Immediately Upon receipt Of the tele-

the money to go to charity in the event
a championship battle does not take

Among them are r. A ThGrman, Har-

As the Pacific Athletic Club OF Los

$1,000 for tight between Burns and

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The struggle or the
two Chicago clubs for the championship

day. The Nationals are high 1ayorites

2 TO ! viii be laid on them, and 1t Is
the expectation that they viii land the
series. Stiu, the White Sox VIII not
lack for support
The latter has a splendid array or
pitchers and two OF the best OF catch
ers. White. AltrOck. and Walsh VIII be
expected to work havoc TO the opposing
forces. Pitcher Brown. OF the Chi
cagos. has not been IN his usual shape
OF late and it is a question whether he
will be ready TO go into the game IN the
best of condition, but Reulbach, Tay-
Tor, and Pfeister are a clever trio
Sox Weak at Bat.
The White Sox rate as the weakest
batting aggregation in the American
League, but no club makes more or us
hits than do Jones men. They VIII
have to get the better Of Catcher John
King 10 maintain their reputation IN
this respect, and If they cannot 1t viii
be difficult TO make the rounds OF the
bases many times.
IT IS the general opinion that II is the
suDeriority OF the Cubs IN the batting
denartment that will enable them 20 win
with ease. Steinfeldt, the third base
man, is a slugger such as the American
League aggregation cannot boast.
Schultz is also clever batsman and
Sheckard possesses a very high reputa-
tfon in that direction. king IS rated as
one OF the best batting catchers In the
country. Then there IS Chance. VINO
rates high as batsmau, fielder. and base
runner. Many viii be surprised II the
series viii so more games than -asS

aee. The club that takes the first game

and DeVine, Another
Crack Back, In.

The prospects Of the Georgetown
eleven were greatly frightened yester-
day by the appearance OF nine new men.
Most of these were from the law school,
which opened last week
Kerr, a new man from the South, was
IN the lineup for a few minutes and
showed speed. His punung was tea-
ture. Fitzgerald, OF the Georgetown
Prep team two years ago. was out FOR
fuUback, auG. though light Tor the pO-
sition is very fast. Stuart and tltz-
gerald. who are both trying for full
back, also row on the varsity crew as
stroke and captain, respectively.
Many New Line Men.
Buckley, of last years second team,
was at guard He is much heavier than
he was last year. Raucher. from Rock
hill School is a husky lad and should
make good at one Of the tackles. Glen
non, from Holy Cross. was out for the
first time yesterday. as was O'Gorman,
the shot-putter and old guard on the
Prep team. Both are heavy and az
gressive.
But by far the most promising looking
athlete appears 70 be Devine, the new
fullback from the West. He weighs
about $50 pounds. Is as fast as they
come. and undoubtedly will have a place
in the Georgetown back held before
long. He and butcher VIII be out to-
day. He may take the halfbaCks S pO-
sitlOn from OBOyle or Mclaughlin, as
butcher has first call for fun on account
of his good work last year. The ap-
pearance Of Cogan, last years guard,
the line. Yesterday Cogan was at cen

FOOTBALL.
The new rules do not acknowledge
such a rough method Of play as charg-
ing. When the ball is snapped one team
does not "get the charge" on the other;
the players simply "move toward the
restraining line" Isn't that n0n-brutal
for you?

Scrimmage Work Yesterday.

The practice yesterday consisted of a
long scrimmage. the varsity hammering
away at the tackles and guards of the
second team for good gains. The var
sity was fast on end runs and kicks.
Afterward Captain BocOck put the team
through a snappy signal practice. No
III effects from Saturdays game were
apparent.
Tomorrow the varsity will play a
practice game with st. Stephens Institute
of this city. This team IS said to be
composed of some crack players and
some poor ones. Its lineup is expected
to be practically the same as that of the
Gun Factory eleven, which played George
Washington a few days ago. Some com
parisOn of the relative strength of
Georgetown and George Washington
may be made after tOmOrTOW's s game.
