I have had many thrills in sport, but most of them have, of course, come through base ball, as I have been connected with that particular sport for the last] league manager I have ha whare of downs and ex citement, but my| biggest thrilll came during game with the ew York Giants, This game was plaved in Philadel- phia September §, 1924. Mitchell was ART FLETCHER. our pitcher that day, and up the ninth Inning had delivered wonderful style. In fact, the Giants had collected only four scattered hits off his delivery. It looked like an easy victory for us with Mitchell in this form. But with ‘one man out in the ninth nto trouble. Almost ns quick @ flash the Giants had two runs over the plate with men on first and second bases. So I quickly substituted Oeschger for Mitchell in the box. Oeschger gave us a thrill when he couldn’t lo- cate the plate and walked the next two men, forcing in one run and leav- ing the bases full. _The score was now 5 to 4 in our favor. I removed Oeschger at this stage and put in Couch. With the infield playing in, the next batter hit the ball to Couch and It looked 1fke a double killing. via home to first, and a game for the Phils. But Couch was umable to hold the ball and it bounded over to Ford, who was playing in for a play at e plate. Ford fielded the ball to Holke at first for the second out, but the score was mow tled. The hext batter was retired without further scoring. Jonnard, who was now pitching for the Giants, looked like a real stum- bling block to us when he retired the eidée in order, striking out two of the hitters.

It sure looked Vike curtains for us The Giants thought so much of Kelly's hit that they on the field and carried their hero to | the bench. In our half of the tenth is where the big thrill came and I never forget it. The fans thought the game was lost in view of the showing Jon- nard had made the previous inning. With one man gone, Wrightstone singled. Ford, the next batter, sin- gled. Then Henline hit the ball down the left-field line, scoring Wright- stone and putting Ford on third. Henline should have gone to second on his hit, but he fell down roun firdt baxe and was forced to t base. Thisx looked a bad break, for Holke followed with | a single, scoring Ford with the tying run. Had Henline gone to second on bix hit the game would have been over.

However, it is the people who are proficient referees and umpires, wom- en who have spent their money ma- joring in physical education at uni- versity or normal school, who, com- bined with other sources, make their living officiating at games. Unless through staging some benefits and thereby raising a fund for this pur- pose, several local sports advocates suggest that it would be better for the various teams to come to an agreement whereby each other's coaches might be used as officlals than have inefficient referees and um- . |pires. In every contest the character of the persons officiating largely deter- mines the character of play. Yet it might be done. Thers are & few Wom- en in the city who know games and whose financial condition is net de pendent on such activities who prob- ably would be glad to render service. The situation is one that~wlll be watched with interest. Through the administrative efforts of Dorothy Greene and Leuise Sulli- van this league will launch its basket ball season this week. The opening game is set for Tuesday evening at § o'clock in the Epiphany gymnasium. Teams’ entry date into the Girls’ Recreation League will be opea until the final pre-season meeting, held to- morrow at 5 o'clock at1311G street. Enlisted teams are: Alpha A. C., Good Shepherd Church, Department of In- terlor, Sjoux A. C., Woodlothians, Aca- ¢la A. C, Calvary M. E. and Mount Vernon Churches. At this meeting from the following nomfnees officers will be eélected for the 1925 season: - Candidates for president are Louise Sullivan and Mary Brumbaugh; for vice president, Dorothy Greene; for secretary, Mar- garet Moore and Annie Meyer; for treasurer, Jene Greenwood and Frieda Ehrle. Although the crack shots of George Washington University have not as yet had any practice this season, due to their unfinished rang= at Corcoran Hall, thelr manager has arranged a very attractive schedule. The team will go to Philadelphia February 21 to shoot against Drexel Institute. A triangular match is slated for March 28, when Drexel Institute and Uni- versity of Maryland will shoot here. Telegraphic matohes have been ar- ranged with the South African team for February 21 and the ladies' rifle team of Brisbane, Australla, date pending. Though the davs have not been set, the schedule also includes Delaware, Michigan, Tilinofs, Cornell, West Vir- ginta, Yermont, Cincinnati and Mich- gan Agriculture College. Sophle Waldman, manager, announces that the team also expeots to compete in the National Rifie Assoclation wom- en's intercollegiate champlonship match, in standing and prone posi- [tions, held February 28 to March 21. With such members of last year's team back as Elenora Barroll, Mae Huntzberger, Edna Kilpatrick, Kath- arine Shoemaker, Ermyntrude Valden, Salile Burklin and two sharp-shoot- ers from Central, Blizabeth Owen and Adelalde Cotter,” all under the cap- tainghip of Katharine Ddmonston, the manager looks forward to a bril- liant season. 4 Through their rifie teams the ' sohpol girly ‘make M-fny ~ ( only contact with eachbther's school. Central, with its last year's record of taking places in several national matches and materlal advantage, is favored over the Western, Business and Bastern squads. Central practices twice a week under ideal conditions. Western practices at the Central range once a week, an inad- equate heating plant at Eastern cur- talls its praotice on cold days, and Business, just now reorganizing after a lapse of several years, has yet to have its first practice. As the basket ball season rolls along, growth in sportsmanship and the mental and physical advancement of the girl basketers is acknowledged. The tone and spirit emanating from local competitions have undergone a decided change for the most part. Instead of the cold, caleulating ex- pression and the tense face as when fac. tion meets faction in time of feuds, ease, self-possession and lips sensitive to smiles are in evidence: the personali- ties of rival teams radiate friendliness and goodfellowship. A change of em- phasis has occurred. The most definite and concrete objective remains the same —playing to win. Take out the element of aiming for victory and the game would no longer be a contest, but a hol- low, worthless situation. The emphasis has shifted from the end to the means of winning. 3 This change of atmosphers in girl sports is nearly natioral in ecope, and much of the change is attributed by educators and speclalists to the stand taken by the women's division of the National Amateyr Athletic Federation. The women's division of the N. A. A F. belleves in the spirit of play for its own sake, and works for the promotjon of physical activity for the largest proportion of persons in any given group, in forms suitable to in- dividual needs and capacities, under leadership and environmental con tions that foster health, physical effi ciency and the development of good altizenship. It aims to stress enjoymént of the sport and the development of sports- manship, to discourage sensational publicity and to put well trained and properly qualified women in imme- diate charge Of athletic and other physical education activities. Institutional mémbers of the wom- en's division of the N. A. A. F. from the District are the Y. W. C. A. Miss Maderia’s School. Washingto: individual members are Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle and Loutsa C. Lippitt. .
