Johnny Earp Makes a Rash Bet and Suffers Greatly Thereby
Sty
tut
mth FOOTBALL, game was played yesterday between Episcopal Academy and St.
PLuko's at Wayne. It was a thrilling battle, with t:;o advantage on nclthei
aide until a drop kick which sailed over the crossbar placed St. Luko's In the lead
""End sho never was headed. Episcopal fought like tigers to even up tho score and
Captain Johnny Karp.playcd like the hero In a story. Ho was all over tho field,
tackling and smashing Interference, and ho carried tho ball for many good gains.
Ho constantly was begging and beseeching his men to play for their lives and
houted:
"Remember, men, this is a serious game. Play HAIID and FIGHT every
minute for dear old Episcopal and do something for ME."
"We'll do that very thing, Cap," was tho chcerv response after each appeal,
but St. Luke's refused to be overcome or defeated. They Just went out and won
that football game and tho score at the end was 10 to 7.
1 Then came tho sad part of the scene, but It will be necessary to turn back a
1 few months to get It right. Johnny Earp was the proud and happy possessor of
-, a mustache. It wasn't a big, strong, healthy mustache which could assert Its
rights and get away with It, but a modest, retiring, unostentatious, demure,
adornment which couldn't harm any one. It was a lovely tan shade and waved
gently In the cool autumn breezes. Johnny had a right to bo proud of tho hirsute
' .appendage, for it took him almost eighteen years to raise it. He was looked upon
with envy by nil of his schoolmates, but never did he allow his fame und popu
larity to turn his head. He treated every one alike.
A few days ago, while practicing for the St. Luke's game. Captain Johnny
made a speech to his men. "We have got to win this game," ho said, "and it is
up to you to do it. If you care anything for me you'll work your heads off, be-
. cause If wo lose I promise you that I will shave off my mustacho and you, never
Will see me with one again!"
"Don't do that, Johnny," sobbed one player. "Don't take such chances. Wo
ahould win; but again, we might lose. What will wo do without It?"
"That means nothing to me," replied Johnny sternly. "Win that game or
tho mustacho comes off. It's my ULTOMATO."
AFTER tho game Johnny went Into tho gymnasium and after a long
search uncovered a tufety razor. Ho had no soap, but that wasn't
needed. After a liberal application of. cold water ho started the work of
destruction. There were tears la his eyes as ho removed tho adornment,
hair by hair, but ho never faltered. Ills teammates sorrowfully watched
the operation, but none offered words of encouragement. When tho upper
lip was scraped clean Captain Earp sadly walked away, leaving evidences
of tho terrlblo destruction behind him.
Thoughtless Playing Marked the Play of Both Teams
AS FOR the gamo Itself, volumes could be written. Both sides used everything
but good plays and tho Held generalship was terrible. Tho second play of the
first period gave St. Luke's a touchdown when one of tho Episcopal backfleldnen
hurled a forward pass straight Into tho arms of LIpplncott. There was no ono
, "there to take the pass, but the ball was thrown anyway, and LIpplncott romped
down tho Held fol a touchdown. Incidentally, the passer failed to cover up and
stood watching the ball until the runner got well under way. A little Judgment
on the thrower's part would have prevented a score. ' .
Questions of field generalship always come up after tho games, but there
was xme yesterday which should bo explained again. St. Luke's had tho ball on
her own 45-yard line, third down and ono yard to go. Good gains had been
mado through the line and oven end runs were netting three and four yards at a
clip. But for some unexplained reason tho quarterback called for a forward
pass, a play which should have been used only as a last resort. The pass was
grounded and the ball -brought back. There still was only ono yard to gain and
this time the signal was given for a punt. Coach Fred GUlender was suffering
"llko a martyr on tho sidelines, but was helpless. He almost keeled over when
tho kick was blocked and the ball bounded back toward St. Luke's goal line, with
half a dozen players chasing It. Fortunately. LIpplncott recovered It for St.
Luko's, but had Episcopal gained the ball the game probably would have been
lost then and there. There Is no need for comment on that play. Study it over
.carefully and try not to pull the same stuff.
'
ANOTHER play came up In the. game which was strange, but not
.unusual. A ball punted by St. Luke's sailed oer the catcher's head
; and rolled toward the soal line. While It was bound-ng an Episcopal man
tried to catch It, but It struck tho
goal line. An Episcopal man fell

battled to a O-to-G tlbe game here this
afternoon, previous to the Penn-Lafayetto
game Lon Jordet's lted and Blue yeai lings
outplayed the vIMtors at every stugo of tho
game, but their lack of punch within the
shadow of tho goal cost them at least two
touchdowns. The toutherners were th'e
Ilrst tn'scuro hi the early minutes of the
M-cond period, when Kuyk intercepted Hos-et-sky's
forward pufh on the Penn 35-ard
lino and dodged nnd straight-armed his way
the entire distance for a touchdown.
Baker. howeer, missed an easy goa' from
touchdown. Thn line plunging of Rosctzky
and y.ucker, who, on straight old-fashioned
football, smashed their way from Virginia's
10-yard lino to tho 8-yard line, featured the
game, ltay Miller, a brother of Captain
Heine Miller, of tho Penn varsity, was the
hero for the Penn Freshmen when he skirt
ed the visitors' end for i touchdown. Uarn

Boxing Patrons Drop Con
tributions in Tin Box at
Cambria A. C.
WALLOPS FLEMMING
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Nailed up against tho wall right at tho
entrance to tho Cambria A. C. last night
was a black tin box. It wasn't n new box
or anything that would attract special at
tention on a crowded street, but It played
an Important part In tho show. When tho
privileged person who gets by tho gate
without a ticket failed to not loo It. ho wac
Introduced by ' Hddlo Walker or Jchnny
Loftus, who wero on tho Job for that
purpose.
Tho little box contained Involuntary con
tributions to tho United States Government
on account of tho war tax. The common or
garden variety of deadheact or tho holder
of "Annie Oakleys" had to drop ono dime,
ten cents, into tho box or tho bars wero
up. No ono was overlooked and soon tho
box was filled to overflowing. Thus It can
be seen that the free list Is unusually large
at tho boxing clubs In this city. I'nclo
Sam should get lots of money from this
source this winter.
"There was no trouble at all," said
Eddie Walker, as he unlo.-tited the coin into
a bag. "A'l the freo customers coughed
up without a murmur, but they didn't
think It clubby to conttibuto real money.
Only one man refused to pay his dime
and that was Danny Hughes, tho buxer.
Ho came In late anil couldn't part with tho
tax."
Clubmen Arc Satisfied
Outside of that a pleasant tlmo waj had
at the club. All of tho members wero
present nnd seemed to enjoy tho acts on tho
bill. Mayor Jim Kceney, of Richmond, and
Johnny Burns wero masters of ceremonies'
and acted tho part of hosts in a satisfac
tory manner. They even collected tho
war tax. '
Tho featuro event of the evening con
sisted of a six-act show with Johnny Till
man and Buck Fleming as the principals
Tillman took the leading part and led
throughout tho half-doen sessions. Ills
leading lead was a left Jab which was
stopped cleverly by Fleming, who used his
face most of tho time for tho purpose. Buck
also blocked some healthy right swings
with his chin and on several occasions was
on tho verge of taking a short nap in
full view- of tho prominent clubmen.
Tillman Is a much Improved boxer since
we last saw him. He has added foinu
cleverness to his repetolro and steps around
the ring In better form. Tillman has moro
confidence In himself, nls punches aro
cleaner and there Is moro force behind
his blows. In six months he has developed
from an ordinary boxer to t headllner. He
should bo a very busy person this winter.
Tillman Uses Left
Johnny started after Fleming from tho
start and soon had Herman Illnden's entry
on tho run. He Jabbed Buck tlmo and
again and then would shoot his right across
with crushing force. Fleming took every
thing Tillman had and never faltered. Hn
proved hla gameness and fougnt back at all
times. It was a wonderful exhibition of
grit, for Buck took enougri punishment to
knock out a dozen boxers.
In the Blxth round Fleming staged a
rally near th? end and scored a technical
knockdown. He led with his right and
Tillman, In an effort to cet awav. sl'pped.
The blow landed en Johnny's Jaw and he
went down on ono knee. It was a fitting
end to a wonderful scrap.
After the show Muggsy Taylor, the boy
manager, issued a den to Benny Leonard
or anybody In tho world at 140 pounds
