2—8 | MOLESKIN HEROES BRRORE SPOTLIGHT Intersection Combats Expected to Arouse Keen Interest in Gridiron Sport. EAST, WEST, SOUTH MIX New. York, Sept. 9.—Foot ball will do more this fall for the cause of Americanism than ever before. Stu- dents of American life realize the nationalizing value of east vs. west matches in tennis, base ball, golf and other sports. The gridiron game will bring persons in touch with their compatriots in distant parts more ef- fectively this year than ever before, for the number oi intersectional matches will surpass those held in any previous season. . Among the more important inter- sectional games will be those be- tween Syracuse and Ohio, Army and Washington and Lee, Yale and Vir- inia, Harvard and North Carolina, linois and Colgate, Minnesota and North Dakota, Virginia Poly and Yale, Georgetown and Dartsmouth, I Michigan and Syracuse, Pennsylvanio and Cornell, Harvard and Virginia, Notre Dame and Army, Missouriand Texas, Dartsmouth and West Vir- inia, Bucknell and Washington and ee, Nebraska and Oregon Aggies Efforts are still being made to bring a Pacific coast university eleven east for one or two big games, and there will he the usual intersectional contests between the leading school teams of the middle west the east im- mediately following the close of the regular interschélastic schedules The climax of the season will come with the playing of the Harvard- Yale game at New Haven and the Army-Navy game at New York on the same day—November 25. On the basis of past attendance and receipts these two games should attract close to 150,000 spectators, and the gate receipts will probably excecd $200.- The University of California will be the first on the gridiron this fall, the Berkeley team getting into act- tion on September 16. The last Saturday of October will witness the initial meetings of the elevens of the larger universities of both the east and west, and the re- sults of these games will have a di- rect bearing on the final outcome of the championship claims of the con- tending teams, Il Plays Harvard.

Yanks Beat Indians In the Ninth Inning Cleveland, Sept. 16.~After two men were out in the ninth and no runner on the bases, New York scored two runs and won from Cleveland, 4 to 3. Bauman _trippled to left, Hendrix walked. Peckinpaugh singled, scoring Bauman. Pipp scratched an infield hit, filling the bases. Baker walked, forc- ing Hendrix in with the winning run.

Some persons seem to think that it would be just the reverse. Neither of these men is a great hitter, but their power of resistance is out of the or- dinary. It is so much greater thar their hitting ability that nothing sen- sational could possibly happen. Dillon and Moha will be much bet- ter off if they stick to their specialty of humbling the clumsy big icllows. They both are well equipped to do that and so obtain plenty of favorable publicity. But if they fought each other the scrap would be a very com- monplace affair and both would lose caste, There is something highly spec- tacular about a little fellow like Moha beating a giant like Joe Cox, aithough as a matter of fact the smaller man really has the easier task. The idea that a little man shouldn’t be able to beat a big man is all wrong. As long as the little man is able to withstand punishment he need have no fear of a few pounds and inches, Look over the record of the heavies during the last few years and it-will be seen that in almost every case where there has been a marked difference the little man hag won out. Flynn Cleans Morris. The first of these affairs was the Carl Morris-Jim Flynn bout at the Madison Square Garden, which was one of the earliest fi%hu under the Frawley law, Little Flynn was no higher "than his opponent's shoulder and he knew even less about boxing than Morris did. It was ‘{mrely a test of physical strength and equipment. Flynn was easily the better rough- house man of the two and he inflicted such a beating on his gigantic u‘)pon- ent that the brutality of it almost caused the law to be repealed. Then_there is Battling Levinsky whose ‘career has been one long run of victories over men far hiiger than himseli. The men who beat him were invariably smaller than he. Jack Dillon is another example of the fact that the man who said “a good big man can always beat a good little man,” had his wires crossed. Dillon makes jokes of the heavies, but has plenty of trouble whenever he encounters a man of his own size. Sam Langford, rated the most dan- gerous of the heavyweights, is a small man compared with Jess Willard. It is true that Willard, the champion, is bigger than any other man in the ring, bt his success does not depend altogether upon his size. It was be- cause he knew far more about boxing than Moran that the champion was able to take his measure so casily, Before Willard learned how to box 80 well his great size did not make him invincible by any means, Little Tom McMahon, who, was scarely more than a middleweight, made a show of the big fellow, and Gunboat Smith, weighing 180 pounds, won a twenty-round decision over him. Right now Willard absolutely refuses to hear of a match with little Jack Dil- lon, although the latter has cleaned up all contenders. Willard says a match with Dillon would make him look ridiculous, and yet he is not ashamed to meet Fred Fulton, who cqtfild scarcely last five rounds with illon. White Sox Second In League Race as They Beat Bostons Chicago, Sept. 16—The Chicago club bombarded Leonard's offerings here today and defeated Boston, 6 to 4, in the first game of the most important series of the season. As a result of the local victory and De- troit's win over Philadelphia, the world's champions were dethroned from first place and now are in third with Detroit first and Chicago a close second. Weaver drove the ball over the left field fence on the bound for a homer in the first inning. Eddie Collins followed with a triple and he scored when Walker dropped Jackson's long fly. Jackson scored on Welsch's lin:l:. giving the locals a three-run lead. Another run was added in the sec- ond on J. Collins' walk, Favors' sin- le and FE. Colling' sacrifice fly, unched hits in the third netted an- other and the last run was scored off Jones, who had succeeded Leon- ard on the mound. Claude Williams went the entire route against the world's champions. Score: DOSTON. CHICAGO. ABHOAB.

USES THE MURPHY PLAN Philadelphia, Sept. 9.—Charles Lovett, manager of the University of Pennsylvania foot ball eleven, has Standing of Teams called attention to the fact that foot ball must be rated as among the “millionaires’ sport.” “Talk about private yachts and polo strings,” Lovett is quoted as saying the ‘other day, “none of 'em are in it with the financial strain involved in ‘putting a big college eleven in its first match.” Manager Lovett has it all figured out that it costs not a cent less than $225 per man to outfit the modern foot ball team. The equipment of the Pennsyl- vania eleven for the 1915 season, for instance, will include no less than seven hundred pairs of shoes and stocking of the most expensive sort, as well as jerseys, sweaters, mole- skins and other “armor” by the dozen. Several hundred foot balls will also have to-be “laid in” in anticipa- tion of a busy season on the gridiron. Just how a foot ball eleven can use 700 pairs of shoes and “several hundred” foot balls in a single sea- son is beyond our simple comprehen- sion. As Mr. Lovett is quoted as saying in the official bulletin of the University of Pennsylvania, it's stag- gering. Aside from the actual equipment and maintenance of the players, there's the salaries of the coaches, trainers and their small legion of assistants. Foot ball expense begins months before the first kickoff in the fall. For instance, there have been several men at work all summer at Franklin Field, University of Penn- sylvania, rolling the gridiron, rak- ing it for small stones, rebedding it with fresh sod, and getting the field into general first class condition for the opening game of the season, be- tween Pennsylvania and the Uni- versity of West Virginia on Septeme ber 30. This all costs real money. Retains Murphy System. While on the subject of foot ball at Pennsylvania, it's interesting to note that Bob Folwell, the new coach at Franklin Field, has made up his mind to return Pennsylvania to Mike Murphy's training system. This ap- plies especially to insisting that the men wear lots of pads, and the like, to protect them from injury in scrim- mages. Folwell week: “I don't believe in deserting a suc- cessful system, and certainly old Mike was the past master of all handlers and trainers of men. I will use the same methods as Mike did when he was at Franklin Field, The armor for the Pennsylvania team, and by this 1 mean their togs, will be the same equipment that the 1904 and 1905 teams wore. I do not believe in crippled players, for they are no good on the side lines. I believe in plenty of pads, as Mike did, and the team will wear them right from the| said of his plans last jump. 3 “No doubt it will surprise some to hedt that the Pennsylvania men will start scrimmage work in their sec-| ond week of preparation at Lang- horne, up in the mountains. I don't believe in pampering a player, nor do I believe in risking him to injury with light foot. ball harness. The team will have two strenuous weeks while up in Bucks county. The alti- tude is high and the air dry, and the fellows can stand a lot of driving.” New Orleans Makes Offer for Dundee And P{g@ie Welsh New York, Sept. 16—Néw Orleans is in the field for a twenty-round bout for the lightweight championship be- tween Freddie Welsh and Johnny Dundee. Deminick Tortorich, the New Orleans promoter, offered a purse of $18, for the bout and wired Dundee and his manager, Scot- ty Monteith, who are in Kansas City for a bout with \Ever Hammer, and Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager, care of Dan McKettrick, here in New York. It is doubtful whether Welsh will agree to fight Dundee. The pair met once before in a ten-round bout in New Orleans and Johnny gave Fred- die a terrific battle, all of the experts being of the opinion that the title would have changed hands had the bout been of longer duration. Dun- dee probably will refuse to allow Welsh to import his own referee, Billy Roche, for the occasion, and will refuse to be tied up in any i ement which will protect Welsh | jo x,\u\e hiin from losing the precious | ‘ title. | WESTERN LEAGUE, AMER.

Score, 10 to 3. For five innings the game indicated a pitchers’ battle with the visitors in the lead by a small margin. After the fifth the cosmopolitan crowd found Rhode and aided by a few infield mis- takes, were able to romp away with the game. The All-Nations presented a much stronger lineup than in the past. Don- aldson and Mendez have lost none of their cunning and were important factors in the victory. This afternoon a double bill will be staged, consisting of two stellar attractions, The first game, which will be called at 1:45, will be between the General Electrics of Minneapolis and the Armours, local amateur champs, The second game will bring forth Olson and Donaldson in am assured pitchers’ battle.

HOPE RUNS HIGH IN KANSAS | | | Kansas City, Sept. 16.—Foot ball i practice, already started at some of ¢ | the universities of the Missouri Val- ley conference, will get under way in earnest next week and, in a few days, followers of the sport will have ob- tained a line on the “green”, material and the numerous new coaches whose work promises to make the coming season the most interesting the seven institutions of the conference have gone through in years. For surely the fall of 1916 will long be remembered in the Missouri Val- ley conference as:the season on new coaches. Ncwln)en will be at the head of the training at three schools —and University of Nebraska, the Kansas State Agricultural college, and Drake university—and at a fourth, Kansas university, a new back- field coach will be on hand to aid Chauncey Olcott in rounding out the Jayhawker machine. As a result of these changes, en- game are asking whether the Cornhuskers will con- tinue to hold the valley championship title, as they have for several years and as to the ability of the new men- tors to put the Aggies and the Drake Bulldogs high up in the chase for the honors. Huskers Lose Stars. Coach E. O, Steihm, the former Ne- braska tutor, has gone to the Indiana university, and Dr. E. J. Stewart, with /| a brilliant record of victories for his teams, has come to Lincoln from the Orégon Agricultural college to head the Nebraskans. Dr. Stewart is con- fronted not only with the problem of wearing Stichm’s shoes, but he faces also the loss of many of last year's stars, chief among whom are Ruther- ford and Chamberlain, half back and end. As a result, teams that Ne- braska has been defeat'ng for years, hope that they have a chance now to turn the tide. The new Aggie coaches are Z. G. Clevenger, head coach last year at the University of Tennessee, and Adolph “Germany” Schultz, star from Michi- gan, all-American center in 1907, and line coach of several years experi- ence. They will have a squad brist- ling with veterans, reports from Man- hattan indicate. Drake’s team will be under the tutelage of Ralph Galze, Dartmouth, and Lieutenant Wier from West Point. At this Jowa school, it is said, the prospects are “rosy”'and the university students lopk for a good season, : Four Are Confident. As to the other four schools, Mis- souri, Ames and Washington are fsankly confident. Coaches Brewer tnd Schulte already are sending out reports from Columbia that eleven letter men will be back for opening practice Monday and that only two of last year's Tiger veterans wifi fatl to return. Ames had a great team last year and Coach Mayser, according to the belief of the Ames rooters, will have another machine of last year's calibre. Washington, under Coach Edmunds again, was more y1ccessful last season than it has been for years. Although Lewis, the fullback, around whom the team centered then, will not return, it is believed in St. Louis that Edmunds may duplicate last yeal;'s feat of trouncing Missouri, 13 to 0. The Kansas strength is undeter- mined. Ten of the sixeen letter men last year are patrolling the Mexican border as National Guardsmen and it has not been determined whether the War department will release them. However, Olcott will have the aid this year of George “Potsy" Clark of the University of Illinois with his back- field men and, undoutbedly, will keep his team in the race for the cham- pionship, » None of the schedules of the con- ference teams call for important games until in October.

MERKLE AND DOYLE GONE | New York, Sept. 9—One by one | the old guard of base ball is passing | on its way. The release of Fred Merkle to the "Brooklyns and Larry Doyle to the Cubs was but one more chapter in the \dismantling of a once powerful ma- chine which won _three successive pennants at the Polo grounds and put the National league to a point { of prominence which it never before had enjoyed in New York, always a ‘s(mnghold of a senior organization | The old boys—we consider them old now, because so many youngsters h of their triumphs—have been drop- ping off fast for the past two seasons Only Art Fletcher of McGraw's first champions survives. The breaking up of' a ball club akes little time as compared with the upbuilding of one. ‘Two years . ago this time John McGraw was making his last fight for a pennant He had won three in a row and was out to set a new record by taking four. The Boston Braves were just ~inping to prove their worth and :y distanced the Giants in the ht down the stretch. That was the last real noise the Giants made unless we figure their run of seven- teen straight victories this year When the Giants assembled at Mar- lin a year ago last spring most of the old guard were there. Mathewson and Marquard, who carried the pitch- ing burden in the world's series games, were ready to start another campaign; so were Snodgrass and Red Murray and Chief Meyers and others who had been with the team so long that the fans were beginning to regard them as institutions. It was a team growing old, and the hope was still held out that the 1914 failure had been only a slump rather than a proof that the old machine had cracked. It was a false hope. Three Pass on Way. During the 1945 campaign McGraw released Snodgrass, who had come to him as a catcher back in 1908, and had figured in all the world’s series of the Giants since that time; Jack Mur- rav who started as a regular in the Giants’ outfield back in the spring of 1909 and was also a regular during the three world’s series, and Rube Marquard, who had been with the Giants since the fall of 1908 and had aided materially in making the Giants a world’s series team, though he never starred in the big October classics as he did during the summer cam- paigns. The departure of these three players forshadowed what was to come. During the winter Chief Meyers went on his way, which happened to be across the bridge to the Brooklyn team. The Indian was another of the stars of McGraw’s championship team and he did most of the world’s series catching when not incapacita- ted by injuries. During the present season Mathewson was traded and now Merkle and Doyle go. Many Others Go. Many other players have gone in the meantime, but they did not hold the same place in the esteem of Gi- ants’ roosters as did the names. Ames and Wiltse were with the 1911 champions, but they were overshadowed by other pitchers. Doc Crandall was another and he made a big hit with New York fandom dur- ing his stay here, but his term was of shorter duration than those of Matty, Marquard, Meyers, Murray, Snodgrass and Merkle. Devore, Art Wilson and Hartley might also be mentioned. It seems so short a time since New Yorkers first packed the new stadium to see the athletes of McGraw and Connie Mack battle in the 1911 world’s series. We speak of Mack’s championship team as being a thing of the past. It is no more so than the Giants of 1911. McGraw has only Fletcher, who was a regular then and is a regular now. Mack has Mclnnis and Strunk as his regulars, who survive. Connie has the shade. During the 1911 campaign McGraw used nine pitchers and not one of them is with the Giants today. He had as catchers’ Meyers, Wilson and Hartley, and they are all major leaguers still, but not Giants. De- vore, Snodgrass and Murray were the regular outfielders then, and after Burns supplanted Devore the two others remained as regulars on the other champion teams, Burns was with the Giants when they won their first pennant, but not as a regular. He was taking instructions on the bench. Herzog, again a Giant, was let out during the winter of 1914- 1915, so only Fletcher has remained with the team since it won the cham- pionship in 1911, Omaha Traveling Man Pinioned Under His Car Tecumseh, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Special Telegram.)— .

The first act of this classy base ball festival will be a bloodless battle be- tween the Minneapolis General Elec- trics, amateur champions of Minne-w, 4 #olis and the Armours Class A ama- teur champions of Omaha. The Armours are in the pink of condition and\go into the arena pre- *=- pared to put themselves a step fur- | ther towards the coveted goal sta- tioned at Houston, Tex. Of course, the strength of the Minneapolis General Electrics should not be underestimated. They had to be a bunch of speed merchants to hook the bunting and, according to the dope, they are a congregation of speedy, hard-hitting, clever manipu- lators with thought tanks that play a conspicuous part in every tangle. Edward Gurness will hurl them in his usual manner for the Omaha boys, and J. Anderson wil most probably hoist tem for Minneapolis. All Nations and Brandeis. The second dish, All ations against Brandeis. Several times the All Nations have entertained the fans in Omaha, and all of their battles with teresting. This fellow, Mendez, affiliated with the AIll Nations, is a show all by himself. He can sgring enough comical stuff to make the king of pessimists kick through with a joy expression adorning his manp and, aside from the comedy, he, is a peacherino, handling the pill.\»_ Donaldson, southpaw, the peer of the African_race, will twist his puzzlers at the Brandeis and Oleson, the best twirler around this neck of the woods, will be on the firing line for the Brandeis. Lineup, first game: MINNEAPOLIS— First J Collins. Lawren Helmker. ALL-NATIONS— Hermandez. Kennedy, Brazhoff. Weidel, Mendez Prieto. Murphys to St. Louis. Now that the association is well fortified with jingles, the trips for the Class B and C champions are a sure thing., Next Friday the Murphy Did Its will hook a smoke wagon labeled for St. Louis, where they will dis® play their wares next Sunday after- noon. They will be pitted against the class B champions of St. Louis, but just where the games will be pf:yed has.not been settled. It is doubtful about the B champions securing an enclosed park, in event this can not be done, the game will be staged at one ?l‘ the city parks and be a gratis afe air. : Over at Des Moines, 1a., the Kraji. ceks, Class C champions of Omaha will endeavor to hang the crape on the champions of the same class sta- tioned at Des Moines. They will probably leave here next Saturday and play the following Sunday. Nothing is billed in the champion- ship department for Omaha next Sunday. In event Omaha trims Min- neapolis and Lincoln trims St. Paul, then Omaha will play at Lincoln next Sunday, but if St. Paul and Omaha win, St. Paul will play here next Tuesday, and, of course, if the Ar- mours lose today, the buoks will be closed. i'ull Dres Y s Suits for Rent For the Ak- Sar-Ben Ball Sizes from 32 to 52.
