GEORGETOWN FOOT BALL TEAM WILL START PRACTICE FRIDAY Call Has Been Issued for Veterans to Re port This Week for Initial W ork-Outs. BY "CURLEY" BYRD. Foot ball prat-tier will start at (leorjfe t<">wn Friday of this week. The call has been issued for candidates tn report on that date for the initial work-outs, per-t sonal letters having been sent to all the veterans and all the new men that are known to be coming to be present on that date. It is hardly probable that anything much wi'l be done this week other than to pet things in motion and matters straightened out so that the squad may settle down to hard work Monday. It is the intention, though, at present to have a little light work both Friday and Saturday, provided enough of the men answer the call by that time. Heretofore for years the players have come straggling in at almost any time after September 1.1, and it is not likely that everybody will be on hand this week, though it is almost certain that a good nucleus of veterans will be present in answer to the first summons Coach Nielsen will probably take up the entire first week in the development of the elements of the game, it not being his intention to have a scrimmage until the week of the first game, which will be September :?>. Nielsen's policy this fall in developing the team will he to get it into the best possible condition for the Virginia game, every effort being bent toward securing another victory over the Orange and Blue. While it will be his purpose to make as good a showing as possible in the Carlisle and West Point games, in preparing for these the fact will not be lost sight of that the most important Kame on the schedule is with Virginia, and no risk will be run of not having the eleven on edge for that contest by ON EDGE FOR GAMES Golfers in Top Form at Prac tice on Apawamis Links. HILTON OUT ON COURSE Great Britain Champion Teams Up With Edwards of Texas for Afternoon Match. NEW YDRK, September 11 ? Fractice rounds may not win championships, but they are at least straws indicating which way the wind blows. Final preparation on the part of more than 200 golfers, a .majority of whom have entered In the national tournament to 6tart on the links of the Apawamis Club today, revealed the fact that all were on edge Although not in quest of the golf title. Gov. A. D. Willson of Kentucky played over the course in company with Horace L* Hotch kiss, one of the founders of the seniors' tournament. Harold Hilton, champion of Great Brit ain, made two circuits of the links, and in the afternoon, with J. A. Edwards of Texas tor a partner, he played against C. B. Buxton of Philadelphia and J. T. Gwathmey of the home club. Hilton and his partner attempted to concede six strokes to their opponents, but were beaten by 2 up and 1 to play. Hilton had a 75, and in the morning he placed a 74 to his credit. Oswald Kirkby and Robert C. Watson pulled a hard match out of the ttrfe at the expense of Fred Herreshoff and Findlay S Douglas. They were all square going out, but later Kirkby and the L\ S. G. A. j secretary found themselves 2 down, with only three holes to play. The Englewood crack then got busy, making the last three holes in 4. 4, 3. and winning for his side by 1 up. He made a 73, while his partner had 7!>. Douglas had 75 and Herreshoff 81. The best ball card was as follows: Kirkby and Watson Out ...............4 3 4 4 3 4 I o t>?."?> In ................1 4 .! 4 5 4 4 4 J?3?>?70 j Herreshoff and Douglas Out .....i o 4 4 3 4 4 ?> ?)?3t> In 4 u 3 3 o 4 o ti 4?37?73 j W. C. Fownes, jr., and J II. T. McMur-i trie tinished all square in a four-ball; match with Gardiner W. White and J. D. 1 Brown, the Scotch entrant. Starting out, j the national champion and the Apawamis' golfer got the jump on their opponents, winning the first two holes. White won j the short fifth in but even so Fownes j .ind AIcMurtrie turned for home 3 up. | their best-ball card going out reading 3.1, as against 38 for the opposition. White j then won the tenth In 3 ancji the twelfth ' in Z. going along so fast that at the j fifteenth the Oakland player and his i partner stood 1 up. Fownes won the sixteenth in 2 and his side became dormie with a 4 at the long seventeenth. White then squared the match with a 3 on the home green. Both sides had best ball cards of 71. Fownes made a 38 and a developing it too rapidly, so that a little ' better showing could be made against the Indians and the Army. While personally roach Nielsen would like to have h's Cam at Its best against both the In dians and Army, and see it play Its best games against these two teams, the school had rather win frm Virginia, and Nielsen will look out for the Interests of the student body and alumni before anything else. Just now the Carlisle game appears to be a sort of thorn In the sides of the Blue and Gray eleven. The Indians will have had three weeks' more practice, in any event, than will Georgetown, and besides have four practice games to play while Georgetown has but two, and pos sibly but one. The Warner crew has been working out twice a day for the last two weeks, and with the best pros pects that he has had In years fof turning out a representative Carlisle team the Cornell man will probably bring to Washington the best Indian team that has represented the school in several sea sons. If Warner had not thought that he would have an excellent chance to turn out the best team In years he would not have tried so hard to have the game with Harvard arranged. Here tofore Carlisle has come down here after playing a big team and has never appeared at Its best, and, at that, has had little trouble scoring when it pleased on elevens In this section. Georgetown will have its hands full to make a good showing in the game with the Indians when they come here October 14. The two preliminary games that were on the Blue and Gray schedule are prac tically unknown quantities. Word has come from one in authority at William and Mary that that schoc' will play here, but nothing is definitely known as to whether Randolph-Macon will favor Georgetown or Virginia, probably the latter. At best Georgetown will go into the Carlisle game without having been put to a real test. 36 for a 74. which was a stroke better than Wrhite. The card follows: Fownes and McMurtrie?

Travis and Tom McNamara. the Boston homebred professional, had no trouble in taking the measure of Mason Phelps, a former western titleholder, and Herbert Strong, the Apawamis "pro." The first named .pair won 4 up and 2 to play, returning a best ball of 72, against 76 for the other side. Phelps was driving an unusually long ball. Others on the course included Jerome R. Travers of Upper Montclair, the metro politan champion; Gilman P. Tiffany of Powelton, Albert Seckel, the western title holder; George Stanley, the new Inter collegiate champion; H. B. Lee, the Michigan titleholder, and C. P. Eddy of Princeton. Brice S. Evans and' J. B. Hy land, a pair of Boston players, spent the day with H. C. Richards and Philip Sam son over at St. Andrews. Hyland has had scores of 80, 81 and ?> at Apawamis re cently. The club has arranged for an ex tra supply of caddies from Greenwich and Wykagyl. WANT GAMES.

WARNED OF ASSASSINS. Gary, Ind., Bribe Informer Fears for His Life. CHICAGO, September 11.?T. B. Dean, who caused the arrest Friday of several officials of Gary, Ind., on charges of ac cepting bribes, last night told of an al leged plot to take his life. "When I went to Gary," he said, "a friend mot me the station and asked me what I had with me. ?Nothing,' I said. 'For God's sake take this and go straight to your hotel,' he said, and slip ped a revolver in my pocket. When I got to the hotel I took it out and threw it away. I don't carry a gun. ' Then a policeman friendly to me stole in and save me the same story. He add ed that I was to be shot?shot through the head. A gun was to be planted be side me and the story was to be that a policeman had killed me in self-defense.'' Umpire, Struck by Ball, Dies. BOSTON, September 11.?Struck in the head by a base ball when umpir ing a game at Riverslde-on-the Charles, Meyer Sehlesburgr is dead at the Boston Relief Hospital, where he was taken after the accident. WILL AGAIN DIRECT GEORGETOWN ELEVEN. FRED K. NIELSEN. When foot ball practice starts at Georgetown Friday for the coming season the task of developing the second win ning eleven that the school has had in the last eight years will again belong to Fred K. Nielsen, the man who last year turned out the first team 011 the hilltop that has beaten the Blue and Gray's greatest rival, Virginia, since 1901. Every present indication seems to presage another successful season for the Blue and Gray under the tutelage of Nielsen. The cases have been few and tar between where western men have come east and made a success at coaching, and yet Nielsen has done that, and in no undecided manner. There is not a man in the east who has a better record, and it is doubtful if there is one with as good as the. University of Nebraska man. It is mighty seldom that a coach can look back over his career as a foot ball mentor and see that In all the years he has coached he has never had a losing team, yet that is something that Nielsen can do. Nielsen has had charge of an eleven every year since 1004, with a sin gle intermission when he gave up the work during the season of 1900, and during that time he has never failed to win a single important game, nor has he ever finished a season with a losing eleven. His teams have always been better than the average of those in the class in which they were playing. Two years at the Maryland Agricultural College, two at George Washington and one at Georgetown, he has turned out not only good elevens, but in four of the five seasons he has won championships. The year that he failed to annex the championship at George Washington was when, for la?k of material and poor support from the university, the team was about to be disbanded, but Nielsen held it together simply through the strength of his own personality, and Thanksgiving day of the same year it held Georgetown to a 0-0 score, for the first time in the history of the school. Nielsen undoubtedly was the first man to start the open style of play when the rule allowing the forward pass was promulgated in 190B. Jack Cates of Yale, who had charge of the Navy that year, refereed Nielsen's biggest game that season, and he said afterward that for speed and general all-around style of play he? had never seen a superior to Nielsen's team. Since then Nielsen has developed the open and the close styles so much in unison that he has attained what few other coaches in the country have?a happy medium that keeps the team on the defensive bewildered all the time as to what will next be done. The defensive and offensive powers of the elevens that have been turned out by Nielsen in the past may best be shown by giving the records of his teams during the last two years. During the previ ous two seasons that Nielsen has coached his team ran up a grand total of 47B points against 55 scored by the oppos ing elevens. The scores have not been made against poor teams, either, as Lehigh, Virginia. Naval Academy, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Washington and Lee, North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College. University of Pitts burgh, North Carolina University and Bucknell have been some of the schools against which his elevens have played. Up until the time when Nielsen's elevens met the mentioned teams they were considered} as being in a class much below the majority of them. Unless present indications go amiss the Nebraska man's record will be graced this year by another championship aggregation. FIRST REAL TRYOUT Morris'Will Have Opportunity to Show if He Can Fight. JIM FLYNN A TOUGH MAN Victory Over Kaufman Proved This. Bout Sure to Draw Eecord Crowd. Special Dispat'-h to The Star. NEW YORK, September It.?Not since Jack Johnson brought about the white hoj>e problem by defeating Jim iefTries at Reno, more than fourteen months ago, has any battle between heavyweights oc casioned the interest amonp America's sporting fraternity as the bout between Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Riant, and Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, which Is to be staked at Madison Square Garden Friday night It will do more to prove whether or not the white race has a promising" contender for the heavy weight title than all the white hope tournaments or ordinary heavyweight bouts have yet shown by furnishing Carl Morris with his first real tryout. Morris is and has been the one white heavyweight who has been taken at all seriously as a probable successor to Jack Johnson. His wonderful physique and strength have gained him consideration which has been denied all other white heavyweights, and the important requi sites of speed and rins knowledge, which Morris lacked when he first beg&n to box, have taken up the attention of com petent trainers and teachers for more than a year. How far Morris has ad vanced along- these lines the coming bout will go far to prove, at the s#me time showing whether he gives early promise of developing championship caliber. Flynn removed all doubts as to who was supreme in the ranks of white heavyweights, after Johnson had elimi nated Jeffries, by his decisive victory over A1 Kaufman a few months ago. The latter was generally considered the be.-rt In his class until his bout with the Pueblo fireman. But neither Flynn nor Kaufman has ever been regarded as a possible winner over the present cliamr pion. The solution of the problem re quired a better man than any of the heavyweights who developed before the jJeffries-Johnson bout, and the public has regarded Morris as the most likely successor to the present champion. Morris has shown punching ability ahd as much cleverness as might be expected from a beginner in his two bouts against heavyweights who ever enjoyed pugilis tic reputation?Marvin Hart and Mike Schretk?but neither of these could be regarded as strong enough to furnish a real tryout Both had long passed be yond their prime before hooking up with the Oklahoma giant, and had little chance against Morri>' youth and strength, even though he did lack ring experience. In Flynn, Morris will face a man who can make him extend himself to win. Morris will have the advantage in height, reach, weight and strength, and Flynn will have to match his experience against these four advantages. Flynn is known to possess a knockout punch and a fair amount of cleverness. Flynn lias been training at Johnson's roadhouse and Morris is at the Pc Forest camp at Allenhurst, N. J. Both have been handling their sparring partner^ as if they were lightweights, and are said to be in fine trim for the contest. The result of the bout is regarded as only secondary to the possibilities it may show for Morris as a successor to Johnson. BASE BAIL BRIEFS. The Athletics, with a lead of six very large games, go to New York today to begin a three-game series with the High landers. Schllte has made a vow to get a home run every other day from now until the 1 end of the season, but he may not be able to keep it. Tyrus Cobb defeated Cleveland yester-i day. The Detroit star scored a run un aided on an infield single and took part ; in a thirteenth-inning rally which gave 1 the Tigers victory. i Connie ^lack switched from the Pirates 'to the Giants to win the pennant, but the chances are that the Athletics' leader will have to switch once more before he gets on the right team. Jackson and Lajole did not enjoy the game in Detroit yesterday. Joe made one hit in four times at bat, while Larry got one in five attempts. Meanwhile Cobb hit safely three times in six trips to the plate. Manager Clarke took his band of Pi rates to West Baden Springs last night He wants to get them in shape for the double-headers with Chicago Thursday and Friday, and the series with New York, which follows. Honus Lobert recently said that the only way to stop Ty Cobb on the bases is to keep the ball ahead of him. Cleve land failed to do that yesterday, and after beating out an infield hit Cobb kept right on going until he slid into the plate safely Kid Foster's fielding these days is the prettiest thing at the lot and it's worth the prioe of admission to see him work. Washington made no mistake in getting him.?Rochester Herald. A large majority of the Giants wit nessed the game between the Highland ers and the Washington club last Wed nesday afternoon, and they had the time of their lives laughing at Germany Schaefer, who was at his best as a dia mond comedian. "That's one. fellow I would like to have on my club." said MrGraw. "He is not only a cracking good player, but he would make our vaudeville show com plete." It will be a long time before Schaefer can get out of the American League, however, and we'll have to wait. Can you imagine what a rollicking old time it would be at the Polo Grounds with Germany Schaefer on the coaching lines??New York World. SHOULD TENNIS CHAMPIONS PLAY THROUGH TOURNEY? A. F. Wilding Thinks That All Players in a Competition for Premier Honors of a Nation Should Start Under the Same Conditions. NEW YORK, September 11.?A. F. | Wilding has joined the forces of those who believe that the holder of a lawn tennis championship should play through a tournament and not play only in the challenge match. He thinks that the ad- j vantages of the holder who stands out are exaggerated, but at the same time is strongly in favor of all conditions bein? equal for every one. He expresses his willingness to resign the British cham pionship or to adopt any other arrange ment suggested by the All-Rngland club to bring about the desired result. In the course of the article in Fry's Magazine for September Wilding -says "I presume the object of the champion ship is to decide who is the beet player of the year. This being so, surely ail players should start under the same con ditions and, as nearly as practical in a knockout event, run equal chances of be ing quitted. But how can the conditions be called fair when the challenger ha^ eight matches to win and the holder one to gain the same end, i. e., the champion ship for the year? It is for this reason, and not because of the physical strain about which so much exaggerated twad dle has ibeen written. ;rat 1 give my vote for the holder playing through. Physical strain there undoubtedly is. but not so much as critics and so-called judges would have us suppose. Give Little Thought to Training:. "Up to tjje present the average first class lawn tennis player has hardly given a thought to training. If such players as desire to gain the highest laurels at Wimbledon would embark upon a scientific course of preparation less would be heard of this physical collapse?physical collapse brought about by what? By playing one match a day for two weeks, with a complete no play rest Sundays and the day be for the challenge round. I honestly believe, provided a little trouble and care are exercised, that the average player can come up for the challenge round better for a really hard struggle than he was on the opening day. "The worry of playing, day after day. what for length and anxiety is the equivalent of an ordinary final, must naturally jag the nerves of the chal lenger a little. But to counterbalance this, a player meeting with success day after day on the same court and under the same conditions plays him self in, and gains great confidence. It is unnecessary to point out what a wonderful nss^t ronfl<1fnc? 1* Further, the challenger also gets thoroughly ac climated to his surroundings "Now let U8 turn to the holder and briefly summarize hi* preparation It Is onlv fair and jUKt that the authori ties should allow the holders to prac tice in the morning on the almost sacred center court But pl?> is only permitted when the court la ahsolutel> dry. J.nd then onl\ for a limited tint*. Practice, however, of whatever deg:e-? of severity Is n<>t the !-ani* thhig as a match. "The morning and afternoon "lights are absolutely different. During a match the people in the stands and the pu/.zltng position of the sun. a blemish ? hlch really spoils the center court tn sunny weather, make the atmosphere, light and surroundings as tho;-e of another sphere [ from the serene and quiet morning As to Advantage. "It will be apparent fr^m what T havw endeavored to *.av that In my view (I) a 1 great deal too much is apt to be made o? the supposed advantage had by the hold ! er who waits for a challenge, and (2) 'that in normal circumstances It may more often be found that it Is the chal i lenger who is really favored by the pres | ent conditions. "While these are my views, yet, in I conclusion. I must say that I am strongly I in favor of all conditions being equal for | every one. Whether the holder or chal lenger has an advantage on the day of |the match of the challenge round is not the point upon which I base this view. Probably in one case it would favor ths holder, and In another the challenger. "Having given expression to such an opinion. I am anxious to go further. If the All-England t'lub will bring about this altogether desirable change. I. as champion for 1911, am willing to assist them in every posslbl? way that lies in my power. If resigning the champion ship would facilitate matters nothing would give me greater pleasure. "Or, in the alternative. I would adopt any other arrangement suggested by the> All-England Club to bring about this much needed reform, as, for instance, if it were suggested to advertise the con ditions of play as including the condition that the holder should piav through, I personally should gladly cons?yit to that course. Some system of seeding the draw .might even he advantageously adoptea in order to make the players' tasks as nearly equal as possible. "However, it is a dangerous precedent to adopt, as all other clubs would almost certainly follow suit, and many little un pleasantnesses and heart burnings might take place in small country clubs and tournaments." CONNIE MACK'S SPIES ARE GETTING LINE ON GIANTS Fact That McGraw's Men Are Good Base Runners May Handicap Athletics, Whose Catchers Are Doubtful. Special Dispatch to The Star. I PHILADELPHIA, September 11.?Con nie Mack considers the American League * pennant won, and he also figures that New York looks like the likely National contender for world's honors. For several days Mack has had spies following the Giants and getting a line on the weak nesses of Individual members of the team. In the event of the Mackmen going against the Giants, the style of play of the Athletics will be changed so as to overcome the fast work of the Nationals on the bases. The Giants have si* men who are classed among the leading base stealers in the National League, and Mack will have to do some tall coaching with his catchers and pitchers to hold the Na tionals on the sacks. There is not a i pitcher in the entire Philadelphia outfty who is adept at holding a runner to tirst base>. and as Mack has not the best throwing catchers in the league h?* will FOR THE WICKED RICH. i ? . Fanatic Arretted While Praying in Front of Homes of Wealthy. NEW YORK, September 11.?For t lie fifth time within a week the police early today had occasion to arrest a religious | fanatic for praying in front of the homes I of the wealthy on 5th avenue. The man arrested today was found kneeling at the corner of 40th street, a crowd of peo ple watching him, part in reverence and part in smiling mockery. The kneeling figure was oblivious to everything but his prayer. At Flower Hospital, where the police took h*m, the man said he had recently "got religion" at a Bowery mission and have to roach his players into getting th? other team's signals. This was the game he worked in the American League last season, and against the Cubs In the world's series of 1910. If Mack can stop the Giants on the bases his men will likely win the world s cham pionship as easily as they won It last year. If Chicago wins It is likely the Ath letics will play the same slam-bang style against the Cubs that they put up last year. National League critics figure that Mack will have an easier time repeating against Chicago than he would have win ning against New York. And they Jo acknowledge the odds on the American League champions against any National club. It Is Interesting to note that had Frank Chance taken advantage of the oppor tunity to get Cy Young his pennant hopes would have been stronger now. Chance could have secured Young's services without paying the waiver price, hut be figured the veteran pitcher was all in. Young has won thr<*e and lost two gam** sine* going to thp Boston Nationals, and it is almost sato t?> say his record would have h<???n four victories had h* br#?n with the Cubs had been called to im^r^ed* for ihe wlck f ed rich from the asphalt of Mh avenue He was removed to the p?; . hopathic ward at Bellpvue.
