Johnson Makes Boston Club
Look Like Bush Leaguers in
the Opening Combat.
SECOND GAME IS DRAW
Dumont Outpitches Shore. but Dark
ness Robs the Nationals of
Chance to Win.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Bill Carrigan, manager of the Bos-
ton Red SoN, turned loose his 1918
champs on the Griffmen here yester-
day for double-header, and a casual
observer might have remarked. why
are the Red Sox the champs
Walter johnson and Smoky Joe
Wood hooked up in the first game and
johnson gained the verdict, TO l.
Wood only lasted six innings after
Washington had scored all three of
it's makers off his delivery.
The final combat ended in a draw,
the score standing 10 3 after ten
innings of hard-fought baseball
Three of the Red SoX twirlers who
are slated 10 perform in the big series
next week were trotted out before the
gaze OF Capital fans. and II the truth
he told they did not look like worlo
heaters. for il WAS off Joe Wood
and Shore that Washington was able
to score runs. Ruth and Mays, the
relief hur1ers. permitted no liberties
The absence Of Iris SPEAKER ana
Jack Barry from the lineup Of the
Red Sox probably weakened the Bos-
ton club a whole lot. but even with
these worthless in the game. ii Is
doubtful if Carrigan's gang could
have beaten Walter johnson in the
curtain raiser
George Dumont pitched the final
contest and with the exception of one
lad iuninG. did well. Dumont allowed
Luz seven hits. three of these coming
in tn" fifth chapter when two hostile
allies hreeZed across.
1t was due to the hitting of Griffs
recruits that one victory and a drawn
battle resulted. Joe Judge and Jamie
ron together with Tommy Connolly
being potent factors with the stick
Judge drove in WashinStons first
two runs while Shore was on the
mound, and Jameson had perfect
day at bat during this game with a
triple and three singles out of four
times up.
Despite the threatening weather. a
f"Cd-sized crowd turned out for the
bargain attraction. and saw the Ma
tionals outplay the Red Sox in every
department during both games.

TIBBOTT TOO MUCH
FOR RUTGERS ELEVEN

Princeton. Oct 2.-Three thousand
Rutgers enthusiasts went back TO
Brunswick this afternoon disappointed
after Princeton had once more beaten
their favOrites, 10 to 0, on University
Field.
The Tigers got off to flying start.
and in less than ten minutes a touch
down and field goal had been regis
tered. After the first period the Rut-
gers team seemed to find itself. and
from this time on Princeton was on
the defensive.
Dave Tibbott was the hero Of the
game After Rutgers tried the Princs-
ton line and failed. Talman kicked the
ball to Tibbott. who carried 1t so
yards through the whole New Bruns-
wick team for a touchdown.
Rutgers failed again to make any
impression on the Tigers line, and on
the kick Dave once more ran the ball
back 81 yards. Capt. Click then netted
l5 yards on two line plunges. putting
the pigskin on Rutgers 20-yard line.
After three attempts through the line
failed, Tibbott placed beautiful drop
kick between the goal posts from diff
ficult angle. This ended the scoring.
In the third period Princeton played
a miserable game.
At one time the ball was on Prince
toms 1-yard line, but thanks to Eddie
briggs the ball was kicked so yards
to safety.
Rutgers became desperate in the last
period, and once carried the ball down
the field to Princeton's 10-yard line.
Here the Princeton line played as OF
old. holding them to downs.

SECOND GAME.

1t was Ernie Shore and George Dumont
for the second game, and until the fourth
inning the visitors could do nothing with
Dumont's shoots, one single representing
their swat efforts.

Carrigan Asks Permission
To Practice on Phillies' Park

Before leaving last night for New
York Manager Bill Carrigan. of the Bos-
ton Red Sox. telegraphed Manager
Moran, OF the Philadelphia Nationals,
asking permission to use the Phillies'
field for practice next Thursday. the day
before the big series opens.
The Red Sox never played OIL the Phil
adelphia Nationals park, and in asking
this request are sure to be met with IA
courteous reply to tho effect that the
tield is theirs any hour Bill CarriSan
wants it.
In order to obtain a little practice be-
fore the big event in the Quaker City 1t
will be necessary for the Red SoN to play
the New York Yankees a doubie-header
on the Polo Grounds next Wednesday,
and this sanction has already been grant
ed by President Johnson.
While the Red Sox looked far from
a championship club against the Ma
tionals yesterday, it must be remembered
strength. as neither Barry or Speaker
were in the lineup, and besides there
was nothing at stake, and the visitors
probably took things easy.
In the world series this bunch will look
like a vastly different hall club.
The Griffmen have but three more
games remaining to be played. Connie
Mack's Athletics will be here tomorrow
and stick around until Wednesday after
noon. Griff will probably use all of his
youngsters during this series. and may
even be persuaded to pitch few innings
himself.

members of the Quaker team are held in
high regard all around the circuit, espe-
cially by the players in the other cities.
The dope artists have inserted a new
angle to the arguments concerning the
effectiveness of Grover Cleveland Alex

both Cobb and Neach to a batting aver

PENALTIES NUMEROUS
Seven Minutes After Whistle Had

Annapolis Team on Defense.
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

Annapolis, Md. Oct THAT ram-and-
ram-again style of the gridiron game
which the Georgetown football eleven
showed on the Navy stadium here this
afternoon completely put the toboggan
under the Middies' goat" and the re-
suit OF the annual Georgetown-Navy
clash for 1915 reads: Georgetown. D.;
Navy.o.
The heavy field Handicapped the Hill
toppers and put them to a disadvantags
on several occasions, while that short.
choppy forward heave of the Middies
failed to work with any kind OF &C
cracy. Poor football by both elevens
was In evidence during the forty minutes
of scrambling. but the Annapolis team
was the offenders on the majority Of the
occasions and helped Georgetown to
their hard and well-earned victory.
The puntins was Of the nicrobe va
riety. while the penalties were numerous.
the Hilltoppers losing $50 yards by the
route.
The Navy team which met Georgetown
today was not the Navy Of former years.
nor were the Blue and Gray warriors Of
the same caliber which have faced the
Middies In the past. This heretofors
great Midshipman team was completely
outclassed by the Georgetown eleven. as
three downs during the entire forty min
utes OF playing was the hest they could
do with the wonderful defensive shown
by the Blue and Gray.
Poor head work at the critical stages
cost Navy ground. while little Maloney
allowed the Middies to take the ball on
downs at a ticklish stage Of the game in
the second period.
After seven minutes Of the first period
had been played the tide of battle turned
in favor of Georgetown. and from this
time on the Middies never came within
striking distance. excepting in the third
period. when Vail was hustled into the
fray to try a field goal from the 35-yard
line, which he missed by a short margin.
Criss-crosses, straight line bucking,
and double passes paved the way for the
Hilltoppers. the forward pass not being
used by them during the game. To Civ"
any one of the Georgetown gladiators
credit as individual stars and not con-
slider the brilliant interference and big
hales opened by that sterling line would
blur the brilliancy Of this lons-sought
like way, the Blue and Gray eleven went
about their work of beating Uncle Sans
the ability of Gilroy, Wall.
and Maloney stood out. while that ac-
curate toe Of Andy Dempsey. from up
Newark way. added three points to the
total when he booted one
over from the l5-yard line in the closing
minutes OF play.
Although Navy was OF color in its
famous snappy style Of maneuverinS, the
work OF Miles. Martin, and Jones will
be remembered by the Middies' follow
ers present. as this trio played the de-

Shettsline said that so far they had re-

The club officials and the fans here are
backing President Baker in his stand
against giving the Boston Royal Root

ers, taking the same view az Baker, that
if ii is a choice Of pceving baseball fans
in this city or Boston. the latter should
suffer
The only thing that is worrying the
fans here just now is the fact that 1t
looks as though "Bill' Killifer, the star
catcher Of the Phillies. will not be able
to play in the games. Kilifer is here
now resting up and says his arm is in
good condition. but the report comes from
Boston that he isn't able to snap" the
ball and that he can't put any force be-

The presence of much veteran material
gives Mr.. Nickalls the opportunity TO
boat several good crews and prepare them
for the fall regatta and possibly COM

Mr.. Nickalls. in view of the resignation
of Eugene Giannini. who has been his

sraduate oarsmen in the handling of the
new material. Mr.. Nickalls during the
summer, failing to be accepted as a
