A NNAPOLIS, September 49,
~ Navy has decided to play Buzz

the last two seasons, in the
safety position this season, with Dick
Pratt, Washington lad, and Holey
Lee fighting 1t out for the regular

A third candidate Is Fay willsie,

plenty Of strength in the vacant half

Tommy King. Harold Lawson. Will

all had good gains to their credit,
while Archie Soucek, last years plebe
fullback, proved that Clark will have
a good substitute.

Of his mouth. "Guess he's eligible to
play with you guys"
Bridges truly was quick" as was
attested by his four-hit though losing
game, and Ostermueller did pull up
with o sore arm. So If the trade Is
convinced ball players know how to
watch ball games, pit this consensus
against the future:
The Giants viii whip the Tigers In
the series because they are steadier.
Detroit isn't as good . team as
Warrington of 1888.
Bridges has more stun than any
other Tiger pitcher, but Rowe Is the
better slabman because he is more
consistent.
Bridges either will be very good or
very bad in the series.
II the Tigers run into trouble It
may not be q mere slump: they may
crack wide open.
Charley Gehringer is the best play
er on the Detroit Club and will be In
the series.
The Red Sox will be more formid-
able In 1885 than the Tigers.
Mello Alamada, the brand-new Sox
, centerfielder, has the makin's of q
good ball player.
Next year Grove will be the Grove
Of yore.
The Tigers would have been better
of If they'd shortened the right field
fence, as per Cochrane's suggestion to
Frank Navin.
Elon IIogsett. the Indian relief
hurler, ought to be more effective
pitcher than he Is.
Detroit is lucky it had that four
game lead over the Yanks.
And If the washington club that
trained in Biloxi had been intact
throughout the season the race would
have been over now. r. e. s.

"Yeah-he is, and for q long time
it's been q question in my mind
whether the theory is SO hot! Master

for q coach who finds himself with
no real on-the-field lieutenant In his
squad to teach some one parrot FASH

But foot ball, ike most sports, Is o

"OAGa 6llAL SFAULOlNG, at the

year of his five-year plan with squad
Of letter men from his 1888 team. The
most serious losses are Joe Keeble,
fullback; Muller at tackle, and Capt.
Lee Coates, one of the coasts best
centers. To replace Keeble, Spauld-
ing has Ted Kay, 1872 pounds, and
Bob williams, 400 pounds. Key Is a

In the northern section, Washing

Of going through an undefeated sea-

should 60 through undefeated, with
the possible exception Of the Santa

In the Rocky Mountain Conference,

Of Mines. George Scott, formerly Of
