coaches in various parts of the country
have issued their calls for candidates
and some of the larger institutions have
arranged trips to seashore or noun

iron squad are already in careful train

be as near as possible perfect when
they take up their practice on the grid

"CHIEF GREEN WILL NOT !

It was learned from good authority
last night that Sherman Green. the In
dian twirler of the American Security
and Trust Company team, that is play
ing in the post-season series, will not
pitch a game for the Bankers. This
was learned from one close to the head
of the team.
Green is not in Washington and has no
intention Of coming to this city before
the opening of college in the fall The
report that he would pitch several games
in the series for the Bankers is abso-
lutely wrong, and the Bankers had no
intention Of playing the Indian wonder.
