NO WAR IN GOLF.
Strawn Makes Appeal for Harmo-
Nous Relations.

II begins to look as IL the threatened
war and talk OF rebellion on the part or
the Western Golf Association against the
United States Golf Association had rolled
away. Silas H. Strawn Of Chicago. for

Strawn declares that no official attempt
was made by the parent body to keep
any player or team from competing III
the Olympic cup tournament. He also
urges that while just criticism may have
been made in the past over the manner
OF selecting the officers and executive
committee of the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION. that cause was entirely re-
moved by the amendments to article
of the constitution. which provide that
at the annual meeting of the association
a nominating committee shall be chosen
which shall select officers and an ex-
ecutive committee for the succeeding
year: also. that If the nominees Of the
committee thus selected be not satisfac-
tory to five or more clubs, other tickets
may be put In nomination.
Strawn then finishes his remarks with
the following appeal for good fellowship
and harmonious relations:

MAY ABOLISH FOOT BALL.
Many Say Death of Wilson Would
Put End to Game at Academy.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, October 22.-The
seriousness of the condition of Midship-
man Earl D. Wilson of Covington, KY.
quarterback of the Navy foot ball team,
who sustained a probably fatal injury in
the game against Villanova College last
Saturday. has raised the question as to
whether or not foot ball will be abolished
at the Naval Academy in the event of the
young mans death. There are many per-
sons who believe that the death of Will
son would put an end to the game at the
academy, considering that 1t is govern
ment institution, and the fact that it is
the first time that student has been SO
severely injured at either the Naval or
Military Academy.
Officials of the academy were asked
about the matter, and replied that while
the injury to young Wilson is deeply de-
plored on all sides, there is at present no
indication that a fatal termination of the
case would put an end to the game. The
view is taken that an injury of serious
and perhaps fatal results is just as apt
to occur at the Naval Academy as at
other institutions throughout the country.
The condition of young Wilson is I'M
changed, and practically no hope is en-
tertained for his recovery. 1t is possible
tnat ne may survive IOF some TIME,
though he will probably be a helpless
paralytic. In spite of the severity Of his
affection he still continues In his usual
happy frame Of mind. and frequently con-
verses with his attendants. He often asks
how the foot ball team is getting along.
The only possible chance of his recovery
depends upon the healing Of the allesion
Of the spinal cord SO as to permit an OPP

sympathy for the misfortune that has
overtaken young Wilson. through their

graphed Lieut.. Frank D. Berrien, head
coach Of the Navy eleven. extending con-
dolences and stating that flowers had

VICTORY FOR GALLAUDET.
Mutes Shut Out Central High in
Well Played Game.

Scoring q touchdown after but few
minutes of play, the Galiaudet foot ball
team secured another later in the game
and thus took the practice game from
the Central High School team yesterday
afternoon at Kendall Green by a score Of
II to o.
The first score was made after four
minutes of play. Central had fumbled
on her 4O-yard line, when Gallaudet Sc
cured the ball and by a series of line
plunges and end runs wound up by Mosey
being showed over the line. Rockwell
kicked the goal
Central only threatened the Mutes' goal
on one occasion. when they had the ball
on the 2J-yard line and attempted field
goal, but the ball went wide of the mark.
Rockwell made the longest run of the
game when he got around end for 30
yards. Neis. the reserves tackle. was
tried out at fullback on the regular team
and showed UP well. Battiste. the In
dian, was at the quarterback position.

Oyster Market Well Supplied.

sand bushels Of oysters aboard are ly-
Ing at the oyster wharf today, having
been brought into port since Wednesday

rival places an abundant supply OF the
biyalves on the market at prices ranging
from 40 cents to 20 cents per bushel for

mouth of the river, but three small
vessels at the wharf have aboard POGO
moke stock from the eastern shore of
Chesapeak bay. While the size OF the
Potomac oyster is small. its quality is ex-

PHILLlES' OWNERS
TO MEET JENNINGS

PHILADELPHIA. October 22.-Unless
Hughey Jennings comes to terms with
the Detroit club management before he
leaves that city for the east there is a
possibility that the management OF the
Phillies will be successful in signing the
Tigers leader to a contract for the salary
of $4,000 year. which, 1t Is said, Jen-
nings demands.
Jennings il expected here next week
and it is likely that he will meet the
owners of the Philadelphia club and talk
business with them. The club owners
want Jennings, and are willing to pay
him his price If they can get him. His
contract with the Detroit club has ex-
pired. and so far the American League
club owners have not stated what salary
they have agreed to pay him. .
1t is reported that President Navin of
Detroit has been figuring on $4,000 as
Jennings salary, basing this on the SAL
airy being paid Jimmy McAleer by the
Washington clur. McAleer will not only
manage Washington. but will attend to
all the business and other matters. while
Jennings has nothing to do but to take
charge Of the team on the spring training
trip and during the regular playing
season
II Detroit is not willing to pay Jen-
nings a salary of $4,000 year, the Phil
lies owners are. and if it is question of
price. Jennings will very likely be seen
in charge of the local National League
club next season. The Detroit club will
probably make known it's offer before
Jennings leaves that city, and if it is not
satisfactory the Philiies' management will
be ready to close with him when he
reaches this city next week.
There is still persistent rumor a9oat
that Billy Murray will not be in charge of
the Phillies next season. even If Jen-
nings is not secured. 1t is said the local
club owners are ready and willing to do
the right thing by Murray and make
good his salary for next year. which is
coming to him under the terms of his
contract. There was report that an ef-
fort was being made TO secure Murray
for Detroit, in case Jennings came here.
but unless Jennings remains, Bill DOno-
van will very likely lead the Tigers next
season.

GOOD GAME PROMISED.

George Washington and Maryland
Aggies Clash Tomorrow Afternoon.
George Washington plays Maryland Ag-
giles tomorrow afternoon at the American
League Park In the annual game between
these two institutions.
For several years these teams have been
rivals. Two years ago the Aggies trim
med the Hatchetites by the score of 1910.
but last year George Washington got
back at them with all four feet and the
result was a score of about 60 to o.
For the past week Dougherty, with the
aid Of several other coaches, has been
drilling his charges with the open game
and a number of good trick plays have
resulted. Considerable trouble seems to
be found this year in the development Of
a good fullback. Several men have been
tried. but all seem to fall short of the
requirements Of that position. Hooten is
the best man for the place. however, and
will without doubt be found there tomor-
row afternoon. Ellis and Crafts will
start the game tomorrow at half. and as
they have worked together for two years
some good interference and end running
should result. Morse will be found at
quarter, where he is playing very good
game.
The line will be about the same as last
Saturday, with the exception of shift
of Echof to guard and putting of Brandt
In at center. Fowler is playing very
good game at left guard and breaks
through in the scrimmage in good style.
Aston and Hart are towers Of strength
in the cross tackle plays and nothing
seems to be able to stop them.
| What showed up very prominently In
| last Saturdays game was the poor de-
| Tense the team had ainst foot ball as
| played under the new rules. Time and
! again one Washington College man would
stand to receive forward pass directly
| in the midst OF group of Hatchetites.
| and he would get it every time without
any trouble, as the Hatchetites seemed to
! think he had perfect right to catch 1t
without being interfered with This has
disappeared entirely, and tomorrow II any
| forward passes are tried by the Agg1es
| the man receiving the ball Is not going to
| be treated with much courtesy. Johnson
Is showing up finely at end and Hamlin
seems to he a real find. He Is fast and
| handles the forward pass in great shape.
| Whiting is also playing good game at
| end and Johnny Brookes is still on the
| job, so it goes without saying that there
| will be little trouble in the end positions
| for the rest of the season.
Dougherty has spent considerable time
| In working up good Interference on the
| end runs. Neither Crafts nor Ellis 80 far
| has had a chance to get started ON
| long run, as each has been caught before
| he got started. Last Saturday the inter
ference was Woefully weak. This can
| we'll be understood. however, as Dough-
| erty has hardly had the same backfield on
| the gridiron two nights in succession,
which is a serious handicap to any team.
| The lineup announced for tomorrows
-, game is: johnson, left end; Hart. left
tackle; Fowler, left guard; Brandt. cen
ter; Eichof. right guard: Aston. right
| tackle: Whiting, right end: Morse, quar-
| terback: Ellis, right halfback; Crafts,
left halfback; Hooten. fulback.

Secret Drill for Pennsy.

PHILADELPHIA. October 22.-Prepa-
ration for the State College game tomor-
row was continued by the University Of
Pennsylvania coaches yesterday after
noon, who ordered another secret prac-
tice. Secret drills have now become so
common that the students never attempt
to get on the field any more to watch the
work.
Capt. Miller was on the end once more
and Thayer played at quarterback. The
coaches appear to be playing battledore
and shuttlecock with Miller. In the four
drills this week he has been at end for
two days and quarterback for two days,
while Saturday against Brown he played
at >haf<back.
%The Red and Blue coaches have aban-
toned all hope Of using Hutchinson at
fullback tomorrow. Ramsdell may be

is concerned. but Hutchinson's ability
with the onside kick cannot be equaled
by any, other man on the squad. If the
team wins by one touchdown the coaches
will be satisfied.
