HARVARD DOWNS
AMHERST TEAM
Crimson Proves Best in the
Mud-ScOre II too.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21.-The Harvard
illies proved the better mud horses. and
consequently defeated the best the stable
of old Gaffray Amherst could offer at
football this afternoon in the stadium
by the score of II to 0. With the grid
iron a cOnglOmerated mixture of mud and
water, the members of both teams flOun-
dered about in every direction. but the
play was really good considering the
adverse circumstances under which the
teams labored
But little chance was given to judge
either team on its merits on account of
the adverse conditions under which they
worked. The Crimson defense, however,
proved impregnable, the visitors not reg
istering a first down during the game
Both teams stuck to the old-fashioned
play, although one or two long end runs
featured the play.
Harvard suffered heavily in penalties,
50 yards being the total of the distance
they were set back. Williams suffered
a loss of 20 yards in like manner.
Harvard's first score came in the third
period. Whiteman had returned FELTON, s
punt to midfield, Calender running the
ball to Amherst's 4O-yard line, when he
was dumped Wendell failed to gain and
on the next play Reynolds shot through
Baumann. The big half back Zigzagged
down the field, his tacklers floundering
hopelessly about him, and landed behind
Amherst's goal line.
Wendell made the final touchdown in
the fourth period. Madden, Connolly, and
Fits made several spectacular runs dur
ing the contest. Lineup and summary:

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 21.-Virginia
failed to show expected form in the
game against St. Johns, on Lambeth
Field, to-day, scoring but a single touch
down in forty minutes of play.
At intervals during the game the home
team was played to a standstill by the
visitors. who loomed up far stronger
than was expected. Virginia adherents.
with memories of a % to victory last
year. had looked to al least four touch
downs but the Annapolis soldier boys
showed unexpected form in many depart
ments The teams We're about evenly
matched in point of weight. Virginia
making up in the line what she lacked
in the back field.
The touchdown was scored in the sec
ond quarter The ball was put in play
on St Johns 15-yard line. and was ad-
vanCed 70 yards by straight line bucks.
Here the visitors put up a stiff defense,
and held their opponents for downs.
Full Back Mullon dropped back of the
goal line for a punt out, GOOdhue recelV-
ing the kick and advancing to the 2O-yard
line before he. was downed. Todd circled
right end for 10 yards, and a series of
line bucks resulted in the score. David
son kicked an easy goal.
Carter shows Up Good.
From this time until the final blow
of the whistle, play seesawed up and
down the field. The game ended with
the ball in Virginia's possession on their
opponents 3O-yard line. The defensive
work Of Right Guard Carter. together
with Todd's open field running featured.

West Point, y. Y. Oct. 21.-Outpla yed
from the start, Yale went down to de-
feat to-day on the West Point plains. 80
and for the second year in succession
the entire corps of cadets celebrated a
victory over the Blue eleven. One
touchdown was enough to win the
game, and the Soldiers lost no time in
making it. Before the first period was
half over. Dean was pushed over the
line for a touchdown, and when he
kicked the goal a moment later, the
score, Army, 6; Yale, 0. was hung up.
And to 0 it remained until the last
whistle blew. and the cadets trooped
down onto the muddy field to cheer the
team
Never in the history of football has
a game been played under worse con-
ditions. 1t was not all mud. however,
for here and there were pools of water,
ankle deep. through which the players
plowed their way.
The Army won the game before the
first period was half over. The Army
kicked off, but an exchange of punts
soon gave them the ball within striking
distance of the Yale goal. Benedict
went through the left side of Yale's
line for Is yards. and, on the mex:
play, Full Back Dean tore through the
other side for a touchdown. Dean
kicked the goal.
Army Has the Best of 1t.
The battle was evenly fought the
rest of the way. If there was a shade
the best of it, the Army had it. Once
the Soldiers were penalized for holding
with the ball in their possession, on
the Blue 1-yard line.
The Soldiers foresight in filling their
pockets with rosin really won the game
for them. Yale had no rosin. The ca
dets were continually rubbing their
hands with rosin, and, therefore, had
little difficulty in handling the ball.

K'd Elberfeld and Mike Kahoe. of the
Nationals, looked over the Tech bat
terry candidates yesterday. and gave
the boys many valuable pointers.
Eiker should-make good behind the
plate for the Stenographers this spring.
Last year he showed up well with his
section team at Business, and proved
his ability as steady thrower.
Bridget. of the Business basketball
team. who has been kept from the game
the last week on account of illness, is
back at school and once more ready
for play. The team is practicing reg
ularly in preparation for their game
with the Cathedral School on Feb
ruary Is. The game will be played in
the Cathedral gymnasium.
The second novice track meet of the
Central squad will be held at the o
street school this morning at 10
o'clock. Medals will be awarded the
highest point winners in the field and
track events, and judging from the first
meet held several weeks ago, with
seventy entries, the meet this morning
promises to be one of some class"
The most important event of the
week in high school athletics will be
the Eastern Western basketball game
in the Boys Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium
this morning. Both teams are keyed to
their utmost. and a battle royal is ex-
pected. The game will be called
promptly at IL o'clock, with Mr.. Long,
of the association, as referee.
McCaffrey, who has lately been kept
from the Eastern High quint on ac-
count of his studies, is as yet unable
to get back in his old position. Nc
Caffrey is the victim of an unfortu-
nate state of affairs. His last SEM
ester's physics mark was withheld
pending the completion of certain lab
oratory work, which will keep him
hustling for several weeks. During his
absence from the team, Baldwin is
creditably filling his place at guard.
Yesterday saw at the Business gym
nasium the first regular baseball ptac-
tice, when the battery and other can
didates for the team reported to Coach
White. There were about twenty-five
boys in all, and each man, regardless
of the position he was trying for, was
tried out for pitcher and catcher. Only
light work was in order, and but little
could be determined as to the indi-
vidual merits of the new men. 1t looks
as though the brunt of the pitching
must again fall to the lot of Bill Bur-
ley, who sad, but true, says he would
much rather play first.

KID EGAN BEATEN.
CLANCY Gets Decision After Fifteen
Rounds.

Special to Tho Washington Herald
Baltimore, Nd. Feb. 10.-Baltimore pu-
gilistic followers were treated to fifteen
rounds OF some of the hardest scrapping
ever witnessed here when George CLANCY,
the local bantam weight. and Kid Egan.
of Washington. went the limit together
the former being awarded a well-earned
decision by Referee Abe Ullman, while .
house packed from the first floor upfvoiced
its approval
From the time the little fellows stepped
into the ring. with Egan the 20 10 favor
ite over Chaney. it was one continual
round OF mixing. and the blows the
fighters handed each other weren't little
love taps, either.
Egans characteristic pluck was evil
dent. for after twice being fioored by
stiff swings to the jaw in both cases and
taking heavy wallops that would ordi-
narily have sent a fighter down for the
count, Egan returned to the fray and
went at things with more determination
The two spills, however, combined with
the succession of swings that CLANCY
continued to land with unvarying accu-
racy. took considerable of the steam out
of Egan, and his blows lacked force for a
time.

BASEBALL NOTES
AND COM MENT.

The manager of the New Orleans club
refuses to sidetrack his own team in
order 10 give major league clubs the use
of the park for games.
President Horace Fogel. of the Quakers,
SAYS that no player who has failed to
sign a contract will be permitted to start
for Birmingham February IS on the Phil
lies special.
University of Pennsylvania baseball
players have been practicing for nearly
three weeks in the big indoor cage in
Philadelphia, and the predictions of the
coaches are that Penn will have great
nine this year.
Connie Mack, in speaking of the recent
turmoil over raised pitchers boxes. re-
marks { at in SIibe Park is the smallest
elevation for the slab in any major league
park in the country. Although the rules
allow an elevation of t%enty-four inches.
says Mack, the slab in the Athletics
park is only three inches higher than the
plate"
Down in st. Louis, Ed Honey, the
rangy big first baseman Of the Cardinals,
and Bobby Byrne, the short but capable
third baseman of the Pirates, are finding
a combined pool and billiard business
highly profitable, according to reports.
And they are giving a reproduction Of J.
Kings famous hold-out by claiming that
they will attend to their pool business all
summer and let baseball go hang.
Speaking of Fogel and his treatment of
hold-outs, he passes out the following
rehuke to the gents who are causing him
trouble: Judging from some of the out
rageous salary demands made by players
on my team this winter, you'd think we
nod won the worlds championship in
stead Of the Athletics. We finished in
fourth place last season and didn't make
quite enough money to pay the national
debt OF France, and yet there is hardly a
player under reserve who didn't demand
an increase of 500 or more

as much as a vaudeville performer does.
II is a case of walking right out before
the crowd and making rgOod from the
start in vaudeville. You have your cues
and your prompters in the regular play
to help out with. \ round of applause
when a man comes on the stage helps
him wonderfully. He knows then that
he has his audience with him, but If
he does not get a hand and has to work
to get it from the crowd IL is discouraS-
ing work"
Christopher Mathewson was in Boston
the other evening. There happened to
be a newsboys' dinner the same night
and Big Six was asked If he would
go to the feast and make a few remarks
to the boys.
Certainly" was the reply.
He did go, and quite naturally he con-
.quered. Now think of the pull he will
have with those Boston ''newsies' when
they are crying out their extras at night
next summer.
Only two base runners playing the
baseball were able to beat Eddie Collins
record of eighty-one stolen bases last
season. One of them was Walter Zim-
norman. little fellow who played in
the outfield for Utica in the New York
State League last year.
Zimmerman stole 105 bases. which Is
a remarkable record when it is consid-
cred that he made only 137 hits and hit
but .26S. AS a rule the star base runners
are men who hit well above 300, but
Zimmerman made up for his lack of hits
by his facility in getting on the bases.
He is built considerably like Owen Bush
and is said to be a very hard man to
pitch to.

Flag Day Likely to Find
Them in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1o.-There is one mid
season plum in the American League
schedule which is eagerly desired by all
of the clubs. This is flag day at Shibe
Park. On this occasion the worlds cham
pionship flag will be raised for the first
time over a baseball park in this city,
and the event will be celebrated in a fit
ting manner.
The officials of the Athletics, of course,
can select the day and the club that they
desire for the great occasion. The
grounds. it Is expected. will be crowded
to their capacity.
A large number Of fans are of the opin-
ion that the worlds championship flag is
flung to the breeze on the day that the
title holders play their opening champion
ship game of the season at home. This,
however. is a mistake. The event is re-
served for special occasion later in the
season.
No plans have yet been announced for
flag day." but it is expected that many
baseball notables, including the members
of the national commission, will be on
hand. and President Johnson. of the
American League, can be counted upon
TO be among those who march across the
field.
Not until after the American Leagues
schedule is announced next week will the
officials of the Athletics announce the
name OF the club which has drawn the
prize. 1t would not be surprising IL the
Washington club got the plum. Manager
Mack fas not forgotten the great assist
ance which Manager McAleer OF Wash
ington, and his players gave the White
Elephants last fall in putting the latter
into condition to play the Chicago Cubs.
The series with the AIl-Stars played a big
part in tho success of the Athletics in the

ton team to reward them with the big
