Now, without being boastf,il, the
Mohawk leaders express confidence.
They regard the Scouting Fleet as
q first-class enlisted mems team in
stead OF an eleven that might com.
pare favorably with the several
army and marine teams that sparkle
with former West Pointers AMI Naval
Academy stars.
They look back a year and re-
view the games played by the
OuanticO seconds with the Mer-
curys. Mercury won one game,
to 6, and the Leathernecks the
other by the same score. Later
the MOhawks defeated Mercury,
10 to 8.
1t was just such a Quantico eleven
that played the Scouting Fleet that
met the Washington sandlotters a
lection of Devil Dogs the Sailors
were able to score only one touch
down, and that by a 9S-yard run
with fumbled ball, they cannot
hope to find the Mohawks easy
prey.
The Mohawks believe they are
stronger now than they were in
1923, despite the small scores by
which they have conquered. It WAS
not until their last game. in which
they trimmed Fort Humphreys,
n to 0, that. the sandlot champions
rounded into first-class shape.
In three games their goal line
has been uncrOssed, and they have
scored thirty-nine points. The
Eagles got as close as the two
yard line. Fort Humphreys was
able to score only one first down
through the line and One on for.
ward passing.
The MohawkR looked good in the
Fort Humphreys game. They ex-
pect to reach the peak of form in
the Scouting Fleet contest.
The Scouting Fleet has several
players who have made their foot.
ball marks in fast company, but the
team is made up principally Of en-
listed men. Among the ex-colle-
gians on the Mohawk roster are
Ed Lynch, Eberts, Cooney, Scho-
field, Barrett, Dreyfuss, Hughes
and Licarione.
It Is probable the Mohawks will
match the Sailors star for star, il
not overTnatch them, and 1t is q
hard, unsentimental fact that lead
ing independent teams, be they
football, baseball or basketball, reg.
ularly prove their superiority over
marine, army and navy enlisted
mems teams.
The Washington times., 1924-10-30

AAOW1 HSAS 10 why the MARINE
Corps raves.
There are two football eIevens
down at Quantico. though few
knew it until last Monday. First,
there is the Marine Corps eleven,
numbering former college stars
and a few exceptionally good en-
listed men. The former college
stars, such as Zeke Bailey, Frank
Goettge, Liversedge, etc, ETC.,
hold commissions in the Marine
Corps. This eleven represents
the entire Marine Corps.
Second, there is the team that
went up to New York and was
defeated by the Scout Fleet
eleven, z to 6, at the Yankee
Stadium. That team represents
the Quantico base only and, with
a single exception, was composed
of enlisted men. There was an
agreement between the Marines
and the Navy that neither team
might use more than one officer
at Z, time during Mondays con-
test.
Now, once more, here is the
why for the raving by the United
States Marine Corps.
Ever since General Smedley
Butler introduced football at
Quantico the Marines have hoped
for a rating with the varsity
elevens of the country. They are
particularly friendly to George
town, though those three defeats
hardly show it, because the Hill
toppers were the first. among the
colleges to give the Gyrenes a
date.
When Secretary DENLY, a for
mer Michigan player, made 1t
possible for the Gyrenes to meet
Yost's eleven at Ann Arbor, they
were delighted, though beaten.
This year they obtained a game
with Vanderbilt and hope to meet
the Commodores again next sea-
son. Georgetown will hardly turn
down any request from the Ma
rines for another game, the Hill
toppers preferring to defeat their
rivals before severing relations.
Naturally, to have it broadcast
that "the Quantico Marines were
defeated by the Eastern Scout
Fleet team" hurts. 1t tends to
spread an erroneous doubt of the
ability of the Marines on the
gridiron.
OF course, everybody in the Ma
rines knows that their crack
eleven did not even go to New
York for last Mondays game,
but how about those not connected
with the Marine Corps? That's
something else again.
Nobody in the Marine Corps
suggested these remarks in this
column. Indeed, The Washington
Times told the truth when it
called the team defeated in New
York the marine reserves" But
it seems only fair that this con-
dition be known, especially with
the real Marines battling Fort
Benning here on. Saturday.
By the way, the Eastern Scout
Fleet will appear here Sunday

CHEVY CHASE TOURNEY NJ
PLAY FOR CUP STARTS

A tightly fought 25-hole match
between Sam Dalzell and John w.
Childress was the feature OF the
first round Of match play in the
Liberty Cup Competition at the
Chevy Chase Club. The men fought
ia nip and tuck battle until Dalzell
halved the 25-hole and lost by
reason of his handicap.

against the Mohawks. If there is
any small lingering doubt in the
minds of any football fans re-
garding the identity of these two
Marine elevens they should look
at the Marines battling the crack
Fort Benning army eleven on
Saturday and then look OF the
team allegedDto have beaten them
In action against the Mohawks,
admittedly a sandlot team.
Rob Roy Mackey, of the Mo
hawks, is running around cover
ing bets that his team will win
Sundays game. If the Mohawks
do win from the Scout Fleet team
well, maybe the GyTenes won't
rave quite so much. On the other
hand, their rawlings may become
worse. One never can tell.
These Be Rough Times.
ONLY ten representative East
ern football elevens remain
undefeated this season-Yale,
Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Lafay-
cite, Lehigh, Rutgers, Syracuse,
Colgate, New York University,
and the Connecticut Aggies. Of
these Yale, Dartmouth, Lehigh,
New York University and the
Connecticut Aggies have been tied.
Yale and Dartmouth battled to
a tie. Lehigh tied Rutgers, 13
to IL, and Princeton, 0 to O..
Union College tied N. Y. u, 6
to s, and Tufts. battled the Con-
necticut Aggies, 0 to 0, in their
first game of the season.
Until w. and j. scored that
touchdown against Lafayette in
New York, only two field goals had
been scored against McCracken's
crack eleven, one by Hobart and
the other by Bucknell. Every other
representative Eastern eleven has
seen its goal line crossed for at
least one touchdown.
These, indeed, do be rough times
for football eleyens. Look at the
once famous Pittsburgh Panthers,
beaten already by Lafayette and
Carnegie Tech. Penn State has
suffered at the hands and feet of
Georgia Tech and Syracuse.
Princeton, tied by Lehigh, fell be-
fore Notre Dame. Cornell dropped
its games to Williams and Rutgers.
Harvard barely beat Holy Cross
and then was defeated by Dart
mouth.
Boston College, for several years
one of the strongest teams in the
East, fell before Syracuse. The
Navy has won but one out of four
games, losing to Marquette, Prince
ton and West Virginia Wesleyan.
West Virginia lost to Pittsburgh.
while w. and j. lost to LAFAYETTE.
In the South Atlantic section
Wake Forest humbled w. and l..
Virginia Tech humbled Maryland
and SO did w. and L. Georgia
Tech and Virginia defeated the
Flying Cadets. Georgetown has
lost to the Marines and Bucknell.
He is certainly a fool who would
predict scores on the gridiron
these days. The old standards
have gone by the board. The lit
tlest of the little fellows frequently
flash real football now where once
only the big fellows knew the trick.

and hood drawn down over
his boyish features.
Like Walter johnson in base
ball, Sarazen has done about
everything there is to. be done
on the field of golf including
caddying.
If he were to walk on the
links with a roller skate on each
foot and one on his elbows, he
couldn't attract a bigger field.
Better than that he could
wear stills and sell little more
standing room to a curious pub
lie which is always willing to
risk its eyes on anything once.
The world is always trying
to Guido itself and that is the
motive which some day will
force a prominent golfer to tee
off the Washington Monument
into the Gulf of Mexico.
Unfortunately Sarazen is
daschund and not quite tall
enough to do this, but if he
were a ball player he could
easily knock fungoes under a
folding bed. Or walk beneath
a threshold with a high hat on.
This incandescent golfing is
going to do one thing to civilize
the Eskimo. They have to do
all their slicing in one six
months stretch up there, which
is q hardship on both the player
and galleries.
Electrically lighted courses
and steam-heated greens will be
the outcome, so that golf will
be "a year-round sport az well
as Neutrality-suspicious. pastime.
After that you can let your
imagination loose.

| New York. Jan. 10.-Two women and three children, all members of the same family, were killed in fire that swept through three Brooklyn apartment houses late yesterday. The dead are Mrs. Mary Esler, AS. her five year old son. Steve. her daughter-in-law. Mary, 2S, and two grandchildren, Harold. six. and Cath erine. 12, children of Mary and George Esler. Jr.
 The fire started in the center of three buildings that stood in a row. It was in this building that the Esler family lived on the third floor. Har- old was killed when he jumped from window of the apartment and his father was seriously injured when he also jumped from the flames.
 Although the origin of the fire was not definitely established those direct ing three nvestigations-the fire marshal's, the district attorneys and the fire partment's-worked on g theory that a whiskey still had ex- plodcd.

He returned with thirty pos. semen but the camp was found desert ed, except for Laura upthegrove, a camp follower, who was wounded ii the scalp and leg, and the wife oi Wesley Mobley, who was sitting beside the body of Joe Ashley. brought down by a rain of bullets as he arose from bed to fight.
 The man hunt, with an increasing number of possemen then was gotten under way in earnest.
 Possemen burned the Joe W. Ashley home, that of his son-in-law, and All bert Miller's grocery.
 The bandit camp was three miles from the nearest roadway, in a dense clump of trees and vegetation through which it was impossible to see more spot, officers asserted, the Ashley gang planned its holdups and bank robberies. One of the largest stills ever captured in this section was found in the camp.
 Murder, bank robbery, highway rob- seas, and robbery of rum runners, are among the crimes credited to tke Ash ley gang.
