CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

It was a gruelling struggle that the
Georgetown and Gallaudet teams INDUCED
IN yesterday. By the steady concentration
of her efforts on the same spots George
town weakened her opponents line in the
second half and sent men through for sure
gains every time, thus forcing a touchdown
by persistency. 1t was the only score
made, and the result was: Georgetown, 5;
Gallaudet, o.
The powerful 1fne-bucking qualities of
Georgetown are remarkable, the defense
of Gallaudet is equally to be commended.
Time and again Georgetown hurled her full
force against the mutes But after with
standing these onslaughts for more than
half the game the Gallaudet line, battered
and bruised, had to succumb. Wheeler and
Jones, the guards, were stone walls, but
Hemstreet at center and Carpenter and
Rosson as tackles were comparative light
weights, and naturally weakened, neceSSar-
lily giving way.
Gains around the ends on the soggy field
were practically out of the question, and
advances were made only by the hardest
kind of playing.
Both teams showed up well. both in de-
fensive and offensive work. But George
towns men worked better individually, and
played together as team better and faster.
For a good part of the first half indi-
cations pointed strongly to a touchdown
for Gallaudet and possibly victory. The
ball was kept in Georgetown's territory
most of the first half, and Gallaudet was
rushing 1t dangerously near goal, when
time was called with the ball on the blue
and gray's wenty-fiveyard line.
1t took Georgetown half Of the game to
learn Gallaudet's methods. During the
second half attention was given to resist
less, offensive play. The failure to kick
goal was disappointing, Green kicked
true as a shot for the middle of the bar
between the posts), but force was lacking.
Owing to the soggy field the game was
somewhat lacking in brilliant features.
Devlin made the star play with a thirty
yard run The strong line-bucking and
sround-gaining by Cummings, Reardon,
Kerns and Stout were rather notable. The
defense of Cummings, Long and Stout was
conspicuous, and Gracie's management of
the team and playing was excenent. The
tackiing of Andree and the ground gaining
of Waters and Rosson. and the kicking of
Geilfuss were alt features of the losing
teams play.
Last season these two teams each won a
game, and yesterday the eleven confronted
each other for the first time. and, of course,
a fine contest was looked for. The cold,
dismal weather kept the attendance down
to 500 spectators, but the news from the
field was anxiously awaited for by many.

by laborers is that French invention usually
has, to an American, a certain sense Of
awkwardness in its mechanical application.
The idea may be good one, but there is
very seldom any of the hardness which
one finds in an American invention. In the
many cases of application for American
patents which come before me, / am almost
always struck by this lack of directness of
application, which leaves them open to
competition, thus destroying the value of
the invention by improvement of applica-
ton of a principle.
This does not apply to an invention by
NJ. Pierre Paul Gubert of Millau, depart
ment of Aveyron, France intended to pre-
vent railway collisions. 1t is, in fact, a
simple and natural application of the block
system but, instead of merely displaying

the Eagles. But such a mix-up of players
has occurred since the close OF last sea-
son that both of the teams, far as CO.
hesive work was concerned. were new. The
Business Men, much the Golden
Eagle team, were untried. Out of South
Washington much talk has come to the
probable strength of their bowling organi
zation, and it seemed quite likely that
strong game from them could be expected.
The reverse, however. TRANSFERRED: the work
of the Business Men was quite poor. as
the scores will show. Smithson worked
hard and maintained good average. He
is undoubtedly one of the best spare bowl
ers in the league. But aside from kidds
run in the second game, he was poorly
supported. and 1t would appear the team
might be remade with profit to the organi-
cation which 1t represents. 1t might, in
deed, be well to find place for George
Laue, whose good work in other years Is
still remembered.
The first game was tame affair-long
drawn out and repete with poor work on
the part of both sides in the early frames.
The second half was better bowled. and in
this Deimer acquitted himself most credit
ably, running the first triple of the season
Armstrong had much trouble in regaining
his old form, and found many splits.

TO PREVENT COLLISIONS,
A French Invention Described by
Consul TOurgee.

Consul TOurgee.
Judge Albion w. Tourgee, United States
consul at Bordeaux, France, writes to the
state Department concerning inventions
for preventing railway collisions:
The fact that the United States is the
most profitable field for the exploitation Of
useful inventions has taken a firm hold
upon the inventive minds of other countries
and the first thing a man does who has a
novel idea of any sort is to seek to have
1t patented in the United States. That this
is especially true of inventions pertaining
to railway appliances is only natural when
one contemplates the fact that the United
States. with its $4,000 miles of railway
track, has six times the mileage of any
other country in the world.
French inventions are usually defective
In the mechanical character of the means
by which the end sought to be effected is
attained. This is, no doubt, due to the fact
that so small a proportion of the popula-
ton have any practical mechanical knowl-
edge. Almost every man in the United
States knows the use of tools. Very many
skilled workers. and those who have in
ventive tendencies are not ashamed to de-
vote their leisure time to the requirement
of technical skill necessary to prepare their
working models and perfect their inyen-
tions. In France, on the contrary, such
knowledge is considered derogatory to any
one in the higher walks of life. A clerk will
not close shutter nor dust off the ton of
the desk at which he works. since that is
the business of an 'ouvrier.' nor will man
who moves in good society permit himself
to be seen carrying a package of any sort
along the street.
