The Blue and Gray squad is due to
meet this morning at eleven o'clock
to listen to blackboard talk from
Coach Exendine and receive set of
signals. In all probability there will
be no outdoor work. but tomorrow
the squad is to be got under way in
earnest, in order to insure warm re-
ception for the Camp Meade soldiers
Saturday.
With the formal opening of Mary
land State tomorrow it is probable
that about sixty men will be on the
field for the actual beginning of foot
ball practice. Thirty-five Maryland
ers have been kicking the ball
around during the past week in an
effort to get in shape. but few new
men have been out. the aggregation
having been composed almost entirely
of members of previous State SQUADS.
Into and Nisbet are the only regulars
of previous teams not yet on the
field; both are tackles and each tips
the scales at marks well over 200
pounds. Both are expected tomorrow.
Two accidents have taken place SO
far in foot ball practice here. Maloney
of Georgetown, former Dorchester
High School player. having sprained
his ankle yesterday, and Ready of
Maryland State. former Business High
School star, receiving a twisted knee.
Both probably will be out of practice
for a week or so.
Georgetown has three prospective
games in view for Thanksgiving day,
Boston College, Oklahoma University
and Dartmouth, Charley Cox stated
yesterday, though there is not much
chance of the contest with Dartmouth
taking place.
Gallaudet yesterday announced it's
completed foot ball schedule. It fol-

BOSTON, September 2O.-Boston
kept Chicago from clinching the
American League championship today
by taking both games of double
header by 4 to 3 and IS to 4 scores.
1t was Babe Ruth day at Fenway
Park and the Boston player knocked
his twenty-seventh home run of the
season in the ninth inning Of the
first game. The ball sailed over the
left field fence and Ruth circled the
bases with the winning run. A dou-
BILE by Ruth in the fifth inning of
the second game helped to work in
the winning run. A capacity crowd
attended and Ruth was presented
with 5000 in Treasury savings cer-

the players believe they were as good

! spirit has pervaded the ranks of the
| Reds throughout the season. The play
of the club is characterized by dash
and the confidence of great club.
It is the same with Gleason. He has
made the Sox believe in themselves.
Gleason was satisfied when he took
over the. clubs that he had a strong
aggregation. The thing that con-
fronted him was to make the players
entertain the same opinion He early

Gleason and Moran are bright base

teams. They get the very best out of
, their material. They know base ball
and know how to impart the knowl-
edge: But after all. it is their per-
sonality that MAKES such a big part
of their deserved success.

Zach Bombed OFF Hill.

Zachary was handled roughly in the
closing encounter, two walks and a
pair Of hits netting the enemy tally
in the first round. while Woods double
and Graney's triple accounted for an
other in the second and caused the re-
tirement OF the southpaw. Erickson
got his job and would have emerged
unscathed for the remainder of the
route. but for an error by Leonard in

stolen second. Leonard's tumble of
Smiths wallop permitted him to reach
third and he Tailed on wild pitch.

ZACH ROUGHLY HANDLED
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

" Griffith's hired hands put in long
when they engaged the Indians in
. four hours of pastiming and emerged
(; with nothing better than a double
defeat for their efforts. The scores
were 6-3 and 81, Coveleskie getting
the verdict over Snyder in the opener.
while Zachary bowed to Myers in the
nightcap.
You've got to hand it to a guy like
Iris Speaker. Entering upon the
business of the day with his team
not yet finally counted out of its last
. chance of winning the pennant, he had
the Indians on their toes and playing
as if they were running neck and
neck with the White Sox. Six and
'one-half games separated the Tribe
from first place yesterday afternoon
and either single victory for the
White Sox or a defeat for the Indians
would have ended all speculation. 1t
seemed unlikely. to say the least, that
.Chicago would drop two games in
Boston while Cleveland was picking
up a pair here. but that's exactly what
= happened, and the Indians now are
only four and half games out of
first place.
Speaker is too well acquainted with
the law of averages to believe his team
. will win all its remaining games while
Chicago meets only defeat, which is the
only look-in Cleveland has for the flag,
q but he is not going to forfeit any chance
!, he may have through carelessness. Those
Indians are playing at top speed. They
have second place cinched. but may not
sbe expected to ease up in their gait until
finally and definitely dropped out of the
hunt for the bunting.
