GR|FF HANGS Up
WORLDS MARK IN
Winning PROTEST

Clark Griffith has established a
worlds record. Ban johnson has al
lowed his protest of the game played
in Detroit, August 10, when Ty Cobb
interfered with George Burns, as he
rounded third base, and the umpire
let the resultant winning run stand.
Griff lodged his protest under Section
II of Rule Sc, which forbids any
coach from touching a base runner
under penalty of having the runner
declared out automatically.
81 don't know whether the game
will be thrown out" explained Grih
today, cor whether 1t will be played
of here in a doubleheader. To jump
back to Detroit Sunday is hardly
feasible, but / wired at once for in
structions. Anyway, throwing It out
will bring US just SO much nearer
to the Tigers FOR fourth place"

-Four triples, q double. and eight
solid wallops were all the Griffp coll

were entitled to another triple, but
Johnson failed to touch second. and

WHITE SOX NEED ONLY
FIVE BATTLES TO WIN

Five games will now put things in
shape for the Comiskey clan to sweep
out the dusty old safety deposit vault
and make It ready for the first worlds
series money since 1906.
Ten games are left on the White
Sox schedule. II they win half of
them they will finish the season with
100 victories. Fifteen victories,
which would use up all the remain
ing Red soK encounters. would give
them only ninety nine on the won
side. The two SoK are still billed
for the tough eggs they battled yes
terday. The ChicagoanB remain in
PhiladelphiA and the Tigers &C ntinue

John Orally Is king at the Hill
top. He viii continue to reign for
at least another week, for the candi-
dates for the 1917 varsity football
eleven require their muscles made
more supple, and none is SO clever
In bringing that about than the sill
ver-haired John O'Reilly.
Seventeen tall, well-built lads an
swered the call Of the gridiron at
Georgetown for the first days work.
With the exception Of Johnny Nc
Quade, last years bone-crushing
halfbaek, no regulars were on hand.
The initial work of the year was,
therefore, surprise to most Of the
squad.
o'Rsilty believes in hitting his lads
fer the tray. He nrst prepares the
muscles and tendons for what is re-
quir6d Of them Then he makes It his
business to keep every player in first

Be sure that you put every ounce Of
punch into every movement, but keep
time with me. These movements will
work out some OF those muscles lying
dormant all summer. Football is =
great body builder, calling into action
every muscle in q man. So 1 want
you to start easily now TO get your
muscles ready for the scrimmages. In
that way youlI escape injury"
Then the squad was put through
stunts calculated to make every lad
stretch. Only about an hour was con-
sumed before Il was "once around the
track and come In walking" but
every newcomer to the Hilltop is con-
vihced that football at Georgetown

Lads HRve sise.

For the first time In several years
high school coaches have charge OF
some sizeable lads. During the past
summer opportunities for work on
farms. gardening and out-of-door oe-
equations have done wonders for the
lads reporting for the football
squads.
Instead of the usual collection Of
midgets and neas which have made
UP the teams in the past many lads
are weighing in over the 1eO-pound
mark. Central has some big fellows
working out every day. while Tech
has a lot of beef expected to make
an appearance on the team. Business
has a number of lads who stack UP
we'll in weight
One or two hefty lads at Western
and Eastern will do wonders In boost
ing UP the defense of these teams
which usually present the smallest
lads in the series.

Maryland States football prospects
are anything but bright. OF eighteen
letter men expected back. one only
made an appearance in yesterday's
initial workout. The Maryland State
players, with but one exception, that
Of Fletcher, are serving in the army,
navy, or marine corps, and Coach
Curley Byrd is anything but cheered
today.
Several more candidates are expect.
ed to augment the squad of four play
ers which came out yesterday.
Fletcher was on hand with Snyder,
Techs fuIlback Of last year; Leathers.
Q lad from Ohio Northern last year,
and Loomis, who played on the scrubs
last season.
Walter Posey has been drafted, and
the eleven will probably be without
its captain and right tackle. Those
who are expected back are Mornhin-
veg, Ike Macdonald, Jamie Smith, Joe
Coster, Lightner Aitchesan, and Bobby
Knode.
Knode will probably be released
from the naval militia and may bring
with him Allen and Willis, of the Bal
timore City College team Of last sea
son. and Watson, . quarterback, from
Baltimore Poly.
1t is practically impossible to get
the members of the squad Of last year
back for football until the harvest II
over. Many of the lads are cutting
corn at present but write In that as
soon as the farm labors are over will
be on hand.
Maryland State opens with Della
ware College. and must face the Navy
two weeks later.
