CAUGHT ON THE FLY

| That Washington fans are with the
| Nationals heart and soul in the clubs
| great fight to bring here the National
| Cdplta!S first pennant is manifest ed
in the many letters of encouragement
and congratulation received daily by
| Stanley Harris, the team manager.
| One of the latest notes is printed be-
| low:
| Dear Mr.. Harris: The Washing
| ton Monarch Club has instructed
| me to send you a letter congratu-
lating you as manager, and your
teammates individually. for the
| wonderful success thus far at
| tanned in the pennant chase.
Keep up the good work, The
Washington Monarch Club is
unanimous in wishing you con-
| tinued success upon your invasion
| of the West.
Bring home the bacon,
| THE MONARCH CLUB
| (Gaston Stickeler).
In addition to breaking the spell
the Red Sox had held over him, john
| son yesterday got in few good licks
at bat. He got a double and two
singles in four times at bat, and tailed
three times.
Peck. Tate. Shirley and Russell were
| the only Bucks in the lineup who
| failed to get hit. Russell had no
chance, as he never went to bat.
After the sixth inning Harris with
drew Judge and Bluege and took Ruel
out after the seventh. Shirley re-
placed Joe at first base and Taylor
went to third. Tate was used behind
the bat in the last two frames In
| making the changes Harris assigned
Tate to the pitchers accustomed bat
ting position, SO Russell, second huri-
er in the fray, was placed in Ruers
niche in the hitting order.
Veach never made a step toward
McNeely's high fly in the sixth. 1t
eye on the ball in the sun. Flag
stead, after waiting for Neach to
start, made a long run for the fly,
but was much too late.
Fans watched with interest the
score of the Yankee-Mack tilt on the
big board in center field. When the
| final figures showing a Yankee de-
feat were hung up there was noise
| a-plenty from the stands.
Those two bunts in the seventh in
ming were neat ones. McNeely laid
down one toward third base and got
| to first well ahead of Clarke's throw.
Then Bucky Harris dragged one be-
tween Winters and Joe Harris and,
| as Wamby had gone over toward
first to cover, there was no one to
! take the ball.
Harris and MoEndEe have been
| fined s25 each for the verbal tilt with
Umpire Howard Holmes in New York
| last Sunday by President Ban John
son and the club notified that sus-
pensions will follow further trouble
on the field caused by members of
| the Bucks.

CLEMSON BEATEN, 80,
BY SOUTH CAROLINA

COLUMBIA, S. c., October "a
South Carolina defeated Clemson, 8
to 0, yesterday in the twenty-second
meeting of the two institutions on
the gridiron. Ten thousand saw the
contest
The winning points were scored in
the third period, when Boatwright.
Carolina back, made a kick from
placement from the 17-yard line. The
Gamecocks had failed in an effort to
advance by rushing from the 7-yard
line, where they came into possession
of the ball as a result of a run of A
yards by Edmunds, who intercepted a
Clemson forward pass.
The Tigers recovered a Carolina
tumble on the Gamecocks' 30-yard
line just before the game ended, but
Robinson's attempted placement miss
ed by inches.
Carolina, in the first few minutes,
had the ball on the C1emsons 5-yard
line, but a forward pass went over
the goal on fourth down.
Clemson worked the ball to Caro-
lina's 7-yard line in the third period,
but lost the ball on downs.

BIG TEN GRID FANS
ARE KEPT ON EDGE

CHICAGO, October 24-Hopes and
fears of their supporters followed
three Western Conference teams today
as they migrated into enemy territory
to stake their future as leading title
contenders.
Chicago went to Columbus as the
guest of Ohio State, determined to
add to its prestige as the leading dis
putant of Illinois title claims. Ohio
was equally as anxious to preserve
it's record of not having been scored
on this season Both squads were in
excellent condition.
Minnesota, en- route to Iowa City
to engage Iowa. halted at Cedar
Rapids for final workout. The squad
was gloomy after only slight inn
provement during the weeks training
and because of injuries to the reg
ulars. Iowa's bag of tricks was
swelled with new aerial plays at its
penultimate practice session and the
Hawkeyes hoped to advance their
standing. SO far marked on the. debit
side with tie.
At Jackson Mich, the Ann Arbor-
bound Wisconsin Badgers paused
for practice today to complete prep
arations for Michigan tomorrow
Coach Yost's reorganiZed Michigan
eleven, with Capt. Steger at quarter
back, presented a fighting front, but
doubt whether new plays would work
well in view of the changes was eX-
pressed.
Northwestern ended it's arrange
ments for the Michigan Aggies. who
arrived in Evanston in time for a
workout today. While the game has
no bearing on the Big Ten standing
of the Purple, it is expected to in
dicate whether Improvement has been
made since Purdue's victory last
week.
At Illinois, invaded by Depauw, in
tereSt centerS on performances OF
other conference teams yet to engage
the Illini. Iowa, next opponent OF
Illinois, will be given particular at
tention.
Purdue and Indiana not scheduled
this week, plan practice games with
teams of reserves and freshmen to-
morrow.

Every one will recognize the diff
cult task involved in selecting win
ners of these games, the difficult task
not only but the risks, too. In no
sport do there appear SO often and SO
markedly discrepancies between pre-
liminary form and actual form in an
important contest as in the game of
foot ball. The best that the self
constituted prophet can do is to make
predictions upon the basis of games
played thus far, upon his opinion as
| to the ability of the rival coaching
| staffs, his opinion of the potential
qualities of given elevens and the
impression of scouts and officials who
have seen the prospective rivals in
action.
This being done predictions may be
put forth as fair targets for such
factors as unforeseen breaks, teams
suddenly finding themselves in the
| heat of conflict. unlocked for slumps
on the part of favorites and so forth
and so forth. Additional risks arise
| from the fact that from now on pretty
| much all teams are in the same class,
| one result being that beginning at
this date the term upset is pretty
much relegated to the limbo of things
unused
At all events here is the out
look:
Harvard Dartmouth. Dartmouth
should win because of greater de-
velopment and all this implies.
Princeton Notre Dame The
writer picks Princeton, a daring
thing to do, and he may be way
off. But data picked up this week
leads him to make this choice.

In the first place, let me say that
the shoestring pass is by no means
obsolete. 1t is one of the trickieSt
OF the trick plays, if it works, and
every coach hates to be the victim
OF it. The diagram will show the
formation clearly. 1t is play which
depends wholly on surprise and
speed for its execution 1t is used
as one OF series OF plays. two plays
then the shoestring pass. In the two
plays preceding the pass, one end
lags farther and farther to the side
and when it is time for the pass the
play is executed without signals. 1t
may also be used right after the
kickoff or after an out-of-bounds
run.
