made some gains but at the crucial
moment the Army line held and *he

was Brown and his toe. Three times
he right guard booted the hall and
three times he sailed it over the ca
dets' goal.
Immediately after the game the 650
West Point cadets formed a circle
around the playing field. lifted their
raps, let looee a wild cheer and then
rushed to the center of the field yell

N riSW YORK. Nov. 29— If Mike
Donlln shows any symptoms
of coming bark into big league
form while on the world tour with
the Giants, the chances are that he
will get a berth in the big league
next season as a pinch hitter. Since
liarrv McCormick has nooepted the
Job as manager of the Chattanooga
club, it would not be surprising if Mo-
Graw himself put Mike on the pay
roll. They will have to go a long
way before finding a man who can
wallop the ball like Donlln. His legs
may have slowed up. but he still has
the eye.
The fad that the Brooklyn team has
just released Fred Walker, a pitcher,
to the minors Is likely to give Wilbert
Robinson n pang of regret when he
realizes the identity of the man
turned loose immediately prior to his
taking charge of the Buperbas Many
good laughs will be missing.
There may be better pitchers than
Walker, but there is no one with a
more unique career and one that Rob.
by knows by heart. The chances are
that hr* didn’t realize that Walker was
one of his men when he had the flrsi
talk with Mr Ebbets.
Walker a Former Giant.
Walker was with the Giants three
or four years ago, and when he was
let go to keep from swelling the iw \
roll in the fall this remarkable young
fellow headed for the Pacific Coast
and had that end of the country spin
ning on Us tar for more than a
month. Going into the California
League, he introduced himself to a
manager as "Mysterious Mitchell,”
and declined to say anything more
about his record or himself.
All 1 want is i chance to pitch,”
be said, "and if I don't make good
you owe me nothing."
The manager took a chance, and on
Mysterious Mitem U s first appear
ance at < >akland he cleaned up with
ease The newspapers tried in vain
to get a story about him and dozens
of photographers were put on the
trail for photographs. The mysteri
ous pitcher kept to his room, how
ever. refused to see anyone, and went
to the park to a closed cab. While
!n the cab he even went so far as to
wear a mask over his eyes. There
was absolutely no trace of his record,
and by winning a second and third
game he became the sensation of the
Coast and drew t’ usands of dollars
into the box office
"Mysterious Mitchell" was getting
on by luck, it afterward developed. f« r
on his fifth appearance he was
knocked out of the -ox. After that
they beat him two or three times in
succession, and the mysterious won- j
der went up in smoke. He had to give I
out his real name.

Allis Recovers
From Golf
Slump
Milwaukeean Who Took the Title
From Evans Is Playing in
Form at Harvard.
SPORTING SIDELIGHTS
By Chick Evans.
\ SHORT time ago I received an
interesting letter from Louis
X Allis, of Milwaukee Mr. Al
lis, in addition to many high quali
ties of his own. is the father of the
sensational "Ned," who simply rip
ped things up during the Western
this year, and, after making a 311-
yard hole In one in the qualifying
round, snatched away my title with
an ease and nonchalance that fairly
deprived me of breath.
After defeating the Western cham
pion. who happened to be Charles
Evans. Jr., and an ex-national cham
pion. who happened to be Robert A.
Gardner, he succumbed in the finals to
Warren Wood. We had all concluded
that after the exhibition he had been
giving us his golf in the nature of
things must wear out a little by the
end of the tournament, and as War
ren Wood "as in fine condition the
result was as stated.
We were surprised, however, to find
the slump continuing throughout the
summer, for after his phenomena'
progress through the Western he guf-
tered defeat everywhere.
He lost the Wisconsin champion
ship. which had become almost an Al
lis monopoly; was beaten at I^ake
Geneva, and his game generally went
i ff We all realized that something
had happened, and we feared that he
was overdoing it. Now we know
that he was as thoroughly overgolfed
as a man could well be. He was so
crazy about playing that he went
forth upon the links and did his 86
holes day in and day out. until the
edge* wore off. He finally realized his
mistake and took a rest.
Now. back at Harvard, he is hitting
them farther and straighter off the
tee than ever before, and. believe me,
that is going some. 1 am also sur
prised to learn, after my experience
last summer, that his only weak spot
is on the green. When I made E. P.
Allis’ acquaintance in the third round
of the 1913 Western he was holing
everything from a distance of 20, 30
and 40 yards, and it was enough to
make one dltzy to see him do it. And.
indeed, a mathematician has com
puted that he took but one‘putt on
eight out of the fifteen greens in an
afternoon match.
at Mysterious Mitchell." He found
him to be none other than Fred
Walker, the hoy who had traveled
with the New York team.
Walker is ns strong as an ox, and.
on several occasions, when the mem
bers of McGratv’s team tried to wrt»-
tle with him. they were tossed about
like babies. On one occasion a hotel
port* r got fresh w .ho newcomer
and was knocked dow n the steps. Oth.
ers came to the rescue, but Walker,
alias "Mysterious Mitchell," beat f he
whol* crowd.

r~pxHE National League lost
j prestige year after year be
cause of stinginess and
small-mindedness. This policy
made the fortune of the Ameri
can League. At last the National
League magnates seem to have
awakened, and in the selection of
Governor Tener for president
there is a promising outlook for
the under dog of the big leagues.
From the time that Governor Te
ner takes hold it is expected that
National League affairs will be
conducted in a broad and liberal
spirit.
• « •
B UT it took a newcomer in Na
tional League councils to sug
gest the getting of a big man for
president of the organization. Mr.
Baker, president of the Philadel
phia club, had only been at the
head of his club a few months
when he set about getting the
consent of the other club owners
to elect Governor Tener to the
presidency of the league. If the
happy thought had not occurred
to Mr, Baker, the chances are
that there would have been an
other unseemly row at the an
nual meeting of the league next
month, and some such an inexpe
rienced man as Robert Brown, of
Louisville, chosen to head the
league. The opinion prevails that
if such a man as Mr. Brown had
been selected the old league
would have continued to be a
joke as far as the conduct of its
affairs is concerned.
\ VERY good law recently pro-
** mulgated by the National
Commission is that all players
eligible to compete in the World’s
Series shall share and share alike.
This will put an end to the petty
squabbles that have arisen over
the division of the players' share.
Heretofore the "regulars" of the
two teams have settled the ques
tion to suit themselves. After the
last series l^arry McLean, w ho
caught in four of the five games,
received only 1500 as his share of
the spoils. The regulars of the
team received more than $2,000
each.
The new rule will hit the Giants
hard if they get into another
World’s Series. The regulars on
McGraw’s team have never been
oxer-generous to their second-
string men, and the subs arid ex
tra pitchers never knew where
they were at until they were
handed their little bit when the
money was divided.

H ARNEY PELTY. the old ma
jor league pitcher, has a young
tiinger under his wing whom Bar
ney is trying to land with some
major league club. The young
ster is Albert G. Murphy, and in
Western Missouri he is known far
and w ide as "the pitcher with the
wooden leg.”
Murphy truly has a leg which
formerly was part of a tree, but
Pelty says that should not be
held against him. In fact, Barney
says the wooden leg Is a help in
stead of a hindrance. Instead of
ducking the hot drives. Murphy
lets them hit his w r ooden shin
and throws the batter out at first.
Pelty also says that the wooden
leg does not hamper Murphy’s
speed on the paths. ‘Til bet this
kid Murphy can beat three-quar
ters of the big league pitchers in
a foot race,” said Barney, "even
though you don’t have to be able
to hit or run to be a successful
pitcher.”

Conference Elevens
Will Try Numbering
Of Men Next Year
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—The spectators
who view the Western Conference foot
ball games were given some consider
ation by the directors, coaches and man
agers at their fall meeting, at the Au
ditorium yesterday, when it was agreed
that each player should be numbered In
the first two 1914 gridiron battles. This
system, used by Chicago in the final
game of the season, will aid the fans In
knowing just who Is on the field.
Because the suggestion to number the
players was not unanimous—a something
necessary to carry a point—the plan
will be tried in ihe opening two games,
but should it prove satisfactory it will
be made a regvla r thing.
Eight of the representatives of the
"Big Nine” accented Coach Rtagg’s sug
gestion on numue r s, A. J. McBean, of
Minnesota, and representing Coach Wil
liams' team, failing to see the argument.
The season of 1914. the officials declared,
will make a big gain in public know
ledge of the game because of the move
to make the gridiron puzzles intelligi
ble to those who furnish the gate fees.
