BALTIMORE TEAM IS
EASY FOR INDIANS"
Mohawks Swamp Wilkens A. c. Team.
90 to 0-Hager and Boyer Star.

Through the fleetfootedness of the Mo-
hawk Athletic Clubs back field and the
brilliant defense showed by its forward,
the Indians" yesterday easily swampee
the Wilkens Athletic Club from Balti-
more, by SO to 0, on the grounds at Seven
teenth and D streets southeast.
The visitors were hopelessIy outclassed
from the first whistle to the final call
for time, and registered but one first
down during the A minutes of playing
this coming by the aerial route.
The fast charging plays used by the
Indians" paved the way for the large
score, as Boyer and Hager, time and
again, circled the ends for long gains. At
no time during the contest did the Balti-
moreans reach midfield, while Hager
out-booted Considine on every exchange.
On two occasions George Boyer ran
through the entire Wilkens team on the
kickoff for touchdowns, while Hager
gathered in two long hikes of ~ and 70
yards, for tallies. Coach Turner used the
entire squad in this contest.
The Wilkens eleven was a disappoint-
ment to the large crowd present, as they
came here touted as the best independent
club in Baltimore. II there was any Diff

their line shift plays and of tackle

NTERCITY BILLIARD
MATCH IS ARRANGED
Capital GUESTS to Meet Oriole Players
for Title.

Frank Sherman, proprietor of the Royal
Billiard Parlors, announces that he has
completed arrangements with John Cline
of Baltimore. for the staging of the inter
city championships at both billiards and
pocket billiards, which has been hanging
fire for some time
Starting December 9. Charles Bartelmes,
acknowledged peer OF local pocket bill
liardist, will meet E. J. Stoddard Of Bal
umore, for the intercity title. The match
between Bartelmes and Stoddard, ac-
cording to the agreement calls for 900
points. 500 to be played in the Oriole City
and 900 in the National Capital and that
l25 points are to be played each week
This will mean that these two players
will meet upon no less than eight oc-
casions, or one night each week for eight
weeks, alternating first in Baltimore,
then here
In the 1872 championship held in Balti-
more week before last, F. H Linhard dis
posed of his strongest challenger, H. E.
Crook and it is almost a certainty that
he will represent Baltimore in the carom
match Mr.. Sherman further stated that
1t Is his intention OF holding an elimina-
ton tournament starting next week to de-
termine the Washingtonian to meet Lin
hard.
Among those who In all probability will
enter the local tournament in an endeavor
to have the honor of representing this
city for the title will be such players as

TWO MORE DAYS OF
RACING AT laurel
Canvas Back Handicap Will Be Run
at Park Today.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.


The Laurel Park meeting comes to an
end Tuesday after one Of the most sue
cessful meetings ever held in Maryland
The attendance has been larger this year
than ever before In the history Of racing
in Maryland. The highest class horses
in this country have been sent to the
barrier during this meeting. in fact a
much better lot of horses than were seen
at the Metropolitan tracks this spring.
There are two more days left of this
meeting. Today the Canvas Back Han
that of enclosing the grand stand with
dicap will be run. This should be a
good race, as there are several horses
of high class entered for this contest.
The card offered for today includes
two long distance races, one steeple-
chase and four of the shorter variety.
The fields are we'll balanced, and good
racing should result therefrom.
Already many owners are shipping
their stables to the Bowie course. which
follows the Pimlico meeting. This is
being done in order to give their horses
a chance to rest up so as to be in fit
condition for the Bowie meeting. Cen
eral Manager O'Hara is very enthusiastic
about his forthcoming meeting as he be-
lieves it will eclipse anything ever held
in these parts. Many improvements have
been made at the Bowie course, especially
that of enclosing the grandstand with
glass windows so in case of rain the pub
lie will be well protected Supt. Pending
has the course in fine shape. and racing
could go ahead tomorrow II necessary.

He became just as much Of a student
OF trapshooting as baseball. He became
interested in the sport, then a devotee,
and then decided that he wanted to know
just how to break 'em all the time. Mat
ty talked with the cracks that it was his
pleasure to meet and all of them supplied
him with good advice, and as he made
the rounds from Richmond to Omaha and
back to Boston he picked up something
in every city.
Matty' was very frank in saying that
his eyes were opened to the realization
Of the widespread interest in trapshoot-
Ing. He never thought 1t was such a
good sport or that so many people were
interested in 1t. Since the trapshooting
trip Mathewson has invaded the fields,
too, and with Frank Stevens went into
the North Carolina woods for ten days
last winter.
Good baseball players as a rule make
excellent trap shots. It is an accepted
fact that it requires the same eoncen-
tration, the same ''pilot eyes," the same
acting in unison of the eye, brain and
nerves to become a successful baseball
player that 1t does to become an expert
trapshooter, and in either sport II re-
ouires practice to become a leader.

RACES TO START At.
PIMLICO WEDNESDAY
Eleven-Day Meet to Be Held by Mary
land Jockey Club.

Next Wednesday the racing scene will
shift from Laurel Park to old Pimlico,
the home Of the Maryland Jockey Club
which is Baltimore's own race course,
and which sees the elite of the social
world in attendance. Since last spring
many improvements have been made at
Pimlico
new clubhouse for members has been
built adjoining the grand stand, and this
Is said to be the finest appointed club
house OF any in the East. The furnish
ings are magnificent, 1t is said There
are numerous rooms fitted sumptuously
In various color schemes and everything
has been provided for the comfort of the
club members and their guests
new office building and jockeys quar-
ters have been erected and the grand
stand has been moved back thirty-five
feet and placed at an angle to give the
spectators in every part Of the stand op-
portunity to view the races The infield
hill also has been leveled. A cement
walk leading from the junction of Park
avenue and Belvidere avenue has been
bles have been built with. every accom-
mOdation for horsemen and numerous
other improvements made.
There will be eleven days Of racing
from Wednesday, November /, to Mon
day, the 18th. The association has been
more liberal in Its purses than any other
association in Maryland, and has set a
pace that 1t will be hard for the other
clubs to follow. There will be no purse
less than 800, and the stakes will av-
erage in value from 81, 900 added to S, 0OO
The Manly Memorial Steeplechase will
be the richest stake Of the meeting, to be
run on election day. This will have
5000 In added money, which will make
the race worth more than that sum to the
winner. Every good jumper In the coun-
try has been entered in this race, and the
contest is sure to be the greatest steeple-
chase OF the year. The Bowie Handicap
for 3-year-olds and upward will be the
big race for the plate runners.
This year the Bowie will have 49,
added money and it has attracted a splen-
did field Of distance racers, including A.
K. McComber's great horse Boots, which
will be sent back from Kentucky to run
in the race. Short Grass, Emil Herzs
wonderful imported horse, is also an
entry.

ed, August Hermann, chairman of the

ORGANIZED BASEBALL
TALKING To BE HEARD
Word War Between Presidents Need
Not Be Taken Seriously.

Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. 29.-Since the
collapse of the Federal League organ
lied baseball finds It more difficult to
maintain perfect harmony within its
ranks. Things that could readily be
overlooked so long as the big leagues
had mutual enemy stand out in bold
relief and seem greater now that money
making is the main thought, with no
common ground for action without
rivalry. Every club owner in the Ma
tional and American League considers
that the time has come for getting even
Cor losses sustained during the two years
baseball war and the ball players who,
Whiis looking to their own interests, in
a7v way added to the difficulties in bat
Ting the independent organization, must
IUJR ter no faVOrs now. Many stars Sc
cured long-term contracts, but most OF
them expired with the close Of the past
season, and now the noguls look to have
an inning Of their own. The day Of
unreasonably high salaries is past and
some owners are even ready and anx-
iOus to knock out the national agree
ment and start baseball all over again
under new conditions. The National
Commission, composed of the presidents
OF the two big leagues, with Garry
Hermann, Of the Cincinnati club. as
chairman, has not given satisfaction at
all Of late, and such an astute club
p"ltcE - barney DreyIuS, OF H1ttSDurgn,
declares that 1t has outlived its useful
ness. While its membership Is two to
one in favor of the National League, it
has frequently been declared that IT has
always been favored with too much
johnson, and that satisfactory results can
never be looked for until the ruling
power in baseball is placed In the hands
OF competent men who have no special
interest In any club or any league
The Ofr-color happenings that marked
the closing game of the past season set
tongues to wagging, with the result that
the perfect harmony that has marked
the intercourse between the National and
American leagues Of late years is notice
able by its absence, while Ban Johnson
and John Tener are beginning to say
things about each other in tones which
friends should not use. Ban crftlcises
John for not calling McGraw to account
Tor the statements made when the lat
ter quit the Giants bench during the
lay-dOwn series with the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, and Tener comes back at Johnson for
not dtsciplining Lannin when the latter
declared that the American League UNI
ptres were trying to rob his Red Sox
Of the Pennant. This war talk between
rival presidents OF the two big leagues
cOnVinces many that Dreyfuss may be
right when he says that organized base
hall needs Overhauling in order to bring
II up TO date. However, those familiar
with the methods Of some Of the big men
In baseball are inclined to look beyond
the surface in considering the threaten
ed rupture between the leaders of the
two big leagues Johnson has ever been
dlctatOrial in his dealings with the Ma
uonal, and before Tener took command
was apparently on the brink OF breaking
cf diplomatic relations. He may now
consider It for the best interests Of the
game to resume this public appearance
OF bitter rivalry.
