Skids to 14 to 0 Victory on Wet Field Musketeers Defeat Statesboro Eleven to Begin Schedule BY WILL RILEY. Coach Carson's Musketeers skid ded over a wet field to an easy victory over the Statesboro Aggies Saturday afternoon at Warren Park, the score at the final whistle showing 14 to 0, with the edge to Richmond. While it was clearly evident from the first that the Academy boys had their opponents outclassed, there was no time during the first quarter when the game could have been considered sewed up. Rich* mond scored their first points in the first two minutes of play, when Statesboro’s team had their backs to the wall up against their own goal line, the ball in their posses sion. Signalling for a punt. Woods prepared for a punt, but the cen ter’s pass went wild and Richmond scored a safety. Six more points fell to the Mus keteers in the third quarter, when after a series of desperate line plunges, several costly fumbles by Statesboro and the recovery of a blocked punt by Richmond on Statesboro's 20-yard line. On Statesboro’s 2-yard line, Stelling attempted to carry the ball over, but fumbled while running under the bar. However, Powell, Richmond's flashy right half, was on the ball in an instant for the first touch down of the game. The game rocked along in see saw fashion, with a very slight shade in favor of the soldier boys, until about the middle of the fourth period. Richmond lost the ball on downs on Statesboro's 1-yard line. On an attempted punt by States boro's back, Captain Pund blocked the ball and recovered, touching down for the final scoring. The Richmond boys appeared to be somewhat off on toe work, due, no doubt, to the heavj r , slippery ball. Out of two re-trles for goal, they failed to score points from this source. AN EXHIBITION OF OLD STYLE WORK. The game ns a whole, was a strik ing exhibition of the old-style of football, the aerial game being out of the question with the drizzling rain and soaking turf. The only forward pass attempted during the entire game was Injected by States boro, when Quarterback Anderson passed to Woods, left half. Woods was thrown for a 3-yard loss. Line bucks and plunges were the rule, brain giving way to brawn when science couldn’t count for much with such an elusive ball. Both lines held well, and it was only by clever running around ends of the backs that netted any material gains for either side. Richmond’s interference excelled that of the Aggies, this probably accounting for the win in a large measure. Musketeer backs, however, also did some beautiful broken field run ning. Stelling, Schneider, Powell and Glllman topping Richmond's list of ground-gainers. Savitz, Hudson and Murphey nlso earned laurels for their brilliant work on the ends. Captain Pund and guards and tackles held the line like a stone wall and kept many Richmond plays Intact by holding the enemy off. Anderson, Rogers, Wall, Camp bell, Lewis and Donahoo carried the bulk of the burden for Statesboro. Had the Aggies’ line been a little stronger, the backfield could have shown up to much better advan tage. Anderson, at quarter, play ed a brilliant game, while Captain Wall and Donehoo, on the ends, fought like lions for the full play ing time of tho game. Statesboro has a game bunch of fighters, con testing every inch of ground gained by Richmond, and a little season ing will put them among the best prep-school teams of the state. Richmond supporters are highly elated over the showing made by Coach Carson’s proteges and are freely predicting the best football year the Academy has ever known. Notwithstanding the steady driz zle of rain falling during the en tire period of play, a crowd esti mated at nearly 1,000 witnessed the game. THE GAME IN DETAIL. First Quarter.

August Belmont’s brilliant three--year-old, by Fair Play- Lading, ridden by Clarence Kummer, Saturday won the se cond international special at a mile before a crowd of 40,- 000. The time was 1:36 2-5 and the value to winner $28,- 750. Epinard, continental cham pion, again finished second, this time by a nose and com ing fast, a length ahead of Wise Counselor, Kentucky colt, which conquered the French crack by a narrow margin on Labor Day in the first special at six furlongs. Lost in the glamour of the contest among the three lead ers was a struggle between Zev and My Own, high lights of last year, but dim Satur day. Two lengths behind Wise Counsellor, Zev finished fourth, only a nose beyond his rival. ILttle Chief, the only other starter, trailed the field three lengths. “BILL” STONE To Call Series Returns at Masonic Temple PHI (Third Inning) Stone, caller de luxe, has been nominated and elected for the office of official cryer for the world series returns to be staged at the Masonic Temple beginning r.ext Saturday.

First Class Hair Cut Hotel Richmond Barber Shop, SPORT CHIMES i By EARL “LIBERTY” BELL Reports are current that Green ville may not have a team in the Sally League next season. It is said that President Qrnham does not care to shoulder the responsibility unless a belter playing field is provided. Greenville Is a good baseball town, and it is hoped that the Spinners will continue on the job. Ashovllle cut down a mountain to lay out n good field, and Greenville should be able to make some sort of satis factory arrangement in tho prem ises. If Greenville does fall out. how ever, it will not disrupt the league. It is understood that Columbia would gladly Jump at the berth. < And Zinn Beck, who has been playing baseball since the memory of man runneth net, etc., probably will manage the Spinners again If they stay in the circuit. Marvin Wolfe, president of the Augusta club, is taking a rest from baseball prior to warming up for next season’s activities, and the same is true of Johnny Nee, the peerless pilot. Though Nee has had several tempting offers as a result of piloting Augusta to the pennant, there is still a chance of his returning next year. The job is certainly his if ho wants it. Nee is spending the winter at St. Peters burg, Fla. It is estimated that a crowd of 15,000 will attend the Georgia-Fur dan grid classic hero on October 18th. All roads will lead to Au gusta on that day. Augusta should have at least one big football game each year, and the building of an up-to-date stadium would be one of the best ways to make this come true.

Troy Agnew's Okmulgee team won the Western Association pen nant this year, taking both halves. The second half ended with Okmul gee having won 69 games against 27 losses, three and a half games ahead of Fort Smith, The Davis boys, Wilbur and Stormy, were the big reason why Okmulgee won. Wilbur, former Au gusta Tyger, garnered 51 home runs and Stormy registered nearly as many. The City of Brotherly Love evid ently is a misnomer ns concerns Its treatment of the Detroit Ti ger*. Cobb'e crew would have won the pennant this year had' it not been for Philadelphia. Just why the Tygevs lost most of their games to the Athletes while being able to whip the Yankees and Senators, is too deep for us to figure out. May be old Man Si Kology had a lot to do with it. The ancient feud between Ty Cobb and Connie Mack dies hard. The spectacle of fans cheering for the visiting team to win is rath er unique in baseball. Such hap pens at the Washington-Red Sox games at Boston Friday and Sat urday. Boston fandom almost booed its home-town players for beating the Senators In Friday’s crucial game. The fact that the Red Sox did win, despite the fact that prac tically every player on the team is anxious for Washington to grab the pennant, reflects the great sportsmanship that hn* made base ball the national pastime.

PHILADELPHIA—A wild pitch by Joe Bush in the seventh inning of Saturday’s fray with the Athle tics cost the New York Yankees the game, 4 to 3, and made their chances of overcoming the Sena tors' lead practically nil. Had it not been for this wild heave, the Yankee's scoring of two runs in the ninth would have tied the score. The bad pitch came with Jimmy Dykes on second and before the husky Wally Sehang could retrieve the hall Dykes had scampered across tho plate with the fourth and what proved to he the winning tally. Rommel pitched a strong game from start to finish although ho weakened in the ninth, when he was solved for three hits. Bush's shaky start in the first inning, when he was blasted for five .singles and three runs, proved his most disastrous session. Rom mel struck out but one batter, but he singled out Ruth and the “Babe" was resting his bat on his shoul der when he was called out. The capacl'l crowd that com pletely filled the stands and bleach ers cheered vociferously as the game finished and let out still a louder whoop as the Senators' 7 to 5 victory was hung up on tho score board.
