MARSHALL DEFEATS THOMAS
Engineer Corps Boy Knocks Out
Young Thomas at Ardmore

Kid Marshall Of the United States
Engineer Corps scored knockout
over Young Thomas of Washington in
the seventh round Of their scheduled
twenty-round bout at Ardmore last
night. Marshall had margin on
Thomas even before he slipped over
the knockout blow. In the prelimi-
naries Kid Greek, protege of Pete
Baum, earned a decision over Young
McCue of Baltimore, and the battle
royal ended a draw between Rough
house Spriggs and Battling Jones'
The bout between Young Thomas and
Kid Marshall was very interesting.
There has long been considerable
rivalry between them, and they went
after each other from the first tap
of the gong. They gave a splendid
exhibition of the manly art, though
Marshall undoubtedly proved himself
the better man all the way.
The bouts attraced big crowd, and
II e arrangements in general were the
best yet seen at Ardmore. There was
perfect order. and the whole affair was
creditably conducted.

BRINDILLA'S CASE UNSETTLED.
Attorneys Believe American Regis

HALIFAX, n. s.. October 20. - No
legal proceedings were expected today
in the case of the American tank
steamer Brindilla. seized as prize of
war and lowed here by British cruis-
er Sunday. 1t was explained that the
solicitors employed by the British ad-
miralty have not had time to prepare
the necessary papers. The Brindilla
was recently transferred from German
to American registry.
Local attorneys generally believe
this case will be one of greatest i'm
nortance in International law and that
the validity of the transfer and also
the validity of the congressional act by
which the United States provided for
American registry for foreign built
and foreign owned ships will be tested

G. u. ELEVEN WILL PRACTICE
AGAINST NJ. A. C.. TEAM TODAY
Long Scrimmage to Be Held Between the
Two Squads-Tech and Eastern
Open Scholastic Series

takes away. in great measure that
feeling of strangeness and nervousness
which generally pervades 1euoW
when he stands during the hrst lew
minutes of a foot ball game against
strange team.
Catholic University has no game this
week. but it will get its men In oettef
shape by spending LOT OF time n On tno me
fine points of the sport. one FACTOR
that works against the development OF
good teams at Catholic University Is
the lack of time for practice, some OF
the men being held very late at after
noon classes.
The Brooklanders could emulate the
example of many western institutions
in overcoming this drawback. out IN
that section the men on the athletic
teams of many of the colleges are al
lowed to leave their scholastic work at
$3.50 o'clock. with the understanding
that they make up the work so missed
at other times. A list is kept OF these
men, and if one of them fails to NIL IN
the extra time Saturdays or at some
period when regular class work is not
being held, he is cut off Immediately
and no excuses are accepted. In this
way the foot ball teams are kept up
to the standard by allowing regular
time for practice, and the men also
are forced to maintain their standard
in the classroom.
There is player on the Washington
College eleven this year who could
come pretty near making any team in
the south. To say that he is the star
of the squad is putting it too mildly
he is the team. His name is Walton,
and he halls from Texas. where he
was placed on the all-state eleven last
year.
One of the largest squads that ever
turned out at the Maryland Agricul-
tural College was on the field yester-
day to begin the week of practice be-
fore the biggest game of the year
that with Hopkins. The Farmers would
rather win from the Baltimore school
than any other on their schedule. and.
while they have not been as strong as
a year ago. they are putting forth some
mighty hard efforts to make the right
kind of showing. Hopkins is stronger
now than last season. it's backfie1d be-
ing much heavier and faster than
usual The Farmers squad is made up
this year almost entirely of green ma
terial. but Improvement is being
shown, and by the time of the contest
Saturday it should be ready to give a
good account of itself.

BY n. C. BYRD.

The Maryland Agricultural College
eleven Is scheduled to appear at George
town this afternoon for a practice
ecrimmage against the Blue and Gray
squad. There is seldom a season that
the Hi1ltoppers' management does not
bring the Farmers in for several long
workouts, though this is the first time
this fall that the two teams have lined
up against each other.
The Maryland eleven. of course. is
never as strong as Georgetown, but 1t
always is aggressive enough and suffi-
GENTLY powerful to afford the Blue and
Gray a good try-out for it's various
plays. And. inasmuch as good second
string material is very scarce at NJ. A.
C.. the workouts afford an opportunity
Tor that team to get some good, hard
scrimmage work. Georgetown and NJ. A.
L. nave both benefited considerably
from these workouts in past years, and
II is likely that this is the first of sew
eral that will be held this season
IL seems to be Il foregone conclusion
that Technical High will win from
Eastern this afternoon: that is, in the
m nlihds OF every one who is in a position
10 Know the strength of the two
eIeVenS- There is no doubt that Tech
meal has much the advantage in weight
and strength. but if Eastern puts up
the game fight it has in the past two
or three seasons. the Manual Trainers
are not going to get away with the
long end of the score as easily as one
might be led to believe by the opinions
expressed regarding the probable out
come.
1t is likely that every member of the
Central eleven will be on the side lines
this afternoon to watch Tech and East
ern play. because it is the one desire
OF Central every year to defeat the
Manual Trainers. Central knows it
has good chance for the champion
ship. and there will be no stone I'M
turned in it's efforts to gain every pos
sible advantage. The Blue and White
aggregation undoubtedly will become
familiar with the Tech plays and the
strong points of the Manual Trainers.
1t helps a great deal for one eleven
to watch another play. not only be-
cause it familiariZes the men with the
style of play. but gives them confidence
when they are on the field; and it also

The New York club has no playing

one. If the Wards should be placed in

American League would be considerably

Base ball is not going to progress
under existing conditions. In fact. If
the war is continued the game is going
to suffer more than it already has. No

rogant and detrimental to the game
