what is considered by all to be the

the Giants and Cubs are confident of
victory, and will line up the same as on

and Matthewson for New York. The
eyes of the whole country are riveted
on the game as indicated by widespread
applications for telegraph flashes of the

'It may seem incredible to those

Manning, Exploded Phenom.

Has Walter Manning. the youthful
pitching phenom of the New York
Americans. exploded or was he an
overrated youngster?
Manning was secured from Williams
port Pa. Of the Tri-State league and
made most impressive debut as big
Lacquer. He won the first five games
he worked. and critics hailed him as a
second Mathewsou. Since then his
work has only been fair having sui
fered defeat nearly every time out
According to many of the best batters,
Manning's early success was due more
to his peculiar delivery than to puz-
cling curves. They claimed as soon as
his delivery was solved base hits would
follow. and the scores of recent games
seem to bear out the contention.

was appointed and made an eXamina-

NAVY TEAM LOOKS
STRONG THIS YEAR
Unusually Large Squad of
Candidates.

Prospects for a good season for the
navy football are rosy. Only two OF
last years regulars are missing, and
the second string material ON hand is
SO promising that their absence will
hardly be felt. Dague and Douglass
are the men who will have to be re-
placed.
Unless some of the new candidates
show unexpected strength, Reifsnider,
who had some experience as an end
last year, will be used on the right
wing. and Jones. fullback last fall, will
be shifted to left half to I'LL the va
cancy left by Douglass. Upon Jones,
too. will fall the responsibility Of act
ing as the eleven's punter. He is real
~ a better kicker than Douglass as
regards both distance and accuracy.
but he has ever been slow in getting
the ball away. 1t is thought that this
fault will be remedied with practice.
There will be several shifts in the
positions of the rest Of last years men,
but the personnel of the team will be
practically the same. Leighton and
Robertson will be the tackles, fanktng
Meyer and Wright. No one has as yet
appeared who is likely to force Sling
luff out Of center. LANCE is slated for
quarter. Captain Norcroft looks best
for full, and Demont, who, although he
is Just recovering from a mild attack

Left half is still in doubt.
The team will be heavier than last
year in every department. The line
men average about 1876 against 100 a
year ago, and the backs will scale
close to Its, ten pounds over last falls
figures.
The middies will leave their own

ton Of the annual contest with West
