Scholastic Sensation Tackles Wortky Opponent in Erasmus Eleven To-day By Jack Masters The scholastic football championship o? Brooklyn is within the grasp of the Commercial High School eleven, and before evening shadows fall upon Com? mercial Field the ?carlet and gray aggregation, which has amazed fellow- I ers of high school football this ssa- I son, may have attained Hie ?ovoted I goal. The answer rests with the scrappy lot of players representing Erasmus Hall, who will contest every inch of ground in an effort, to prevent a Com? mercial vietery. If Commercial de? feats the Buff and Blue the issue will b'- definitely settled, but if Erasmus emerges thy victor the title race will become more complicated. Last week the Commercial boys defeated Poly Picp. while Erasmus has not bee* de? feated by a Brooklyn team. The struggle this afternoon should prove one c-f the high light-: of the scholastic season, and from all indi ci.tioTis n large number of students will have to curtail the lunch budge-t for an indefinite period following the con? test. The Erasmus attack is somewhat ..ore varied than that of Commercial, and this factor m-ay bring about the "i renk'' of the game, ?ut 'the in vitable proviso) Commercial has dem? onstrated its ability to play straight football in a manner likely to turn back any opponent. Thirteen other {?ames will bo played en various school grounds to-day, most of thena in Brooklyn. Poly Prep will attempt to redeem itself against the Boys' Hie-h eleven in the game follow? ing lh_ Erasmus-Commercial affair. The morning contest at Commercial Field will be between Manual and Flushing. For tiie most part, New York teams will be on the "expense" end ?f games I to-day, traveling to eut-of-tewn j grounds. The undefeated De Witt Cunten team, which seem headed tow- : ard the local championship, is an ?ex- | ception. It will play in the City Cel- j lo^c stadium against New Utrecht this morning. The first of a series of ?rniwes for the j ; Catholic championship of Manhattan ' wiil be played at Fordham Field in the afternoon, the opposing eleven.- being Fordham Prep and St. John's. A game which will go far to decide the private school title of the city will be that be? tween Brooklyn Prep and Hamilton Institute at Catholic Protectory grounds this morning. Travers and Herr?n Bow to Ray and \ ardon SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Oct. 22. - Harry Vardon and Ted Bay, the British professional golfers, defeated Jerome D. Travers, of New Tork, ai .1 S.

Middlehury <>ts Send-Off MIDDLEBURY", Vt., Oct. 22.?-The Middlebury football squad of twenty five players under coaches Brown and Morey, which left here this morning for their game with Slovens Institute on Saturday, received a noisy send-off from the entire student body. All of the players are in first class condition i after a week ?f hard scrimmages ; against Stevens formations, put ?an by the scrubs, and while not expressing ' morrow's game Coach Morey .said he was satisfied that the V?rmemters will put up a hard battle to break the En gineers' long string of victories.

Tigers Face Hard T e ? t in Tussle With Navy Team _'_ From a Sppeinl Correspondent PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 22. The Tiger eleven, it having disposed of i throe preliminary contests without ; mishap, now stands on the threshold of its more important games which will determine whether or not the Orange and Black ?ombination will rank this season among the best team? ' in the East. When the Tigers meet Bob Folwell's charges to-morrow in Palmer Sta?ii- ! urn, they will have an opportunity to show what they can do again?*, a team of wore nearly equal strength. The game with the Navy this year will ; murk a resumption of an old time rivalry. Uncle Sam's cadets from Annapolis and the Tigers have met ex- ? aetly a dozen tiir.OB. Princeton has eight victories to her credit, while tho Navy has but one. Three of the frays resulted in draws. The last contest between the two ' oeevirred in 1911 and resulted in a tie ?care. All the above games took pi?c< at Annapolis because of the rule pro? hibiting Navy teams from placing away from hoirie. For this rea-:n Princeton discontinued athletic rela? tions with the middies on 'he gridiron until this year, when the governrni nt decided to put the cadets on a broadci basis and permitted them to journey to Princeton. No supporters are t'i be allowed to accompany the team, bow ever. Despite their inability to he present. the supporters or tee Navy apparently bava unlimited confidence in then team. Navy money is at a prem urn to-night in Princeton a_d some $7.090 : has already been covered at evens, i insney. The confidence of the middies does ; not seem to ,be unfounded when the re? spective merits of the two elevens is I considered. The sailors will outweigh tke Tigers at least five pounds to the ;wan, the difference in tonnace in the I backs being particularly marked. Bob Folwell's men have improved by leaps i and bounds during the last week. The ! members of the victorious crew who ; returned from England two weeks ago, have had ample opportunity to get in ; to sbape, and have strengthened the I eleven considerably. la commenting on the condition of the, Tigers Coach Bill Roper is far from optimistic. Because of the rag ?,?redness of the scrimmage all this last week, combined with the fact that four of the Princeton veterans have been | out of the play, Roper gave his charges j only the lightest kind of a workout i here to-day. There was signal drill, both running ; a_d walking, thrsugh the stays and each r?an was coached individually on | his duties in the vario::.- navy plays. Lou-rio, .Murray and Thompson all did ? some rather pretty drop kicking and ?Sckeerer get off some long pun'.-. Ea.st Side H. S. Triumphs The East Side High School football team, of Newark, defeated the South Side H. S. eleven at City Field, Newark, yesterday afternoon by n score of G to ?. Captain Harry Bankert, who was injured in the De Witt Clinton game, was back in the line-up and was the star of the East Side. team. CriekiM Team in Quarantine LONDON, Oct. 22.?The members of the Marylebone Cricket Club team, which is to tour Australia, landed at Freemantle, West Australia, to-day but will be kept in Quarantine until Tuesday.

Services Without Pay: Lan dis May Be Head By W. O. McGeehan Volunteers for a place on the new baseball board of control, which is to! supersede the National Commission under the Lasker plan, are plentiful. | John A. Heydler yesterday maco public I the fact that James Yv'. Wadsworth, j chairman of the State Racing Commis? sion and father of Senator James W. ! Wadsworth jr., had offered his serv? ices without compensation as n mem? ber cf the new board. General Wadsworth first confided his wishes to work for the rehabilitation of baseball to J. Conway Toole, who I was once mentioned as a can- idate for chairman of the National Commission. The letter to Mr. Toole follows: "if 1 can be of any service ,:i helping to put baseball back on its feet as a member of a commission or in any other way, I will be glad to help, salary no! necessary. 1 am too fond of base' '.11, believin" in it, not only; from a clean sport point of view, but also as a great help to the physical ' deevlopment of young America, to see i it go down In the estimation of the public." Lover of (lean Sport The letter was referred to John A. Heydler, who asked permission to make General VVadsworth's offer public. In reply General Wadsworth wrote: "All my life 1 have been a ??ver of J clean sport. The State Racing Com? mission, ? !" which f hnppen to be chair? man (without salary), with the aid of tho Jockey Club, has put racing in New York State on a high plan??. A Baseball ; Commission with the aid of owners and j managers would do the same with base-1 ball." I In the mean time the report comes ? from Chicago that Federal Judge K. ?VI. Landis has been prevailed upon to ac? cept the chairmanship of the National! Commission, at a salary of $25,000 a year. The story has been published and denied frequently since the days I when organized baseball was fighting! to keep out the Federa! League. The appointment of Judge Landis a ye-ar or more ago might have been ac? ceptable to a majority of the club own-' ?is in both leagues, but it is doubtful: now if the eleven clubs who indorsed tho Lasker plan will recede from their: main point, the removal of power from the old National Commission and the appointmenl of a new board of control' for the game. Local magnates believe that the re? port of the nomination of Judge Landis is a "feeler" on the part of the five Ami rican League clubs supporting Ban Johnson in his opposition to the Lasker plan and the retention of the old Na? tional Com m ission. Colonel Jacob Rapport, president of the New York Yankees, formerly in? dorsed Judge Landis as chairman of the National Commission. It is very probable that he would be heartily in favor of the judge as a member of the new baseball board of control. But the eight National League clubs and three oi the American League clubs are bound by their new agreement at the joint meeting at Chicago to "scrap" the eld Natioin.l Commission and to estab? lish the new baseball board of control. "War" Mere Muttering? In the mean time the current "base | ball war" has died down to mutterings j from all of the big leagne cities. Colo I nel Huston, of the New York Yankees, yesterday declared that the majority of ciub owners hoped that there would be no war and that enough of the , "loyal five" club owners "now backing Ban Johnson would be won over to the Lasker plan to put the thing through. "We did not want to go into the courts on that Mays cas.'," said Colonel Huston. "If. there had been a chair? man of the National Commission in whom we could trust and who was not under the domination of Johnson we would not have gone to the court- We would have recognized a real chair? man ?'!' the National Commission and we wo:.!'! have submitted to his arbitra? tion and to Ins decision. If there had been a real chairman of the National Commission, the career of Hal Chase as a ball player would have been brief. "We do not want to ro into the courts again unless it is absolutely JOHNSTON &.

The "baseball war." like those of the past, has begun to look like watchful waiting in the hope that "everything j will be forgotten" by next spring. But wiser club owners are willing to be? lieve this time that the followers of baseball will demand a real attempt at reforms. CHICACO, Oct. 22. -Judge Kene="w M. Landis, of the United States Court, will be offered the chairmanship of the National Baseball Commission, at a salary of $25,000 a year. This was learned from an authoritative source ' to-day. A report was current that Alfred Austrinn had already tend? red the position to Judge Landis, and that the j latter had accepted, with the proviso that in addition to actinu as the head of organized baseball 1:?: should aiso act as its attorney and see that the ; national game was kept clean. Austrian denied havin-r made the offer, but he added: ""Judge Lam is I been mentioned frequent';,- as an ?deal man for the place.
