LEONARD WALKS OFF
WITH REAL GOLD MINE

Benny Leonard. lightweight cham
pion of the world, is no thief.
A local hotel proprietor and the po-
lice department were sure that some
one connected with the Leonard party,
who visited here Thursday to give an
exhibition to the soldiers and sailors,
had pulled the old hotel suitcase act
on them in a very neat manner.
In Leonard's hustle to make the Z
o'clock train for New York he picked
UP the wrong grip and did not dis
cover his mistake until he was well
on his way North. In explaining the
mistake to a New York writer yester-
day Billy Gibson said:
Shortly after our train left the
Capital Benny opened what he thought
was his suit case to get something.
The bag belonged to a miner, and was
filled with nuggets Of gold, a lot of
deeds to mines in Alaska and 1t held
a pair of Sold-backed brushes.
I'VE called the hotel by phone, told
them we had some ones grip and de-
scribed the contents. There was a
miner running about that hotel with a
forty-f1ve that he threatened to turn
loose if his grip were not found. He
talked to Leonard on the phone and is
going to name mine after Benny"

SENDS SCORES TO
INVALID BY CARRIERS

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-THE champion
baseball fans are two-Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Legien, of Atlanta. Ga. I'm
til two years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Legien
never missed a game.
Then came tragedy-Mrs. Legien
became i'll. On recovery she found
she would be practically an invalid
for life. No more baseball games
for the wife; husband went alone
and she had to wait until hours after
ward to find out who won, for the
Legiens live ten miles from the park.
Such a pathetic state of affairs
could not endure. At the beginning
of the present season Legien trained
flock Of carrier pigeons. And now
every afternoon at the game this is
what you see:
John H. Legien, sitting in the grand
stand with a box of nine homers.
At the end of every inning-unless
the game goes ten innings, in which
case he holds pigeon No. she writes
the score on a slip of paper. sticks
1t beneath the leg ring of the bird
and lets him fly. High above the
diamond the homer circles and then
-bang,-he is OF on a dead line to
the south. Four minutes later Mrs.
Legien, resting on her front porch,
takes the fiuttering bird from her
shoulder and puts 1t in its box.
But first she extracts that bit of
paper from the leg ring.
"Hurrayi" she says. Two to one
in the seventh"

MOHAWKS WILL PUT
GRID team in field
Southeast Clubmen Agree to Play
Football-Omeara Cap
tain of lean.

The Mohawk Athletic Club. one of
the leading athletic organizations in
this vicinity. will put football team
on the field this fall. The Indians"
last season won the independent
championship of the District after one
of the most gruelling campaigns that
ever any of the local independent
teams was compelled to go through.
Shortly after President Wilson had
issued the ''call-to-arms" the mem
bers of the Mohawk Club decided to
call off athletics for the duration of
the war and did not enter a baseball
team In the independent or leagues
ranks this summer. Football has al
ways been the leading sport OF the
southeast clubmen and at a meeting
last night the question OF placing a
team on the gridiron this fall was
carried unanimously.
Hobby" O'Meara was elected cap
tain of the eleven at the banquet OF
the football team last fall, and r. Z.
White was named as manager. Both
O'Meara and White are already work.
ing up plans for a crack-a-jack eleven,
and expect to have their candidates
for the team out for practice within
the next three weeks.
Although the southeast clubmen
were handed quite a jolt by many of
their leading athletes answering the
call of enlistment, plenty Of material
still remains in their ranks to turn
out a good eleven. Josh" Licaroni,
who made history while playing under
the colors of the Vigilant Athletic
Club and who coached the Indians"
in 1915, has been appointed to coach
the team this season.

CORNELL STATES ITS
POLICY FOR SPORTS
Proposes to Broaden Scope of Ath-
letics in Every Branch.

Ithaca, n. Y, Aug. H.-Cornelrs at
titude toward intercollegiate athletics
and the policy to be pursued during
the coming year are outlined in the
official statement issued by the ath-
letic association today, which says, in
part, as follows:
The fundamental principle that will
govern Cornelrs policy in athletics
next year will be to broaden, as far
as possible. the scope of every branch
of sport so that larger number of
men than ever before may receive the
benefits of physical training and dis
cipline derived from participation in
athletic contests. For years Cornell
has consistently sought to encourage
general participation among the stu
dents in all branches of sport, with
the result that approximately half of
the undergraduates have taken part
in some form of athletics, and it will
now be the aim to give every student
an opportunity of participating in
some form of athletic exercise. This
will be the spirit in which all varsity
athletics will be carried on in the
future.
This policy conforms with the
recommendations of the National Col
legiate Association and the advice
given by Secretary of War Baker. In
tercollegiate contests at Cornell will
be conducted in accordance with the
resolutions adopted by the associa-
tion, the freshman rule will be kept,
the usual early season practice for
football will be eliminated, no appro-
priation will be made for training
tables. and all expenses will be elm
mated that are not absolutely neces-
sary, and it is the intention of the
athletic council to make such changes
permanent as far as possible.
The War Department has detailed
Lieut.. Col. F. A. Barton as command
ant of the Cornell Reserve Officers
Training Corps. and all freshmen and
sophomores will be required to drill
as In the past. However. no excuses
from military training will be granted
on account of athletics, as has been
the custom. Upper classmen who can
meet army requirements may take
voluntary military training in the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps, and
upon completing the course are given
commissions in the Officers Reserve
Corps.
Jack Moakley and AL Sharpe. the
coaches OF the varsity teams, will aid
in every way possible the carrying
out of the sove policy. and CornelTs
athletic plant is well adapted to this
program.

JOHNSON WILL FACE
TIGERS CLUB TODAY
Nationals Are Leading Series with
Jungaleers on Detroit Grounds.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 17.-Manager
Griffith announces that Walter John
son will pitch Saturdays game. Usu-
ally it has been the "Old Fox's" Gus
tom to save the big star for the Sab
bath contest if he has one booked here,
but this time he is going to lead his
ace in the second game of the series.
Walter has now won seven straight
and Grifr says he never was better in
his life.
Ty Cobb. is very lame as a result of
sliding sore on one OF his legs, and
it is painful for him to move around.
He will remain in the game, how
ever, unless his troubles are worse.
Ehmke will probably work for the
Tigers tomorrow. He was beaten by
the Nationals last time out and is
anxious to avenge himself.
The Nationals already have won the
seasons series on this field, taking six
of the nine games played up to date.
Two more remain to be decided and
even if the Tigers get both they will
be one behind.
An unusually large percentage OF
the hits made in this game were
scratchy and the official scorer was
charitable on several occasions.
aSnlnSIOn nau u CndnCt 10 pun d
double play in the sixth when Witt
hit a liner into Morgan's hands with
two men on. Ray muffed the ball,
however, and only one man was re-
tired
This game was one Of the worst
played by the Tigers this season, and
| it disgusted some of their warmest
admirers to see a victory tossed off by
| bad Judgment.
Dauss is charged with the defeat
as the tieing and winning runs were
on the bases when he retired. Gallia
gets credits for the victory.
Detroit had a good chance to score
\ in the first inning but was made
the victim of a peculiar double play
| Bush and Witt walked and Cobb hit
one that came to rest in front of the
plate. Ainsmith picked the ball up
and threw DOME out at third and
Cobb who had thought it a foul and
| hadn't run, was easily doubled by
Fosters throw to first.
Veach took sure double and pos
| sible triple away from Milan in the
eighth by a nice-running catch over
in center field. Bob covered lot of
ground to get to the drive and judged
] it beautifully.

WILL MAKE PLANS To
PLAY AMATEUR Series
Meeting to Be Held Tuesday Night.
Maroons and Truxtons to Play.

A meeting is scheduled to be held
on Tuesday night at $3.50 p. m, at
the office of the sporting editor of
The Washington Herald, to make
arrangements for the playing of an
amateur post-season series between
the winners of the championships
in the Rosedale League, Terminal r.
r. Y. NJ. c. A. League and the Capt.
tai City League.
AS the Amateur Association has
not organized this season the anna
teurs have been without e govern
ing body all season and it is now
up to the presidents of the various
organizations to make plans for the
series. The winners in the Terminal
r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. League will no
doubt be declared on Monday even
ing after the Shops-General Office
game, while TruXtons have already
been awarded the title in the Capt.
tai City League.
The Maroon club and the Trux-
ton club have one more game to
play in the Rosedale League, this
being carded for Tuesday evening.
Truxtons protested a game played
on August 4, and the managers of
the clubs agreed last night to play
this game over. Should TruXtons
win this game 1t will be necessary
to play a three-game series to de-
eide the winner of the second half
in that circuit, and should they
win this series the Maroons would
still have a chance for their white
alley" as it would take another
three-game series to decide the win
ner for the season, as Maroons cap
tured the championship in the first
series.
The naming of the grounds and
the selection of umpires for the
series will be named at this meet
ing Tuesday night.

Griffmen Rally in Ninth
And Defeat the Jungaleers
Nationals Push Four Tallies
Across and Put Game Be-
Nyond Tigers Reach.

Detroit. Mich, Aug. 1T.-By means
OF fine rally in the ninth inning.
which netted four runs, the Nationals
beat Detroit today, 3 to 8. Going into
the ninth the visitors were one to tho
bad. but they went to work in earnest
in this frame and stole the victory
right under the Tigers noses.
Judge and Shanks were passed tU
start the big blow OF, and then Dauss,
who had been staggering for some
time. was removed in favor OF Ehmke.
Milan bunted perfectly and beat
Ehmke's throw which was wide of
the mark, Judge scoring and Shanks'
taking third. Rice hit through Young.
scoring Howard, and putting Milan
on third. Foster grounded to Burns,
who went to sleep on the job. and let
Milans score right before his eyes
while he was retiring Eddie. Rice
moved to third on a wild pitch, and
scored on Menoskey's infeld hit after
Morgan had famed. Ainsmith ended
the rally by flying to Stanage.
The Nationals appeared to be out Of
It toward the middle of the game.
They had a lead of two runs in the
fourth, but Detroit drove Harper off
the mound in this inning, scoring four
on a pass, three singles. double and
Doc" Ayers wild throw to first after
he had relieved Harry. The home
club picked up one more in the fifth
and still another in the sixth by timely
hitting.
The Nationals got one in the sixth
by means of two hits and a sacrifice
fly and two more in the eighth on
passes to Rice and Morgan, and hits
by Foster and Ainsmith.
In order to get some pinch hitters
into the game. Ayers was removed in
the seventh and Du Mont also was
excused after one inning. Detroit had
no chance to score after the sixth. Du
Mont and Gallia pitching excellent
ball Bert passed two men in the
ninth. but curbed the rally before II
had assumed very serious proportions.
The contest was devoid of fielding
features. and was played in the ninth
with their big uprising. Dauss' wild
ness was very costly. as five of the
Nationals that scored reach first
by walking. This same fault got Har-
per into all his trouble. The Wash
ington lsft-hander passed six men in
less than four innings, and when he
eased up in an effort to gain control,
was thumped. Ty Cobb, who is nurs-
ing a bad sliding sore, quit the battle
after the sixth inning. He is very
lame and as the game seemed to be
won at that time was ordered to rest.
