GALLAUDET HAS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Chances for Developing Crack Foot.
ball Team Are Very Good.
Six 1911 Men Back.

Football is in full swing at Gallaudet
College now. At the call issued by Capt.
Moore for gridiron candidates, thirty-six
men responded Never before in the his
tory of the college have so many men
reported
OF the aforesaid number of candidates.
about one-half are new men. who have
had previous experience. About six men
OF the 1911 famous team are back this
year. Among these are Moore. the peer
!ess quarter back and this years captain
and Foltx and Rockwell probably the
two greatest ends Gallaudet has ever
known.
The squad will be minus the efficient
services OF Arras and West, both guards,
VINO graduated last June. Both did good
work for, Gallaudet during their stay at
college. and II the new men who take
their places do not come to the eSpecta-
tons, the veterans will be greatly miss
ed.
1t was learned with. much regret yes-
terday that Roller, the 1911 great full
back. will not return this year Roller
was a wonderful player, and It is feared
that 1t will take the captain a long time
to get a man to take the wide-heralded
warriors place. From the new material
on hand, It is believed that the gaps
In the 1911 team can be filed. A good
number OF the new men are tall and
strengthening fellows, and many show
that they can be developed into good
players Marshall and Cuscoden, Of
Iowa, are the most promising looking
candidates. Each weighs something like
15 pounds.
Every year Gallaudet's gridiron team
II built from old and new men, and
there Is not the slightest reason to fear
that the absence of several veterans will
have anything to do with the success of
the team In summing up all. it can be
said that the prospects for a winning
team at Kendall Green are exceedingly
bright.
the squad was given its first workout
Thursday afternoon. The men were on
the held only short time. and the work
consisted chiefly of runs under puntedI
balls.

quently in the hole with three balls and
scarcely anything else on the batter. II
the Giants win from him. IL will be be-
cause they are able to wait him out and
work him for passes. McGraw is a great
man to play this sort Of a game, but
Wood has shown evidences Of being able
tc tighten up in the pinches that may
stop such attacks. II is really remark
able that this pitcher can get into so
many holes and then get out Of them
without having more damage done to his
record. Il see Mathewson said IN his ar
ticle last week that Woods long winning
streak was liable to upset him as II had
done in the cases of Walter johnson and
"Rube" Marquard. But / want to say
that Wood Is not this sort Of twfrler.
He is not pitching to compile winning
streak now il II requires any undue eff
fort, but he Is in there working to get
himself ready for the worlds series. Rec
ords do not worry him. He is looking for
the long end of the worlds series purse
Collins and Hall Good.
Collins and Hall will be two men hard
for the Giants TO beat Collins is a deco
rative left handler, and he will make some
OF those left-handed Giant batters look
helplessf Hitters like Devore and Becker
cannot touch southpaw. Collins will be
big puzzle to the Giants as Plank was
last year. I think the rest Of the STAFF
will probably not start in any Of the
games unless something unforeseen hap
pens. OBrien and Bedient are good
pitchers but hardly up to worlds series
caIiber with men like Wood. Hall, and
Collins to open with. The other two Red
Sox twirlers may break into some Of the
games, but they are not apt to start
them.
1t can be seen from what I have had
to say that the Red Sox have all the best
of the pitching. Stahl has three stars to
draw from while McGraw has only two.
Stahl,s pitchers are more dependable.
This is the way II looks to me, although,
CT course. 1t may fall out differently.
That's what makes the series good. Next
week I shall try to. compare the styles
of McGraw and Stahl and see how they
match up as leaders. II there 10 room
shall also take into consideration the
infields.

Red Sox Win II, Lose 8,
Tie l, Against SouthpaWs
third of Battles with Boston Club Gregg, Ham,
ilton and Plank Turn the Trick.

1t is generally conceded that south
paw has a good chance Of beating team
with left-hand batters- That's the reason
many are doping Rube Marquard to beat
the Red Sox In the series for the worlds
title in October. But, readers. do not
think that the Sox are weak against the
southpaws
From the figures 1t is seen at a glance
that the Red sox have been almost as
successful against the sidewheelers as
they have against the right-handers- On
occasions this season Stahr 5
men have been called upon to face a
southpaw, and seventeen times they have
been returned the victors. Nine were lost,
and one was tied.
That's q pretty good record for any
team that 10 reputed to be weak against
the side-wheelers to have. A record OF
r7-s for per centage of .e54 Is doing con-
siderably we'll The record Of the Sox
against the southpaws Is only forty-nine
points less than the one they have COM
piled this campaign, which shows they
have maintained their regular stride all
season no matter what kind of pitchers
they have been called upon to face
Three Beat sox.
Just three southpaws In the American
League have been able to take the
measure of the new American League
champions this year. Eddie Plank. Of the
Athletics, who Is pitching as good ball
THIS season as he ever did in his career,
has beaten them four times. and Vean
Gregg of the Maps on four occasions.
while Earl Hamilton Of the Browns
owns one victory
Not a sidewheeler in the Ban johnson
organization has escaped beating at the
hands of the Red Sox. They have all
fallen at least more than once. which Is
pretty good proof that the team Is not
SO awfully weak against the persons who
let fly with the left fin.
In the twenty-seven games In which
southpaw has faced the men Of Jack
Stahl they have piled up a total of 217
hits, which is a little more than eight per
game. In two of the contests vean Gregg
has won from the team. they have made
only four hits. This is the least hits the
team has made in any of the games. With
an average OF over eight hits per game.
the team has been able to score more than
four runs, which Is enough 10 win al
most any game with any kind Of good
pitching
Marquard Has Blown.
Giant fans who are confident that Mar
guard will beat the Red Sox may argue
that Rube Marquard Ia better than the
left-handers operating In the American
League, but it's sure thing that Mar
guard has very little, II anything. on
Plank. Gregg. Hamilton and few others
working In the Ban johnson organiza-
ton.
Then the Rube has blown. He is not
winning games with any great regularity.
Since his streak Of nineteen games has
been broken. he has been losing as many
times as winning. which shows that the
old stun IL not there to any great extent
any more. He may turn around and pitch
great ball; but Just the same he Is not a
bit better than few working in Ban
Johnson's league.

i HOW. ITsa MIGHT HAPPEN.

JOpln Htobat III is barely possible
that president of the United States
may not be selected November 6, as
is now confidently anticipated. This,
o. course, would be surprising, but
tie working of our national election
machinery makes it a possibility.
The candidate for president must
get a majority in the electoral col
iege, not a plurality. If he doesn't
get majority the contest goes to the
house of representatives for a selec-
ton. This happened in 1900 when
Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr
tied in the electoral college with sew
eilty-three votes each. the former win
nng the contest In the house on the
thirty-sixth ballot
The present situation is peculiar
in this. II Roosevelt continues with
LIS third party program it is practical

the electoral college In fact. il is
likely he viii get some votes if he
makes no campaign. II is hardly
