There seems to be three great teams
in the south Atlantic section this year
Washington and Lee. Virginia and
Georgetown. To Judge by the results
Of the games already played. these In
stitutions are represented by about the
strongest elevens in their history. Each
provided It 10 not unluclky in the mat
ter Of injuries keeping out Of the con-
tests some Of their best mon, is likely
to make splendid records.
It would be dificult even to give an
idea as to which eleven is the strong
est, and it Is much to be regretted that
they do not meet. The old method by
which their comparative strength can
be Judged il by the results Of games
which they are to play with the same
teams. Had Virginia not defeated Yale
last week, Georgetown would probably
be given the preference because Of its
victory over the Navy. Washington and
Lee won from West Virginia Wesleyan,
an institution which handed a terrific
drubbing to a small college out in West
Virginia in its opening little over a
week ago by something like 70 to o.
There is still the regret that vir-
GINA and Georgetown are not meeting.
and this year great games would take
place II the three mentioned elevens
were scheduled to play one another. 1t
seems that all are standing In their
own light. especially from a financial
standpoint. and finances in college foot
ball are big factor. since 1t is very
well known that the benefits derived
from the gridtron gate receipts practi-
cally support the other branches of
athletics.
Virginia seems to have a big, heavy.
fast combination, with a punter SO
good that he is looked upon not only
as the biggest defensive factor, but as
the most valuable on the offense as
well. Against Yale 1t is said that
gained about all the ground covered
by the Orange and Blue Virginia also
has a veteran set Of backs.

In an effort to give as many fans as
possible an opportunity to sec the big

necessary to greatly curtail the allot-

NEW YORK, October "a workout
Friday morning preceding the first
game Of the world base ball cham

portunity which the Boston Americans
will have for practice on the field
OF tho Philadelphia Nationals. Owing
to the postponement of yesterdays
game between the New York and Bos-
ton American League clubs 1t will be
necessary for the Red Sox and the
Yankees to play two games here to-
day and one tomorrow in order to
complete their schedule. This means
that tho Red Sox will not have a days

ton club has made no protest
William Carrgan. manager Of the
Boston club. had not disclosed today
the name Of the pitcher who will op-
pose Philadelphia in the opening game

gan was quoted as saying that any
thing except straight base ball was
usually barred in a world series, as
the two clubs would meet for the
first time.

Cleveland Alexander In the opening
game Friday" said Carrigan, land also

the curve ball genius Of the National

ander in that first game. and we have
devised a means which we think will
accomplish it. Should we beat Alex
ander in the opening game the rest
will be lot easier than l have fig
ured. If we fail it will give US a line
on Alexander which will make his sec
ond game doubly hard to win. Out

that he would not be afraid to pick
any one of them to pitch in the world

splendid substitute for that most

burner is guaranteed to be alb

about one cent per hour, and
the demonstration is both in
structive and interesting.
