GAELIC FOOT BALL.
First Division Defeated Second in
Hibernian Contest.

There was a battle royal at Capital
City Park. LIST and NJ streets northeast.
yesterday afternoon. when teams repre-
senting Divisions l and of the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians Of the District Of
Columbia played a game of Gaelic foot
ball The score was 10 to Z, In favor of
Division No. I.
There was not moment during the
two thirty-minute halves when the spec
tators were not enthusiastic over the
play. 1t was holly contested throughout.
Not a single unpleasant circumstance
married the game. 1t was originally in
tended that the game should take place
on the first day of the Irish fair and field
days held at Benning. but was omitted
owing to the fact that a large number Of
foOtballists were entered in the field and
track events. So great was the interest
in yesterdays contest that Immediately
after tine game formative steps were
taken to keep the two teams in exist
ence, that other games may be played
before the season closes. A challenge to
Baltimore Hibernians is in prospect. 1t
Is the ambition of those prominent in
the order to organize a league among the
seven divisions of the order.
a tendency has been making itself man.
ifest for some time among the members
to develop an athletic side to the organi-

young men of the A. .. H., and it Is
the expectation that before the winter is
past active steps will be taken to this
end.
1t is even possible that steps may be
taken for the organization of an athletic
club, that a house may be secured with
a large field In connection Herewith.

Wisconsin Team Increases Interest
in the Game.

TOXIC. October 2J.-The team of Wis
consin University base ball players now
visiting in Japan has made an extremely
favorable impression and increased inter-
est in the game here. The attendance
throughout the series played upon the
Keio University grounds has averaged be-
tween eight thousand and ten thousand
persons Wisconsin and I\eio are fairly
evenly matched and the struggle has been
nip and tuck from start to finish.
So keen has the interest in base ball
been found to be that there is now talk
of the organization of national base ball
league in Japan, the establishment oil
grounds at Toxic, Osaka and other places.
and the playing of regularly scheduled
contests. with an increase in the number
of international games.
The Improvement of the game through
out japan is remarkable. The Wisconsin
men have been treated with marked con-
sideration by the Japanese. and have been
the guests of Count Okuma at his beauti-
full place at Waseda University. where
they were entertained at luncheon. The
professor in charge and the senior mem
bers of the team have been the guests of
Baron Gotto. the minister of communica-
ton: P. A. Jay, the American charge

full luck that has always attended her

Gov a Wonder.
The Yale offense got going in great
shape in the Colgate game. Coy showed
up in a new capacity. and one wonders
OF what more this versatile youth is
capable. He dropped goals from the
field from the ~ and the 80 yard lines,
which should have made Harvard men
present sit up and take notice. Not since
Bulls time. excepting Sharpe. has Yale
had really frst-class drop-kicker.
Granted the fact that the Yale attack
is always all it should be in ingenuity,
strength and trickery at the time when
this strength must be displayed to the
full tthat is, against Princeton and Har-
vard). 1t seems almost cruel for Yale
now to embark in new and hitherto UNI
trodden fields the more to harass her
foot ball foes.
Just let the average foot ball game at
tendant ponder the shrewd Yale offense.
and then let him consider what the full
import is of having added to it a really
reliable field goal maker.
Versatile Tigers
Princeton's team this year has, by
coaches and public alike, frequently been
called versatile. II the Orange and
Black showing OF last Saturday demon
strated any of this quality it is of the
kind in which Yale is going to delight
and revel The mere fact that Lafayette
was lucky enough to win on blocked

of his secondary defense for that specific
blocking purpose was most capabiy eN-
not worry the wearers and
adherents' colors. That is by no means
important. although of course, no eleven
likes to be defeated by a sO-called minor
college.
But Princeton's apparently stern and
Jealous adherence to the same old meth
DDS that have cost her many an otherwise

scoring attack too far down the field so
as to leave the team almost exhausted
at the very moment when its full strength
was vitality necessary. the formation OF
and end-running combina-
tons so close to the line that they were
easily smeared before they got started,
the brilliancy of individual effort and the
total absence of any such thing as COM
pact interference and organized team

FREsHIEs TO PLAY PLEBEs
Game Has Been Arranged Between
Georgetown and Navy Elevens.

Following the example set by last
years freshman oarsmen. the Blue and
Gray first-year sridiron men this fall
have undertaken to institute freshmen
contests in that department. and with
this end in view 4 contest has already
been arranged with the Navy plebes, to
take place in Annapolis November 20.
Manager Graham Of the locals and Man
ager Cusach Of the Sailors came to an
agreement for the battle yesterday, al
though there is still possible chance
that the date may be altered to a week
later.
The meeting Of these two elevens will
lead to the Blue and Gray varsity ac-
cepting bid to play the Navy next fall.
Contests this season have demonstrated
that such battle would be interesting as
we'll as spirited. and at the same time
a great deal Of expense would be e!imi-
mated by both schools on account OF their
proximity to each other.
But the game between the local fresh
men and the plebes will also attract con-
siderable attention on account of another
and probably a more vital reason. 1t
has been stated at Georgetown that the
class Of 1913 contains three or four star
pigskin warriors who will next season
become regular members of the varsity.
THESE men all showed up well in the re-
cent interclass contest in which the fresh
les trimmed the sophomores. sand it is
though that it is only matter Of devel-
opment before they become stars. The
same has been said OF some of the Navy
plebes. so that close observer Of a
battle between the two e,evens could
probably gain quite lot of information
on the chances for the coming varsity
teams Of both schools to show Increased
strength.
From the little dope at hand concern
ing the make-ups of the two elevens that
are to meet next month, It is really a
conundrum to find out which is the
stronger. Because Of this the game will
create considerable speculation. and. at
the same time, 1t will call more atten-
ton to the work of the individuals. The
Navy plebes have already begun training
for the event. and are said to be fast
rounding into shape. Beyond couple of
days work previous to the interclass
game. the local eleven has as yet. done
very little practicing. but, according to

SHEPPARD PEERLESS
At M|D-D|STANCE
In Great Race at Celtic Park
He Defeats the italian
Champion.

NEW YORK, October 15.--What little
doubt remained as to whether Melvin
Sheppard was the worlds greatest mid
distance runner was shattered yesterday
afternoon at the Monument Athletic
Clubs games at Celtic Park. In the
same brilliant way in which he corralled
the indoor honors a few weeks ago. lie
annexed the outdoor title yesterday.
Matched against all the country's cham
pions, and Emilio Lunghi, the distinguish
ed Italian champion and record-holder,
lie won the 1,OOO-yard run in easy style.
He finished with his old-time squirt, and
laid at rest for the year any suggestion
that he was a has BEEN.
He won by two yards. Lunghi was
second. and Abel Kiviat. the Staten Is
land schoolboy wonder, was third. Against
q strong wind and over an exceptionally
heavy track he travelled the distance
in 2.19 40.
Because of the brilliant victories scored
by Lunshi early in the year, while Shep-
pard was in poor condition, the mid
distance honors were in doubt. Those
who saw the Italian defeat his fields
time after time predicted that he would
prove to be Sheppard's master.
All Doubts Shattered.
Even when Sheppard defeated his field
in the indoor championships there still
remained a question as to the outdoor
championship, with the result that all
eyes in the athletic world awaited the re-
suit Of yesterdays race. Sheppard pre-
pared for this race. but because Of his
sudden shift from Philadelphia TO the
New York custom house, In which he
is employed. he was compelled to let up
in his training.
But even TINS did not seem to have
affected his speed. He had set out to
beat Lunghi, and was determined to do
so or quit the game. Lunghi was just
as anxious to score a victory III this
race as were Kiviat. Broniilow and Riley,
with the result that all the men toed
the mark in good condition.
= Quick to gain his stride young kiviat
was the first to show in front. He
sprinted away from the mark and round
ing the first turn led his field. Lunghi
was in second position. with Bromilow
third and Riley and Sheppard on even
terms fourth. For a lap kiviat main
tanned his position. Then Lunghi cha!-
lenged and with "a burst of speed took
