NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—The Army mule reared up and with it* hind leg* to-day kicked the Naw goal to amltherven* When the emoke of battle cleared the final score showed that the Army had de feated the Navy r by a acore of 22 to*9 ! The Army team swept the much vaunted Navy eleven off its feet, out- ; playing: it in every department of the frame The Navy put up a game fight, and fought ferocioualy In the laat quarter, but tha cadets were not to be denied. It was the first time since 190* tha* the Army had triumphed over the Navy The most spectacular play of the game occurred In the third period when Captain Hogue, of the Army cieven, raced down the field 65 yards and brought the ball to within 5 yards of the Navy's goal Two -mashes through the center gave the Army Its second touchdown of ttie game. The middles tried line smashing and made some gains but at the crucial moment the Army line held and *he middles were forced to kick. The atar In the middies’ line-up 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 ing like Indians. There they hoisted he Army colors and waved aloft the urea showing the Army’s score for :u* game. In that vast assemblage there was nlv one non-partisan rooter. He was ''resident Wilson. As Commander-in «’hief of the Army and Navy he ould root for neither side, no mat ter what his personal feeling may save been During the first half, the President sat on ihe Army side and rooted for lie cadets. Then to even up mat ters. he went over to the seadogs during the last half of the game Yankees Would Bid High for Joe Tinker N’KW YORK.

' CONLEY BEAT9 McQOVIRN A e!r nn* • M ° • Nov W-—fr'V*' jV Conley defeated Bennie ij' *rn n.n last night iu their ten-T ^ woe k fight ail ’ha By Sam Crane. 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. One of Cravat«ig 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. By A. II. €. Mitchell. 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.” * • • \ MANAGER EVERS, of the Chi- 1VI rago Cubs, Is planning an early start for his team next sea son. He will leave Chicago for Tampa, Fla., the training camp, on February' 6. All the recruits will accompany him on that date, and the regulars will follow two weeks later. • • • T OMMY LEACH, the veteran outfielder, sets too high a price on his services to suit the Fed eral League, and will stick to or ganized baseball. 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.

While there is no definite information on the subject, it Is rumored that the 1 opening of the aforementioned bullfight ing school has something to do with Charlie Murphy’s visit to Europe With a salary of $25,000 a year, it is j estimated that Governor Tener will al most be able to buy a dozen eggs once ( per week. Fourteen football players were killed j this season, whereas only thirteen met their demise last year. Our leading un dertakers consider it a successful year. Experts tell us that too much praise hurts a ball player, but we never have heard of a ball player kicking about It. THE MODERN STUDENT.

I Collins Turns Down Big Offer From Feds PHILADELPHIA. PA.. Nov. 29. Ed die Collins, second baseman of the champion Athletics, turned down yes terday an offer of $50,000 to play on one of the Federal League clubs for three vears. According to articles of the con tract, which Collins did not sign, he was to receive a salary' of $15,000 a year on a three-year contract. As a guaran tee the money was to be placed In any hank which Collins might designate, hearing interest, which at the end of three years would amount to something over $50,000 in real money.
