SPORTS. W unclay hit. PART V. PAGES 1-4. WASHINGTON, D. C., SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, 1910. NATIONALS OFF FOR SPRING PRACTICE Work Will Begin at Norfolk To¬ morrow.Gessler Will Re¬ port Tuesday. There is nothing superstitious about Manager James MeAleer. There were exactly thirteen in the party of Wash¬ ington ball players that sailed down the Potomac last night on the steamer South¬ land for the training season at Norfolk. The g' >up comprised: James R. MeAleer, manager. Joseph Quirk, trainer. «*barles Street, catcher. William Rapp. catcher. John Hardy, catcher. "Dolly" Gray, pitcher. "Dixie" Walker, pitcher. Jerry Ohl. pitcher. Tom Crooks, flrst baseman. George Me Bride, shortstop. Jack Lelivelt, left fielder. Clyde Milan, center fielder. Wad.? Killii'er, utility man. Before the big steamer pulled out they gathered 0:1 the top deck and a picture ul the group taken. Grounakeeper "Red" o'Daa was tnere to see the boys off, and he was pulled into the picture by the players, with wliom he is a big Javorite. Although the boat was not due to leave before ."»;iO, the "fans" began gathering as early as 5 o'clock, and by the time the boys went on board a couple of hun¬ dred friends were on hand to bid them good-bye. Manager .ucAleer assigned the players thfir statr rooms and paired them off. All the players appeared glad that a new season was again drawing near and that they would soon be out ou the held of contest, v-apt. Posey of the South¬ land and General Manager Callahan ex¬ erted themselves in every way to make the boys feel at home. The team is oue in Norfolk this morn- lng, a genera' sightseeing tour will be made ami tomorrow morning everybody will buckle down to hard work. "1 am not a bit superstitious," said Manager MeAleer when he discovered that his outfit consisted of exactly thir¬ teen. "There are plenty who believe '13' is lucky, and I belong to that bunch." president Noyes went with MeAleer down to tiie steamboat wharf and re¬ mained on the boat until the warning whistle blew. He had the unique ex¬ perience of Introducing a ball player to Jils manager in presenting Milan to Me¬ Aleer. 'l he pair knew each other by sight. but did not have a personal ac- quaintance. Charley Street entertained the entire giottp for half an hour before the boat steamed away with stories of his success with the gun in the mountains around Williamsport, aud claimed to have bowled over deer in countless number. Charley lost little time in notifying Manager MeAleer that he wanted to be paired off with George McBride, as he considered him lucky. "Mac has sent three men to good clubs, and I want to get next to him when moving time comes again. Ganley was .the flrst to room with Mac and he went to the Athletics. Delehanty took his place and was traded to the champion Tigers. Charley Smith made the third and he Is now with the Boston 'speed boys.' It would Just be my luck to be landed In Williamsport, but there would be no kick coming from me. as that is my home." The sally created lots of laughter and put everybody in a good humor. Pitcher Jerry Ohl and Clyde Milan were the last to report to Manager MeAleer yesterday afternoon. The big pitcher came over from his home in New Jersey and carried himself like a vete.an. Jeir> says he has been out on his father's farm all winter and hasn't seen a city since he left here last fall. He is in prime condition and as hard as the pro¬ verbial nails. All the time Ohl worked with the Nationals last year he had a sore arm, but for some reason kept the fact to himself and did the best he could. It was thought that Jerry had been "let out" for good, but a very close friend to the club owners insisted that the big fellow "had the goods," and it was de¬ cided to give him another trial. This friend says that Jerry has great speed and good control when "right." and will yet prove to be a pitcher of the first class. Clyde Milan has been In Ohio for the past month, instead of Tennessee, as was thought by the club officials, and came on from Cincinnati last night. Milan is in good shape and has taken on only a few pounds in the winter months. Tne little fellow is as quiet as usual and had nothing to say about himself, except tnat J he hoped the club would prove a winner! this year and that he would be a big factor in making it so. If Clyde can hit the ball as in the days of 1908, there will be nothing to it but a cakewaik. A telegram reached Manager MeAleer i late yesterday afternoon from "Doc" I Gessler, saying that the illness in his! family was not so serious as was thought! and that h<> would join the learn Tues- j day. This was pleasing news to MeAleer.! as h<> wants to see the big fellow and get him buckled down to hard work as1 toon as possible. Tom Crooks, the Washington boy who is to assist Bob Unglaub in guarding first base this season, failed to get in the pio- ture with the other players, as he re¬ mained out on the landing too long. A party of friends brought Tom down to the landing in an automobile, and he found it difficult to puU himself away until the whistle blew for "all aboard." Although the weather at Hot Springs, Ark., has not been of the best, it has not put the Washington players back very much. The following dispatch was received last night from Schaefer: "BoyB getting along fine. MeAleer will let you know when we are to re¬ port." SCHAEFER. When MeAleer was asked about the Hot Springs group reporting at Norfolk, he said that he had not yet decided, but that he thought he would let them stay out there for another week at least. He continued: "Elberfeld writes me that he is getting along nicely over at the Virginia Hot Spiings and I may also let him stay there another week It all depends upon the weather at Norfolk If the sun comes out good and hot I may order the boys outside to come at once, so that we can all get acquainted and work to¬ gether." It is more than likely that George Stone has played his last game with the /St. Louie Browns. According to the Mound city pap^r*, Stone's salary has t*en sliced off $1,50U, and the hard hit¬ ting outfielder has refused to sign his c< ntract. George started out last season at a great clip, hitting away over the coveted .:>*> mark, but was injured and knocked off his stride. As a result he had a bad season, and it is generally understood that President Hedges tried to trade him at the last meeting of the American League in Chicago. Karl Nieminin Captures Marathon. NEW YORK, March 5..Karl Nieminin, » Swede, finished flrst by three laps this a't«>rnoon in the outdoor marathon race held at Washington league Park, In Brookl>n.

Devour Navy Wrestlers in Four Out of Seven Bouts. Special Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS. Md.. March 5..The Tiger wrestlers lowered the middles' colors on the mats at the academy this afternoon, capturing four of the seven bouts. They were the first opponents to dip the sailors' flag, as in the four previous meets the navy had come off victor. The Prlncetonlans started in with a rush and landed the Initial bout.the heavyweight event.which was captured by Garrett, whose opponent was the husky Richardson. Richardson was the star fullback of the middy eleven last season, and Is one of the huskiest and the second strongest man in the brigade. He de¬ pended too much on strength, and was lacking In tne finer points of the game. He has done but little wrestling and knows little of the rules of handling his man. The Princeton man was not es heavy as Richardson, but showed a fine knowl¬ edge of the game, and although the mid¬ dy broke away from several difficult po¬ sitions, he finally succumbed to a body hold after eight minutes and ten seconds of very grueling work. Both men show¬ ed the effects of the strain plainly. Although Princeton won the star bout, the middies managed to win out in the other heavy events. In the light-heavy, or 17i-pound class, Wee ma, the star of the navy team, got the shoulders of Wells of Princeton down after six minutes of hard work, while Sowell (navy) and A. H. Ormond made a lively bout in the i;*S-pound class. Sowell finally got his opponent on a half-Nelson and body hold and pinned his shoulders down in five minutes and thirty-three seconds. The 14.Vpound bout was a rapid-fire en¬ gagement, Wilson (Princeton) getting Schofield (navy) down in the fast time of one minute and twenty-five seconds. The fall was secured by a half-Nelson.

Am was Intimated in The Star a day or so ago, there was no high-jump event for th« South Atlantic States champion¬ ship title in last night's meet. This event was omitted by^lanager McNulty because of the fact that but one entry was reoeived. As the rule regarding the number of entrants in a championship eveat has been construed to make at least three entries necessary for an event of this nature, there was nothing else for him to do but to take the action described above. It seems as if, with jumpers of such well known ability as Walcott, Curtis, L<arry Martin. Holliday, Randolph, Boet- tenger, Ward, Connelly. Timanus, Low and Lester, interest in athletics is not as it should be in the South Atlantic Associa¬ tion, unless, as has been suggested before, the absence of the event on the entry blank and the lack of advertisement given it was responsible for its being overlooked. The president of the South Atlantic As¬ sociation, Dr. D. E. Wiber, who has charge of the Washington assignments of the championship events, when seen by a iftar representative last night, stated that he was undecided just what action he would take toward giving the athletes another chance at this event, but that he would Iool; into the matter carefully and make his decision in a few days. It is understood, however, that .either the John Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games, which will be held in Baltimore next Sat¬ urday night, or the National Guard Ath¬ letic Association meet, which will be pulled off on the evenings of March UQ and 31, will probably get the event. As the entries have already closed for the Johns Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games, and as Baltimore has already been as¬ signed more than its share of these events, the chances favor the guards-men.

Pa., March 5..President Taft is to have a real ball game for himself if plans set on foot today by President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg world's champions do not miscarry. An¬ other shift in the schedule will be nec¬ essary. It is now up to the Chicago club owners to accede to the proposition of Pittsburg to make a Taft day here May On this day President Taft comes to Pittsburg to attend the Founder's day exercises at Carnegie In¬ stitute and the Americus Club banquet in the evening. It has been figured that President Taft will finish at the Carnegie Institute in time to step over to Forbes Field before the first ball is pitched.

Laura Gilmore on a charge of libel brought by President Brown < of the race track association. Attorneys for Mrs. Gilmore charge the race track law in Florida Ik unconstitutional and that bookmaking is illegal. A heated contest is expected. Maccabees to Play Ball. The Macc-abeeB of The District of t. o- lumbia have organized a base ball league for the coming season which will consist of some of the best material in the city. The league was organized by C. B. Stokes, president of the Sunday School League, and wide interest is being dis¬ played throughout,the Maccabee tents of the city. A meeting will be held thi« week, when the playing grounds and other subjects will be decided upon. #."¦ I DON'T WANT TO CLAIM ANYTHING, BUT I AM CONFIDENT MY TEAM WILL WIN MANY GAMES AND GETOUT OF LAST PLACE, SAYS MR. McALEER COOL as the proverbial cucumber was Manager James R. McAleer during the bustle and excitement of getting the team off for Norfolk. When asked about the out¬ look for the coming season Mac replied that he was never strong for the predicting stuff, but that he thought the Wash¬ ington team was better than many of the wiseacres believed. His first aim will be to get out of last place, and then to climb up the ladder, if possible. "Base ball is chuck full of luck, and if we get a fair share of the horseshoe variety I will promise the Washington fans some very good games of base ball. I am confident the play¬ ers will do their best for me, and if this best is not satisfactory we will have to go gunning for others. Good ball will not do for me.I want winning ball." McAleer does not like to be interviewed, and would sooner talk to a newspaper man in confidence and let the latter use his judgment as to what makes good reading. During the conversation Sir James intimated that he was not worrying over the outlook, as he had been too long in the NOT WORRYING. JAMES R. McALEER. business for that, but that he would feel more comfortable if he was sure of his outfield hitting around the .300 mark. He is confident his infield will come out strong, likewise his pitch¬ ers and catchers, but if the outfield trio were of the slugging variety McAleer would doubtless sleep better at nights. "I know that Walter Johnson, Gray, Groom and Reisling will show better this season than ever before," said McAleer, "and I also believe in the ability of Walker. Say these men should come up to expectations, wouldn't the staff be a corker? "The infield is mostly made up of veterans, but thpse are the boys you want around the base lines and home plate when the ticklish plays come up. Youngsters may be pulling them out of the skies with one hand, but with three on bases a slashing drive, to the ground generally demonstrates a man's worth or his worthlessness. The "fans' will quickly forgive an error on a hard play, but will stir up the dust on a foozle of an easy chance, and I am with them on that point. "Good-bye, old pal. Be around when we get back and then judge for yourself whether I am any good as a prophet." VIM ONCE MORE HUMBLES GEORGETOWN Visitors Romp Away With Fea¬ ture Relay Race of Big Meet. The I. nlverslty of Virginia relay team walked away from the Georgetown Uni¬ versity team ln the two-mile race, the final event of the program of the twelfth annual indoor meet of the Georgetown University Athletic Association. last nlgbt at Convention Hall. This event was for the champion¬ ship of the south, and as much bet¬ ting had been made on the result t>y the students of the two universities, the spectators displayed considerable In¬ terest. Gooch for Virginia and Gross for Georgetown lined up for the first relay. The former finished with a lead of twenty f«*et. Douglass added five feet more, and then KUshear increased the lead to thirty-five yards. Stanton ran last for the Virginia ream and won by three- quarters of a lap. Yale Also Wins Easily.

Robertson of the Washington Grove Athletic Club was second and J. Sterrett of Princeton University, but who entered unattached, -was third. The meet was one of the most success¬ ful that has been pulled off in this city in years and was the best ln the history of Georgetown athletics. The officials wers all well trained to their duties and kept the contestants on the jump from tha start of the opening event until the close. Ward Bean of Philadelphia, one of the best announcers of athletic events ln this country, handled the megaphone and an¬ nounced the results to the large crowd in such good style that the spectators were kept posted on the results of the various events. The first event was ths fifty-yard novice for contestants whd had never won a prise ln any athletic event. Twenty-five runners were entered in the four heats. The final event was won by Watson of the Y. M. C. A., who finished several inches in front of Beary of the George¬ town University. T. Todd of the University of Virginia proved his superiority over nearly half a hundred contestants in the fifty-yard open handicap when he took first place from Kilpatric of Yale University. Sprawls of Georgetown was a close third. The first classical event was the inter¬ collegiate fifty-yard dash, which went to Hough of the University of Pennsylvania by a scant four inches. Bacon of the Wesleyan University got second prize and Minds of the University of Pennsyl¬ vania finished in third place. G. Dewey of the Central High School of this city took the intarscholastic fifty- yard dash in a fine spurt. Q. Timanus of the Baltimore City College was second and Reuter of Central was third. The first relay on the program was won by the Tremont Athletic Club second team ln the last lap. The American Security and Trust Company team finished second. The Western High School junior relay team proved too fast for the other teams In their relay race and beat the Washing¬ ton School for Boys' team by a good mar¬ gin, the Washington boys having a good lead over the Friends School team. Thrall's Spurt Won. After the first three men of the three teams in the one-mile relay race for ath¬ letic clubs had finished together Thrall of the Mercury Athletic Club spurted and won the event. The Riverdale Athletic Club team got second place. Forty-two contestants lined up about the tape in the *WO-yard novice. The get- off in a bunch lost on the first lap. M.

the last to report to Manager MeAleeryesterday afternoon. The big pitchercame over from his home in New Jerseyand carried himself like a vete.an. Jeir>says he has been out on his father'sfarm all winter and hasn't seen a citysince he left here last fall. He is inprime condition and as hard as the pro¬verbial nails. All the time Ohl workedwith the Nationals last year he had asore arm, but for some reason kept thefact to himself and did the best he could.It was thought that Jerry had been "letout" for good, but a very close friendto the club owners insisted that the bigfellow "had the goods," and it was de¬cided to give him another trial. Thisfriend says that Jerry has great speedand good control when "right." and willyet prove to be a pitcher of the firstclass.Clyde Milan has been In Ohio for the

past month, instead of Tennessee, as wasthought by the club officials, and cameon from Cincinnati last night. Milan isin good shape and has taken on only afew pounds in the winter months. Tnelittle fellow is as quiet as usual and hadnothing to say about himself, except tnat Jhe hoped the club would prove a winner!this year and that he would be a bigfactor in making it so. If Clyde can hitthe ball as in the days of 1908, there willbe nothing to it but a cakewaik.

A telegram reached Manager MeAleer ilate yesterday afternoon from "Doc" IGessler, saying that the illness in his!family was not so serious as was thought!and that h<> would join the learn Tues- jday. This was pleasing news to MeAleer.!as h<> wants to see the big fellow andget him buckled down to hard work as1toon as possible.Tom Crooks, the Washington boy who

is to assist Bob Unglaub in guarding firstbase this season, failed to get in the pio-ture with the other players, as he re¬mained out on the landing too long. Aparty of friends brought Tom down to thelanding in an automobile, and he found itdifficult to puU himself away until thewhistle blew for "all aboard."

Although the weather at Hot Springs,Ark., has not been of the best, it hasnot put the Washington players backvery much. The following dispatch wasreceived last night from Schaefer:"BoyB getting along fine. MeAleer

will let you know when we are to re¬port." SCHAEFER.When MeAleer was asked about the

Hot Springs group reporting at Norfolk,he said that he had not yet decided,but that he thought he would let themstay out there for another week atleast. He continued:"Elberfeld writes me that he is getting

along nicely over at the Virginia HotSpiings and I may also let him stay thereanother week It all depends upon theweather at Norfolk If the sun comesout good and hot I may order the boysoutside to come at once, so that wecan all get acquainted and work to¬gether."

It is more than likely that GeorgeStone has played his last game with the/St. Louie Browns. According to theMound city pap^r*, Stone's salary hast*en sliced off $1,50U, and the hard hit¬ting outfielder has refused to sign hisc< ntract. George started out last seasonat a great clip, hitting away over thecoveted .:>*> mark, but was injured andknocked off his stride. As a result hehad a bad season, and it is generallyunderstood that President Hedges triedto trade him at the last meeting of theAmerican League in Chicago.

as Richardson, but showed a fine knowl¬edge of the game, and although the mid¬dy broke away from several difficult po¬sitions, he finally succumbed to a bodyhold after eight minutes and ten secondsof very grueling work. Both men show¬ed the effects of the strain plainly.Although Princeton won the star bout,

the middies managed to win out in theother heavy events.

WHAT'S THE MATTERWITH HIGH JUMPERS?

Am was Intimated in The Star a day orso ago, there was no high-jump eventfor th« South Atlantic States champion¬ship title in last night's meet. Thisevent was omitted by^lanager McNultybecause of the fact that but one entrywas reoeived. As the rule regarding thenumber of entrants in a championshipeveat has been construed to make atleast three entries necessary for an eventof this nature, there was nothing else forhim to do but to take the action describedabove.It seems as if, with jumpers of such

well known ability as Walcott, Curtis,L<arry Martin. Holliday, Randolph, Boet-tenger, Ward, Connelly. Timanus, Lowand Lester, interest in athletics is not as

it should be in the South Atlantic Associa¬tion, unless, as has been suggested before,the absence of the event on the entryblank and the lack of advertisementgiven it was responsible for its beingoverlooked.The president of the South Atlantic As¬

sociation, Dr. D. E. Wiber, who hascharge of the Washington assignments ofthe championship events, when seen by aiftar representative last night, statedthat he was undecided just what actionhe would take toward giving the athletesanother chance at this event, but thathe would Iool; into the matter carefullyand make his decision in a few days. Itis understood, however, that .either theJohn Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games,which will be held in Baltimore next Sat¬urday night, or the National Guard Ath¬letic Association meet, which will bepulled off on the evenings of March UQand 31, will probably get the event. Asthe entries have already closed for theJohns Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games,and as Baltimore has already been as¬signed more than its share of theseevents, the chances favor the guards-men.

I DON'T WANT TO CLAIM ANYTHING, BUT I AM CONFIDENT MY TEAMWILL WIN MANY GAMES AND GET OUT OF LAST PLACE, SAYS MR.McALEERCOOL as the proverbial cucumber was Manager James R.

McAleer during the bustle and excitement of gettingthe team off for Norfolk. When asked about the out¬

look for the coming season Mac replied that he was never

strong for the predicting stuff, but that he thought the Wash¬ington team was better than many of the wiseacres believed.His first aim will be to get out of last place, and then to climb

up the ladder, if possible."Base ball is chuck full of luck, and if we get a fair share

of the horseshoe variety I will promise the Washington fanssome very good games of base ball. I am confident the play¬ers will do their best for me, and if this best is not satisfactorywe will have to go gunning for others. Good ball will not dofor me.I want winning ball."

McAleer does not like to be interviewed, and would sooner

talk to a newspaper man in confidence and let the latter use his

judgment as to what makes good reading.During the conversation Sir James intimated that he was

not worrying over the outlook, as he had been too long in the

NOT WORRYING.

JAMES R. McALEER.

business for that, but that he would feel more comfortable ifhe was sure of his outfield hitting around the .300 mark. Heis confident his infield will come out strong, likewise his pitch¬ers and catchers, but if the outfield trio were of the sluggingvariety McAleer would doubtless sleep better at nights.

"I know that Walter Johnson, Gray, Groom and Reislingwill show better this season than ever before," said McAleer,"and I also believe in the ability of Walker. Say these men

should come up to expectations, wouldn't the staff be a corker?"The infield is mostly made up of veterans, but thpse are

the boys you want around the base lines and home plate whenthe ticklish plays come up. Youngsters may be pulling themout of the skies with one hand, but with three on bases a

slashing drive, to the ground generally demonstrates a man'sworth or his worthlessness. The "fans' will quickly forgive an

error on a hard play, but will stir up the dust on a foozle ofan easy chance, and I am with them on that point.

"Good-bye, old pal. Be around when we get back andthen judge for yourself whether I am any good as a prophet."
