Washington Defeats Athletics at

mack and Shanner

Two recruits by the names Of
Heimach and Shanner made their debut
against the Senators at Shibe Park
yesterday and were given a very harsh
greeting by the aliens. When the
hostilities ceased the Griffmen won by
a score Of 13 to 3.
Heimack started on the mound. He
had everything that a pitcher desired
in the first inning, but in the second
the Senators romped over the plate
twice and once more In the third. Then
in the fourth they scored three. In
the fifth they Tailed thrice and Mr..
Heimack was given the cue. that he
ises.
Shanner then stepped to the mound,
but he Jared just a little better than
his predecessor.
Zachary pitched a good game for the
Senators. He had the Mackmen at his
mercy throughout the game. He eased
up in the sixth and seventh when the
Mackmen punched hits for their three
runs. Judge and Charity each had a
home run. With the exception of
PrOthro every one of the Senators made
one or more hits. They amassed nine
teen safeties for a total of twenty six
bases. -. ,...

GARNET STUDENTS
hike TO PRINCETON
Fifty Swarthmore Youths Travel
Afoot to Tigertown for
Cridiron Fray
Palmer Stadium PriI

Palmer Stadium, Princeton, N. j.,
Oct, 2.--Such small thing as the
lack of sufficient currency to pay rail :.
road fare Is no deterrent to the loyal
Swarthmore students. Previous to the
start of the game with Princeton this
afternoon, some fifty Garnet students
came into this historic field dust GOV
cred and footsore from their long over
night hike from Swarthmore. but happy
that they would see their favorites In
action for the first time.
Spirit Is one of the biggest factors
In the success of the Swarthmore in
stitution and the loyalty Of the stu
dents is something that Is breezed about
all over the college world. The fifty
odd who arrived this afternoon showed
loyalty, considerable spirit and lot
of noise. Added to a delegation Of
Swarthmore students who arrived here
by auto, train and any other method
of conveyance they could find, the hik-
ers make sufficient racket to be heard
all over the stadium.
The day Is ideal for football, with
just enough chilliness In the air to
force the players to extend themselves.
The cool wind sweeping down the field
brought out in force winter furs, ulsters,
topcoats and all other trappings that
go to prevent old man Jack Frost from
entering the marrow. The large num-
Der Of women sprinkled through the
stand made wonderful setting for the
opening game.
The field Is in good shape in spite
of the heavy rains of the last few days,
and the coaches, after looking over the
gridiron, stated that they expected q
speedy brand Of football.
Betting is conspicuous by its alb
sence. The Princeton students are not
letting their coin 20 until the big
games, figuring that the Tigers are In
the making, and that they have been
greatly handicapped during the last few
weeks with the heat and the rain.
Swarthmore, while having a veteran
team, is also in the making, and this
afternoon being the first test for the
two elevens makes the betting ring VII
tually useless.

MACK HAS A PLAN
Make Gambling on Baseball a
Felony, Says Connie

Connie Mack, manager and part
owner Of the Philadelphia American
League Baseball Club, in discussing the
proposed civilian tribunal to take the
place of the National Commission as the
governing body of organized baseball,
said that where he was not ready "at
this time to approve the proposition,
he was for anything that would be
helpful to the game"
Mr.. Mack declared that he could not
see why the same results could not be
accomplished through the National
Commission and added that 'if mem
bers of the commission had been given
the proper support by club owners, the
disagreeable affairs revealed by the Chi
cago grand jury investigation would
not have been possible"
The surest way to stop gambling on
baseball games, Mr.. Mack said, is for
Congress to pass a law making 1t a
felony.

sophomore at Princeton, In excellent
social standing with his professors.
Don will be able to make bid for the
Orange and Black eleven next fall. He
has brother at Princeton in the junior
class.
The departure of Griffin is a hard
blow for the team, for last year when
he played on the freshman team he
easily outclassed every man against
whom he played. Bots Bruner, the
best kicker at Pennsylvania, has gone
to Yale, another blow of more than
average cruelty.
BucknelI Confident
Bucknell always comes to Franklin
confident of making a good showing.
This time the boys from Lewisburg be-
lieve that they not only will make a
real showing, but that they have an
even chance to win. Last year Penn
sylvania won from Bucknell by fifteen
points only, and today the visiting
eleven expects to do much better than
that.
The team came in late yesterday and
the men looked the part of real foot
ball players. There is one thing that
may hurt Bucknell's chances; they
have had very little scrimmaging and
thio ID tuei iibt IVY Hdh
been working on the theory that il Is
better to keep his men in shape by
taking no chances on their receiving
injuries. Whether this plan works out
as the coach hopes Is a question that
only the game will tell. This is lust
the opposite method from that used by
Heisman, who has been sending the
team through long scrimmages every
day this week, except yesterday.
Captain Joe kostos Is certain TO start
at one of the halfback positions. The
other half will be either Gdaniec or
McGraw. The latter formerly played
on Central High, here. Bowser, who
halls from Ford City, is a good piunger
and will be started at fullback. Mangan.
formerly of Bellefonte Academy, has
been doing excellent work in directing
the team and will be given the first
shot at quarterback. On the ends Rev
nolds will have McDermott and Hahn.
Both have had lot of experience and
are fast men, good at catching forward
passing and fairly deadly tacklers.
Bihl, who went to Bucknell from Har-
risburg Tech, will oppose Frank at
center. On either side of him will be
Morrett and Fred Lauster, another
product of Harrisburg Tech. The
tackles who will open against Pennsyl-
vania are Dooley and Homan, the lat.
ter is rated as one of the best tackles
that ever doomed Bucknell uniform.

FIN Enters Princeton

Two football stars who were ex-

this fall have jumped to other univer-
sites. Bots Brunner, last years back
field star, who left Penn last winter,
has gone to Yale, and Don Griffin,
captain and center of last years

ton.
The Penn faculty committee recently
ruled that Brunner would not be
eligible for this years varsity team
after he made efforts to get back in the
University and was iy uniform on
Franklin Field.
Griffin was declared ineligible when
he fell behind in his studies. He prac-
ticed with Coach Heisman's varsity
squad up until a week ago.
