The 1911 football season can be said to
be under full sau by tomorrow night as
the high school and varsity elevens
,throughout the East generally have IS
sued calls for candidates to report to-
morrow for first practice. During the
past week the coaches and captains
have been in consultation and In some
instances, suits have been issued to the
new candidates and the veterans who
are returning for another season on the
ETidiron.
At three Of the District high schools
practice will start tomorrow and the
others Will be out by the middle Of the
week. Central. Business and Technical
High Schools will hold q meeting OF
candidates tomorrow at 8 o'clock at
their respective schools. and after the
prel;minsries have been arranged each
team will start in at hard practice.
The Technical boys are somewhat at
a loss to know where to obtain good
practice as the two best grounds for
this purpose in the city have been Sc
cured by Business ard Central. Man.
ager Bennett is now trying to arrange
for the use of Union League Park. but
up to today had not been able to close
the deal.
Business will use the K. r. Y. NJ. c. A.
League grounds, and Central has OBJ
tanned permission to practice at the
District League Park.
Capt. Harry Wilson, of the Business
eleven, is dubious as to the prospects
for a winning squad at the Rhode Island
avenue school. as many Of his veterans
have decided at the last moment to con-
tinue at work instead of returning to
school Wilson. however, has his eye on

Charges Hank O'Day
With Favoring Cubs

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-what is looked
upon as a remarkable warning from
one baseball nagnate to another was
received by Manager John McGraw, of
the Giants.
What purports to be telegram from
Frank Bancroft, business manager Of
the Cincinnati Reds, notified McGraw to
make 1t his business to have Umpire
O'Day barred from officiating at the
Giants-Cub series in Chicago within
the next two weeks. The telegram read:
Have Brush request Lynch to keep
O'Day away from Chicago, or your
chance is hopeless. He robbed US
shamefully yesterday"
The receipt of this message stirred
up a great deal Of excitement In the
Giants ranks. and the matter Is sure
to be investigated.

CONNIE MACK SENDS
SPIES ON TRAIL OF
M'GRAN'S CLIMBERS
Gets Line on Peculiar Styles
of Play Used by Com
ing Champions.

Connie Mack considers the American
League pennant won, and he also fig-
ures that New York looks like the
likely National contender for worlds
honors. Eer several days Mack has had
spies following the Giants and getting a
line on the weaknesses Of individual
members of the team. In the event Of
the Mackmen going against the Giants
the style Of play Of the Athletics will
be changed 30 as to overcome the fast
work Of theNNationals on the bases.
The Giants have six men who are
classed among the leading base stealers
in the National League, and Mack win
have to do some tall coaching with his
catchers and pitchers to hold the Ma
tionals on the sacks. There. isn't e
pitcher In the entire Philadelphia outfit
first base, and as Mack hasn't the best
throwing catchers IN the league, he will
have to coach his players into getting
the other teams signals.
This was the game ne worked IN
the American League last season. and
against the Cubs In the worlds series
Of 1910. II Mack can stop the Giants
on the bases, his men will likely win
the worlds championship as easily as
they won 1t last year.
II ShiCdbO ~ 40 AAhSAy ehO nih-
letics will play the same slam-bang
style against the Cubs that they put
I'D last year. National League critics
figure that Mack will have an easier
time repeating> against Chicago than he
would have winning against New York.
And they do acknowledge the odds on
the American League champions against
any National club.
II is interesting to note that had
Frank Chance taken advantage of the
opportunity to get Cy Young. his PEN
nant hopes would have been stronger
now. Chance could have secured
Young's services without paying a.
waiver price, but he figured the vet
eran pitcher was all In. Young has
won three and lost two games since
going TO the Boston Nationals, and II Is
almost safe to say his record would
have been four victories had he been
with the Cubs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-News from NIL
waukee that Sheriff Arnold had sent a
letter to the promoters of the Wolgast-
MacFarland fight, scheduled for next
Friday, stating that the bout would not
be permitted. was received with some
doubt by Chicago followers of the
game.
Frank Mulkern, promoter of the

assurance from people in authority that

You may make the positive an
rouncement that the fight will be held"

Emil Thirty, manager of Mcfarland,
when asked regarding the sheriff's ac-
ton, said: There is no way in which
the sheriff can stop the bout. Mulkern,
Tom Jones, and myself looked into the
law before we agreed upon a date and
assured ourselves that the bout would
not be stopped

also telephoned from Milwaukee that
there was no chance for the fight to be

L contest next Saturday to clinch the
championship. The Oriole champs, while
winning from both Washington and
Richmond, have been lucky to get away
with both contests. but they have played
good ball. and now look like the logical
choice for the pennant.
The trouble with the Bankers yester-
day was woeful lack of stick work.
But three hits were garnered on Strains
delivery, and there was never a time
that Washingtonian got past second
base.
Feinle pitched a good game up to the
seventh inning, but he weakened in that
| session, four hits coming in that round.
Excellent fielding prevented a score,
however, two men being caught at the
plate, but in the eighth, three singles in
row with two down allowed Boehling
to score what proved to be the winning
run.
Over 1900 persons witnessed the con-
test, and they were well repaid Wash
ingtonians could learn a lot about root
ing by watching a Richmond crowd.
They whooped it up all through the
game.
The championship banner was run up
on the flag pole about the second inning
Of the first game. There was roar Of
applause when it caught the breeze.
If Dyer's arms had been about two
inches longer he could have reached
Dowdens hit to right, that scored the
winning run 1t was a fine attempt to

'Inky' Davis made a good one-hand-

The Battle-Ax team was strengthened
considerably since its stay in Wash

The receiver Hay was a big improve
ment over the old one, as he could
hold the ball and could hit better than
F. Boehling. who caught at Washing
ton.
That seventh inning was a funny one
for the BattIe-Ax team. Four hits and
not a run. Dowden singled and stole
second. Hay singled to center and
Dowden tried to score on the hit, but a
true peg by Boykin nipped him as he
overslid the plate, and Marty West had
the ball on him before he could get
back.
Then Schmidt singled and Hulcher

then slammed the ball to Hayes and
Hay was nipped at the plate. Strain
strolled off first and West nipped him
by a foot, ending the inning.
