by 6-to-0 count. The game was
staged on a gridiron that was a sea
of mud, while in many spots the
water was inches deep. Fast plays
and speed was impossible and both
clubs resorted to the "old Army
game" during most OF the battle. al
though the Indians lone count was
made possible through a neatly exc
cuted forward pass from Metzel to
Paul Cohill.
This was the only forward heave
completed during the battle. although
both teams made several trys at the
aerial route. The Mohawks proved to
be the best club regardless of the
sloppy going. as they registered thir-
teen first downs to nine made by the
Naval tribe. Cox and Durity. punting
for the Navy Yard team, were not
able to equal the one-side boots pulled
by Mohawk. as Paul Cohill. Taylor

The Gmnners had the best Of the
FIRST half. as early in the fray they
opened up with savage line-smash-
ing attack that would have done
credit to well-oiled varsity eleven,
but the Indians managed to with
stand their rushes when in scoring
distance. After holding for downs,
they would always boot out of danger.
After returning from the rest period
the Red Tribe started an aggressive
play that simply baffled the Gun
Makers. Kicks that gave the Indians

the ball on the 4yard line. Here Co.

a little Of the blame for the internal
troubles of the American League upon
Charles A. Comiskey. president of the
Chicago club. II Is asserted that the
"Old Roman could have averted the
family quarrel by simply raising his
hand in admonition to the New York
and Boston clubs when they started
the war on johnson as a result of the
latter's handling of the Mays case.
But the silvery-haired president of
the White Sox showed no disposition
to act in the capacity OF a peace
maker. but. on the contrary. seized
the opportunity as most fitting to air
some of the alleged wrongs he and
the league had received at the hands
OF Mr.. johnson.
II is generally believed that Mr..
Comiskey had nothing in common
with Messrs. Rupert and Frazee. and
that he made allies with them solely
for the purpose OF waging a war upon
President johnson, which he has
threatened several times within the
last ten years.

Some sort of an understanding be-

and is sure to be made. Even while

settlement through the medium Of
Frank Navin. president Of the Detroit
club. A similar peace offering will be
made again. IL II already has not

A CERTAIN MAN

who had made a subStan-

leaving a Will. He named
two personal friends as
executors hereunder.
One refused to qualify,
pleading i'll health and
pressure of business. The
other qualified, but died
when he had mastered the
details of his trust.
The estate suffered ser
'ious consequences be-
cause of delay in the ap-
pointment of new Execu-

sensions arose among
heirs. No one could act
with authority. Money
due the estate could not
be received and properly
acknowledged. Fund S

Notwithstanding urgent

The confusion that re-
