Getting under way to one of the most miserable starts ever offered by a Syracuse University eleven, the Orange football eleven finally found itself in the second half and in a few flashes of brilliancy managed to defeat Mercer College, 26 to 0. at Archibald Stadium Saturday afternoon. It was a brilliant 96-yard run back of the opening kickoff of the second half by Chet Bowman, Olympic mar, that started Syracuse on a march to victory turned an otherwise drab afternoon into an event that partially pepped the 9.000 cash customers who baked In the sun as the Orange slipped and faltered through the opening half. Mercer, bringing up from the South the fightingeat band of football gentlemen seen in Syracuse in a long time had Syracuse easily and completely at bay during the two opening periods. The- were aided somewhat by ghastly errors of comission and commission.

but they treked back below the Mason and Dixon Line with the honestly earned admiration of all who saw their plucky fight against terrific odds. With two or three exceptions. all individual honors of the day were carried away by the invaders. A diminutive red-haired quarterback who barked his signals in a delightful Southern drawl, two fighting tackles that licked any pair that Syracuse could muster, and a rangy end, who was in every play of the game, won fame in the dried out turf of the stadium. Smith Stars It was Smith.

the end, who, almost single handed kept the Orange away from the enemy goal. Smith, aided usually by Simmons, captain iDt the Southerners time and again trapped Syracure runners from the rear. He was down on every kick. he vas at the bottom of every pile and he followed the ball like a dog follows a bone. Smith' and Simmons.

of Mercer, held the Orange during two bitterly fought quarters, but in they couldn't do it alone and the Orange started registering on the new score board. Jack 2lcBride, going great guns this year. smashed his way to a cleanly earned touchdown, kicked a placement goal after missing two previous attempts from field by inches and kicked goals after all three touchdowns.

It was the best natured crowd ever gathered in a ball parkof course. they were there with their horns. rattles and all the usual props. They rooted and cheered and went just as dippy as any crowd of the kind ever did. but with all that they were the fairest, squarest lot of baseball fans ever assembled and no matter whether Washington wins or loses the series It's a cinch that this man's town will always be remembered for its downright tood sportsmanship.

The New York rooters caught the spirit of the thing and applauded and cheered every member of Vie Washington team for their far, snappy Plays, just as they did 'for thair own club. It wee a sort of mutual admiration affair from start to finish with the great crowd 'on edge until the last man was out. No kicking, no alibis. no umpire baiting, no raising of any kindan honeat-to-goodnets ball game and a perfectly wonderful crowd--even the usual grandstand cottedians, the boys who make the funny cracks that keep the folks amused, were missing. The only comedy remark I heard pulled throughout the entire game was abou.t Louis Mann's collar, 'of couree Loutl Niter de-an old story at the Polo Grougds, tut it was a sensation here The crack was as follows: Oh, look at that Peculiar looking person with a cuff around his neck.

Johnson had enougli stuff and strikeouts to win two bail games, but the Giants got the breaks. The Senators came within a hair's breath of tying it up in their half of the twelfth but a close decision at first base ended the greatest exhibition of the national Rams ever played anywhere in the Old fool world. Again I say the Giants were lucky to win. They would have been unlucky, had they lost. The Senators may share a little of the leek Sunday and bring both teams to the big city on Sven terms.
