Two Tackles Left Last Night
For Fortress Monroe
Shaw Also May Go
By Charles A. Taylor

Fred Dawson, head coach Of the
Columbia football team, yesterday
learned that the war was not yet
ended. Just as Fred was chuckling
over the supposed fact that he would
lose no more Of his star players to
officers training camps, came the
word that Kraus and Robson. the two
tackles, had been ordered to Fortress
Monroe. They left last night. On top
of ali this, Dawson was informed that
Shaw and Memott had been included
among the batch of S. A. T. C. boys
who will 60 to an aviation camp this
afternoon.
All of this means that Columbia will
be minus three of it's regulars and one
strong substitute when it lines up
against Wesleyan on Saturday. Shaw
was one of the best men in the back
field, and there is no one in sight to
fill the big hole he will leave. The
get trial. He played the last period
Of the Amherst game and made a
fairly good showing.
The line has been the weakest part
of the Dawson machine, and the re-
placing of Kraus and Robinson will
tax Dawson's ingenuity to the utmost.
Modarelli and Tower appear to be the
likely choices for the tackle positions,
and Borg, who has been on the sec
ond team, also may get chance.
1t was announced yesterday that the
Blue and White would meet Syracuse

Navy Yard Guards
Beat Eleven From
D. NewMexico

The formidable eleven of the U. S. S.
New Mexico felt the sting Of defeat for
the first time this season when it bowed
before the prowess of the players of
the Armed Guard, of the Brooklyn navy
yard, in contest on the Parade
Grounds, Prospect Park. Brooklyn, yes
terday. The score was 21 to 0.
1t was the trick plays and shift for
nations that brought about the down.
fall of the New Mexico team. Kelly,
the Armed Guard quarterback, who
played brilliant. all-around game,
handled the team in splendid fashion.
With McCool and Davis as able aids in
the backfeld, they were responsible for
consistent gains through the New Mex
leo defence. Tackling on both sides
was hard, while old fashioned football
was generally employed.
Kiely's end runs and wriggling
through holes in the New Mexico de-
fence were of sensational character.
He was an elusive individual and a
hard man to evade on the defence. He
scored two touchdowns and McCool
added the third. McCool's long punts
gained much ground for his eleven,
while he kicked the three goals result

Montpelier Cup Goes
TO Louis K. Liggett

Dilham, which used to make people
stand up in their seats and cheer when
she dashed into the ring. Last year
James Brady tried to buy Mite from
her present owner, and after having
his $4,000 refused he offered a blank
check and said "Fill it out yourself
But Mrs. Fletcher refused to part with
Mite.
The casualty list was short yester.
day for there were only two spills and
neither of them was serious. In Glass
129, which was for teams of horses tc
be ridden abreast over the jumps by
two officers of the same nationality
Captain Ross came to grief. He was
riding Silver Lace, from Squadron A.
and in taking the first fence with Gold
Bond, the mare stumbled and threw
Captain Ross over her head. He went
nigh IN the air and landed on his
back with terrific force, and when he
tried to rise he fell back again.
Every one was terribly frightened
and then suddenly he stood up, reached
for his cap and walking up TO his
steed, coolly mounted and completed
the course. That is American nerve
1t is the same spirit which the boys in
khaki have shown everywhere, and
and the spectators shouted themselves
hoarse.
This class was Won by the ever
popular Ginger, ridden by Major D. O.
Nelson, and Gold Lace, of Squadron A.
There were several perfect perform
seems to be high.
Nancy Esino SpoiIs Fence
The other accident was in Class &C.
for roadsters, when Nancy Esino tried
to see if she couldn't get out Of the
ring by backing her road wagon into
the fence. Needless to say, the thing
leaving Nancy looking very foolish
between a pair of shafts attached to
nothing. No one was hurt.
Mrs: Walter Hanley won again in the
ladies' saddle class with Driftwood
Blaze, and there was really no appar-
ent reason why the judges should re-
verse their decision made earlier in the
week which placed Blaze over Miss
Isabella Wanamaker's Cherrystone
Louise Huff came in for a ribbon, too.
She was placed third.
Another LEG" on Cup
1t was believed yesterday at the
Horse Show that the competition for
the Sir James Challenge Cup, the gold
trophy which the late Alfred G. Van
derbilt offered for gig horses, would be
ended when Lord Seaton stepped into
the ring at 10 o'clock.
The cup has been in competition
since 1918, when Lord Seaton won the
first leg of it for William H. Moore.
Last year the judge won his second leg
with Micah, but the good bay gelding
was not good enough last night to beat
Miss Isabella Wanamaker's Fireaway,
and Lord Seaton was not shown. So
now still another exhibitor holds leg
on the famous challenge cup.

F ornation of Two
New Ball Leagues
Discussed by Minors


PEORIA, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-The baseball
outlook for 1919, as viewed by the
members Of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Leagues, in
session here, is extremely hazy. Inti-
nations were given to-day by some of
the members that no concerted action
concerning schedules would be taken
by the association, but that each league
would be left to settle it's own partic-
ular problems.
Accordingly, r. H. Bough, president
of the Southern League, announced
that he would call a meeting of his
club owners in Birmingham December
Is. Most of the morning was spent
by the magnates in automobile riding
through the city.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-According to a
special dispttch from Peoria. members
attending the baseball convention in
Peoria are discussing the formation Of
two leagues, to include cities in the
international and American associa-
tions, with some new clubs added.
One proposed league would include
Louisville. St. Paul. Minneapolis, Pc
oria, Kansas City, Des Moines and St.
Joseph. The other would take in Bal
timore, Toronto, Milwaukee, Buffalo,
Newark, indianapolis, Columbus and
Toledo.

Keller and Sullivan
Will Be I teammates
In Six-Day Race

William Keller, Of Newark, promi-
nent as sprinter and long-distance
cyclist, has been accepted by Tim Sui
livan, of Boston, as a team mate in the
international six-day race in Madison
Square Garden the week of December
II. This will be Keller's debut as a.
six-day rider, but Sullivan feels GER
tain that he has secured good part
ner.
Because of a misunderstanding be-
tween Eddie Hanley and Lloyd Thomas,
the management has decided to split
this pair. Hanley rode with Hill last
year and finished third. Thomas had
Lawrence as partner in 1917 and
took down fourth prize.
In the coming race Thomas will be
teamed with Tom Grim, veteran long
distance rider, who has never ap-
peared in race in New York. How
ever, he finished we'll up in day
events held in San Francisco and Chi
cago. He is now a resident of Newark,
and during the past season made big
hit in races held at the Newark Velo-
drome.
Hanley will probably be teamed up
with Percy Lawrence and the two will
be known as the San Francisco COM
bination.
