BY LEWIS ATCHISON.

Heaving an unfeigned sigh of relief
and putting thoughts of opening
games behind with mingled emo
tions, District college coaches rolled
up their shirtsleeves and went back
to work today, fully mindful that the
worst is yet to come-speaking of
the opposition.
This weeks games are against
mediocre teams which stand less
chance against the Capital elevens
than canary in cat fight, but
these contests have been booked for
the purpose of permitting coaches
one last chance to get their squads
into smooth running order before
plunging into that portion of the
schedule where mistakes are fatal
and leave ugly blotches on the
records.
Hack Hagerty, who fully appre-
ciates Elmer Laydens feelings re-
garding the efficacy of field goals,
will put his Georgetown eleven's
nose to the fundamental grindstone
this week in an effort to improve
blocking and tackling. Hagerty
plainly was dissatisfied with the
Hoyas' work in these departments.
The tackling, particularly, was
reminiscent of days Jack doesn't
care to recall, and something must
be done to remedy the situation.
Needless to say, something will be
done-plenty.
Lilo and KOwalski ENCOURAGING.
But the Hoyas' chief strategist
wasn't immersed completely in
gloom, for Augie Lilo, who kicked the
winning field goal against Temple,
played brilliantly at guard, and no
less distinguished was the work of
big Ed Kowalski at tackle. Hagerty
also waXed enthusiastic about a
couple of sophomores, pat" Pater-
noster, guard, and Art Lemke, rangy
end, who handled their relief assign
mentS in veteran style and stamped
themselves as definite contenders
for starting roles.
Maryland presented another typi-
cal Dobson eleven against Hampden-
Sydney, smart, aggressive and po-
tentially powerful, but also it felt the
bite of ill-fortune. Today the Terps
mourn the loss of Dick Shaffer,
sophomore end touted as the best
wingman to come up to the varsity
in the last decade.
Young Shaffer lies In the Univer-
sity Hospital, Baltimore, with frac-
tured jaw and separated shoulder
bone. Injured early in the first
period he tried to keep it a secret,
but officials on the bench realized
something was amiss when he mutfed
a pass in the waning minutes of the
quarter. He couldn't raise his arm,
and promptly was removed from the
battle.
Shaffer will be out for at least six
weeks, or virtually all season, and
his loss is a stunning blow to team
already in desperate straits for ma
terial.
Rookie Ulman Shows Class.
Offsetting this doleful news to
some extent was the work of Bernie
Ulman, rookie back, who sparkled
during his sojourn on the field. A

Leonard Seems Only One
Due Raise; Shifts for
Lewis, WusdeI| Loom
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Tenderly tucked with other relics
among the moth balls the hapless
1889 Nationals today reviewed the
season with mingled glee and gloom,
with only a scant handful of the
squad certain of sticking with the
club until the leaves turn green
again.
There are indications President
Clark Griffith shortly will launch
a concerted drive for requirements
through the medium of trading, for
the Mats still are crazy quilt out
fit, minus an acceptable first base
man, at least one outfielder and
more than slightly shaky in other
departments.
For Dutch Leonard, though, the
season was a stepping stone to
mild measure of fame. and doubt
less a salary which will run into
five figures. His feat of capturing
20 games while losing only 8 with
a sixth place team may have been
the leagues outstanding individual
performance, at least from pitch
ing angle.
Changes Up to Travis Trade.
Third Baseman Buddy Lewis, who
swatted neat .317 to lead the Nat
regulars, or at least those who played
a lot, enjoyed his most successful
year from a strict percentage stand
point and led the league with his is
triples and the club with his 10
home runs. But Buddy, it seems,
whacked in more runs in previous
seasons and his erratic early play
may squelch any ideas he is nursing
of obtaining raise.
Buddy isn't sure he'll be playing

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Those Detroit
Lions are making a smiling man out
of Coach Gloomy Gus Henderson
with their brilliant victory-pro-
ducing tactics in the National Pro
Football League.
Henderson, who moved in as De-
troit coach this season after Dutch
Clark went to Cleveland, has his ag-
gressive machine riding the crest
of the leagues Western Division,
the only undefeated and united
team in the entire circuit.
Rookie Pingel Again Stars.
Rookie Johnny Pingel, all-America
at Michigan State last fall and
looking better all the time, again
was the main cog in the Lions at
tack last night when they defeated
the Chicago Cardinals, II to 3, be-
fore 10000 at Soldier Field. Detroit
spotted the Cards three points on
Bill Smiths 20-yard field goal, then
went to work.
Pingel set up the first touch
down with an 18-yard pass to
Charles Hanneman, then Bill Shep-
herd cracked center for the score
and Hanneman added the point
from placement. Hanneman added
3 points with a 41-yard field goal
and then Pingel tossed a 17-yard
pass to Hanneman for the second
touchdown.
Rams Put on Big Rally.
Dutch Clark's Cleveland outfit
prevented Green Bay, last years
Western Division winner, from
keeping pace with the Lions. The

NEW YORK, Oct. with one
eye on the boxoffice and the other on
the mythical national championship,
the Nations leading football teams
launch an impressive intersectional
program this week which may be
of benefit both ways.
Already off to a good start with
such impressive results as Pitts

ton, Minnesota S $40 rout of Arizona,
Mississippi States 1910 triumph over
Arkansas, the 800 beating Missouri

1872 upset of Rice last Saturday,
the intersectional warfare spreads
even more widely
And where the teams don't repre-
sent different sections, there are
inter conference rivalries and titular
battles in the major conferences to
fill out the bill.
Panthers Prove Class.

shown they're among the best in
the East. West Virginia, despite a
44-0 win over West Virginia
Wesleyan, hardly figures to stop Pitt
this week.
Two other major Eastern powers
test their strength in intersectional
games. Holy Cross, which showed q
wealth of power in trimming Man
haitian, $50, faces Louisiana State,
14-7 victim of Mississippi. Fordham,
after trimming Waynesburg, BAT,
faces Alabama, 21-0 victor over little
Howard. Army, which had some
trouble stopping Furman, 1917, faces
easier opposition in Centre. while
Navy swings the other way, tackling
Virginia's good team after trimming
William and Mary, 31-6.
The leading all-Eastern pairing is
Carnegie Tech, which appears to
be one of the best Eastern teams,
against Temple, which dropped
80 decision to Georgetown Friday.
The "Ivy League" barely gets under
way with Columbia-Y Yale and Syra-
cuse- Cornell as its leading games.
Syracuse tuned up Friday with q
1910 win over Clarkson. Penn
Lafayette. Princeton Williams and
Harvard-Bates are other openers.

Commissioner Taylor, who has
estimated that the tourist ex-
penditure during the season will
approximate $690,0O0,0O0 at the
rate of $4,000 per day, based
his predictions on careful study
of the way tourists spend their
money in the state.
''Of the estimated $4,600,000
that Florida visitors will spend
each day they are here this win

cit is estimated that in addition
to the money they spend for food
and entertainment, they will
spend:
For lodging, 100000 a day;
for travel, $828,00O a day; for
miscellaneous purposes, $685. 900

He explained that these sums
are based on statistics from his

average division of the tourist
dollar is: 26se for amusement,

William w. Demeritt, of he Sew

Captain de la Tore arrived on

from Havana, delegated by the
Cuban Government to make the
presentation this morning, which
he did with the following words:
1T is for me a great honor to
bring in the name of the Red
Cross of Cuba, to Mr.. William w.

Department, information con-
corning Mr.. Demeritt's humani-
arian labor; information which
the Red Cross greatly appreciates
from our diplomatic representa-
tive, because it has been offered
the opportunity of rewarding q

The Red Cross of Cuba feels
greatly konored to present this
citizen as an example for his
meritable labor, an American

''In these times, when a con-
tinent is converting itself into
rivers of blood, where men de-
Stroy without mercy and the
hatred of races and ambitions of
the towns have made tragedies
of a hundred years ago live
again, where all human sentiment
of love between men has disap-
peared; how great has been the
labor of Mr.. Demeritt to think
about the poor Cuban fishermen
who come to these prodigal seas
of Florida to seek sustenance for
their children, they Aknow that
owing to the humanitarian senti-
ments fof this great American
