CJDGFL BEATEN IN
 DILL RAGING EVENT
 AT HAVRE DE GRACE

Havre De Grace, Md, Sept. 16.--- Commander J. K. L. Ross's CudEel failed to run as well as usual under a heavy impost yesterday and through a tremendous handicap in the weights was forced to take third in the Bay view Handicap, at a mile and a six teenth, which was the feature of the day. Cudgel carried 1S0 pounds and conceded 33 pounds to J. R. Skinkers Midnight Sun. which raced home first. Slippery Elm took second from Cud gel, which was never in the lead at any stage of the race.
 Cudgel had been racing at the top of his form for the last month. and he was so highly regarded yesterday that he was made a prohibitive fla vorite at l to 4. Midnight Sun was offered at better than 6 to 1. Cudgel was away last, as is his custom, and raced nicely through the back stretch, San5e having him under a slight pull. Meantime Slippery Elm had gone into the lead and was setting a fast pace. When Sande finally called on Cudgel the great racer seemed to lack his usual burst of speed, and, though he made one effort. it failed to bring him up to the leaders.

EIiIEEINIE GROH AND WEAVER

 As Heady Plcyer.

Boston, Sept 16.-Opinioas differ as to the respective merits os :hc two stars of the rival pennant winners IeLuie GrOh and Buck Weaver. Ma tional league fans, particularly those who have not seen Weaver i1 action, are inclined to give lhe marGin 10 Gr0h. who undoubtedly is the star third sacIer of his leagua. and grand au-around player. If there is any position in the infieId where the Reds may claim superiority over the White Sox 1t is at third base.

NOTRE DAME IS
 MOURNING LOSS
 OF THREE STARS

Notre Damc, Ind, Sept. 16-On the
 eve of the opening of practice, Coach
 Knute K. ROckne has received word
 that three of the best players he has
 been counting on for a nucleus of a
 formidable football machine will not
 be with the team this season. Chet
 Grant, probably the speediest quarter
 back NOtre Dame ever had, is still
 stationed in Brest, and all hope of his reaching school in time to display his
 gridiron ability, which was notable in | the season of 1916. has been aban-
 dOned. Meagher, an end before the
 war, is still a captain in the Marines. and has been so weakened with fever
 in a Southern camp that he will not be able to play football immediately. Degree, tackle in 1915 and 1916, the greatest punter of a decade of Notre Dame elevens, who was wounded in France, has decided not to return to school for his final year of competi- tion.
 These men will be sorely missed at the outset of the season, though an unusually large number of players Of some varsity experience will be avail ] able, and Coach Rockne will lose no 1 time in setting to work to fill the | places of these men. Practice began ! yesterday, and morning and afternoon sessions will be the rule, at least for
 the first week. From the standpoint ! of number of players the outlook for
 a successful season is encouraging, ] but the quality of the aspirants for places on the team is in general ad-
 mittedly none too high.

is just as much at home at the dili- cult corner. He has one of the best wings in the business, is quick as q cat on retrieving bun ts can block 'em off and make access to the base as hard as can any one in the business. He is a splendid inside ball player. a last and discreet base runner and a good run gptter. He is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the American league in a pinch, and in this respect is feared as much as is the slugger Joe Jackson.
 Heinie GrOh is a smart ball play CT. He will not hit the ball as hard as Weaver, but he is liable to cross the opposition more. His peculiar style at bat serves to keep the oppos- ing infieldcrs on their toes, and as he can hit to any fio,d is especially dan Eerous. Not quite as dangerous as is Weaver in the pinch, he has the facul- ty of taking advantage of the slight est boot, for he is fast and a hard ma n to get in a force play or in any situ- ation, where quick thinking and sharp fielding are necessary.
 He has stolen more bases than Weaver, but has not scored as many runs. However, this may be due to the fact that he has not such a bunch of cleanup hitters following him as has the Chicago man. But he is steady as clock al all times in the field, and in this respect alone'in the writ CTS judgment has anything on the Chicagoan. Weaver, always brilliant, is cratic at times. GrOh has yet to [ show any kness in this line

" COBB W.LL SECURE BATH#G
 CR0WH AGAIN

New York. S. 7t. 16.-Thore is now little doubt where the batting laurels will rest this season. Cobb will be crowned for the 12th time the cham piou batsmau of the American league and for the tenth time as the cham pion of all major Ieagucre. Tn tho first season of his leadership he was tied at .250 hy 'Houus'' Wagner and in the next year Wagu"r beat him out .354 to .32A.
 Since that time Cobb has led all batters with the exception of 1916 when Speaker bent him with an aver age of .3SG. Cuhb'a lowest mark was in 1908 when he finished aft .324; his best in 1911 when Inc made the high averar-a of .420; in 1919 ho was rated at .410. At the close of last week he stood at .8S3. with his nearest rival Harris of Cleveland at .&7Z, and Jgck- son of the White SoX at .350. Cobb would have to drop dead with the bat tO be beaten out now.
 The Iassitudc that most players are afflicted with as the season hears it's end. never affects Cobb, in fact Inc 'hits harder and ufreuer than ever in his efforts Co pile up a big hoard of hits.
 His 175 base hits for the season represent the highest total in the ma iors and gives his supporters reason to believe he will be the only play CT to round the 200 base hit mark for this season.
 Cobb really began his drive for tho leadership on July and has averaged a batting pace of 400 ever since. On that date Pccklupaugh led him with 1885 to .84S and Ncdc1 was sandwich ed in with a mark of .353. Cobb took the lead in the week ending August Q, and has never been headed. Since that date he has been speeding along at the rate of .43O He will hardly touch the 400 goal this season, for in order to accomplish that feat he would have to go at a .5G2 pace for the remain ing twelve games.

aRMY ID HAVE
 POOR FOOTBALL
 TEAM THIS YEAR

West Point, Sept. 16.---A threat of rain fingered in the air throughout the workout of the Army football squad yesterday afternoon. The sky was of dull omnibus gray, and shortly after the players quit the field a shower broke.
 Although the atmosphere was quite depressing, and the writer carried with him the impression that the Army. which so Gocisively- defeated Germany on the western front. expects to have a tri@o more difficulty with the Navy on the griridon when the two service eIeveuts meet at the Polo Grounds or November %.
 After a lapse of three years the United States Military and SavHl academies resume football relations this fall. and for the struggle Cap tain Charley ably, here at the Point, and GiImour CDble. at Annapolis, are working hard and earnestly with their squads
 The intense activity which prevailed here during the war has subsided. The Point is back upon a peace-time basis and never before has coach had to contend with a situation such as Daily has upon his hands; it is unique in the history of the game Daly has little more than a splendid stafe of assistant coaches to work with.
 The navy has not defeated the army since 1912, when Brown, an all-Amer- ican guard, kicked two goals from the field. and enabled the Nliddies to win by the score of G to But precedent of itself does not win games, and Daly finds himself possessed os a green and untried squad.
 The mor of Captain Johnny Nc Ewans's victorious 1916 eleven were all graduated and commissioned shortly after WIG entered the war. The demand for officers was urgent at that time and the oPint turned them out as fast as 1t could. The result is that Cnly newcomers to the academy are available for the football team.
 Daly must start from tle beginning with beginners. The difficulty of his task is apparent. Only two of the men have had any experience to speak of. They are Alec George, who has been elected captain, and White, an end. George, a quarterback, made something of a reputation at the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical school while White gained his expe- rience on the gridiron at the Univer- sity of Maine

McGOOvty Is
 Native of OshkOh
 And Good Scrapper

As T turn the pages of my sport calendar to Sept. 10th. my eye falls upon the name of one lcGuurty. the aulfsama one that CGmo over the ca lla recently. Twas today seven years ago. in inc city that ir alI "hct mp" over it's first ueuuaut prospects that Eddie NcEuortv ''fir' Cyclone Johnny Thimps1u 10 round draw. For chap who has observed tho K. O. from lying position as well as standiur you gutrl hand 1t to Eddie for hay ing the pluck 10 stick his tongue out and make faces at Euglands cham piOn. That he stood up before Joe Beckett for 17 rounds recently in London is much to his credit and in yarseIy to Mir. Beckctt's discrcdit. cs- pecially when we consider that Eddie has of late fought quite a few rounds with King Alcohol The last named fighter has been put down many times, but if there is no limit to the number of rounds he always wins.
 In Minnesota there is a town that
 is the butt of all urban humor, the jocular city of Oshkosh. We cannot
 blame Eddie for being born there because in the year of the event, 1889
 Oshkosh had high hopes of getting into the ''legitc" though it has since
 
 more, al tho world knows that Eddie left Oshkosh as the date line on the report of his last fight plainly shows.
 From the day. of. his birth Eddie started to grow and didn't stop until he measurerd five feet 10 inches. Be ing of Irish-American stock and na- turally mad at being born in Oshkosh,
 the lad began fighting at gn early age, and we find that at scNteen he had the pleasure of changing two pos itions of two opponents from the yer tical to the horizontal for the stand ard period of ten seconds. Thereafter
 we observe him swinging his fist7 rather freely all over America with no one reseuung it very seriously. In
 1914, nine years after the beginning of his career, he entered Australia, [, where he successfully argued the question of superiority with eight AOf the natives during a period of eight cen months when he is introduced to Les Darcy who had never bitten the dust and refused to go through a re hearsal. On this occasion, July 31, 1915, Eddie went through his first re- ] hearsal for the London affair all though the latter didn't come off ac- cording to schedule because he did n't lie down until the 17th round, whereas MT. Darcy directed him to drink the cup of defeat in the 18th. Eddie has been . good fighter, and i although he isn't champion timber, l 1 suggest that he try to stand four full l rounds with Jack Dempsey, where 1 after he can challenge Jess Willard , and quit running for the chamipnship and retire with honor like MT. Bryan.

COLUMBIA FOOTBALL
 PLAYERS ON HAND

 Charley Shaw, the sterling half back of last years squad, was one of those who was on the field in Of the members of the 1917 squad on hand, Jack Kennedy, an end and Captain elect of the 1918 eleven, and weinstein, a quarterback, were the cnly players to report.

SAYS WHITE S0X ARE
 BOUND ID IIN

New York, Sept. 1G.-It is tho opinion of Miller Huggins. the pint sized leader of the New York Tan kees, that the White Sox will lick the Reds in tho approaching worlds series, but he opines that it will be no cinch for Kid Gleasou-s sIuggers. Miller is native of Cincinnati and an American league manager. some combination at this stage of the base ball proceedings. Thus sayeJh he:
 'Of course, the Reds are going very well, and they do not believe that there is a team in sight that has any right to stand up against -henl. They have the confidence which comes from steady success, and will be a formidable opponent for the Amer ican leaguers, because I know from experience that such an attitude is a mistake all the way.
 "Reuther will be the most valua- ble finger for the Reds. of course The Chicago club does not like south paws. and Reuther is just lhe sort tO bother them. You know they have been giving Chicago some trouble this wear. A year ago the Cubs tried to beat the Red Sox with two south paws and maybe tho Reds will rely just as much as they can on Reuther to beat the White SoX, who think just a highly of southpaws as the Bos- ton Red Sox did a year ago.
 "Cicotte, of course. will be the pitcher the White SON will rely upon to stop the Reds. He may be bothered some by the changes in weather and other things. but he is clever enough to make trouble.
 "Wingo caught for me in St. Louis. He is a good man and they tell me thr- he has imp-ovcd. But I never did realize just Eow good this Ray SchaUJ was as catcher and as a team asset until the last two months. He not only helps tremendously in the pitching, but what a wizard he is around that home plate! How he takes throws from the outfield and tags tre man and how he hops out in front of the plate for bunts and little rollers at which the batter has swung.'
