Miller Higgins, the new leader

but possessed such a keen men,

So the youth abandoned bats

town, near Cincinnati, and after

he was graduated with high hon

Later he was admitted to the

been recorded that Miller Hug

Huggins had made a reputation

GREAT VAL0R IN BATTLE
Colonial Soldiers of France Glad to

FRENCH FRONT. october You
white men are forced to fight; we are
volunteers" say proudly Frances colon
ial soldiers when they reply to ques-
,ions as to the reason for their coming
to Europe to fight. Whether they come
from Senegal. Madagascar or Somali-
land. all of them express gladness at
the opportunity to pay off old scores
for cruelties committed on their kin
dred in the German colonies IN Africa,
the news of which has been spread
among them from one end of the con-
tinent to the other by their mysterious
methods of communication. All of them
know of the fate of the Herrera ma
ton in German Southwest Africa, where
only a few wandering groups remain
alive of what once was a powerful ne
gro tribe.
Undoubtedly the most popular OF the
French colonial volunteers are the coal
black Senegalese. Their courage in the
field and their devotion to their white
officers have become proverbial. The
mentality of these tribesmen is almost
infantile in its simplicity, but they are
quick to learn. Their adaptability is
such in warlike matters that they have
become expert in very short time with
all the most modern weapons. Many of
them before coming to France have un-
dergone training in the colonies and
consequently are acquainted with Euro
pean drill and discipline. Others are
raw recruits, who are exercised first
when they reach French soil. The Gag
erness of all to acquire proficiency with
the new weapons is such that even in
their hours of rest in their instruction
camps they may be seen in groups ex-
ercising with them and repeating the

It is assured that the clubs of Boston
and the great lakes cities at any rate
could not afford to take chances on the
home weather. Those which naturally
would be most likely to consider training

cation ''farthest south" are those sof st.

OF these 1t can be said that at least o3e.
the local club. will not train at home.
II have not definitely settled upon
Augusta, Ga, as the training camp for
the washington club again next spring.
Manager Griffith said today. but as far
as l know at present We will return
there. However, if it is not Augusta it
probably will be some other town in the
south as there is very little likelihood
that the Nationals will train at home. l
think trip south is essential for the
proper conditioning of ball players. and
as far as the expense is concerned, it
would cost less to take them to Augusta
than to keep them here This may seem
odd. considering the railroad fare that
must be paid for the players. but it is a
fact nevertheless. owing to the much
higher cost of board and lodging here

probably it will have to work a little

Wake Forest and Maryland State are
to meet at College Park. Wake forest
probably will outweigh the State eleven

It would be hard to pick a more spec
tacular scholastic foot ball game than
that Of yesterday. Western and Tech
outdid each other in pulling of hair
raising stunts. 1t was but four min
utes after the start OF the contest that
Western broke down Techs defense
with ease and earned touchdown. The
machine-like precision with which
Western got off those first few plays
and carried the ball over made it ap-
pear that Tech was in for very good
drubbing. However. after the kick off
it was a different situation. A long run
by BoSley around right end put the
Manual Trainers within scoring dis
lance, and when they lined up on the
side of the field the ball was hurled
down to Clarke on a twenty-yard pass,
and he ran the seven yards remaining
between him and the goal. The kicking
Of the goal from touchdown tied the
score. Techs other two touchdowns
were made after breaks through the
line and long runs
One Of the most noticeable faults in
the defense of each team was the fail
ure Of the secondary backs to close up
fast enough after a man had driven his
way through the line of scrimmage.
Just one thing resulted from that-a
lot of gains for good distances which
should have been stopped with practical
ly no gain. Had the secondary backs
of the two teams closed in rapidly
when an opposing back broke his way
through the forwards there would have
been less long runs.
Adams Techs quarterback, came near
running a punt back for a touchdown
about the middle of the third quarter
He caught the ball on his own forty
yard line, and although three or four
Western men had their hands on him
in the first ten yards of his run he
shook loose and got a clear field. He
was not quite able to develop enough
speed, though, to hold his lead and
Simpson caught him and made clean
tackle about eighteen yards from West
terms goal line.
Tech has a pair of good halfbacks-
Herb Carpenter and Bosley. Both are
fast and are capable in carrying the
ball. Incidentally. the two youngsters
are intelligent way above the ordinary.
Myers, who is playing center for
Western, is a brother of Kendall Myers,
who starred at first base for Western

ton very creditably.

ALL SHOULD INVEST
MONEY in THE WAR
BY ROBERT II. YOUNG,

President District of Columbia
Amateur Base Ball AssOcia-
ton.
To my mind there are just two
main reasons why every Ameri-
cnn should invest money in lib
erty loan bonds:
First-It Is the duty and obli-
Eation of every American to sup
port his government in all the
undertakings of that govern
ment. whether they be right or
wrong. The government guar
anteeS everything to it's citizens,
and out of sheer gratitude, II
nothing else, every citizen IL
bound to the government by
solemn tie.
Second-Because of the psyche
logical effect. everybody should
become a financial investor in the
war. thus giving the whole people
n further Incentive for the sue
ceSsful prosecution of the war.
In other words, If the people all
invest their money In the war
they will want more than ever to
win.
