he was forced to leave school to
earn living, professional teams
offered him contracts. He pitched

MARYLA AND
FOE TOUCH

A tough, early season game is ex.
pected by the University OF Mary
land when it tackles Washington
College in Byrd Stadium at College
Park this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
The Old Liners had difficulty in
disposing of the Eastern Shoremen
last year, 13 to 0, and the team
from Chestertown is said to be bet
ter. although not bigger, than in
1925. keenan,, 320.pound guard, Is
not with them this season.
Not word for press purposes
has been sent from Washington
College, and Coach Byrd, OF Mary
land, has taken this as warn
ing to look out"
Maryland will start the following
PLAYERS: Adams, left end; Zuiick
left tackle; Wondrack, left guard;
Bafford, center; Herzog, right guard;
Winterberg, right tackle; keenan,,
right end; Kessler, quarterback;
Captain Stevens, left halfback; LIN
kous, right halfback; Scharder' fuli-
back.
Five of these were regulars last
year; two were reserves in 1928; one
was ineligible a year ago, and the
other three were with the yearllngs
last season.
The backfield looks good, but the
line is uncertain. The team Is heavy
but, as q whole, inexperienced.
The Washington times., 1926-09-25

The Yankees have Aaron Ward,
Spencer Adams and Mike Gazella
to protect them on the infield, and
Roy Carlisle for utility man in the
outer gardens. Gazella was called
upon many times by Miller Higgins
during the past summer, and deliv-
cred both in the field and with the
bat, at short, second, and third
base. The others have been in the
big leagues too long to question
their ability.
The Indians reserve squad cor.
sists of seven men, Infielders Guy
Lacy, Bob Knode, Ernie Padgett
and Johnnie Hodapp, and Outfield-
ers Cliff Lee, Pat McNulty and
Fred Eichrodt. Cliff Lee proves to
be the most valuable as he can
play first, the Outfield, and also can
catch, besides being a good batter.
or the others, KnOde has been the
only one to show any hitting abll-
ity, rapping the ball for 1888.
The Cardinals are fortunate I'm
having a versatile utility man in
their reserve. This chap is
George TOrpOrCer and the gent
with the eye glasses can play
short, second or third with equal
skill. However. George is not n
giant ut the plate-which means
much in a short series.
Holm and Flowers are the other
reserve men in the Red Bird squad
and both are excellent feeders and
effective batsmen.
AS often stated a team is no
stronger than its reserves and for
the coming world series 1t seems
the Cardinals will be better off in
this respect than their opponents.

Starting shortly after 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when word
was flashed over the wires of the
victory, the celebration was on. A
salute of 81 guns at the grounds
Of the ST. Louis Exposition, was the
official signal for the celebration.
Whistles at factories blew, horns
honked, shots were fired, people
stood in the streets and shouted
and office windows in the business
district were opened to belch forth
streams 81 confetti and torn bits
Of paper.
Long into the night. the out
burst lasted. Automobiles, with
horns blowing continuously, and
back firing, paraded i'm disorder
until almost midnight.
Men and women alike rode on the
running boards and tops of the ears
shouting until hoarse that The
Cardinals won.' Traffic officers. at
the risk Of their lives, attempted to
keep the jam moving, but with
little avail.
A heavy rain early in the evening
did not check the uproar nor
dampen the ardor Of the wild fans.
Pedestrians paraded through the
papeF-covered sidewalks, which,
moistened by the heavy rain, made
footing somewhat unpleasant, or
rather would have under normal cir
cumstances.
The Cardinals had won the pen
nant and If there was anyone in the
neighborhood of St. Louis who did
not hear about it last night, he was
resting in peace.

Defaulters killed what glory there

voted their time to make the event
worth while. In the two rounds OF
match play. no less than 12 players
defaulted In the consolation round

such numbers that the two remain

Numerous defaults resulted I'm

others from playing, and in most
cases they compelled their Op-
pOnents to wait around the start

Surely, 1t is high time something
should be done. It is up to the
