Fans After Two
More Managers
BY H. C. HAMILTON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent J
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The fans,
who so ably combed Lee Foil out Of
a job as manager of the Cleveland In
dians, are now after the scalp and
other accourtrements of George Stall
lings and his American league rival,
Ed Barrow, of the Red Sox. Not the
same fans, of course, but the same
kind of fans-rough and determined
fans who strive to manage ball clubs
from grandstands.
Stallings has a contract that will
not expire until next year, but George
Washington Grant is said to be lay
ing plans that will entail the depart
ure of Stallings before that time,
providing he can Induce the man of
his choice to step into Stallings'
place.
As Miracle Man. Stallfngs has
been something Of a bust since his
sensational performance irl& 1914.
His club is of the same oldAfghting
type, but the execution of great eff
fort isn't there. The clubs pitchers
are only alleged pitchers, and from
the days before Stallings, The team
has never had an outfeld. The catch
ing staff is shot to pieces, and the in
field is only fair one, although it is
the best part of the machine. Maran-
vile is still Maranville, and Red
Smith is the same heavy hitting, ag-
gressive player he was whe nhe play
ed such a great part in the drive of
1914 Braves.
Barrow's trouble lies in the fact
that the worlds champions slumped
easily into second diversion berth this
year, and the fans accuse Barrow of
being responsible, through unwise
trading and selling last winter They
forget that Barrow's pitching staff
has been shot to pieces, and that it
was mainly a pitching staff which car
ried the old Red Sox, to pennants and
worlds championships.
Barrow turned Babe Ruth into an
outfelder, thereby depriving himself
of a pitcher who could win twenty.

Hanged in w. Va

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, Aug. 8.
Hugh Ferguson, the negro who at
tackled Mrs. Ernest Zimmerman at

Md, was hanged at the penitentiary.

stitution in eighteen months and the
first on a day other than Friday in
the history of the State penal insti-
tuition.
When Ferguson was convicted at
Berkeley Springs, Judge Woods in
quired of Warden Terrell if there
was any rule of the prison requiring
that a man be hanged on Friday.
Warden Terrell knew of no such rule.
The court then sentenced Ferguson
to die on Wednesday, the earliest
date the law would permit the hang
ing ito take place. Ferguson at the
time of the commission of the crime
barely escaped mob violence.

back strove to bite into the locals territory by means of forward passes. Several were made good, but the Hot Springs team lacked the punch to eX- ploit their gains.
 Locals Punt Once.
 The Hot Springs team was forced to kick several times, three of which were broken up, and two recovered by the locals. Pine Bluff was forced to punt only once. The superior con- dition of the Pine Bluff team over the visiting eleven was manifest, substi- tutions being frequent, while Coach Bassett used but twelve men during the entire game. The poorer condi- ton of the visitors resulted in their being accorded a terrific battering by the Pine Bluff eleven, and time was taken out for the visitors ire quently. In the Pine Bluff lineup, four men, Sorrells, Lindsay, Boone, and Harper, played their last high school game, and their exhibition yesterday was equal to the standard they have set during the season. Lindsay and Boone were particularly effective in line plunges yesterday, while several long broken field runs by Sorrells featured the game.
 Harper Is Active.
 The work of Harper at right tackle, was better than any exhibition this season, while Wynne at left tackle, played a game not less brilliant than at Little Rock. Brown, left end, wound up a season of consistent play ing by stellar performance yester- day, while Harry Wynne, right end, and Quinn, who halved the game with him, played consistently. Clark, shifted from end to guard, made good in the new position, as did Ter rell, shifted from tackle to right guard. Hamilton, elongated center, ended his first season of football with the steady, consistent game which has characterized his work all season. His good judgment at one time in the game yesterday when he refused to snap the ball back with half his own line off sides, was feature of the game.
 None of the visiting players loom- ed up as star performers, the near est approach to star the visitors had being Files, the rotund little gen. tleman playing center. This lad weighed somewhere around 200 pounds, but handled himself well, and was in every line play.
 The lineup:

(BY JOHN SORRELLS).

With an offense centered around a crashing off-tackle play, and va ried occasionally by the use of for ward pass and an end run. the Pine Bluff high school football eleven bat tered it's way through the Hot Springs high school eleven for seven touch downs, yesterday afternoon, and fin ished the 1919 season by annihiliat- ing the Hot Springs team, A to 0.
 The muddy condition of the field was seemingly not hindrance to the Pine Bluff backs who had little difficulty in piercing the opponents line, or circling their ends. The west side of the field was almost normally dry and firm, and after receiving the ball at the north goal, Quarterback Collins directed all his plays to keep the ball in the dry strip of ground.
 The first touchdown came shortly

Pennsylvania Ends Season With Victory
 Over Cornell Team

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-The Uni versity of Pennsylvania football team closed the season today with bril- liant victory over Cornell in their annual Thanksgiving day game, 24 to 0. The Quakers showed super iority over Cornell in every depart ment of the game, and their goal line was never in danger of being cross ed by the Ithacans. The red and blue played wide open game, for ward passes netting many yards and two touchdowns.
 Cornell showed no offensive pow CT and in only two critical periods when her goal line was in danger did the New York state team exhibit strength in stopping the Pennsyl- vanians. One instance came in the first period when Pennsylvania had worked the ball to one yard from the Cornell goal. The Quakers, hav- ing had an easy time pushing the pigskin along, tried four times to carry it across, but Cornell braced and held her opponents for downs.
 Pennsylvania's first touchdown came in the second period when she scored on a forward pass, Bell to Hopper, inside Cornell's 1O-yard line. In this period, Cornell again held Pennsylvania for downs when the ball was within inches of the goal.
 Ten points were added in the third period on a touchdown by light and a field goal by Brunner, Pennsyl- vania having little trouble in ad- vancing the ball to striking dis tance.
 One of the prettiest forward pass es by Pennsylvania happened in the final period when Bell hurled a long one to H. Miller, near the Cornell goal line. Miller scored without a Cornell man laying hands on him. In this period both teams sent in many substitutes. All but two of Penn sylvania's regular varsity eleven played their last college game to- day.

Pine Bluff Smothers Hot Springs in
 Football Finale, Seven Touchdowns
 Counting A Points to Visitors None

after Pine Bluff received the opening kickoff, when, with perfect pass, Collins to Harper, the local eleven re- eeived an impetus which could not be stopped by the visitors, and driv- ing down the field with tackle smashes, Lindsay went over for the first touchdown.
 Sorrells Kicked Goal.
 The second touchdown came in the first quarter also, and was attained in much the same manner as the first. After the second touchdown, the Hot Springs eleven gave up the attempt to gain the aggressive, and were con- tent to play a passively defensive game throughout the remainder of the session. They attempted end runs and line plays in the early part of the game, all of which were smashed to pieces by the superb de- fense of the Pine Bluff eleven. Find ing that no hope of gaining ground lay in line plays, the visiting quarter

The Plainsmen won by fighting every minute and taking advantage of the breaks. while Tech fumbled too ire quently and seemed over-anXious.
 Tech started in the usual manner. earning its first and only touchdown in the first six minutes of play, but the tide turned definitely with Au- burns first score in the second per iod on safety,

The rivalry of 25 years standing spurred the warriors on before a crowd of 15,OOO rabid followers of both sides Early in the game it became evident that A. and M. would devote it's ef- forts to straight football.

Rice Piles Up 40 Points to 7 for
 U. of A. Eleven

Houston, Tex. Nov. 27.-Rice roll ed up a 4o-to7 count on Arkansas university on the Rice gridiron Thanksgiying by series of off tackle rushes, several brilliant end runs and the most spectacular line plunging which Houston has seen this season. The Owls defense functioned in great form, breaking up the Razorbacks' famous aerial plays in good form. Only two pass es were completed bv the Razorbaclls and one of them failed to gain. Ike Owls depended almost entirely en the tackle plays and line plunging for gains. The few forward passes attempted failed.
 McGee, Rice freshman and left half, was the outstanding luminaTy If the game. The speedy At;lenc product squirmed thru the Razor back line repeatedly and broke away For long gains. Underwood, Brick, Dain, Mcfarland, Brown, Dyer and Tatum all distinguished themselves For the Arkansas eleven, Bain and and Powell did some great putting. Davidson, left half and quarter shone in the backfield The Razor back line worked nicely on the de- fense early in the game, but lacked the staying quality of the Owls.
 The field was just a trifle mud dy from recent rains, but both teams behaved with ease nnder the handi- cap. Only brace ot fumbles were made during the entire game which | should draw censure; every back on the field held to the ball and avoid ed a repetition of the Howard Payne affair

in the line was the bigger factor in the defeat of the Pine Bluff second stringers. Parmell, all-state half back, who gave the Pine Bluff regu- lars so much trouble in the scheduled game at Pine Bluff several weeks ago, starred for only a part of to- days game. Then he was sent to the showers with sprained ankle. Fordyce made three touchdowns in the first period, one in the second, one in the third and two in the fourth. A touchback also counted two points against Pine Bluff in the third. Nichols, Craig, Hing, Hooker and Gould starred for Pine Bluff. Pine Bluff completed five forward passes. Fordyee completed two in five at- tempts.
