''Murph" King, the great Central
tackle, will make his first appearance in
a high school game in the back field to-
morrow, when Central meets Eastern on
Georgetown Field in the next to the last
scholastic gridiron battle of the 1911 sea-
son.
King proved himself to be a wonder
in the Gallaudet Reserves game last
week. and should he ever get started
in he game tomorrow il will be a hard
matter for the light Eastern team to
stop him.
Fritz Reuter- is in bad shape at pres
ent, but he could be played. Coach
Thomas, however, prefers to keep him
for the Tech game next week. Logan
Cunningham will be in town either to-
day or Tomorrow, and will assist
Thomas with the team for the coming
battle with the Manual Trainers. Cum
ningham has turned out a championship
eleven at Princeton, and it will be a
great help to the Central squad to have
a man of his ability working with Coach
Thomas.
Sleepy Williams, playing as tackle
on the Eastern eleven, carries the ball
better than any tackle in the high
schools, with Smith, OF Western a close
second. In the Eastern Western game
Williams hit the Red and White time
and again for long gains while, for
some unknown reason, Smith was not
used at all. In the scrimmages Western
had with the Maryland AggiesI Smith hit
their heavy line for good gains and he
should have been worked in the battle
with the Light Blue and White eleven.
Eckendorf, of the Manual Trainers. is

'Ecky'' who stopped Van Dyne and Reu-
ter after the Central backs had broken
through the line. Had it not been fer
the hard tackling of Eckendorf Central
would have scored.
The Western team did very little work
the past week, as it thinks the game
with the Stenographers will be rather
easy, as every team in the series has
beaten the Orange and Blue eleven
twenty points or-more, and Western is

winners in a hard fought game, defeat

WAYERLEYO DEFEAT
POTOMAC ELEVEN
Clubmen Are Victors by IA
to 0 Score.

The Arsenal grounds was the scene of
fast well-played game yesterday be-
tween the Waverley Athletic Club and the
Potomac Athletic Club, in which waverIey
was victorious, II to o. waverley's first
score came after six minutes of play.
when Doyle, Waverley's big guard, drop
kicked from the 2O-yard line The next
scoring came in the second quarter, when
Thorpe carried the hall through center
Tor touchdown. Doyle kicked a goal
from touchdown.
Doyle opened the second half by kick
ing to Hale on the 50-yard line, and was
injured in the scrimmage that followed
and had to be removed from the field,
Mayhem replacing him. Thorpe, O'Leary,
-O'Meara, and Mayhem each made a for
ward pass, carrying WaverIey from the
Potomac's 15-yard line to the Wayerley
S5-yard linz, where Thorpe punted, May
hew recovered 1t for a touchdown, but
failed to kick goal. Fitzgibbon and Nc
Clure, Waverley ends, were easily the
feature of the game. Making three per-
feet criss-crosses, 6etting 70 yards.
Doyle's two kicks, which Eere made from
difficult angles, made him the individual
star.

he's taken on thirty or forty pounds. 1t
would take him almost all season to work
that of. and then he still would be
overweight.
In cases like this a club owner can't
afford to carry along a pitcher who can't
do the regular amount of work. He
might take a chance with come back
it il wasn't for the player limit. But
under those circumstances he would have
a pitcher trying to get into shape when
he might have a good working twirler
in his place. That's why Overall can't
come back That's why none of the old
time twirlers who have laid of for a
while ever returns"
Brown is an authority on the weight
question, too. Although he is not what
you might call fat, he loses as much as
eight poun6s in one game. I've lost
moro than that sometimes when I've
worked against the Giants" he says.
IT'S not only the Wort but the worry.
l tell you, worry during ball game can
reduce you as fast as anything. Why,
Eve known as slender pitchers as Tom
Hughes-and they don't make them any
thinner-lose five and six pounds a game
But all you have to do 10 get the weight
back is to sit down after dinnerI drink
glass or two of water, and there you
are"
Then the talk drifted to Mathewson.
'Matty loses less weight in a. game than
any other pitcher know Of" remarked
Brown. There is one exception, when
he works against the Cubs. It's Joe
Tinker that gets Christie's goat Joe
has for long time had the idea he could
hit Matty. He goes up to bat believing
that, and as a result, he can hit the
big fellow to all parts OF the lot when
the rest of us can't touch him.
Then Matty himself admits he begins
to lose weight The more Joe knows he
can hit Matty the more Matty himself
believes It! Say, 1 may be a fanatic on
this question Of mind over matter or
whatever you call it. but Christie's worry
over Tinker makes him lose weight Yet
he can pitch against Philadelphia or
PittsbuTg and scarcely shed an ounce"

Fen Pitchers Who Stay Ont One Season
Are Ever Able to Deliver Again.

Chicago. Nov. 19.-How long can a ma
jor league pitcher stay out OF the game
and come back?
Mordecai Brown, of the Cubs, says
some pitchers can stay out a year, a
very few two years, but the majority
have to keep on working season after
season.
Pitchers are not like other members
of the team" said Brown just before
he started for California TO visit his
old-time friend and fellow twirler. Orvie
Overall "Outfieldefs have been known
to come back after an absence of fifteen
or twenty years., as in the case of Sam
Thompson. Sam played twenty-five years
ago with Detroit. Yet only three or
four years ago he came back again
for "a time and played frst-class ball
for the same team. He hit in grand
shape, too.
Then there's Jimmy Callahan, of the
White Sox. He returned to the squad
after an absence of five or six years
and really put up a high class article of
ball this past season. I know, because
l pitched against him in the Chicago
series.
'Infielders and catchers can return most
any time up to the date they get stir
from old age. But it's different with
pitchers. My case, for instance, will
prove the point Before 1 started pitch

and year out. A change of three pounds
in as many months gave me alarm.
But now that I've been pitching 1

terrific drying out process-lt's the same

Georgetown Field in the next to the last
scheduled game of the scholastic series,
as the Central-Technical battle on No
vember g is not official
The lads from Capitol Hill will put up
a game fight and will hold Central to
a low score, for this aggregation of
football warriors will fight to the last
ditch, and the game against Western
demonstrated that they know football,
and can use the open style OF play to
good advantage.
Central seems sure of being returned
the winner, as the other teams have
proved easy, with the exception of the
Manual Trainers, and to-morrow's battle
on the hilltop should go to- the o Street.

CENTER WHITE INJURED.
COrneIIs Crack Player Hurt in
Game With Chicago.

Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. 1S-Cornell limped
back this afternoon from her melee with
Chicago on Saturday. Overconfidence
and the poor form of a few men lost a
game which the players here thought was
a sure thing. But the worst feature of
the defeat was the discovery that Jess
whyte. the eleven's center, has sustained
a simple fracture of the collarbone, and
that he would not be able to play for
Cornell any more this year. AS Whyte
Is one of the strongest players on the
team, the loss is a severe one in view
of the coming game with Pennsylvania.
He will be replaced by Granny Miller, his
substitute for the last two years-steady,
but lacking in experience. Hundreds of
students met the defeated team as II ar
rived this afternoon and gave each mem
Der of the squad a hearty welcome
The coaches were disappointed at the
outcome but laid it up to overconfidence
and poor form. They gave praise to Chi
ragos fine work.

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. 1s.-Beaten by a
point, but nevertheless defeated. and de-
servedly, too, the Carlisle Indians came
home to-day after their struggle against
Syracuse University.
Coach Warmers midseason slump had
materialized. The Redskins showed their
sportsmanlike spirit to-day when they
unsparingly gave Syracuse fun credit for
her remarkable and unexpected victory.
Coach Warner praised the Salt City COLI
legians highly by saying this afternoon
that they had constructed a remarkably
strong defense, and that offensive work
was played creditably.
