Camp Sherman
Loses to Team
From W. andJ.

TOLEDO. Ohio, Dec. 1.-The Wash
rngton and jefferson eleven defeated
the Camp Sherman football team at
Swayne Field this afternoon by the
close score of z to 0. The game was
hard fought from start to finish and
was witnessed by 1000 rooters.
The Camp Sherman stars had sew
eral chances to score, but each time
the W. and ]. line would take a brace
and get the ball on downs. The main
feature of the game was thrilling
forward pass executed by the Camp
Sherman boys in the fourth quarter,
Roudebush to Rupp. the wonderful
halfback making a sensational run to
the w. and j. 17-yard line before be-
ing downed.
The play so elated the spectators
that they encroached on the field and
several platoons of the soldiers were
used to keep the people back. Once
more Rupp took the ball and wriggled
through TO the S-yard mark Eichen-
lduD maze IL UTsL uOWll OH tIe o-S al VI
line. Roudebush made a half yard
through centre. Eichenlaub failed TO
gain through Guy. Rupp tried the
right end, but was thrown for three
yard loss.
Foot From Touchdown
A forward pass on the fourth down,
Rupp to Roudebush, apparently earned
a touchdown, but Roudebush went out
side foot from the goal line. 1t was
". and Us ball foot from the line.
McCreight kicked 10 Overbaugh, who
returned the ball to the centre Of the
field.
W. and J. scored the only points Of
the game in the second quarter. Sc
curing the ball on an exchange OF
kicks in the middle Of the field, the
college team started a march down the
field, and carried the ball TO the Camp
sherman 5-yard line. where q tumble
threatened to upset the w. and j.
strategy. Tressel recovered the ball
back of the goal line, but W. and j..
was offside and the ball was brought
back.
Then W. and J. resumed its march
and Captain McCreight dived through
the line for touchdown. McCreight
punted out and then kicked goal.

in favor of the American League by
utilizing the Baltimore park for Sun
day games, either for the Washington
or Philadelphia clubs. If the lnterna-
tional League operates in 1918 it would
be an easy matter to frame a schedule
that would prevent Sunday conflicts
Between the Orioles and their Amer
lean League neighbors.
1t seems that Ban Johnson is prac-
tically resigned to the 154-game sched-
ule for 1918. For many years he has
advocated a draft of 140 battles, so
that the majors might commence oper-
atoms some week or ten days later
than usual and finish equally early. In
other words, he would compress into
five and a hale months the usual six
months play.
For a time the National League
favored this plan. But an early an
Johnson's office soured the magnates
of the parent major and they prompt
ly repudiated the plan. The National
League has let it be known that it will
hold to the old course. II the National
votes for 154 games the American
League must follow suit as a matter of
self-protection.
Fate OF International
The fate of the international League
rests in its own hands. President Ed
ward e.. Barrow admitted yesterday
that Sunday baseball might easily
prove a saving grace for his circuit.
New York State at present is not rep
resented in the Barrow circuit. So the
inference may be drawn that il will be
in case Sunday baseball carries here.
Previous to this Syracuse has been
talked of as successor to Richmond.
Such a shift would leave circuit in
which baseball might be played every
Sunday without entailing long jumps.
Barrow denied very emphatically
yesterday that he had ever suggested
any possibility Of the International
League closing shop the. coming year.
"My club owners have not sought
such advice from me-" said Barrow,
land until they do you may be sure
] do not intend 20 hand out opinions
The matter is one that concerns them
most directly.
IL will say for my club owners that,
all organized baseball cannot boast
eight more courageous sportsmen
They stood the gaf without a whimper
in the days Of the Federal League war,
when the International was forced TO
carry more than its due load of re-
sponsibility. Most of them lost heav-
lily, but sustained the losses manfully.
They believed a surrender would have
proved disastrous to organized base
ball and so refused 20 surrender.
1T is quite true" Barrow continued,
"that number Of the clubs lost heay.
lily last season. II is equally true that
some made money. None suffered more
than during the baseball war. II
these club owners wish TO suspend
operations next season, / think they
are entitled TO the privilege. They
already have earned the right of full
protection from organized baseball. On
the other hand. IL they wish TO con
tinue / would be the last man in the
world to interpose the slightest obiec-
ton"

Charles II. Ebbets, president OF the
BROOKLYN Nationals, for more than a
year has been particularly active tow
ard the elimination Of the time worn
blue laws that keep the league parks
closed on the Sabbath. The Flatbush
Squire Just now is sounding the senti-
ment Of the clergy Of his bailiwick with
Indifferent success.
Ebbets. however, has secured . petit
ton signed by countless thousands OF
Rrooklyn voters toward a repeal OF
these blue laws. The monster petition
will be presented 10 the next Legis-
lature. This is expected TO carry
weight, as the movement is backed by
many of the best people of Brooklyn
Ebbets has not been left to night
alone, though the owners OF the two
major league clubs Of the city proper
do not appear concerned one way or
the other. Sunday baseball would
doubtless be great boon TO Ebbets
Field. Whether the same would hold
true at the Polo Grounds is question
able.
Giant Owners Indifferent
Several championship games were
played at Brush Stadium last summer
as Sunday benefits for war purposes,
and the fans did not flock out in eI-
pected numbers. II has not yet been
settled whether the Sunday game on
Manhattan Island would affect week
day attendances. The owners of the
Giants, while wishing to oppose no OBJ
stacle TO a common good, seem salts
fled to let we'll enough alone.
But elsewhere throughout the state
the heartiest encouragement has been
lent toward the cause which has abb
sorbcd most of C. II. Ebbets's time the
last wear. Most Of New York's cities
of consequence are represented in some
class of organized baseball. Many OF
these minor leagues, which flourished
before the business depression incl
dent TO the great war, are rather hard
put TO it just now in financial way.
Sunday baseball. more than any other
possible favor, would save the situation
for them, if, indeed, the situation can
be saved.
Whether CT not Sunday baseball
would increase major league business
on Manhattan Island, the fact remains
that il would be Of great benefit 70 the
two big leagues as a means of short
ening the schedule period. Sunday
baseball is tolerated in all the Western
cities Of the American League and in
all the Western cities of the National,
too. with the exception Of Pittsburgh.
During a playing season there are
about fourteen Sundays. II the Sab
bath game were allowed in the East
the time necessary TO play a schedule
of l54 games could be trimmed'an even
two weeks. Western clubs have 70 re-
main idle weekdays TO Offset the en-
forced days Of rest in the East.
Could Balance Schedule
II is unreasonable 10 believe that
the cities Of Boston and Philadelphia
az this time will follow even IL New
York should set the fashion Of Sun
day baseball. Legalizing the Sabbath
game in this state would affect only
two National Giants and Dodgers) and
one (Yankee) American League clubs

Brilliant Play of Former
Colgate Star Defeats
Camp Meade Warriors

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. The team
representing the 311th Regiment OF In
fantry of the First National Army, hall
ing from Camp Dix, Wrightstown, n.
j., defeated the eleven from Camp
Meade, Admiral, Md, representing the
Sl4th Regiment of the First National
Army, in the first interdivisional cham
pionship battle ever staged in the
United States this afternoon on Frank
lin Field by the score of Is to g..
Every man on the Meade eleven was
a native born Pennsylvania, while the
representatives Of Camp Dix were
drawn from half dozen states.
The individual ability Of Lieutenant
Anderson, captain and coach of the DIX
team, gave his side the victory. An
derson scored both touchdowns, the
first following a short end run, the sec
ond after an 80-yard dash. His return
ing of kicks and all around play hel ped
make him the star Of the game. Ander-
son is a former Colgate star and all
American quarterback OF last year.
Meade Boys Fail in Pinch
Neither team could gain consistently
and they were about on par defen-
sively, save when Anderson cut loose.
Camp Meade had the finest kind of a
chance to tie the score in the last min
utes of the game, but could not make
good in the pinch.
After the battle the Dix rooters,
headed by their band, staged snake
dance on Franklin Field, gave final
cheer for their defeated opponents and
broke ranks.
The size of the crowd was disappont-
ing, barely 5000 spectators being on
hand, but the cheering and singing by
the soldier rooters from both camps
were worthy Of Army-Navy game days.
Dress Parade Before Game
A dress parade by the Camp Dix con-
tingent before the game, which includ-
ed the singing of "The Star-Spangled
Banner" and a formal salute to the
American flag, was an inspiring feature.

From Custer In
Game of Thrills

CHICAGO, Dec. before the big
gest crowd that witnessed a football
game in Chicago this season Camp
Grant defeated Camp Custer, IA to
13, at Stage Field to-day. The con-
test was staged to enrich tho athletic
funds at the two environments. and 1t
was estimated that more than $4,000
was obtained.
The contest was the most desperate
ly fought and spectacular played on
Stsgg Field in years. The Custer
eleven came from behind in the final
period and scored all of its points.
Costello's failure TO kick goal robbed
the Michigan soldiers OF a tie.
Langhoff, a former Wisconsin star,
and Gardiner, a former captain of the
Carlisle Indians, registered touch
downs for Custer. Gardiner blocked a
punt and raced fifty yards for the final
score.
Shiverick, an All-American star from
Cornell, and Eddy, famous Princeton
quarterback, played brilliantly for
Camp Grant, each scoring touchdowns.
The kicking of Shiverick and Costello,
a former Georgetown player. was a
revelation. 1t was seldom that their
punts did not travel fifty or sixty
yards.
Brigadier General Lyman Kennon,
the new commandant at Camp Grant;
a dozen other generals and their stats,
French and British officers and men
and women prominent in professional
and social life Of Chicago occupied
boxes, which lined the gridiron.
