Quarter Back of Barracks Eleven

JOHNNY BLAIRS STARS

Some 800 loyal army fans braved the
cool and rainy weather to watch the
Engineer eleven down an An-star ArtiI-
Iery team yesterday at American League.
Park, Is to o.
The game was played for the beneft
OF the Red Cross relief fund The Engi-
neers' record for this season and during
the past three years compelled the ON
GERS in charge OF the Artillery eleven to
muster the strongest team possible. and
a pick was made Of the star players from
the forts IN this vicinity.
The All-Stars proved to be strong in the
early periods on the defense, but three
first downs during the entire contest was
all they could gather while rushing the
ball.
The sterling backleld Of the Washing
ton Barracks outfit were contestly in
the limelight. Blair easily featured the
game with his dashing open field running.
while his work in the pivot position
would have done credit to the best field
generals in college rank.
Fleet opened the game by kicking to
Hasanstab. who ran the ball back 10
yards. After a series of plunges at the
Artillery's line, Blair dropped back and
punted TO Fleet. who returned the ball
The Artillery team failed to gain. and
Bailey punted. but the ball was brought
back. as Kenah. Of the Engineers. was
offside.
Wade hit right tackle for yards but
fumbled the ball From this point on
the game was nothing but Engineers
Early in the first period Blair missed a
goal from placement from the 35-yard
line. and the first quarter ended with
the ball on the So-yard line in possession
of the Engineers.
On the opening play Of the second Pc
riod Blair got away for a I5-yard run,
and two minutes later johnson planted
the ball behind the goal post for the first
tally. Blair kicked an easy goal
The first half ended with the score
TO o in favor Of the Engineers. but dU.-
ing the second session the Bridge Bald
ers'' intercepted forward passes aad
simply run wild, and piled up tally after
tally. and It was only through the in
diyiduaI work of some of the ARTILLERY
linesmen that the score was held low.
The lineup and summary is as follows:
The Washington herald., 1914-12-06

he was asked what he proposed to do in
1915, IL being known that Federal League
agents were dIckering with him.
President Ban johnson. of the American
League, heard of this and was not slow
In expressing his opinion. He said TO me
In Chicago some ten days later:
IF il is true that Walter johnson an
money he could get feel sorry for him.
The Washington club has treated him
handsomely. the fans have stood by him
loyalty. and unless he experiences a
change Of heart his goose is cooked in the
Capital"
Big Ban told the truth. As a prognos-
ticator We doft our sky piece to him.
Walter johnson was cornered in CIeve-
land a few days later and asked him
point blank IL he was going to jump to
the Feds next year. as rumors galore
were being circulated to that effect.
Walter evaded the question at first
said he did not care to discuss the mat
ter. as he was still under contract with
Griff and was going to continue to give
the club his best efforts.
Pressed for an answer he reluctantly
replied: "Well. you see it's this way. The
Feds have never made me a real offer
but they have told me what they would
be willing to pay me next year.
Il don't want to quit Griff, neither do
/ want to leave Washington. and / feel
sure Grin will do the right thing by
me. 1 would be willing TO play in Wash
tngton for less money than the Federal
League offers me-"
How much Iess?" 1 interposed
| ''Oh, a thousand dollars or so"
| That means il the Federal League
offered to pay you $4,000 a year you
would sign with Griff for, say, $4,000
or SlS5Oo?'
Il guess that's about the size of it,
johnson will doubtless recall this inter-
view.
Now what has he done?
| He signed with Tinker's Chicago Feds
last week for H7,5 a year. the contract
/ to run two seasons
The Washington club offered him a
straight three-year contract. calling for
$4,000. and he turned II down. demanding
$1,000 and a 5000 bonus for signing
On the face OF it. johnson evidently
changed his mind about playing here for
thousand dollars or so less than Fed
eral agents were willing to give him.
There has been a lot of bunk written
about the Washington club giving John
son his start. One local expert declares
that but for the Nationals, johnson would
be pitching out In the bush league and
drawing a paltry 500 a month.
| This is all rot. johnson would have
been gobbled up by some other major
league team IL Il had not been Washing
toms good fortune to sign him. and he
would have developed into the same star
| he did down here
But 1t seems to me that in taking this
last jump and going over 20 ths Feds
Walter has acted fooItshly
! Clark Griffith enjoys the reputation
among ball players of paying good sala-
ries. His offer of &6O0 a year was
surely generous one and should have
| been accepted.
| Fair-minded fans OF the CaGital are
| wasting no sympathy on Johnson these
days. His loss to the club next season
will not lessen the crowds at tne Florida
avenue plateau. II anything, they will
/ increase
Johnson's latest move Is vastly different
from the incident which cropped out in
Atlanta four years ago. when, it will be
remembered, Jimmy McAleer refused to

Henors on Brookland Campus
Tuesday.

Some excitement will be in order for
the Juniors and Seniors at Catholic Uni
yersIty Tuesday in the line of a cane
rush between the freshmen and sopho-
mores, something that has never been
done at the Brookland school before.
All year the sophs have been hazing
and bullying the poor fresh all over the
campus until few days ago the fresh
n beIled and fought the sophs to a stand
stiIl. Many Of the sophs came out Of the
battle with badly swollen eyes and lips.
while the first-year men came up smiling.
This was a declaration Of war and every
time a member Of either class would
meet there would be words. The upper
classnlen were at odds what to do, but
they finally hit upon the cane rush and
whichever class wins shall be the ruler
and Is entitled to order the other class
about.
From the result OF the other battle
the odds favor the freshmen. but at any
rate there viii be some excitenent for
ali next Tuesday. which is a holiday and
viii bring out the entire student body.
