BY DENMAN THOMPSO} > ITH only two and one-half games separating them, the Nationals and Browns today hook up in another of their constantly re- curring “battles for third place.” With the current set consist- W ing of only a couple of tilts, the Fohlmen cannot be ousted from the posi- k tion they now occupy before leaying here tomorrow evening, but should the locals continue a* the gait they have traveled in their last two games the margin separating them from the visitors can be so reduced as to make possible an improvement in position before the end of the week. The Browns never are any part of a soft assignment for the Griff- men, and the considerable advantage of the season to date held over them by ler & Co. would indicate that McBride's men are not war- ranted in expecting much in the way of success in the abbreviated series in immediate prospect. They probably will have the benefit of the serv- ices of their most accomplished boxman—George Mogridge—in the opener this afternoon. but the expectation that Urban Shocker will op- pose him means the lanky southpaw will have a_man's size job on his 3 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOi‘I, D5 TUESDAY, SEPTE MBER 13, 1991, Long Belt, Short Purse, Under German Tax Plan Business men as well as ath- leten have recognized for a long time the indirect cost of mot keeping physically fit, but the expanded walst line in likely to be a direct charge upon citi- sens of the German repablic.

Many eastern foot ball critics seem to be overlooking Michigan in their prognostications of this season’s play, but deep-dyed plans for revenge are occupying the attention of “Hurry- Up” Yost and his charges, and the veteran coach is planning a campaign which will wipe out the memory of last season's defeats by Ohio -State, Illinois and Minnesota. From the first day of the season Yost is go- ing to live up to his nickname. There are other teams that suf- who plan a 1921 comeback. Colgate 18 going after its old rivals, Syracuse, Brown and Cornell, with blood in its eye. Dobie, the Cornell coach, gets red behind the ears when he thinks for a victory over California. This zeason is expected to deter- mine the debated value of the Heis- man_shift. season when the Penn team showed an uncanny ability to gain ground with it, but it was not to be expected that it would be mastered by green players the first year. A team that would take a lot of beating could be turned out from the candidates to report for the first week’'s work of the Yale squad. With the exception of Aldrich and O'Hern, the left-overs from last year are' like- 1y to have little over others of the fifty candidates. the base ball world, as to wh the outcome of the first nine played by Pittsburgh and New York. icago. That gave them three vic i centage for that.was .322—a pitiful | hamdle 630 earlier in the season w Monday they split even with Boston, In the same period the Giants won ! four games from Brooklyn and lost one to them, and won one from Bos- ton and lost three. That gave them a percentage of .556, not .championship base ball by any means, but look at the difference between that and what Pittsburgh has done. Bucs Flunk Horribly. The Buccaneers flunked horribly to the western teams, against which they had been very strong all of the sea- son. It was bad enough fo lose to St. i Louls, but might have been accepted with good grace in view of the fact that St. Louis has outplaved every- thing in the National League recent- i1y, but to break even with Cincinnati and Chicago, both of which were teams that Pittsburgh had beaten, and should beat if the chamuionship pennant was to be flung to the Pitts- burgh winds, was mediocre base ball. The foozle of Brooklyn to the Giants was quite as unexpected as the success of the Bostons over New | York. The latter had been pie for the i Giants most of the year, while Brook- 11yn had been a hard nut to crack, and yet when the almost final test of the Season came the Giants ran away | from their over-river rivals by hit- ting their pitchers hard and timely, { while Brooklyn played dumb base ball. ‘Tnus it will be noted that’ Pitts- burgh has been losing to weakness and New York has been winning from | strength. Draw your own conclusion | as to what that means in a champion- ship race. If continued it-can have but one conclusion. ¢ Pirates Weaker With Stick. There is yet another reason Why Pittsburgh s not cracking out the runs that tiie Giants are making. It lies In the batting. Young, with .338; Frisch, .335; Meusel, .329; Bancroft, .320; Burns, 300, and Kelly, .300, are in the game every day, with a com- bined batting average of 1320. The Pirates haven't six men who are in every day and hitting .300 or above. Tneir best six are Cutshaw, .349, who is not playing regularly; Robertson, .330, who has not played regularly; Sigbee, .322; Carey, .307; Maranville, .302, and Tierney, who has not played daily, .300. That is a combined average —of .318, and it would drop three or four points be- low that if Cutshaw_were taken out and a hitter below .300 were substi- tuted for him.

'WENTY-FOUR men are sche duled to begin foot ball practice at Catholic University tomorrow, under the direction of Coach Phil Robb, former Penn State halfback. At least, letters have been sent to that many players telling them to report for their first work- out at 3:30 o’clock, and it is presumed that all will be on hand; the first terday. ear’s center—to report came in yes- Some of the members of the incoming class have made good records ton scholastic gridirons, according to those back of athletics at C. U., and seven or eight of them are expected to report for with the old men. Coach Robb has little to say about the kind of team he hopes to turn out, and Director of Athletics Charley Moran is just about as talkative as a clam. Both men believe they are go- ing to whip together a very creditable combination, but apparently think that the best thing to do about it is to keep still and deliver the goods. Most prominent of the members of the 1920 squad due to report for prac- tice tomorrow are Eberts, Keeler, Voor, Leghorn, May, Brennan, Cor- win, Lynch, De Nault, Currin, Taylor, Mahoney, Fasce, Freney. All are ex- perienced players, and, wit. Emery, Yeager, McKeon, Kerrigan, McNaney, Connell and Cullinan, the 'best of the new men, should form a good nucleus around which to mold one of the best teams C. U. has ever had. Morrison Clark, right tackle at the University of Maryland \in 1920, was out for practice vesterday for the first time. Despite the fact that the other men had several days' advantage of him in training, he went right into the work with them and seemed not a bit the worse for wear when it was over. Al Conley, who used to play full- back and guard at Boston College, has reported for practice with the George Washington squad. The big_fellow seems to have had considerable ex- perience, and certainly has avoirdu- pois sufficient to make him a real foot ball player. John Loehler, one of the best men the Hatchetites had a year ago, also was out at practice vester- day for the first time. Loehier ap- pdars just as big and capable as he did in 1920, i not more so. Yesterday Coach Morse lined his men up for a brief signal practice; the line seemed very heavy and the backfleld light and fast. Morse hopes to have his men in shape to scrim- mage by the last of this week. The University of Delaware squad is working much harder than ejsher George Washington or Maryland. The team from the Blue Hen state Is com- pelled to rush matters, as it must get in shape to face the University of Pennsylvania a week from next Saturday. Five new men reported to Coach Derby, and the Blue and Gold now has a rather large and husky aggregation in uniform. Delaware probably will be ready to begin scrimmaging by day after tomorrow.
