OPPONENT IN
B. c. TEAM
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Catholic University is the only
local college eleven faced with a
difficult assignment in it's open
ing football game tomorrow. The
Cardinals, stronger and more
spirited than last year, are to
engage Boston College in Boston,
Mass.
Boston College annually puts
out one of the strongest teams in
college ranks. It's football teams
have not been as formidable as
those of 10 years ago, but the
Eagles still carry some of their
old power.
Catholic University enters its
battle with Boston College with
greater vigor than last year when
the Cardinals fell easy prey to
the New Englanders.
The Cardinals are stronger
and more spirited today. Not
only have they a larger squad,
but the material is Of better
grade. Dutch" Bergman, head
coach, finds himself surrounded
with a supply of necessary re-
serves such as were wOefully
missing last year.
In many respects the Catholic
U.-Boston College contest is the
most important to football lovers
in washington. Their eyes will
be turned toward Boston, for they
want to know in what manner
Bergman's 1881 edition will &C
quit itself. Moreover, Boston Col
lege will be the hardest team the
Cardinals will meet this season.
Easy Pickings
Maryland, George washington,
and Georgetown will have easy
pickings for their openers. The
Old Liners are to entertain
College and the East
ern Shoremen will take their an
nual beating.
Lebanon Valley comes down
from Annville, Pa, to engage
Georgetown in the Clark Grif-
fifth Stadium at 2:3O p. M, sac
rificing itself so Georgetown
can have a nice workout for
the game with Western Mary
land one week later. \
Not since 1921 has Lebanon
Valley proven troublesome for the
Hilltoppers. That year George
town won by a scant 10 score,
Paully Byrne, then a freshman
crashing into his first, game, 60
ing over for the touchdown.
Shenandoah College steps out
of it's class in meeting George
Washington. They'll probably
need an accountant to keep tab
on the touchdowns the powerful
Colonials will roll up.

fifth Stadium in a game which
is purely a breather, and
Georgetown'S winning figures
should read more like a pi-
nochle score than a football

Maryland will be meeting

overs, although you couldn't
get either Tommy Mills or Cur
ley Byrd to tell their teams
these games are the same as

Neither should George Wash

ball threat, have any difficulty
with Shenandoah College in
their conflict at Central High
Stadium.
But more important than any
of these games, and a far bet
ter balanced game, too, is the
Catholic University Boston Col
lege game at Boston. This is
really one of the big games of
a Saturday which isn't any too

With his most important test
of the year only 18 days away,
the weeping walloper is petulant,
belligerent, sarcastic and queru-
lous by turns. The man of. many
moods doesn't seem to care
whether he fights Primo Camera
on October IL or not, despite
the fact that the show promises
to be a sell-out.
Sharkey said he couldn't fight
Camera until October IL because
his left hand was swollen. Leon
See, the Italians manager, said
the fight would be held on the
first, as originally scheduled, or
not at all. The New York COM
mission threatened to ditch the
fight altogether. Promoter James
Jabbering Johnston; with $40,-
600 advance sale in his pocket,
cursed under his breath and al
most tore his wig off.

told newspaper men. "TlI be

will take a run-Out powder"
M. Leon See waxed apologetic
in his indignant denial. He
promised that the magnificent
Primo would be there on the
18th for one and all to see. And
each fighter was ordered to post
$4,000 forfeit today to insure the
match.
The stricken gladiator, Sharkey,
then rushed off to Boston for a
needed rest of one week. He will
resume training here on October
2, unless he changes his mind
again.
The truth is that Sharkey
detests the training grind and
is in a sorry state of mind. Re-

11H1CS SGdAA NOAACoPOAuCAS
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The
old adage of where there is a
will, there's a way" bobs up in
a new situation regarding Gen.
Alvin Crowder, Griff hurler.
Crowder, who won a $1,000
bonus for himself by registering
his eighteenth victory of the sea-
son recently against the Chicago
White Sox has the chance to
become richer by $500 before the
curtain is rung down.
The chance lies in the posi-
bilities of his winning two more
games. If Crowder's record reads
20 pitching triumphs by the time
the 1881 pennant campaign is
a thing of the past an extra $500
will be his.
Johnson Gives Him Chance
That he will be given the
opportunity of earning the half
grand, is brought out by the fact
that Manager Johnson has
admitted that he will use Crowder
Sunday against the Boston Red
Sox at Griffith Stadium as well
as today.
CrOwder, who was nomi-
mated as the Griff mounds
man for this afternoons second
game of this series against the
Yankees, when Manager John.
son made a switch in his plans
after first stating that Brown,
Marberry, CrOwder and Weaver
would work in that order, can
register his nineteenth victory
of the season by turning back
the Mccarthy men today.
If he is successful, he'll get his
chance of winning his twentieth
Sunday against the Red SoX. If
he fails, naturally there won't be
any reason for using him against
the Sox.
So the Generals efforts will
be two-fold today as he takes
the mound. First off, he'll be
out to defeat the Yanks because
of the Importance attached to
the battle to win second place.
Next, he'll be out there to gain
his nineteenth pitching triumph
in order to get the extra $500
he can earn by winning once
more, as mentioned.
Deal Last Winter
All of this extra money" busi-
ness brings out that Crowder
and Uncle Clark Griffith must
have done a great deal of tur-
key talking when they discussed
contract terms last winter.
The probable upshOt Of it is
Griff figured largely on a pen
nant this year and wanted to
give CrOwder an added incen.
tive for doing his best work.
The Griffmen failed to win a
pennant this season, but Crowd
er's excellent pitching during the
past two months, has helped the
team no little in it's fight for
second place. The Generals COM
plete record for the year reads:
18 victories against 10 losses. He
has won his last nine games.
Manager Johnson's men idled
yesterday because of the charity
double-header scheduled at the
Polo Grounds. The Giants played
the Robins in the first game
while the Yanks battled the same
Robins in the nightcap.
A twin bill tomorrow will end
the present scrap between the
Yanks and Griffs. A pretty good
guess as to which team will finish
in second place, no doubt will be
easy to make after these con-
tests.

JUDCE BRODSKY CLEARED OF ALL
 THE CHARGES
He Was One Justice Who Would Not Knuckle Down to Present N. Y. Investigators

New York. Jan 31-(UP)-Magis trate Louis B. Brodsky stood cleared to-day of all charges brought against him by Referee Samuel Seabury. The appellate division, presiding Justice Victor J. Bowling dissenting. exonerated him by vote of four to one.
 The appellate division inquiry, thereby, lost its first engagement with a judge who chose to fight it's attempt to oust him. Brodsky is the fourth magistrate to come under the inquiry's charges. and the first to retain his position on the bench. Three other magistrates who chose to resign for various reasons when their names were brought before the inquiry, preceded him.
 The five justices agreed that Brodsky's record showed him to be an industrious. intelligent and sat isfactory magistrate. and that there was no satisfactory proof of wrong doing.
 Justice Bowling. however, main- tained that Brodskys real estate dealings and stock market specula- tions which lost him several thou sand dollars during his term on, the bench. constituted activity in husi- ness, which is prohibited by law.
