There is a possibility that George
town will play Brown University this
fall in a post-season game. Charley
Cox, graduate manager of athletics OF
Georgetown, has taken the matter up
with those in charge at Brown and has
made considerable progress with the
proposition. The game, If it Is played,
will take place Saturday, December 2,
in Boston.
It is understood that Brown does not
raise objection to playing the game.
other than that it does not relish such
a difficult contest two days after Its
scheduled Thanksgiving day struggle
with Colgate at Providence. If this OBJ
lection can be overcome there is strong
possibility that the contest may take
place. Georgetown is not worrying
about its battle with George Washing
ton, as it probably will not be compell-
ed to use it's regulars in that any
longer than the first period.
Georgetown is planning for five big
games on its gridiron schedule. next
fall. 1t has almost reached definite
agreement with the University Of
and. besides that. will play three other
big teams it met this season-Navy,
Dartmouth and Fordham. The other
new institution likely to appear on the
Blue and Gray schedule is Tufts. II
Tufts could be brought to Washington
for a contest the. game would be quite
drawing card. though 1t probably
would be worth more in Boston. AS
matter of fact, Georgetown has been
seeking a game in Boston for some
time, and Tufts may be the team which
will oppose it next fall in that city.
With EXendine coaching Georgetown.
and Warner. his former coach, in
charge at Pittsburgh, quite an inter-
esting struggle should develop in case
G. U. plays IN the Pennsylvania town.
Also. Georgetown ought to be a big
drawing card there in view of it's sue
cess this season.

gagged in struggle at Cambridge

as one of the closest of all those that

NEW YORK, November 11-When
the National League meets the boa d

case NlcGlaw charged that his men
played Indifferent ball against the
brooklyn team, just before the sea

McGraw is anxious to testify at this
meeting. which will be held Decembe,
H. at New York.
Here is a story which explains why
McGraw lost his head and made tn.
charges which got him into trouble
After the Giants had been white
washed by the Brooklyns. to .. on
October - with Coombs outpitchin:
Schupn. McGraw returned to the Hotel
Imperial for dinner. Late that evening
he received telegram collect $lJo-
from a man in Texas who signed his
name and address. The telegram read
as follows:
IF you intend to throw all of the
games to Brooklyn wire me at once so
that l can get in on 1t here"'
McGraw fairly burned up when he
read the dispatch. He showed it to
several friends and remarked that he

that Coumbs had beaten the Giants on
the level that day made matters worse.
for McGraw realized that skeptics
would refuse to accept an honest de-
feat McGraw. therefore. went over to
brooklyn the following day determin
ed to put a stop to the work of scandal

was the last straw and probably made
the Giants leader lose control Of his
temper when he realized the result OF
another defeat.

the breaks during the next campaign
1t ought to win the National League
pennant In common canter, for it
seems to have much more class than
liant pitching staff. a great infield and
an outf1eld which can hit the pill.
II it wins the flag there will be q
real contest in the world series. when
Giants will meet. This pair would
furnish a caliber OF game better than
that displayed in the big series for
some years. The Giants must not be
held lightly. 1t is a team which has
good system of play and is full of
strength. OF course. 1t would be up
against the strongest opponent Of the
year. but 1t would stand a good chance
Of acquitting itself well.
While George Mcbride hit for only
224 last season there were sixty ball
PLAYERS in the league who finished be-
low him. Mcbride made los hits dur
in~ the nason and many of these were
timely. Those under him are players
like Janvrin. Witt. Austin and many
fielders, so that Mcbride need have no
regrets
As a fielder the official averages will
show that he has no equal in the Amer
lean League. nor in the National Tor
that matter. Mcbride always has
youngsters working for his job in the
spring, but when the season opens he
goes to short field and stays there. for
he is one of the players who. though he
covers the bag most of the time. seldom
gets injured and is particularly clever
in touching base runners. regardless OF
where the ball is thrown. 1t is because
of this fact that anv sort of a catcher
looks good with Mcbride covering the
bag.
There is not a chance of Fielder
Jones getNng Eddie Foster. If ever a
ba'l PLAYER was certain of his job. it is
the Griffmen's second base star. for his
work last season was nothing short of
remarkable. he easily outplaving every
one of the players who occupied that
position in the league. not barring Eddie
Collins. who had the reputation of
being head and shoulders over all sec
ond basemen two years ago. before
Foster was sent to that position But
last season Collins played rather poor
ly. and he also fell down in his hitting
considerably. Foster was late getting
started with the bat. but hit exceeding
" well during the last fews weeks of
the season.
the fact that George Sisler proved to
be one of the best players in the Amer
ican League last season. hitting timely
and showing brilliant speed on the
bases. he did not hit as well as player
of his ability should. His average was
only .2SS, and he was not prominent
among the base stealers, though he is
one OF the fastest men in the game. He
stole only eleven sacks during the en-
tire season.
He is far behind Ty Cobb as a ball
player. for Tyrus hit 1856 and stole six
ty-seyen bases. leading the league in
this respect. Speaker was the only
player to beat him in batting

of the score. Just what Browns de-
cfsive win means is yet to be made
known. Without meaning to detract in
any way from the fine showing of the
Brunonians. 1t may have been that Yale
played several substitutes and did not
have Its full strength on the field. 1t
Is customary for Yale and Harvard to
send second-string men into games

that some of the regulars may visit the
games between rival teams to get
line on their style of play and see the
teams they are to meet in action before
they face them on the gridiron in
