Navy Men Fast IN the Mud.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. November 4.-The
midshipn!en proved themselves excellent
mudiarks yesterday afternoon, and ham
died the ball in good style during q
twenty-minute scrimmags in a field upon
which rain had been fall ng all day. There
was little practice outside of this, as
the coaches decided not to allow the
men to risk pneumonia by standing i'm
the cold rain which fell during the whole
practice period. There was not scoring,
but the general work of the team was
satisfactory. 80
A number of the players are suffering
from minor in uries. but the general con-
dition of the squad is much better than at
this time last year, and the comparative
rest of the last two days has done a num-
Der of the most reliable men great deal
of good. The regular tackles. Capt King
and Loftin, have both had bad sides
while King also has suffered with a badly
bruised face, but 1t is expected that they
will be in condition for tomorrows game

MURPHY TO JOIN F0GEL.
Cubs President Expected to Meet
Horace in New Orleans Today.
cioI Disnatch to The STAR

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, La November A.
Charles w. Murphy, president of the Chi
cago Cubs, is expected here this morn
ing. and 1t is said the object of his trip
is to consult with Horace Fogel, president
of the Philadelphia Nationals. who is al
ready here.
Just what the subject of their confer
ence is can only be conjectured, but it is
believed that it relates to the contro-
versy beween Fogel and Garry Herr
mann of the Cincinnati Reds over the
four players exchange. Murphy is said
to have stepped in and advised Fogel
against the trade after Manager Doom
of the Phillies had made the exchange
with Manager Griffith of the Reds The
exchange papers did not carry Fogers
signature. and Fogel claims that as presi-
dent of the club he Is the only one en-
powered to sign or release players. Herr
mann contends that Fogel had given his
consent to the real. Fogel and Murphy
are very friendly and closely related in
base ball interests.
AS Murphy is not believed to have a
business engagement with any local base
ball men. 1t is believed that he Is coming
here expressly to meet Fogel.
1t Is said that while here Murphy may
try to make arrangements for a spring
series between the Cubs and Athletics. He
has already made arrangements for the
Cubs to play spring games here. and the
Pelican club Is said to be trying to get
Manager Mack to bring his worlds cham
pions down here for spring training.
Murphy's second team played the Cleve-
land Maps last spring and was beaten.
In an interview last night President FO-
gel declared most emphatically that he
would stand pat on the Cincinnati deal,
and that he has blocked the Doom trade.
Everybody interested in base ball
knows how that deal or attempted deal
was sprung on me-" said Mr.. Fogel. If
Mr.. Hermann or the president of any
other club has any deals or trades to
offer the Philadelphia club am the only
one in authority to be approached upon
that subject"

NEW YORK, November 4.-Ban john

filed an answer to a suit for $4,000 dam
ages brought against him by John NJ
Ward in the federal courts. The suit is
the result of Wards unsuccessful CAM
paign for the presidency of the National
League last winter, and charges Johnson
with making statements over his sigma
ture in newspapers calculated to injure
Wards reputation as a lawyer.
In his reply Johnson denies that he
made or authorized the published inter-
views and statements, in which he was
made to say that Ward was "a trickster'
and person unfit to be elected to a base
ball Office. but he admits that he objected
to Wards election in private conversa-
ton with a member OF the national COM
mission. Ward regards Johnson's an
swer as a complete backdown, but he says
he will press the suit vigorously.

Will Bother Any Eleven.

Accurate kicking of this character,
which means something more than hap
hazard smash at the ball with the instep,
is likely to bother any eleven, and when
Yale meets Princeton there will be more
than usual interest i'm watching the de-
fense of the Ellis against Ballou, for II
one of those kicks gets away from a
Yale back, and the Princeton ends are on
their toes and following the ball like
hounds on the scent, there is certain TO
be trouble for somebody.
Meanwhile To those elevens which have
been deploring the absence of kicking In
this years game is commended the prog
ress which has been made both at Prince
ton and Dartmouth in making good punt
ing one of the best features of play.
There has been some talk in the west
that kicking Is a lost art i'm the new
game. 1t looks a little as If the western
foot ball contingent has been content to
believe that kicking is lost art. and 80
has not progressed very far in trying to
develop any. If the coaches of the west
ern teams really believe that good kick
ing plays no part in the game this fall
they should take enough time to travel
east and see what two of the best elevens
in this section are able to do with two
good punters.

Fine Work by Ballou.

Against the Indians on a wet field Bal
lou gave one of the most mastery exhibit
tons of kicking which has been seen this
season or any other. When Princeton
played Dartmouth Ballou had n dry field,
and once again proved his mastery of the
art of directing such an ungainiy ana
awkward shaped projeetile as foot ball
OF all the kicking which he did against
Dartmouth there was nothing Whlcn
caused the New Hampshire players more
worry and more scurrying around than
those swift drives over the line, in which
the arc described was low but extended.
The ball was propelled with such speed
that 1t was difficult matter to hold 1t
when a player did get 1t on the fly, and
task to try to recover it when it struck
the ground with half a dozen young men
swoOping down upon the defending player
like hungry crows upon corn Held
Ingersoll kicked with a reverse English
that turned the ball back when it struck
the ground. Woe be to Princeton man
who overran the ball il it CHANGED to pass
over his head. When he reached for It,
like the flea, it wasn't there. Ingersoll
showed great adaptability in cross-feld
kicking. With a motion which would In
dictate straight pnnt he shot the ball
at an acute angle to the left. 1t was a
deceiving play and bothered Princeton
more than once.

GOOD PUNTING AS DESIRABLE
AS EVER In NEW FOOT BALL
Princeton and Dartmouth Have Proved tn
Value of Kicking to a Purpose-Ballou
Keeps Opposing Team in Misery.
By John B. Foster.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 4.-Foot ball
wouldn't be foot ball if there were no
opportunity to say each season that no
team can hope to get along successfully
without good kicker. Years ago, when
there was no new foot ball. when the
rules were pretty much the same one
season after another. when there was
no forward pass, and when there were
such formations as turtle backs. wedges
and other plays with picturesquely de-
scriptive titles. it was as much the Gus
tom to urge the value of a good punter
as it is today, with the newer frills to
add speculative comment to the sport.
Hence the return to custom, which
has years to fortify 1t, by referring to the
value of good kicker this season.
From the time that the onside kick be-
came a foot ball asset the value of we'll
directed punting was established. Prior
to then direction had its share in punting.
but powerful kicking was esteemed more
highly than ability to guide the bail to
some place where the defense would find
it most difficult to handle or the attack
easiest to recover and gain ground.
When players like Butterworth Of Yale
and Dewitt of Princeton were accustomed
to nut their Drawn against the ball spec
tators were wont to count off in admir-
ing rapture the distance that the KICK
Travelled.
Then came the onside kick as a valua-
BILE move either in attack or defenSe,
and with it's introduction into the game
the studied effort to make it play or as
much embarrassment to the opposing
side as possible.
Good Punting as Valuable as Ever.
The fact that kicks must cover def
mite amount of ground this year to be OF
certain value to the side which makes
them has discounted in a mild degree
the importance which was attached 10
the onside kick but within the last Two
weeks the coaches of some of the college
elevens are awakening to the fact that
the punt is quite valuable as IL was
last wear in making trouble for the
"other side"
OF all the punters who have been seen
in the eastern games Ballou OF Prince
ton and Ingersoll of Dartmouth. to the
present time, seem to excel IN their
ability to make their kicks count.
BalIou. who was a natural punter When
he went to Princeton, has been under
the tuition of Harlan, who was one OF
the very best of the men who ABSORBED
the real worth of the onsde kick when
it was introduced into the game.
AS punter for distance Baliou was
good before Harlan essayed to coach him
at Princeton. His punting has been inn
proved fifty per cent, because he has
caught Harlans manner of lifting the
ball just above both lines. driving it with
great speed and giving 1t twist which
makes it dangerous object to handle
either before it strikes the ground or
after it takes the first bound and starts
