SANDLOT MOGULS WILL
ARRANGE NEW SCHEDULE
By BRYAN MORSE.
The District Baseball Association finds itself up against a difficult
situation in the present baseball championship series. With postpone
ments likely and one tie already on the books and another in prospect,
players and fans are united in asking when the series will end.
So complex is the situation with the various factors of dates, loca
tions of places to play games and possibilities of teams being unable to
participate that President Robert E. Doyle has set tomorrow night as the
time for meeting at Spalding's to unravel the situation.
In section 1 the Quantico Marines
and War Risk teams are tied for the
leadership. It will be necessary to
plar off a same before the winner
can be selected to enter the post
season series of three tames.
Navy Yard is leading- section 2, but
has a tie game to plar off with Clar
endon before knowing Just where it
will stand. The Naval Operations
players hare a game with Navy Yard
today which has been called off on
account of wet grounds.
The Qnantlco Marines are having
difficulty in making the running up
to the city, as the team has already
gone through a season comprising
nearly sixty games. Players on the
Marines are expecting to get u chance
at the Huns overseas, and ire anx
ious to quit baseball for a more seri
ous diversion.
Another factor entering the situa
tion Is the Clarendon-Cardinal battle
scheduled for American League Park
on Sunday. Clarendon is not expect
ing to play the Virginia men on ac
count of having lost so many players.
The park was obtained by the Vir
ginia men for the game and Claren
don cannot well give up the attrac
tion. Games are listed for the park dur
ing the remainder of the week. Even
if all the contests are played the win
ners will not be determined, and it
will be necessary to run the games
well into next week. Interest seems
to be lagging somewhat and the Dis
trict Association wants to get the
teams lined up for the final series
before snow files.
Will Ask Manager.
President Doyle will ask the va
rious managers for a solution to-

Rllly Queal, who coached the Yale

runners of the track team for five or
six years, has arrived In France as
one of the Y. M. C. A. physical In
structors. uueal'a loss will be a hard blow to
cross-country running at Yale, for If
varsity football Is played at New
Haven the amount of time that John
ny Mack can give to cross-country
running Is problematical.
Queal had much to do with the de
velopment of the late John Overton,
and It was his careful training that
put Overton In condition for his series
of brilliant races with Jole Ray In the
winter of 1018-17.

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 18. There is so thought of a curtailment of the
football season at the Naval Academy judging' by the present activity. As
a matter of fact, the season was outlined strictly according to the wishes
of the Navy Dcpsrtment, and there has been no suggestion of any change
in the arrangements. Six gomes have been scheduled, and it is believed
that all will be played. Two other dates are open, and they will be filled
shortly.
Not one opponent of the Midshipmen has notified the local manage
ment of its purposes to cancel. On the contrary, Colby, which is the fur
thest removed of all the teams which are on this season's Navy schedule,
has written assuring the Navy management that it will fill the date.
Coach Coble has been working for
a month with a fine squad of new
midshipmen numbering over a. hun
dred. Monday the members of the
squad of last year began to report,
giving, up a portion of their scant
leave, and all of them are expected
this week.
Intensive practice, such as has .had
no precedent here, is being directed
by Doble. who has three sessions a

and tackles; Harvey, center, and
Ewen and Graves, ends. There is
likely to be some warm competition
for most of the positions, Doble hav
ing made it clear that everything is
open to those showing themselves;
worthy.
For the position at center, left open

Foster, Arthur, and Harvey, of last
year's squad, and Larson, a new man
who has been doing good work. All
of the tackles and guards of last
season are back, but there are a num
ber of new men of high caliber. Sun
derland, a 185-pound guard, who
played on the eleven of the Missouri
School of Mines, and King, a big fel
low from Iowa, who shows great
promise in practice, seem to be the
most available.
Von Helmberg Gone.
Of Von Helmberg. Graves and
Ewen. who were generally found at
the ends last year, the latter two are
still In the Academy, and there are
several good men from the substitutes
of last year and the new class. In

regular backfleld of last season, are
still In the Academy, only Martin hav
ing graduated.
Other backs from last year's squad
are Coombs. Clark. Whelchel and
Rhodes, while Rawllnrs. Alvord and
Severn, of the new class, have given
special promise.
The season will open on October 5,
against Lebanon Valley. The other
dates are October 12. North Carolina

Clark, unoues, j i .... .
Andrew Miller, owner of the world
famous sprinter, the aged gelding
Roamer. has acepted the den of Willis
Sharpe Kilmer, owner of Sun Briar,
for a match race between these two
great thoroughbreds. In all proba
bility the race will be seen at the
Laurel (Md.) meeting next month.
' Since Sun Briar, In a private trial
at Saratoga, was credited unofficially
with bettering Roamer's officially
recognized world record of 1:31-4-5
for a mile. Kilmer has been on the
trail of Roamer's owner for a race
between these two great thoroughbreds.
Miller yesterday announced thas
he cwas ready to send his great
Roamer against any and all horses in
a match race, weight for ge. lie
would like to have Cudgel. Westy
Hogan or any others that care to ac
cept the Issue and try conclusions
with his champion at a mile or even
more.
As Sun Briar Is about the only
horse of Roamer's class that has kept
to the top edge of racing form, it is
likely these two only will go to the
post In the event that the big race
materializes.
