Gu. MAY PRACTICE
W|TRNAW ELEVEN
BrookIanders Trying to Ar
range Meeting With Sailors
for Next Wednesday.
M. S. C. TEAM PLAYS WELL
BY II. c. BYRD.

There is a strong probability that
Catholic University will play the Navy
a practice game next week. The man
agement of the Brooklanders commu-
nicated with the Midshipmen last week
relative to q CONTEST. during which the
coaches of both teams were to be al
lowed on the field. The Navy was
favorable to the proposition. and it
seems almost assured that the local
team will journey to the Maryland cap
i.al next Wednesday for q practice
which should prove of Nnch benefit to
both elevens Last year the c. U. shuad
met the Navy in just such a practice
and both teams derived much good
from the workout.
The Catholic University squad has
lost the services of one of it's most
valued players, Williams. the former
Fordham prep school back, having re-
turned to his home because of his ina
bility to arrange his studies suitably.
Williams will be a distinct loss, as last
season he was generally regarded as
the most capable plunging b..ck in
scholastic circles. There is a possi-
bility that MunhaIl, another back, will
not be able to devote a great deal of
his time to the sport, either, as he gets
out of classes late three evenings each
week. Just how the loss of these men
is going to affect the Brooklanders'
season is hard to foretell. There still

Hooper took advantage of this life and
singled into left field. He was, how
ever forced by Janvrin. who, in trying
to sacrifice. bunted to Cheney. forcing
Hooper at second. After Walker had
been thrown out by Olson at first, Hob
litzell bunted safely down the third
base line, and Cheney, getting the ball,
threw wild past Merkle, hitting the
runner in the back, and, of course. jan

Robinson followed the advice of his
many friends :nd pitched Jeff Pfeffer
Yesterday he would in all probability
have won the game from the Rostons,
for a two-run lead would in ali iikeli-
hood have been sufficient to give Pfeffar
a victory. But for some unaccountab.e
reason Robinson refused to work
Pfeffer and. instead, sent Marquafd to
the mound. MarQuard proved in the
second inning that it was not his day.
Pfeffer is more than an ordinary bat
ter, hitting a double against the right
field wall when ne finished fhe game
the dav before and held the Bos-
tons to no hits or runs and famed
three of them in two and twG-thirds
innings. This being true, he might
have come up at one of the several

The Maryland State College in many
ways made showing against the Mid
shipmen yesterday that was extremely
satisfactory. but from another stand
point there WAS much to be desired.
When 1t Is considered that 1t was the
first time the State eleven ever scored
on the Midshipmen and that It was
one of the few contests in which
smaller college has been able to play
the Navy almost on even terms, the re-
suit was not disappointment to the
followers of the College Park institu-
ton. However, when it is considered
that the Middies were fortunate to get
both their touchdowns, both being due
to breaks" to large extent, and that
the State team marched sixty-two
yards to Its only score by consistent
yards Of another and lost that by twice
having mix-up in the signals when
only one yard was left to go to make
first down in two attempts, things take
on a different aspect.
The Sailors kicked off and on the sec
ond play the state team fumbled. Navy
recovering the hall. A play around end
and another in the line failed to gain and
then forward pass was tried but block
ed. One of the halfbaeks who had been
eleven shifted in too close on what ap-
peared to be a dropkick formation, and
there was absolutely nobody even to touch
the man who received long forward
pass. He caught the ball and stepped
over the goal line. The other touchdown
for Navy was made after another sue
cessful forward pass. which placed the
ball within a few yards of the Maryland
goal. Navy failed three times to gain
in this position and then an overanxious
Maryland lineman was off side and pen
atty gave the Middies the ball within
three yards of the goal and first down.
They soon took 1t over from there.
Three former Washington high school
boys did some mighty creditable work
for the Maryland team. Derrick. who
took McConnelrs place at left half;
Oberlin. at left end. and Brewer. who
played right half after Michael was
shifted to fullback to take Brad1ey's
place when the latter was injured, were
in the fray for all they were worth at
all times. Brewer was the main ground
gamer on line .plunges and around the

FOURTH OF SERIES
WON BY RED SOX
Carrigan's Team Another
Notch Nearer World Base
Ball TitIe-Score, 6-2.

NEW YORK, october 12.-Though the
Leonard in the first inning, when the
locals hit him hard, Brooklyn did not
score thereafter, and the Red SoX won
by a score of 6 to yesterday in the
fourth game of the world series. 1t
was the third game of the series that
the Carrigan forces have won, and un-
less Pfeffer, who it was. believed would
be used yesterday. can turn trick for
Brooklyn today, the series Will end
with todays battle. in which Shore or
Ruth probably will be used by Boston.
Though the day was warmer and
more comfortable, the attendance was
much smaller than it was on the first
day here, when there were only few
over 1000 in the inelosure.,
When Brooklyn started the first in
ming by hammering Leonard and scor-
ing two runs, after Marquard had re-
tired the Red Sox in order and struck
out both Janvrin and Walker, ii looked
as il the former Giant star WIS at his
best and that he would. be able to win
with this lead. But that impression
was erroneous and short lived, for in
the very second inning "Rube" was hit
hard enough to convince any one but
Manager Robinson that it was not his
day. He started by walking HoblitZell,
and Lewis hit into left for a double.
He had two strikes and three balls
on Gardner and grooved a fast one, with
the result that Gardner hit the sphere
far over Myers head for an easy home
run. which gave the Bostons. three
runs and a one-run lead. There might
have been a chance 10 overcome this
short lead if a competent pitcher had
been substituted at this time for Mar
guard. but he was left in and by clean
hitting the Sox increased their lead to
two runs in the fourth, and then they
batted Cheney hard enough in the fifth
to get another count

The Fishing Season.

The Havre de Grace Republican
reports the fishing season just closed
as an Improbable one, the catch of
both shad and herring being consid-
erable less than last year.
The pack of herring in the head
watres Of the bay, will probably not
exceed 10000 to 10000 barrels,
considerably below that of former
years, when the pack was anywhere
from $4,000 to 10000 barrels.
There have been but few sales,
prices ranging from $500 to $500
barrel.
The catch of shad has been light
and his royal majesty may now be
included in the luxury class, along
with the canvasback duck; buck
shad are selling at 45 to SO cents
apiece, and roes at 80 cents.
The season of matching" at the
Battery, under the direction of Mr..
Stephen G.. Worth, of the. U. S. Fish
Commission, has also closed.
There are 100000 shad fry dis
tributed, while not great number,
compared with that of eight or ten
years ago, yet was much larger than
has been secured for the past several
years. These ''young shad" were
all set free in our own waters, in
this section, with the exception OF
about 100000, which we're liberated
at Delaware City.
The hatch of yellow and white
perch, was most excellent and ex-
ceeded last years output.

There was a good attendance and
those present, especially the ladies,

number of good poultry breeders at
Town Point and from the interest
exhibited Town Point will soon be
noted as the center of the chicken
industry of the county.

SHOOTS HIMSELF IN HEAD.
Financial Reyerses Lead To Rash
Act.


Daniel Baldwin, a well-known
Cecil countian, attempted suicide
Sunday morning at his home at Elk
Mills by shooting himself in the
head. Drs. Mitchell and Bratton
were summoned but they found that
he was beyond medical assistance.
He died about one o'clock the same
afternoon. Coroner Herbert d.
Litzenberg of Elkton held an in
quest, and verdict of suicide was
rendered. Financial trouble is be-
lieved to have caused Mr.. Baldwin
to end his life.
He was 62 years of age and son
of the late Daniel Lord Baldwin, one
of the wealthiest men in Cecil
in his day. At the elder Baldwin's
death, Daniel Baldwin was left two
large textile mills, about As houses
and 60O-acre farm at Elk Mills.
For the last year the mills have been
closed. This depressed Mr.. Baldwin
so that lately he had lost interest in
everything. Shortly after breakfast
Sunday morning he went to his room
and fired the shot that ended his
life.
