Big FOOTBALL
/ SEASON ON TAP
Intercolleg Pigskin
Chasers to Have Busy
Season This Year.

New, York, July 11.-"That the
major colleges and universities of
the country, with the notable ex-
ceptions of Harvard, Yale and
Princeton. will support intercol-
legiate football teams this fall and
encourage all forms of intercol-
legiate athletics was pretty clearly
shown in a meeting held at Phila-
delphia recently. At this meeting
Pennsylvania was represented by
Coach Bob" Folwell, Pittsburgh, by
Coach Pop" Warner and Graduate
Manager Pender. Syracuse by Grad
uate Manager W. S. Smith, Penn
State by Coach Harlow, Brown by
Director Marvel, West Virginia by
Director Stansbury, Colgate by
Graduate Manager Jones, Rutgers
by Coach Sanford and Director
Blake. Washington and Jefferson by
Coach Morrow, Georgia Tech by
Coach Heisman, Lehigh by Direc-
tor Relter and Cornell, Lafayette.
Swartmore and a dozen other less
prominent institutions had repre-
sentatives at the meeting.
While this meeting was called pri-
marily to agree on officials for the
major games to be played this fall
it was most interesting as it ex-
pressed the almost unanimous sem
timent at the larger colleges and
universities toward going forward
with football for the year. Walter
Camp presided.
The fact that Camp is head of the
recreational activities In the navy
makes what he says on the subject of
continuing intercollegiate athletics OF
the utmost Importance. He reminded
the representatives that President
Wilson, Secretary Daniels and many
others have given out public state
ments encouraging athletics of all
forms in the colleges and that the
statements of the leaders reflect most
accurately the opinion of all.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton may be
represented by football teams this
fall. Their decisions have yet to be
made definitely. but whether or not
this trio comes in with teams there
will be a great deal OF football played
throughout the country. Last fall
neither of these institutions was rep
resented by teams but interest in
football fourished.
Conspicuous among the list Of games
already arranged for this fall are the
following. evenly distributed from the
first Of October to Thanksgiving Day:
Penn-Georgia Tech. Pittsburgh-Penn-
sylvania, Dartmouth-B Brown. Pitts
burgh-W. and j., Cor
nell, Army-West Virginia. Lehigh-
Lafayette, Syracuse-Pittsburgh Col
gate-Syracuse. Rutgers-West Birginia.
Pittsburgh-Lehigh. West Virginia.
Pittsburgh, Notre Dame-w. and j.,
Penn State-W. and j., Rutgers-Cof-
gate, Lafayette-Rutgers,a and Cornell

Chicago, ILL.,. July I1.-It will be war
to the bitter end between the National
and American Leagues over Pitcher
Scott Perry. Manager George STALL
ings, of the Boston Braves. to whom
the Athletics were ordered by the Ma
tional Commission to turn the player
over, says as much. Staliings de-
clares that the American League has
come toward with the announcement
that Perry will not be relinquished
under any circumstances. and to this
he adds that his club will fight to the
last mitch to secure the player.
by all the laws of baseball Perry
belongs to u.s. said Stallings, who
arrived here today with his team. to
begin a series with the league-lead-
ing cubs. He was under contract to
US when he quit the team, and, nat
ural1y. il was our right to hold him
by the reserve clause. AS soon as /
discovered that the Perry pitching
for Philadelphia early this year was
the same player who belonged to our
club, 1 Immediately notified the COM
mission. The case was duly taken up
and he was awarded to us. We will
fight any action the Athletics want to
take in order to secure Perry"
Both leagues are firm in their pres
ent stand on the Perry case. and un-
less. somebody relents. baseball is
likely to suffer severely.
Charlie weeghman, owner of the To-
cal National League club. is fearful
for the games future. He says 1t Is
child's play for the powers to carry
on like they have been doing over the
Perry case. Certainly" says Weegh-
man, there must be some grounds
upon which the parties concerned may
meet in order that the disruption of
the game may be prevented"

Walter went along just like the,
old machine OF past performances but
Hughey Jennings fighting tribe Of
"a la major leaguers" insisted that
that speed ball artist was only a
Southern Lacquer. and from the
way they piled the counters up, ex-
perts who have recently pronounc-
ed Walter though, appear to have
the right tip.
From the inside circles comes the
fact that Big Bill James who acted
as Jennings second relief hurler,
was about to get the gate. and
perhaps Walter took a little pity lon
the big boy and allowed him to ring
up his second vitcory in over a
dozen starts; but one thing is sure.
that Johnson was not himself, and
the Tigers just did as they pleased.
Outside of the opening frame when
Walter passed both Bush and Jones
he was in no danger as this young
Jones who Is holding down the hot
corner for Hughey's peppery crew
obtained the first-base blow OF the
offerings of the speed demon in the
sixth frame when one man had been
retired. This blow must have awaken
ed the Nationals as they went into
their half of the sixth and simply
kicked the daylights out Of Cunning
hams slants until six runs were over.
Steam" Kallio was called upon to
stop the murderers, but he, too, was
given the gate to make room for
pinch-swatter and Big Bill James
finished out that way.
&. This easy-sailing OF six runs proved
too much OF an advantage for Walter
as he just toyed along and before
he or fandom realized 1t this Tiger
tribe had drawn up within striking
distance and then punched through
a victory.
Bush's error of Shotton's ground
er opened the way for the Nationals
in the sixth. This miscue was fol-
lowed by base whacks by Foster
and Judge, and Howard Shanks
topped off the inning, by crashing
a double to left field that cleared
the pathways. Frank Schultz ad-
vanced Hank with a sacrifice. and
Picinich hit to left left, scoring How
ard. Lavan followed with a blow
that placed Picinich at the far cor
ner. and when Johnson crashed to
center field. both runners crossed
over the dish.
With one down in the seventh,
the Tigers got five of these runs
back. Curry hit, and Stanage pop
ped out. but Kallio followed with a
blow to right field. and Walter set
the stage by pasting Bush. This
same Mr.. Jones that obtained the
first hit off Walter. scratched an in
field blow that allowed Curry TO
score, the decision at the first cor
ner being a questionable one. Cobb
busted one on the nose to center
field. and two runs more crossed the
registering plate, while Veach fol-
lowed up with one in the same di-
rection that put two more across.
The ninth was a nightmare, as
Bush opened the way with a hit
to Lavan. Johnny booted Jones'
offering, and Ty Cobb filled the
sacks on Walter. by nosing out an
attempt to sacrafice. Veach hoisted
fly to Shotton, with no result, but
Heilman hit to center, putting Bush
and Jones in the run column, while
Curry's blow sent Cobb in with an
other run. The Nationals effort
to come from behind in the ninth
fell short, as the handicap of Bill
James hurting proved too much.

MEET
FOR MARLBORO
Will Be Held Next Month
by Southern Maryland
Agricultural Ass n.

Baltimore, July u.-While the fan
racing season over the mile courses
in this State will not commence until
September. the Southern Maryland
Agricultural Fair Association an
nounces that a five-day meeting will
be held at the fair grounds at Upper
Marlboro from August 30 to "a, in
elusive. In addition to horseracing,
horse show and fair, consisting of
agricultural and live stock exhibits,
will form a part of the program.
For quite a number of years this
has been an annual event in Prince
Georges County, usually held in the
latter part of May or first of June.
This year, however. ii was necessary
to delay the affair until next month,
owing to the backwardness of the
crops, due to the weather and short
age of help preventing the farmers
getting their stock in shape for ex-
hibition.
The racetrack at Upper Marlboro
is considered one of the finest half
mile courses in the country. Owing
to the manner in which the track
is constructed and the kind of soil
used. it is perfectly safe to run
horses over. Located in one of the
most picturesque sections Of the
State of Maryland. it is surrounded
with natural beauty. which makes
the spending of a day there most en-
joyable
As in former years, horses that
have been seen in the ring at the
big horse shows in New York and
Washington will be shown at the
Southern Maryland gathering. For
the running races there will be more
horses than ever. At Prospect and
the. Gentlemen's Driving Park there
are now about 200 racers that are
being shaped up for the opening
week. while fully 100 more are being
trained daily at Timonium.
The st. Peters reserves yesterday
defeated the Cardinal club by a S-to-7
count. Grerrie's home-run clout in the
sixth inning did the trick.

rench Airmen and
Artillery Firing on
Giant German Gun

PARIS, April 9.-French aviators
have discovered the location of the big
gun with which the Germans have been
bombarding Paris at long range, and
the continual bombardment of the spot
by the French artillery and bombing
by the airmen have made the handling
of the piece difficult. This explains
the intermittent fire of the long range
weapon.
The piece is mounted at Crepy-en-
Laonnois, near the road from La Fere
TO Laon.
Captive observation balloons of the
sausage type have been seen rising
over the region of Paris on recent
nights, and there has been considerable
speculation regarding the purpose of
this move.
1t is now explained that the balloons

metallic nets as defences against air
raiders. The balloons first were sent

ly have had as one purpose the obser-
vation of the fire Of the new gun.
