A Real Base Ball Poem

I'm thinking Of the old days,
And Of games that then saw

But Of whom we hear no more
And thinking also Of expressions which
Were familiar in that age,
Ike "Anson cleared the sacks today,,
Which would head the sporting page
or The Birds put up q scrappy game
But Rusie shut them out -
Ut bow Win Mercer to the clubhouse went
Because Of Big Del's clOut
And The Big Four had on their batting clothes -
ihough Oid HOss was Bear
And how Buck Ewing wound up the game
When he few to McAleer.''
Then on the field new stars appeared.
Likewise expressions dear,
As, 'Matty to the rescue went''
Or, Hans sees his last year."
And, The game was cinched by q double p]av
From Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Or, Larry put the game on ice,"
Or, Jack Sheridan stood In q trance"
Cobb steals home with the winning nm"
And, johnson strikes out ten,
While Milan stole three bags today
But the Natioaals lose again.
But the phrase that seems destined to Iinrer

The Sons of St. George soccer eleven
defeated the Washington team yesterday
at Rosedale Park, to 0. The Sons
played superior soccer throughout the
game, the Baltimoreans losing the Wash
ingtonians' defense in combination foot
ball. Horne, Frank Downing and Tuttle
dazzled the Senators backs. The Sons
rear guard was never troubled. The game
was very fast. The Sons started Off
with rush and continued the fast pace
throughout.
The first goal was scored by Center
Forward Jack Tuttle from twenty-five
YARDS, the ball being carried across the
goal with terrific kick. The wash
lngton team made dash in the second
half. but could not penetrate the Sons
oerense. Blake at this period had not
touched the ball. The second goal was

shot straight in over the goalkeeper's

HARVARD DAZED AT LOSS.
Students Downcast Over Illness of
Capt. Brickley, Famous Kicker.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 12.-The
Harvard foot ball players are still in a
daze over the loss of their leader, Char
ley Brickley. and whose retirement from
the game has followed a crop of the
most severe foot ball injuries that the
Crimson has known in years.
Brickley, who was operated on for ap-
pendicitis Saturday, was comfortable
today, and it was stated in the bulletin
sent out to the students that his condi-
tion was very favorable last night. He
was in splendid shape when he was op-
Grated Oh and his constitution is rug
ged. Even If the other cripples finally
come around into trim there will be
no replacing Brickley. He is the best
all-round foot ball player of the age,
and the most valuable. His record for
the three years he has played foot ball
at Harvard on the freshman and varsity
had been a total of 245 points, and 18O
of these have come in the past two
seasons as varsity man. and on
twenty-four field goals and eighteen
touchdowns.
Crimson by his goal kicking. and the
Crimson's most recent victories over
Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton all have
come because of his ability to kick
goals from the field. With the Yale
game six weeks away there is a bare
chance that Brickley will get into the
game at New Haven. If SO, however, it
Will be only for a few moments, and
then to take two chances at kicking
goals.
In addition to having Brickley, Mahan
and Logan out of the game, Harvard
also has lost a promising tackle in
Morgan, who broke his hand in Satur-
days game. He will not play for
seven weeks. Pennock, the veteran right
guard, hurt his knee, although not seri-
ousiy: 1t is thought. Logan probably
Will be able to do some playing this
week. but Mahan, who is now Har-
wards main kicking asset, will be
handled all the more carefully because
OF the loss of the teams captain.

BRITISH GOLFERS co
TO WAR FOR COUNTRY
Amateur and Professional Stars Law
Aside Clubs for Swords
and Rifles.

LONDON, October 12.-British golfers
are doing their full share to aid their
nation in the great European war. and
in common with every other British
sport golf is feeling the devastating
effects of the gigantic conflict.
OF the host of prominent golfers who
have rallied to the colors. the most
prominent, of course, is the amateur
champion, ]. Lawrence C. Jenkins, bet
ter known among his golfing brethren
as "Lorry" Jenkins. who has enlisted
in the Cameron Highlanders. Then
there are many others. including. first

familiar faces are certain to be miss

At the suggestion of George Duncan
and Charles Mayo. corps of profess
sionals and assistant professionals has
been formed, and 1t now numbers over
fifty. Arrangements have been made
to muster all of these professional golf
ers into the same regiment, SO that
they may fight all through the war
side by side. One former open cham

Club Employees Enlist.

All over England and Scotland the
golf clubs have been deprived Of their
employees, who have enlisted, and IN
most cases the clubs have arranged to
provide for the families Of those en-
ployes who have gone to the front.
Stewards. greenkeepers. walters and
other workers necessary to the well be-
ing of a golf club are enlisting from
nearly every club in Great Britain.
In some cases troops are using the
golf courses as drill grounds, among
them the famous Hoylake course, near
Liverpool. one of the six over which
the British championship is played, and
the home links Of Harold H Hilton and
John Ball. Many clubhouses have been
turned into hospitals for the wounded
Regular competitions have been aban-
doned by most clubs, though the prac-
tice of holding events and turning over
the entry fees to the Prince of Wales
fund has taken a strong hold. In fact,
a special medal of trifling value has
been designed for the winners of these
competitions. Other clubs have started
subscription lists for the various relief
funds, and the golfers have contributed
substantial amounts.
British golf undoubtedly will suffer
as q result of the war, but it will suf-
fer because the golfers are doing what
they can to serve their nation.

HE OPPOSES MERGER.

Rev. DR.. Robert Watt. district super
intendent of the Easton District of the
Wilmington NJ. Z. Conference, and a
former pastor of the Avenue NJ E..
Church ia Milford, has come out against
the proposition to merge the Whining
ton with the Philadelphia Conference.
which was endorsed by the Wilmington
NJ. +. Preachers Association recently
Dr. Watt is one of the leading ministers
Of the conference, and his attitude
against the merger, which was sug-
gested by District Superintendent E. L.
Hoffecker of the Wilmington District,
is interpreted to mean that determined
opposition to the merger will be made
at the conference session in Berlin, Md
in April, and that the proposition will
not get beyond the discussion stage this
year at least. DR.. Watt in the course
Of an article in The Methodist. published
in Baltimore, discussing the phases of
the suggested merger, enters "an en-
protest against this bald appeal
to mere commercialism in the ministry. "
