ELEVEN SHOWS
UP C[ARKSbURG

Supporters Of the Washington foot
ball eleven are today accIaiming It rs
one Of the strongest professional clubs
in the United States, having defeated
Syracuse last Sunday and Clarksburg
yesterday, both of which having de-
feated the strong teams Of the East
and West, respectively.
Clarksburg was decisively whipped,
although the score Of 16 to 7 does not
indicate that Washington had any
soft time. After the first quarter.
when the Mountaineers scored their
lone touchdown, they did not penc-
trate the Black and White defense for
single first down.
The claim of the locals supporters
Is not groundless. Syracuse has won
from the fast elevens of the East, in
Guiding Binghamton and Oakdale,
and Hammond, and Akron, in the
West. The Clarksburg team has won
five games so far from Western elev.
ems. including Pittsburgh. Each of
these opposing elevens in the past two
Sundays had until then been unde-
feated and very little scored upon.
When the very best professionsr
elevens come here, then will local fans
know definitely what the caliber Of the
Black and White really is. Coach
Heagerty and all of the players assert
that they fear no team in the country,
and are very anxious to play all
corners.
The sensation Of yesterdays game
was the 81-yard run from scrimmagc
by George Beyers, the District sandlot
product, who was substituted for Hud-
son in the opening period. His work
was the best bit Of open field running
seen at the park this year. and the
run was the longest.
Johnny Bleir, another Washington
boy, really gave the margin of vic
tory to Tim Jordan's crew. His field
goal at an angle from the 1S-yard
line In the second quarter followed in
the same period by a touchdown anu
goal from touchdown gave him the
credit. In scoring the touchdown, he
made a wonderful catch of forward
pass from Sullivan.

For the first time since 1915 Cornell
is sending an unbeaten team to Phila-
delphia, an eleven that has easily
overcome every opponent that II has
met so far, an eleven that In seven
games has rolled up 351 points. But.
regardless Of all that. the Penn game
has been treated as a brandnew prob
lem, and the team has been trained
and developed to meet a Quaker team
which will play at least SO per cent
better football against Cornell on
Thanksgiving day than 1t has -s-
played in any game so far this year.
Long and often unfortunate expert
ence has taught the Comedians just
what to expect from the Quakers. and
they are going down to Philadelphia
prepared for the hardest game Of the
year.
Week Of Defensive Work.
This has been a week of intensive
defensive work against Penn forma-
tons, particularly against the over
head game. 1t has been a week of re-
hearsal of all the basic plays which
the Ithacans have used with SO much
power and success this year, the mas
terry of new plays and the. develop
ment of an aerial attack. 1t has been
a hard week for Coach Dobie and the
trainers because they have had the
task of keeping a squad that began
practice on September Is. and which
has gone through a long season, in tip
top physical and mental condition for
the crucial game Of the year. 1t can
be said that they have been successful.
and that the Ithacans will be there in
full strength next Thursday.
Although Coach Dobie has done a
bit of experimenting this week. and a

Jim Mccormick, who was one OF
the great pitchers of baseball and
who died not long ago in Paterson,
N. j., pitched underhand when he
began, and IL he had been pitching
today he would have been a leader In
one of the major leagues.
In 1878 and 1879 they were Just
beginning to break away from under
hand pitching. Side arm pitching
came in about that time. Umpires not
only had to watch the ball in the
days when underhand pitching was
the only kind that was legal, but
they were also compelled to keep an
eye on the pitchers arm and tell
him not to get II above his waist
1t was as common to yell at the
umpire, Make him keep his arm
down, Mr.. Umpire" as II Is common
now for the coach to yell at the bat.

Wherein Mays is not like the
pitchers Of the days that have gone
to join Ptolemy and julius Caesar,
is the fact that he pitches a fast
curve with an underhand motion. The
old boys. who threw underhand years
ago, did not know much about the
curve, and IL they had known any.
thing about It they would have had
a lot of trouble to counterfeit Mays
curve.
Only One Curve.
Analyze pitching to its final separa-
ton OF twists and squirmings and you
will find that there Is really but
one positive curve in baseball.
There is heap of talk about

various other departures from a

is just the one curve which the right

Mlburn Saylor Dies
In A Railroad
Accident

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 81
Milburn Saylor, Twenty-Five years
old, of indianapolis, a Big Four
railroad fireman, who few years
ago was a prominent contender for
the lightweight boxing champion
ship, was killed here today when a
string of cars running wild crashed
into his engine. Saylor was pinned
against the boiler head and scalded
to death by the released steam. The
engineer of the train was seriously
injured. Saylor started his boxing
career in 1904 and participated in
more than 200 battles. In 1914 he
won the lightweight and welter-
weight titles of Australia. He had
not been active in the boxing game
for more than two years.

This week will find both Mercury
and Mohawk practicing assiduously
for next Sundays contest, from
which. unless the score be tied, will
emerge an undisputed champion
eleven. Each team has now beaten
the class of the city with the excep-
ton Of each other. When they meet
1t is probable neither will be a gen.
eral favorite to win. Southwest fans
will be backing Mercury and south
east fans will be there confident Of
another Mohawk victory.
Hard-fought but clean should be
the game. in the characteristic fash
ion Of both teams.
Mercury polished off the Knicker-
bockers neatly, although only one
touchdown and a field goal were
scored. With Giradi. Burke, MicRler
and Thomas taking turns at carry
ing the ball, the southwest team
marched forty-five yards through the
Knicks and crossed the goal line in
the first period, Burke making the
llIldl DluUSe. SULLIVAN, Cateu DdCk
from left tackle, planted a forty-five-
yard drop-kick over the bar for three
more points in the second period.
The knickerbockers fought courage
ously in the second period and held
Mercury scoreless.
Failing to score in the first period,
the Mohawks settled to the task in
earnest in the second and finally
broke through. Irving Deakins, at
left tackle, opened a hole in the line
for Fullback Bush Clarkson to get
started, and the fleet southeast youth
galloped sixty yards through the
Brookland eleven for a touchdown.
Jumbo Eggleston, resembling an
animated rubber ball, bounded ahead
for many fine gains for the Mohawks
and scored the second touchdown in
the third period on a line plunge.
Btorkland showed excellent general
ship at quarterback, and Lawrence
Taylor and Freidinger proved ca
pable ground-gainers as halfbacks.

Catholic University and George
Washington are staging their en-
gagement in the Central High School
stadium. The Board of Education of
the District extended the institutions
the courtesy Of the field and IN re-
turn the colleges have invited the
high school boys and girls.
The contest Is scheduled for 1890
p. m. Thanksgiving Day which will
give those inclined chance to get
a regulation dinner or will allow the
football fans another chance to go
to the Georgetown-Bethan contest.
Teams Well Matched.
Despite the fact that the George
Washington eleven has been in a
slump recently it is expected that the
contest with c. U. will be a nip and
tuck affair. The Brooklaaders
emerged from last years contest with
q 10 to 0 score.
Toward the close of the game the
Hatchetites, with the score to 0
against them appeared to be sure OF
a touchdown.
With the ball on the 12.yard line,
Daily heaved forward pass right
into Denault's hands and that worthy
romped ninety-two yards for a touch
down, which put the game on ice for
the Brooklanders.
On performances this season the
teams look to be well matched. The
Hatchetites have played in-and-out
football, but are expected to display
their best stuff against the Brook
landers. Coach Harry Robb. of c. u,
is intent upon landing the final en-
gagement. Coach Quigley will put
the finishing touches on his team
this week in order to. get the eleven
in first-class condition for the en-
gagement.
Bethany Is Strong.
Bethany College makes its first
appearance of the season here on
Thanksgiving Day. Coach Buhlaud's
team rolled up sixty-six points on
Saturday against West Virginia Wes-
leyan and showed plenty OF stuff In
winning.
The Bethany line is powerful and
strong backfield. The ends appear
to be the only weak spots in the
visiting team, and. with O'Connel
and Florence thanking the Hilltop
line, there Is sure to be plenty OF
trouble for Buhland's lads.
Bethany made a big hit here last
fall in playing against George WASH
ington and Georgetown. The Hill
toppers won by a 14-to-7 score and
had to go the entire route. Both
elevens are rated as being stronger
than they were last season.
Georgetown came out of the Bos-
ton College game in fine fettle, al
though the game was hard fought.
