HOLD SECRET PRACTICE.
Spies, Barbados and Sentinels in
This Years Foot Ball Warfare.

The cloak of secrecy with which the
big foot ball elevens attempt to cover up
their movements this season rivals the
same tactics which are being used in the
European war. The coaches this sea-
son are going to extremes which are
regarded by the student bodies at the
Institutions as unnecessary. The scout
ing system also has been developed to
high degree of perfection, with
gridiron sharp eyes" working as hard
to get secret information as war spies.
CLOSED" practice at Cambridge this
year is an absolute secret. The open
end of tho stadium Is boarded up and
is piacarded with large yellow signs.
CLOSED Practice" The entrances are
pfcketed by scouts who also wear large
yellow badges.
But this is not all Half a dozen
sentinels patrol along the tiers Of
stadium seats keeping keen eye open
for any spy who might be lurking in
any OF the entrances or exits. All
during the practice these sentinels pa
troll along the high stadium walls like
soldiers guarding a besieged city s
ramparts.
At every game at Yale Field this sea-
son there have been Harvard scouts
pencil and pad. take voluminous notes
and make charts and maps. 1t is stated
that Harvard even went so far as to
send two men to Ann Arbor early IN the
season to watch the progress and de-
velopment OF the Michigan eleven.
These men made spying such a bust
ness that Coach Haughton at Cam
bridge was in close touch with all
Michigan's affairs since early in the
season. Coach Haughton, with "Tacks"
Hardwick, left the Harvard team to
the mercy OF Penn State a few weeks
ago to go to New Haven and see Yale
defeated by Washington and Jefferson.
Yale and Princeton have been spying
on each other and on Harvard in much
the same way. Up at New Haven the
team is watched SO closely that Coach
Hinkey has given strict orders that no
one be allowed on the field with a
camera. He does not want any photo
graphs OF Yale's formation at ali.
inese are precisely the same rules
which govern the movements of the
German and English armies. College
root ball has become a matter Of very
grave importance when it has to be
snrouded In such mystery.
Much OF the news which comes from
the root ball camps Is more or less CEN
sored Only that Information which the
coaches care to give out is known even
by the student body. The student see
the team only on Saturdays, when it
plays the regular games. There used
to be time at the big colleges when
each day there was a generous gath
ering of students at the field to see
the team work out But things have
changed.

AN UMPIRE'S TRIBUTE.
Billy Evans Says Jack Sheridan Was
Games Greatest Arbitrator.

Jack Sheridan. one of the greatest
umpires that ever wore a mask. is
dead, says Billy Evans. A number of
years ago / heard a well known
manager, in anger over defeat, say the
only good umpires were the dead ones.
Now that Jack Sheridan has answered
the call of the Great Umpire. columns
of nice things will undoubtedly be
written about him. All will be de-
served. Jack Sheridaa was not a good
umpire, but great umpire. in life. Jack
made only one mistake-he tarried a bit
too long in the strenuous pastime. 1t
is to be regretted that he didn't quit
the game for good few years ago. as
he had intended His last two years
have been dotted with few unpleasant
incidents, but these will be forgotten
when summing up the many big deeds
he performed in his long career on the
diamond.
The death of Jack Sheridan hits me
lard. l broke into the big league I'M
der Jacks direction. What little sue
cess l have had is in great measure
due to the excellent start he gave me.
Under his instruction and that of
Tommy Connolly, who is now the
dean of the American League staff,
learned the difference between UNI
piring in the big league and the
bushes I shall never forget, perhaps,
the longest speech Sheridan ever made
in his life. 1t was intended for my
benefit. You won't have any trouble
up here" said Jack. ''if you will just
remember it is the same game they
play in the minors, the ball is the same
size. and most of the bats are the
same length; the runners are either
out or safe, and the delivery of
the pitcher is either ball or strike,
just the same as it was in the league
you came from. Don't get excited.
Don't let these stars overawe you.
enough without inviting it, 1 always
remembered that speech. 1t often
helped out in the pinch.
Ball players have argued with and
abused Jack Sheridan. but there
isn't a ball player living today but
will say he was delighted to see Jack
Sheridan walk on the field to take
charge of the game. Until his eyes
began to fail him. no more wonder
full judge of balls and strikes ever
seen Sheridan work game after game
in which he seemed to judge every
ball correctly. He was fearless: he
gave the plays as he saw them. There
was no nome team wien JACK SHer uan
umpired, just two ball clubs battling
for supremacy. The visiting clubs liked
to see Jack Sheridan doing the umpir-
ing.
i worked my first big league game
with Jack Sheridan in New York,
April IA, 1906. l worked with Jack
Sheridan in his last game at Chicago
September "a, 1914. l regard 1t as an

FAILED TO BEAT MACKMEN

NEW YORK. November 5.-Clark
Griffith. manager of the Washington
club. has been the target for consider
able criticism since the close OF the
world series, the charge being that he
openly sided with the Braves instead
of supporting the representatives OF
his own league Griffith is charged
with having tipped off the Braves to

charges Similar things were said about
Hughey Jennings two years ago. but
they were based on the fact that Jen-
nings was friendly with McGraw.> his
old teammate. while some bad feeling
existed between the Tigers and Mack
men.

TESTED

The following article is clipping from
the French newspapers translated for and
published in the Washington Post under
date of Sunday, April 18th.
Paris, April 25.--It il certain that
Franco can lay the nattering JUNCTION TO
her soul that she is better equipped with
army horses than any other European
power. The system of horse breeding so
admirably and generously fostered 10y the
government is entirely responsible for
this condition.
Throughout the country there are
breeding establishments, at which the
services OF horses are at the disposal of
farmers at u nominal charge. Prizes
arc awarded annually for the best OF
these government sircs' progeny, and, in
addition, there are arduous tests for all
horses required for military purposes.
One ol these tests has just taken place
IN the shape of military ride from,
Biarritz to Paris, and il has thrown con-
siderable light upon the much discussed
question of the best type of horse for tho
use ol cavalry. The distance covered
was nearly 700 miles. OF this, the stages
from Biarritiz to Limoges are over an
exceedingly mountainous country. These
stages, some 40 miles, took week to
cover, an average of little more than
60 miles day
The most successful type was the half
bred Arab, providing, including tho
winner, four representatives i'm the irst
eight horses who finished The weight
carried by the horses in the trial was
considerably lcss than that of an Amer
lean cavalry soldier in full marching
order. The officers, though using military
saddles, rode as light as possible, depend
ing on finding rations at different towns.
The result OF the cavalry ride from
Biarnt2 To Paris puts a value ON raising
Arabs. The winning horse ridden by
Mr.. Bertereche was au Anglo-Arab. So
also was the one ridden 10y Mr. Tinne
and in order To indicate the effort dis
played 10y the horses and riders Mr..
Tinnel's horse covered the last 400 Kilo-
meters (250 miles) in forty y-cight hours.
Although classed sixth, only ten points
separated him from being classed first.
