GEORGETOWN HOPES,
 TO DEFEAT NAVY . ELEVEN TOMORROW

New York. Oct. 1.-Georgetown for a good many years has been aching to beat the Navy at football, and this looks like a good year to turn the trick. The Middies are to meet their neighbors on the gridiron tomorrow.
 At Princeton last Saturday George town demonstrated that this season it is a power to be reckoned with. The Navy, on the other hand, is far from joyous over the condition of it's foot ball prospects. The gloomy outlook was made even darker by the poor showing of the Middies in the practice scrap with the Catholic University eleven on Wednesday, when the Navy had all it could do to come through by to O.
 With lot of Georgetown seoHts' watching closely, the Navy did not un- cover any advanced open plays, but at least in the line it showed fundamental weakness that may take far more than week or two to obviate.
 The Navy line last season was the weak part of the machine, and again this year is is the sore spot. Unless they show big Improvement the Navy forwards will see themselves complete 1y outplayed by the Georgetown first bulwark, which includes some mighty husky lads who know how to handle themselves.

Wagner''s Watch Tower

The big college football teams will meet with a little harder opposition in their games tomorrow. Local fol- lowers of gridiron events who are in terested in Yale's progress are won dering what the Eli eleven will do against the University of Virginia. The southerners sent up a strong squad last season and on past per formances tomorrow's game should be one of the best Of the preliminary events. The coaches will try number of new men in the Yale line to. see if they can make the forward positions stronger than in the Maine game. The Yale management an that the game will commence at a o'clock. + -- Last weeks contest was started at 4 p. m. because of the hot weather.
 The Red Sox. clinched the American, league pennant yesterday without even playing a game. While they were idle the Detroit Tigers dropped out of the race by losing to St. Louis. Veil man, who has been a jinx all season for Detroit, twirled for St. Louis. Nothing to do now but pick the bat teriesa for the opening game of the series.
 Guy Nickalls, Yale's English rowing coach, arrived today on the steamer St. Paul. NickaI1s said he tried to enlist in the British army but was re- jected as being too old.
 It will probably provoke comment from some Yale graduates when they, learn that Charlie Taft, son of the former president and youngster who has had no varsity experience, has been placed on the first Yale eleven after a few days practice, while the sensational Harry LeGore is still Ian gushing on the second team

YALE WOULD BE ! GLAD IF HARVARD
 SHIFTED TO BOWL

New Haven, Oct. Ion the author ity of a Yale football official it can be stated that there has been no official correspondence whatever between Yale and Harvard over the subject of play ing the Harvard game with Yale in the Bowl at Yale Field this fall.
 It can be stated on authority that Yale would welcome the chance of en- tertaining the Harvard delegation in the Bowl November 30, and it is re- garded as certain at Yale that liar ward is in 9 frame of mind to come down to New Haven and enjoy the sensation of repeating last years 36 to o victory over the Ellis. It is not thought. at Yale that Harvard would object to having the game transferred to the Bowl, of which the Cambridge contingent has such delightful recol- Iections. M
 It is felt at Yale that the superior facilities of the Bowl make it highly desirable for the game to be played here. Fully 100000 can be accommo- dated and it is ardent1y hoped, that the Harvard management will express a wish to transfer the game tO this city
 An argument which it is felt at Yale will strongly appeal to the Harvard Football association in urging the transfer is that. if the game is played here, some 15, GOO more seats will be available for Harvard alumni and their friends than they could secure in the Harvard Stadium, if thet game takes place there. If the matter were to be put to a vote of the graduates of Harvard, Yale men believe that the ballot would result in favor of the transfer of the game, to 1, to the Yale Bowl. Harvard a411mni; it is felt here, would rather have the opportu- nity of receiving two or three tickets each to the Yale Bowl than being com pelled to accept a single ticket and see the game in the Harvard Stadium even although the trip to New Haven would be necessary if the change is made.

ALL SPEED KINGS
 IN ASTOR CUP RACE
 ON FOR TOMORROW

New Yofk. Oct: Mot one of the. speed kings of the modern motor rac- ing world wil1s be missing from the starting, line when the race for. the Astor Cup is called at noon .tomor- row at the Sheepshead Bay Motor Speedway. To make sure that none of those who thus far have failed to appear to qualify may be shut out, the officials have decided to hold sup plementary trials on Saturday morn ing. Those who appear early at the scene of the $50 mile race will see something not down on the program in the way of extra speed work. E
 What is perhaps most important from the point of view of making a race of it Ralph DePa1ma will be sure to have a place in the field. Even if he doesn't get his Mercedes ready to start he has a Stutz car that he will drive, although it is not as fast as his German machine.
 DePalma got in an early morning trial at 102 miles an hour.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S0O-This was the date of the greatest disappointment the English prize ring fans ever suffered, for the two c1everest men the game had ever had up to that time had been mach ed to fight on that day. Belcher, although only 19 years old, had fought his way to the top of the heap, and his friends considered him un- beatabIe, Mendoza the Jew, then 36. was the accomplished veteran, who knew more of boxing science and generalship than any other man of his day, or, perhaps, of any day. The recent Gibbons-McFarland fight was not so attractive to the sports as this proposed contest between the young and the old master.g but they were de- fstined never to meet. Mendoza had fled to Scotland to escape his, credt-f tors, and insisted that the baltic take place on Scottish soil. Shortly be- fore the date set, however, Daniel, in- spired it is said by his desire to see a lady, secretly visited London. He was discovered by the authorities, ar rested, and. bound over to keep the peace. The sports were frantic with rage but Dan refused to defy the ma jesty of the law, and the fight was off

EDDIE MURPEfY, WHITE SOX OUTFIEI4DER
 24 TOMORROW

J. Edward Murphy, the White Sox outf1elder, will pass his twenty-fourth milestone tomorrow. Eddie joined in the great game of life. as played on the mud ball' called earth, on Octo- Der 2, 1891. The village of Hancock, on the De1aware's New York bank was the scene of his early endeavors to master the American pastin1e. Ed die first made a reputation on the diamond while a student at Villa.nova College. His showing there was so good that in 1911 he was offered a the New York State League. The next year he went to Baltimore, in the International League, where he continued to add to his laurels.
 While he was still coIIegian Murphy attracted the interest of Con nie Mack, and the Athletic pilot kept a close eye on Eddie during his ap- prenticeship with the minors. At the close of~the 1912 season Connie con- sidered Murphy good enough for the main show, and he made a deal with Baltimore by which Murphy and Walsh were added to the Athletic ros- ter.
 Murphy remained with the Mack naen until the middle of last July, when he was sold to the Chicago White Sox. Connie pulled off the deal in line with his general policy of completely wrecking the Athletics, and not because he entertained Murphy is five feet 10 inches in height, and weighs / around 16O pounds. While not the hardest hitter in the world, he plays a, heady game, and is one of the speediest players the game ever had when it comes to getting to first on bunt.

 Harvard has another drop kicker. who is likely to become as famous as Charley BrickIey. His name is Robinson and Brick1ey, who coached the youngster yesterday said he has great ability. The owners of the New York Americans say they have not decided to build a, new park i'm Long Island City, although there have been ru- more that they had closed a, deal for a site there.
 Eugene Giannini has resigned as coach of the Yale Freshman crew. No reason for his action was given. He has held the position about two years.
 Now that the pennant. is clinched the Phil1ies don't care how they play. They were easy for the Braves yes- terday.

FRED CLARKES MOTHER STILL THINKS BASEBALL
 IS VERY WICKED GAME
(sporting News.)

Fred CIarke's mother still chides Der famous son about the evils of baseball, and prefers to link it with gambling and-h horseracing. As a boy Fred found the job of painting a, mo- notony, particularly when the people of Carroll, Ia, wanted to pay him $40 a month to play ball.. At the age of 19 he ran away from home and took the job. With $40 a month for play ing Saturdays and Sundays and $3 a day for painting jobs on the other five days, the youngster Clarke amassed a little bank roll by theaclose of the season.
 Returning to his mother, he depos- ited $40 in the maternal apron. The prodiga1 was freely forgiven but the anxious parent would. not coincide with her sons g5prQtest that baseball was ae1egitimate profession with great earning powers and a chance for fame.
 Fred insisted on plying his bat in stead of the paint brush, and though he retires with nation singing his praises and a fortune to his name, ''Ma'' Clarke still shakes her kind old head and will not admit that base ball is~a good thing for the boys.
 
 How the mighty hath fallen! Frank Chance, grooming under the burdens of success and glory, quit the game under cloud with the hopeful High flanders tailenderS- Clarke after a de- rcade. of slowing success and triumphs bowed to the inevitable that pro- claims that the cards can not always go one way.
