oh School Foot Ball Series to Open Next WeekRes Of Bowling
EASTERN AND CENTRAL TO PLAY
FIRST GAME OF SCHOOL SERIES
Blue and White Has Stronger Team This
Year Than Usual-O&cials for
the Contests Chosen.

last season, their play having been Of
q brilliant character. Technical found
worthy opponent in the Stenog-
raphers and won only by the splendid
work Of an al-Ochsenreiter.
The contest which usually ATTRACTS
a larger crowd than any other Is that
in which Central and Technical are to
play. That is scheduled for November
9. a time when both teams ought TO pc
at their top form. Central has good
material and Is developing a back
field of more than the ordinary capa-
bilities. Tech is pretty much in the
same position. although it probably
will have the advantage of much
heavier line.
Western seems to be an unknown
quantity. The Red and White has
team which has been rated by many to
be above the average. while from other
sources have come statements that the
squad is light and may not do so well.
1t is not well, though. for any members
of other teams to feel that they are
going against an easy proposition when
they face the Red and White.
The officials for the series have been
designated. They are Paul Magoffin,
former Michigan player. as referee:
John O'Reilly, former Holy Cross man
and now physical director at George
town. and Hunter Mcclure of Harvard.
These men should insure very capable
direction of the contests. as all are
efficient in their several positions.

WIN DOUBLES TITLE
Miss Baker and Ballard Moore
Victors in Tennis.
TOURNEY ALMOST ENDED
Only Two Matches In Women's Con-
ISOLATION Round Remain to
Be Played.

Miss Eva Baker and J. Ballard Moore
are champions of the District Of Column
bia in tennis mixed doubles. They won
| the title on the courts of the Dunn
barton Club yesterday afternoon, de-
feating Miss Pauline Stone and Doug
las Hillyer in the final round, the score
being 81, 60.
The completion Of the matches in the
mixed doubles practically winds up the
twenty-seventh annual tennis tourna-
ment for the championship of the Dis
trict. There remain two more matches
to be played in the women's consola-
ton round. The tournament began
September IS and had it not been for
wet weather would have been complet-
ed week ago. The entries in the
mems singles were larger than in any
tournament before held in the District.
and in the mems doubles, women's
singles and mixed doubles were large
also. 1t is probable that next year an
effort will be made to begin the tourna-
ment two weeks earlier in September,
SO as to have the advantage of more
seasona BILE weather and also longer aft
ernoons
Play Good Tennis.
The finals in the mixed doubles
Drought out good tennis. Miss Baker
played in fine form, and put across
some passing shots that brought ap-
plause from the audience. While the
score appears one-sided, the match was
not. and many exciting rallies took
place. In the first set Miss Stone and
Hillyer took but one game, the sec
ond. In the second set. after dropping
the first three games, they rallied and
won the next two games. But at this
point the champions increased their
pace and took the next three games.
1t is of interest to note in connection
with this event that Miss Baker had
previously won the District champion
hips in women's singles, and Mr.. Moore
the District championship in mems
singles.
The score Of the mixed doubles finals
was as follows:
FIRST SET.
Miss s ssasr an, and H MG0se.4
SECOND SET
Miss Baker and Moore. 4 4 7-S2
Miss Stone and HIlyer O so
Before meeting Miss Stone and Mr..
Hillyer in the finals yesterday after
noon Miss Baker and Mr.. Moore de-
feated Mrs. Seyboth and A. w. Howard
in the semi-finals. 6-3. Go. in a very
interesting match.

Eastern and Central will play the
nrst game Of tho series for the high
school foot ball championship OF the
District next Tuesday. The opening OF
the schedule brings together one OF
the strongest elevens in the city and
one that has always enjoyed the repu-
tation Of being something OF dark
horse" Eastern has never been rated
As q championship contender at the
beginning of any recent season. but
there have been few years in which it
has failed to accomplish the undoing
Of one or more of the elevens most
prominent in the running for the high
est honors.
Central is rated as having as good a
chance as any other eleven. and per-
haps q little better. Not much has
been said by those in charge of the
Blue and White squad, but 1t has
leaked out from time to time that the
prospects are considered very good.
Many seem to think that one of the
best contests of the series will be the
second, in which Technical and Bust
ness are to meet. These two elevens
made q great night in their final contest

BIG FINANCIAL LOSS
FACING CORNELL A.A.
Student Sports May Be Curtailed
Considerably as a
Result.

ITHACA, October ia fve-thou-
sand-six-hundred-do deficit from
last year and three-thousand dollar
deficit from the year before are staring
the Cornell Athletic Association In the
face. Only 1.400 students of a student
population of more than 5000 have pur-
chased season tickets this year. Facing
this situation. the two senior societies
and one Junior society will inaugurate a
campaign today to sell at least 1870
more tickets at $40 apiece. Success in
their efforts will stave off a certain
curtailment of schedules which would
result from retrenchment policies the
into effect II no more funds are OBJ
tanned.
Every undergraduate in the univer-
sity will be canvassed. The athletic
council has voted to live within It's In
come this year and to build its sched-
ule accordingly. An official statement
ordered 1t might eliminate entirely the
Junior varsity crew, would bar the
track team from taking part in the
winter games of the intercollegiate as
ISOLATION and from the Penn relay car
nival would mean that the southern
trip Of the base ball team would have
to be eliminated and that all freshman
athletics might go by the board
The books show that Cornell lost
s1.17o in base ball last year. that the
track championships cost s12,7sO more
than the receipts and that the crew
was run at loss of $1,000. Moreover,
maintenance Of the field and boathouse
costs $4,000. Foot ball. tho only big
sport that paid, cleared only $4,000.
Spring day show and season ticket
sales had to produce the balance Of
the money. and hence tho association
fell behind $1,000.

In Boston just the opposite was the
case. The passages to the entrances
were blocked by sightseers, and es a
result 1t was difficult to get into the

the outside of the ball park that the
police insisted upon closing the gates
when several thousand additional per-
sons could have been taken care of.
The Phillies' grounds proved abso-

the club has not gained in popularity

Shibe Field could have supplied more
seats and left a larger playing field.

1t is not going to be an easy matter
to solve the present base ball problem,
even il both big leagues are willing 10
lend a sympathetic ear. There is too
much money involved to consider it Of
no Importance. That the major leagues
have Jared better than their rival IN
the fight to date is generally conceded
by the Gilmore clan. but there is some
real substantial backing behind the
Fed movement. which, now that 1t has
been pinched for a big sum, is not go
ing to lie down without another fight.
Base ball cannot be conducted along
present lines for the reason that ex-
penses are SO high that only the clubs
which are prominent in the race can
expect to make money, while four or
five clubs must lose as much as the
winners make. This Is not good
business proposition and conditions
must be changed before the game can
again prosper as 1t should.
It will be no easy matter to find a
way to take care of the leading hackers
of the Federal League by inviting them
into organized base ball, yet the acqul,
sition of these men Of wealth would
help the game not little. But the
prices asked by those who are willing
to sell are enormous, and after losln

the hackers OF this league must dig
down still deeper to get into the fold.
