Contests Are Being Staged Foot Ball Realm Today
D. C. COLLEGE TEAMS
ALL ON FOES FIELDS

Today doomed as fine opportunity
for the University Of Maryland and
Georgetown gridmen to gain ma
tionwide fame. With no college
games scheduled locally here, interest
was centered at New Haven, where
the Old Liners are meeting Yale, and
at Philadelphia, where the Hilltoppers
are clashing with Pennsylvania.
Catholic University and Gallaudet
invade Virginia for a pair of con-
fiicts and they are figured to bring
home the bacon. The Brooklanders
are at Lynchburg, while Gallaudet Is
at Randolph Macon. George WASH
ington was primed for it's game with
Pennsylvania Military team at Ches-
ter, Pa.
Although Maryland is not expect
ed to topple Yale, it promised to sup
ply the Bulldog something to worry
about. The Old Liners were to en-
ter the fray with Supplee, regular
end at quarterback.
Georgetown also is not figured to
win over the sturdy Pennsylvania
combination. Coach Lou Little of
the Blue and Gray, however, ieft the
city confident that his team would
give good account of itself.
With the varsity away, the Cath
Ollie University freshmen were TO
tackle the Apprentice School team OF
Newport News, Va, in the Brook
land Stadium.

Jim Barnes won the open title at
Columbia here in 1921, flashing into

that won with many strokes to spare.
S;arazen toppled Barnes from his

There has been a total of 20 points
scored against Business in two series
games, as Western High beat the
StenogIaphers. "a to O. However,
there is one outstanding reason for
the failure of Business to do well
in the titular competition. There are
not more than 800 boys, probably, in
the student body at Business, and the
foot ball material combed from this
small number is about as productive
as diamond manufacturer.
Frequent fumbling on both sides
marred yesterdays activities. At
times Eastern played just as poorly
as it's lowly rivals. There was one
scintilating spot in the Ninth Street
ers' play, though. The small crowd
in the stadium was made to realize
that Munson is one of the best de-
fensive centers in the high schools.
If Coach Lynn Woodwork could dis
cover several "Munsons' he undoubt-
eddy would make the rival teams sit
up and take notice.
1t is regretted in high school ranks
that the team Eastern presented yes
terday could not tackle Western and
Tech. With Flaherty, Sweeney and
Eggleston in a revamped lineup, the
East Capitol street boys showed fire.

Ty Co6b's ResolUe.
Genius Attire

I opened the gates of Cobb's magma
ton to these paradises Of the North
Finally, after LeiGy had touched
upon the other attractions. he began
telling COBB about the major league
ball parks. ''They're vast Stadiums,
built of stone and concrete, enormous
places like palaces. just like the old
Romans and the Greeks used to have
for their games. Just like the places
where the lions used to fight and
where the gladiators battled hand to
hand till one was dead.
Why, You think we had a big
crowd out today. Say, in them big
cities crowd like this couldn't be
seen in them parks. If they didn t
have more people than that out to a
f, game they wouldn't open the gates.
They're more people out to game
in them big towns than there is peo-
pie in all of Augusta"
Then he told him of the fame that
came to major league stars. How
all the metropolitan newspapers ran
their pictures, how great writer's de-
voted columns TO them, how every
body honored them. a star ball play
er was, according to Leidy, much
| more important than the President.
The Picture Crows
He would tell the youngster of the
stars the game had produced; the
group of base ball immortals. He re-
| lated their deeds of valor. lie would
give detailed account of the base
stealing ability of some of the old
stars and add, after a moment of re-
Election, but to be frank with YOU.
Ty, ! think you got more speed than
any of them fellows had" He told
| him Of the great hitters the game had
produced, Delahanty and Arson, Wag-
ner and Lajoie, who was up then, and
| of others. He would pause and con-
tide to Cobb, but l think you could
become a better hitter than any OF
| them fellows"
And so, day after day, Leidy, the
! plain and unassuming Lcidy, would
| call upon his imagination to build
new pictures for his imaginative pu-
| pill. Day after day he added tinsel to
| the goal he was making brilliant; he
was firing ambition in the boy. Leidy
| became more and more convinced that
! Cobb had all the dormant qualities
! and all that was needed to start the
| blaze was incentive. This Leidy was
| doing and he was pleased to note that
the boys interest became keener. He
! continually asked questions, sought
| information. The boy was construct
| ing a picture of his own. 1t was his
new goal He had firmly resolved &c
| become part Of the Leidy picture.

was canoeing down a small Northern

and food was becoming light in the
grub sack. So the two campers decid
ed to have some fresh meat in the
shape of partridge, the season then
being open.
So one night they stopped early. and
after setting up the tent hurriedly,
set off into the woods to hunt. They
hunted long and diligently, but saw
not a feather. Tired and rather dis
couraged, they returned to camp. AS
they approached the tent they I'M
loaded their guns, and had no sooner
done so than six beautiful cartridges
flew out of their tent.
The birds had apparently come in
to investigate while the hunters were
away in search of them.

CHAPTER VII.
BY II. q. SALSlNGER.

THE real development OF Ty
Cobb as a ball player did not
take place on the playing field
at Augusta, but in a Summer amuse-
ment park. Here, where the work
ing classes OF Augusta sought relief
and recreation in the Summer eve
nings, the foundation was laid for
Cobb's meteoric rise and dynamic
career.
Leidy decided, after closely observ-
ing Cobb's play, that this boy could
not be developed by ordinary coach
ing. He knew the boy had imagina-
ton, and he concluded that the most
effective methods with him would be
to appeal to this imagination.
Cobb was a stranger in Augusta
and one day IIeidy asked him what
he was doing that evening. Cobb re-
piled that he had no engagement and
Leidy invited him out to the Summer
park.
This park. at the end of the car
line, maintained by the street car
company because of the financial ad-
vantages to be gained, had the usual
summer PARK pmenl--merry- go
round. Ferris wheel, vaudeville show,

this place Leidy took his youthful re-
cruit. They walked around and Leidy,
finally, suggested that they sit down
