&Wi 1 16 EVENING" PTJBEIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1918 T0E CLEVELAND NAVAL RESERVE GRIDIRON WAS A PITT-FALL FOR WARNER'S PANTHERS, 4 T t V &f7T CLAIMS TEAM u; A'.. ' WAS BLACKJACKED - k JVTO i0-0 DEFEA1 Officials in Cleveland Naval Game Said to Have Been Incompetent and Partisan Warner Wants Return Contest With Arbiters Picked by Camp By ROBERT W. MAXWELL Sports Kdllor Krtnlnc I'nlillc Lntirr TT HAPPENED at last. The University of Pittsbursh football team, mon arch of all It surveyed for four seations, tasted tho bitter drees of defeat lu Cleveland Saturday, losing to the Naval Reserves by the narrowest possi ble margin one point. All we have to bo by is the olllclal score, which gives Pitt the short end. Stories of the came are conflicting, but the detail Jilay tell3 the same story. 'Warner's men met a tougher foe than was ex pected, tho Panthers were surprised and before they knew it they had the hardest fight of tho year on their hands. To the victor bclonR the spoils, but tt Is hard to conceive how a team as well coached and proficient as the University of Pittsburgh could be beaten by a couple of teams, let alone one. The officials are blamed for the disaster. The chances are tho men were overconfident and did not take the game seriously. Pitt had easy packings this year, winning from W. and J. by the score of 34 to 0. Penn 3 to 0, Georgia Tech 32 to 0 and Pcnn State 28 to 6. I officiated In all of those games and Pitt outclassed her rivals in every department. She had the gumes won before they started and the contests reverted into practice scrimmages. It l& only natural for college boys to feel proud of themselves and their record on the gridiron, and per haps such was the case In Cleveland. They probably considered it a matter of duty to p out and ttim the Naval Reserves as quickly as possible and then take it easy for tho rest of the afternoon. But the result came as a big surprise In this city. No one would be lieve It at first and Insisted some mistake had been made. "Did the report come in by wireless or carrier pigeon?" nsked Bill Crowell, who umpired the League Island-Charleston game on Franklin Field. "You can't fool me on those bum reports." "Thero's something funny about that game If the scoie Is true," re marked By Dickson. "Something has been put over on Pitt, and see If I am not right." Bob Folwell also had some Ideas to express. "Pitt is too good a team to be licked by a sewlce eleven," he said. "Walt until the story of tho game comes in." noSS K.WFPMAX, one of our scribes and Mult-class ciitlcs, had a different angle to the affair. "Perhaps it is iruc," he said, "and if so, it is because Pitt has been working too hard. Xo team can play three hard games in a week and get aicau with it. Georgia Tech, Mate and Cleveland Xaval Reserves arc enough to ruin any team." Pitt Says Officials Were Incompetent 1AST night we received leports from Pittsburgh, each carrying J he same story. It Is claimed that Pitt was blackjacked out of the 'game, the officials were incompetent and every effort was made to give the game to the Clevelanders. Perhaps this is true and perhaps it isn't. At tany rate, the whole affair looks fishy and has every appearance of the YrolJ-known double cross, which still is practiced even In high-brow circles. Have a look at some of the clippings of the affair from the Sunday papers: fir fltt. was uestineu to aeieai. one And this is not an alibi, but an outcry against the spectacle of a great ltoam basely thugged. "It can be stated that the Pitt the roughest treatment that has ever characterized' a big football game. Pitt, literally, was robbed of victory. The Sailors, most of whom at one Mme played on college teams throughout the country, used every means jLt their disposal to cripple Pitt's stars, and the officials, with one exception pv4 -uernman, oi uenevu anuweu uil- fe nonpartisan spectator after the game. K Mfin.tt ntmrtnra nrlMnnllv sr-hprtnlrnl each, were timed thus: First, 10 minutes; second, 9 minutes 45 seconds; .-third, 10 minutes: fourth, 26 minutes. "There is no person to explain the discrepancy. The second quarter, only 9mtnutes and 45 seconds elapsed time, vas called when the ball was oa the Sailors' 2-foot line, from where it would have been a matter of one plunge by McLaren and Pitt would have registered another touchdown. , Pitt had objected to the officials before the game. She had even declared sh.e would not play, for Cleveland had summoned hither four western men ' to act and had denied Pitt the right to name one. Finally, after the ulti matum by "Warner that there must be but three officials and one of them must be Merriman, of Geneva, this was agreed upon. "R iA.7, of Illinois, the umpire, big game before. Ills work heretofore to refcrcelng high school Last Period Was Ttvejity - k" TTTHERE there is smoKe mere must K. VYgiven to the reports. I happen to Ijl'V' . - . l A ,(n1 n-nH.1 1 ytt'eluseu to accept any uuiumia uuiui-u (j! they wanted men who worked tor neitner team this year. They did the r '-'selecting, and, according to Warner, even went so far as vo notify Slerri rnari, of Geneva, not to report for the game Saturday morning. If it was a cut-and-drled stunt to win the game by any available means the stage ' was all set. There are two things to be considered. First, the officials may have been blameless of any underhanded work. I havo been officiating for the last ten years and never have I seen a dishonest official. I have observed any number of Incompetent men on a football field, but it was lack of knowledge of-the rules which caused them to make mistakes. It will take morethan a newspaper story to convince the public of a referee's dis-' r.fjonesty. . Then we must consider Glenn Warners siue. Warner is a hard man ., to vwork for, but he Is fair. He knows more about the rules than any man .Uvirig, and if he makes a kick It carries some weight. Warner says the period' were shortened at the start and in the fourth 2G minutes were 'piayof He had a timekeeper on the Job who knew his business, and saya the referee ignored him at the end of the scond period when he called time f,(er only 9 minutes and 46 seconds had elapsed. That charge is a serious one, but Warner evidently knows what he is talking about and is taking Ao chances. Still there Is room for a mistake on Warner's part, and let's Iff Hope it will be explained satisfactorily.

To my mind the fault rests entirely with a rTne Panther want to pldy another game next Saturday with the CkieWnfi Naval Heserves, but with different officials. A proposition has btt made, that Walter Camp should select the men to work in the contest and itay It In Pittsburgh or Cleveland.

Classics Increases Interest RED CROSS BENEFITED Cincinnati, Dec. 2. In spite of ex traordinary handicaps, the Kentucky racing searon of 1918, which ended on Thursday, will go down In history as ono of the most remnrknble In tho an ml" of the Kentucky turf. With the war at end, It Is the general opinion that racing Is duo for a great boom next season, nnd the outlook Is particularly bright In this section. Harmony prevails In every quarter, from tho newly appointed State Itaclng Commission, with which horsemen nre well satisfied, right down tho line There Is a belief, bnsed on a knowledge of the views of the Individual members of the commission, that a policy will be car ried out by tho new governing body which still further will strengthen the position of the turf In public istcem. One ot the most notable features of the season just ended was the raising of $300,000 by tho racing and breeding Interests of the State of Kentucky for Red CroBS purposes. This huge fund was completed on the closing day of tho heason, so far as tho share of the racetracks was concerned, nnd it is un derstood that the breeders havo practi cally completed the raising of the (40, 000 which was allotted as their part of tho ambitious undertaking. Of the re mainder, the racetracks at Lexington, Louisville nnd Latonia contributed $160,000 through an assissment on the parl-mutuel sales. The owners of horses that raced In Kentucky during the season contributed 10 per cent of their stnko and purse winnings, which yielded $75,000, as their luota. The balanco of $25,000 came from an nsscs'-ment of 10 per cent of the salaries and pay of odlclals. 103 PLAYERS IN SERVICE National League Has 61 Per Cent of Men With Colors More than one-half of the baseball jlayers who composed the eight clubs of "he National League- for a greater part if the championship season of 1918 ire, or were up to the time the war nded, with tho colors.

Data which John Heydler, acting president of the National League, has Just finished gath ering show that 103 of Its playeis were In the service. This Is entirely apart rom those who went into essential work. The total number of players reserved 'or the season of 1918 was 257, which number. Incidentally, has been reduced to 188 for 1919. From May 15 to the end of the 1918 season the eight Na lonnl Liague clubs carried' Jin avenge of from 150 to 160 playirs.

But between the two flare ups By Dickson's eleven had everything Its own way. Beit Ycabsley, former Ewlng player, was the star of the whole League Island team. He was In every play on the de fense nnd on the offense when -he wasn't plough'ng through the lino or runnmg off tackle he was knocking down a rival to clear the way for the man with the ball. ? Cornog Improves Simmer also played a. bang-up game. As a combination Than, one who punts, throws forward passes and runs with the ball, Simmer Is a complete success. Pearce, at quarterback, was a sensation it running back punts and directing tho play of the team. Haehl gained a lot of ground, but he' failed to get Into tho Interference as he should. AUIe Cornog iroke Into the contest In the fourth pe riod nnd played the best football he haiT shown this season. nemen, Lieutenant Newcomb played the best game, although all tha r vards "hoiked well. It was like ram ming tho well-known stone wall to try to break through the League Island line, lludd. who usually plays the most flashy football, was not as sensational as In other games, but he did his work In a verv effec'lvo manner. For power of defense and diversity bf attack Dickson's eleven looked like the best thatvhas played on Franklin Field this year. - Chester Bouts Tomorrow Night Chester, l'n Dee. 2.
