VIRGINIA ELEVEN
RECEIVES BLOW IN
LOSS OF GOODHUE
Orange and Blue, Fullback
Married and Will Go
Abroad.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Aug. Ia
With the near approach OF the football
season. Virginia's prospects have re-
ceived a heavy blow In the announcement
that John F. Goodhue. last years var
sity fullback, will not return to con-
tinue his studies in the law school.
Goodhue has been married and will sail
this week from New York for a honey
moon tour through Europe.
Goodhue. Gaming from Northern pre-
paratory school, entered the law school
here two years ago. Last season his
punting was one of the greatest posses
sions OF the eleven and he was consid-
cred certain of making the team this
fall. His departure compels the discoY-
cry of a successor: no mean task.
Goodhue's loss Is the second received
by the Orange and Blue, Walter Finlay,
the varsity end. having already dropped
out. Efforts will be made to entice Fin.
lay back again, but they are not expect
ed to be successful.
Speed" Elliott, Virginia's head coach, Is
expected here shortly after Labor Day
to make plans for the season. He has
written to Honaker, spending the sum-
mer here, requesting his assistance this
fall and there is a chance that the
speedy quarterback, who coached Rich
mond College last fall with considerable
success, will accept the offer. He leaves
college in December, going to South
America to enter business.

Washington Cricketers
Lose to Baltimore

Today the Washington Cricket Club is
one game further away from taking the
title in the intercity games with BaIti-
more's crack eleven, the Sons of st.
George, the latter having captured yes
terday's contest by l25 to 100 The game
was played on the crease at Rock creek
Park, and sensational play throughout
the contest was the rule. In no match
either at home or abroad have both
teams been In such splendid form, and
Tor that reason the game was fast and
well contested at all times.
Early in the game the Washingtonians
took the lead, and they bid fair to reg
lister victory until Baltimore aug
mented her forces by entering Mallin-
ckrodt and Waite in the game. These
players have been identified with the
Baltimore Country Club eleven and their
presence In the game made a decided
difference in the score, they having
amassed a total of 40.
Others who scored well are Dr. L. d.
Samuels, Kid Sousa, and Henry Thomp-
son, DIR. Cannon, Captain Rose and
John Morton bowled in good form,
while Dr. Samuels contact with the

JENNINGS TO TRY
NEW MATERIAL FOR
NEXT YEARS TEAM
Has Already Looked Over
Much New Timber and
Will Continue.

BOSTON, Aug. 19.-Hughie Jennings
will make the best of his opportunities
from now on, trying out new material
for the team which he will lead in the
American League next season.
1t is far better to play a man three
days against a major league club dur
ing the regular season than use him
three weeks in games played against
minor league teams during the spring
training season. The real test of a
player, all managers admit, never
comes until he Is played against
major league teams.
At this time all youngsters are in the
best of condition, and the major league
teams are showing top-notch speed.
Watching a newcomer perform now
will give Hughie more information than
he could gather during the monotonous
routine Of the spring training season.
Detroit's lineup today does not re-
semble the Tigers lineup of few
months ago. The names of Lopden and
Witt are familiar to fans by this time.
Red" McDermott. Charlie Deal. and
Lefty Onslow are some of the new
comers. They are being tried now.
Others will come later.

BY SENATOR"

John Henry is now ready to CATCH"
said Clark Griffith today to the writer,
"a 'but what Is the use of taking a

is the sense in sending Henry into a

Mcmillan Joins Yanks.
Tommy Mcmillan, the crack short
stop of the Rochester club of the Inter
national League, joins the New York
Highlanders today. He will be played
at once. McMillan's caliber may be
shown by his batting average of .297,
and his speed on the bases is indicated
by his total Of forty-eight stolen bases.
He Is the third best run getter in the
International League. 1t is expected
that he will hereafter be the regular
shortstop Of the New York High
landers.
The Boston Red sox have purchased
Albin b. Carlstrom, the crack short
stop OF the Lawrence club of the New
England League. Carlstrom has been
with the Lawrence team for two years

OF the Nationals, looked him over and

The Climbers and Clark Griffith have

In the seven weeks remaining the
Climbers will do their utmost to stay
as close to the heels Of the onrushing

But, taking the team as a whole, he
faced a problem filled with perplexities.
With customary energy Griffith set to
work to weed out the slow players, those
whose best days were gone blythe lazy
ones. those who declined to take the
abilities were hardly up to big league
standards. He was still doing this when
the campaign got under way.
For month or six weeks the Ma
