By "SENATOR." John Henry, expects to leave his room at Georgetown University Hospital to day. His knee is yielding rapidly to the treatment provided for It by Mique Martin, the sate and sane trainer of the Climbers, and the big catcher should be out and around town tomor row. However, he will continue to have Martin treat the Injured knee, visiting him at the T. M. C. A. each day. "I am pleased to hear of Henry's re covery," said Manager Griffith today, "but I don't intend to let any accident rob me .of him now that he has gone through the operation for that floating cartilage. 1 shall keep him around here, though, for a while. I want to be sure that he has recovered before letting him run home to Massachusetts. "If John recovers as Martin expects, he should be going home next Satur day or Sunday. He'll have a short va cation then at bis- home and return ' here for the week's preliminary train ing before we go down to Charlottes ville." Manager Griffith counts on Henry to divide the, reason's work with "Rlppy" TVUllams. Ainsmlth will catch Walter Johnson, but will hardly work with any other twirler. owing to his health. He handles the big fellow as if he were a rookie, delighting in his tremendous speed. But Eddie will rest when "Wal ter isn't down to twirL Gets Another Cuban. Two young Cubans will struggle for outfield job with the- Climbers at Char lottesville. The second one is Baldo mcro Acosta. a sixteen-year-old youth, who has been doing good work in Havana this winter and has the recom mendation or Victor Munoz, Griff's Cuban agent. Acosta will hardlj-make- a place on 'the team this spring, 'but -If he comes anywhere near predictions, he will be kept attached to a string from the Southern building in this city to some minor league outfit for at least a year. He is an outfielder of remarkable speed, some ability at the bat and needs only age and experience. Young Calvo, whose brother will try to beat out Bill Carrigan with the world's champion Red Sox, is playing tilth the Almendares, the strongest learn in Havana, and should report at Charlottesville In shape to Jump right Into the fray. As nelthcrof these young Cubans is a master of English, Griff Is thinking of teaming them up with some other member of the team In , order that they may learn. Tom Hughes will make a fine roomie for Calvo and Hay Morgan an excellent companion for Acosta. Groom Is Confident. Bobby Groom, the elongated, attenu ated toothpick twirler, wintering in St. Louis, where he Is attending classes at a medical school-In the hopes of be coming a saw-bones some day when he quits playing the national game, says that if the Mackmcn don't cop the ban ner, the Climbers will. Bob must have his ear to the ground, or have an Inside tip from somebody to have discovered this charming bit of information. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that most writers, managers, and players dope the Red Sox to fall down this season in their efforts to cop their second successive pennant. That re markable run of the champions last jcar. when they went clear through till September without bumping Into a hospital list, is not looked for this sea son, and that's the answer. If the Red Sox had bumped Into the same luck that hit the Climbers and the Mackmen In 1912. they would 'not have been in first place when the curtain tumbled. The Mackmen got away poorly, and not till the end of the campaign did Bender and Coombs round Into winning form. Danny Murphj-, a most depend able slugger, was lost to his team for hair the season, following an Injury to his knee in Chicago. Despite their win ning streak, the Climbers were hard hit when they lost Johnson's services for three weeks right when he was needed most. They, too, got away to a poor tart. and yet clung on like bulldogs to the very end. it is more than unlikely that the Red Sox will have such good luck two years running. If they fall to start well, no oungsterx will be battling for Jobs. If Wood and Bedlent fall to equal last j car's records, and one or two of the innelders slow up, It'll be good night to the chances of the champions. Y. M. C. A. Regulars Take Ragged Game m Playing ragged basketball and keep ing the score near a tie until the final few minutes of play. Y. M. C. A. Reg ulars and Epiphany teams were con testants In a game which the former won by 27 to 3. The game was by no means as one-sided as the score Indi cates. Epiphany's defensive play was by far the best that has been shown by a visiting team on the Y floor this year. Time and again the home players worked the ball well up to the basket, only to lose It through Interference on the part of the visiting guards. Gheen and Strasbaugh, In particular, loomed up far above the ordinary In this re- fpect, polling one chance after anoth- tfr by clever blocking. The home players were up to their old tricks, though, and managed to keep a comfortable lead from the start. Tho first half was closely contested, ending with the figures at 13 to 7 In favor of the Y. The teams played on even terms most of the way superior shoot-ine- giving the home quint Its margin.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. Si. Ac cording to Jack Dunn, manager of tho Baltimore 'Orioles, Jimmy Walsh and Eddie Murphy are going to be the king pin gardeners for the Ath'letlcs next summer. He hasn't a doubt about It, either, lie says. "Those two kids will be among the leading fielders of the American League In 1912." says Dunn, who once was some performer around, the inner works him self. "Why, Mack has the two best young outfielders In the country In Walsh and Murphy. These boys played under me In Baltimore, and I know what they can do. They didn't play in enough games in Philadelphia last season to show their true worth, yet they made a good show ing. "Give them a chance to start the sea son working In every game and they will show class. Ah Mack has Strunk Hnd Oldring for the post In center, he lias about as much a problem arrang ing his outfield as Ills $100,000 lnlleld." Athletic partisans hope that Dunn Is handing out prime dope, for if Walsh and Murphy come up to the mark It will make pennant success easier. Both of these youths have vlgncd those papers for 1913. Mack obtained their signatures before the club dis banded last fall. Eddie Murphy played In thirty-three games in right field last fall and soused the pill for the handsome credit of 317. besides glimmering like a glowworm on the defense. He Is a pugnacious tad who fights for his rights every Inch of the way. Lehign avenue sharps believe that he Is the beat man topping a Mack batting oraer since live aays ropsy Hartscl was good. Murphy Is a good waiter and run-getter and gets on some waj. Walsh is a different type of outfielder. He lays his beef against the ball and punches out savage belts. Playing in thirty-one games, he returned a per centage of .252; but Jimmy Is not the nasny Kind or player and must be seen In numerous box scores before his worth crops out. , Y. M. C. A. Will Honor Griff on Thursday A reception will be tendered Manager Clark C. Griffith. Mlqye Martin, and John Henry at the Y. M. C A. Thurs day afternoon under the auspices of the baseball league of the boys department. The three baseball men will shake hands with all the daring lads In the city who care to take the chance. An extended athletic program will be car ried through, and it is rumored that Griffith will tell the real Inside details of that "dccr-slaylng" trip of his to Montana last fall.

Vanderbllt, football champions of the South, will not be seen at the Hilltop next fall, negotiations for a contest having fallen through. The Blue and Gray management sought a game with the Commodores on Thanksgiving Day, but Vanderbllt meets Sewanee on that day. and will not give up this contest. Carlisle, too, has declined to come here on Turkey Day, preferring to book a game with some larger university where the profits will be greater. It looks now as If V. P. I or Bucknell will be the attraction at the Hilltop in the final game of the season. Georgetown may take a trip to Wor cester, Mass., though, for a game with Holy Cross. Manager Barrett Is now In communication with the Worcester collegians. Holy Cross Journeyed to St. Louis last fall, but will not make the trip again. It Is thought that Georgetown will be a good attraction In the North West Point Is peeking another game with the Blue and Gray. In 1910 Georgetown gained great fame by a no-score tie with the Army eleven, and It Is possible that they will meet again next fall. Carlisle will be played hero on No vember 1. a week later than lat year. North Carolina A. and M. will be nla.-ed at Raleigh.

' IT WAS SOME BOB THAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP 'EVERY KNOCK Robbing the cradle. Manager Griffith Is robbing the cradle when he signs up a sixteen-year-old lad for a trial with the Climbers. Young 'Acosta may develop Into a wonder, but isn't his age greatly against him? It cannot do a boy much good to start training at such an age. Henry's case. .Manager Griffith Is doing his share of worrying about John Henry. He knows that :r the big Amherst collegian falls to recover his form of last spring he will be up against a tough problem. Henry is quite the best backstop In this league and ins disability will force Griff to depend wholly upon Ainsmlth and Williams, with some green boy try ing to be third-string catcher. Thorpe In danger. Jim Thorpe seems to be in danger of being declared a professional and hav ing his hard-won laurels taken from nim. It is unfortunate that he 1 the target of so much recrimination. How ever, that's the penalty he must pay for lying. But when one thinks of the many other alleged amateursnot so un tutored as the Indian, who arc as bad, he has some extenuation. Papke vs. Klaus. Billy Papke and Krank Klaus are due to meet In a twenty-round bout In Tarls on March S. If Klaus Is In shape, he should win. Papke has slowed up fast in the last two jcars. while the "Pitts burgh Bear Cat" Is one of the toughest men2 in the ring. Time was when Papne might easily have won, but Klaus looks good to me.

Princeton University will in all proba bility play Georgetown a return basket ball game in this city on March 3, if the plans which are now entertained by Manager Madigan, of the Blue and Gray quint, do not go awry. The Tigers were originally scheduled to play the HUltoppers In the Arcade on February 18, but were forced to cancel because of a conflict with the dates In the Inter collegiate Basketball League, and, as it Is the custom of the New Jersey Insti tution to close their season on Wash ington's Birthday, It was thought im possible to arrange another date. This year, however, as It Is the Intention of the Orange and Black school to send 1,000 students to march In the inaugural parade In honor of President Wilson, who was formerly head of Princeton, the basketball management of the Tigers have practically agreed to send the quint to this city also. In case the game Is finally booked, Swarthmore. who Is scheduled to play the West Enders on March 3, will be met on Wednesday, March 5. as such an arrangement Is agreeable to both managements.
