LEAGUE
HEARS TRADE
OF HORNSBY
First Winter Rumor Has Cardi-
nal sIugger Playing
FIatbush.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The first
session of the Hot Stove League was
held today and its formal Organiza-
ton for the winter effected. Work
was started at once and very tine
batch of rumors prepared TOR I'M
mediate circulation.
The choicest Of the rumors banded
about had the great Rogers Hornsby
coming to the Robins some time dur
ing the winter in big player trade.
The Texan is said to have con-
vinced the Cardinal owners that he
will not play for Branch hickey, and
that their interests win be best con-
served by trading him elsewhere.
The Brooklyn end of the yarn no
doubt had it's foundation in one or
two recent occurrences. During the
world series Squire Ebbets and Sam
Breadon, the Mound City boss, werc
seen together often. They occupied
the same box at the ball yard and
also were spotted together about
town.
At q recent public function an
official of the club is also said to
have declared that ''the Brooklyn
club will be very much in the pen
nant fight next year because Horns
~ VIA NC AZ IAAG AAAC-0Rs 4AS VA
ficial undoubtedly said more than
he intended to, but it indicated that
the matter had been under discussion
by the powers that be.
Even by taking these things into
consideration it is hard to see
how the Brooklyn club is in posi-.
ton to secure a player Of Horns
by,s caliber.. If the st. Louis club
actually has decided to place him
on the market, he will undoubtedly
be auctioned off to the highest bid
der. And when it comes to bid
ding real money for ball players,
the Ebbets-McKeever combine has
thus far run q had second with
the New York club, not to men,
ton several others.
1t may be that Boss Ebbetts has
definitely decided to abondon his
pinch penny" policy and will in
the future compete with the other
big money clubs. The $4,000 he
paid to Portland for shortshop john
ny Jones and Pitcher Rube Var
rison would seem to be q step

PENN GR|DMEN
MUST HUSTLE
FOR JOBS
Not Single Candidate Yet Sure
of His Position
On Eleven.

Coach Lou Young is having his
difficulties at Penn this fall. 1t was
expected that the departure Of John
Heisman, who did not have the sym
pathy Of the followers Of the Quak-
ers last year, would clear the at
mosphere.
1t may seem q strange thing to
say, but the whole trouble at Penn
this fall is too much material. At
least too much material Of about the
same caliber. And Coach Young
lacks the faculty of being able to
select just the right cogs for his
gridiron wheel. He has experiment.
ed to the last degree during the last
four weeks and he is still trying to
find the ideal combination.
Those close to football at Penn con.
tend that not a single man is as yet
sure Of his Job.

NOT told why I was being re-
leased, except that Mr.. Griffith
might take charge of the team
himself. He says he DID TELL
ME. If he told you that, then
you can take it from me finally
and absolutely that he is saying
what is not so.
"When he told me of my re-
lease, it was like this: 'I'm Just
thinking of making a change. IF
my health is ALI right in the
spring, I may handle the team
myself

What we think of this entire
question can hardly be Of inter-
est. DOME Bush says he was
NOT told. Clark Griffith says he
DID TELL him. Each man talked
with us and we have done our
poor best to quote both accurately
and honestly, feeling that Wash
ington fans were intensely inter-
ested in the dismissal of Bush.
Judging from the daily mail
coming to this desk, there are
many fans in this mans town
who refuse to swallow President
Griffith's reported explanation for
Bush's release, Here and there
clubs are being formed to boy
colt the ball club. Just how sue
cessfuf they may be remains to
be seen. The warm breezes Of
May and June ruin many a mans
resolution in this regard.
It is quite probable that the
tempest will not down until the

Football Attracting
Bigger Crowds With
Every Contest

The football season may be
early, but the interest in the
great college sport has suf-
fered no relapse. Crowds now
are turning out for the mid
season games, like they did
only for the big contests in the
past. Five of the many games
played last Saturday attracted
186, 200 persons. The Harvard
Holy Cross game at Cambridge
led with total Of $4,000, the
Michigan-Oh State game at
Ann Arbor drew $4,000, Penn
sylvania and Columbia played
before $4,000 on Franklin
Field, $4,000 saw Notre Dame
play Princeton at Princeton, and
$4,000 made the trip to the
Yankee Stadium to see Pitts
burgh and Syracuse. Many
other games also drew attend

time Of the year.

The only certainty is that two

they were running in consomme

Jack of them gave all he had, stop
ping the Virginia attack time and
again, sometimes for healthy
losses. The forwards stood out in
strong contrast to the backs,
though, when Branner and Groves
went into the backfield with the
third quarter, Maryland's attack
stiffened appreciably. It brought
touchdown.
Most noticeable in the Maryland
eleven was it's indecision. Plays
dragged, seldom going off with any
snap. Fumbling, too, marred the
backs work all through that first
half. The fine defensive work of
the forwards was sadly nullified
by the dumb, dragging offense.
V. P. l., on the other hand, had
backs who ran as though going
somewhere. Sutton, Buchanan,
Moss and Flory had speed, picked
up fast and went till stopped, an
excellent thing in backs.
