HAS A FAKISH LOOK.
Ned Hanlon Slated to Manage the New
York Americans.

A special from New York says bomb
shell was exploded in base ball circles there
last night when 1t was stated on undisputed
authority that a great shakeup has oc
Cured in the personnel of the New York
American League Club. President Gordon
has been deposed, it is said, and Frank Far
rell the secretary and treasurer of the club,
will be elected in his place at the annual
meeting of the club next month.
Joseph Gavin, the assistant secretary, will
be succeeded by A. Nahon, who will become
the secretary.
For the past five months it has been
known that Farrell has been working
strenuously to obtain full control of the
club, but Gordon baked him in his efforts.
Although he did not admit it openly, Far
rell was entirely dissatisfied with the man
ner in which Clark Griffith managed the
team. But Gordon has supreme confidence
in Griffith and, being the president, insisted
that Griffith should be retained. The de-
termination to secure new manager for
the team, it is learned, was the work OF
Farrell. With the pick of the cream of the
National and American leagues. and with
a salary list of $40 600, Farrell thought that
the team should have been pennant posi-
bilities from the outset. True, Griffith had
carte blanche in the management of the
team, but Farrell objected to Griffith sign
ing more players. The stars, too. did not
scintilate as Farrell had anticipated, and
the fact that the nine did not finish among
the first three teams made him arrive at the
conclusion that complete change in the
club and team was necessary.
During the racing season about New York
Ed Hanlon, manager of the Brooklyns, was
seen riding to the track with Frank Far
rell in the latters automobile. They have
held several conferences since the closing
of the base ball season, and the result, 1t is
said will be Hanlon's selection as manager
of the New York Americans next season at
the largest salary ever paid a man in his
position.

The foot ball, warriors representing the
Colored High School of this city and the
Baltimore Colored High and Training
School met yesterday afternoon at Oriole
Park, Baltimore, in their annual battle,
and after peace had been restored it was
seen that the Baltimore aggregation had

during the present season few occasions
to play games they have, nevertheless
been practicing steadily and they put up
a good article of ball
Although the Baltimore team got the
better of the argument the NWashingt ton
players made the Baltimore team work
hard for it's victory. Several times the
Capital City boys came dangerously near
the Baltimore boys goal, but brace by
the latter team made a kick necessary.
Baltimore won the toss and allowed the
visitors to kick off. The ball changed

LARGE WHIST GAME.
Best Players in the City to Take Part
in a Round Of Compass.

From reports received by the committee
having the matter in charge it is more than
likely that one of the largest games of COM
pass whist on record in the city will be
held tonight at the rooms of the Chess,
Checkers and Whist Club, on 18th street
northwest. These games are the outcome
of an effort that has been made to organ
ize a gentlemans whist club in Washing
ton 1t was at first intended to make sep
arate organization of it, but the whist COM
mittee of the Chess, Checkers and Whist
Club put forward such a hearty invitation
and fair proposition that it was decided to
affiliate with that organization. AS a re-
suit the round of compass whist was pro-
posed for tonight, and Messrs. Toliferro
and Lundy. the head of the committee of
the new organization. have received assur-
ances that a host of the best players in the
city will participate All whist lovers are
invited and it is expected that the playing
will be of high order of merit. Play will
start promptly at o'clock.

TODAY'S BIG GAME.
Army and Navy Teams and How They
Compare

The last act of the foot ball play takes
place today at Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
with the Army and Navy players as the
cast 1t is to be a one-sded controversy
according to popular belief-at least the
Army Is a big favorite for the game. Sew
eral favorites have been capSiZed this year,
but on the records of the two teams the
odds the Army to win today quite
justified The West Pointers held Harvard
to a to score. scored on Yale and de-
feated the University of Chicago. Annapo-
lis. on the other hand, has been beaten by
such teams as the GeOrgetowns. Virginia
P. l., Pennsylvania State and Washington
and Jefferson, teams not in the same class
with the eevenS West Point has met.
The Army team not only has the advan-
tage of weight and years, but its makeup
has been settled for some time, while only
this week experimenting with positions
took place at Annapolis. Annapolis changed
it's coaching system this year, securing Yale
instead of Princeton coaches, while Yale
coaching has long been in vogue at West
Point. However the Army has depended
largely on graduate coaches for two sea-
and has come to rely on its own out
put for instruction, Annapolis teams
never beaten before hand and usually put
forth their best efforts against their chief
rival and while the MiddieS have a her.
culean task today they may be counted on
to play their hardest foot baU. Still, If
they win it will be the biggest upset of the
year.
There are more experience and foot ball
knowledge in the West Point line than In
the Navy line. There is not much choice
at the ends, each having one fast and ex-
perienced end. Hammond of West Point
and Soule of Annapolis. Rockwell, who
has been playing the other end for West
Point lately, is a light man, quick to size
things up and gritty. but likely to have
hard time in holding his own with Harvard
or Whiting of Annapolis, whichever fills the
position. Thompson and Graves, the West
Point tackles, are rated as inferior to Grady
or Doherty and Piersol of Annapolis, and
in the center Mettler. Upton and Riley pre-
sent a hard problem for Chambers, Rees
and Oak of Annapolis. The West Point
center has been pretty stanch all season
West Point has a cool and steady quarter
back in Hackett, removed from half back
and veteran player. This position has
given Annapolis trouble all season, first
Needham being tried there, then Wilcox
then Strasburger. The last named is a val
liable man in the back field, and the other
backs, any or all of whom may get in the
game, are Doherty, Root, Halsey, Decker,
Whiting and Reichmuth. Farnsworth, Hill
