YEW YORK, Nov. Sits a
M strange and inauspicious
| VI world that Charlie Brlckley.
4 jr., will enter about year
from now, but maybe Charlie can lick
the odds against him. Anyway, his
adventures will be something to
watch.
The kids old man, Charlie Brickley
the First, believes that his SON
known around the house as Chick
today is the foremost dropkicker on
this continent. The boy, though
only II years old. has no peer among
the college or professional klckers,
according to Charles Brickley the
First When ne moves up from high
school to Harvard, he will show them
what dropkicking meant in the days
Of his fathers greatness, and what
1t can mean again-if they'll let him.
And I certainly hope they will"
says Mr.. Brickley the elder, because
he's been practicing dropkicks since he
was old enough to pull on shoe. He
can find that crossbar. He can find it
from anywhere. 1 hope he'll get a
chance to show his stuff in college,
even with football what it is today,
and dropkicking is lost art"
A Lost Art.
THE college world that Chick
= Brickley will enter is cold world
for dropkickers. Here and there. at
great intervals and in far-off places,
you will see kicker going through
the ancient Understanding alone
behind the scrimmage line, taking the
pass from center knee-high, dropping
it to his toe with single deft motion,
bringing his stiff leg forward, and
letting 'em have it.
But the drop-kick. like the bison, is
nearly extinct, and the drop-kicker Is
lonely artist in world of passers
and place-kickers.
The last really great one IN this
part of the country was Paul Scul! of
Pennsylvania. and Scull. operating Ii

Place-kicking, a machine-like busi-
tlC6o, HOS SWCPb tltC 4oOtSa-A NthA1.
They say it makes for greater accu-
racy-though the drop-kick fanatic
will tell you that drop-kicking is to
place-kicking what homegrown corn
is to the stuff that comes in can
Quite few years ago, the g:and
old man of the Midway, Amos Alonzc
Stagg, began making time tests with
his kickers on the practice field al
Chicago. He clutched the stopwatcf
firmly until he satisfied himself that
the place-kick was the faster maneu-
yer by three-tenths or four-tenths
Of second.
And those split seconds count in
football" said Mr.. Stagg. so it..
the place-kick for me-"
That's what Charlie Brickley, jr.
is up against. His father is sure he
can beat the rap.

the other day of how Johnson's streak
of Sc scoreless innings was ended
He could have gone on and
on" Griff was saying. 'if Walter
had a different temperament.
1T was early in 1913" continued
the old gent, when Walter began to
string together these shutout games.
He was positively sensational He won
one. two. five games without allowing
a run, and couple OF those went into
extra innings. Finally he reached so
straight innings while Washington
was playing in the West.
Navin Wanted q Crowd.
WE WERE in st. Louis in the
middle of the week when / got
telegram from Frank Navin. who
was owner of the Tigers. 1t seems
Detroit was going to make play for
a big crowd on Sunday and Navin
wanted to make sure that johnson
would pitch and put his scoreless-
innings streak on the block.
"'Cobb and the gang are
being quoted in the papers as
how they are going to score on
Johnson Navin said. 1T looks
like a sellout.'
We'll. I wired back that johnson
would pitch. That day. which was q
Wednesday, I said to Walter. You're
going to pitch in Detroit Sunday and
you're going to work against the
Browns today Be sure St. Louis
doesn't score so We can get that big
gate in Detroit
Walter kind of grinned and the
game started. 1t was close for six
innings and neither team had scored
L0bbed Ball to Williams.
IF WASHINGTON had made only
one or two runs in the next inning
think everything would have been
all right But we scored six runs
And knowing Walter like I did. and
do. I walked from the coaching box
and warned him:
Now. listen. don't let them
score. Only four more innings
and we 90 into Detroit with so
scoreless innings.
well, Walter kind of grinned again
and I knew he wasn't hoped over it.
He never gave hoot for that record
and I'd hardly sat on the bench when
he tossed up fat one to guy named
Williams on the Browns.
Williams, left-hander, hit it to
that trick corner in St. Louis and got
a triple off it. Then he scored when
somebody hit short fly to Shanks
in left and Shanks, who was a great
thrower, made a bad heave to the
plate.
"Navin was burned up and did he
let me know it! And did let johnson
know 1 was burned up! If he had
put anything on that pitch to Viii
liams it would have been all right.
But he just lobbed it over"
Griff grinned, reminiscently.
Sounds funny now, doesn't it?
Il mean, burning up a pitcher be-
cause he let a team score after Sc
innings. Can you imagine my telling
one of my pitchers now to be sure
not to let the other side score until
next Sunday?"
