pose Eastern High tomorrow afternoon
at American League Park at 2:46. Jim

the limit in order to beat them. Gen.
trail has also been working hard. and will
be satisfied with nothing but victory.
for If the o street boys win this game
they will split even on the series. Coach
Taylor is positive he has strengthened
his back field considerably by playing H.
Rollins at right half position which
has not been capably filled this year.
Although this game will not affect the
standing Of the leading teams. neverthe-
less it will be an interesting fray to
witness, as it will be hard fought from
start to finish: AS far as known now
the Capitol Hill boys will present the
line up they have used in their former
same lineup they have used in their for
mer games. and the two teams will be as
follows.

CHICAGO, H.. November 1:.-Eastern
League and American Association repre-
sentatives caused sensation at the an
nual meeting of the National Association
OF Professional Base Ball Clubs in this
city yesterday by withdrawing from the
session. The two boiling factions had
presented a resolution asking that they
be given control OF the national board of
arbitration and that the Western and
Southern leagues be reduced from class
a to class b.
This resolution was voted down by the
meeting. and President O'Brien Of the
association then petitioned for tile Ameri-
can Association and the Eastern League
to withdraw from the National Associa-
with the American League and the Ma
ment.
The petitioners insisted upon immediate
action, and when their petition was over

Crafts causes the followers of the team
the chief dismay. as Coach Nielsen has
expressed some doubt as to whether this
able halfback will be in shape to enter
the game. His body is still covered with
bruises received last Saturday and he is
suffering from a wrenched back which
caused his retirement from the Washing
ton and Lee game. However. the great
halfback is anxious to get in the game,
and Nielsen has only to say the word
and he will be in the fray, injuries or no
injuries. While Metsker and Byrd are
both suffering from injuries to their legs
and knees, there is no doubt but that they
will both be In the game Saturday with
bells on.
A number Of students will accompany
the team and carry with them a supply of
cash with which to back the eleven. Word
has been received from Blacksburg that
the Virginians have raised 500 to place
on the game. so there will undoubtedly be
some brisk betting in evidence on the side
lines previous to the battle. On account
of the great interest in the game Satur-

beautifully together, showing extraordi-

ment team outweighed them considerably,
but were not fast enough to stop their
onslaughts. Those who witnessed the

that the Blue and Gray youngsters would
make Tech go some to win from them
and some were willing to bet that the
Props could trim the Blacksmiths by at

AS yet no game has been arranged be-

an agreement can be reached, for such a
