Teams Working Hard.

The first real workout for both the
Engineer and Vigilants teams for the
big game Sunday was held yesterday.
Lieut. Carrouth, who Is coaching the
Bridge Builders, ran the team through
one hour Of hard work In the rain Punt
ing, forward passing and scrimmage work
took up the entire evening. The field
was rather heavy, but the soldiers got
their plays of with lightning speed and
from the form which they were display
ing the game last Saturday with the Ar
tIIlery had little effect on the players
The Vigilants tried out a series of new
plays which will be used in this game,
and coach Ray Brown is confident of
having the plays effected as the team
will practice every evening this week.
A great deal of interest is being shown
by the local gridiron fans in this con-
test and one Of the largest crowds in
the history of the game are expected
to be on hand.
This may be the last game played in
the District on Sunday as the case which
Is now awaiting its turn TO be tried be-
fore the United States Supreme Court,
and should the highest authorities in the
country uphold the local commissioners
this contest will go on record as the
last Of the Sunday games.

the purpose of appointing officials for
this contest and just who the unanimous
choice will be cannot be asserted. The
following will serve on this committee:
William Peet. of the Washington Her

No official who has worked in any of

Cards" Had to Buy Beck.

Zinu Beck inhelder with the St. Louis Cardinals.
is considered one Of the finds Of the season. His
contract probably would be worth $1,000 in the
open market, and yet the national commission had
to compel the Cardinal club to take him.
Beck's case is most unusual He was playing
with Waco CTexasD when two scouts one for De
troit and one for the Cardinals, looked him over.
Each decided to buy but the Detroit scout reached
the Waco club owners first and his offer Of 81 900
accepted The st. Louis scout made an offer
Of S,ao. The thrifty Waco people accepted that
one also. The scouts did not know these crcum-
stances when they jouneyed together to another
Texas League team. Here they asked opinions,
ofhAnd and with no show Of interest, q to Beck
This rval Texas club owner told them he wouldn't
have him On his team. Thereupon each scout
tried TO rep1diAte the purchase
The dispute went to the national commission. L
ruled that the first Offer accepted by Waeo-the
