BY n. C.. BYRD.

Georgetown has the best running half
backs of all the foot ball teams in the
south. If there is any eleven which
can boast of men as capable as Gill
roy and McQuade it has yet to show
them in regular contest. These play
ers have starred in every game in
which they have taken part and their
ground gaining has been a feature of
every struggle.
The game yesterday at New York
against Fordham was not an excep-
ton. Gilroy and McQuade were re-
sponsible for the majority of gains, and
the successful forward passing done
by the Blue and Gray was the result
of heaves by Gilroy. Time after time
yesterday these two players got away
for runs ranging from to 25 or 80
yards. and at no time was Fordham
able to stop their rushes
Gilroy is plainly fast, lodging run

McQuade is not so much of a lodging
runner as Giiroy, but has exceptional
speed and is a much harder runner.
McQuade is something of line

around the ends.

LOOKS LIKE HICKEY.
Five Magnates Already Pledged to
Elect Him President.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November s.
American Association affairs came to
the forefront again when o. H. Wathen
owner of the Louisville club. confirme ed
reports that Thomas ]. Hickey of St
Paul had been in conference with him
Mr.. Hickey. it is understood, is the
choice of a majority in the American
Association as the successor of Presi-
dent Thomas Chivington. His visit to
Louisville came upon the heels Of the
presence, here of Joseph Cantillon, man
ager of the Minneapolis club, and Mi
chael Kelly, manager of the st. Paul
club.
1t was reported they had come to
Louisville to urge upon Mr.. Walthen.
the vice president of the league, the
calling of special league meeting, and
that he refused because Of belief that
such action would be unfair to Presi-
dent Chivington, who is in the south on
hunting trip.
"All three of US, however" Mr.. Can
tillon is reported to have said, ARE for
Hickey. So are Columbus and Milwau-
kee. Bresnahan pledged himself to
Hickey last summer, but l understand
vote for the retention of Chivington. If
he does. that will make the vote five to
three for Hickey.
When the time comes for the annual
meeting" Cantillon said. according to
3 report printed here, you will see Mr..
Hickey elected. There isn't a chance
for him to miss connection now, be-
cause five of us have pledged ourselves
to vote for him"
Mr.. Cantillon is reported to have said
that Mr.. Chivington was not to be re-
placed because he had not been a capa-
BILE executive, but because, in his judg
ment. Hickey would make a. better one.

lover of birds. heard a rustling in some
bushes nearby which he believed was
caused by Monaghan pheasant, a
rare and beautiful bird. The captain
decided he wanted the bird, dead or
alive, and so, hating the company, he
issued orders to that effect to the men.
They poked. their bayonets in the
bushes, and something leaped out 1t
was not a Monaghan pheasant. True,
1t might have been beautiful and rare
The boys did not look very closely. IN

treated in haste and disorder. The

Thomas Chivington. who for many
years has been president of the Ameri-
can Association, is; according to reports
coming from various cities of that
league. to have a successor elected at
the annual meeting, which will be held
in December.
Some of the club owners of the asso-
citation are in such a hurry to get rid of
Chivington that they have tried to pur-
suade Vice President Whalen to call a
special meeting. Mike Kelley of the
ST. Paul club and Joe Cantillon paid
WhaIen a visit at Louisville few days
ago. and it is likely that Chivington
will receive his walking papers before

He is said to have been selected.
however, to manage and preside over
the Kansas City club next season.
Bob" Hedges, former owner of the st.
Louis Browns. is said to have made
George Tebeau an offer for the Kansas
City club and that he will take care of
Chivington.
Max Carey. brilliant outfelder of the
Pittsburgh club, is to be traded or sold
before spring rolls around.
1t seems that Carey has gotten in bad
with President DreyfusS. The Pitts
burSh club insisted that it's players go
on transforming trip. because the
players were under contract until Oc-
tober Is. and DreyfuSS wanted them to
earn their money.
Carey insisted that the players should
get part of the receipts of the exhibit
ton games, which Dreyfuss, of course,
refused.
In fact, the transforming trip proved
loss to the club. for in addition to
paying the players their regular sal
aries the club stopped at the best ho-
tells and its expenses were far in ex-
cess of it's receipts.
Ban Johnson denied that he was re-
sponsible for Joe Lannin's retirement
from the Boston American League club.

CTIIVINGTON TO LOSE PLACE
AS HEAD OF A. A., REPORTS SAY
Successor Probably Will Be Elected at
Annual Meeting In December-Carey
to Leave Pittsburgh

He is quoted in the following state
ment:
TN announcing the sale of his fran
cHse Joe Lannin explained he was toe
much of fan to own ball club, but
that is not true President johnson
said. I'VE want fans in control of our
clubs. 1 learned with regret of Lam
n1n's determination to retire from the
game, to which he has been a credit.
If he had a fault it was due to in
experience in listening too much to the
managers and the players side OF the
game and to firebrands among the Bos-

changing his own innate sense of right
and wrong.
Il am seeking information now as to
whether or not the criticism from the
National League sources had anything
to do with Mr.. Lannin's decision to aell
his club, and If so it may not be too
late to retain him as a member of the
American League.
Nothing in this is any reflection
whatever on the men whom Mr.. Lannin
has interested in the club. Personally
l do not know any reason why they
would not be wholly acceptable if we
find Mr.. Lannin sincere and uninflu-
President John Tener admits the
weakness of the National League, when
compared to the American circuit.
Tener does not blame Wilbert Robin
son for the loss of the world series. but
he insists that the Brooklyn players
were inferior to those of the Red Sox.
The fielding, Mr.. Tener agrees, was
something awful, so far as the Dodgers
were concerned.
The head of the league, however, is
extremely optimistic and believes that
the teams of his league will be
strengthened sufficiently to put diff
ferent phase on the next world series.
Despite Weeghman's denial that
Frank Chance will be the manager
of the Cubs next season. there are those
in Chicago who insist that Chance has
affixed his John Hancock to Cub con-
tract for next season and that he will
be in charge of the team.
Weeghman is said to have reasons for
keeping the matter quiet.
