or her finger nails clipped cleaned,
,polshed-and fled. >sfi'
This order is mandatory and no ex-
cuse will be accepted for disobedience
except illness or other excuse which
the management shall deem to be rea-
sonable.
"A room has. been provided for the
manicure near the walters dressing
room, and she will be on duty from
$50 a. m. until p. m.

service, which tends to promote cleanll-

HATCHETiTES PLAY
WESTERN MARYL AND

tomorrow afternoon George Washing
ton lines up against Western Maryland at
American League Park, in the annual
gridiron contest between these two insti-
buttons, and it gives promise of being the
most closely contested game they have
ever played.
The team which Dougherty will put on
the field for this game is one which ap-
pears very formidable, and should be
able to roll up some kind Of a score. The
line is strong and heavy and full Of pep"
and the backfield has last years half
backs in it's makeup, Ellis and Crafts,
and as they have worked together SO
much and understand each others style
of play they should have little trouble
in reelIng off first downs Sheridan will
undoubtedly be in at fullback for this
game. He is strong and heavy and with
practice and coaching should develop into
a very good full. Tomorrow he will have
some fine opportunities to show what
kind Of line piunger he Is, as the Mary
land line is said to be anything but weak.
Morse will probably be found in the game
most of the time. He has been practic-
ing at quarter and half during the past
week and although it is his Tirst week.
he shows clearly that he is a star of the
place on the first team. and beng very
versatile, can be used at either end. half
or quarter.
Kelly Will start the game at quarter
and will work several of the trick plays
winch Dougnerty has been workIns up
during the past week. Kelly keeps the
men on their toes and is a good man him
self with the ball. The line will be about
the same as that in the Eastern game,
with Brant at center, Eichof and Bull
Tough at guard and Aston and Hart at
tackles. ONeil and Farmer will probably
play the end positions. ONeil has been

and the team this fall has been coached
under his direct supervision. Although
not much is known as to the weight and
ability of the eleven. nevertheless it is
pretty certain that formidable front
will be presented to the Hilltoppers. as
Thompson is a man that does not usually
give his time to caring for second-raters.
In preparation for hard tussle, the
West Enders went through an hour of
signal work yesterday and then lined up
against the reserves for twenty minutes
of scrimmaging. This practice scrap dis
played the fact that the eleven has i'm
proved much in speed since the CAL
laudet game and the teamwork also
showed that it had been benefited by the
polishing that has been given 1t by
Coach Newman. In the twenty minutes
no touchdowns were made but the varsity
showed itself much superior to the scrubs,
especially on the offensive.
The size of the squad was swelled by
the appearance Of half dozen new
candidates. some of whom should be able
to capture a regular position in the line
way. One of these was Reyes, the Y.
M. c. A. basket ball star, who is out
for halfback. The big fellow showed
great quickness in carrying the pigskin,
and with little experience he should
become a valuable man behind the line.
Another lad that made a favorable i'm
preston was Jamison, an ex-Holy Cross
prep quarterback, who has also done
some playing at Creighton University of
Omaha. Neb. He and Donnelly, who
halls from Mount st. Mary's, were both
showing up well on the ends when the
former was compelled to withdraw on
account of an injury received in a
tackle.
Then. too, some of last falls reserves

ceeded in landing place on the all
southern
lineup of the varsity since the Gallau-
det game, and 1t is believed that the
shifts have effected a stronger and bet
ter working combination. Cunniff has
been placed at center and Whiting at
left half. Fitzgerald and Daley still
hold down the guard places, with Wy
mard and Dunton playing tackles and

trying for the team now for two years.
and this year has developed into the
best end on the squad, and it Is a safe bet
that the boys from Westminster will be
able to get very few inches around him.
Farmer is very good on the defense, but
his handling of forward passes is pretty
ragged, so it may be that Morse will! play
at one of the extremities. For reserve
men in the backfleld there will be White,
who playd a star game against Eastern,
and Porter, while Hooten and Robinette
will be ready to go In at full. Fowler
will, without doubt, be given a chance to
show what he can do in the line, and
with his weight and strength the oppos-
ing backs will find him hard PROPOSE
ton to buck.
This is the third annual game between
these schools. Two years ago. in the first
game Of the season, Western Maryland
won by the score of IL to 0. Last year
Nelson got back at 1t by the tune of

This year the Maryland boys are deter
mined to wipe out the defeat of last year
by Cling the Hatchetites good drubbing,
and the Hatchetites are just as deter
mined to better their last years score, so
from the closeness Of the dope on both
teams and the intense rivalry existing be-
tween the two schools, game full of fire
and speed is sure to result.
The lineup to start the game Is an
nounced as Farmer, right end; Aston,

Brandt center; Eichof, left guard; Hart,
left tackle O'Neil, left end; Kelly, quar-
terback; Ellis, right half; Crafts, left half,

DECIDES FOR THE CUBS.
Protest Of Brooklyn Against Chicago
Not Allowed.

NEW YORK, October s.-President
Heydler of the National League has de-
cided against Brooklyn in the protest of
that club over the game played tn Chi
cago in Brooklyn September 3. This
game resulted in a victory for the Cubs
by score Of 10 to 4, eight of Chicago's
runs being scored in the ninth inning.
1t had been agreed between the man
ayers of the respective teams to stop
play at 5:15 o'clock. but the umpire's re-
port showed that the Brooklyn club had
adopted dilatory tactics when 1t was in
danger of being beaten.
President Heydler found merit In Brook
lyn's contention that the umpire in chief
should have called the game at 5:15
o'clock, but as the time of start ng the
game was half an hour later shan that
provided in the constitution, and as the
Brooklyn team also pursued tactics Of de-
lay, he did not feet justified in throwing
out the game and changing the standing
