ARMY-NAVY GAME
MAY Be DROPPED
Friction Causes Substitution of
Carlisle by West
Point.
GRIDIRON CAUSED RUCTION

Doubt that the United States naval
and military academies will meet on
the football field this fall has been
aroused by the reported contract
which the West Point cadets have
made TO play Carlisle at West Point
OF November 20, the date originally
proposed for the game with An
napolis.
All summer there has been evil
dence of friction in the effort to ar
range the annual Army Navy game,
which has usually been held on
Franklin field in Philadelphia, draw
ing an attendance of more than 30,-
600, including high officials from
Washington, army and navy officers,
and a large representation of society.
Disputes arose over the proper place
for staging the contest the West
Point cadets being in favor of shift
ing the game to the Polo grounds in
New York, where, enough seating
room could be obtained so that each
of the schools could get $4,000 seats,
Annapolis steadily refused to forsake
Franklin field.
Consideration at West Point of
finally took form, and Carlisle In
dian School was suggested as a suit
able substitute opponent, since it is
a government institution and has In
variably turned out one of the
strongest football teams Of the year.
Official announcement of the can
collation. of the game with Annapolis
has not yet been made, but it Is I'M
derstood that within a few days a
statement will be issued from West
Point setting forth the conditions
and announcing the substitution OF
Carlisle as opponents in the final
game of the West Point cadets this

on the weather and went to the track

the absence of the latter.
Corcoran had some trouble getting
started, but he soon became second
Bedford in making the announce

Some one in the judges stand
steered him into making one fine

that he was disqualified for taking
the pole What poleP" Corcoran

DOINGS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

Four defeats in their last five games
does not sound so good from the IL
gers. The Bengals have twenty live
games to play and the Hustlers have
twenty-four battles left If Roches-
ter wins every one of those games
Newark would have to capture seven
teen games and lose but eight con-
tests in order to finish in front. IL
the Tigers win twelve games and lose
thirteen tussles, travelling below the
800 mark, Rochester would have TO
capture twenty-one out of twenty
four battles.
Eddie Zimmerman had his hitting
clothes on yesterday. He had three
bingles to show against the Tiger
jinx-Tom Hughes.
Dick Breen played an all around
star game. In the field he accepted
eight chances and at bat he drove in
three runs. making three hits. The
Tigers might have won had Breen
been squelched.

Bill Donovan now says that Trues-

How about Wally Schang? Bill made
similar remark last season and a
lot of scribes fell for 1t. Connie
Mack gave his youngster chance to
show on the spring training trip and
he is not sorry.

WOULD REVISE RULES
OF THE NATIONAL GAME

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-The suggestion
of President Comiskey of the Chicago
Americans, that the playing rules be
revised next winter at a convention
of managers, umpires and newspaper
men was Endorsed today by President
Murphy, Of the local National League
team.
at has been my belief for several
years that the playing rules are badly
in need OF rectifying," said Mr.. Muir
ply. 1t looks especially bad to have
the rules governing balks interpreted
differently in the two major leagues.
81 believe that a committee COM
prising all major league managers and
umpires and leading scorers would be
unwieldy. A dozen men would do the
work better. / think the meeting
should be financed by the National
Commission, as the experts would be
performing a great service. The play
ing rules could be thoroughly dis
cussed and overhauled, to the great
benefit of the national game in from
ten days to two weeks, believe"

The Boston National League Club
will make $4,000 this year. The
slump of the Red Sox and the sud
den revival of interest in Stallings's
men have turned flood of gold into
the box offices at the old South End

lowed Stallings a free rein and now
he is reaping the harvest.
The Chicago Cubs will play an ex-
hibition game at Lansing, Mich, on
September 3 to celebrate "Vic Safer

Otto Knabe, the peppery little Sec
ond baseman of the Phillies, may sue
coed Higgins, manager of the st.
Louis Cardinals next year, according
to a rumor which was circulated yes
terday. 1t is said that Knabe along
with Devore, the hard hitting out
fielder, will go to st. Louis in ex-
change for Lee Magee, although no
confirmation of the rumored deal
could be obtained from Manager

The White Sox will play an exhibit

Raleigh Aitchison's difficulties with

chison's salary here was increased

the figure offered was over $500 a

Providence fans and scribes have
raised big hullabaloo about Platte

Detroit. There Is a growing anti
