It is questionable if there is a team in det

Furthermore, it was intimated that the
Federals had left themselves open to at- wjj
tack on charges of conspiracy by seeking gCj
to effect through bribery a disaffection rej:
in the ranks of organized base ball. A 8fu
point in question was the case of Roger it

MIKE MITCHELL 1
CLUB HE
May Be Forced to Acc
League, But Will
Make His 0
BY J. ED GRIELO.
Mike Mitchell has been given a
chance to pick the club he wants to
play with. Manager Griffith of the Nationals
is not going to carry the veteran
outfielder, and as the New York
club, to which Griffith presented Mitchell,
lias turned him back Griffith has
written Mike to name the club he
wants to play with and that Griffith
will make an effort to place him there.
As yet no reply has been received i
from Mitchell. It is not the intention
to sell the veteran to any minor league
club, though if he chooses to go to one
he will be allowed to make his own
arrangements, and as he will not cost
such a club any purchase money he
may be able to get himself a much
better contract than is given the average
player in the minors.
Though it is more than a week ago
that Joe Boehling was handed the
three - contract proposition to con
him since. Boehling, it is believed, is
giving the matter a lot of thought, and
he may also be waiting to And out
what the outcome of the present suit
against organized base ball will be before
tying himself up to a oontract.
In a batch of names recently sent out
by the Philadelphia club of the National
League, seeking waivers, the name of
G. C. Alexander appeared. When this
notice was received by the various club
owners of the old league there was a
rush of wires hurled to President Baker
of the Phillies, asking him what he
would take for Alexander, and refusals
to waive were sent to President Tener
from seven other clubs. Now it develops
that a mistake was made in the
initials, which should have been R. S.
Alexander. He is a brother of the great
Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of the
best pitchers in the game, and seven
TWO WRESTLING
SCHEDULED HEI
Memorial A. C. and Na
Events of That C
Athletic Gossip
a X A. I/. SlAli.
Two open wrestling tournaments
are to be held here during February.
One will take place on the 5th, under
the auspices of the Memorial Athletic
Qlub, and the other is to be held by the
National Guard Athletic Association
on the 20th. The first is scheduled for
the Memorial gymnasium and the other
Is booked for the National Guard
armory.
The following bouts will be listed
for both tournaments: One hundred and
five pounds, 115 pounds, 120 pounds, 125
pounds (special), 135 pounds, 145
pounds, 15S pounds, heavyweight class.
The events will be open to any athlete
registered in the Amateur Athletic
Union or the District Federation. The
winning team will be presented a I
handsome cup, while the victors in
each bout will be presented with i
medals.
Entries for the Memorial meet will !
close January 31, but the National;
Guard tourney will hold open its lists!
until two weeks after that. On account
of the number of entries expected
by the Memorial club it will !
hold a set of preliminary bouts Feb- |
ruary 2.
The V. M. O. A. is scheduled to meet J
the Central V. M. C. A of Baltimore in }
two branches of sport Saturday. In the j
afternoon at 3 :30 o'clock the hand ball j
teams of the two institutions will line up \

and doubles, while at 8 :30 o'clock the j
basket ball quints will test each other's
strength.
The basket ball game will be the first
the "V" five has played on its home floor
this season. The contest is certain to be
aggressive and well played, as the Baltimoreans
will strive to redeem themselves i
for the defeat suffered some time ago on !
their own floor at the hands of the Wash- j
ington live, and the local men will cer- j
tainly put forth their greatest efforts to J
turn their first exhibition on their home '
floor into a victory. The Baltimore Y. .\J.
C A. is represented by a mighty strong
combination, while that which wears the !
colors of the local "Y" is very formidable. ;
Two basket ball games of more than j
ordinary interest are to be played here j
tonight. The Virginia Polytechnic In- !
stitute is to meet the Georgetown quint j
in a game that will have a direct bear- j
ing on the south Atlantic champion- i
ship, and Catholic University is to go I
against George Washington in a con- j
test sure to be hard fought, and which j
also will figure prominently in deter- I
mining a south Atlantic title holder.
Georgetown ought to win from V. P.
I., though the Blarksburg collegians i
may have the advantage of weight and
possibly speed. The improved form
shown by Georgetown against West |
Virginia Wesleyan would indicate that j
it should be the victor, especially since
it also has the advantage of having |
played several contests, while this will .
be the first for V. P. T. The Virginians
may prove a whole lot stronger,
though, than is anticipated, in which
event they will probably get the big
end of the score.
Catholic Universitv must win from
George Washington tonight In order to
keep hard in the running for first honors
in the south Atlantic section. The
Brooklanders right now seem to be as
strong, if not stronger, than any other
quint, and if they can defeat the Hatchetites
decisively will have made another
step into their march toward the
title honors. Catholic University has a
much better aggregation of basket ball
r?invers than Geortre Washington, and
if its men play as well as they have in {
some of their previous contests :;h'ould j
not meet defeat. George Washington j
is strong collectively and will put up
an aggressive game.

It is hard to believe that 1'rinceton
would give over the coaching of the
foot ball team next fall to a man who
has never played the game, yet that is
Just what has been done. .
On the face of It, that seems to be
rather preposterous and a poor way to
get victories from Harvard and Yale,
but when the coaching record of the
man chosen is looked into things may be
considered in a different light. While
he did not play college foot ball, John
G. Rush has made a record at the University
School of Cleveland as a coach
that has seldom been seen in any of
the preparatory institutions. For fourteen
years he has taught foot ball successfully
and has, besides developing
winning teams, sent away from that
school some of the greatest stars the
gridiron game has produced In the
last few years.
The case of Rush may be a parallel
to that of Zuppke, who never yet
played, yet made a brilliant record as
I coach of the Oak Park High School of
orial A. (

club presidents dropped out of the
negotiations in disgust.
That Connie Mack in selling Eddie
Collins rid his team of the strongest
individual member of his aggregation
is generally admitted by base ball
men, but there seems to be a general
opinion that in taking Lajoie, Collins*
loss will not be felt to any damaging
extent. Joe Kelley, the Yankees' newscout.
and a man of much base ball
experience, has the following to say
anent the change made in the Athletics*
team:
"He sold the man who was admittedly
the strongest individual member of his
team. He sold an integral part of a
machine. Most base ball people seem
to think that by so doing Connie has
disposed of his chances for the pennant
next season. But I doubt if Connie has
any such thought. I am inclined to the
belief that he had mapped out a definite
scheme of action, which included the
acquisition of Lajoie and the shifting
of Mclnnis to second, and I am further
inclined to the belief that Connie by no
means feels that he has hopelessly
weakened himself.
"If Mack puts that one over he is a
marvel. I am not speculating on the
possibility of Lajoie doing an amazing
come-back: I'm talking about the plan
as a whole. It would be just as marvelous
if Connie put it over with some
other player besides Lajoie. Connie probably
looked the field over carefully
before he picked Nap, and maybe in
looking he always had in mind the plan
to put Mclnnis at second. Therefore,
he was casting about for a first baseman
and not a second baseman, and
he was probably always figuring hitting
strength as his chief need.
"I would not be at all surprised to see
Lajoie show all his old-time slugging
ability next year. A man may slow up
in every department, but the batting
eye is the last thing to leave him, and
this is especially true of a natural

Chicago. After that Zuppke was obtained
to coach the University of Illinois,
and last season he won the conference
championship and turned out
one of the greatest teams the west has
had in years. Zuppke never played the
game, and yet he is one of the most
successful university coaches in the
country. The same may develop in the
case of Rush, and it may turn out
that he will give to Princeton one of
the best elevens In its history.
It seems queer for a big university
to place in charge of its eleven a man
who has never played college foot ball,
but when the case of Zuppke is remembered
the action seems to be one
backed by common sense and an intention
to throw away caste in the attempt
to give the squad the best in - !

TED MEREDITH BARRED.
Cannot Run for Pennsylvania Again
Until After June 1.
NI'W YORK, January 20.?Thorough
perusal of the Amateur Athletic Union
rules by Secretary-Treasurer Frederick
W. Kubien and Bartow S. Weeks, chairman
of the legislation committee, has
failed to uncover any clause which would
give Ted Meredith, the University of
Pennsylvania runner, the right to compete
for his college until after Jiyie
I of this year because he has represented
the Meadowbrook A. C. of Philadelphia
in sanctioned sport since October 1
of last year. No official opinion lias been
rendered as yet by Judge Weeks, because
a letter was received yesterday
front George Orton, coach of the Philadelphia
athletes, in which he cites an '
opinion given by Gustavus T. Kirby, when i
the Columbia man was president of the j
A. A. U. in 1911. which would permit
Meredith to compete for Pennsylvania at

to college athletes. Judge Weeks expects j
to give his opinion today.
('resident Alfred J. Rill recently decided
that Meredith was ineligible to run
for his college in a special event to be
staged at the Boston A. A. games February
6. It was then found that there
were conflicting rules in the Amateur
Fnion Handbook on this.point, and George
Orton entered a protest with Secretary
Ruhien. With Judge Weeks, Mr. Rubien
has delved into every regulation which
might have a bearing on this case, and
as he stated yesterday, he found no rule
which could be used in reversing President
Hill's verdict.
The Boston A. A. has become unusually
excited over this matter, and several
letters have been written here re<tuestii;g
another ruling.
CLAIMS BOWLING RECORD.
i
Detroit Team Makes 1.243 Pins in a
Single Frame.
DETROIT, Mich., January 20.?The
Detroit Journal bowling team today
claimed a world's bowling record for
a single frame, having made a total
of 1,240 pins in a five-man team match
on local alleys last niglit. The previous
record is said to have been 1,213.
Inasmuch as the score was made in
competition accompanied by official
scorers, it is claimed the Journal record
should stand. The high individual
score was 279, made by Capt. John
Higglns.
Nationals Defeat Emmanuel.
The Nationals got the long end of
the score by 22 to 19 from the Emmanuel
team in a basket ball game

ball game of its season last night by

The I'alace team seems to be bettering
its lead in the National Capital
Bowling League with every set it rolls.
It is winning pretty nearly every match
in which it figures, and last night was
no exception, when it took ail three
contests from the Potomaes.
Palace got a set of 1,629 in defeating
the Potomaes, next to the best of the
evening. Its games were 559, 544 and
527. Earl Lewis and "Pop" Halley
proved the best of the winning Ave, the
former with marks of lis, 108 and 128,
and the latter with 100, 106 and 124.
Lewis' three games gave him the highest
set of the match ?354.
Nationals Get Good Scores.
The Nationals of the Arcade circuit
registered the highest team game, and
team set. They knocked down 545 pins
in their first contest, got 549 in their
second and then followed those two up
with the biggest count of all?586. The
total of the scores gotten by the Nationals
v\4is 1,680.
Brandt, Gheen, Boss and Hawkswortli
all rolled well for the Nationals. Brandt
347 thp hest. while the
other three secured totals of 33S, 342
and 343, respectively. Boss knocked
down the most pins in one game?132.
Brandt's scores were 119, 106 and 122.
Ellett Gets High Set.
Jim Ellett's good bowling was mainly
responsible for the clean sweep gotten
by Fifth over Gorsuch in the Interdenominational.
Incidentally, there was
only one other set registered that was
real close to that of Ellett. Ellett
proved a real anchor man for Fifth,
with scores of 140, 106 and 120. His
total was 366.
James of the Neslines in the Southeast
organization connected for counts of
111, 133, 121, the total being one pin
less than that of Ellett?365. Duganne
of the Accounts .team in the Reclamation
circuit also did some good bowling,
being the big factor in the clean sweep
made by his-team. Duganne got games
of 124, 116 and 112, for a set of 354.

candidates for pitcher and catcher, wh
