Jim Gilmore, of Feds, Goes After
Johnson in Bitter Verbal
Attack.

Baltimore, Nd. Nov. 6-Another at
tack upon Ban Johnson, president
of the American League, and the
man who is fighting harder than any
one else against all attempts to settle
the baseball war. was issued by James A.
Gilmore, president of the Federal League,
yesterday.
Gilmore suggests that organized base
ball throw johnson out of camp. indicat-
ing that it is johnson who is interfering
with the Federal Leagues plans for set
Ting its troubles.
I'm order TO be in position to aid in
perpetuating the national game on the
high plane ii deserves" Gilmore says, cit
will be necessary for organized baseba II
TO do some housekeeping The public no
longer accepts Ban johnson as a power.
True. he still hold forth as dictator for
organized baseball. but he has plunged
the magnates into debt and the game into
a condition from which il cannot be
aroused by bluffing and bullying.
I'm less than year the baseball war
has changed from one Of organized base
ball against the Independents to a colos-
sal bluff on the part of Johnson and a
very few magnates in an attempt to
keep the Federal League from reaching
the position that is inevitable. Johnson's
pride has been hurt. and it cannot be
restored.

SMALL GAMES HAVE
HURT MIDDIES' SQUAD
Annapolis Football Team Said to Be
Suffering from Lack of Hard
Work.

Annapolis, Nd. Nov Ga few years
ago many members of the naval and mill
tary contingent were convinced that at
the close OF the season the teams repre-
senting the service academies played the
strongest football of any team in the
country.
1t was the custom for the team which
was defeated in the annual contest to con-
slider that il was defeated by the best
eleven in the United States When. how
ever, the Naval Academy loses to the
North Carolina Aggies and the Military
Academy on the same day is Vanqushed
by Villanova the most ardent friend of
either team cannot claim that they stand
very high in the football scale
The most plausible reason for this de-
cadence seems to be in the fact that the
service teams are not now able TO play
one or two of the really big teams Of the
country each year, and their isolated sit
uation. Keeps them out of touch with the
progress the game is making and the pace
set by the players on the big college
teams. Certainly there is no real differ
ence in the material which is given to
the coaches or in the spirit with which
the work OF the season is undertaken. The
teams are advancing all the time. and
the Army and Navy teams are not adj
vancing with them.
Japan's forests are being cut away
at a rate of 100000 acres a year.

Maryland State Champs
To Meet vigiIants Today

The strengthened Vigilant football
team will meet a real opponent in the
West Park A c.. OF Baltimore. whom
they play today at the vigilant Park
at Fifteenth and n streets at 8 o'clock
sharp. As on last Sunday the admis-
sion will be free. and IL the crowd
that attended the game last week is
duplicated II is evident that the public
OF Washington wants real Sunday foot
ball.
The necessary improvements have
been made to the field this week and
everything Is in readiness for the bat
tie. The West Park team is the
strongest of the independent teams in
the State. and as they are experts in
the handling and throwing of the for
ward pass il appears as though the To-
cal champs are in line for a real bat
tie. This team averages 10 pounds.
but they will be slightly Outweighed
by the local team.
The vigilants will be without the
services of Burns DeMar. the big
tackle. and Jew" Sinclair. the star
end. both of whom are out OF the game
with injuries, but they will be in uni
form and will be able to be called
upon II their services are needed. The

COLLEGIATE A. A.
TO MEET DEC. rs

New York, Nov. 6-The notice issued
by the National Collegiate Athletic As
ISOLATION calling its annual meeting for
the Hotel Astor on Tuesday, December
p. indicates that the association after
ten years of existence is now truly ma
tional in its composition. Originating by
union of the smaller colleges and uni
versities the association has branched
out so that the addition Of Yale Univer-
sity to its list Of members leaves COM
paratively few of the large universities
outside the association.
That a wide field is to be covered is
evident from the announcement that the
executive committee has prevailed on
William II. Taft to speak at the morning
session. Others who will address the
meeting are President Garfield, of Will
Jams; Prof. Corwin. chairman of the Yale
athletic committee, and Dean McClena-
han, OF Princeton Topics of timely in
terest are included in the schedule for
the evening session, and the suggestion
Is made that the relation of the colleges
to the military preparedness OF the nation
might prove of unusual interest. This
involves the question of military train
ing IN colleges
Hitherto the National Collegiate Asso-
citation has acted simply as an advisory
body in which mutual discussion of ques-
tons affecting the welfare of college
athletics has been the main object. In
the notice of the coming meeting there
is a paragraph to the effect that the
time is rapidly approaching when the as
ISOLATION will be able to issue its own
book Of rules for all college sports.

He went back to Cornell this year and
will undoubtedly make the crew.
Paul Wrenn got his first experience
at rowing while in the United States
navy. where he rowed in one of the
cutters. He had little trouble in &C
curing the stroke used in racing shells
and soon became an earnest worker.
Jim Debout, the big boy OF the
squad, recently graduated from Penn
State University. where he made
quite a reputation at end on the foot
ball team. His wonderful strength did
much to put the Potomac she'll over
the line a winner.
The race on Labor Day was not the
first time that Gene Foster. rowing in
No. seat, had been to the mark. He
had been a member of the Potomacs
for several years and is looked upon
as one of the old standbys. His ex-
perience did much toward steadyfng

championship in 1912.

Potomac Clubs Junior Dared Grew Are Credit Rowing Circle
Youngsters Under Coaching Of Claude Zappone Scores
Defeated Virginia Boat Club
and Vesper Club Last La
Dor Day in Big Middle
States Regatta.
TWO VETERANS In BOAT

The Potomac Boat Club has closed a
son and is about to open its winter sea-
son with a series of social events.
The Potomacs gained a signal victory
on Labor Day last when their junior
eight defeated the Virginia Boat Club
crew and the crack eight of the Vesper
Club of Philadelphia at the Middle States
regatta IN Philadelphia. The boat had
only been together as a crew for two
weeks, and their winning over the class
against which they were pltted was quito
the surprise of the day.
The mastery way in which they forged
to the front near the start of the race
and maintained q good lead for the rest
of the course marked them as a crew
that will need watching in any race in
which they may enter during the next
year. Most of the men who sat in the
winning boat were making their initial
appearance in a big event as carsmen,
but quite a number of them had won
Iaurels in other lines of athletics.
Garner, rowing in the bow seat was
serving his first year as an oarsman and
deserves much credit for the way In
which he handled himself during the
race He was formerly a basketball and
football star at Western High School,
where the name of Frog" Garner is
well remembered.
Don Mckinney joined the club little
over n year ago, but came out for the
crew for the first time during the past
season. He was formerly cOxswain at
the AnaIostan Boat Club and got his first
practical knowledge while serving in that
capacity.
He was too light when he Joined the
Potomacs to so out for sweep rowing.
but has picked up weight rapidly OF late
and is now able to hold his own with the
best of them. He is playing football at
Catholic University and is considered
Mute a star. He also made a name for
himself at this line of sport while at
Tech High School.
Linden Ashford had never sat in
shell before last season and deserves
mush praise for the way in which he
mastered the art of rowing. A greal
ceal is expected of him next year.
Tom Farnsworth had his first taste
of rowing at Cornell last winter. |
where he worked out on the machines
under the watchful eye of Coach Court T,
ney and made a good impression. With |
a little polishing he became a valuable |
man for the Potomac eight. He for !

and vice president of the Potomac Boat
Club. II was entirely due to his untiring
efforts that the Potomac crew obtained
the high state of efficiency that brought
II over the line a winner.
The junior eight was not the only crew
that brought glory TO the Potomac club
during the past season, for Capt. Frank
Chamberlin and First Lieut.. Bill Powell
ran away from a field OF eight starters
in the intermediate double SOULS race on
Labor Day. They defeated the pick OF
New York. Baltimore and Philadelphia.
and are expected TO push Kelly and
Smith. OF Philadelphia, for the cham
pionship OF the country in the senior
doubles next season.
II Is understood that the Analostan
Boat Club is to have a Junior. intermedi-
ate and senior eight, a four and a double
ready by next season. Coach Hecox has
his green men out on the river each day
now teaching them the first rudiments
of rowing.
The Analostan crews, with a Junior. in
termediate and senior eight. a senior and
Junior quadruple scull and two senior
and a Junior double scull from the Pc
tomac club should bring the sport-loving
