RAILWAY LADS
OUT TOBATTLE
NAVY YARD MEN
Southern Must Win Today to
Stay in Race for District
Association Honors.

Southern Railway makes n final
stand today against the Navy Yard in
the District Baseball Association
series at Union League Park. The
railway lads, who COPIED the Terminal
Y. NJ. c. A. pennant, find themselves
forced to win to stay in the running.
With the Elks sitting out front with
a clean slate and win over both
Southern and Navy Yard, the con-
tenders today are out for a victory to
stick in the going.
A win for Navy Yard will give the
southeast lads another crack at the
Elks aud q chance to break even. j.
win for Southern will do more good for
the Elks than 1t will for the Kearney
crew.
Today Frye will probably stick them
over to Giovannetu for the Navy
Yarders, while either Hughes or
Thompson will do the serving for the
Southern Railway lads.
For seven innings yesterday the
Southern lads held the famous Elks
team. In the eighth the Elks showed
over two runs and a win, finishing up
with q 4-to-1 victory.
The series has been close, but none
OF the games has been more holly con.
tested than that of yesterday. Pfeil
served them up for the Elks and
pitched great ball. Hoyt, the Southern
pitcher, was in rare form.
An unusual occurrence happened in
the sixth when Pfeil delivered but
three balls to retire the side, and Hoyt
served over three to retire the Elks.
The standing of the series Is as
follows:

Western Elevens Take
Bull By Horns
On Gridiron

Out West they have the fashion
Of seizing thebull by the horns and
settling the issue without any fuss
or rumpus. For instance, Chicago,
which will tackle Princeton at
Princeton this year will begin on
Northwestern, following up with
Purdue, Princeton, Colorado, Ohio
State, Illinois, and Wisconsin. For
a team which will play a Far
Western team and an Eastern
team, plus the pick Of the Confer
ence elevens, this much may be
said: It has the champion schedule
Of the season. They are nothing If
not cheerfully optimistic on the
shores of Lake Michigan.

With the entire backfield of last
season, and nearly all of the strong
or substitutes, and with a line made
up of four Of the regulars and three
strong substitutes who played last
year. the Navy should have a big
start on most OF its opponents.
In addition to this, there were OPP
pOrtunities for practice at Christians
and Gibraltar during the summer
finally, the cruise itself afforded the
finest kind of a hardening process
for the players.
How They VIII Play.
The probable lineup at the start
Of the game will be. Left end, Parri
left tackle, Bolles; left guard, Car,
ney; center. Larson (captain); right
guard, Frawley: right tackle, King
right end. Titus: quarterback, Koch
Ter: left half, Conroy; right half. Nc.
Kee; left half, Hamilton, fullback.
Rawlings, Noyes. Cruise. Cullen.
Rooney, and others are practically
certain to get a chance in the back.
field at some stage Of the game, and
changes will also be made in the
line. particularly at guard, where
both players are new men in the
varsity lineup.
All the backfield regulars appear
to have gained somewhat in weight,
and lost nothing In speed and &c.
tIvity. Hamilton is the heaviest OF
the four, weighing about 1855. Con
roy, a very fast man, who promises
to do exceptional work this year,
weighs IT'S. Koehler and Mckee
are weighing ITO and 166, respec.
lively.
All are experienced players and
with the numerous high-grade sub.
stitutes behind the line, the Navy
should be among the best equipped
Of the college squads in regard to
backfield material.
Line VIII Be Heavy.
The outlook Is that the Navy line
will also be as heavy as that Of last
year, In spite Of the graduation of
Willkie, the biggest line man the Navy
has ever had. Carney, who Is takins
his place, weighs EOS pounds, which Is
about ten pounds less than Willkie.
On the other hand, F'rawley, who Ia
at right guard, ia about five pounds
heavier than Moore, who he succeeds
Titus, at right end. is at least as
heavy as Even, last years captain,
while the four old men have probably
gained pound or two on the average
While the squad IL so well supplied
with veterans that an eleven OF proven
worth can be selected from the start
Folwell has made II clear that all po
sitions are open. and that the best
men will. land the places no matter
what their length of service may be
An unusually large number of new
midshipmen has been placed on the
first squad, and every encouragement
given them to win a place on the
varsity during their first season, a.
Mckee and Moves did last year. Z.
