PREPS
ELECT OFFICERS
Football Team Plays Epis-
cOpal High To-day.

The Army and Navy Prep Athletic
Association yesterday held a short meet
ing to elect officers and outline the work
for the year. After a short talk by Mr..
E. Swavely, principal of the school, in
which he outlined the uses and benefits
of an organized association and ex-
pressed his views regarding the neces-
sity of wholesome athletic contests,
Charles Berwind, of Philadelphia, was
elected president; John Pemberton, vice
president; Henry Turner, of Louisville,
KY, secretary.
Notice was also given of a meeting to
be held shortly for the. election of man
ayers and assistant managers of the
basketball and baseball teams for the
coming year.
Army and Navy Prep will have a
chance to display their strength when
they meet Episcopal to-day. Only one
football game has been played this sea-
son, the game with Tech, which resulted
in a 11-0 victory. Hard work every day,
however, against a strong scrub team
has kept the team in fit condition.
Coach Newberry has had the team
working on some new plays the past
week, IN preparation for the hard schedule
before the Props during November. Ca
thedral, Central, Georgetown, and Busi-
ness represent the best scholastic foot
ball in the District this season, and the
Props are looking forward to a success
full season.

TWO YALE PLAYERS
COLLIDE HEAD-ON
Scully and Tomlinson Hurt
in Practice.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. SO-James
Wood Scully, Jr., Yale's left tackle, and
Daniel Tomlinson, substitute tackle, col
lided head-cn in the football practice this
afternoon and both were knocked out.
They were taken from the field in an
automobile by DR.. Sanford, the teams
surgeon, and rushed to the New Haven
General Hospital. Tomlinson regained
consciousness and showed no i'll effects
from his bump. Scully's forehead was
deeply gashed and several stitches were
taken in his wound. 1t is doubtful
whether he will be able to play in the
Brown game next Saturday, but he ex-
poets to be ready for the Princeton and
Harvard matches, which closes the sea-
son. Pete Francis twisted his ankle, and
had to retire, but expects to return in
time for the game on Saturday.
No secret practice will be held this
week. Three days Of closed gates will
precede the final preparation for the
Brown game.
Yale is anxious to wipe out the humili-
alton which Brown inflicted on the Blue
last year by the q to defeat, and not
much is heard here just now about the
Princeton Or even the Harvard game as
about the coming visit of the Brunonians

By WILLIAM PEET.

Clarke Grifith will pilot the Nationals
during the next three years, succeeding
James A. McAleer.
This announcement was made by the
directors Of the Washington baseball club
at the close of their meeting yesterday
afternoon.
With a 10000 proposition on their
hands, representing new concrete stands
and the purchase of the Seventh street
and Florida avenue grounds, 1t was
thought best to obtain a man with ex'
perience rather than to take a chance on
Mcbride, Schaefer. or Doc White, and
Griffith is easily the best available.
With the advent of Clarke Griffith, who
will be in Washington next Thursday
there is to be several changes in policy
changes for the better.
First of all, Grifith will make Wash
ington his home. He proposes to open
an Office here during the winter, which
tiers, where the local newspapers can
keep in touch with what is going on
during the OF season.
Instead of training in the Capital, as
McAleer had planned before he became
a magnate, it is understood that Grif-
fifth will take his men South next spring.
It is also more than likely that Presi-
dent Tom Noyes will retire and that
GriILth will purchase Mr.. Noyes' base
ball stock and be elected to the presi-
dency Of the club.
Mr. Noyes was not present at the
meeting of the club directors yesterday
afternoon, owing to an important busi-
ness engagement out of town, but 1t is
we'll known that Mr.. Noyes is anxious
to be relieved from his baseball obl-
cations and willing to sell his stock to
the man whom he believes will place the
baseball interests of the Capital para
mount. Clarke Griffith would seem to be
that man.
In an interview with one OF the direc-
tors of the Washington baseball club
yesterday afternoon, the following state
ment was given out for publication:
Clarke Griffith was the unanimous
choice OF the directors at their meeting
to-day to select a manager for the Ma
tionals to fill Jim McAleer-s shoes. AS
soon as our decision was reached called
up Mr.. Griffith, who is in Cincinnati.
over the long-distance telephone, and
everything is settled. He Will be here
probably Thursday and Immediately as
sumo charge, making Washington his
home. Griffith has agreed to a three
year contract. and 1 feel sure that our
selection is a wise one and that he
will give the Capital a 1rst-class ball
club. He will in all probability pur-
chase a large block OF stock in the club,
and it is not at all unlikely that he
will be made an officer in the company"

CORNELL IN HARD PRACTICE.
Players Are HustIing for Game
Against Michigan.

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct 3O.-Cornel began
work in preparation for the Michigan
game this afternoon, and while the de-
tention of the varsity men in the class
room until o'clock retarded the prac'
tice the players were kept going lively
until dark. Cornell plays Williams Sat
urday, but no special preparation for the
game will be made this week. The
coaches are pointing the team now for
the contest with Michigan on November
H. which is the first important contest
scheduled for the team.
In spite of the improvement shown
playing against Pittsburg, the coaches
went back at the fundamentals to-day.
Coach Reed looked after the back field
and drilled them in the onside kick, the
execution of which proved highly sue
cessful last Saturday. Champaign, the
regular right tackle. was out for a time
and is fast getting into shape.

Clarke Griffith to Manage Nationals for the Next Three Years
Signed
For Local Club
Veteran Baseball Manager to Succeed McAteer
Likely to Purchase Stock, and Elected Presi-
dent of CLub-SeLection a Good One.

AIDS Cincinnati correspondent wired the
following brief message:
FCincinnati, Ohio, Oct So-Grih1th de-
MES absolutely that he has signed a
Washington contract. The board of d.
rectors Of the local club will meet either
tomorrow or next day and decide II he
is to be retained. Grif says he was Of
fered a contract by Washington, but says
that even II the Reds are TO go next year
without him, he may decide to take the
berth offered by the st. Louis Browns"
The foregoing dispatch is a bit puzzling.
Evidently Griffith for some reason or
other does not care to make public the
fact that he has closed with the Wash
ington club.
In spite of the denial, Griffith will be
here Thursday and ready to take of mis-
coat and go to work.
The Washington club directors should
be congratulated upon obtaining man
Of GrifiIth's caliber to take charge OF the
ball club Griffith is a hustler, knows
baseball from the ground up. and is a rare
Judge of a players ability. He has been
able to get good results in New York and
Cincinnati, having at his command ma
terial little better than the players held
in reserve by the local management, and
should not make a success here.
Griffith is known to be-partial to young
blood, and every youngster will be given
a thorough looking over before he is
permitted to drift back to the minors.
A baseball headquarters in the Capital
is something that has been lacking To-!
these many years. McAleer, Cantillon,
and others have always spent their win
ters out West, and all correspondence.
&c, had to be mailed to them. Griffith
proposes to be on the job in the Capital
800 days in the year.
This means that the hungry fans will
be given news morsels of interest to the
Capital during the winter-and ladled out
in daily doses, too. 1t will mean more
work for the baseball writers, but then
the fans must be fed, and every loyal
baseball rooter in Washington should
stand up wave his hat, and shout hurrah
for Grif!
Until the new pilot makes his appear
ance on the local stage 1t is impossible
to state just what players will be re-
tained and who will be released, sold, or
traded. It Is likely that Griffith will go
slow until he has had chance to see the
men in action for he has been out Of
touch of American League baseball for
the past three years.
Grifhth's past history is familiar to
every fan in the District. He Is a hustler
first, last. and all the time, a tireless
worker, and one who inspires confidence.
Washington can consider itself lucky in
being able TO obtain Clarke Griffith.
