coaches will be continued on the Pay

The expenses in other forms will
hardly be curtailed materially. Il
have heard from the chairman Of one
of the athletic committees that an

a plan should doubt very much. OF

team. because a modern properly COM
plete football equipment is a rather
expensive proposition for an indi-
vidual- to shoulder. One of the
reasons for the very large increase of
athletic expenses at the colleges has
been the attempt to distribute the
benefits of the sport among a greater
number and not to confine it to those
who are financially able to pay for
everything they need. It Is all very
well to refer to past English ira
ditions where a man paid his own
way, but circumstances surrounding
our sports are quite different from
those in the English universities
when this was in vogue. Training
tables were very much curtailed in
a great many places some years ago,
and 1t did not seem to initiate
seriously against the quality Of the
teams. This was done In the middle
west The east will now give in,
and at many of the universities
there will be no training table-that is,
that will be the rule. I am rather
inclined to think that the thing will
work out somewhat as did the. rule
against preliminary practice; That
there will probably be no training
table provided by tie management,
but that great many players will
be- eating in close proximity to one
another before the season is over.
Altogether, then, the season which
was one of rigid economies, a condition
hailed with great deal of salts
faction by the college authorities,
will probably put quite as much de-
mand upon the exchequer as did those
Of the past. Men who have been
viewing with great concern the in
creased expense budget of this falls
sport, knowing that the time would
come when either the athletic treas
uries would go bankrupt or when
some movement for curtailment must
take place, now realize that the
money must somehow be provided.

jumped the club. while George Burns.
Fred Thomas and Scott Perry are un-
der the care Of physicians, suffering
with colds and stomach trouble.
The desertion of Dugan caused big
surprise, but the loss of Dowd is
slight. Dugah, who had been out Of
the game for several days with a. sore
thumb, came from his home in New
Haven, Comm. Thursday and played
one game with the Mackmen. Follow
ing that game he claimed that his
sore thumb interfered with his grasp
on the bat and that he also WAS sick.
without saying anything to any ore
of the team, he took French leave
for his home in New Haven. and that
has been the last heard of him. =
This Is the second flop gDugan has
taken. Two years ago he. jumped the
team when the fans started to boot
him when he erred in the field. Dugan
will probably be severely, punished
by Mack for this second jump over

It appeared the Tribe put one over

gle rolled to Speaker, whose return
apparently was allowed to bounce by
Chapman and Wamby Menosky fell
into the trap and dashed for second
only to find O'Neill.s peg there ahead
of him. Smart stuff it was in
tended.
The Nationals pulled two double
plays to assist Harper. The first
came in the opener and was engineer
ed by Shanks. whose error on Graney
was responsible for the presence Of
an Indian on the sacks. The other
came in the fifth after Wamby had
walked. Foster initiating it after
checking O'Neilrs wallop.
tested Gharrity's arm to their sorrow
r The former was tagged trying to
pilfer with two down in the second
and the latter after scratching a hit
through Leonard in the third. Spoke's
frustrated sprinting effort developed
in the fourth after he had drilled his
first hit to center.
Joe Wood had a golden opportunity
to overhaul Washington's two-run
lead in the seventh. Harris walked
with one down and had been forced
by Gardner when Wamby sent the
latter to third with double to right
center. The former smokey one fall
ed to seize his chance, Foster smoth-
ering his bounder.
The error charged against Harris
cropped up in the first session when
Fosters rap was DETECTED by Bagby
to wambsganss. Bills toss had to be
taken with one NIT and Harris failed
to toe the sack in grading it. Men
osky singled him to second, but Rice
and Murphy left him there. Phillips
misplay was an overthrow of first on
Gharrity's bunt in the ninth. Moth
ing accrued from 1t.
Charity came to life with three
safeties. The first of these put the
Nationals in the way Of winning the
game in the fourth, as Murphy, who
had been hit by a pitched ball, made
third by a desperate dash under
Graney's high throw. Charity keep
ing on to second. Bagby then steam
ed up and made Shanks hoist to the
left fielder.
Leonard never got beyond the fni-
tial station after opening the fifth
with a safe crack to center. Harper
