game the gobs were outplayed al
though ct this stage they led BY
2 to o, the result OF a safety they
were helped to. by dumb Mohawk
football.
This slim margin was wiped
out and defeat seemed certain
when Al Schneider, fleet Mohawk
halfbacA, snatched q forward pass
flung by Ira Mckee, the sailors
leading star, and skipped eighty
three yards for a touchdown.
The game was near its end and
that touchdown was mountainous.
Having been outgained at a ratio
of about two first downs to one,
the sailors could have been pardoned
for believing themselves licked then
and there.
But they did not. Schneider's
sensational gaIlop seemed to have
q remarkable effect. The sailors
took the kickoff on their 1S-yard
line and there started an attack
50 savage that it bewiIdered the
Mohawks. The sailors found the
Indian tackles weak, with the Sec
ondary defense slow In getting up
to the line, and the sailor backs,
principally Nc X e, Carroll and
Struckus smashed through time
after time until the Scouting Fleet
,erS had counted six consecutive
first downs and were on the enemy 8
7-yard line.
Here the Mohawks finally realized
It was still a contest and to their
everlasting credit be It said they
stopped that Navy rush.
The sailors were held for downs
and the Mohawks punted to the
37-yard line.
Surely the gObs were done now
was a common belief. But they
had only begun. Mckee got
through those tackles several more
times and again the sailors were
close to the goal.
Once again the fighting Indians
repulsed them. The MohaWks. after
holding the foe for downs, were
penalized the distance to the goal
for delaying. the game.
1t was matter of seconds now.
The Mohawks were leading, 6 to
2, and only a miraculous touch
down could win for the Gobs. How
to play it surely safe was the
Mohawk's problem. And they
guessed wrong.
Strategy called for a Mohawk
safety. With Mohawk back
tackled behind his ewn goal line,
the sailors would be enriched by
two more points, making the
score to 4, but such q play
would give the Indians first down
ON their own SO.ysrd line, with
four plays to put the sailors COM
pletely out Of striking distance.
The Mohawks chose to punt from
behind the goal, and the ball,
travelling low, sailed into the hands
Of demon gridder, Ira Mckee,
who ran the gauntlet for the win
ming touchdown. He dashed q
wriggled twenty-seven yards.
Bawled up signals led to the gobs
first two points. The Mohawk cen
ter shot the oval to Fullback ID
Lynch, who was taken by surprise
and juggled it long enough to be
thrown behind the goal by Right
Tackle Golden. This occurred II
the first few minutes OF the game
Once the Mohawks were on the
sailors 7-yard line. d They had
gained consistently on line buckle
to get there and 1t appeared thai
more line bucks would carry the
ball over.
But the Indians essayed a double
pass behind the line mad the fancv
stuff killed the opportunity to score

It is this incident above all that
makes me believe that when
O'Connell went to Sand he con-
sidered it an order from some
higher up" given through the
"straw boss" Dolan.
But Jimmy" won't say he be-
lieyes McGraw had anything to
do with it. He says he believes
Dolan knows Just who is behind
the. whole scheme, but, Of course,
Dolan is a sphinx as far as talk
ing is concerned.
~ can't say who gave Dolan
his orders, but / know Dolan gave
the orders to me-" says Jimmy.
O'Connell says when Dolan
spoke to him about seeing Sand
he did think it sort of strange,
but not after he spoke with
frankie Frisch and Pep Young.
''Young and FrisCh were the
big lieutenants on the Giants
club and whatever they said was
pretty near right" says Jimmy.
"They both advised me to see
Sand. That's why / probably
moved in on the deal without ever
giving it a thought"
O'ConnelI knows now how costly
that move has been to him. But
he is hopeful that Dolan will tell
the truth.
Before leaving for the coast
O'Connell tried to see Dolan. He
was not in.
II guess Dolan didn't want to
see me-" says O'Connell.
When the former Seal out
fielder was asked Of the circum-
stances leading up to his dismis-
sal, he hesitated a few moments
before answering.
"The first / knew Of it when
came down to breakfast the
morning after seeing Judge Lam
dis. How would you like to come
down to eat and see your picture
on the front page of every paper
as being barred from baseball 2"
O'Connell visited his old friends
at Recreation Park and what he
had to say to them only they
know.

Years to Go to Beat
wv. A. Larned

w. A. Larned won the United
States National singles tennis
championship seven times. First
in 1901 and 1902, then from 1907
to 1911, inclusive, Larned beat
the best in America. He never
was on a champion doubles
team, however. Bill Tilden
still has three years to go to
beat the wonderful record of
Larned and Of r. D. Sears, who
won seven years in succession.

Americas only double winner, set
up a new worlds record in the
decathlon, the ten event all-around
competition which establishes him
as the worlds greatest all-around
athlete. He also broke the
Olympic record in winning the high
Jump championship, clearing the
bar at feet inches.
OF course, Paavo Nurni, Of Fin
land, was the real outstanding hero
of the Olympic games. In winning
the 1900, 5000 and 5000 meters
fiat races and 5000 meters cross
country race, he established new
worlds records in the first named
two events. Willie Ritola, another
Finn, set UP new Olympic record
figures in the 10000 meters race;
Winters, Of Australia, bettered Dan
Ahearn's long standing worlds
record in the hop, step and jump,
and our 400 and 1000 meter relay
teams also won in new record
times.
Following the Olympic games
Charley Paddock, California's re-
markable sprlnter, showed flash
of his old form by winning both
the 100 and 200-yard dashes in the
National A. A. u. championships at
West Orange, N. D., and equaled
his own worlds record in both
events. Loren Murchison, Of the
Newark A. c., was successful in his
record attempt in the 25O-yard spe-
cial at the same meet.
