Spectacular B a 11 —End
Runs a Feature.
The San Antonio High School football
eleven gave the most brilliant exhibition of
football seen on any ol the local gridirons
this season when they faced the Marsnall
Training School team yesterday afternoon
Electric Park nnd the former team ran up a
score of ten points while their opponents
were unable to register a single point.
From tne first half until the whistle blew
at the close of the contest the Red and
White were superior iu every department of
the game with the exception of several min
utes in the final period when the Marshall
team got together and played the article of
ball of which they are capable. This brace
was unproductive of results, however, for the
High School braced when their opponents
threatened to score they made a stand and
took the ball on downs.
High School assumed the lead in the first
quarter when they scored a touchdown during
the first five minutes of play. This resulted
from a series of end runs interspersed with
quick dashes just outside of tackle that
placed the ball behind the line.
Sun Antonio High School showed a great
improvement in the offensive department of
the game over their- previous exhibition
against Marshall Street, and it was this ad
vance in the work with the bail that enabled
them to overcome their opponents. They
showed a diversity o£ attack that was bewil
dering to Marshall Street and they took full
advantage vf the new rules iu ail respects.
The forward pass was worked for long gains
time after time, while the dashes outside of
tackle were productive of many first downs.
In fact High depended on the latter play
to gain the necessary distance when Marshall
threatened to hold for downs. Coach Htieler’s
proteges at times gave indications of a pow
erful attack but it was not concentrated and
Jost them opportunities of scoring. The power
was not there when most needed, while the
interference for the end runs was scattered
and allowed the High School backs and line
men to filter through and land the man with
the ball almost as soon as he received the
pass from the center.
High School kicked off at the start of the
game to the twenty-yard line and Marshall
carried it back to the thirty-yard line. After
a series of plays the bail was in the center
of the field but there it was lost on downs.
Then Elmendorf and Cunningham proved their
worth, for these two players carried the ball
to the twenty yard line. The latter then
broke loose for a rund around end and was
only downed one yard from the goal line.
The same player then placed the ball in
back of the goal posts on a plunge through
the line. Elmendorf tried for the goal but
missed by a couple of feet.
After the next kick off the ball changed
hands several times, both teams resorting to
the forward pass, but only one try in each
three proved a ground gainer. Near the
close of the quarter after High School had
secured the ball Cunningham, by a brilliant
run of thirty yards, placed the ball within
twenty yards of another score but there Mar
shall braced and took the ball on downs. The
period ended with the bulb in High School’s
possession on their forty-five-yard line.
The second period was a repetition of the
first, with the exception of the score. Both
teams showed great strength on the defense
and for the greater part of the time the
teams hattl in the Renter of the field.
There was plenty of action in the next
quarter. Marshall kicked off nnd after a
couple of plays, featured by the forward pass
from Elmendorf to Cunningham for a thirty
yard gain, High School lost possession on the
forty-five-yard mark. Marshall punted and
the Red and White resorted to the use of
the forward pass but failed a number of
times to gain ground. Marshall, when they
had the ball, tried the same method of gam
ing, but they did not have auy more suc
cess than did High School.
The excitement in the final quarter over
shadowed that of all of the others and the
two teams divided the honors. The Red and
White took full advantage of the weaknesses
of their opponents and scored another touch
down.
The ball was put in play on the forty-five
yard mark with Marshall in possession. They
made a forward pass on the first play but
the blla was brought bark and they were
penalised fifteen yards because of the failure
of the receiver of the pass to remain at least
a yard bhind the line of acrimmage. They
then punted but the ball went up in the air
and High captured the ball on their thirty
five-yard line. Smith was then brought into
tho ground gaining plays and he carried the
pigskin to the thirty-yard mark.
On the first lineup Cunningham was down
ed on the one-yard line after he had nego
tiated the intervening distance and he was
given another opportunity of carrying the ball
through the line and he made good for he
registered another touchdown. Elmendorf
again failed to kick the goal.
After a few more plays time was called
with the pigskin on the fifty-yard line. Cun
ningham, smith and Elmendorf were the stars
for High School, while Murdock and Jacks
played well for Marshall. The lineup:

West Point, N. Y., Oct. 15.—The Army
mule ia braying lustily and raucously iu his
stall m celebration ut today's great victory
of West Point over Yale by tbs score of 9
to o. It is the first time the Army has bad
u chance to go ' dippy over such a result
since 19U3 aw the c-uets arc certainly mus.
ing the most C it.
I'here was | fluky about West
Pciut s triumph. . Apiayed late at an
point* and snowed a J gieater acquaiui
auca with *’uew football' than tue lads
irom New Haven. The laie tesui that tu»u*d
ueieat today for tne first time since loua
was only a sorry reminder ol the great mu
cUino that Yale had last year.
ahe Blue bunch was bauiy snot up through
out the aiternouii and the Harvard and
Fnnceton scouts who were un Laud uad hard
wurk in suppressing their smites in contem
plation of tneir coming struggle with Tale.
West Point's back Held, particularly Dean,
played wonderful luotbail, and Hicks, at end,
whs u potent help iu his whirlwind covering
ol Deuu’s punts. Tnough out kicked iu point
of distance by Deming, Dean showed lar bet
ter judgment in placing his kicks. He kicsed
to the blue, giving tne x'aie backs much trou
ble iu retrieving his punts, whereas Deming
usually kicked squarely into the hanus or
West Point backnien. xale gave a son/ ex
hibition of open Held tackling, even such a
wniriwiud as ixilpamck using naudicappeu by
the rule that prohibits flying tackles.
West Point a first scoie came eariy iu tho
game when Corey tossed a forward pass
squarely luto bquureTs hand and the army
man, shaking oit several tacklers, ran thirty
yards to Yale's eight-yard line. Dean then
showed tho Yale wen how a forward pass
should be made by fussing the ball tu buries,
who romped over the line fur u touchdown.
Dean kicked goal and the army cohorts
hugged themselves over the possession of six
poiuts.
in the third quarter Dean aga n bobbed
to the front with a goal from placement from
the 3dyard hue, his only successful trial uf
three. Iu the last quarter Yale speeded up a
bit and though still playing raggedly she be
gan to make better gains. Kicking from his
uwn thirty-yard line, Camp shot up a twister
that the Army back misjudged, allowing the
bah to hit the ground. "Greyhound’’ Kilpat
rick picked it up and ran to the Army's
22-yard line. Here the Army braced and Cap
tain Daly dropped back and booted a pretty
goal from the field, making the score 9 to 3.
Three minutes later the game ended with
the ball iu the middle of the field and the
cadets joyously massed around the colors.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 15.—Manager Jack

as certain that either George Stallings, late

In an official statement, Hedges holds the
Browns' leader guiltless of participation in
tho alleged favoritism shown Lajoie in last
Sunday's double • header with Cleveland,
which decided the big league batting cham
pionship. The release uf O Connor aud How

criticism of the men by fans and jhe press.
Tho supposition, in basehall circles here to

Ban Johnson Announces Offi

Leaders In the League.
CLOSEST RACE IN YEARS
Less Than Point Separates De
troit and Cleveland Players
After the Great Battle.
United Press.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 15.—For the third
time in the history of his buseoall
career Ty Cobb of the Detroit Ameri
cans was accorded the undisputed title
of the word s cnampion batsman in a
statement issued today by President
uau Johnson ot the American league,
announcing the uiticial averages o£
Cobb ana LaJoie ot the Cleveland
team, his nearest competitor. Cobn
will ue awarded the automobile ot
tered by the Chalmers company as a
prize tor the champion hitter aud
i<ajoie will be presented with a dupli
cate macnine in consideration ot nis
great record for the season.
when the linal averages were loot
ed up, Cobb and Lajoie were lound to
be batting at so near the same aver
age that the percentage had to be
figured down io six decimal points,
Cobb being the winner by .UUOsv
According to the official averages.
Cobb was at bat 509 times, made 196
base hits and finished with a per
centage of .394 94 4.
lAjole was 591 times at bat. made
22 7 ease hits and had a percentage
of .384084.
Corridon is Exonerated.
In awarding tne honors to Co : >b,
however, tne charges brougnt after
the double-header at St Louis Oct. 9,
alleging that LaJoie made his eight
hits un that day because ot the Si.
Louis infield "laying down" to him,
are declared to be unfounded. Third
Baseman Corridon ot the Browns was
vindicated of any intention to assist
Lajoie in his race for the honors by
failing to held his hits.
Manager O’Connor, of tho Browns,
told him. President Johnson said, that
he attributed Lajoie s success in mak
ing his infield hits on that day to ms
shrewdness in switching from tne
driving system he usually employs to
bunting, thereby springing the unex
pected on Corridon, whose major
league experience is limited and whose
regular position is at shortstop.
A thorough investigation has satis
fied President Johnson that there la
no substantial ground for questioning
the accuracy of any of the eight hits
credited to Lajoie by the official scor
er at St. Louis and all of them will
be admitted to the 1910 batting rec
ords ot the American league.
President Johnson said:
"Before reaching this conclusion, I
considered a detailed statement from
Umpire Evans, who officiated in the
games, as well as a special report
from Mr. Collins, the official scorer,
who saw the games and endorsed ths
correctness ot the scoring ot Mr.
Parrish, his assistant.”
Johnson said his discussions with
Third Baseman Corridon and Manag
er O’Connor were followed by indig
nant denials that Corridon misplayed
his position at his own instance or
through sny one connected with the
St. Louis club. Fie also called atten
tion to the fact that it was a matter
of comment that Lajoie frequently
resorted to bunting in the later stages
of the season and that in his report
Umpire Evans said in Tlis judgment
Lajoie was entitled to nine hits instead
of eight.
Publicity is Responsible.
Johnson said he believed that tho
adverse comment both as to Cobb and
Lajoie, as the league season neared an
end, was due to the fact that they
were far ahead of any other player
and attracted unusual attention. The
papers devoted their attention to this
contest in some instances rather than
to the standing of the clubs.
Both men were praised for their
work by Johnson, who said that when
he offered to purchase a duplicate
of the Chalmers trophy for presenta
tion to LaJoie, in recognition for his
services to the American league
throughout his connection with it,
and as a reward for his batting rec
ord, Mr. Chalmers made an urgent
plea that his company be permitted
to donate a similar machine. The
request was granted.
"I have requested President Hedg
es of the St. Louis club to further
probe the charge that some one con
nected with his club attempted to in
fluence the official scorer and wilt in
sist that if future developments war
rant adequate punishment, it will od
meted out to the party or partis*
the statement concludes.
All through the final awarding ot
the prize for the batting champion
ship resting with the American league
officials. Cobb retains his title of na
tional champion by virtue ot the fact
that the prize was offered for the bat
ter in either the National or Ameri
can league with the highest average.
The National league batsmen dropped
lar below Lajoie and Cobb.
