20 YEARS AGO
MANAGER CLARK GRIFFITH
IN THE STAR

MANAGER CLARK GRIFFITH
A. Of the third-place Nationals
believes Boston, in second
place, has a fine chance Of over
coming Philadelphia, the pace-set-
ter, and winning the American
League pennant, although the Red
SoNs are seven games behind the
AS. The Nationals are 10 games
in back of the Sox. Boston de-
feated Philadelphia, 20. yesterday
and now has won IL of 20 games
from the AS this season.
Jack Bentley pitched his second
brilliant two-hit game within o
short period for the Nationals yes
terday, when he conquered the New
York Yankees, 10. And one of the
Yanks' bingles, a single by Mullen,
was lucky. The other was O triple
by Nunamaker. Not New Yorker
reached first base for five innings.
Jack Warhop for the Yanks also
pitched well.
Southwestern Duckpin League
rollers will open their season soon.
Walter A. Cornnell has been elected
president of the loop, with d. hewitt,
vice president; william Webb, treas
urer, and Charles Galleher, official
scorer and secretary. Members Of

Ted Meredith, Charles Reidpath
and Homer Baker are among the

Georgetown will miss Harry Co.'S
tello in foot ball this season. He
was without doubt the most capable
all-around player in this section
last year.

Pitt Schedule Toughest.

THE Pittsburgh team plays the
hardest schedule of any Eastern
representative In spite Of the
loss of three backs and five first-string
linemen, it will have a strong aggre-
cation. Pittsburgh has good reserves
from last year. Pitt teams are always
strong and this one is likely to surprise
by its strength.
Princeton again will be strong and
as the season advances may be as
formidable as it was last year. A win
ming spirit has been developed at
Princeton, the schedule is favorable
to its success and everything points to
Nassau again as one of the Eastern
leaders.
The Fordham eleven lost eight men
from the 1888 squad, but in spite OF
losses, there remains the nucleus OF q
great team. The line will be extremely
strong.
Columbia will again be a member of
the East's elite. The Lions have had
severe losses, but the reserves of last
year were of high caliber.
One of the biggest teams in the East
will be Holy Cross. 1t can put on the
field a veteran line from tackle to
tackle and with good backs from the
1888 squad, supplemented by some fine
men from last years freshman team,
Holy Cross gives promise Of being one
Of the East'S leaders.

CoIgate Needs Linemen,

THE main problem at Colgate Will
be the developing of first-class
line. With the exception Of one
end, the entire Colgate line of 1888 has
been lost.
The schedule is the most difficult
in recent years.
In spite of the fact that Cornell will
have less manpower than in recent
years, Coach Dobie is hopeful.
Rutgers teams in the last few years
have been making definite progress.
The 1884 outfit should be better than
that OF last year.
With better material than in recent
years, Penn State will give indication
of the fact that it is coming back to
its normal place in Eastern foot ball.
Led by Capt. Croft, the 230-pound
6-foot 6-inch tackle, Carnegie Tech is
looking forward to a good season.
DuqueSne, which had so successful
a season last year, still has the nu-
cleus of a great team.
Villanova has had considerable
losses, but the requirements seem rea-
sonably adequate.
An interesting sidelight on the
Harvard situation is the transfer of
the Yale line coach, Ed Walsh, to
Cambridge. Despite the loss of 20 out
of 80 letter men and a difficult sched-
ule, there is spirit Of optimism in
the Harvard camp.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
a NNAPOLIS, September 10.-Anx-
IA ious to to get more weight in,the
middle of the line, where the
Navy eleven sadly lacks it, the
coaches have transferred Ken
Schacht, captain-elect of the lacrosse
team, from the guard group to those
trying for the former position and are
giving him much attention.
Schacht weighs 180 pounds, which
is is more than Lou Robertshaw, the
stalwart lad who has been considered
first choice for the place and who is
making great fight to hold it, Last
year, Schacht strode ahead rapidly
both as foot ball and lacrosse player.
Playing out home on the ten, Schacht
was one of the leading scorers of his
team and was elected captain.
Toward the close of the foot ball
season he did a lot of playing at
guard and attracted favorable atten-
ton.
Ned Madley, 185-pound center Of
the Plebes last year, Is another can
didate for the position.

Rules Meetings Mean Little.

Rules Meetings Mean Little.
GONE of the Qualifications are moth
y ing more or less than the officials
announcing that they intend to
do, as an Interpretation of a rule,
what they have tacitly recognized for
years. For instance, if an end of the
kicking side falls on ball, it has been
determined that shall be foul, and
that If man of the other side was
holding, the two shall neutralize each
other.
The two meetings recently held for
the discussion Of rules, one at Dur
ham and the other at New York
brought out very little, other than
long discussion Of things that never
happen. At such meetings it is Gus
tomary for coaches to bring up all
kinds of possible technical violations,
some of which could not be expected
once in 10 seasons.
General opinion of coaches is that,
Notwithstanding possible changes in
strategy deep in an opposing teams
territory, brought about by the neces-
sity of opening the defense more in
that part of the field because of the
danger of longer passes. the game of
foot ball essentially will remain as it
has been for 10, these many years.
From the stands the game will be
the same, except for the scout, or
coach, or technical expert who
watches for things about which the
average foot ball follower does not
know.

w YITH the exception of open
M ing the defense within the
v v 15-yard line, or there
abouts, and thus making
ground easier to gain in that territory,
it does not seem that the changes ef-
fected in the rules last Winter will
make foot ball any different this Fall
from what it has been in recent years.
As far as the average spectator is
concerned, there should be little or no
difference in the game. Besides the
rules changes, except for some few
minor Qualifications, the old game is
pretty likely to be about as it always
has been. At least, this is the opinion
of coaches as expressed at big meetings

with Frankie Covelli tomor-

secutive victories.

youngsters are eager for work and
reckon a victory tomorrow night will
mean lucrative employment here.

Syracuse Has Veteran Team.

TAT SYRACUSE there is veteran
n outfit. The Orange lost only one
regular from the 1888 team.
Potentially 1t Is one Of the best teams
In the East.
The Army's great 1888 team has
been riddled by graduation and the
loss of sterling players from the plebe
aggregation. Eight men of last years
first team are gone. There are nine
letter men available. The Army
schedule favors gradual development.
The coming of new coach always
is the cause Of optimism. This, be-
heve, Is the situation at Dartmouth.
The big Green team has lost 18 letter
men. There are seven letter men re-
turning, with some promising fresh
men. This team will make slow
progress, but will give good account
of itself Earl Blaik and his new
coaching staff are well qualified.
There is a new situation at Yale.
The fact that several men on the
coaching staff are not graduates Of old
Eli will focus attention on the team.
The material is good, but the schedule
is one of the most difficult in recent
years.
There has been a change in the
coaching staff of the Navy. 1t is
headed by Lieut.. Hamilton, former
Navy player who has been successful
in coaching naval teams on the Pacific
Coast The Navy material for 1884 is
better than it has been in the last few
years.
Pop Warmers Temple team should
be better than the one he developed In
1888, the first year after his return
to the East.

and wide that the Rules Committee
had turned the game into a basket

However, right now it is not possible
to find a coach who is building his
offense along such lines, unless it be
Michigan or some school that follows
Michigan principles. So far as can be
learned, every coach is following the
general ideas embodied in attacks of
last season, but preparing to change
somewhat strategy inside the Is or 20

Another Tea Party Threatened.
THE rest, as the fellow said, is his
i tory.
You may argue that Rainbow
captured two out of three heats in
the final run, but every loyal Yankee
rooter will tell you that the Boston
boat showed herself, even then, to be
the better of the two.
The Yankee rooters feel very
strongly about the matter. If the
Americas cup ever comes near Bos-
ton now, they will throw it into the
harbor in emulation of their op-
pressed and illustrious ancestors.
Maybe the people of Boston will
swallow their chagrin. Maybe they
won't. 1t doesn't make much differ
ence, because their grief will be offset
by the Joy and happiness of the IT
millionaires. The collective joy of II
millionaires is something to see, any

BY ANDY KERR,


~ AMILTON, N. Y, September 10.
- I'm a section containing as
many major foot ball teams
as there are in the East, it is
q hazardous procedure in September
to select a team or group of teams
that may be at the head of the pack
when the snow flies in December.
However, my suggestion is the lead
ing teams in the East will be Pitts
burgh, Princeton, Fordham, Columbia
and Holy Cross. There is second
group containing teams that, as the
season develops, may show sufficient
strength to surpass those in the first
group. These teams are Syracuse,
Dartmouth, Army. Temple, Colgate

Secino, C. u, Highly Rated.

OOACH DUTCH BERGMAN of
Catholic University has a high
opinion of one of his backs who
did not play at all last year-Al
Secino. At the beginning of the 1888
practice sessions Secino broke bone
in his leg, but in Spring practice
came right back as if nothing had
happened. Bergman's opinion is that
Secino should be one of the best
ground-gaining backs c. U. has had
in long while. Secino is fast and
weighs perhaps 1876 pounds. He has
what few backs possess, ability not
only to dodge and run in a broken
field, but also real driving power.
TT is reported that Martin, 1885,
i pound halfback at the University
OF Virginia last Fall, may not play
this season. Martin suffered several
broken bones in an automobile acci-
dent last December and apparently
has not recovered sufficiently to take
chances on the gridiron If he does
not play, Virginia will miss an excep-
tionally good man, as he was a bril-
liant punter and a fine ball carrier.

as they should is that they do not
have Billy Smith, last years quarter
back. Last year with him in the line
up, v. M. I. was an exceptionally good
team; without him it was only fair
and just escaped being mediocre.
Smith was the spark plug that
made the engine go, and he is likely
to be missed a good deal more than
anybody at v. M. I. now expects, with
the exception of Coach Bill Raftery.
1t is big bet against anything at
all that Bill knows just how much
difference the absence of Smith will
make in his team. But that is one of
the things with which coaches have to
contend-having what to the public
seems excellent prospects, but know

valiant fight to save the franc from

incidentally, he is cruSading for a

without having to go through the
cumbersome formalities now neces-
