N EW 1ORk, December 20.
Foot ball coaches from all
parts of the country will
/ assemble in this city next
Wednesday to participate in
the annual session of the American
Foot Ball Coaches Association.
The meetings always are valuable, in
that they make for contacts that
otherwise would not happen; better
understanding among the gridiron
leaders of the various sections is
established and the opinion is ven
tured that these foregatherings have
accomplished a national feeling in foot
ball such as could not otherwise have
been effected.
Outwardly this meeting is like all
conversations of the sort. Set speeches
conceived in idealism and launched
with fervid purpose, or papers OF
educational value are listened to with
varying degrees of attention and sym
pathy, and everything is very stately
and serious, as becomes a body of men
who are assembled in the interest OF
deep thinking.
Where Real Value Lies.
But as an undercurrent of all the
formality runs a stream of good fel
lowship and diplomatic intercourse
which is very constructive indeed
Perhaps there may be found in this
aspect the real value of these annua

Considering them generally, they
are to be regarded as clearing house:

made it necessary for the man who is

every boy must be crack shot.

fourth inning.
1t was Garments fourth victory
this year.
Joe Eddleman. southpaw, one of
the best Brewer twirlers, failed to de-
ceive the Bushmen in certain spots
and they landed on him with a real
punch occasionally. 1t was another
smart fielding game and only one err
ror was charged, Indianapolis max
ing the nniscue.
1t was the second straight win"
for the Indians and they performed
as though confidence had been re-
stored. The victors poled nine hits,
three being doubles Milwaukee
used two pinch hitters and a pinch
runner in the eighth and McCracken
finished on the Brewer mound.
