Well Pinned
For FOrdham
Old Rivals Meet Satur-
day for First Time on
Gridiron.

The Georgetown football squad,
twenty-five men strong, leaves tomOr-
row at l o'clock over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad on its first invasion OF
New York
Saturday. the Blue and Gray will meet
Fordham College in a struggle that viii
doubtless decide the Catholic college
championship of the East.
Georgetown and Fordham are ancient
rivals. and though they have tested
each others mettle in both baseball and
track they have never SIS yet met on
the gridiron. and this fact adds interest
to the coming conflict An. endeayor
was made last season to arrange such
a match, but the managers were unable
to come to an agreement on the date.
Reilly Encouraged.
Coach. Reilly has been watching the
work Of the FOrdh8m team closely all
year. and when seen yesterday on
Georgetown Field, said; ''Fordham has
the strongest team in the history OF
their school, and can give any team
a hard fight. The score against Franklin
and Marshall was the equal OF that
made by Pennsylvania this year, and
this in itself speaks we'll for the strength
of GeoFgetown's antagonists. The real
strength Of the Georgetown team has
not been shown yet this year, but on
Saturday with all the eX-inValids and
conditioned students back In the game

themselves"

worry all week 20 the Blue and Gray

the fight for positions being the most

Coach Reilly is more than pleased with
the showing made by the second team.
and is in quandry as TO who he ought
TO choose for the trip.
The regular lineup OF the varsity the
last two days is more than likely the
one that will start the Fordham game,
and is as follows:
Right end-Miller.
Right tackle-Vilsack
Right Guard-C,ain or Murray.
Center-Cullen

Quarterback-COhen.
Right halfback-Devine or McNuity.
Left halfbsck-Thomas.

DOES JOHNSON
HEAD REVOLT
IN AMERICAN 2
Rumor That President
Nay Withdraw From
Big League.

CHICAGO. Oct 24.-The startling state
ment that President Ban Johnson, of
the American League, is back of the
trouble with the American Association,
which has threatened TO quit organized
baseball, created a sensation in baseball
circles here today.
A man Of prominence in big league
baseball is authority for the announce
mept. He frankly admits that he has
no proof, but says ne is convinced that
the hand Of the big league president is
discernible in the behgerent attitude Of
the American Association
The belief that the American Associa-
ton viii revolt this winter and repudiate
the national agreement is very strong
among men who are familiar with base
ball affairs. and most of them seem to
hold the same view as the magnate
who gave out the alarming statement
that the idea Of invading Chicago with
an outlaw league club was born IN Ban
Johnson head.
Must Be Sure Of Position.
"Cantiuon and Tebeau would not take
their present stand unless they knew
exactly where they stood, >" Is the way
the magnate put it. THEY must have
some assurance that they will be in a
position to make a strong fight when
they enter Chicago, and there could be
no more fertile field for a big club than
this city is now.
In spite of the fact that he rules the
league with nand Of steel, there is
anything but harmony in the Organiza-
ton. COmiskey and Johnson nave not
been friends for years. and the Stahl in
cident last season was the final straw.
There is a feud between them now that
viii never be healed.
Comiskey StiI Rebels.
"Comiskey is planning TO do all in his
power to detnrone the big car, and it
looks 90 me as If Johnson would be
willing 10 be ousted. He is one OF the
shrewdest men in baseball, and he would
be the one man shrewd enough to see
the possibilities that lie in a revolt OF
the American Association.
The big North Side here is practically
an unWOrked field Of baseball profit tt
is far from either park and is non
partisan 1t would take to a new big
league club in Jiffy, and especially tne
kind of a club that Johnson would be
