Minutes behind -scheduled time at

touring car which was driven by E.
M. Wallace, and at his side was A.
( Q. Frosperi, his mechanician. Half
dozen other, cars made up the little
procession which took for its course
the Washington - Baltimore pike.
These cars conveyed the faithful
band of rooters which has watched
the Giant outfit practice for the past
three weeks, and which accompanies
the team in hopes of cheering it on
to victory in its battle in the Mary
land citadel.
I Five games are to be rolled In
Hftgerttown tonight and five are to be
rolled In Washington at a date which
hall be announced later. In the net of
ten games, total pins are to coirnt, so
It Washington can take a substantial
lead In" tonight's conflict, it Is almost
certain the locals will ba able to hold
tt or even increase It whon Hngors
town conies here later. Rubber banded
Sins arc popular In Hagerstown, hut it
hall be left to the discretion cf Cap
tain Hodge's team as to whether or not
i the solid wooden pins will bo used.
Little Is known here of the ability of
the Hagerstown pinners, other than a
set of averages which have been sub
mitted by Captain Baker. -The Mary
landers' averages, according to Baker's
figures, are higher than the best marks
of the Giants, but the former marks
were made with rubber pins, so little
real comparison can be made from the
following figures:

The big bowling guns of Washington
sure but half cocked today, as many of
th leagues did not schedule games for
George Washington's Birthday night.
However, about a dozen of the circuits
Will hold matches tonight, and tho re
mainder of the clientele will amuse
Itself In the various tournaments which
Jxblv been inaugurated to make the holi
day a gal& one.
'
Ice Cream Day Is the big attraction
at the Palace Alleys where the duckpin
votaries are rolling hourly for gallons
of Ice cream. Beginning at 10 o'clock
and continuing until midnight, the
Chapln-Sacks Company la awurding a
gallon of Velvet Kind each hour to tho
man rolling the highest game.
While the history of bowling has been
known to reveal many queer styles In
the matter of bowling prizes, this thing
' of rolling at the pins for Iro cream Is
certainly new to Washington, and Judg
ing from the talk of the bowlers Satur
day night, they are us anxious to win
a gallon of "sweots" as If the awaid
was to be a medul or even cash.

Captain Harvey Rogers, of the Stans
bury Lodge team. In the Masonic
League, Is still insisting that his team
will come out of the season a victor,
despite the three "Jolts" which it was
handed by Lebanon on Tuesday night.
The race In this circuit is bound to de
velop Into close finish as barely two
games now separate Stansbury from
. the runners up. Rogers, however, Is
confident and he wants to be shown.
Secretary McKnew reports tho slpnln;;
of nearly a hundred more bowlers into
the ranks of the Atlantic Coast Bowllnn
Association, but there are many more
hundreds which he wants to get Into
line.
This Is a good movement, bowlers, and
those of you who wish to see your fav

become affiliated with this new organi

Connie Mack Laughs at Tale,
Saying That Slugger Has
Quit the Diamond for Good.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7Z.-" don't
think that the offer of more money
will tempt J. Franklin Baker to recon
sider bin declxion to retire from base
ball, but believe that he Is sincere in
hia stand, and Is out of the same ror
rrnm. Rertalnlv. I won't make the
strongest effort to get him back. That
htory that the St. Louis urowns nave
fi-n Anil nn iila KervlceA Is .ill wronj;.
I'ni. Rnh HeriL'e.q has never mentioned i
nis name io me.
That's what Connlo mock sain touay
In reply to the leport that Raker mtsht
stick In baseball If better llnancial
Inducements were offered.
"I base this belief," resumed the gaunt
general, "on my talks with tho third
sacker this winter and last season.
"If money had anything to do with his
discontent, I would have known about
"IJaker started the season of 19H un- )
der a new three-year contract with tho
ten days' clause contained In tho douu
. i Vin sensor wore on I decided
to change all contracts for documents in
which the ten days' stipulation was
omitted, but at the same salary as In
tho contracts lir force. 1 did this .it
the advice of attornel. in order to get
an absolutely Ironclad contract.
.
"When 1 broached the matter to the
players, several declared they would not
stand for this slight alteration, unless
they were paid extra for It. Several of
my stars held me up in this way.
"Baker was not one of them. He Mgned
the new contract at the same figure
without tho slightest protest. Now, had
he wanted more money he was In a posi
tion to kick over the traces and force
me to boost the flgureF.
"Moreover, when I received n letter
from him ten days ago containing the
simple statement that he had retired
from tho game, I replied asking him If
there was any cause under my control
that could Induce him to change his
mind.
...
"Mind you, I didn't send any appeal
to him. I said that 1 considered It his
own personal matter, and that 1 didn't
purpose to adviso him or offer any sug
gestions. I did say that If he found
fault with the salary In his contract for
him to name his price, and that I would
try to grant It
"Raker's answer came in a few days.
Ho wrote that he hadn't given the ques
tion uf money one thought, and that he
was quitting solely because ho detested
to travel, and wanted to stay in peace
and quiet on his farm at Trappo.
"This convinces me that he is sincere
and that financial motives have noth
ing to do with his retirement."

By far the best work of the season In
foul shooting was accomplished by Pey
ton March last Friday, when he caged
thirteen out of seventeen In his attempts
from the foul line. March has Improved
111 this respect, and his performance
gained within a point of half his team's
total. The value of a foul shooter may
be appreciated In looking at the Penn
Dartmouth gamo of last Saturday Q
tho Intercollegiate League. Penn won
by 20 to IS. and there were forty fouls
called during the game. Of the total
number of points scored half of them
w'ere gained on baskets, showing that
less than half tho free tosses out of
forty chances were made good.
Schoolboy runners had a tasto of

have been credited with close to fifty
seconds In the quarter. Smith w'on tho
scholastic 440 in fifty-three seconds,
with Shunk third to Rose, of St- Alban.
These lads had nveraged fifty-four sec
onds in their relay against Episcopal
earlier in the evening.
Friends closed Its basketball season
Saturday, and St, Alban will be through
on FrJday, when It meets Business at
tho T. M. C. A. Both teams have
broken nearly even on the season's
work. A win for 8t. Alban on Friday
would come near putting Business out
of the running for the title, as both
Western and Army and Navy Prep will
have to be conquered to break even In
a tl for the title.
