Western and Business schools to the
league. The Central has won two games
and so has the astern team. SO that the
game tomorrow means the adjustment of
the championship difficulty beyond all
doubt. except in case of a tie.
The teams are about evenly matched, to
all appearances, with the chances slight
ly In favor of the Easterns on account
of the greater number of games played
and on account Of the all-round better con-
dition of the men. The Central team needs
no excuse made for it, however. and the
boys are willing to take their medicine,
should they be defeated, with the best pos
sible grace. The teams weigh about the
same. although there have been some
changes since the beginning of the sea-
son, and are evenly matched in this regard.
The Eastern team Will in all probability
be made up from the following list, al
though Captain soc" Maupin. the ener-
getic and skillful leader of the Eastern
warriors. may decide upon a change of
personnel at the last moment:
Left end. j. Maupin: left tackle. CHAPLIN:

Unpires and Schedule.
The double umpire ssstsh win doubtless
add to the peace and5g94d order of the
game. as the work OF The umpires will be
confined to a specific dNty; consequently
they will be less liable to tsfu in Judgment.
The schedule or ne4t ipeasonz will be a
sons-instead of two trips east and west
with a series Of three games as hereto
fore, there will be four trips The circuit
win be divided into four geographical sec
tions. as follows: Chiehgnt Cleveland and
Pi a'.st in the northYsstii Cincinnati. St
Boston. Brooklyn andl1New York in the
northeast: Philadelphia, G Baltimore and
Washington in the southeast. While the
northwest section-Chica8o, Cleveland and
Observation-Disclosures. Baltimore and WASH
ington-in the west, the northwest section
Boston, Brooklyn and New York-will be
playing the southwest section-Cincfnnati
Louisville and ST. Louis--in the east In
other words. while three eastern clubs are
playing in the west, three western clubs
will be playing in the east.
The teams will play nine games away
from home on trip instead of eighteen, as
heretofore. No more than twelve consecu-
tive games are to be played on each dia-
mond; in other words, clubs will play two
weeks at home and two abroad. OF course
the schedule will be arranged so as to play
off postponed games Hereafter clubs may
arrange to transfer games without the con-
sent of the other clubs 1t is thought that
the extra expense of this arrangement, in
consequence of increased mileage, will be
overcome by increased attendance, as
series Of eighteen or twenty games at home
becomes mOnotonous to regular patrons
of nine or twelve games. The next meet
ing of the league will be held at St. Louis.

guard. Lowell. Licarione Bliss; right tackle.
Llcarione, Bliss; right end, S. Maupin;
quarter back. Hoover; right halfback, Bliss,
Brewer, Combs, Buckingham; left half
back, Worsley: fullback, Smell
1t will be seen that Captain Maupin has
some excellent players and that the chances
Tor MS making up winning team are
many. His own work on the field ia well
known. while he is ably backed up by
Smell at full back and Worsley at half j.
Maupin at the other end of the line is in
the game every second of the time, and
the two brothers make a hard pair to skirt
when 1t comes to making gains around the
ends.
The Central team will be selected from
the following. Captain Oyster having given
all Of his men an equal chance to find out
their worth ard ability in the various po-
sitions of tie team:
Left end Bustome, Bristow; left tackle,
Barnard; left guard. Blackiston; center,
Paschal; right guard, SDowden. Mueden;
right end. Began: quarter back. Ellis; left
half back. Curtiss; right half back, Shus-
ter: full back. Oyster.
Captain Oyster does not have quite so
much material to pick from as Captain
Maupin, but he is perfectly satisfied with
the makeup of his team and believes that
the game will come his way. Captain Oys-
ter's work is as well known as that of Cap
main causes for the success of the Cen
trail team this year. The remainder of the
team is made up of hard-working boys who
are always ready to practice and the team
has showed the greatest amount Of i'm
provement since the beginning of the sea-
son.
As is usually the case, the young ladies
from the two schools will occupy prominent
seats and there will be the usual amount
of roofing on the part of the adherents of
the two schools 1t is generally the case
that the pupils at the Western School
support anything that the Central does.
and in which they do not have the luck
or fortune to have a representative, while
the Business team, under like circum-
stances, generally cheers for the Eastern
School. In this way things are evened up
somewhat and there is every prospect for
lively time at National Park tomorrow,
when the two forces come together.
In years past the Central team has gen.
orally found the Easterns rather an easy
mark. and Captain Maupin and his band
of braves may be depended upon to exert
every effort to bring about change in the
old order of things.

A CREDITABLE DEFEAT,
The knickerbOckers Won From the

The knfckerb0ckers Won From the
C.. A. G. Saturday.
The Columbia Athletic Club was defeated
at foot ball Saturday by the KnickerbockeI
Club of New York by a, score of IL to 4
1t seemed to the disinterested spectators
that the score really was Il to 6. The
drop kick for goal by Dyer in the first halt
was not allowed because the place from
which the kick was made was not properly
heeled. That question was open to dispute
however, for authorities present, just ex-
pert as the official who rendered the de-
cision, regarded the kick as perfectly fair
Indeed, 1t was said that some OF the Knick-
erboeker players thought it should have
been allowed but the oficiafs decision
stood.
Although the local boys were defeated
their defeat was much more creditable than
many of their victories. 1t was by faI
the most spirited contest seen on the local
grounds this year. and the home boys who

winged arrow team, and they came with
an almost unbroken record of victories
The First Score.
The Columbia team, much to the surprise
of everybody, started in on the aggressive

down was secured very soon after the ball
was put in play. couple Of double passes
which worked beautifully, some good in
reference and sprinting made this posi-
BILE.
Against the Home Team.
While the referee was doubtless impartial
in his decisions, there were not a few who
thought the rules were rather rigidly en-
forced against Columbia. The locals. for
instance. were frequently charged with Off
side play and the claim was allowed in al
most every instance It would happen in
this way: The Knickerbocker quarterback
would give his signals, but the ball would
not be snapped. 1t seemed as If they wait
ed on purpose for some of the c. A. c. line
to break through, so as to furnish a claim
for ,ofr-side play. This happened fire.
quently.
How They Gained.
The visitors superior weight and strength
GRABBED them to break through the Column
bia line. and 1t was by gains in this way
that they gained their two goals. 1t looked
very much, however. as II they used the
prohibited mass plays in making these
gains. One Of the C. A. c. subs. ON the
side line remarked: why, we never prac-
ticed those plays: we thought they were
illegal"
The defeat of the home team was a very
C, editable defeat.
