In the same way they take me
back to the days of defensive base
ball. They -only ask a>run or two as
rule, and then they're hard to
handle. This means high-class pitch
ing and fine fielding. They are fast
and aggressive on defense. They
actually turn defense into an Of
tense. Baseball has been ruled bv
pluggers for many years. The Car
olnals turned back the clock in the
games I saw them play"
Notre Dame Not the Same.
1t Is an unusual turn to see Notre
Dame moving toward the middle of
October without victory.
Before the season opened there
was general belief that South Bend
had one OF its finest teams. Many
of the unbeaten stars from last sea-
son were back. Good new men had
been added. But the dope took an
other crack on, the spine.
For one reason, Notre Dame hadn't
the line that many thought the
Irish had on hand.
For another reason, Wisconsin and
Georgia Tech were much stronger
than expected. Bill Aleyander's
Georgia Tech team was not placed
among the better teams in the South.
Today, it looks to be among the Ma
tion's best.
d, Any team that can beat Auburn
and Notre Dame on successive Sat-
urdays must have something. For
Auburn also is good. Auburn proved
that by beating a strong Tulane
team, one rated we'll up.
:. Tech has passing attack this
season that will bother most of them.
Missouri-Wisconsin Hot Game.
You can look for one of the best
games of the season next Saturday
when Missouri faces Wisconsin.
1t will be worth something to see
such backs as Harder and Steuber
meet. They are the best any team
will show this season.
Missouri has a better team this
fall than the Tigers sent to action
last fall And they were better than
good then.

Gard Slab Staff Great.
There isn't any question that the
Cardinals finished the season with
one of the best pitching stats in
baseball history. .l
This list includes Mort Cooper,
Ernie White, Pollet, Beazley and
Max Lanier, with good help on the
side.
I can't recall a team with so many
good starting pitchers.
White and Pollet were afflicted
with sore arms most of the season.
If they had been in shape all year
there is no telling how many games
the Cardinals might have won. They
might even have passed the old 1906
Cub mark of 116 wins. They had all
these men ready for the main series
especially White, who needed a
shutout to win. Only brilliant pitch
ing could have stopped Spud Chan
dler in that third game.
To allow one clean hit in eight
innings is a working job that de-
served something better than defeat.
Ailing Dickey a Star.
One of the outstanding stars in the
series was Bill Dickey. This is Bills
18th season with the Yankees. He
has been suffering from a heavy
cold, with touch of allergic nose
poisoning from rug carpets or any,
thing that has fuzz. Physically he
has been low. Yet he has caught
brilliantly and after the first three
games was hitting around AS.
Bill Dickey didn't need this series
to prove his place. He has caught
more than 30 Yankee World Series
games, and never has shown a flaw
in all that time.
But have an idea that the series
Of 1912 will be his finest all-arourfd
performance.

Georgetown

For residents of Delaware, the
expression Around Robin Hoods
Barn." meaning the long way
around, may soon be replaced by
Crossing st. Georges, since to
visit neighbor ON the other side of
the G. & D. Canal, it will be neces-
sary for pedestrians to climb up Sc
steps, walk half mile on. the con-
crete bridge and climb down 56
steps.
The steps, soon to be available for
use, have been a problem to the
contractors because of their many
turns. OF reinforced concrete, they
go around the main support piers at
each end of the bridge.
Each stairway consists of eight
flights with seven steps in fight,
total of Sc steps on each side. The
steps, ON each side, are separated
by 1880 feet of bridgeway.
It Is not expected the steps will
be completed at the time the bridge
is, by Feb. /, but they will be ready
shortly afterwards.

Appeal For Rooms
For Women
Defense Workers

The Defense Housing committee
of the Women's Division of the De-
tense Council has again been re-
quested to make personal appeal
and house to house canvass for room
for defense workers in and near
Elkton. We are proud to be called
upon for this service and feel that
every woman in the county who has
a vacant room or who can re-arrange
her family in order to make a room
available will answer our call for
rooms. It is the least we can do to
help win our war.
There is a particular need for
rooms for women. Already the won-
en- of America are taking their place
in defense industries throughout
the country. This is especially so
in Elkton where so to 80 per cent of
the defense workers are women.
Surely it is our duty as true Ameri-
cans to open our homes to women
who are on the production line. For
it is production that will win our
war.
We urge that prices Of rooms be
kept within the prevailing scale as
of October. At that time, prices for
rooms were more or less established
by the room survey as follows: Sin
gle rooms, 81 and SIS each person
per week; double rooms, So and
$3.50 each person per week; three
or more in room, So and $3.50 per
person per week, depending on de-
STABILITY of rooms and distance to
town and plants.
If you have room, or know OF
someone who has vacant room,
will you please telephone the Homes
Registration Office, Elkton $50 or
any of the Women's Defense Hous-
ing ommittee:-James F. Evans.

Senator Radcliffe, State Chair
man of the Maryland Committee
for the celebration for the Presi-
dents sixtieth birthday ball said
In the history of the nine success
sive annual campaigns to stamp out
this disease, it is necessary for a
conserted effort to marshall all re-
sources of State and National facili-
ties in the prevention of inroads
upon the health and safety of a ma
ton girding for about defense.
Although there were 800 cases
of infantile in the State of Mary
land last year we were spared the
disaster of an epidemic.
One dollar of prevention to-day
will save thousands of dollars in
cure next. summer because reports
show that an average case cost at
least 100000 per year in care and
treatment.
"The March of Dimes and the
"Mile o Dimes" and the Birthday
Ball, and many other fund raising
features of the campaign present an
opportunity to contribute to the sue
cess of this enterprise.
