War Yellows yesterday eliminated Maryland Polo Club of Baltimore from the ‘tournament, defeating the visitors from the Old Line State, 10 to 5. One of the losers’ goals represented a handi- cap. ‘Yellows, exhibiting fine teamwork, showed better than. expected, it being thought that the Baltimore team would give them a closer battle. After the third chukker, when the Yellows rang up three goals to gain a commanding lead, the War Department riders always held the whip hand. It was in the second period that the Marylanders showed at their stoutest, coming through with two goals to gain the lead. Yellows' three-tally offensive in the next period, however, changed the complexion of the game. Maj. Woodward with five goals was the Yellows' ace on attack. Riggs played a clever game for the losers. War Yellows Position. Maj.

HORNSBY T0 BE CUB IF “MONEY TALKS” By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. October 17.—If money is any object, Rogers Hornsby will play with the Cubs next season, Willlam ‘Wrigley, principal owner of the Cubs, said today. “If it is money the Boston Nationals | want, we can give it to them, but the trouble is the amount may run in excess of $200,000,” Wrigley said. The hitch in any dealings to bring the Boston second baseman to Chicago, it was indicated by the club owner, most likely would come through the number and caliber of players the Bos- ton club would demand. Wrigley said Boston was asking for “everything pos- sible in the way of players.” “I am not going to be the judge of how far we will go in that direction,” he said. “The club will attend to the cash, but Joe McCarthy is the team manager and will have the final say as to what players are to go and what players are to stay. It would be foolish to wreck the present team merely to get one great hitter.” A. A. CROWDS SLUMP DESPITE A HOT RACE By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 17.—Despite the hectic American Association pennant race in which five teams remained in the thick of the fight until the closing weeks of the campalgn, the number of fans passing through the turnstiles was 136,000 less than in 1927. The official figures for:the 1928 season show an at- tendance of 1,547,009 as compared with 1,683,963 last year. The decrease in attendance, however, was not due to any lack of interest during July, August and September, ac- cording to President Thomas J. Hickey. “Th2 closing three months were the best in the history of the league,” said Mr. Hickey. “The decrease was due to extremely bad weather that cut into the early season attendance.” Although falling 50,000 short of last year's record gate, Milwaukee for the third successive year led the lesague in attendance with 315,000. The second place Minneapolis Millers ran second, while the champion, Indianapolis, ranked near the bottom of the league. i HEENEY TO START BACK TO U. S.

SIRACUSEELEVEN FACES TOUEH 08 Invades Nebraska Saturday in Effort to Avenge 1927 Defeat. BY HERBERT W. BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, October 17.—Syracuse sends her gridiron gallopers into the hostile territory of Lincoln, Nebr., this | week and hopes for the best. Ne- braska’s Cornhuskers confidently await. Syracuse remembers well a certain afternoon last Fall when Glenn Pres- ‘nell and his mates trampled Syracuse into decisive defeat, 21-0. There's no Presnell at Nebraska now, but Howell still is smashing away at opposing lines. He gave ample evidence that he is still to be reckoned with last week, scoring all four Cornhusker touchdowns against Montana State. Orange Team Strong. But Syracuse supporters have ample reason to feel that if Syracuse is beaten it will not be by any three- touchdown margin. Thus far, Syracuse has piled up 104 points while holding Hobart, William and Mary and Johns Hopkins to 6. Hobart incidentally, scored-the one touchdown against Syra- cuse in the first game of the season and stgl/racuse has come fast and far since then. ‘The Syracuse-Nebraska game seems to furnish Eastern fans with most of their intersectional interest this week, but there are three others that will not be neglected. West Virginia, fresh from her 9-6 victory over Pittsburgh, meets Wash- ington and Lee at Charleston, W. Va., to settle the argument that ended In a 6-6 tle last year. Colgate takes a train West to battle Michigan State at East Lansing, while .Duke is trying to give Navy its fourth straight defeat at An- napolis. Comparative scores would in- dicate that Navy is due to win at last. The Midshipmen were able to lose to | Boston College by only one touchdown while Duke did the same thing by three. Aside from these four games, the rest RLD’S SERIES ot i St it A ]sectlonll. The Army-Harvard game ay the Harvard Stadium is the headliner; but it has a strong supporting cast. ‘ Army Is Favored. | Although there are indications thag | Harvard has a stronger team this year than it has boasted in some time. there are few sculs hardy enough to believe | that Army’s great_array can be stopped | just at present. Yale may be able to {turn the trick a week from Saturday, some observers are convinced, but they feel that Cagle and Co. are “sure shots™ at the Harvard Stadium. Buy other experts ask pertinently whether anything is sure in foot ball. Yale will be at full strength for the Brown game and should win. Tuss McLaughry apparently has not yet suce ceeded in' matching his great Brownj squad of 1926. Columbia will take optimism withi it to Hanover, where Dartmouth. & foot ball giant, is to be encountered.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offers three great games, Penn State ' meeting Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, Washington and Jefferson engaging Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh, while Bucknell, conqueror of Penn State, tackles Lafayette. Pitisburgh, New York University, Princeton and Georgetown are to be pitted against some more of this so= called minor opposition.
