Rowland and Joe Tinker in the same
boat Both OF their heads are due TO

ing Kid Gleason as the most promi-
nent bidder for the managerial post

Their critics declare Rowland has
had two chances with one OF the
greatest teams the American League
ever saw. but they say he has failed
to make good. They have entirely
overlooked the fact that Eddie Collins
slumped In his hitting and that Red
Faber was taken IN at a point where
his work would have done the most
good
Rowland deserves some commenda-
ton for the fight he has made with
his team. even II he didn't send Il

Clarence Rowland manager OF the
Chicago White Sox is an unenvied
man. He stands today the topic of
knockers. the undeserving recipient
OF derision from a bevy Of Chicago
fans.
And Rowland's position is a peculiar
one. He could have done nothing 70
correct II. even II he had won a pen
nant for the White Sox. The credit
would not have been his. The Chicago
fans. much the same as any other
species OF fans. would have placed the
crown on the brow Of another, and
would have refused TO see It alight
elsewhere.
Rowland started this season with a
club acknowledged TO be strong
enough. on paper. to walk away with
the American League championship.
But he struggled In the paths of sec
ond' third, and even fourth place the
most OF the season. For short
time he had his team out i'm front.
and then began TO falter.
When the crack appeared In the
drive OF his men, Charles Comiskey
sent out a rush order for Kid Gleason
TO report. The kid did report. and
the White Sox Immediately began TO
come back The result was that Glea-
son was given the credit. No matter
II IL was Rowland's efforts which had
elevated the Sox into their final
chance at the pennant, Rowland

THE SHOOTING FIELD

Successfully repulsing the invasion
OF the Wilmington marksmen at Rox-
borough Saturday afternoon, the Glen
Willow gunners furnished the biggest
surprise of the opening of the Phila-
delphia Trapshooters' League. Think
ing they would have a soft job or IT,
only picked number of the Delawar-
cans made the trip. while the defend
ers met them with more than twice as
many men,
Only eight targets separated the
teams, and IL was not until the last
two men had ceased firing that the
winner became known. The resident
marksmen ran up a total Of 447, while
their opponents best efforts Melted
439. Soon after noon the invasion be-
gan in automobiles. and from the
marks made by the first squad 1t
looked as though the old DUPONT Club
would walk away with the event But
the longer the shoot progressed the
more endorsements the defenders re-
ceived. and It was due 70 the late arri-
val of several of their big guns thaI
the tide Of battle was turned.

The victors had five men on their
team with less than half-dozen
misses. and took in 43s. while Their
opponents had only a quartet OF men
with less than six misses, and were
forced to go down as far as 80 TO
make up their 10 select.
Following the league shoot a spe-

Delaware DROPS
FIRST Home CAME
Showing of Blue and Gold
Against Western Maryland
Was Disappointment
VISITORS PLAYED
BEST BALL AND WON

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Oct. 16.-The playing of
the Delaware College football team
against Western Maryland on Satur-
day was disappointment to the many
friends OF old Delaware. the visitors
winning the game by the score Of 16
to Q. Those who saw both the open
ing game against p. NJ. G. and last
Saturdays contest say the team on
Saturday looked like a different ag-
gregation entirely.
AT Chester the team showed spirit
and pep" and fought every minute
from the sound OF the referees whis-
tie. There was also a lack of spirit in
the work OF the Blue and Gold play
ers. At short intervals they showed
some sign OF the fighting spirit that
| landed them victory over p. NJ. c.,
but this only lasted a few seconds.
They not only failed to play consistent
| football, but were noticeably weak in
several departments. The line failed
to hold the rushes OF the Western
Maryland backs, and Il was the line
that those who had seen the team in
action had been counting on. The
backfield men were slow in getting
started on their plays and failed to
pick holes with any consistency. An
other bad feature OF the game from
the Delaware standpoint was the
many fumbles at critical stages
These fumbles prevented what few
chances the Blue and Gold had OF
scoring and were responsible for at
least one of Western Maryland
touchdOWnE
While Delaware played poor game
the work OF the visitors was just the
reverse. They played consistent foot
ball and took advantage Of every op-
portunity. Western Maryland out
played Delaware at every stage They
went through the line apparently easy
at times. and other times the home
eleven showed flashes Of class and
would hold. Garrett, as we'll as the
other Western Maryland backheld
men. played a star game.
Delaware managed TO hold Western
Maryland scoreless in the first period
but in the second Keller kicked a
goal from the 35-yard line. and there
was never any doubt OF the winner
after that. In the same quarter VOL
ford, after Western Maryland haC
taken the ball TO Delaware's 5-yar'
line. took il over for a touchdown
Garrett kicked the goal and the hal
ended with the score 10 to 0. Western
