LAJO|E DESCRIBES
WOODS PITCHING
Veteran Player Declares Red
Sox Star Never Has
Been EquaIed.

NEW YORK. October S.-Napoleon La.
joie, who has faced all kinds of pitchers
since he made his bow in major league
company back in 1896. says that Joe
Wood of the Boston Red SoX never has
been equaled. Lajoie, one of the biggest
batsmen in the American League this
year, when asked the other day TO tell
just why the Red Sox star was in a
class by himself. replied:
Hes got everything combined: physical
development stamina. iron nerve and
brains. also natural pitching skill. Wood
excels in knowing how to pitch to differ
ent batsmen. His headwork Is one Of the
reasons why he is at the head of the
class. He believes in mixing 'em up
which. in my opinion. is the most effective
method employed to deceive hitters. Look
over the records and you'll find that the
most successful pitchers in any kind OF
company have learned the knack of mix
ing the fast with the slow ones withou,
alternating their delivery.
Wood looks like the swiftest pitcher
I've ever faced. He seems to have more
speed than Amos Rusie, RUDE Waddell
RUDE Marquard, Walter johnson and
others / could name. Yet he develops

Catholic University resumed its foot
ball work yesterday in preparation for
the opening game with Rock Hill in Bal
timore next Saturday. From now on the
men are going to get the rough side of
the sport. for they will find the cameo
next Saturday whole lot more than a
practice contest. Rock Hill has been
playing good ball this year, and it is
not at all improbable that the eleven
will have to extend itself to return home
with the pigskin tucked away. The team
that will start in the game will be at least
fifteen pounds to the man heavier than
it was last year.
Saturday the men had a rest and yes
terday they were taken out for ten
mile walk. Yesterday there was no scrim-
mage. but the line was sent up against
the charging sled and showed mp well.
II was the first work with the sled this
year. Most of the afternoon was devoted
to signal work and the perfectinS OF
formations Coach McDeyitt directed the
first team while Greer took charge of
the scrubs. For the first time this year
the men showed the old pep and ginger.
The most encouraging feature of the
practice was the ginger Mccarthy showed
in signal practice. Last week it seemed
as though he was slowing up with every
workout, but yesterday he returned to life
and showed a determination to gain a po-
sition in the backfield which he is sure
to do if he continues in the pace of yes
terday.
n shift is likely to be made today in
the varsity lineup. Lee, who has been in
fllback, is to so up in the line al
tackle and Allen shifted from halfbac elk
into fun. The other two men who are
likely to be in the backfeld are McCar-
thy and Capt. BleWctt.
Lynch. who started at end last year. is
to be given n trial at quarterback. He
is a sure tackler and Il fast man. but is
rather light for an enl on a line as heavy
as that at Z. r. Magill, last years
guard. is going to start i'm tackle. while
Swift will be tried out ut end. Swift is
fast, sure tackler and weighs about 40
pounds and should be able to fill the bill.
Today the men will be sent through an
hour scrimmage, and the same is in order
every day until Friday.

AUSTRALIANS WIN AGAIN.

PHILADELPHIA, October Safer de-
feating the Gentlemen of Philadelphia in
the second match by IL runs on the
grounds of the Merton Cricket Club here
yesterday. the Australian cricketers start
ed a match with twenty-five Philadelphia
Colt cricketers as their opponents.
The youngsters went to bat first and
succeeded in accommodating 1871 runs be-
fore the side was retired. The Austria
lians appeared to have more trouble with
the Colts bowling than with that of the
more experienced players. losing three
wickets for only 10 runs before stumps
were drawn for the day.
Although needing only 100 runs to win
with eight wickets yet to fall when play
was resumed. the veterans on the Gen

helpless before the speedy bowling of
MacIaren and the puzzling delivery of
Witty.
F. e. Sharpless. one of the survivors
from Saturday. was bowled by MacLaren

doing this, however, his partner was a
big factor. Graves played a good. con

First Sets Best of Match.


The first two sets were the best of
the match. In the first set six of the
nine games We're deuced and every point
was won after the hardest kind of a
fight. the veteran team generally winning
the final and deciding points, as it was
the steadier at critical places.
In set No. =. the Hornidge- HELEN COM
bination gained the decision after twelve
exciting games. This set really brought
out the best play of the four. 1t was
repiete with long rallies and most of
the best shots of the match were pulled
off here. Gordon and Graves lost the
first two games, Won the third and then
lost the fourth With this three-game
lead it looked like easy sailing for their
opponents. but a timely squirt enabled
them to tie things up at all, and from
that time until the end. the advantage
shifted first to one side and then to the
other. Hornidge captured the necessary
consecutive games on the eleventh and
twelfth and thereby took the set and
made the score l all.

sets and We're beaten in each, G-:;. The
