W. Heisman. HAT the public Interest in foot ball has been awakened In At lanta this season as never be fore was indicated again by the very fine crowd that gathered at Fort Mc Pherson yesterday afternoon to see the game between Lieutenant De vore’s Seventeenth Infantry team and Captain Cromers Eleventh Cavalry stalwarts from Chattanooga, which was won by the locals. Ifi to 7. A detail of the Army-Navy game was being received by special wire and given out by megaphone to the large gathering, and as Army was winning in unexpected fashion the folks at the fort were happy all af ternoon. Lining up for the local battle it was noticed that the Seventeenth line was a bit heavier than that of the Eleventh, while the backfleld looked to be about evenly balanced. The best of feeling prevailed throughout the entire contest, and even as an official close in to the playing at all times it was quite impossible for me to detect anything unsportsmanlike In the playing of a single man on either team. For that matter there was exceedingly little off-side play or foul interference, either. The Seventeenth kicked off to the Eleventh, and after a few fair gains on line bucks the Eleventh cut loose with a forward pass that was but the forerunner of a great many that were to be not only attempted but successfully completed as well by both teams during the course of the game. This pass was from Dezen- dorf to Left End Tingle and was for 15 yards. A moment later the whole blamed thing was duplicated except that this time it went for 35 yards and a touchdown. Jones kicked a goal for the Eleventh and the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of the visitors. Passes Worried Infantry. Those passes worried the ho vs from the Seventeenth quite a bit. but t'ne score didn’t, and they went back to work with the willingness of a bunch ! of strikers that have got their de mands after being out about six months. They put their line to work and Swartz, Bradberry and Moore I began bucking like their own Army Mule. The wav they catapulted into j the Eleventh line was something to I make one gasp. Directly, though, the Eleventh drew in their tackles, their line stiffened, and the Seventeenth ! found the going rapidly slackening. Then, at just the psychological mo- i ment. Swartz shot a 30-yard forward pass to Mahoney and the ball he- ' longed to the Seventeenth on the Eleventh’s 10-yard line. From here Bradberry, bv a fine ram of it, crowd ed it over for a touchdown in the extreme corner of the field The punt-out went a bit too far and thev i lost their chance at a try for goal, leaving the score 7 to 6, still In favor of the Eleventh. It was not long after this that the Seventeenth found itself again in possession of the ball on the Elev enth’s 30-yard line. Being last down and directly in front of the goal posts they decided to try a place kick for goal. Going back another eight yards, Bingle got ready, called for the ball, and, with Swartz holding the pigskin, he cut the crossbar squarely in two. It was a beautiful goal, and it showed that Coach Devore had groomed his men very carefully for just such an opportunity. The score now stood 9 to 7 in favor of the Seventeenth, and the visitors were not now enjoying the afternoon as heartily as a few moments before. Played Army Football. Both teams were using substantial ly the same kind of formations and system of play—essentially West Point football—and they gave a good exemplification of it. Either team could gain with the ball, and both were exceptionally clever in their use of the forward pass. In fact, in this department of play the two teams were quite as expert as any college* team I have yet seen play, if not a shade more so. The passes were oft en very long and hurled with deadly accuracy; and at the receiving end they were usually coupled up by on end or back with thrilling catches. Some of them were hair-raising. It needs to be said, though, that the sidebacks of either team were as clever in defending against the passes as college men usually are. The ball see-sawed back and forth for most of the* second half, with both sides threatening to get away every minute. Once the Eleventh got close enough to make a mighty good try at goal, but the ball struck one of the goal uprights and bounded back Into the field of play. Another time they had the ball about on the Fort’s 15- yard line, and Dezendorf, who had been playing great ball for the Elev enth all afternoon, took the ball to make a forward pass. Falling to find a receiver anywhere in the clear, he tucked the ball under his arm and went around the other end with it himself for a neat gain of 10 yards, which took it to the Fort’s 5-yard line. But a lineman for the Eleventh was caught holding—the only time one of their eleven indulged in this pastime all afternoon, so far as I could see—and they were set back 16 yards. Then came a fumble, which the Seventeenth secured, and things began to swing toward the opposite point of the compass. This was 'ho best and lapt chance the Eleventh had, but they continued to fight as val iantly as though perfectly sure of ul timate victory. Make Swell Forward Pass. The final score for the Seventeenth came within a few moments of the end. Thev had the ball on the Noo- gans’ 20-yard line, and lacked but about half a yard to make it first down. Instead of ramming it, how ever, they went back for another place kick try for goal. Everything being made ready, the ball was snapped to the kneeling Bradberry, who bluffed to place it on the ground for the kick, but who instead flipped it up to Schwartz, who made % forward pass of it for about 25 yards to Arcan, who fell with It just across the goal line as two Cavalrymen tackled him. Goal was kicked and the score of 16 to 7 in favor of the Infantrymen was held throughout the remainder of the contest. Considering that they were some what outweighed the Eleventh put up a most creditable game of ball, while the Seventeenth must be given cred it for coming back strong after be ing first scored on. Both teams punted and handled punts clean, and their line charging was excellent. Neither team played with the fierceness that characterizes the work of college players, nor were they up to collegemen in the effec tiveness of their interference. Still it was good football, and the best of it was that It was played in a good, clean, wholesome way, on which both are to be warmly congratulated. For the Eleventh Dezendorf and Captain Ryan were perhaps the best performers, while Arcan, Swaxtz, Bln- gle and Lipke did yeoman service for the Seventeenth. Mention Should also be made of an open formation used now and then by the Seventeenth with great suc cess. Their game against the All- Star team is sure to be one worth going some few blocks to witness The line-up and summary: Infantry. Cavalry. Llpe c. Meyers Sakowskl, Star* n a. McDonald Stock, L*.

BRAINERD, MINN., Nov. 29.—After deliberating less than ten minutes, a Coroner's Jury last night exonerated Leslie Rush, the Philadelphia Ameri can league pitcher, from all blame in connection with the death of Louis T.

The three directors, plus Manager Bill Smith, professed themselves well pleased with.

On one occasion a terrible accident was avoided by Chappie when his front tire burst in a two-mile record trial at Philadel phia last summer. The front tire blew as Chappie was entering on his sec ond lap of the first mile.

To encounter his presence on a motorcycle race track you meet the practical type of the happy-go-lucky daredevil, ready for anything that will lead to excitement, be it ever so dangerous or rough.

The auburn-haired youth who rode Into the jaw’s of death was Sunny Briggs, who will be remem bered by many of the old fans in the early days of the sport. Chappie fell with Briggs, and he was badly In jured. but managed to escape death, however. * * * C HAPPLE next wandered down to the Florida sands, in company with Bob Stubbs, the famous Bir mingham speed artist. For three days they shattered world’s records and the final score gave Chappie credit for new’ figures for ten and tw’enty miles. Stubbs had hung tenaciously to the one-mile record. Chappie's scars bear proof of the many serious encounters with the outside fence.
