it aside.
Out of Tad Jones own mouth the
cause of Georgia is helped. Tad says
that Yaie's best game was played
against Dartmouth a team which on
the admission of it's coach had not
paid a great deal of attention TO de-
fense. Evidently the two weeks of in
tensive preparation. of sharp pointing

fiery psychology aroused by the Cald-

At least Tad Jones says his team was
better on October % than on Novem-
ber II and better ON November IL than
on November 10 against Harvard
Reasoning this way, one deduces
that the more foot ball Yale played
the worse she got. 1t may therefore
be submitted-and the department of
logic at New Haven is called upon for
backing in this conclusion-that on
October s. when Yale played Georgia.
she was al her very best. Add to this
the fact that the Athenians travelled
some l, 100 miles to meet the Ellis, and
also the undoubted fact that Georgia.
unlike Yale, improved as the season
advanced. and what reason is there
for not rating the Bulldogs ahead of
the Ellis at the present time?

Informed that the opening schedule
called for the Nationals to meet the

Washington prexy was more than sur
prised and today forwarded to Presi-
dent Barnard of the American League
a protest against such an arrange
ment, requesting that his clubs first
game of the season be played here.
Griffith bases his protest upon a
verbal agreement reached with other
American League club heads last
Winter that assigned d league season
inaugural to this city permanently
annually as long as Sunday base ball
could not be played in Philadelphia or
Boston. The Nationals were slated to
open in Philadelphia the past season,

local prexy, no business between the
