Mr. Hempstead will see that the coin which decides the location of the first two world series games is properly flipped by the property man. Herzog went back to the farm in no wise reassured as to his health, which was the only worry that brought him here. He does not know, and his physician does not know, whether Herzog will be fit to partici- pate in the fight against the White Sox. Herzog called upon President Tener to pay his respects. So far as known he did not discuss his standing with the New York club. tional League has failed to promul- gate this suspension, as is supposedly required by the constitution of the league. Perhaps some one in authority, with the Giantg was bluffing after all. Herzog's only concern, however, ap- pears to be to get in condition for the series if the club decides it needs him.

He remarked that it has been ten vears since this city’s major league clubs had met on the diamond, and | that he believed the fans were anxious | to have an opportunity of comparing } the two clubs and individual players. NEW GAME CLUB FORMED. Local rabbit hunters have banded together and formed a club to be known as the New Britain Wild Hare and Rabbitt club. The club has de- cided to place large stock of game in the field for the members, and will consist of Pelicans, German and Bel- gian hares.

Percy Guard, a curb broker, yyester- day had considerable money to place at evens on the Glants, but the best the followers of the White Sox would offer was' 7 to 10. Some small bets were placed on the New Yark nine at 6 to 5 but these odds were not con- sidered representative of the aectual betting market. CORNELL PREPARES. . For Gridiron Practice to Open at Ithaca Next Monday. Ithaca, Sept., 20.—Cornell's fogt- ball practice will start next Monday afternoon on Alumni fleld, although at that time Head Coach Sharpe eme pects that there will be only a hand- ful with which to form a nucleus for the 1917 team. ‘The first game on the schedule, tHat slated with Rochester University, has been cancelled, so that Oberlin will open the season on October 6§ in Ithaca. With Captain Fritz Shiverick in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, and most of last year’'s veterans in the service of the army or navy, prospects for a good eleven are not bright at present! So far only Van Horn and Hoffman, backs: Carry, centre, and Masson, sub-guard last fall, have signified in- tentions of returning for college work.

Previously Spies had stopped resi- dents of a suburb and insisted upgn highly excited discussion of the war. He was attired in a blue and white suit, a red shirt, a cream colored hat and suede shoes.
