Annapolis, Md, Nov. $50 confident
are the Navy coaches that the team has
reached almost top form in its general
play that the entire back field was given
a rest this afternoon, with the exception
of Mitchell. who is fighting out with
Nichols for the quarter back position.
Alexander and Failing were the half
backs and Miles was placed at full back.
The regulars watched a spirited scrub
game from the side lines
Nichols played quarter on the second
team, running the eleven, heading Its
attack and kicking. He played back for
the kicks and handled them in splendid
style. Once he got away from the reg
ular ends and made a run of thirty yards.
Neither team met with much succ IS
with the long forward passes, as a strong
defense formation has been devised by
the coaches.

Capt. Hoge was used today behind the

the coaches having planned hard work

Harvard.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 4-Again prac-
tice for the Harvard squad was a very
light one, as the coaches and trainer are
afraid to take any chances with the men.
as there are enough cripples on the squad
already. After a long blackboard talk,
the whole squad went through the usual
warming up drin on fundamentals; then
the varsity lined up against the scrubs
in dummy scrimmage. the scrubs using
the Princeton plays entirely.
A snappy signal drill followed this and

Former Virginia TwirIer Not in Shape to Do Him

Sport Comment.

, serious errors OF Judgment played an inn
portant part in this years worlds series
games, but there is no record OF these
in the box scores. 1t seems to me that
more attention is being given to scoring
each year, and the recording of errors
Of Judgment will follow before many
more seasons"
Lord knows the scorers have trouble
enough as IT Is without being forced to
include "errors of Judgment in the sum-
mary of the games. Just see where this
would lead to: In the recent worlds
series Connie Mack was censured for not
putting in pinch hitterss in the second
game, when in the last of the ninth
inning, with the score nothing to nothing,
a runner on second and another on third
and none out, he allowed Lapp TO bat for
himself. When Lapp raped to Wiltse,
who threw Strunk out at the plate
Connie allowed Plank TO bat for himself.
Plank also drove to wiltse. and again
runner was nipped at the plate. That
made two out. Then Murphy dribbed %
Mathewson, who tossed him out at first.
ending the chances OF the Athletics. The
Giants then came in and won the game
in the tenth by scoring three runs. Was
Connie entitled to an error of Judgment?
Or was he entitled to two errors?
And how about Harry Davis who was
coaching at third base in the ninth in
ming of that game. Many of the wise
ones thought Davis erred in not sending
Strunk in from third on Barry's rip 10
right field.
And how many "errors of judgment"
should Robert Lee Hedges, owner OF the
St Louis Browns, and 4ars- Helene
Britton, owner of the st. Louis Car
dinals, be charged with in a seasons
play for allowing two such teams as the
Browns and the Cards to take the field
in the championship race?
Comiskey and McGraw. who are back
ing the world tour of the White Sox and
Giants, may find that they have not
enough players TO make up two full
teams when they reach Vancouver and
prepare for the start to foreign coun-
tries. Mathewsol. Myers and Snodgrass,
of the Giants, decided that the long
ocean trip will - them no good and ex-
pect to stop in California. Others of the
party are of the same opinion, and it
will not be a surprise II the trip is aban-
doned unless the promoters sign some
more athletes willing to take the risk.

The other men left from last year that
appeared for practice were: Capt Lam

1t is probable that Gallaudet and c.

field this year. Manager Cronin, of c.

of Gallaudet College for a game to take
place either November II or Thanksgiv-

days open, the only thing that is keep

By WILLIAM PEET.

OF the half dozen or more pitchers
recruited by Grifith who reported in the
Capital during the fag end of the sea-
son one young man has been entirely
overlooked by the local experts. The
veterans and others who have seen him
in action are not overenthusiasuc In
their praise, but when the time comes
for reporting next spring this finger
may upset a whole lot of dope.
The twirler in question is Doc Harry
Hedgepeth, purchased from the Peters
burg club of the Virginia League upon
the recommendation OF Scout Mike ka-
hoe.
1t is not generally known that when
Hedgepeth showed up in the Capital,
after going through grueling campaign,
he was In poor physical condition, not
in shape to do himself justice.
Scout Kahoe, who stands sponsor for
Hedgepeth, declares that the southpaw
is a better finger than Doc Ayres, for
merIy of Richmond, and that long win
ters rest will bring the young man
around in good shape, so that when the
boys hit the Charlottesville camp next
March everybody will be saying, That
guy looks like a regular pitcher and has
a chance to stick with the big show"
A nara season Win HeleTSDuTSs WHICH
club won the championship OF the Vir-
ginia League, left Hedgepeth not only
stale, but considerably under weight He
was simply all pitched out, IL such an
could be applied, and his
showing was a disappointment to those
who had recommended him, but with a
long rest he may show something in the
spring.
Hedgepeth has a fine curve ball, good
control, and plenty of speed, according
to Scout Mike Kahoe.
If the former Virginia Lacquer should
come through and be a winner, we'll

At a meeting of Rock Island camp

resolutions opposing the proposed

alleged by the members of the local
camp that referendum vote taken
with four members of the canvassing
board on the payroll of the head camp
is unfair, and while they are in favor
OF a referendum vote, they co not eX-
pect to sanction the action of the head
camp in the matter until the canvass
ing board is composed of men not on
the pay roll of the head camp. The
resolutions follow:
Whereas, Our head officers have
called for q referendum vote and
named the clerks of the five Rock Is
land camps to act as a canvassing
board, four of whom are under control
of payroll; and
Whereas, Our head officers spent
thousands of dollars trying to defeat
the Donohue bill which gave US a
