Army Elevens Play
Tie Game for Title

IN TIE W
FOR THE TITLE
Battery B and Troop H Fail to
Decide the Championship
FINAL SCORE WAS 5 TO 5
Cavalry Team Shows Great De-i
tensive Strength—Lieuten-
ant Gay Is Injured.
There is still a tie for the football'
championship ot Fort Sam Houston. 1
On a slippery field at Electric park!
yesterday afternoon the Battery B!
and Troop II elevens battled for four'
periods and the contest ended in a
tie at 5 to 5. It was the second time I
this season that these two elevens
have played an indecisive contest and!
it looks as though they were fairly |
evenly matched.
The result of the contest was a,
severe blow to the followers of the |
team, for they were confident—as
were the members of the team—that
the artillery aggregation would pull j
out on the long end of the score. At|
that the latter eleven was lucky, for.
a "bone-headed” play on the part of a!
member of the cavalry team lost them
a chance to kick a goal from touch-1
down, after they had the ball directly!
in front of the goal posts.
After the touchdown had been
made, the man carrying the ball out
placed it on the ground apd they
tried to get into position to hold the
pigskin. The artillery boys were on
the alert and rushed over the inter
vening ground and forced the full
back of the cavalry to make the try,
while the ball was on the ground.
This proved a failure and the last
chance of the latter to annex the game
and title was lost.
The cavalry team proved a surprise
nnd they played excellent football at
all times. Their main strength was
on the defense and they held their
opponents many times and forced
them to resort to punting during the
final period. This almost resulted m
another score for the artillery, for
they carried the ball more than fifty
yards and had it on the fifteen-yard
line when time was called at the end
of the game.
The contest was at all times excit
ing and abounded in brilliant defen
sive football. Both teams were strong
in that department of the game and
ground-gaining was at a premium.
Doth teams took advantage of pla; s
by their opponents when they scored
their touchdowns, and they were the
only times during the entire contest
when the teams showed any great of
fensive strength.
The touchdown of the artillery was
made in the second, with but a coupk
of minutes of play remaining for the
period. They had carried the ball up
the field on a series of line plunges
and dashes outside of tackle, but a
penalty forced Bannon to try for a
goal from the field. This went out
side of the uprights and the cavalry
brought the ball out to the twenty
live yard line and put it in play. They
were unable to gain and punted. De-
Blue caught the punt and returned it
twenty yards. The battering ram at
tack was started again and the ball
»von within the shadow of the
£bal posts. A fumble occurred, but

an artillery man was on the ball on
the one yard line. Two plays and Le-
Bltte carried the ball over the line.
Bannon failed at the goal.
A recovered punt was the medium
of the score made by the Troop H. In
the third quarter, with the ball in
the center of the field, Probst punted
and Sumpter recovered for his side
and tore off twenty yards more be
fore he was downed on the ten-yard
line. The artillery braced and held I
their opponents for two downs, but I
Rice proved equal to the occasion and!
negotiated the necessary distance for;
the score. In his dash around the bat-|
tery left end he eluded three tacklers
by clever dodging and this play was:
one of the features of the contest. The;
goal was a failure through the slip-up
on the part of Burke.
Leßlue and Bannon proved the!
stars of the artillery and the former;
was the only consistent ground gain-i
er for his side. For the cavalry Rice ।
was the star performer and was ably;
assisted by Burkett and Probst.
An unfortunate accident to Lieut-j
tenant Gay on the first line-up de-1
prived the artillery of one of their.
best players and sent that player to;
the hospital. After the kick-off the;
two teams lined up on the forty-yard '
line and Lieutenant Gay reeled off
the signals for the first play. In pars
ing the ball to Leßlue. he dislocated,
। his shoulder for the second time this]

It was in 1904. when New Yorkj
and Boston were fighting it out for
the American league pennant, that!
Cleveland put a crimp in the former's:
pennant aspirations. A terrific three-1
base hit by George Stovall was the!
trick that beat the Yanks out of the
pennant, but back of that smash was I
the noodle of Joss.

STONE WINS POOL
inn hm miz
A surprise was handed out in the
Elks pool tournament yesterday af
ternoen when the final match of the
tournament was plaped. Lentz, pick
ed as the sure winner of the first
place, after his brilliant perform
ances in his other matches in the
early rounds, opposed R. R. Stone,
in the final contest and the latter
showed surprising strength and nosed
out a winner by the score ot 100 to
95.
The contest was a close one from
th efirst frame and there was no de
cided advantage for either player un
til the final half of the match, wh _n
Stone forged ahead and maintained
his advantage until he had pocketed
the final ball.
Ther . were two other matches plac
ed in the final round. Stone meeting
and defeating R. L. Watkins yb the
score of 100 to 74, while in the other
contest Lentz scored 100 bails while
Cooper pocketed but 76.
Both the pool and billiard tour
n.ments furnished exciting contests
from start to finish and proved so
successful that there will be another
arranged in a short time. The entry
list in each event was th elargest in
th" history of these events at the

well for the development of these
games at the club. The summary of

Asscciat?<l Press.
New York, Dec. 19.—The forma
tion of a grand circuit of automobile
speedways is being urged by manufac
turers here and a definite movement
looking to the organization of such a
circuit will probably be made during
the season of winter automobile
shows early next year.
The advocates of the circuit
scheme point out that one of the big
gest items of expense in the racing
business for manufacturers is caused
by the long jumps about the country
that have to be made to take in the
leading meets. If a circuit is ar
ranged. they say, so that teams can
go from one track to the other, mak
ing short jumps in a definite order,
the public will probably become more
conversant with what is being at
tempted and the manufacturers would
be able to reduce expenses mate
rially. A more genuine participation
in racing events would also be possi
ble and many more makers would be
able to enter.
Under this scheme racing at the
beginning of the year would be con
ducted on the Pacific Coast at Santa
Monica. San Francisco and Seattle.
ITrom the coast the racing “stables”
Would journey to the middle west.
Chicago. Cleveland and other tracks
thereabouts would follow naturally In
the circuit and then the racers would
come further east. Buffalo and New
York would get the meets thereafter
for a time and then would come the
racing in Philadelphia. With the com
ing of autumn the racers would move
on to Atlanta. Now Orleans and Texas
points, with the year ending at Or
monde and Jacksonville.
