Mr. Lynn of that circuit stated last
night that the league officials were
tired Of that way of doing things and
were compelled 10 take immediate
such actions in the future. lie also
said that two good teams were desired
to take the places of the mentioned
ones and the applications of any good
clubs that want franchises would be
appreciated.
That the Mt. Pleasant team would for
felt it's franchise has been expected for
some time, as the club has failed to get
together consistently and has not been
very seaworthy at any time during the
season. 1t was practically certain the
early part OF last week that an attempt
must be made to get some club 10 take
its place. but the conditions seem to be
worse and two teams must be secured to
take the vacant franchises If the league
is to carry out it's intentions of the first
part Of the season.
The efforts of the officials to stamp out
the practice OF the FORGETTING Of games
is very commendable, and will bear good
fruit before the end of the year. To en-
force the rule which causes team to
forfeit its franchise when il fails to show
up for certain number Of games Is the
only way to stop them from not appear

MEETS NEW TEAMS
GalIaudet'S Eleven Will TRY for
More Conquests.
EIGHT GAMES SCHEDULED
And Games Are Pending With
Catholic U. and St. Johns
College.

A splendid foot ball schedule prepared
by Manager Frederick II. Hughes. '13, for
the 1912 Gallaudet College eleven, has
been submitted to the board of directors
OF the Gallaudet College Athletic Asso-
citation for final approval, which has just
been given, on the list of games. The
schedule contains eight possibly ten.
gridiron games with elevens of about
the Kendall Greeners' class.
October 5. at Kendall Green, will be the
opening date for the Buff and Blue eleven
with the speedy Mount Washington Club
of Baltimore as opponents. The last
game will be between Gallaudet and Johns
Hopkins University on November % at
Homewood Field. Baltimore. While the
Baltimore university is somewhat above
Gallaudet's class, the Baltimore manage
ment, nevertheless. always gives the east
side college a choice date on account Of
the Kendall Greeners being great draw
ing card and their usually brilliant play
ing in the Monumental city.
The rumor of the athletic relation
severance between Gallaudet and Mary
land Agricultural College, as the result of
the unfortunate base ball game at Ken
dali Green Wednesday. should be set at
quiet when it is noticed that the colleges
will meet on the Kendall Green gridiron
next fall, November being the date
agreed upon. Washington College is
another old-time rival Gallaudet will play

New Elevens to Be Met.

New elevens which will meet Gallaudet
are Virginia Military Institute at Lex
ington, Va. October T. and Delaware
College at Newark. Bel, November Is.
1t has been many years since Gallaudet
played with the above institutions. and
it is gratifying to see the athletic reIa-
lions with them thus resumed.
A hard problem faces Manager Hughes,
as st. Johns College. Annapolis. and
Catholic University want to be on Gal
laudets schedule, and as the Kendall
Greeners are anxious to play with their
old-time rivals, Hughes is figuring on
some Wednesday dates for these contests
to be played at Kendall Green grid
iron. Catholic University went through a
complete foot ball season last year for
the first time in the history of the uni
versity. and that fact should make the
stay of the gridiron game at Brookland
more secure, enabling Gallaudet and other
colleges to consider dates with the Red
and Black.

The action of the officials of the CO.
lumbia League would seem TO indicate
that there is little certainty regarding
the propesd amalgamation OF that cir
cult with the Capital City. If there We're
any serious indications that the two
leagues might combine. there would not
likely be an attempt made on the part of
the officials to get other teams to take
the franchises.

o'clock, and about $50 in cash and
a large number of stamps were
stolen, perhaps $3.50 worth. The
vault was blown open with nitro
glycerine. Several citizens OF the
town heard the noise of the explo-
sion, but no one knew of the rob
berry till the bank was opened for
business next morning. There is
no clue to the robbers.
