of the weakness of his arm, which only
under the most favorable conditions al

once a week during the last campaign.
Ball teams cannot be built up with
players who are about all through, and
no one knows this better than Somers,
who has had lot of experience.
Pitchers seldom can hit or run bases,
and they usually are poor tielders in
any position but their own, where con-
slant practice makes some OF them
ather good at handling bunts and COW
ering first.
average pitcher to do anything but
pitch is very simple. Pitchers are not
ball players. except in q very few in
diyidual cases. Nearly all the profess
sional ball players started their ca
reers when youngsters on the lots in
games of one-old-cat and choosing
sides. In these boyish games the really
good natural players who could run,
field and hit were not allowed to waste
their talents on the rubber They were
wanted to play shortstop, first base or
the outfield. Almost anybody who
could throw the ball toward the plate
would do to pitch. but the active
Youngsters were drafted for positions
where speed and agility counted more
slow awkward boy without much attn
letic skill was thrown into the pitch
ing position, while the good hitters and
felders cavorted in other positions.
OF the numerous qualifications of the
average PLAYER he possesses very few.
He learns to curve the bail. and If he is
smart he practices control of the va
rious brands of stuff. He also acquires
some proficiency in handling the com
paratively small number of heldinS
chances which come his way, but in
general he is a good deal of a joke as
a ball player
When Walter Johnson reported here

the greenest individual that had ever
come up to the ma jors. He had no idea
of the fine points of the game. could
not field nor hit and only the fact that
he had a wonderful lot of speed made
him look most promising.
But johnson did not take much time
to convince himself that he had a lot
to learn and he got right at it, so
that within a year he was il most pro-
ficient fielder Of his position and also
showed some prowess with the bat.

An analysis of the play of the in
dividuals. except that of Oliphant,
which stood out SO prominently. is al
most impossible. because of the condi-
tions. SO dark was the day and SO near
alike the uniforms and SO covered were
the men with mud after they had
played ten minutes it was almost i'm
possible to tell anything about them
individually, as they all seemed to con-
geal into a conglomerate mass on
every play.
An analysis Of the two teams may be
summed up. though, in a very few
words. The Army came to New York
confident of its strength. prepared to
win by playing safe foot ball, and de-
termined to take no undue chance
which might mar a probable victory
The Navy eleven arrived with the in
tention of making all kinds Of desper-
ate efforts to win and bent on leaving
no chance go. no matter how forlorn or
apparently unfruitfui. which might give 1t
an opportunity to win against an eleven
generally recognized as it's superior
1t would not be fair to those in charge
of the Midshipmen to compare the
coaching of the two teams. because the
Army mentors had so much better ma
terial that even IL it's plays and system
of defense were not better than that of
the Navy ii would have been made to
appear SO. The Navy was not as strong
a team as the Army. nor as capable by
comparison of individuals. The Navy
threw its forward passes, took all the
chances that offered and with weaker
team lost; the Army played it's safe
game. left itself open to no unexpected
defeat by indulging in other than basic
plays, and with the stronger eleven
won.
The game as whole was below the
standard of the past few years. The
tacklng was not as good, the charging
and blocking were superb at times. but
the general aspect of the conflict was not
such as to enthuse and interest especially.
and developed nothing that might be
classed above the ordinary, with the ex-
ception, Of course, Of Oliphantw remark.
able playing and tho pupting.
Evening star., 1915-11-28

While the Navy got away for gains
at times, the Army gained by far the
more ground. The number of first
downs for both eleyens was not large,
and had the Navy had much of an ad-
vantage in the punting duel it might
have won. The Army kicked great
deal on second or third downs, es-
pecially after 1t had gotten it's first
touchdown.
To judge by the team the Navy
placed against the Army today it is
building for the future. Many first-year
players took part In the contest, and it
seems to have been the aim of the
coaches to get together material from
which an eleven might be developed in
another year or so capable of showing
the power and drive that did Navy
elevens in years gone by.

The Navy's offense was more varied
than has been the case with the ma
ioritv Of its teams during the last five
Years. but it lacked the mechanical
nrecision that was evident in the plays
used nv the Army OF course, the Army
forwards were able to cover their
backs better on the running plays tnan
the Navy linemen. but even taxing
that into consideration the plays useo
by the Midshipmen were not as ma :
chinelike as those developed by the
west Point team.
The Army used one kind of forward
pass-a throw from the formation
from which the most OF It's plays were
to keep the Nays secondary derense
from closing up. 1t was evident from
the start that the Army had expected
the Navy to throw passes. as 1t played
five men in it's secondary defense and
the closest one to the line Of scrim- :
mage was six or seven feet back. The
Army got what it was looking for. too,
because the Navy threw the ball down
the field almost in every conceivable
way. 1t had long passes for thirty or
forty yards and short ones just over

down the center of the field, it drop

Navy man near. Oliphant started his
sprint to the right, and Umpire Fred
Murphy of Brown University started
to run farther to the right to get out
of the Army backs way. The farther
he ran the more II seemed that OIL

1t was less enthusia site crowd than
is usually present at the clashes between
the Army and Navy. 1t seemed to be
taken for granted before the start of the
game that the Army would win and
there is no doubt that it was much the
better eleven. Perhaps 1t was because
the Navy was behind from the start and
1t was apparently a fight by it against
odds, despite the close score, that there
was little enthusiasm. And maybe it
was the weather, the conditions being
about as poor for spectators as could be,
and it is little wonder that they felt not
much like cheering or enthusiastic de-
monstrations.
But nothing could quell the ardor of
the men from West Point and An
napols. Those boys sang and fought
the battle of songs and yells from op-
poste stands, and that was one COM
petition in which the Sailors at least
tied their opponents.

RHEUMATISM / MYSTERY

Some diseases give immunity from an.
other, attack but rheumatism works Just
the other way.
Every attack of rheumatism invites
another. Worse than that it reduces the
body's power so that each attack is worse
than the one before.
If any disease needs curing early it is
rheumatism but there is almost no dis
ease which physicians find more difficult
to treat successfully. When medicine
does help rheumatism nobody knows
how or why it does it.
All authorities agree that the blood be-
comes thin with alarming rapidity as
rheumatism develops. Maintaining the
quality of the blood therefore is reason
able way of preventing and combating
rheumatism. That it works out in fact
is shown by the beneficial results in the
treatment of rheumatism, acute, muscu-
lar and articular, with the blood tonic,
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
That hundreds who takeDr. Williams
Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well
is fact beyond dispute. That the rheu-
matism does not return as long as the
blood is kept rich and red is equally true.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co. j.,

let Building Up the Blood" and kindly

THE SMART FOOL.

Occasionally you meet man who is g
smart fool. The ordinary fool is dull,
and slow, and has the vacant stare which
distinguishes COW; but the Smart Foo
is noisy, and always trying to do big fool
things.
The smart fool occasionally makes a
fortune by means of some swindling
operation, but loses it all in a contest
with the postoffice department, and goes
to Jail.
The smart fool always has a following
and some times makes money, but he
always loses it; he may flourish for
awhile, and make people believe he is
able to do something for them, but they
always find him out, and he is always
punished; usually he goes to Jail.
A smart fool is as certainly fool as
the common fool, but more dangerous,
and more mischevous and more plausible.
