Richmond Light Infantry Blues won
the initial game of the football season
here this afternoon from the Presby-
terians by the score OF Is o. The
first touchdown was scored In the sec
ond quarter when McRea plunged
through center from the slx-yard line
for touchdown. He kicked goal.
The last time the Hampden- Sidney's
goal was crossed occurred In the last
few minutes of play. when Captain
Sweeney blocked an attempted kick
and scrambled through the players over
the line. McRea failed to make this
goal
The fumbling OF both teams was con-
spicuous and many times the ball
changed hands because the players
were unable to hold it. Both the Blues
and the Presbyterians showed great
ability at defensive PLAY. Walker. the
big PLAYER of the Medical College Of
Virginia team, proved a great factor
in the Blues victory and time after
time swept back the light Blue and
Gray backs for a loss.
McRea was easily the star for the
visitors while Pendleton shone for
Hampden- Sidney. Captain Bowling.
Ebel and Gregory also did great work
for the college men.
In the third quarter Hampden- Sidney
carried the ball to the Blues two-yard
line on series of end runs but here
they stalled In the mire of the soldiers

across the line. After that they did
not have another chance to reach their

JOHNSON FAVORS
CUT IN RAKE-OFF

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.--President
Johnson, Of the American league, has
made a suggestion that will be Sc
iously considered by the major leagues
when the subject of the worlds series
comes up for discussion. Johnson says
expenses incurred annually by the ma
tional commission he is in favor of re-
ductng the commissions share of post
season receipts from ten per cent to
FIVE per cent. or abolishing the rake
off altogether.
The players have loudly protested
against the payment of ten per cent
to the commission. This year the
commission took s32,5s7 out Of the
worlds series. which made a total
rake-off of $180,073 since 1903.
