IS WIZARD BROWN
MATHIS HOODOO?
Giants Great TwirleT Has Not Won
Game Against Mordecai
Since 1905.

NEW YORK. oct 9.--The defeat OF
the Giants by the Cubs in the pennant
game yesterday has caused many 70
ask Is Wizard Brown Matty's hoOdOO?
The Giants great twirler has not won
a game from Chicago when Brown op-
posed him since June i. 1865 on that
day Matty established a record for
the year. While twlrlinE against the
miner he shut the Cubs out without tie
sembIauce of hit. Since then the
three-hngered marvel has had the bet
ter OF every argument he has engaged
IN with MatJy. Luck has many times
played prominent figure IN the Chica-
goan's victory, but never once since
that eventful day has Dame Fortune
smiled upon Big Six when he Is
piJted against Brown.
No matter what kind Of a game Mat
ty pitches against the CUBS. no matter
how small the amount Of hits the Cubs
get of him, and no matter how hard
the Giants are hitting MOrdeCai. there
has always been some mysterious eIe-
ment that makes the three-fugered
freak emerge a victor over the Giants

GEORGETOWN READY
FOR BALTIMOREANS
West EnderS Have Some
New Plays for Medico
SkirmiSh.

GeorgetoHn's football squad took its
last scrimmage yesterday prior to the
game tomorrow with the strong BaIti-
more Medico team.
Reports have come from Baltimore
this week that the physicians have a
fast team and one liable to give the
Georgetown eleven a run for their
money. The local university is dubious
about the outcome and has been work
ing overtime the last three days. Coach
Newman put the men through a hard
two-hOurs' practice yesterday.
GeorgetoWn's play has improved con-
siderably in the pask week and the stu
dents count or seeing some new plays
tried tomorrow. Very little new foot
ball was attempted in the GallaudeJ
contest as the men had been together
but a few days before the game. The
squad has been thoroughly drilled IN
plays 10 be used the rest OF the season
and IL is probable that a number OF
these viii be tried out in tomorrow S
game. The lineup Of the Georgetown
team In tomOrrOWs game follows:

Nationals Round Out the Season
By Trimming the HghLanderS In
4 Game Marked BY MiSpLayS

Before about 1000 real fans-for
school children were admitted free 20
American League Park yesterday;
about /, 900 women-for yesterday was
by special decree a ladies day; and
maybe q thousand or two of the ordin-
airy run Of fans, the Nationals took the
last game Of the season from the Yam
KEGS. by 20 ;.
II that game on the day before was
Il farce. yesterday exhibition was a
burlesque- Errors were as abundant
as blackberrles at spring time, and
many OF them were of the most ridicu-
lous type. Perhaps the prize foolish
package was that pulled off BY Blair,
when, after Freeman had reached first
on a scratch single, the visiting catcher
tried 10 catch him stealing second. He
threw the ball far out OF anyone
reach, and Freeman came romDing
home.
Washington captured three runs in
the first, the Yankees annexed one
in the second, the Nationals chaIked
UP another in the third. and the visit
ors tied the score by tallying three in
the fourth. Each scored once in the
hfth-but what's the use? Every one
who was there laughed heartily, and
those who were not won't read about

Many Washington fans have watched
the work OF EdmOustOn with interest,
IN the hope that he might, like Free
man, pick up little major league ex-
perience as the season grew older.
He can hardly complain that he has
not had a IaIr tTy-Out. for even his most
ardent well-Wisners have been unable

clear TO put him in some OF those West
ern games when the team was going bad

His main fault seems to be extreme
nervousness, and until ne can overcome
that AltIZer complaint from which the
Nationals have already suffered TOO
much, he can hardly hope to stack up
with cOOl-headed veterans. This COM
plant Is all the more discouraging in
view OF the fact that the yOungster has
all the ear-marks Of a real ballpIayer.
II he continually slipped up on hard
chances, and this is the way CantiIlOn
doDes IL out. there would be little hope
Tor him But the fact that most of his
mlscues are OF the egregiOus kind that
bring forth nowl, but which Fielder
Jones, Milan, or any other star is
subject 10, lets in one ray Of promise
which he should foster by cuItiYatinE a
reasonable amount Of sangfroid-
For the sake Of precaution, it Is well
10 mention that this advice applies 10
this special case, and Is not intended for
I(rus COBB or Norman Elberfeld.
That double Of Shipkes helped not a
little. The Nationals did not need IT,
but ShipIIe did.
The little third-sacker presents an
oIher OF the pUzzlers that CantillOn
must solve before the opening OF next
season. and on the solution OF several
eniSmas such as this will depend the
position Of the Washington club next
year and CandllOns reputation as a
manager.
Whether Shiplke's classy fielding is
good enough TO Offset his poor batting
IS the question which is just now puz-
zilug the Washington manager and the
young man would simplify matters con
siderably ii he would suddenly begin 10

for the opening of the Worlds Series
In Detroit Saturday.
A bunch of clerks We're kept busy
making tickets. sorting reservations,
etc, and at 10 o'clock this morning the
first batch of reserved seat coupons
were placed on sale. Hardly had the
result of the New York-Chicago game
been announced when hired boys show

sitions in line
Many had an aH-night vigil Of it.
When the windows were opened this
morning a jam surrounded the office.
While this was tranSpiriEg on the out
side, the players were hurrying Though
side gates In order TO be free from
interruption, Manager Jennings issued
a decree allowing no one to watch the
Tigers practice These football methods
were not entirely approved by the root
ers, and many Of them tried TO climb
the fence, only TO be OuSted by the
park guard. The club is making ar
engagements to handle the largest crowd
in the history OF baseball here

capacity Of 1850, including the new
bIeachers, which seats 1900 souls, Will
