GEORGE WASHINGTON WON.
Easily outplayed Randolph Macon

The George Washington University foot
ball team played its first regular game OF
the season yesterday afternoon on Univer-
sity Field. the Randolph-Ma team OF
Ashland. Va. being its opponents. and a
fine victory was scored, the final figures
being II to O.
The Washington team outweighed the
Virginians, and also easily outplayed them.
and for their first endeavor every man on
the local team Is open to congratulations.
The old Columbian teams were never fac
tors in the local contests, but from present
appearances the Georgetown boys have at
last foe worthy of its best endeavors.
In the first half the Randolph Macon boys
started off with dash that looked well
from the stands. but as soon as the Vir-
ginians struck the Washington line a diff
ferent aspect was given affairs, as the WIS.,
ltors appeared like water dashing against
stone wall. Washington Immediately got
busy, and splendid rushes resulted in
marked gains. principally through the GEN.

goal had been made. The second goal
came In about the same way as the first.
the visitors line being too light to hold
the rush of the Washington boys. After
the kickoff Stevenson made sensational

more dashes for small gains were made
and then the first half was over. In the

SPIT BALL.
Pitcher Flaherty Tells How to Throw

Much has been written about the "sptt
BALI of late, but as yet there has been no
particularly lucid explanation given as to
what constitutes this style of delivery that
is playing hob with batsmen in the Ma
tional and American Leagues. Patsy Fla
herty. the Pirates twirler. has the best
"spit BALI of any member OF the Pittsburg
team, and his explanation Of how 1t Is
thrown is extremely interesting and enlight-
ening.
ITO throw the spit ball." said Flaherty,
you moisten the first and second fingers
of the pitching hand, allowing these fingers
to rest but lightly upon the surface of the
ball, which is held in q fairly firm clasp
between the thumb and the third finger
doubled into the hand. The grasp, except
for the fact that the ball Is not clasped
firmly by the first and second fingers, is the
same as that used in throwing the fast ball.
The style of delivery Is the same, too, but
as the ball simply slides over the moistened
first and second fingers. instead Of being
guided by them, the ball does not reyolve
as 1t goes toward the batsman. On the
contrary. 1t Is about as mOttonleSs as slow
the ball is liable to take any kind of a
shoot when 1t reaches the batsman drop
ping out, and sometimes dropping straight
before him. l have seen a spit BALI take
a drop of a foot and a half, making the
batsman who struck at 1t seem extremely
with the same motion as a fast straight
ball 1t does not go rs fast. having the
speed of an ordinary curved 7bali-that is.
about the speed between fast ball and a
slow one. There seems to be no way to
control the spit ball at present. All "a.
pitcher can do is to throw 1t and take his
chances of having it go in the right direc-
ton to fool the batsman."

WOMEN GOLFERS.
England's Champion Beat Representa-
tive Field at Riverton,

Miss Charlotte bod, Great Britain's
golfng champion, made her initial appear
ance upon American links yesterday, when
she figured as competitor in the invita-
ton tourney arranged by Mrs. Cecil Filter
AN enthusiastic member of the Riverton
Country Club near Philadelphia. 1t was
over the distances of the Riverton links
that Miss bod made her bow to the peculi-
arities Of the American inland courses, and
she signalized her immense possibilities by
carrying off the chief trophy of the day.
Mrs. Filter had invited the pick Of the
women golfers, of whom the Quaker city
might well boast, to meet the visiting
champion, and as an event of the day a
handicap against DOGGY was arranged.
This event was divided into two classes
and, after Miss bod had won the main tro-
ply with display of golf that was some
thing of an eye-opener to the general COM
munity of contestants, the hard conditions
prevailing were sufficient to account for the
going of the majority Of the competitors.
With all the free swing, becomes the
British school, Miss bod has. In addition,
a wonderful command of her irons. and
upon the green's she displays the courage
Of a veteran. When all is said and done.
yesterdays event was wholly in the nature
of a practice round for the distinguished
visitors benefit. and the Philadelphians
could but admire her form and general
quality of play.
With the hard handicap prevailing against
the inveterate Colonel" however, there
was little apology for the showing OF the
Philadelphians, with Miss bod finishing
down to the indomitable contestants, Mrs.
Caleb F. Fox and Miss Gertrude Gilbert Of
Huntington Valley. came within hole OF
the formidable leader. The pair finished
one worse than Miss bod and In the play-off
Of the tie for the second trophy Mrs. Fox
won out.
In the second division Miss Groves and
Miss North tied for the prize, both being
eight down to the Colonel" In the play
off Miss Groves won out. and the whole
field was particularly contented that the
days golf had passed OF In a manner fit
tingly becoming to the arrival from the
British Isles of such renown as their Wis
itor.
The competitors In the first flight were.
In addition to Miss bod, Mrs Fox and Miss
Gilbert Miss T. w. Reath, Miss F. Ayers,

The Senators started their closing series
in Detroit yesterday afternoon and lost
another game by one run. the Tigers get
ting the decision by the score of to 2.
Case Patten was on the rubber for the
Senators and held the Tigers down to five
hits. but ex-senator Robinson smashed out
triple that scored two runs and practical
ly won the game for Detroit Back Of
Patten the Senators put up their usual fast
fielding game, but one misplay being made.
and that by the star shortstop, Joe Cas-
sidy.
Jaeger. who worked for the Three League
this season, was given try out by the
Detroits. and he held the Senators down to
five hits. O'Neill getting two, double and
a single, while Pitcher Patten also made a
double. Jaeger's support was not Of the
best. Drill and Coughlin making an error,
while he contributed a misplay himself.
Neither team got man over the home
plate until the eighth inning, and then both
sides did the scoring of the game.
For Washington. Kittredge waited pa
tiently and was rewarded with a base on
balls. Patten tried to sacrifice but Jaeger
after getting the ball, threw badly to Sec
ond and both runners were SAFE MIL, who
had taken O'Netlls place as the leader off
in the batting list, then dropped a beauti-

jump mile in the air to pull down his wild
throw. and Kittredge reached the third
sack in safety. Hunter Hill then came for
ward with a nice single through the inleld,
and Kittredge and Patten scored. StahI
then whipped single to left, but Mill, who
tried TO score from second. was nipped at
the plate by a good throw from Mcintyre
to Drill. Manager Donovan got a good line

cut the grass when he lit out for home.
Jaeger then struck out Huelsman, and
Cassidy went out on bounder to Coughlin.
handicap Of two runs looked very big
against the Detroits with Patten going

but the unexpected happened as usual.
Mcintyre hit roller to Stahl and as
neither Patten nor Mil covered the bag,
the batter was safe. Coughlin was then hit
with the ball and trotted down to first. Ex-
Senator. Robinson trotted to the plate and
sent out line fly that struck the fence in
right field and was good for three bases.
Mcintyre and Coughlin scoring. Crawford
followed with long fly to O'Neill. and
Robby crossed the plate with what proved
to be the winning run as the Senators went

A GREAT BAaGER.
Old Dan Brouthers still Hits the Ball
Hard.

From the Cincinnati Inquirer
One of the umpires OF tie Hudson River
League saw the Reds play the other day,
and commented upon the fact that there
were no youngsters breaking into the bust
ness these days, who equaled the former
giants Of the game In smuggling ability.
They may be able to outfield some of the
old boys" said the handler of the Indicator
but when it comes to walloping the bali,
the old timers had shade the best OF your
star batters of today. That batsmen are
born and not made. and that they can bat
long after their other powers as players are
on the wane, is shown In the case of Dan
Brouthers this year. Dan played In the
Hudson River League this year, circuit
composed of towns between New York and
Albany, in the Hudson river territory. and
there was not a man feared as much In the
entire league as Dan. OF course every
pitcher that faced him knew that In his
day Brouthers was one Of the greatest play
ers that ever wore a spiked shoe. His repu-
tation as batsman will live long after he
has been laid away. These youngsters
Detroit club captured him as one of the
big four and his subsequent career with
various championship teams, and they re-
spected him for It, But. more than all, they
respect him for what he can do now.
Brouthers despite his fifty or more years.
can hit as hard and as far as ever he did.
l have seen him In a number OF games
during the past summer, and the only time
he was allowed a chance to hit the ball was
when there was no one on base, or when
his side was so far ahead that there was
no chance Of it being overtaken. With
man on base and the score close 1t was
the pitchers cue to give Brouthers base
on balls. and he invariably would follow his
little book closely. 1 have seen Brouthers
hit more balls over the fence than I have
seen him make outs. And he promises to
be back in the game next season again"

EVENING STAR GOLF CUP.
Play for This Trophy Will Be Started
Anew Next Saturday.

The fall campaign for The Evening Star
cup will get under way next Saturday.
The committee having the matter in charge
met last night and framed up the following
schedule:
Chevy Chase vs. Washington, October 8,
at Chevy Chase.
Columbia vs. Washington, October 10, at
Washington.
Columbia VS.. Chevy Chase October Is, at
Columbia.
This schedule Is somewhat dependent
upon the Washington Club, as there are so
many members OF that organization still
out of the city that perhaps 1t will be dlfti-
cult to place a team in the field.
Last spring the Chevy Chase team de-
feated Columbia and the latter will do its
best to win back its prestige. Chevy Chase
has won the cup one season and Columbia
twice. so that by winning this fall tho for
mer has good chance Of getting perma-
nent possession of the trophy next season.

Ball Dragged So Spit Ball Could Not
Be Used.
From the Cleveland Leader

Many fans who saw Mondays first ball
game at Cleveland wondered why Jack
Chesbro of the New Yorks did not use his
celebrated "spit BALI oftener. 1t was no.
ticed that Jacks hands travelled but seldom
to his mouth. and that when they did Jacks
face looked afterward as though he had
tasted something unpleasant.
The secret leaked out after the game, one
of the New York players having done q
little Sherlock Holmes work. which resulted
in his discovering the plot. The Cleveland
team. he relates. had basely purchased q
small bottle of q drug called tincture OF
capsicum. the same being liquid which
is better than tobasco sauce by several
hundred degrees.
with this stun did they carefully anoint
