Pigskin Season Passes Half Way Mark

Clark Griffith's Nationals, mainly
through the work of Walter johnson, won
more games via the shutout route during
the 1913 campaign than any other club
In the major leagues. The American Sec
ond placers grabbed % contests in which
the opposition failed to count a tally. In
the Tom Lynch body the Phillies were
best in this line, banking their opponents
10 times.
But Walter johnson, leading pitcher of
the American league, also was the leader
hurling shutouts and by a pretty safe
margin. The Idaho speed demon labored
on the firing line in II battles in which
he failed to allow a tally. That was half
of the victories gained in this way by
his club. The other II were divided among
Groom, Boehling, Engel, Ayres and Bent
ley.
Pitchers of the Browns We're not so bad
when it came to handling the opposition a
coat of whitewash. The men, who were
under Stovall, Austin and Hickey hurled
13 no-run battles, with Roy Mitchell, the
right handler, leading with four. Hamilton
pitched two. This total put the local club
fifth In the American league.
But it was not that way with the Car
dinals. The last placers of the National
league were returned the winners in only
six battles in which the slabmen failed to
allow a tally. This put them last in the
Tom Lynch body, but was not low in
the majors, the Tiger pitchers working
only four of these contests.
Sallee Does Well
For the Cardinals, Harry Sallee, as well
as being the best pitcher for the club, was
the leader in this line. The lanky SOUTH
paw shut out his opponents three times
during the 1918 campaign. Bob Harmon,
Dan Griner and Willie Doak grabbed the
honors in the other trio.

JOHNSON LEADS ALL
HURLERS IN MAJORS
IN SHUT-OUT GAMES
York, October 1s.-withgthe h

FORK, October 1e.--Withgthe half-
mark passed in the schedules Of
the big eastern college football teams
the strength and weakness of the va
rlous eevens are beginning TO be appa-
, rent TO close followers of the autumn
sport.
Saturdays games in many cases were
the final so-called practice contests and
from this time on the varsity combina-
tions will face opponents capable of ex-
tending the leading gridiron aggrega-
tions to the point where coaches will
easily detect faults in both offense and
defense.
Although none of the big university
teams was defeated Saturday, there were
several close calls. II is becoming more
apparent that the minor college teams
must be reckoned with in schedule ar
rangements. Yale alone of the leaders
has kept her goal line uncrossed this
season. Harvard. Princeton and Penn
bylvania have been scored on and Cor
hell has ben scored on four times and
defeated once. The Army just evaded
defeat by Colgate Saturday.
Harvard Team Progressing
Although Harvard was scored on by
Holy Cross Saturday, the eastern cham
pionship college of 1912 appears to. be
moving forward at a pace that sur

rivals at this time In four games com
prising 1872 minues of actual playing. the
crimson has registered lis points, con-
ssting of IS touchdowns. II goals from
kouchdowns. four field goals and one
bafety by opponents.
Harvard has a strong backfield, but
the weak point in the team appears to
be quarterback.
The progress of the Yale squad, while
not as rapid or consistent as that of
Harvard, still is encouraging to the fol-
lowers of the blue. In five games, con-
suming 27S minutes, the Ellis have scored
e5 points, consisting of Is touchdowns,
II goals from touchdowns and two field
goals.
While Yale's defense seems on a par
with that of both Harvard and Prince
ton, ELS attack lacks the drive and
finish of the crimson.
Princeton completed the first half of
her schedule Saturday by defeating
Syracuse 13 to 0. In four games the
Tigers have made 124 points In 1874 min
utes. OF the is touchdowns, Streit has
scored eight and Captain Baker three
more. This would indicate the Tigers

Fessenden Free Press: An institute
for the teachers of Wells county has
been in session all week at the court
house in this city, beginning Monday,

the county, with few exceptions, vera
here. The work has been most ably,
conducted by Prof. A. p. Hollis, as,
sisted by Mrs. Hollis, and Miss Fan,
ME Amidon. The fact that the court
room has been filed at every session
is evidence that the institute faculty;
has succeeded In keeping VI the in :

a successful teachers institute. Wells,
| county teachers return to their work
with new enthusiasm, carrying away
| with them an abundance of new ideas
and methods along lines of their pro-
~fession, and Wells county school chill
dren will profit thereby.
Professor Hollis at all times had the
closest attention in his classes of ped
agogy, agriculture, geography and lit,

teachers how to present these subjects
to their pupils in order to get the best
results, urging them always to teach
