despite the wonderful combination

1t is interesting to note In this con-
neetion that Washington and Jeffer-
son is to come to Washington late this
fall. The team is to appear here
November 21 in game against
Georgetown, and that there will be
great turning out to see what is un-
doubtedly one of the strongest elevens
in the country goes almost without the
observation.

College is a whole lot weaker. The

unheard Of thing for that school to ac-
complish in one of it's first contests. If
the Virginia Meds are as capable as in
1919 then it looks very much as II
North Carolina will have the best
chance to defeat Virginia in years.
The North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College won it's opening

almost prove that eleven to be very
strong again. Three of the players OF

The showing Of Gallaudet against
Fordham was all. and probably more,
than could reasonably have been ex-
pected. The Kendall Greeners were
beaten by the margin of one point,
failure to kick goal after touchdown.
and that a large school of the type OF
Fordham was able to score only once
against 1T Is sufficient evidence Of tne
prowess of the local boys. Gallaudet
has a mighty capable bunch OF lei
lows, and it appears that it is sure to
have another successful year. Certain

were hopeful Of accomplishing that
Georgetown has a big team, but the
chances are that the Navy eleven was
really heavier. and its driving tactics
proved almost irresistible Georgetown
did just az well as ought to have been
looked for, and credit for making such
showing should be given those In charge
The material out for the Blue and Gray
eleven is good, but it Is not of SUFFICIENT
caiiber to warrant predictions that it will
defeat men who have gained much expert
ence in college foot ball. Foot ball In the
colleges Is a whole lot different from
that in the high and prep schools, even
though the scholastic players have been
stars in their respective spheres.

Earl Gardner, once the second base
man of the New York Americans and a
teammate of Russell Ford, was the
fellow who tipped Falkenberg off and
made it possible for the tall twirler to
return to fast company. Gardner and
Falkenberg were members of the To-
ledo team together, and it was while
there that Falkenberg was shown what
A little piece of emery paper would
do for a pitchers effectiveness.
In the spring of 1910 Russell Ford,
Eddie Foster, Ed Sweeney and Earl
Gardner were all members of the New
York team, and this quartet roomeG
together. Ford let them into the Sc
cret of his success, and not one of
while he was given credit for having
wonderful spit ball. Eddie Foster, in
fact, never admitted to any one that
he knew about the emery ball until
the recent exposure had been made.
One day last season, when Falken-
berg was pitching a particularly bril-
liant game against the Nationals, Grif-
fith noticed that he had a peculiar sail
on nearly every ball he pitched. Grif-
fifth after watching Falkenberg pitch
for several innings remarked: That
fellow has that same ball which made
Russell Ford famous Foster, do you
know what it is?" Foster did not re-
ply. because he had promised never to
divulge Ford's secret. but he agreed
with Griffith that Falkenberg had ac-
quired Ford's delivery.
Ed Sweeney undoubtedly made some
good pitchers out of mediocre material
by use of the emery ball. keating was
not the only one of that staff who used
it. 1t will be recalled that there was
a remarkable change for the better in
the pitching of Carroll Brown after he
left the Athletics and went to the Yam
KEGS. / recall a game which Brown
pitched against johnson in New York,
and it took Walter fourteen innings to
beat him. Brown had a lot of stuff
that day. and the players remarked
letting him go. Brown used the emery
ball then, but since there has been
rule passed against its use he is again
being pounded as he was most of the
time when he was drawing salary from
Connie Mack.
