JOHNSON PILES Up
MANY STRIKE OUTS
Big Swede Leads All Hurl-.
ers-Ed Walsh Nearest
Competitor

1t is little bit early to print stories
about what will happen in bascbal II next
year, but one of the things that lis
pretty sure to happen is that Walter
Johnson will then pass the 1900 mark in
strilIeouts-unless he breaks his priceles IS
arm or decides to abandon the natiou al
game.
The man who won the Chalmers C ar
for being the most valuable player in
the American league last season has
since he entered fast company, claiuled
145S striSeout victims. No other major
league hurler has, in the seven conss,cu-
tive seasons from 1907 to 1918, anna sised
this total of whiff exploits-in fact, only
three other men have famed over 1000
ball players in this length of time. These
three are Ed Walsh, Nap Rucker and
Christy Mathewson.
Big Ed Walsh the spthall star eff the
White SoX, has been Johnson's closest
rival for the title of the strikeout. king
of the majors. The Chicagoan has conn
PEELED 1405 of his opponents to tak ke the
whiff route to the bench since he has
been a contemporary of the i'll hstriqus
Washingtonian. Walsh twirled oiEy in 16
games last season, but FROM 1907 10
1913 inclusive, he has been in IS more
battles than the renowned Kawsan.
Christy Mathewson has fanned 1137
men in the last seven cqnmeigns and
Nap RuclSer, 18. Edle Plank. Connie
MaclS's peerless portsider. almost reached
the 1000 mark in that time. 9s7 of his
adversaries taking the strilxssout count.
Chief Bender claimed s64 victims, How

decai Brown 747 Leon Arnes 74S, George
Mullin 70i, Harry White d2s, Ed Reul-
bach G03 and George Wiltse $50.
Johnsons average of stiikeouts has
been 5.41, Ed Walsh's Figures being 4lS.
and Chief Bender's 4.02. Only two of
the men mentioned in this article have
averaged more thanA 200 strikeouts per
campaign, the pair being Johnson and
Walsh. The easterner's average is' mS,
the westerners 20l. Ra ankng third on
this basis is Christy Mathew son, with 162.
Walsh has been the bu siest toiler from
1907 to 1918, inclusive, with Big Six
next in line.

up by the IA major league hurlers from

Sweeping triumphantly through the
making record that is enviable in south
ern gridiron annals. Seven times has the
Orange and Blue aggregation engaged in
battle and on each one of these occasions
they have emerged victors. In six of
them the opposition was held scoreless
and not until last Saturday was a rival
aggregation able to trod their goal line
The cream of southern elevens have
been met and each have succumbed be-
fore their powerful attack. The cham
pionship aspirations of four leading south
ern elevens-Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical, Louisiana State, Georgia
Tech and Vanderbilt have been shattered
and now only one team, Georgia, block
their way to the long coveted southern
title.
Next Saturday these two elevens will
battle in Atlanta and upon the result
hinges the championship. Whichever
team wins will have an undisputed claim
on the football championship of the
Southern Intercollegiate association.
Auburn Wins Eight
These two teams have met on the grid
iron Is times. On eight of these occa-
sions the Alabama Tigers have triumphed,
hile of the remaining ten, Georgia has
won seven, the other three resulting in
ties. In these Is combats the Auburn boys
have piled up a total of 20S points, while
the Georgians have amassed total of 95.
The attention of the southern sporting
world has now shifted from Birmingham
to Atlanta and is focused ON the ap-
preaching championship battle.
At this time the outcome of the battle
is hard proposition to figure. Adherents
to the Donahue standard are confident
that the Plainsmen will master the Red
and Black aggregation. while the follow

CRIMSON PREPARING
FOR YALE STRUGGLE

Cambridge, Mass. November ia
week of preparation by the Harvard foot
ball team in perfecting a scheme of at
tack and defense against Yale in the
game to be played next Saturday, was
begun today The regulars joined for
She first time in three weeks by waiter

strenuous practice. although there was no
actual scrimmage. The intention of the
Crimson coaches, it is understood, is TO
have no scrimmage other than of the
dummy victory, until the eleven lines up
against Yale The men are now regarded
as physically fit.
During the last hour of practice there
was much individual instruction. This
included study If the playing character

are likely to be called upon to face, and
the best manner to take advantage of
these characteristics.

ers of the Athens contingent feel cer-
tain that their warriors will not go back
on them. Comparative scores against
their common opponents, Clemson and
Tech, give the Auburn eleven slight ad-
vantage. Against Clemson the Georgians
were only able to nose out an Is to 10 vic
tory, while the Auburn aggregation easily
won by the score of 20 to o. In the Teen
game the Red and Black machine was
able to pile up IA points, while Auburn
scored 20.
Teams Evenly Matched
Although the Alabamians will slightly
outweigh their opponents the two teams
will be very nearly evenly matched IN
offensive and defensive powers. And be-
fore the battle is concluded each will have
uncorked everything in its repertoir.
Auburn's main strength lies in the
weight and strength of her line and
If the Georgian forwards can pierce
it then the chances of an Auburn vic
tory will be considerably lessened But
the showing made by Tiger forwards
in recent battles indicate that the
Georgia contingent will have no easy
job on their hands to accomplish this
feat.
Another asset that will prove of con-
siderable advantage to Auburn is the
plentiful supply of good substitutes.
The substitute linemen are nearly as
good as the regulars and the same
thing may be said of the backfield
substitutes. In Newell, Arnold, Harris,
Kearly, Hart, Bidez and Christopher
Donahue has a formidable array cf
plumgers and by working them in ro-
tation he should be able to pierce the
Georgia's line with the same degree
of success that was encountered in the
Vanderbilt game.
Ground Gaining Duel
An interesting feature of the game
will be the ground gaining duel be-
tween Newell and McWhorter Newell

eleven, while McWhorter holds the same

ILL ELECTED PRESIDENT
MATEUR ATHLETIC UNION
Boston Man Succeeds Kirby Head of Athletic UnonNnety
Two New Records Approved -Kolehmanen Jones
and Kivat Among Honor Men

Olympic distance runner, was given 43
new records az indoor and 81 outdoor
track records, at distances from "a miles
to 10 miles.
John Paul Jones of Cornell. with his
worlds outdoor record of Ala 20, and
Abel r. Kiviat, of the Irish-American
Athletic club, with Ais 1-5 for mile in
door, were the honor men among middle
distance runers fol the year.
1t was the general opinion of the dele
gates that hereafter the record committee
should accept only records made at stand
ard distances and in events according 10
the list which now obtains in the United
States.
President Gustav'is l. Kirby before re-
firing, submitted a lengthy statement of
the work accomplished during his term
and advocated that competitions under
strict conditions and limitations between
amateur and professional athletes should
be sanctioned. This matter was referred
to the board of governors.
The secretary treasurer report showed
a net gain for the year of $3161.56 and a
balance of $24,SI7.52 on hand.

MANY TRACK MEN
ON PENNSY ELEVEN
Three Sprinters and Two
Weight ThrOwers on
Varsity

Philadelphia, November 17-Probably no
team that ever represented big college
on the football field ever contained so
many track athletes, and high-class ones
at that, as does the Pennsylvania eleven
this year. Michigan may have star in
Craig, but Penn has three star runners
to match this one, with two fine weight
throwers tossed in for good measure.
Marshall, the little quarter back who
defeated Michigan last year and made
the sensational run against the Indians
two weeks ago, is easily the fastest man
on the gridiron today. He was a con-
sistent 10-second man on the track for
Mike Murphy for two years, and only
failed to show last year because the
Quakers had such wonderful pair as
Lippincott, the Olympic star, and Pat
terson, both 40 second men.
Marshall is a trackman who has lost
no speed by playing football. once
loose in the open field he is uncatchable.
Kelly, the end, who has been out for
several weeks with a torn shoulder, and
who is now back in form. is another
track star Last year as freshman he
was the running mate of the great Ted
Meredith. He twice ran the quarter in
so seconds flat, and frequently cleared
90 feet in the broad jump. AS Kelly is
a young giant, weighing 1S5 pounds, he
is likely to be a difficult proposition.
The third traclSman is MCGOWAN, the
hurdler. MCGOWAN started sprint
er, but Mike Murphy has so many 10
second men that he made a hurdler of
him. He reported late for football this
year, and has only just been advanced
to the varsity squad. He has been al
ternated at halfback with Bolger of late,
and may get chance in his place in the
Michigan game.
The weight throwers are Simpson, the
center man, and Harris, the tackle. Both
men have been making good records and
bid fair to be winners of places in the
Penn hall of fame. Simpson is especially
clever and good tackle.

To the loss of Irish home rule may
be attributed the note of sadness and
plaintiycnes which characterizes the
folk songs and in fact all the music
Of that country shown in the follow
ing:
Down thy valley. Ireland, Ireland,
Down thy valleys, green and sad.
Sull thy spirit wanders waiting.
Wandcrs waiting, wanders sad"
Notwithstanding this fact the Irish
as people are cheerful optimistic
and fun-loving and generally they are
possessed Of wit which is the nat
ural gift Of no other nationality.
The restoration of Irish home
rule is the cherished hope in the
