STREET DENIES
WASHINGTON QUIT

Charley Street. the clever catcher oil
the Washington team. claims that
Washington did not lie down to De-
troit-that the senators played as hard
against the Tigers as they did against
the Maps. but that luck always broke
against them.
Here is the way Street sizes up the
situation that has caused SO much
comment:
Ever since the championship sea-
son closed | have read articles In the
papers insinuating that we pulled to
Detroit in the last series we played
there. and I think IL time for some one
on the team TO show how absurd such
charges are.
Had we lost all three games In
Cleveland before going TO Detroit no
such charges would ever have been
made. But we won in Cleveland and
lost In Detroit, and that fact seems to
have started trouble. We won In
Cleveland because things broke our
way. We had all the luck. We made
hits when they did the most good. and
our errors we're, never costly. Our
pitchers did wonderful work, and we
all seemed to be going fine.
when we struck Detroit Just the
opposite was the case. We could do
nothing right against the Tigers, and
yet we played just as we'll and as hard
as we did In Cleveland. We could not
get hit when we wanted II, and our
hits did not come at the right time.
Detroit had all the luck, and that re-
ally explains our defeats.
you know, we were lucky against

BAIRD FINISHING
UP At MICHIGAN

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov o.
Though not yet formally announced II
Is believed locally that Charles Baird.
graduate manager OF the Michigan
Athletic association, will not return to
take charge OF the university's affairs
again, at the conclusion of his work
attendant on the present football sea-
son. Mr.. Baird has extensive interests
in the west where Mrs. Baird's prop
erty is located and his presence Is de-
manded there.
AS compromise IL has been sug-
gested that Mr.. Baird retain the title
next year, allowing the work to be at
tended TO by an assistant except for
the two weeks preceding and follow
ing the big game here. This plan, 1t
Is urged, would be feasible In the fact
that Mr.. Baird has so systematized
the work of his department that, ex-
cept in emergencies, IL virtually runs

The Detroit Athletic club has decid.
ed TO place no team In the Associated
Basketball league this year and the
Organization is forced to look for an.
other member. The players on the
club team decided that they did not

sure OF getting him we'll down the

this play which enabled Pennsylvania
To work its scoring machine TO the
utmost against Michigan. II was

or course the end-running must be
combined with enough OF the other
game TO keep the enemy guessing. A
forward pass or a short kick now and
then must keep the hostile secondary
defense well back and forward pass
is an excellent method OF helping to
this end.
"Fooi them, then run the ends" Is
the most successful scheme Of football
offense these days, according to the
results OF the big games Of the year.
But even this statement does no:
really narrow the situation down to
the one most successful play. End
running is OF so many types that II is
possible to carry the elimination still
