NNAPOLIS, Md., February 22.—Starting with a handicap of two matches forfeited to the Naval Academy, Georgetown boxers won three of the five bouts actually contested, but lost to the Navy by 4 to 3, so that the record of 11 years’ success in dual matches achieved by the Midshipmen, still stands. Admittedly, however, it was.a close squeak for the Navy, and in the three bouts won by the visitors, some of the best college box- | ing which ever took place was exhibited. The bouts in the 115 and 135-pound classes were conceded to the Navy and in the 125-pound class, the first fought, Tardugno, of the visitors, won in a rattling three-round bout from Fitzgerald, the intercollegiate champion at the weight. Next, Capt. Fish of the visitors, champion at 146-pounds, shaded Hall. After three rounds of brilliant boxing, and Bordeau, South Atlantic champion at 175 pounds, took four rounds to get a scant verdict over Swan of the Navy. The feature bout of the evening was between Bordeau, who is South Atlantic, champion at the weight, and Swan of Navy. Both were powerful fellows, with the Georgetown boxer having the edge in this particular and also having the | failed to make any impression on the | tall midshipman.

EORGE WASHINGTON and Catholic University basket ball quints divided a double-header at Brookland last night, the Colonial varsity dribblers squeezing through to a 23-to-21 victory, while the Cardinal youngsters conquered the downtown Freshman five, 44 to 31. Catholic waged & valiant, but losing uphill fight in the second half after trailing, 4 to 12, at the intermission, and just fell short of tying the count when the Colonial varsity succeeded in freezing the ball during the final minutes. The Cardinal Yearlings stepped out in the final half to gain an easy victory after George Washington had gotten away to a 15-14 edge at half time. by Fine, Castell and Harris the Colonial varsity had little difficulty in gaining a substantial lead in the first 20 minutes of play. A lone goal from scrimmage by Walsh was the only 2‘-l pointer Catholic could count in this| half. It was a different story, however. | after play got under way in the second half. For the first 10 minutes George ‘Washington held its commanding lead, but then the Cardinals started bom. ‘With the score 21 to 13 Hickey made good on a foul attempt and then fol- lowed with a pretty running shot from near the 15-foot line to cut the Colonial lead to 5 points. Castell, however, shot two fouls to increase his team's edge to 7.

M. I. at Night, 39 to 21. By DENMAN N the eve of departure of the Nationals’ van- guard for Biloxi, Miss., to prep for Washing- ton’s thirtieth consecutive American League season old- time fans may be interested in’ perusing the accompanying box score of the first game ever played by a club repre- senting the National Capital in the circuit conceived by Ban Johnson and now presided over by Ernest S. Barnard. It was in 1901, the second year of existence of the Amer- ican League, that Washington joined it, with Jimmy Manning as president as well as man- ager, and in the course of the campaign the team won 61 games and lost 72, finishing sixth with a percentage of .459, its batting mark being .274 and its fielding average .939. Staged at Philadelphia on April 26, before a crowd es- timated at 15,000, with Mayor Ashbridge tossing out the first ball, that initial American League game proved a victory for Washington, as the adjoin- ing box shows. Napoleon La- joie, the most famous of the athletes who participated, was the only Philadelphia batsman with whom “Poker Bill” Car- rick had any trouble, Larry gathering three of his team’s seven safeties and, incident- ally, drilling on to an all-time record of .422 for the season. Team Proved Trailer. President-Manager Manning bhad rounded up a collection of players the critics at that time regarded %s a sure-fire first division entry, but they proved disappointing and few of the 1901 roster remained when the team lined up for the following year. Then a notable addition was Ed Dela- hanty, termed by some the greatest righthand hitter the game ever produced, but he failed to help Washington NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND'S basket ball team performed the unusual stunt of winning its second game in one day when it trimmed the Virginia Military Insti- tute quint at College Park last night, 39 to 21. In the afternoon the Old Liners had routed Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, 39 to 24, and had little more than time to get back to College Park and eat| their dinner before taking on the| Cadets. Like the game in Baltimore, the one here was settled quickly. The Old Liners ran up a 16-to-3 lead on the Lexingtonians, and despite a spurt by the latter late in the first half, the Old Liners were , 21 to 11, at inter- mission. Coach Burton Shipley used 13 play- ers in all and he had his per- formers in and out as about as often as_the rules would permit. Nine of the 13 Old Liners figured in the counting with Capt. Bill Evans, who with 8 points. Last night's victory gave Maryland 15 wins in 20 games, with their record in the Southern Conference standing at 9 and 5.

BILOXIISAWAITING JORNSON'S ARRIAL Griff Regales Mississippians With Tales of Barney’s Prowess as a Pitcher. Special Dispatch to The Star. ILOXI, Miss., February 22.— President Clark Griffith to- day completed final ar- rangements for the recep- tion here next week of the first squad of his Washington team, which will begin its base ball training Wednesday morning at the city-owned ball park here, built especially for the purpose of providing a suitable training site for major league guests. All Walter Johnson and his athletes need to do is to sign their names on the hotel register when they check in Wednesday, for they will find that everything to facilitate a thorough and pleasant conditioning perfod possible to anticipate has been done, with the city authorities giving whole-hearted co-op- eration. And only a continuance of the brand of weather which has been on tap here since the Griffith party arrived is needed to make the Nation- als' first visit to Mississippi a most successful one. Hark, Hark, It's Clark. Grantland Rice's designation of Wal- ter Johnson as the speediest of pitch- ers and the only one who made rival players report “sick” on days when he was carded to work is heartily seconded by Clark Griffith. “He not only made rival players ‘duck’ whenever it was possible to avold facing him,” Griff cbserved today in a fanning bee with some natives, “but 1 recall on one occasion an American League manager did a bit of sidestep- ping because the one and cnly Walter was announced as our pitcher. “It was in the early part of our famous winning streak of 17 straight, and we hit Chicago with, I believe, seven straight games to our credit. Jimmy Callahan and Kid Gleason ambled over toward our dugout and commenced a playful but insistent ‘razz’ regarding our streak. They :g:npd it was- to be gently but firmly ttered that day, and offered to wager $25 that the White Sox would win. “The hue and cry against bet! by ting ball players had not reached tre point in those days where it was deemed a crime. Personally, I did not bet, told them so, and had to stand further razzing. Tom Hughes pitched for us, and we won. “The next day I had Paul Musser and Joe Engel as my available pitching material. Callahan and Gleason again paid me a visit, once more endeavored |to prod me into a bet—and again I | refused. Somehow or another Musser |and Engle, between them, kept our strelkdmlnl. and the third game came ! around.

Walter won, 10 to 0. “Callahan and Gleason were too shrewd, even though the percentage was all in favor of Washington losing, to take a chance when Johnson was pitching. And he was ‘right'—and when Walter was right he was almost unbeatable. “Why, the bare announcement that Johnson was going into the box one day caused a man to faint—this is gospel truth,” Griff continued, in rem- iniscent vein. “It was in Boston, and betting there in those days was ram- 2" Washington Vit Sad wasered $3500 ‘ashington wagered $2,500 to $1,000 on the Red Sox, Y “Bedient was in the box for Boston.

These sounded like idle words, however, until the seventh, when, with two runs over in a Wi n rally and two men on, Schaefer hit the fence for a double, and the Washing- tons were ahead. “When the side was retired, with sev- eral Washington pitchers in the bull- pen warming up, I motioned to the bunch, and Johnson, pointing to him- self, asked, ‘Me’?

In that same record-winning streak of ours at Detroit, with the score 1 to 0 in our favor in the ninth, Oscar Vitt met one of Johnson's fast ones and it went for a triple. Nothing for John- son to do then but face, in turn, Cobb, Crawford and Delehanty—all in the ' prime, ““Yes, one of the trio got a foul, but this was the only time a Detroit bat got near Walter's fast ones.
