five; Cincinnati, Baltimore and Boston had
four: Washington, St Louis, Brooklyn,
Louisville, New York and Chicago, three
each. and Cleveland but one. Catcher Zim
mer.
A closer analysis of the fielding will
doubtless find the real reason for the low
standing of the Senators, outside of Kit
fridge there is not player on the local
team who stands near the top in the diff
ferent positions on the field. In twenty-six
catcherS little kittridge stands fourth, a
remarkable showing considering that the
Senator'S reliable catcher went into many
games with a crippled ankle.
Among the twenty-sx first basemen
Danny Mccain worked his way up to the
seventh position, teing Beckley with the
same figures, 1884 per cent. Mccain start
ed in badly with the Washingtons, but
his true form cropped out in the last month
of play, and he is undeniably top liner
at the initial corner.
The remaining positions are the ones in
which the Senators make sorry showing.
At second base, Bonner who played a ma
jority of the games, stood fifteenth in a list
of eighteen men guarding the second cor
ner. Padden played the position off and
on, but he did even better than Bonner,
getting into the thirteenth position. At
third base the Senators again drop woefully,
as Mercer stands twentieth among twenty
one players, who took care of the third
sack, his average being .S59. Dick Padden
at shortstop did more than WELL he
topped men like Clingman and Cross his
position being eighth in list of eighteen
players, his figures being .917
Fourteen players played left field during
the past season, and Jack OBrien brings
up the rear in fourteenth place with per-
centage of .905 Jimmy Slage's work in
the fielding line was considered exception
ally brilliant, yet the best he could do was
to secure thirteenth place in a list of TWEEN
ty-three players. 1t can be said in favor of
slagle that he outpointed such good field
ers as Hoy, Van Haltren, Mcbride and
Beaumont, his figures being .944. Buck

This sentiment was the keynote of the
luncheon and reception given to Sir Thomas
Upton by the members of the Transporta-
ton Club, New York, yesterday afternoon,
in their rooms on the top floor of the Man
haitian Hotel building. Senator Depew,
president of the club, who presided, voiced
the sentiment.
Senator Depew, in his address, speaking
of the yacht race. said:
I'VE had a contest between fair, square
sportsmen. We felt If we were to keep the
cup the American eagle would have to
hump himself as he never had before.
No man has contributed much to the
speed of England and much to exhilarate
the speed of this country Sir Thomas.
He wanted that cup. We stopped twisting

had to stick pins in the eagle. The result

CENTRALS BADLY BEATEN.
GaIlaudet Eleven scored 80 to the
school Boys, Nothing.

The GaIlaudet foot ball team lined up
against the Central High School eleven for
a practice contest yesterday afternoon. and
had but little trouble in scoring thirty
points against the, school boys nothing.
The game was an excellent practice for
the mutes. and helped much toward
strengthening their interference. They
found a formidable foe in the Central
School team which put up an admirable
defensive game and held its more expert
enced and much heavier antagonists strong
ly especially in the second half, when
only two touchdowns were made.
GeilfusS. left end for Gallaudet, displayed
somewhat remarkable skill in kicking goals
following touchdOwns by putting the pig
skin oval exactly between the post each of
lis five attempts. Andree, right half back,
and Waters, full back, made many note
worthy gains with the ball by their logged
and indomitable running. Central was hard
ly able to gain the required five yards
against Gallaudets superb defense, and had
possession of the ball but little.
Central played a strong defensive game,
Brush. Barringer, and Hunter doing excep
tonally good work, and Taylor demonstrate
ed strong punting ability.

James JeffOrds Knocked Out by Gus
Rubin.

James Jeffords, the young California pu-
gilist. made his first eastern appearance at
the new Broadway athletic Club, New York,
last night. and was knocked out in the fifth
round by Gus" Rublingtl the Akron, Ohio,
giant. There was a, lot of smuggling in the
first four rounds. and II Jeffords had not
mixed things up so-frsely he might have
stalled off Rubin sarusfses. Rubin simply
battered him down after Jeffords had
gained a very decided advantage. Rubin
foored him three times in the fourth
round and put him. out with straight left

more near the tail end of the list. Dinneen
did the best work, and as result landed
in the twenty-siXth hole, Magee in the for
tieth, weighing in the forty-fourth and Nc
Farlan in the forty-sixth. If pitchers, as
reputed, are three-fourths of a game, 1t is
a wonder the Senators landed as many VIC
tories as they did. In the different posi-
tons. including the twfrlers, 1t will be
found that the Bostons, Brooklyns and
Phillies' have their representatives always
near the top of the list. Much can be said
in favor of heavy batting in winning games,
but unless there is more than a fair share
of good fieiders on teams that contain slug
gers victories will be few and far between.

CHICAGO, October 25.-The Tribune saws:
A national billiard association NAV soon
be in the field. When the central associa-
ton of the Amateur Athletic Union recon-
mended on Monday night the expulsion of
the eight players now engaged in the three
cushion tournament in this city 1t took an
action that may go far toward aiding in the
early formation of such an organization. A
prominent billiardist, in speaking Of the
matter. said:
THE action of the Amateur Athletic
Union only emphasizes the necessity of
those interested In billiards getting togeth-
er and forming organization on lines
similar to those of the League Of American
Wheelmen and the American Bowling Con-
gress. L would not be surprised to see the
organization this winter. Such a league
would accomplish great many desirable
things. 1t could take the veXed question Of
amateurism in billiards and settle IL.
1T could have professional class, just
as the League of American Wheelmen has.

teur and professional, could arrange tour
naments in accordance with this classical
ton, could change the classification a often

Local Contests of Interest on the
Foot Ball Field.

LUN EON FOR Upton

A great deal of interest centers around
the foot ball game this afternoon on
Georgetown field, between the wearers of
the blue and gray and the eleven from the
Baltimore Medical College The Balti-
moreans are heavier, have not yet met de-
feat and on form should be able to de-
feat the local eleven. But the Georgetown
boys have been improving at a great rate
during the past week or two and a close
game will likely be played. The visitors
have played and won from the University
of Virginia and Gallaudets. and today's
contest will give Coach Church of the
Georgetowns a good line on the other two
college teams.
High School Contests
The Eastern High School team will travel
over to College Park today and face the
boys representing the Maryland Agricul-
tural College Both teams have improved
their play recently, and an exciting con-
test is looked for
National Park this afternoon will be the
scene of an important and interesting strug-
gle for supremacy between the Business
and Western High School teams. These
games are for the local championship and
the followers of both teams will be on hand
to urge their representatives to put forth
their best efforts.
Other High School games have been ar
ranged as follows:
Wednesday, November Eastern VS.
Western.

Games Elsewhere.
Outside of the local games few important
mid-week battles will take place on the
gridiron this week, most of the big clubs
having important games Saturday and are
getting in condition for them. OF the Big
Four only the Tigers have a game for to-
day They will meet Lehigh, and. judging
from Lehigh's showing against Cornell last
week "Old Nassau's" kickers will have no
picnic Princeton will in fact, have a
hard weeks work, Cornell is scheduled
to play tie Tigers on Saturday, after the
stiff work of today.
Yale is getting ready to battle with Co
lumbia on Manhattan Field and Harvard
will have the Indians. The weak showing
of Penn this year has revived the effort on
the part of Yale to have Harvard renew
athletic relations g. with Princeton, drop
Penn and thus form big Three" to fight
for the championship. AS long as Har-
ward plays Penn, Princeton will not play
Harvard. which is considered unfortunate.
Yale would like nothing better than a
three cornered alliance, with Penn left out
in the cold. Whether Harvard will con-
sent to drop their Penn allies is doubtful.

NOT POOR HITTING.
Bad Fielding and Weak Pitching Re-
sPOnsible for Senator'S Downfall.

Many close followers Of the national
game and the local club have contended all

poor stick work. In looking over the bat
