.LLOYDS ARE ANXIOUS
TO INSURE PLAYERS
London Firm Will Indemnify
Club Owners for Accidents
to Stars.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CINCINNATI. Ohio September H.
That the Lloyds Of London, who control
one of the largest insurance companies In
the world, have decided that they will try
| to get bit Of business from the men who
are promoting the all-star series of base
ball games is evidenced from telegram
which has been received in Cincinnati
from them by d. a. Fletcher, who says
he will take two teams from the major
leagues on tour this fall. including st.
Louis players. The Lloyds say they will
insure the players he will use to indem-
nifty the club owners of the National and
American leagues. and name a price
which is considered very low by Mr..
Fletcher. He says that he will have the
men insured that they may return to
their clubs next year unless they wish to
join his league, which will probably be In
operation at that time.
The Lloyds are we'll known to Amer.
leans through the several unusually large
policies which they have written for
American theatrical and sporting people.
Before the recent Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight they insured both principals. and
they have, Also policies on the hands OF
Kubelik. PadereMski and other people
who are renowned in the world of enter
tainment. So far the prize fighters have
been about the only American sportsmen
to take out these policies. and the coming
into the field of base ball by the Lloyds
will be q new field of venture by that
firm.
This Is strong argument for the six
month contract. which will probably be
the chief thing for which the new Ma
tional Base Ball Brotherhood will con-
tend when it is formed after the season
ends The magnates have all along
argued that they do not want to allow
their players to take part In any other
sport during the winter months because
they fear that their players might be
injured But if this insurance is guaran-
teed them they can allow their players to
do whatever they like during the winter
Then, II the players are injured, they
will receive a big prize for their injuries
Mr.. Fletcher says he Will use the Lloyds
when his new league starts, and that he
will allow his players to do whatever they
wish as soon as the base ball season ends.
He says that he has more than $3.OOO.U0O
promised him for this league, and that
he can get the best players in both the
National and American leagues by CIV
ing them higher wages and more liberties
than are now afforded the players. He
says that Hans Wagner will manage MS
Pittsburg club.

WARM WEATHER HARD
ON FOOT BALL BOYS
Blue and Gray Go Through
Snappy Scrimmage Re-
CARELESS of Heat.

Despite the Oppressive heat Of yester-
day afternoon the Georgetown University
foot ball team went through a very tedi-
Gus practice. ending their work with a
snappy ten-minute scrimmage. The early
part of the afternoon was given over to
signal work. during which Coach Nielsen
perfected many of his formations.
The scrimmage was divided into three
periods of three minutes each. In the
first period the varsity made touch
down, but no other scoring was done.
The touchdown was the result of some
brilliant broken field running on the part
of Dunn. who showed up yesterday bet
ter than ever before.
Although every mar out was used at
one time or another in the course of the
practice battle. the way the varsity lined
up gave for the 1irst time some indica-
ton Of the men on whom Nielsen is
counting for his team. Cunniff started
the encounter at center with Capt. Daley
and Fitzgerald, guards; Feenan and Wy
mard, tackles, and Carter and Hegarty,
ends. Later Feenan took Cunniff's place
at center. Kerwin substituted for Daley
and Stohlman went in at left tackle. Sit
terding and Costello alternated at quar-
ter. while Fury played right half. with
Dunn filling left. Kraft and Vlymen
were tried out at full.
Bryant, the big tackle, was kept out of
the scrimmage by a slight injury to his
ankle which he received in practice the
day before. A number Of other good men
were also absent, many Of them being
excused on account Of slight indisposi-
lions due to the oppressive heat Of the
last three or four days.
Last evening Coach Nielsen inaugurated
his evening quizzes. the candidates assem-
bling in one Of the college classrooms
and being questioned about the rules and
signals. The questions were enhanced by
short remarks by the coach in regard to
points which did not seem quite clear.
After the Quizzing, each man had line
up of beans and ran through the signals
with the aid Of these, the plays being
called out by one of the quarterbacks.
The arrival of King yesterday greatly
strengthened the quarterback department,
there now being no less than five striving
for that position. King has played quarter
for three years at Springfield High School
In Massachusetts. While there he showed
excellent judgment, doing so we'll last fall
that some OF the New England critics
picked him for the all-eastern scholastic
eleven.
AS yet Manager Joliet has not secured
a game for Saturday. He Is still working
on the matter. however, so that the Hill
toppers have not as yet lost hope Of see
ing their eleven in action this week.

HAVE LARGEST SQUAD
IN SCHOOL s HISTORY
Will Rely Solely on Old Time
Foot Ball For Gains in
Early Games.

George Washington inaugurated the last
week of preliminary practice yesterday
Ny going through two hours of the hard
est work of the season. No scrimmagins
was done, the coach preferring to have
the men become thoroughly familiar with
the plays and signals. The backs are
adapting themselves to the new methods
of play very readily.
The lineup was very little changed
from previous ones. Wiley was In at
fuiiback. while Johnson held down the
end position Porter was directing the
PLAYS. Herb White ran through the sis-
mails with the second team, and 1t is more
than likely that he will be shffted TO the
varsity in a day or two.
The largest squad of th>A year was on
the field. Thirty-eight caiNtdates were
in uniform, and two elevens ran through
an hours signal practice. 1t is doubtful
II Hatchetites ever had as large squad
in toys before. Farmer, last years ruiz
back, was out and followed the first team
as II ran through signals. He will probao-
ly be used today in his old position. Pyies.
q new man, who reported for the hrst
time showed up we'll. Tack1ng sure anu
hard, and handling himself like veteran,
he showed that he has mad quite it'ie
experience in the game
Plenty of good men are out for the Bun
and Blue line, but backf1eld material Is
very scarce. Crafts is the only man who
has shown much real class back OF the
line. II a good. fast running mate for him
could be found things would look mucf
brighter, but as it is he is much too fas'
for the other backs. While the quarter
back problem has been solved, 1t seems
that the right half and fullback positions
are more of an enigma than ever
Coach Magofiin intends to rely solely or

game Saturday. No forward pass plays
have as vet been given to the team. 1t II

Cleveland Will Be Only Major
League Team Without Such.

Cleveland will probably be the only
American League club that will not have
a "spit' ball artist among its pitching
stan. and McGuire's corps Of fingers is
not a small one at that.
A few years ago, when the club trained
at Macon, there were more sp1tters than
anything else among the Cleveland pitch
ers. baltimore was a southpaw who was
married to vapor slants, while Chech
swore by his dry splitter" Berger
thought the wet goods the best he had to
deliver. Rhoades and Hess also dallied
with 1t more than little. while Liebhardt
would no more have thought OF pitching
without using the splitter" than he would
have of jumping the club to sign with the
Twilight Leaguers.

trees, at his farm in the Sioux

William has been studying the

that there is no better place than

that direction and that he ex-

Should Organize

There has been a good deal of
talk the past week over organic
ing a base ball club for this city
and undoubtedly some action
will be taken in the matter with
in a very short time. Ashland,
Bayfield, and Odanah are all or
ganizing teams and Washburn
should get in line and also form
a club. There are enough base
ball enthusiasts in the city to
keep good club up and while
the enthusiasm is running high
some one should take hold of the
project and organize team. No
time should be wasted as it will
soon be time to start the ball
rolling. A club keeps up the
life in the city and furnishes
good clean amusement, By all
means lets have q good base
