BADLY BEATEN
AT OWN GAME
Giants Shut Out 27-O as
Packers Win Fifth Title
and $7O4 Each
by STEVE SNYDER

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Milwaukee, Dec. 11-(UP)--The
elf-styled biggest little city" IN
professional football Green
Bay-once again held the world
championship today and the me-
thodical manner In which its proud
Packers overwhelmed the New York
Giants stamped the new champions
as one Of the greatest teams ever
assembled.
The Packers whipped New York
at its own fundamental game
Blocking, tackling, plunging and
kicking. They were keyed into a
perfect scoring machine that could
MT miss and when the final gun
called halt to the slaughter they
had compiled the most decisive VIC
tory in the seven year history OF
the National League playoffs, ~ to 0.
There were other records, too. It
was the first time any team had
been held scoreless In the playoffs.
1t was the richest gate, crossing
$83 ,5l0.35 from the 32,37o spectators
who packed into the pavilions at
State Fair Park. 1t was the fifth
championship for the Packers, two
more than any other club in the
league.
Green Bay used simple strategy
against the Giants. Instead OF at
tempting to pass them off their feet
early in the game, the Packers hit
the line. When the Giants moved In
to stem the flow Of driving backs,
Arnie Herber and Cecil Isbell
abruptly switched tactics and each
produced touchdown pass.
An intercepted pass, of which the
Packers executed six, fed to their
third touchdown.
Field goal kicking was New York's
chief threat all season long and It
was their only offensive weapon yes
terday. Three times In the first half,
Ward Cuff and Len Barnum tried
long range kicks that fell harmlessly
for touchbacks.
The Packers showed them how,
augmenting their three touchdowns
with 42-yard field goal by Ernie
Smith and one Of 20 yards by Tiny
Engebretsen.
A first period drive Of 46 yards,
ending in Herber's seven yard pass
to Milt Gantenbein straight over the
line Of scrimmage, shot the Packers
into the lead. Engebretsen's third
period field goal mdae 1t 10 to 0 and
two minutes later 1sbell flipped q
high wobbly pass to Joe Laws good
for 81 yardsr and a touchdown.
Herber's 81 yard pass to Harry
Jacunski led to Smiths successful
field goal attempt in the fourth
period and Bud Svendsen's 15-yard
return Of an intercepted pass start
ed brief scoring drive from New
York's Is. Eddie Jankowski scored
from the vineyard line.
Only once during the entire game
were the Giants on the move. They
hammered Green Bays reserves for
"a yards on one march and were
three yards short Of the goal line
as the game ended.
The victory was worth $703.e7 TO

desired, such as the building of q

The association overrode his pro-
tests, however, and adopted the
resolution asking for the boards s

Some of the first German soldiers

Some of the first German soldiers
taken prisoner on the western
front did not know their country
was at war with France. Col.
Stuart Roddie, British soldier and
diplomat, just back from the Mag
mot Line, told the English-Speak-
ing Union at the Willard Hotel
yesterday afternoon.
Col. Roddie. the first British Of
ficer to enter the famous French
line of fortresses after the war
started, questioned these prisoners
In their own language and thus
quoted one of them:
II had served % months and had
almost completed by compulsory
service when we got word that the
Fuehrer had decided to annex Po-
land and we would have to serve
a few weeks longer. A group of us
went to the West Wall, but we had
no idea there was war with France.
True, we would hear explosions now
and then, but we were told this was
blasting operations or else target
practice by the French"
Tossed Away Machine Gun.
One day, this prisoner said, pa
troll was sent out with loaded
machine gun. rifles and pistols.
Suddenly bullets spattered all
around them, and they tossed away
the machine gun and threw them
selves on the ground. But this SOL
dier still held his loaded pistol.
Then an unarmed French soldier
hurled himself on the ground near
by. The Frenchman advised: You
better throw that pistol away. 1t
might go off. You be my prisoner,
and I can get back to my unit
without any trouble"
The German complied. But he
didn't know there was war on
until he found himself in a barbed-
wire barricaded camp.
DO you think" Col. Roddie said
this soldier told him, that if we
had known we were at war with
France we would have thrown
away the machine gun or I would
have given up my pistol?"
This German and others like him,
the British officer added, didn't
know what the war was all about
but had a naive faith that what
ever happens the Fuehrer has a
good reason for it," They simply re-
fused to believe Hitler had nego-
tiated treaty with Stain, the
speaker said, and, when pressed to
believe this, said that if it were
true Hitler was leading the Com
munists into a trap.

that during the next few months the

At present, attention is centered

The investor holding Washington
securities is indeed fortunate. as this
city possesses greater stability than
any other city in the country. The
Government payroll and the spend
ing program of this administration
have given us greater prosperity
than is enjoyed elsewhere
Investors are becoming more con-

Our banking institutions are in
excellent condition with more than
ample funds with which to meet the
legitimate credit needs of our COM
munity, and interest rates are at
levels which should be attractive
to those seeking credit. In fact,
all of our banking institutions are
endeavoring by every means to find
sound outlets for the unusually
large amount of loanable funds
they have on hand.
The outlook for business in Wash
ington for the year 1910 is very en-
couraging. Retail trade should
reach even higher levels and ac-
tivity in other lines of business in
the coming year should equal, if
not show improvement over last
year.
In my opinion. the national trend
will continue upward during 1910.
National income for the year 1889

Capital Trade
Widens Gain

In the final report on department
store trade for 1899, from the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Richmond,
trade was still working higher and
higher in Washington.
For the week ended December %
sales in the Capital were 1872 per
cent above the corresponding week
last year and in the four-week
period ending on the same date
business was ~ per cent ahead of
the same weeks year ago.
Sales were down from the pre-
vious week this year, the report
said. The weekly trade gain for
the whole 5th district was IA per

Washington, and up 6 per cent in
the four weeks.
Baltimore made an excellent
