The team was coached by George
Pick" Case of Lewiston, who was
a former NJ. c. I. and Bates end, and
he was assisted by Physical Director
Frank Stone. These men developed
very good team considering the ex-
tensive injured list and the inexpcr-
fenced material which made up the
squad.
Herbert Newhouse of Pittsfeld was
the popular captain of the team and
was a good leader and valuable man
both in the backfcld where he began
the season and in the line in
the position of tackle where he played
the latter part of the season and
where he strengthened the line to
very eppreciahle extent.
Another player who developed
splendid ability as the season pro-
gressed and who was also pretty we'll
equipped by previous experience was
John Karkos of Lisbon Falls. Kar-
kos was considered by competent
judges to be one of the fastest backs
appearing in prep school football this
year. karkos started in as quarter
back but about the middle of the sea-
son Case pulled him back to halfback
and Shrimp Craig went in at quar-
ter. This shift seemed to strengthen
the team to quite an extent and
worked out we'll. Garfield Wall held
down the other halfback position and
did a good job at it too. Wall did
the most of the punting which in
prep school games is apt to be pretty
frequent and was right in the midst
of the work when it came to heaving
the ball for forward passes. Apple
bee. a local boy, who had had some
previous backfeld experience, re-
turned to school this fall and was
given the full back position where he
make a very creditable showing and
was very consistent ground gamer.
Weatherbee. q lad from Lincoln, was
also used in the backfield, during
part of the season.
Stanley Fuller. who has held down
the center position for couple of
seasons was doing business again
this year at the same old stand and
was right there all the time. He was
one of the strongest defensive players
on the NJ. c. 1. line this year. The
guards were Wakefield, Reynolds,
Little, Gonya and Mason, Tibbetts
and Newhouse played the tackle po-
sitions and Rich, Brown and Wealth
erbee held down the ends

With most of the classic football
duels out of the way for the season,
interest of Bath sports is centered in
the contest between the Army. and
Navy which will be placed at the New
York polo grounds Saturday. This
game occupies a position of its own
among the matches of the year.
Former midshipmen are particular
ly interested in the fact that the
game. unless it is tie will break the
deadlock which now exists in the
series. Each team has now won IL
games. Veterans Of the navy during
the World War and members of the

CHICAGO MAGNATES TO
PLAY HERE SUNDAY

Coming right on the heels OF two
weeks of hard play, the American
Giants will have their work all cut out
for them Sunday when they lock
horns with the Chicago Magnates.
This is one OF Chicago's leading
league teams, and they come with a
lineup composed OF major and minor
league talent OF the first water. This
is the same team that fought such
fierce battles against the Detroit
Stars and other big clubs, and the
best pitching talent will be comman-
decred for the Sunday scrap against
the Foster machine, Tor WIN over the
South Statc-streeters strikes heavy for
prestige, and a club negotiating book
ings at Schorling park encounters no
difficulty whatever in assembling an
aggregation of FASTENERS that never
fails to push the Dark Champs to the
full limit OF their playing ability be-
fore a victory is tabled.
The Magnates have, for many sea-
sons. been dubbed the strongest crew
travelling the Chicago League circuits,
and according to the doping of the
wise heads. they are particularly
framed in ability to knock the Foster
ties from the high pedestal which they
occupy, not only amongst their own
clan. but among the circles OF the
Lily-White leaguers 1t required the
best that the Foster crowd could pro-
duce to down the Progressives earlier
in the season, Tom Williams pitching
a one-hit game in order to gain the
verdict. Then the Fosters have never
wiped out the defeats administered by
the strong Rogers Parks and Beloits
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume
that through the prestige of the Mag
mates, gained through frequent wins
over the aforementioned teams, that
"Rube" and his charges will have to
be up to their very best form if they
take this team to fall Sunday. Al
any rate, the figuring all along the
line in Chicago league circles, seems
to favor the Magnate team in Sun
days encounter.

CLASSY CHICAGO BROWNS
WIN TWO AT OMAHA

OMAHA, Neb., July l0-The classy
Chicago Browns journeyed to Omaha
for three game series with the Muir
phy-did-it Club of that city. The
Browns were successful in winning
two out OF the three games. They
took the Saturday combat by the score
OF 5 to with Gambille pitching a
fye-hit game. The features of the
Saturday game were the sensational
fielding OF King and the hitting OF
Catcher Huff, who connected safely
with the ball five times out OF as many
times at bat. The opening game Of
the twin bill Sunday was won by the
Omaha Club by the score OF Is to )
with Chatham hurting Indifferent
ball than usual. The third and final
game OF the series was pitchers
battle between Gambille and Dykes.
The Omaha boys were unable to con
meet with the balls OF Pitcher Gam
bile. In the seventh inning Hicks
led off with single and short. James
flied out. Shelton batted for Chatham
and doubled scoring, Hicks trying the
score. Kelly doubled, scoring Shelton
with the winning run. The remaining
two innings Gambille had the white
boys at his mercy. Out of the entire
series Catcher Huff batted IA times
and knocked triple. 2 doubles and
3 singles making a record OF ii hits
out OF IL times at bat.
