When the World War came
along, Admiral Sims was
placed in command of cur
battleships abroad. The Allies
gave him a suitcase full Of
medals and decorations, but
for some reason he rejected the
Distinguished Service Medal of
his own country.
Now at rs, he lives happily
and speaks out vigorously in
his retirement at Newport, R. I.
Many of his sharp remarks
have made the first pages.
Here's his comment on inter
national politics:
mo nation, as a nation, Is
respectable. They're all trying
to get what they want. If they
can get it by power or threat
of power, they will. This in
cludeS the United States"
This man who commanded
the most powerful fleet of bat
tleships we ever sent into war,
had this to say about battle
ships: In a war, the best
thing to do with our battle
ships would be to sink them
as far as possible up the Mis-
Sissippi River, out of harms
way"
The airplane will be the
great naval weapon of the
future Admiral Sims be-
lieves, putting it this way:
"The airplane carrier is the
battleship of the future, but
the Naval Board doesn't know
it,"

him.
The broad-minded modern
man has accepted every out
ward insignia of woman'S
emancipation her pajamas,
trousers, lip-rouge, athletic
prowess and economic equality.
Theoretically he has even &C
cepted her claim to the right
to do the counting and propos-
ing. But he CANNOT forgive
a woman for loving him too
soon, too much-and especially
too LONG!
The only thing that bores
and sickens a man more than
the love that is proffered him
before he has asked for it is
the persistent affection that
clings to him like a sticking
plaster after he has wearied OF
it. Nothing so suffocates a man
as for a woman to give him
"ALL her love-" when he only
wanted a little of her time and
company. Nothing so fright

neglecting her-when he only
wanted to be forgotten!
No-man is not a monster.
He is just a MAN, with the

inclinations that we're born in

biology.
If a woman could only &C.

dependable that Coach Arthur
Dutch" Bergman really has only
ten-elevenths of a job to do at
C. U.
Between the two of u.s." says
Bergman, 81 never bother about
the center position. You see,
we have Eddie, and Eddie has
us. After Eddie leaves us, next
June, I'll just have one more
worry. Right now, however,
we have Eddie and Eddie has
us, so we'll forget about the
center position"
C. us squad has the same at
titude toward Eddie White. No
one worries about the center po.
sition, except Eddie himself.
Main Cog of Machine
Eddie, an excellent student,
who may graduate with honors
in engineering next June, is the
main cog in the machine of the
Flying Cardinals. He is inclined
to stubbiness, for he is only about
feet 81a inches tall, yet weighs
180 pounds. Throughout his
career as varsity player he has
never made bad pass. AS a
yearling he failed to uncork a bad
one. He is one of footballs most
dependable ball feeders.
He is quiet and unassuming.
Soft-spoken during those rare in
tervals when he speaks to any
length, Eddie spends most of his
time learning. He goes unnoticed,
but he is always there when
needed. Dependable.
On defense, Eddie does a neat
job of it. He's a ball-hawk, re-
sembling zuZu Stewart, of G. w.,
in this respect. A careful check of
c. US work on defense will re.
veal that Eddie White is at the
point of attack before any other
Cardinal player.
Intelligent Player
Eddie is an intelligent football
player. He is a great team player.
His mental alertness has saved c.
U. many trying moments on the
gridiron these past two years, and
will this year, too.
A few years back, Minnesota
had a football player very much
on the order of Eddie White. His
name is George McKinnon. Mac
was rangier than Eddie, and
heavier, but he played then very
much as Eddie does now. DOC"
Spears, then coaching the Goph-
erS. would say of McKinnon:
II don't worry about Mac. He
doesn't say much, but he plays
a IS per cent game every time
We have a football match"
Eddie White plays a 95 per cent
game every time C. U. has a foot
ball match.
Most grid players have a tough
time gaining the passing percent
age of so.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20 0NSJ.
Out of the minors and into a

opportunity to share the juicy
world series financial melon. all
within the period of a few days.
This today appeared to be the
lucky lot of Charley Dresser,
third baseman of the H!ew York

champions, Dresser, celebrating
his thirty-fifth birthday today,
eXclaims:
'It sure seems too good to

A technicality still remains be-

at third against the Senators, the
Giants probable series opponents.
His name was not sent in to
Judge Lands on the list of those
eligible for series play.
Dresser was acquired by the
Giants from the Nashville club,
of the Southern League. which
he was managing when the

Johnny Vergez, was stricken with
appendicitis.

ALEX, ELEVEN |

Central High School eleven was
neither impressive or unimpres-
sive yesterday when it trimmed
Alexandria High IL to 7 in the
first local football game of the
season.
Central scored in the first quar-
ter when O'Brien, visitors right
halfback. fumbled the oval while
running left end and Fishbein re-
covered on the aliens 15-yard line.
King took it over on three at
tempts.
The Mt. Pleasant school added
six more points in the second pc
riod when Jennier, Alexandria's
left half, butter-fingered the ball
on his own 25-yard mark. King
recovered for the Hill-dWellers and
dashed around right end for a
score.
Alexandria braced in the second
half and held Central Scoreless
while finding time to score seven
points.
With less than three minutes
to go O'Brien threw a pass which
Price, Central sub, attempted to
knock down but instead batted
it into the waiting arms of Chill
cote for who it was originally in
tended. Chilcotte skirted SIS yards
to a touchdown. Captain Men
delson added the extra with a
placement kick.

You probably say to yourself,
what does that fellow know about
baseball. He knows plenty. Swan
held down the hot corner for the
Cleveland Nationals of the "old"
National League from 1898 to
1900. retiring for marriage and
business.
He holds a unique record for
those days or probably any day.
In 1899 against the New York
Giants, Ambrose made four hits to
keep his team in the running and
then proceeded to lose the game
by making four errors.
Started at 10
Swan started his baseball career
at the tender age of 10. After
playing around the local sandlotS
until he reached 16, he signed
with Dick Holmead'S Columbia A.
c., one of the finest semipro mines
in this vicinity during that era.

Old Fire Is There

He likes competition. He
likes the fire and animation
that go with fast play. Given
a few breaks, he may be ex-
pected to be heard from and.
if so, there will yet be many a
fan to hail the ascension to
achievement in the American
League of a guy who went
through the National loop like
beer through a Spigot.
And while on the subject of
baseball managers. I've got a
bit of gossip to peddle to you
today. Its veracity can only be
borne out by time, but a man
high in National League coun-
ellis tells us that John Nc
Graw is coming back into base
ball and, like Hornsby, into the
junior circuit.
am going to watch this
run1or pretty closely this win
ter and will be as interested
as anyone to learn how much
fact there is behind the word
which comes this way.
The Chicago White Sox
berth, now held by Lou Fon-
SEGA, is supposed to be the
spot offered McGraw and if
that should eventuate, it will
be a merry sight to watch a
McGraw team tangle With a
Hornsby team-although up to
the time of their differences
on the Giants, they VIC e not
the worst friends in the world
if admiration of one for the
other as a smart baseball man
may be taken as a criterion.

city if they could only get their
players out for practice.
The Centennials won the 150-

have called an important meet
ing tomorrow night at 8 O'Clock

Griffmen Need Two
Victories to
Cinch Flag

The Griffmen require two
more victories to tuck the
American League championship
under their belts.
Should the Griffs defeat st.
Louis today and the Yankees
bow to Cleveland, the pennant
race will be over. In case both
the Yanks and Griffs win to-
day, then the local team must
triumph tomorrow to erase all
doubt as to their being cham
pions.
However, should the Yanks
win today and the Griffs lose.
then the Griffs will still need
two victories in their seven re-
naming games while the Yanks
would have to sweep all their
remaining eight contests. In
Guiding today's games, the
Griffs have eight games to play
and the Yanks nine.

The New Deal Again

Instead of the ball players of
the st. Louis Browns labor
ing for a hard task master,
they find that a changed front
has come over Hornsby from
the reputation he carried in
the National League and that
Rogers is working WITH them,
rather than they FOR him.
That is a nice relationship
between leader and followers.
Our grandfathers were brought
up on the boss" and gang"
system but a couple of genera
tions have brought about new
correlation between those who
toll and those who direct.
AS in everything else. in
baseball it is the helping hand,
the pat on the back, the en-
couragement from above that
make for accomplishment and
if Rogers Hornsby has mas
tered this theory, he's got
everything else to recommend
him as a successful baseball
manager.

plenty of money to back him
up, Hornsby is secretly planning
on a club to stop the far

posed to be nursing pennant
aspirations.
Hornsby will find, as he
learns more about the Ameri-
can League, that it will vel
come a man of his color and
natural baseball abilities and
background. He will learn too
that it will require a smarter
brand of baseball to succeed
in the younger loop than it did
in the National League, but that
will just be ozone in his nostrils.

Hornsby Is Diagnosing

Hornsby is only studying the
Browns this year. Like Walter
johnson in Cleveland, Rogers
got hold of the Brownies too
late to really expect to snap
them out of their lethargy this
year. Eventually he may have
to do a lot of revamping in
order to get them up into the
stratosphere of baseball, but
you can rest assured no Hornsby-
managed ball club is going to
1inger around the cellar very
long after he has had a chance
to imbue it with the real

sixth place club, the critics said
we would be, to become the first
place Giants that we are now."
Terry. whose vocal abilities so
impressed a theatrical manager
recently that he was offered a
vaudeville contract, was in a sing
ing mood today for he is the
manager of the new National
League champions of 1888.
Harmony Main Factor
Asked to what one factor above
all others he attributed the sue.
cess of his amazing New York
Giants, Terry answered with little
hesitation:
"HarmOny-team spirit"
"The team is like one big
happy family" Terry continued.
"My pitchers never complain
when I take them out of the
game. / wouldn't have a man
on my club unless he did ex-
actly what 1 told him to do.
I've never had any trouble
with my men off the field"
Terry also mentioned the re-
markable pitching and air. tight
defenS which has enabled mis-
Giants to win many battles where
there was dearth of Giants
base hits.
Praises MancusO
The player r-manager did not
have to mention specifically the
brilliant pitching of his ace Hub
bel, because that has been speak
ing for itself all season.
81 don't like to give one player
more credit than another"
Terry said, "But do want to
say a word for Gus MancusO.
He's a great catcher and give
him a lot of credit for the way
he has handled our pitchers"
Terry revealed that all of the
Giants regulars including one Bill
Terry, first baseman. will be given
a rest now that the flag has been
clinched.

To RETIRE
AFTER 'GRAW
HANDICAP

C. V. Whitney's Equipoise,
handicap king of the American
turf the last two, seasons and one
of the greatest thoroughbreds
this country has ever produced,
is being pointed for the Havre
de Grace Cup Handicap of a mile
and a furlong on September 30.
Win or lose, this will be the last
public appearance of the big
hearted son of Pennant-Swing
ing. ..>
If Equipoise is not at his best
on the day of the running of the
HaVre de Grace Cup Handicap,
ne will not start. In which case
ne already will have wound up
his brilliant racing career fourth
IN the list of the worlds greatest
money winners.
It is believed by his trainer.
Tom Healey, that this sterling
horse which already this year has
won seven of his eight stakes,
Will be as fit on that occasion as
1t Is possible to make him.
Redeem Defeat
c. V. Whitney is anxious to
afford EquipoiSe an opportunity
OF redeeming his defeat in the
recent Jockey Club Gold Cup of
two miles in which he finished a
badly beaten third behind Wheat
ley Stables Dark Secret and A.
c. SchWartz's Gusto.
Furthermore, Mr.. Whitney real
lied that victory will carry such
winning reward as would raise
Equipoise to second place above
Phar Lap and Gallant Fox, with
only Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Sun
Beau ahead of him in the ranks
of the worlds leading money
winners of all time. Sun Beau
earned $376.744; the ill-fated
Phar Lap $332,250 and Gallant
Fox $328,165.
Would Make Him Second
Equipoise laready has won $780,
$40 and a victory in the Havre de
Grace Cup Handicap easily would
give him second place. His win
ming end of this stake last year
was $21,25O.
In the Havre de Grace Cup
Handicap, although he again will
meet Dark Secret, which con-
quered him in the Jockey Club
Gold Cup, Equipoise will be
racing at a distance that suits
him much better-a distance at
which he has been invincible re-
gardless of the weight he has
been asked to carry. He cooled
out perfectly after the Jockey
Club Gold Cup race, and has
been galloping as well as ever
since. But Equipoise is not a
sound horse. He has not been a
sound horse since early in his
three-year-old campaign.
Wrong in 81 Derby
It will be remembered that he
went wrong the morning of the
1881 Kentucky Derby as the re-
suit of a blind quarter crack.
Much of his hoof had to be cut
away to remedy this defect. 1t
is for this reason that Equipoise
in no case will be submitted to
the least show of abuse preparing
for his last race.
EquipoiSe, if fit and ready, will
make his farewell in the Havre
de Grace Handicap. He then will
be shipped to C. V. Whitney's
Kentucky farm, where next year
he will go to a stud made famous
at the Brookdale Farm near Red
Banks, N. j.
Dark Secret, in the mean time,
will prepare for his prospective
engagement against Equipoise by
running in the Queens County
Jockey Club Handicap at Aque-
duct Saturday. This mile trial
should sharpen the speed of
horse that ran so successfully in
the long route of the Jockey Club
Gold Cup. even though the son
of Flying Ebony will be top
