BY JOHN EW YORK, January 2—F N States, who appear to have tions ever since the world series In a letter just re yet been able to answer directly. Johnson has been doing his best to catch up with his mail, but finally has been compelled to take a rest to recuperate. A the letters almost as hard a task as it was to play his part in defeating the Giants. Johnson will not be permitted to leave the Washington club and pur- chase a franchise outside the Pacific Coast League, and all rumors to the contrary are based upon the desire of some one to acquire publicity as a possible partner of the Washington 1dol. Might Hurt Majors. Were Johnson to go Ieaguo east of the Mississippi he might not come directly into con- tact with the major league clubs as a rival attraction, but he would be dangerously near it, especially if he were in either the American Assc ciation or the International League. The territory of the American A sociation is very closely interwoven with that of the Western of both major leagues, and while the patronage of the American Associa- tion cities does not drift heavily into major league cities, there Is a marked dividing line on Sunday games in some sections because the excursions in the Middle West go to base cities like Cincinnati, Chicago, trolt, Cleveland and Pittsburgh Johnson almost surely will be back with Washington, pitching for more money than he did last year.

Judging by their fino showing against the Warwick, the Eastern Preps should offer the Epiphanys a real tussle.

Greb car- | marksmen EVEN IN GRID WINS NEW YORK, January 2.—The Gold- en Gate was opened and the “Four Horsemen” ontered, and, meantime, a peaceful Quaker was devoured by the Golden Bears. Thereby the Pacific Coast foot ball elevens gained an equal footing with the East, having lost seven contests and repulsed an equal number of Invasions in the past 10 years. Syracuse University went to the other side of the continent in 1915 and played three games, defeating the Aggles of Oregon, 28 to 0, and Occidental College, 35 to 0. \They could gain only a §-to-6 score against Montana. In 1816 Brown met Washington State at the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena and came back defeated, 14 to 0, the Coast's first victory of the decade. Pennsylvania met th same fate at the hands of Oregon in 1917. During the war year of 1918 the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- tion sent its team to Mare Island and won, 17 to 0. Harvard, only one of the East's “blg three” to journey to the Iar West, conquered Oregon in a bril- lant battle, 7 to 6, in 1920. Then, a vear later, the Middle West univer- sities became embroiled In this con- tinental strife, and California van- quished Ohlo_State, 28 to 0. That season California was, as it is today, an undefeated team, under the coach- ing of Andy Smith, a product of the University of Illinois. In 1922 Cali- fornia played a scoreless tie with Washington and Jefferson, West Vir- ginla conquered Gonzaga, 21 to 13, and Southern California outclassed Penn State, 14 to 3. In 1924 Navy fought a tie battle ‘with Washington, 14 to 14, and South- ern Californla overcame Spracuse, 16 to 0, and on the first day of 1925 Pennsyivania, unbeaten eleven of the East, went down before Califor- nia, 14 to 0, while Notre Dame raced through Stanford for a 27-to-10 vie- tory. The East has won five games and lost five in intersectional play; the Middle West has won two and lost two. KEEN SWIMMING RACES HELD BY Y. M. C. A.

Hornsby has spent all of his base ball life in St. Louis, but never with a | | team which could help to bring out |his best efforts. He started to play | third base, but the throw was not |adopted to a man of his physique, so he tried his hand at short, but he was not a shortstop.

Hornsby hatted better as the pitch- ing got In that respect he kept up with all the other ball play- | ers who had the benefit of the three years in base ball, in which the art of pitching degenerated into a gentle toss, about as effective as the toss of two old cats, but very easy on the arms of the ball players who did the tossing, and likely to keep them in base ball threc or four years longer, if they could get away with it. In 1924, Hornsby fielded better at second in sthe little time that he played there than he did in any other year except 1923. He plays about half way between second and first and is not much more certain on one side than on the other. Me throw: excellently, having always been pos- tional League vintage and others do not.

Hornsby always has been very anx- fous to “be with a championship team. He still is anxious. Whether he will ever get with a champlon- ship team depends upon the St. Louis ball club. Hornsby though't he might g0 with a championship team when the Giants offered a huge price for his services, but the time was not ripe for New York to get him. If he had gone to New York under the condi- tions that existed when the offer was made there would have been morec assertions, and plenty of them, that the Giants were out buying up an- other pennant. The Brooklyn base ball club made a bona-fide offer of $275,000 for the services of Hornsby and stood to have to fork over the-cash if St. Louis had accepted, but the offer was made with the season coming on and St. Louls, without much of anything to show except thie bevy of minor league talent picked up by Rickey, was afraid to acept the offer. If Hornsby had gone to Brooklyn it's a dollar to a farthing the Brooklyns would have won the pennant of 1924, because the team would have had the punch that it needed in the early part of the year and it would not have needed Milton Stock, who did not do so well after a good start. Hornsby has bat- ted .300 or more for eight years. Twice he has got over the .400 mark.

ASADENA, Calif.,, January 2.— Notre Dame's “four horse- men” rode ruthlessly over Stan- ford University's bulkier eleven yes- terday, and a 27-to-10 victory gave added weight to the South Bend, Ind., team’s claims of national foot ball honors. FEast outwitted West. Notre Dame always was where Stan- ford should have been but was not. By all the rules of foot ball mathe- matics Stanford should have won. Coach Glenn Warner's men gained 164 yards from scrimmage; Knute Rockne’'s swift South Benders gained 134. The Cardinals registered 17 first downs; Notre Dame, 7. Stanford com- pleted 12 of 17 attempted forward passes; Notre Dame, 3 of 7. Notre Dame netted only 48 yards with for- ward passe Stanford gained 146. Rockne's men were penalized four times for a total of 30 yards, while War ner's suffered but a single 16-yard penalty. But one mistake may wreck a ton of statistics, and there were several Stanford mistakes. Notre Dame tuok advantage of all of them. Rockne Starts Reserves. The Easterners opened modestly, starting with second-string men Stanford shoved that aggregation steadily astern, until Rockne whis- tled for his “horsemen.” They trot- ted on the fleld,with their first-string companions, but the first period net- ted a place kick for Stanford. In the second period Notre 1 e scored by bucking the ball over. Tay- den carried it, and it was Notre Dame's only touchdown due to driv- ing ability.

Huntsinger picked up the pigskin and ran to a touchdown. In the same period Stanford scored for the last time when Walker passed the ball over the line to Shipkey, after Nevers had bucked to Notre Dame’s 8-yard line. Stanford came close to another touchdown In the fourth period, but lost the ball on downs less than a foot from the goal. Makes 65-Yard Run. Then came another Cardinal error and again Layden made the most of it. He intercepted a pass and ga loped 65 yards for Notre Dame's final touchdown. Nevers' line bucking made him the star of the Cardinal offense. Layden's spectacular runs overshone any other individual performance on the Notre Dame side Harry Stuhldreher, the all-Ameri- can quarterback, was handicapped by a twisted ankle.

ERKELEY, Calif., January 2— The University of California foot ball team, undefeated five consecutive years, gained addi- tional honors yesterday when it de- feated the University of Pennsyl- vania eleven, rated as one of the best on the Atlantic Coast, by a score of 14 to 0. More than 50,000 persons saw Californians outclass, outrun and kick the Pennsylvanians. The first touchdown was scored within 7 minutes after the game started. The Quaker players inter- fered with Imlay, on a fair catch on the Pennsylvania 40-yard line. No one touched the ball, 5o Dixon picked it up and ran 26 yards to Penn's 14- yard line, where he was forced out of bounds. Three line plunges by John Young shoved over the touch- down and Carlson kicked the goal. The second and third periods were scoreless, with Pennsylvania digplay ing Its greatest strength in the third. The Californians were able to with- stand Pennsylvania's passing sttack in the fourth period, when they broke it up and left the Quakers wonder- ing. Taking the ball on downs after breaking up several Penn overhead attacks on the California 45-yard line, the Western team swung Into an offensive once more. The Californians on four through the center of the Quaker carried the ball to a touchdown. The last plunge of 10 vards was made through McGinley, the famous all- American tackle of the Quakers.

MEXICO CITY, January 2.— Tony Fuentes, idol of the Mexican fight fans —although there seems to be some doubt as to whether he is really a Mexican or a native of Arizona— gained a decision yesterday in the big bull ring here over Homer Smith in the fifth round of their scheduled 12-round route by means of a foul blow on the part of Smith. There was a crowd of 30,000 present to wit- ness the bout, and that popular sym- pathy was with Fuentes was evident. This fighter, whose meteoric risa has been remarkable and who was the hero. or villain—the _courts of law have not yvet decided which—in his fight with Fred Fulton at Culver City, got none the better of today's encounter. At times he acted like a raw recruit, with the entire absence of his supposedly deadly right, which has knocked out so many. The first round was a series of clinches, with Smith planting no less than six left jabs and Fuentes evi- dently seeking an opportunity to swing a decisive blow, as has been his custom. A number of his v ries have been gained in the first round. None of Smith's blows was heavy, and the round was about even, In the second round Fuentes tried an upper-cutting - stunt, but Smith's long left prevented this. There was not much between them in this round, either. The third round was sensational Fuentes drove Smith to the ropes and battered him at will, but apparently not knowing how to end the affair. y Rugged Smith stood it well, the gong saving him from a difficult situation. | In the fourth round.Smith made a| remarkable recovery and carried the fight to Fuentes. Both did excellent infighting and both also bled pro- fusely. The fifth round saw both men fight- ing hard, Smith i anything getting the better of it until his long left hit Fuentes too low and thus terminated what promised to be one of the best fights seen in Mexico, The local view is that Fuentes is much ovérrated and needs much training before meeting opponents of first rank or he will be broken, Evi- dently he has courage and also a good | right punch, but sadly lacks finish. Smith, who is a much older fighter, looked like a winner, although he was in a bad way in the third round. After the fight he said that owing to the high altitude he was at sea dur- ing part of the fight. Some of the spectators were dissatisfied with the fight, asserting that it was a fake, but a close-up view showed that both men were scrapping honestly. (Copyright, 1925.)

Kaplan's vicious left-handed attack, which sent down Lombardo, came a8 ation and caused the only knockout of the tournament. Kramer, a recognized hitter and an expert in the art of jabbing with the left hand, will face a flashy, furious gladiator. Thus far neither of Kaplan's oppo= nents has been able to keep him at @ distance. Partisans from the home cities of the combatants are expected at the ringside, and the Connecticut delega~ tion promises to bring a band. The State Athletic Commission has barred the band from the hall, declaring that it is to be a battle for the feathers welght title, not a “three-ring circus.

JIM BARNES TELLS: Cost Hutchison a Title comes nearer to being the same type as C; physically than any other big golfer ng, he is apt to feel keenly the strain ng Jock while he is waiting his turn He is he has not had the advertising that Jock is a very fine trick-shot artist, all off a watch or hitting a ball with a full swing and catching it with his hand as it ascends. When he appeared for the tourna- ment he was at the top of his form |and in the qualifying round played | superhuman golf, turning in a score of 67--68—135 for the 36 holes, six strokes better than the record This was on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were required to run off two other flights of would-be quali~ flers, and real competition did not get underway until Thursday. Those three days of walting did “Jock” a world of harm. Could he have plared his competitive rounds starting om Tuesday, I believe he would have {won the’title hands down. THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS H. DILG, President Izaak Walton League of America. T IS not all of warm sleeping to have covers. Of course, when you are illy nights i3 to pile on more thingsg a mattress that will see you through to think only of more blankets. Thus persons who are away from home for a spell in the woods are likely to forget about the warmth of the mattress, considering it only as something soft to lie en and when they get cold at night they simply put on more blankets—it worked at home, it should work here. An experienced camper, however, realizes that it {s the whole bed, nof only the covers, that keeps peopla warm at night. Since It Is more ime portant to have plenty of things une der you than it is to have them on top, the underblankets or mattress should be considered first. When you have seen that these are ample, and are protected against dampness, look to_covers. The principle in night covering. as in clothes, is to have spaces of dead air confined by non-conducting agen= cies Wool d4s non-conducting, so dead air spaces between wool blanke ets make good warmth. That is why several thin blankets.are better than one thick one. The ideal covering would be two blankets separated by half an inch of air. But, of coursa, you can't keep the blankets apart they touch each other in many places. So the mext best thing is to fill the space between the blankets with raw wool or feathers. These fillings serve simply to hold the blankets apart, That is why wool quilts, eider down robes and rabbit skin blankets are warmer than blankets. These last two are the bedding classics of the woods. Guaranteed Automobile Repairing and Overhauling A. A. A. Service Station NEVER Closed Always Available Sheridan Garage, Inc. 2516 Q Street N.W.
