WESTERN MAY LOSE
BURKE ON FRIDAY

Everett Burke. captain OF the West
ern High School football team and
rated as one Of the best backs in the
schools, may be held out of the Busi-
ness game Friday on account of an
injured shoulder.
The Western captain has a badly
bruised shoulder and IL is reported
that il Coach Green can hold him
out OF the going Friday he will do
so. Western is without many capable
backfield men. The team is unusually
light and will face Tech and Central
later on.
The loss of Berkley Jeffress was a
blow to the Westerners. Now that
Burke is indisposed the Westerners
have but one experienced player be-
hind the line in Harry Dawson.
1t was expected that Westerns
135-pound team would play Central
vest erday. The Central lads were
ready to take the field, but the game
was set for q later date.

THINKS GEORGIA TECH
WILL GIVE HIM BOTHER

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 2o.-University
OF Pittsburgh has Georgia Tech as
the football attraction here Saturday
and the Southern boys are expected
to put up the usual aggressive game
which has made them hard to beat
the last two years. The Georgians
have about the same outfit that gave
the Panthers trouble last fall. al
though Alexander has supplanted
Heisman as coach, the latter going to
University of Pennsylvania
Depending on straight football and
discarding the "Heisman shift" Coach
Warner figures that they will give
him more trouble than ever. Their
40 defeat of Vanderbilt last Sat
urday assures this.
Crowds will witness the w. and j.
and State games that will tax the
capacity of Forbes Field. The at
tendance at the West Virginia game
was about $4,000 and this figure will
be duplicated at the Georgia Tech
and Lafayette games. the latter be-
ing due october 80.
Around $4,000 will see W. and j.
and State play and this number
would be doubled were there sufii-
cient seating capacity, all Of which
indicates that Pittsburgh Is to be
classed as one OF the greatest football
sections in the country.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
WILL MAKE REPLY

1.-THE American league will hold a
meeting within a few days. said
President Clark Griffith, of the Wash
ington club, today, and will make its
answer to. those seeking to kill 1t.
Remember, a majority Of the Ameri-
can league opposes John Heydler and
all he does.
'It makes me sick and tired to see
this Heydler issuing statements tell
ing how sweet and pure he and his
magnates are when Heydler himself
is most to blame for the encroaching
Of the gamblers upon baseball.
"If Heydler had acted firmly when
Christy Mathewson proved Chase ia
be crooked. the world Series scandal
Of 1919 would never have happened
But he whitewashed Chase so that
the New York club could have him
and in return got the New York clubs
support. Now he sets himself up as
more honest than anybody else. It's
a joke.
IF these shady fellows want to
drive the American league out of
business, let them start. We've beat
en- them before and we can again,
but rather than enter an Organization
led by Heydler. ia sell out first.
IF there Is a baseball war and
go brcke-well, I've. been broke be-
fore and I can go broke again with
out whining. But I'll go broke be-
fore I'll have shady men dictate to
me what i shall do with my property
"The American league will meet
and, living UP to its own rules, de-
clare forfeited those franchises op-
posed to it. The National league
make our rules for us. And. for one,
1 shall never enter an organization
where a majority vote can throw me
out. What chance would Washing
ton have in that circuit? It's fine
business, that's what l call 1t, fine
business"
President Griffith is convinced that
the entire action of the magnates in
Chicago is dictated by politics alone,
the end being to drive Ban johnson
from baseball. He says he is not
especially supporting Ban johnson,
but rather living UP to the rules OF
the American league. which he puts
before all others in the country.
The Washington times., 1920-10-20
BALTIMORE READY
TO HOP IN BREECH

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 2o.-If the
reported feud in organized baseball in
which Ban johnson and five of the
American League teams are arrayed
against all of the National League
and three OF the American League in
terests, means that there will be
reorganization of major baseball.
Mayor Broening is determined that
Baltimore shall seize whatever op-
portunity may be presented to get in
one of the major circuits. He stated
yesterday that he would at once call
together the committee recently ap-
pointed to look into the possibilities
of securing a major league franchise
for Baltimore.
'It looks as IL the situation might
develop the opportunity we have been
looking for" said Mayor Broening,
"and at least we owe it to ourselves
to be on the alert to step in If such
is the case. Baltimore ought not to
be known as a minor league town.
1T is belittling to be advertised as
such.
Not that I would for one minute
cast any reflection on Jack Dunn and
his team. Indeed, my whole idea is
that some means be found to put
Dunn at the head of our baseball or
Eanization in the big league circuit.
] believe that the team he has organ
ized is big league material.
The individual members have CO.
operated with each other and played
the game with admirable spirit Their
decisive victory over the best that the
minor leagues can produce is evil
dence of their big league caliber.
Just what we should do at this
time 1 do not know, but it is at least
advisable that the committee recent
ly appointed should get together and
size up the situation. For that reason
] will call a meeting at once. What
we will need will be enthusiasm to
carry the thing through. When the
committee gets together we can en-
deavor to enlist those men in the
cause who can supply this element"
Any fight in which Ban Johnson is
one of the principals must definitely
line up Baltimore among his oppon
ents. In. this controversy Baltimores
opportunity lies with the majority
interests not because they constitute
the majority, but because the minor
fly is led by Johnhon. The reason
for this view of the situation is quite
simple. Ban has declared that Balti-
more will only get major league
franchise over his dead body.

KENTUCK|ANS
MAY APPEAR
Georgetown and Center College
Conterring Over Gridiron
Game Here.

Center College, of Danville, KY,
the football sensation Of 1919, may
be seen battling AL Exendine'a
Georgetown varsity eleven st Amer
lean League Park here on Saturday.
December 4. Negotiations are now
being conducted between Charles II.
Myers, faculty directory at Center,
and the Rev. V. S. McDonough, fac
ulty director at Georgetown. A de-
cision is expected within few days.
Center plays the strong Harvard
eleven at Cambridge. Mass. next sat
winning from the Crimson stalwsrts-
Irrespective OF the result Of that con-
test. the Kentuckians viii be a great
drawing card in Washington. NO
really great team has been seen here
since the Washington & Jefferson
eleven battled Georgetown In 1914.
Efforts have been made to bring tho
United states Naval Academy eleven
here, but they went by the board. IL
is probable that Georgia Tech, which
faces Georgetown at Atlanta on No
vember 13, will be invited to come
here next season. The Golden Tor
nado," known far and wide for it's
football prowess. would pack the ball
park here. but the deal has not yet
been closed.
Coach Exendne is polishing up hts
attack this week in preparation for
Saturdays clash at New York with
Fordham, Georgetown's ancient enemy
I'm all branches of sports. He expects
to have Hap" Ward back in the
lineup. This means much toward
strengthening the backfield.
Joe O'Connell. kept out Of the Wes-
leyan game with a bad charleyhorse.

tackle against Fordham. He is now
in fair shape, but IL injured again
will be supplanted by Quinn, who
started the Wesleyan contest.

Carolina State game and may not be
called on for the Fordham game Sat
urday.
Little Art Leary injured his shoulder
against Wesleyan and is taking things
easy this week. However, he should
be ready for Fordham. IL needed.
1T is doubtful If there will be any
scrimmage at the Hilltop this week,
Coach Exendine not wishing to risk
the few players he has. Every effort
is being made to put a strong, we'll
trained and well-coached aggregation
on the Fordham gridiron. The Hill

NEW YORK, Oct 20.-The cate
ing staff of the champion Brooklyns
will be strengthened before another
season rolls around While the Rob
ms were battling for the pennant
during the closing weeks of last sea-
son President Ebbets made a des-
perate attempt to land Hargravc
from the st. Paul club of the Ameri-
can Association, but failed.
Hargrave is the leading backstop
of that fast minor organization and
is ready to come up in the big show.
The Brooklyns are first in line for
his services and he may be a member
of the Flatbush team before the play
ers start for their spring training

THREE PLAYERS ADDED
TOG W. u. STRING NOW

The addition of DAILY, hefty full
back and forward pssser, Hume, an
end, and Jones, a lineman, is expect
ed to bolster up the stock OF the
George Washington University eleven
which faces villanova College here
Saturday.
Despite Saturdays overwhelming
defeat at West Virginia the Hatchet-
ties figure they have an even chance OF
defeating the strong Villanova team
Saturday.
Dick Vidmer will probably be out
of the lineup Saturday. He Is suf-
fering from a badly bruised leg. DAILY
however, is taking his place and Is
adding weight to the eleven. 1t Is ex-
pected that Jim Hume and John
Loehler will be on the ends Saturday.
These youngsters stand well over six
feet two inches and are expected 10
do well on forward passes.
Saturdays game will be called at 8
o'clock. The game arranged for the
Freshmen and Western High was
called off because the Westerners
play Business on Friday.

Washington's financial weakness,
following the playing weakness or

q cause OF complaint on the part OF
certain clubs. In the past couple or
years-not including 1920, possibly
this dissatisfaction has been pro-
nounced. The New York club, in par
ticular, has complained bitterly over
seeing Washington play to 25,OOO and
80, 900 at the Polo Grounds and then
draw 5000 to 5000 at home with the
Yankees as an attraction.

One of the Governments greatest
