The waiter paused to mark something on one of Daro

"Jack's in there," he continued. "Take a look through

A voice watted iii.oujm it.c crack in the door. It was
a voice which was used to giving orders, for there was an
assertive note in every word.
"Yes, I'll fight this Frenchman nny time and any

He waved away a cloud of cigarette Miioke with a lavender

a red Silk handkerchief peered out of a pocket under the

The speaker straightened up in his chair, crossd one

Eli Hopes for Best in Came at
New Haven Today With
Strong Mountaineers
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 23. Al
though Yale W not prepared to give tho
fast-flying West Virginia eleven ns
energetic a football reception today as
Eli rooters would like to assure the
Mountaineers, tho game will rank high
In interest nmong the Xew England
headllncrs of the gridiron contests of
the year. Indications are that the at
tendance of .'.".000 recorded at last Sat
tirday'H Ynlo- Boston college match will
be eclipsed.
The strength of the West Virginians
is clearly established, their victories of
last season over I'rinreton and Wash
ington and Jefferson and their clean
loto this year, except for n remarkably
closo game with I'itt, stamping them
as one of the strongest teams to play
In the Bowl. Yale is reconciled to the
logic of impending defeat, but believes
that the plajing form of Its men will
be a higher quality of football than was
shown last Saturday against the Bos
tbnlans. The. probnbln line-up, admitted by
the .coaches today, is as follows: Left
end, bhpvlin ; left tafklo, Dickons; Inft
guard, Into; center, Galvin; right
guard, Herr; right tarklo. Walker;

Central Starts City-Title Series
With Victory Over
Frankford
Central High School, city high school
football champions last year, started
their march to another Glmbel Cup vic
tory when thev defeated Frankford High
nt Houston Field yesterday. Frankford
deserves nil kinds of praise for putting
up a do-or-die fight. The visiting team
prevented many gains which would have
given Central nn opportunity to run up
n large t.core
In the first period Frankford showed
grit when they held Ccntrnl High near
the goal line on three occasions. The
pigskin wns inside the Dj-vard line tho
entire time. Central's fumbles were
costly. Herb ebster. the center,
nlnveri his nsnnl snnnnv frnnin nml
t.cored ono of the touchtfowns ns well ns
Kicking a goal from touchdown.
Webster missed his first goal from
touchdown in thirteen attempts yester
day, marring his record. Central's
haekfield wns not working well. Wells,
who sprained his ankle in practice, wns
on the side lines, nnd he was verv much
missed. Ciltlcs pick Central High to
win the Glmbel Cup championship for
the third time and think Doe O'Brien's
proteges will annex tho cup perma
nently. Catholic Leajnio Surprises
St. Joseph's 0 to 0 victory over VII
lanova Preps did not cause ns much
surprise as the 0 to 0 deadlock staged
by La Snlle nnd Wet Catholic. St.
Joe won becnuse Rreclln got nway with
n fi."-jnrd run right when piny started
and then went over the lln for a
touchdown. That eemed to put more
pep in the Main Line team, and the
scoring ended right there, hut it was
all St. Joe needed to win the game.
Tho La Salle-West Cntholle High
game was u rather lluke affair, and hd
either team ixrn fnorcd with the
breaks, there would hnve been a differ
ent story. Costly fumbles mnrred the
rnme. it was La Salle's chance in the
first quarter, but they failed. It wns
West Catholic's chance in the laBt
quarter, but fumbling helped Ln Salle
to keep tho West Philadelphians away
from tho goal.
Cliellcnlrani High Is Victor
Cheltenham High won considerable
glory by defenting Swnrthmore High.
20 to 14. Swartlunore has it good
team, but the youngsters were unabie to
stop tho I'Jimiis rant players, espe
cially Scott. Blessing nnd Stoker.

school still has considerab'e material
in spite of the loss of w hetstnup and
Johnson hnd much to do with the vic
tory. Ilaverford ncd lather listless
football. Perhaps the hot weather
slowed them down. Tho football players
thotieht it was summer, with th" mer
cury recording the hottest October 22
on record.
Captain Stiitzcll Wlni Game
Hnrlan Statzell, captain of the Tenn
Charter School football tiam, was n
real leader in the St. I.nko's game. It
was hia goal from touchdown which
gave Penii Charter n 21 to 20 victory
over tha Wayne players. Stntzoll's
touchdown in the final quarter tied the
score his goal won the gome.
Penn Chnrter started off well, lend
ing with 14 points- at the end of vm
half. Just what happened to St. Luke's
in that third quarter Is hard to ex
plnln. They didn't miss n single
chance and soon hod 2(1 points rolled
up with everything blue for the visitors.
Tho Quakers were equal to tho test,
for it forward to-sed by Quarterback
Itiday to Stotzell resulted In tho points
which gnvo tho Yellow and Blue vic
tory. Northeast High must improve or the
Glmbel Cup team will be out of the
running so far as city (hnmplonshlp
honors aro concerned. Camden High
has a good team mm deserved thn 1 1
to 7 victory ncoicd over Northeast,
but followers of tho high school eleven
wonder what chance Northeast hns
against Ccntrnl High and the other
teams if such upsets tire happnlug.
For there is no question that u Com
dun High victory oer Noithcast is not
n usunl occurence.
Gcrmnntown Academy's victory over
Chestnut Hill wns well earned. Brad

Exhibition Match Planned for New Jersey "JBngs" to Watch
Premier Golf Stars Wootton-Platt Match has
Difficult Ending
By SANDY
Atlantic City. N. J., Oct. 23.
Tom Armour, French champion, nnd
J. Wood Plntt, Philadelphia champion,
nro scheduled to play In nn exhibition
match over tho courso of tho Woodbury
Country Club tomorrow nftcrnoon, nnd
If tho hastily planned arrangements do
not fall through, tho Now Jersey fans
nro in for n treat.
Both these premier amateur stars are
an attraction wherever thev piny. Ar
mour is n powerful. long driver nnd an
export with the iron shots. He hns n
line style nt this lattor plav nnd mnny
a lesson has been gathered from watch
ing him in action through the "prettv."
Piatt's personality and stylo of play
always draws admirers of his gatno.
Not only is bo the quickest .piajcr,
probably, in tho country among nma
teurs. but tho shots get there nnd ho is
a 'pretty shotmnker to watch.
His work on the greens is particu
larly fascinating. Watching this
blond-haired North Hills star step up
to them and one, two, three; click,
down, is a lesson particularly to those
prone to nnuio nnd fuss eternally over
a putt.
Details Await
Woodbury officials telegraphed tho
two stars Inviting them to play tomor
row. They ncecptcd. but nothing has
been learned of further details of the
match. It is not known whether it Is
to bo n foursome or two-ball mntch.
but the latter would afford spectacle
enough.
They met in the Nassau tourney
finnls. where Tlntt won on tho nine
teenth hole of a fine match.
Despite tho fact that Armour likes
tho Atlantic Citv course tho host of
anv he has played In this country, ho
said, he was unnblo to get going very
wen In tho present tourney.
Tho Scotchman scored a fair 81 to
qualify and was beaten in tho first
round by C. L. Maxwell. Trenton,
though neither nlnved exceptional golf.
Piatt's golf during the first part of
the tournev here was a revelation to
mnny of just how good ho is. He
started off Into in tho afternoon the first
day to qualify, playing with a golfer
of ninety-six caliber.
Tears Around
The pair fairly "tore around," fin
ishing in nn hour and forty-seven min
utes, so ns not to hold up tho drawings
for match piny.
Yet Piatt broke the record of tho
course with n seventy-four, just hang
ing ou the lip of the cup with his Inst
putt for a seventy-three. He wns only
off the course twice, and ns neither sho't
hurt him It could not be rcallv snld thnt
he missed a shot, except that lie took
three putts ou four greens. It wns his
fourth medal of the year, which does
not include winning the seventy-two-hole
Merlon medal tourney.
Agninst Horace Smeilley, Merlon,
yesterday morning. Plntt played superh
golf, setting another record when he
turned the Ilrst nine in thirty-four
strokes, ono under par, though it was
match play. He failed to hole out short
putts on two holes, otherwise every shot
wns played,
Smedley mlssrd few shots nt that. On
the first he found a bad lie nn hiH drive
nnd topped n ball, which cost hi in the
hole, when Plntt played an Iron so
straight on the line that it appeared he
had holed out. He narrowly missed a
putt for it bird. On the next he was
again on the green for n bird. Smedley
was off, but spun a short pitch to the
hazardous stretch of green narrowly
separating the pin from a trap for a
sure three. But Piatt ran down a putt
for a two.
"Have a heart," laughed the Merlon
vcternn.
Smedley looked a winner on tho sev
enth when he was much closer the pin
ln two than Piatt, but tho Philadel-

nhla champion spoiled the data again
by running down his putt for a bird
and then, as generally happens in such
cases, the other player missed tho
shorter try.
This is ono of the most successful
tourneys Atlantic City has had nt this
time of year for the reason that it
generally rains. In fact, this is such
n common occcurrcucc thnt the tourney
has come to be called the "rain-fall"
territory instead of the "annual fall"
tournament.
The convention of tho Wntcrpower
Association of America, invariable
brlnger of rain, is being held, nnd per
haps tho coincidence of the tourney nnd
the convention, both rain-getters, drove
Jupe Pluvc to hiding. The course is
in splendid shape for this tlmo of year.
Tho star finish yesterday which en
grossed nil tho fans of tho gallery wns
when Tom Wootton nnd Plntt came to
the eighteenth in the afternoon nil
square. Piatt ovcrcarrled tho green
with a long iron nud then Wootton wns
oven longer. His ball lodged in some
stuiiDio not six inches from tho porch
steps. He had to turn his back to
the hole and bang the ball against the
step. It caromed out short of the
green, but Piatt barely chipped inside
tho green.

Yale Faces Tough Proposition Today, While Mighty
Harvard Has Five Texans Besides Six Other
Center Men to Stop
By GKANTLAND RICE
BEYOND TUB F00
Sometime) I wonder how the light can
break
Through all the fog and shadow out the
icay;
Eometlmca I tconicr if at daicn VU
icaUe
To find night' darkness lasting through
the dtiy,
Until I think of all the friends I've
known
And all their kindliness in days gono by,
And when I look again the fogs have
flown
Beyond the hills that meet a clean, blue
sky.
Sometimes I wonder how the world can
stand
Tho constant trouble that besets each
state;
The vast unrest that sweeps across the
land
And leaves its trail of bitterness and
hate,
Until, as one who marks a flamlno fire.
J see long lines still ready for the blow,
Facing the terror of the matted wire
To hear the call ring out again: "Let's
go."
Tho Day After
PERUSING tho Sunday morning
sporting ensemble, how mnny foot
ball names will still remain among the
unbeaten?
In the East tho list still includes,
nmong others, Harvard, Princeton,
Pennsylvania, Penn State, Pittsburgh,
Syracuse, W. nnd J.,' Georgctbwn, Co
lumbia, Brown, Cornell and Bostou
College.
Ynlo and tho Nnvy have been nicked.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse hnve been
tied. And few of the others have yet
faced n hard test.
Yale drew her big test last Saturday.
Harvard and Princeton fnco opponents
today that arc well capable of render
ing serious opposition. Pittsburgh hns
beaten West Virginia nnd Penn State
has stopped Dartmouth. Penn, Colum
bia, Brown and Cornell havo yet to
meet any robust opposition.
Yalo vs. West Virginia
A CONSIDERABLE amount of space
has been awarded Center's Invasion
of Harvard. But it is no certainty that
Ynlo Is In for any light afternoon
work-out.
West Virginia looked seedy against
Pittsburgh; but West Virginia looked
worso against Pittsburgh Inst fall and
then bent Princeton 2." to 0. There is
n considerable amount of speed nud
power in the West Virginia line-up,
and if it happens to get under head
way Yalo will need nil she has to win,
especially if n citizen by tho name of
Carl Heck happens to wander adrift.
Tho Bull Dog is being sent over nil
tho high hurdles there arc in these Oc
tober tests with little time left for a
breathing spell.
Out of Bounds
TOMMY ARMOUR, the Scotch golfer
now in this country, went up to
sec "Babo Ruth play in one of the
closing games of tho season, wherein
the "Bnbc" lifted one over tho fence
in the first Inning.
"How did Ruth look 'to you?" Fome
ono asked Armour on tho way hack
from hl.s first game.
"Fine," he remarked, "after the
start."
"What's tho matter with his start?"
was the query.
"Didn't you see It?" asked Armour.
"Ho put his first one out of bounds."
HARVARD stopped one Texan last
Saturday in Benny Boynton. But
on this Saturday sho has five Texnns
to stop, headed by Bo McMillan.

O FAR as we can make out from
tho vnrlous testimonies presented nt
Chicago, something seems to havo been

EXPECT HARD BATTLE
Thomas A. C. Makes First Appear
anoo Here Against Bridesburg
The Thomas A. C, of Bethlehem,
tho team thnt held tho Conshohocken
cloven to 14 points Inst Saturday, will
play tho Bridesburg eleven Sunday
afternoon nt Richmond nnd Orthodox
streets. The locals expect to make a
good showing against tho visitors, nml
a hnrd game Is looked for. According
to soveral of tho Conshohocken stars
tho gamo with Thomas was the hardrst
they had ever played in all their grid
iron experience.
Bridesburg is coming along in great
shnpo and with the addition of a num
ber of noted players bids fair to have s
say in regard to the city and state
championship. They will havo in the
line-up such well-known players as
Mellow, Shlrar and Slmondet, besides
Phil Barry, of State, who Is also with
Conshohocken ; Beckett, of the PJioonlx
ville All-Amcrienns, nnd Ray Miller,
last year with Penn.
