It was pointed out to the Pitt football heads that such a game would be a big drawing card In the Beaver Valley, and would undoubtedly attract the largest crowd that had ever witnessed a game at the Geneva groundB.

If the game is played the members of the training corps will march to Forbes Field in a body, guards will be placed to prevent any outsiders from entering the field, and there will be absolutely no spectators except the student soldiers. They are bearing their confinement to quarters manfully, and Coach Warner and his men, as well as the football authorities, would like to give them a treat in the shape of this game on Saturday. It has not yet been definitely decided that the contest will be played, but it will take place if the idea is approved by Col. Wolf and his staff.

9. The forced cancellation of the Mountaineers gridiron contests with Marietta, Pittsburgh, Nebraska and Army was certainly a severe blow to the members of the football squad who had been working for three solid weeks at every spare moment to get in shape for Just these games. West Virginia's practice started on September 16. For the first week or 1 0 days there were two workouts each day as well as a blackboard drill. Then came the opening of the university with about three hours of military work each riav for each man in addition.

This new order left little time for football but the brief period that was available was used to the utmost by the coaches. The result was that the day of the Marietta game West Virginia's squad, though crippled to some extent, was nevertheless in excellent condition both so far as football knowledge and physical shape were concerned. Tho. nnlv recret here is that the order of the War Department pre venting trips in ocioDer was not. issued earlier.

The proposition was under consideration by Graduate Manager K. E. Davis, of Pitt, who informed Geneva that, before coming to any decision In the matter, he would take it up with the military authorities at the Pitt S. A. T.

C. The opinion of the army officers was that the game should not be played, and Manager Davis, therefore, called everything off. as he has been careful all along to abide by the spirit as well as by the letter of every ruling made by Col. Wolf and his staff. Coach Warner would ha'e been glad of the chance to meet Geneva, as it would have given his boys a splendid chance to test their powers, but he concurred in Manager Davis' opinion that nothing should be done which would in any way conflict with the desires of the military authorities.

Situation Not Understood. The situation at Pitt is probably not thoroughly understood by the general public, insofar as the quarantine restrictions are concerned, while the members of the 8. A. T. C.

are In quarantine, there are many members of the football squad who have not yet been inducted into the army training corps, and are, there fore, not under quarantine, coach Warner could have gathered together I a strong team for the game with Geneva, made up exclusively of men who do not yet come under the pro visions of 8. A. T. C. discipline.

Therefore a game would have been played without violating the letter of any rule that has been laid down. Put tho military officials believed that such an act might be miecon-i-trued by the public, and, therefore, counseled against the game.

after a canvass tif the leading colleges of the East. At a majority of the institutions the athletic associations have temporarily suspended activities and the presidents of the colleges, in replying to the communications, stated that there was little possibility of teams of individual runners competing in the cross-country race. Tho advisory board thereupon decided to abandon the race taking such action in place of the executive committee the members of which are widely distributed in the service both at homo and abroad. The annual meeting of the I. C.

There will no baseball pame between the Westinghouse Munitions and P. J. Sullivans club either next Sturday or at any other time this year. After a lot of wrangling over details the managers nnallv reached an agreement and a game for the championship the Pittsburgh district was arranged for Saturday of this week. The influenza epidemic stepped in yesterday with a demurrer and the game is off.

most three weeks after the start practice and a number of college, teams had started practice before AVest Virginia did. The order makes a very radical change in all grid iron plans necessary. This refers not only to schedules but to practice, the method of selecting a varsity, and other plans that have been followed here for years. New plans are now betng worked out for West Virginia's season, and one thing seems to be certain, i. that the season will be extended so as to give those who have worked so hard to make the team may have more than the four or five) games possible in November In which to play.

Way baseball. Thus if the professional leagues do not resume until 1920 the year of 1919 would be considered as non-exlstrent in so far as it might affect a player's contract. There is still another angle to the proposition which involves the mag- nates and the two major leagues as individuals and co-operating business organizations. It might be held to be within their rights to refuse to negotiate with or for the services of player who, previously to the suspension of the game, was the property of another club. If such action were generally adopted the played would be obliged to report back to his original club for a renewal of his contract or a release, if he desired to reenter play in either of the big leagues.

9. Major league baseball magnates face a knotty problem at the coming annual meeting when they will be called upon to decide the status of the player at present under contract or reserve. Very few of the club owners hold the opinion, apparently, that it will be possible to resume league operations next spring. If such proves to be the case and there are few Indications to the contrary, it would appear that the majority of players who figured in the 1913 pennant races will not receive contracts during the early months of next year. According to the present system it is mandatory upon the clubs to renew their options or reserve clause upon players not later than January 1 each year and to follow this action by mailing contracts to the players not later than February 1.

It is extremely doubtful if this procedure will be followed in 1919. Under the ordinary ruling a player who did not receive his contract by March 1 would become a free agent and upon the resumption of big league baseball would be in a position to sell his service to the highest bidder. Contracts Carry Over. It is understood that the magnates will hold that the business of baseball was suspended under instructions from the government and that since the right to operate was beyond their control all contracts and other legal phases are suspended automatically. Under this construction the contract of the player carries over until such time as the government gives consent for a renewal of tho business of By a I I i I S.

Warner has explained to them every play which they will be called upon to use, once the campaign gets under way, and there is every reason to believe that the long preliminary Bea-son imposed upon them by existing conditions will be reflected in a smoothness of execution which would otherwise have been impossible until the closing games rolled around. Man Lands 3I4Ponnd Fish on Pacific Coast LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9.

Another world's record In big game fishing was shattered in the Catalina Island waters, when James W. Jump recently landed a 31i-pound marlin sword fish in 2i minutes, with light tackle. Not only is this unprecedented with light tackle, but the fish was near tho Tuna Club record for a sword fish on any tackle. The biggest one ever caught was in 1916, which weighed 362 pounds. Not in many years have the deep-sea fighters been so plentiful as this season off the famous Southern California banks.

Great swarms of yellow-tail and other light tackle prizes have been frequent. The leaping tuna, dolphin and marlin sword fish, varying In size from 50 to over 300 pounds have been plentiful. W. C. Boschen of New York, is credited with capturing 99 tuna and five sword fish for the season.

His nearest competitor is James AV. Jump of Los Angeles, with tuna and 11 sword fish. Ralph Vandeni holds the record for the season with the largest tuna caught. It weighed 149 pounds. Frank Click Directs All Camp Lee Athletics CAMP LEE, PETERSBURG, VA, Oct.
