SPIRITED ST. JOHNS
TEAM OPENS FRIDAY
Green, but Apt Squad Will Face
Eastern High, According to
Coach Augusterfer.

IF ENTHUSIASM and reserve
strength are to be the deciding
factors, st. Johns prepmen should
begin their most successful grid sea-
son in several years, when they stack
up against the Eastern High Schools
eleven next Friday.
With only four of last years regulars
back and two of them on the injured
list, Coach Gene Augusterfer boasts
of his charges, They're green. but full
of fight and quick to learn" From
what he has been able to judge after
three weeks Of diligent drilling. Angus
terrier expects to build most Of his
plays around his promising halfpack,
Joe Gallagher. who was recently trans
ferred from the quarterback position.
The change was made in order that
Charley Batchelder, confirmed field
general, might employ his blocking
ability to help Joe in his ground-gain-
ing activities. Gallagher knows how
to carry the ball, is good kicker
and has a dead eye when it comes
to tossing the oval.
lie Roy Rinaldi, originally a IT'S
pound guard, has been switched to
the fullback post and will act as chief
line plunger. Joe Daily will be the
other starting halfback.
Frank Barrett, veteran center, heads
the list of dependable linemen, with
Norbert Eakle and Leo Holland doing
the guarding. Hewitt and Munhall as
tackles and Joe Neuland and Jim
Giebel working from the hanks.
Others that probably will be called
upon to share the burden of tough
seven-game schedule are Albert Burch.
guard Paul Beard. a tackle, and
Francis Battisti. Frank Cady and Bill
O'Connor, halfbacks.

Washington Feather Will Fight
as Lightweight Following
Bout With London.

TREATED rather impolitely In
featherweight ranks. Lou Gevin-
son, local southpaw fighter. will shove
up notch into sitter competition
and enter the lightweight division fol-
lowing his 10-round bout with Danny
London, New York 126-pounder, at
Griffith Stadium October 10.
Gevinson weighed 1912 pounds for
his recent kayo conquest of Kid Co
velli and generally has experienced
difficulty in trimming down to the
featherweight limit of 1875 pounds.
His followers now point out he was
weakened by being forced to scale 1875
pounds for joey Archibald, who
stopped him, but LOUIS manager, Matt
Twomey, said prior to the bout that
GevinSon was in fine shape and
could make the weight without harm
The announcement hardly comes
az a surprise to local ringworms, who
have anticipated the move since Lou
weighed in at more than 100 pounds
against joey Temes at Turner's Arena
last Winter.

Archery Second to Soft Ball.

of being called "thithy" will be in

velopes muscle. Not the bulging kind,
but those that tend toward poise and

PLAN TRIPS IN 1888
Strengthened Team OF 10
Arranges Philadelphia
Home-Home Match.

TN THE belief that they now are
ready with q strong team to
meet a group from any city In
L the land, the Women's District
Golf Association is making plans
for team match with Philadelphia
women next Spring. Their disastrous
series OF contests with the divot-
FINGERS Of the Quaker city five years
ago forgotten, the fair golfers OF the
Capital now hold they can put such
strong team In the field they will
have an even chance to lick the best
feminine gofers that Philadelphia
can produce.
Ten women will constitute the
Washington team in the series sched-
uled for 1888 with Philadelphia, a
home and home series that probably
will be played at Chevy Chase and
the Philadelphia Country Club. Team
members have not yet been named
but It's sure guess that such good
golfers as Helen Dettweiler, Betty
Meckley, Marion Brown, Ellen Kin
caid. Mrs. Bishop Hill, Mrs. L. G.
Pray, Mrs. c. S. Stern, Mrs. w. r.
Stokes and Elizabeth Houghton are
good enough to put up strong argu-
ment against team that probably
will be headed by Mrs. Glenna Collett
Ware, six times national champion.
Caiiber Here Now Higher.
THEY couldn't win five years ago,
but they might win next year.
Few women who played in the match
will forget the shellacking the Phil
adelphia team administered to the
Capital gals at Chevy Chase Manor
half a decade back. The visitors won
in such fashion that there wasn't any
doubt OF their supremacy.
But there has been a decided uplift
in the general average of women's
golf around Washington since that
time. There are more good golfers
hereabout and more good scoring is
being achieved than at any time in
the comparatively short history of or
ganized links warfare among the
skirted players Of the Capital They'll
have good chance to win from any
team of women anywhere.
Foremost of the women from the
Philadelphia area are Mrs. Ware, Mrs.
Dorothy Campbell Hurd, Miss Elsie
Garthwaite, Miss Peggy McCloskey,
Miss Helen Sigel and Mrs. J. M.
Jaycox
Where team matches have been
relatively few this year the women
golfers Of the city plan more extern
sive invasions of foreign territory next
year. The upward squirt of women's
golf around Washington is respon-
sible for their optimistic view that
they can hold their own in any
company.

Washington Fairgrounds Lead.

A THOUGH playground facilities

from adequate. Those in charge are
clamoring continuously for increased
appropriations to provide for the
more obvious deficiencies.
In proportion to population, Wash
ington equals any and is superior to
most other large cities in so far as its
playground program is concerned. In
fact, several large cities have pat
termed their recreational set-ups after
the local system. But from the stand
point of facilities. the Nations Capt.
tai is sadly lacking.
Washingtons sliding boards, sand
piles, etc, cannot compare, for ex-
ample, with those of such cities as

is said that in Milwaukee there are
several fully equipped Fairgrounds
lying idle in the suburban area.
