd in History of Game Will Turn Out to See Fast Light-weight. LANGD0N PACKS WALLOP Philadelphia Scrapper Has the Old Punch and Ik Rated Among the Top-notchers. If Andy Cortez comes here to battle Tommy Langdon in a fifteen-round bout at Ardmore, the biggest crowd ever witnessing a boxing show In this section Is expected to be on hand. Al McMur-ray, manager of Cortez, has been tendered a handsome offer by the club management, and if he can find it possible to send his light-weight boxer to this city for Washington's Birthday, It will be worth a lot of money to him. Cortez made himself solid in the hearts of the fans here the night he gave Tommy Lowe such a terrible struggle at the old Ardmore Club.

The little Hoboken battler, tough and strong as a bull, was on top of the Washington veteran from first to last. When the referee awarded Lowe the bout, a howl arose from those who had followed the bout closely. They though Cortez entitled to at least a draw. If not the victory. He has never been seen here since, though many demands bava been heard that he be brought back.

Is Busy Fighter. The New Yorker Is now one of the busiest light-weights In his own home town. He Is matched the week before Washington's Birthday and again In Philadelphia on Friday night- of' the same week. If he believes he can make a good showing against Langdon on Monday after going' ten rounds with a hard opponent In New York three or four nights he knows he will be in good shape to make a real battle. Word from Manager McMurray Is expected to be received by the Ardmore management In a day or so.

Meanwhile. Langdon" Is In training for Washington's Birthday. He Is in business in Philadelphia and always In fair shape. He has been boxing those six-round bouts in his native town, however, and must get more wind and endurance to be able to make a battle over the fifteen-round route, as Is shown at Ard more. Langdon Can Fight.

"I'm going to show Washington. a boy who can fight from first to last." I saya Elmer, Wilson, Langdofls manager. "He never boxed but ril wager' that when he gets through; tho fans 'will all want him back again. He Is strong, fast and can hit. What more do, you want? He's, no green kid.

but an experienced boy, able to go the distance at top speed and always deliver the goods." "Langdon'a ring record shows at least two bright spots, bis battles with Jem Driscoll. the English light-weight champion, and Knockout Browrt; at that time rapidly rising to the top of his, class.

SHRIEKED FOR HELP Big Circuit Moguls. Were Having Troubles of Their Own Clubs on Market New York. Feb. li-JImmy Gilmotf. proxy for the Federal League, seems to have unconsciously forced the leaders of the American'and National leagues to go-to the assistance of the floundering -International League.

The International -was dealt an awful wallop In 1911 by the Feds who invaded Buffalo and Baltimore- territory. Thosv two towns formerly were International strongholds. The Feds grabbed off practically all the Baltimore patronage and prr bulk of It In Buffalo. The terrific losses sustained by several of the International League clubs in UH and the gloomy outlook for 1915 caused the international League magnates to shriek for help from the big fellows who had agreed to help them whenever help was needed. But the Internationals shrieked for a long time In vain.

American and National LeaSue folks were having troubles of their own. They didn't care about having anybody else's troubles, much less getting mixed up In them. Flchtlnc Own Battle. They were too busy fighting their own battles to give -the little fellows a bit of help. Very soon rumors ti'egan floating around that the International League might not open in 1913.

"Twas whispered that some of the International magnates, deserted by their big league brethren, were reduced to the point of despair. They had lost In thee 1914 battle with the Feds at a time when the Feds were comparatively weak. With the Feda stronger than ever In ISIS it looked like a certain losing proposition for the Internaltonat, Some of the International League magnates as a last resort put "their clubs on the market, otTerlng them for sale at bargain prices, Bat no one came forth who wanted to buy. and that made. the International man-nates more panicky than ever.

Let It Sink. The big league magnates paid "bur scant attention to the International League plight at first That was' the International League's own business. If the International League couldn't swln It could sink. The American and National League magnates hart no oars to lend. They needed, all they had.

Oh. yes. now that you mention tt the big magnates under the provisions of the national agreement, were bound to help the little fellows In times of trouble, but that agreement was made In times of peace. Its easy to make such an agreement at such a time. But keeping that agreement In time of war oh.

that's something else. Just when the International Leaguers were enshrouded In deepest gloom, Jimmy Qilmore burst Into the public prints1 with a few words that acted like magic for the Internationals. Jimmy said he was figuring on forming a minor league in the East. Presto! The aid that the International had begged for so long and so vainly from the American and National leagues was forthcoming. timore Cones East.

GUmore's announcement, and his trip East In keeping with the announced plans, awakened the National and American leagues to the new pern. If tbey didn't give Immediate help to the International League It might go out of business leave a. rich, unfortified field In which Ctlmore could plant a high-class minor league. The big leagues in organized baseball realized that It the International League quit business it would leave six big; cities without baseball representation: Newark, N. Jersey City.

N. Providence, R. Montreal. Quebec Toronto, Ontario, and Rochester. N.

Y. And It would give the Feds a chance to Jump Into thoe cities with a club and establish a big minor league. So the big league folks are said to have gotten together, found out what sort" 'of assistance the Internationals wanted and agreed to give It, thus saving the International League from possible dissolution and Incidentally closing to the Feds six big cities where they might "have operated- a minor league without opposition.
