PREPS WIN FIRST GAME.
Western High Falls Before Heavier
Rivals in Stubborn Battle

The beef OF the Georgetown Props was
the main factor of their victory yesterday
over the game but lighter team wearing
the red ard white of Western High
School. The battle was stubbornIy fought
from start TO finish. and although the
embryo colleGianS always were sure Of
of the victory. Yet az one time the high
school lads Were dangerously near to
their goal line. The final score was Ito
in favor of the Props.
Miller who played fuiloack for the
victors, time and again showed his DO
pounds OF avoirdupois through Western 6
line for long gains. while his team-mate
Golden, kept himself in the limeight by
his long and speedy end runs. The Props
We're somewhat crippled, nasmuch as

side lines nursing injured ankles. 1t is

ouSly TO his playing, ard because OF this
he has decided tn lay aside Ills nuleskIs

JENNINGS PRAISES
HIS PLAYERS HIGHLY

BOSTON, October 2.-Hughey Jennings
in long interview handed out in Boston
last night on how the Detroits won their
third consecutive pennant, does not forget
to bring to mind the many jolts the Ath
letics handed his Tigers during the sea-
son. That successful team pays, and
pays we'll is shown by the statement
given by Jennings when he says that the
champions played TO over a million people
this season. Jennings statement is as
follows:
We won the pennant more easily than
I expected we would We won because
We got the men We needed to strengthen
our club. With Schaeffer and RoSsnnan
gone to the bad. we found in Delehanty
and Jones just the men we wanted. Then
Moriarty proved to be a splendid man for
US, and Stanage did some fine hitting for
us. We were well provided against every
contingency, and when We found that Nc
Intyre was not batting strongly We
switched to Davy Jones, who was right
there with the goods. Then I must not
forget Bush. who has helped us a whole
lot, and to my mind is the star of the
American League.
Our men have never let up. but played
to the limit all the time. Every club will
have its ups and downs i'll season. un-
less it Is especially lucky. and We had
ours. We had a bad eastern trip. but We
played AL tne haFder thereafter, ana our
last stand at home and fast work after
leaving Philadelphia showed the stuff Of
which we were made. Our pitchers, too.
have done good work. and I am confident
they Will stand the gaff in the series for
the worlds pennant
we found the Athletics our hardest
nut to crack, and things broke badly for
us in our two visits to Philadelphia.
From a financial standpoint We had the
most successful season we have ever had
since the club was formed. We played
to over million people,

derf,Il game at short his one-handed
stops being extremely sensational, while
his throwing was of the best. During
the past two weeks Mac has played the
greatest shortstop ever seen on the local
field, and recalls the palmy days when
Joe Cassidy first joined the Washingtons
Joe wasn't as graceful Mac. but he
was greater "stretcher. and he may
have had shade the best of it on the
present man on the plays to the left On
the risht-hand side Mac is better than
was Joe. All that can be hoped for is
that Gorgeous George will return next
season as good as he has been this year
The Washington club will always have
a great friend and ally in Joe Cantillon.
There will be nothing doing through the
western country in the way of young
players developing that will not be tipped
off to McAeer by Joe, and the Minneap-
oils club Will continue to be a close run
ming mate to the Nationals, as heretofore.
Before leaving last night Joe said that
he had been treated SO we'll here that
there was nothing in tie world he would
not do for the directors and manager of
the Washington club.
Little Willie F,lberfeld. about seven
years DID, was out at the park yesterday,
and amused the players greatly with his
quaint remarks. He is certainly chip
off the old block When he first spied
Cantilon Willie walked up to him like
bantam rooster. and said: Mr. Cantillon,
have friend with me outside. Can
you let me have pass for him? Joe
replied, with a serious face, Certainly.
Willie; anything I can do for an Eiher
field l will be happy to do" The little
fellow took the pass as if it was due
him. and stru ted off the grounds to hunt
up his pal. Joe turned to the players on
the bench. and said: Can you beat it?''
And all Joined in hearty laugh.
The action of the local club in buying
Doc" Reislings release from York, as
told in another column, is wise one and
a splendid investment. But for the fact
that a majority of the managers believe
Reisllng is an old man and on the Wane
his release would have brought several
thousand dollars. Doc is only thirty
two and good for many more years Of
base ball. He will be better than ever
next season. as he won't have to work
as hard as he has in the past summer.
With Johnson, Reisling, Walker, Groom,
Gray and Witherup. the local pitching
outfit should be very strong next season.
