SAM AGNEW BEST
CATCHER|N SQUAD
Backstop, Now With FederaIs,
Made Greatest Number of
Assists.

Official 1913 fielding averages of the
American League show that Sam Ag-
new. who has jumped TO the Federals
frcm the st. Louis Browns, had the
best mark in assists. For in 101 games
Sam tossed out 10 runners, an average
of l.64 to the game. He was surpassed
in average only by Alexander, the
Browns second string receiver, who
nipped seventy-one men in forty-two
games for an average of 1.69
Ed Sweeney, who was soundly panned
all season at New York, and who is
said to be on the market, stands next
to Agnew among the first-string men,
with an average of Leo to the game.
Moreover, Ed caught I25 games or
more than any other receiver, SO the
roasting given him seems not to be
justified by the facts.
Schang and Carrigan follow Sweeney,
and then comes O'Neill, of the Maps

This is true.

OF all the teams showing in this sec
tion of the country this season. Gallau-
det must be awarded the palm for
showing a versatility of attack that
was only bettered by Glenn Warmers
Indians. OF the teams playing here
Gallaudet gave the finest exhibition of
forward passing from a regular forma-
ton. Virginia Wesleyan had a passer in
Stansbury who was unequaled by any
of Warmers men. Gallaudet, however,
had a greater number of forma tions
than Wesleyan.

Let them at il.

Now is the time when every one gets
into line with one OF the All-America or
all-sectional elevens. 1t is the open
season for picking men to give special
honors. The beauty of the whole argu-
ment is that one out of every tenth per-
son picking has seen at best but one
or two of the young men who get the
honor.

Season is done.

Georsetown's football season of 1913
came to a glorious close in the victory
over Holy Cross. The Hilltoppers can
not be said to have failed entirely,
though A. and NJ. did manage to de-
feat them. Winning from Virginia
would have ben enough, but winning
from Holy Cross, a representative New
England eleven, makes the happiness
at Georgetown complete today.

SEEKING To HEAL
SERIOUS BREACH
Calling OFF of Army and
Navy Football Game Is
Cause of Anxiety

WASHINGTON, Sept. Navy Of
flcials today threatened to break of
athletic relations with the army un-
less the army footballers agree to
meet the navy this year.
Despite strong pressure being
brought to bear on the army athletic
board by big officials OF the service
schools here the army is reluctant
TO cancel its game scheduled with
the Carlisle team for November 20
and accord the date TO the navy.
The November date originally was
saved for the army-navy game the
blue ribbon football event OF the
year, but the army. angered because
the navy team would not agree to
play the game in New York, gave the
Carlisle team the date. The navy
team wanted the game played in
Philadelphia, as usual.
So keen Is the feeling that 1t is
likely to be extended to other mat
ters and serious breach between the
two branches OF the service might be
brought about
Naval officers are guarded in their
expressions at present, as they hope
that the conference in Washington on
Wednesday will bring about the con-
tinuation OF the game, but they do
not hesitate to say the navy has been
Ill treated in the matter.
Several local officers will attend
this conference which has been called
at the instance OF Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and Acting Secretary
of War Breckinridge. Both Of these
officials favor the continuance OF the
game.

sition, which has lasted for more
