cinnati he felt 50 confident that he
would finish one. two, three in the Ma

on this proposition.
When McGraw saw himself losing
this amount during the Brooklyn series
he left the field and in his ire made the
remark that his players were laying
down to the Robinson team.
McGraw has always backed his judg-

Giants would be one, two, three in the
race. and his disappointment when he
saw his team slipping before the
Dodgers can be imagined.
Seeing the $4,000 slipping from his
grasp, McGraw lost his usual level head
and said things which any other man
experiencing similar disappointment
might have done.

WILL FIGHT OU|MET BAN
Woodland Club Letter States It Will
Take Case Before
u. S. G. A.

BOSTON, October 25.-The Woodland
Golf Club in a circular letter to clubs
that are active and allied members OF
the United States Golf Association an
nounced yesterday that it would bring be-
fore the annual meeting of the assocfa-
ton in January its fight for reinstate-
ment as amateurs of Francis Ouimet,
former national amateur champion: j. H.
Sullivan. jr.. and Paul Tewksbury.
These young men, members of the Wood
land club, were barred from participation
in tournaments az amateurs because of
their business connections
In its letter the club stated that many
clubs had offered to join in call for a
special meeting for consideration of our
appeal" but that it had concluded to
withhold a request for action until the
regular meeting
The clubs letter further states that
difficulties have arisen not under the
amateur definition itself, but out of "a
so-called Interpretation of the definition
made by the executive committee
ut seems plain. without argument, that
the Interpretation is broader than the
rule itself the letter continues. ITO il
lustrate. the committee holds that the rule
does not apply alike to all men. but that
the committee had discretionary power to
decide to whom it shall apply. Under the
power so assumed it has held that Mr..
Place. who desired to enter the athletic
goods business after winning a state
championship, was entitled to do so with
out impairing his standing.
at has also ruled that our Mr.. Sullivan,
who never attained the distinction of be-
ing a state champion. disqualified himself
by entering the same business on ac-
count of his eminence as player. 1t has
also held that Francis Ouimet. who
adopted the athletic goods business as A
vocation long before he acquired fame as
a golfer, who acquired his ability to play
the game without the slightest reference
to his occupation, who plays the game
for the love of it alone and never in any
way has played for the slightest money
consideration, must give up business or
remain barred as an amateur.
I THE committee may have explanations
Of the foregoing rulings which are I'M
known to us. We were never informed
of the charges in any way. In fact, when
the committee notified us that Our boys
had been disqualified we asked for a
statement of the charges and of the evil
dence, but our request has not been COM
piled with. We also applied to have our
membership in the United Golf Associa-
ton changed from allied to active The
application was denied without explana-
ton.
1--WE feel sure that either of our boys
ought not to be disqualified under the
Interpretation of the rule or that the in
depreciation is unwise and ought to be
revoked. For that reason we are arrang-
ing to have both matters brought up at
the same time"

WANTS NEW COMMISSION.
Dreyfuss Would Abolish Present
Supreme Body of Base Ball.

PITTSBURGH. October 25.-President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh base
ball club, who has become known as
opposing the present constitution of the
national commission. made public yes
terday his ideas of what and how the
commission should be constituted. and
is going to present his plan to the Ma
tional League at its next meeting. It
is this: so.
DO away with the present members
of the national commission entirely and
let the sixteen members of the two
leagues elect three men who have abso-'
lutely nothing TO do with any club or
league. one for three years, one for two
years and another for one year. and
thereafter elect one man each year Tor
three years., making the commission take

Ban Johnson Says Players Must Ex.
pect to Be Punished.

CHICAGO, October 25.-Despite the
protest of David l.. Fultz, president of
the Base Ball Players Fraternity,
against filming members for playing ext
hibition games after the close of the
season, it is declared today by B. B.
johnson, president of the American
League, that the guilty players prob
ably would have to contribute to the
trea sury of the national commi ssion.
Il do not care to enter into any
lengthy debate with Mr.. Fultz,' said
Mr. Johnson but as the players knew
they We're not permitted to play exhi-
bition games, they must expect to be
punished. Their contracts explicitly
state that they shall not engage in
any games outside of the regular
schedule after the season closes, and a
fine is provided by the rules of the
commission.

ball, ran to the 3-yard line before
being downed. There the game ended.
It was the opinion of everybody in the
stands that Virginia had narrowly
from the Crackers in the last two or
three seconds. However, Magoffln says
that, even if the ball had been placed
behind the goal line the touchdown
up the second before the ball was
snapped. So Virginia did not come as
near winning from Georgia last week
as it thought, and the great effort of
one of its players would have counted
for nothing.
The George Washington and Catho-
lie University elevens went through
half an hour of hard scrimmage prac-
tice yesterday afternoon. The coaches
did not get all their players on the
field until nearly sunset, and the re-
suits were not as good as might have
been because of lack of time. Also,
several of the regulars of both elevens
were not allowed to do much work be-
cause of bruises received in the hard
games of Saturday.
The defeats being sustained by Ted
Meredith in his races in Norway are
causing much surprise in this country.
1t has been believed that the great
Ted was more or less invincible, but
the victories obtained by several run
ners in the two Scandinavian countries
have started many to thinking that
the former Pennsylvania star has seen
the best of his running days. That
may be true, as there comes time in
every athletes life when he must be-
gin the down grade, but in Meredith s
case there is, perhaps, another reason.
The distance of the races lost by
Meredith, 1000 meters, are too long
for him to star. Meredith is at his
best from 400 to 500 meters. and any
afford him the best opportunity to do
his finest work.

golfers of the Piping Rock Club de-
feated the Englewood Country Clubs

the third match of the final round robin
for the association championship by the
overwhelming score of 8 to O. The
match was played on the links OF the
victorious four at Locust Valley, and.
with the ideal weather conditions
which prevailed, some excellent COM
petition was furnished in the course of
the four matches.
Especially was this true of the match
between Mrs. c. c. Auchincloss of Pip

wood. They played the entire course,
up to the final hole, practically on even
terms, so that when they did negotiate

There Is something in the mental and moIzl makeup
of the more progressive strains of the Aryan that
makes them resist authority of any kind, and while
this has in sense kept alive the soul OF democracy
IN the world with its hopes and promises OF political
