Woman Owner Too
Much for Duffy

MILWAUKEE,. WIS. Sept. 20
The only mistake made in connec-

was in ever accepting employment
from woman owner. I should have

That in IT'S essentials is the state
ment given out today by Hugh Duffy,

from the local management by Mrs.
Havenor. He reasserts that the rea-
son he refused to sign a contract for
next year was cut of $4,000 in SAL

fore the letter OF yesterday saying he
was dismissed. Mrs. Havenor was
trying to retain his services for next
year.
Duffy, meanwhile, has been consid-

the International league. He has a
chance to become manager. 1t il said,

Hampden-Sidney
Football Prospects
Better Than Usual

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.l
HAMPDEN- SIDNEY COLLEGE.
VA, Sept 20.-The opening game OF
the football season will be played with
the Medical College Of Virginia on
yenable Athletic field, tomorrow. This
game is looked forward to with spe-
ciar interest. as 1t will give both tho
coach and the community line on
the players. Eight of last years let
ter men have returned to college. An
equal number OF the second team have
also returned and are working hard
for the coveted positions.
Among the new men there are more
experienced players than has been the
case for many years past--nen who
have played both in the line and in
the backfield. II now seems certain
that there will be for every position
la substitute. almost II not quite equal
to the player who may be selected for
the first tryout on Saturday next.
While the training has been in pro-
gress very little more than a week,
these facts are already clearly demon-
strated: First, the line will average
unusually high in both weight and
speed; second, the applicants for the
positions at end are husky lads who
also give promise Of speed; third. three
sets of backs are being given a try
out by the coach. and these men are
showing such speed and skill that tho
final selection will be difficult mat
ter: fourth, the whole team will aver
age very much higher In point OF
weight than last year. AS many az
+feFty-thFee men have been out In uni
form In q single afternoon.
Whatever the outcome Of the cham
pionship series may be. the followers
of the garnet and gray are already as
sured that they will have a team Of
which they will feel Justly proud.
