BIG GAME SUNDAY
Glee Club and Clintons Clash in Fast Amateur Contest at Lighthouse--Side Bet
 of $25.

One Of the hottest football contests of the gradually closing fottball sea son is scheduled for Sunday at Light house Point when the fast Glee club and Clinton elevens battle for what might terminate in strong claim for tho city amateur championship The records of both teams are of the best and one of the cleanest matches ot the season Is expected.
 The Glee club eleven has most en- viahle record having held their op- ponents down to a whitewash record thls season, Not only has tho op- .ponents of the Washington Glees failed to score against them this season but the strong local eleven has held that record for three years They blanked all their opponents fin the City league last year and will work hard to per- form likewise against the Cllntons Sunday.
 The Clinton football contingent on thegother hand, although not the own CTS of such brilliant record. still ex. pect to show the Glees in the coming big game.
 To- add interest to the Sunday con- test, a side bet of s25 has been made and both aggregations vii work hard to capture the purse.

FORTY-FOUR GIANTS.
McGraw to Risk Twenty-Five Players
 for Southern Trip.

New York. Nov. 5.--when Johnny McGraw announced a few days ago that he had forty-four players on his roster for next season he didn't moan that these men would start the season of 1909 with the Giants. Tho chances are that not moro than about twenty i've of tho forty-four will accompany the team to tho south next spring But there will be moro than twenty-four in that party, and this means that a lot moro young material will be corraled before the spring training starts, and all of this new material will not be madeup of untried youngsters and minor league players.
 McGraw says that the Giants next season will not be a two-pitcher team, There is great deal of significance in this statement. True, he banks whole lot on Marquard Durham and lCrandall to help out Mathewson and manager to start season with such staff. He knows this from experi- ence during the closing days of the 1908 pennant race. Just one more seasoned pitcher during the Cincinnati series last month would have landed | the pennant for the Giants.
 It can be stated with authoHty that next season the Giants will have at least one more seasoned pitcher to start with. The club had very pros porous season and is willing to spend $25,OOO for classy pitchers Who can tell but that deals are pending now?
 There Is another breech to fill in the ranks before another season rolls by. A high class left fielder and hitter is required And maybe there will be two changes in the outfield Seymour while good hitter, is not enough of an inside player to suit Mo- Graw. Seymour is naturally a good hitter, but a classy pitcher has little trouble getting the best of him.
 The infield looks strong enough. Penney Is expected to give good ser- vice another season. Second base is well guarded with Doyle and Herzog, and Bridwell Is good enough at short. There isn't any question about Devlin putting in another season at third.
 The catching department could stand a bit of strengthening. When Bres- nahan was compelled to lay off dur ing the closing days of the struggle, Needham was the only man available, and he hardly filled the bill.

 On the other hand, Cooper played a careful gas as his run of twenty balls will testify and the other cracks in the tournmaent will nave to watch him.

 Sure, I'm ready if they flush. But keep one eye on master,
 An see him stop their rush. Gee The twlgs snap back like sin, An that durned brier's dn the way. But it's a mean old dog to grin, When I've had no shot to-day. Steady old dog, he's running,
 Trying to dodge behind that pine; An old grouse Is mighty cunning, An this ones playing it fine, Whirr-- did you hear that thump? Fetch old dog, this is something like, He fell by that old white stump; Then come on old fellow let's hike.
