Despite Philadelphia and despite
Washington. the place to play the
Army-Navy game is the Polo Grounds
in New York. The big crowd and the
way affairs were conducted there last
year is evidence in favor of this
claim. But the Navy, for some rea-
son or other, doesn't want to play in
New York, and would prefer Phila-
delphia as first choice and Wash
ington as a second choice As the
Polo Grounds is the better place,
maybe the government officials will
eventually find a good excuse for
holding it there. The harder fight
Philadelphia puts up, the better
chance New York has.

blame him. He has sold Birdie Cree

disposed of Claude Derrick and
George Twombly to the Cincinnati
Reds. Even with these sales Dunn
is still loser on the Baltimore prop

will have to finish the International
