What The Greenville News Has to Say of the Game Over , Which protest lias Been Entered. - , The following relative te the pro. tested .same at Greensboro 'last Tues day will be read with interest being taken from The Greenville Newt: 'The Greenville team may yet be awarded the pennant of the Carolina Association.- it became known yester day that Manager Tommle Stouch of tne locals had protested the secona game of the double-header Tuesday on the ground that the Greenville club could not be forced to play off a game postponed by rain In a series early Jn the season, and that the prospecu or his protest being- upheld by;ftha league oracial was excellent . The first resort which reached the city was to the effect that. President Wearn had already thrown out the protested game and that the pennant had been awarded to Greenville. As the information looked to be correct a bulletin was posted in front of The News office, riving 'the rumor.-It took only a few minutes for It to spread and soon a large crowd of enthuslastlo fans ' congregated In front of The News Building and made the air ring with yells. Later the re port came that President wearn naa net yet thrown out the game, but that it would, In all likelihood be thrown out : ..jv.;.;;i '-President L. A. James, of the local club, called u p.. Mr. Wearn over the long distance telephone last ' night and asked him if he had reached any decision. He replied that he had sent the facts of the case to Secretary Farrell, of the National Commission, and that he was awaiting a reply from him. It is understood that Mr. Wearn lias stated that he ' does not see how the game can count under the strict Interpretation of the con stitution of the Carolina Association. "There Is a section in the constitu tion of tho league which says ' that when a game Is postponed by ram it shall be played off when the visiting club next appears ' in the city- in which the game was postponed. If the game is not played off when the visiting club next appears, it M op tional with the manager of the visit ing team as to whether it shall be played off at all or not Stouch was not in favor of playing off this game and did so under protest It Is rumored that the sec,ond game was also protested on' account of a decision of Umpire Westervelt in call ing Joe Jackson out at the home pVate in one Inning. It seenU'slhat Walsh dropped the ball and It la said he admitted doing so after the game, but Westervelt persisted in calling Jackson out President Wearn Is quoted as saying that this was a bad decision. If Westervelt had can ed Jackson safe Greenville would have tied the score and possibly have won out later. "The decision of President . Wearn In these protests Is anxiously await ed. In the meantime the local fans are believing that Greenville has won the pennant. 'If the protested game Is tnrown out Greenville will lead by ten points, the percentage of the local club be ipg 678, as against 56S for- Greens boro."

The summer's heat will hardly hate given place .to the cool ef autumn before -Sprunt Ainieuo jieia, with lta freshly limed gridiron, will warm np with - lively, not to say red-hot practices that will usher In what the enthusiastic rooters aad supporters of the Red and Blaek-f believe Is going to be the finest foot' known. If excellent coaching. and an ambitious, difficult schedule are any pointers as te what the management minxs esn be made out of present and - prospective material, then .the Presbyterians ought to have this Tall a cyclonic aggregation of fast flying enas, swut backs. 'irresistible tackles, stalwart and, when desirable. Immov able guards to support a centre -rush who himself knows the game, and now to pass the hall to quarter with a 'rapidity and dexterity thaw Is con fusing to the enemy. The quarter-Bo Elliott is ' both general and cap tain, steady, clear-headed, experienc ed and one ef the finest at drop kick ing this campus has ever seen. For tunately and unlike the experience, of tormer years almost every man on last year's team wlll.be In training and a candidate for a place again this season. Add to this the coming; In of some fine new material In the class of '11 and that already partly developed in the training of last year's class games, it seems fair to say that . the cotches will have a squad to handle that In quantity and quality will be wormy of their highest and best en deavors. ;- ... ; Of the bid men, ex-Captain ''Red" Edgerton at centre. Is not as heVvy. as he might be. if weight could he ad dod for the washing, but more than a year ago he was named as second for an all-star team, and retrogression Is not in Edgerton's vocabulary. Dan iels and "Tubby" Warllck. with possi bly -Fat" Axford for guards can be trusted for any emergency. "Shack" Moore and Dunn have already "made gooJ" aa tackles. Among i the backs are Clark, known this summer in The Observer's baseball parlance as "Mr. Clark, of Davidson College," ."Jno. Jan." as he with laconic brevity signs himself to his most confidential friends, and Bob Denny, who Is fast and strong, and a superb punter. Rabbit" Kluttxv as swift and keen as his soubriquet would Indicate and "Nuckle" Wilkinson, distinguished for daring and dash, will hold down the end places, unless supplanted by their betters. But no one need imagine that the men In stature, weight agility, and training have no superiors the States over, nor Is the claim put forth that they, united constitute an Irresistible force when in possession of or strug gling for the pigskin, It is only claimed that they are good. In fact as a whole excellent, and that the coaches ought in 'he ahlik tr. nut Ant iam with these men as a foundation and a large part of the superstructure that will give their opponents a run for tho pennant and the grandstand spectators an exhibition of line bucking, roujh tackling, forward passing, ' end clrc ling, fancy drop kicking, and long punting that will arouse enthusiasm. Mr. John N. Levine. the. famous half-back and general utility man on the. Tale team of 1906 will be head coach for the entire season. He comes recommended as familiar with all the scientific points of the game and able to demonstrate In person how any play that he may wish to use Is to be executed. He Is declared to be not merely a general in command, but a workman right in practice. He will be assisted during a part of October by R. S. Graham, who for the two sea sons past has trained the "Preach ers" with such conspicuous success He took up the work here where It had left oft by that prince of trainers, C. R. Williams, who leaped into celeb rity when South Carolina University succeeded under his training In snatching victory to the surprise of the football world, from the Clemson Tigers. With a combination of Tale and the University of Virginia tactics and the best in each at their disposal. It would seem that the education of the Presbyterians, -as regards a sphe roid body and the laws governing its motion between two Riven lines upon the earth's surface, will be In safe and competent hands and that if the play ers fall short of victory It will not be for lack of training so much as from lack of natural ability and avoirdu pois. Till the contrary, however, la proved the expectation here Is that the product from this coaching will be extra fine before the Thanksgiving game winds up the fun and the sea- eon of 190S In a record writ and sealed. As a matter of fact however, the schedule is a hardr one, exceedingly so, and gives no Justification for Idle Doasting. it win require a team or ex pexience, of fine training and of equal ly fine muscular development to win manv games in the list that David son has arranged in ner. ran calendar. Some of the games that will be play ed are as follows: With the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with the A. & M. at Charlotte, with the University of South Carolina and with Clemson College at Columbia, both during fair week and on successive days. The Thanksgiving game is scheduled for Lynchburg with ' the Virginia Military Institute. A number of practice and less important games Will of course be played here. . . It is hard to realise In these steam ing days of summer heat and Picnic celebrations that It la a little more than three weeks before the coach will be calling- out his squad and put- ting his men throug-h a preliminary 'sweat and heat," preparatory to more earnest and serious training, but such Is the case. And when the moment ar rives, hot or cold, with sweltering heat or bringing keen, nipping airs. the football enthusiast will don his armor of cloth and cotton and report for "duty." It takes a youth to muster up the energy and start In for this dailv "bout and set-to" in the dut and dirt, but the youth will not be wanting, he'll ha there. - ,., Narrow Escape at Chimney Rock . , .
