 Hans Wagner has played every po- sitiOn on the Pittsburg team except a battery position. He has asked Man ager Clarke to be given a chance to pitch one game and then catch in an- other. This will equal McAllister's record with Detroit last year.
 Ira Davis is going to blossom out into blooming manager next season, according to all reports. It is said that he is booked to manage the Des NfOines club in the Western league. Davis did pretty good work for St Jos eph this season.
 WaddelI, the eccentric pitcher of the ChicagOs. recently was engaged to pitch a game for a rival team that de sired to experience the novel sensa- fion of winning a game Just as be was about to pitch the ball he paused minute or so and eyed the third base man meditatively.

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Surgeons, Hospitals and Trainers All
 Ready For the Season.

Ready For the Season.
 At the various colleges corps of sur geOns are being organized and drilled, and supplies of lint and splints are be ing ordered. All this activity because the football season will open with a rush, so to speak. on Saturday, Sep tember 2S.
 For the past week coaches have been working with raw college youths who aspire to be gridiron warriors, teach ing them how to hold their head when bucking the center, and avoid a frac- turned neck. At several places the hos pital corps has already been busy sew ing up gashes and attending to other minor injuries
 The football season is rather brief. that is to say, the entire playing sea- son does not take up more than ten weeks. In that time. however, there are more casualties than are recorded in boxing since inception of that sport ill this country
 From reports received from the larger colleges some good teams will be de veloped. Yale last year had one of the
  This year practically the same men will form the team, so that the New Haven college starts the season a fa- vorite.
 At Columbia there is good cause for rejoicing. c. Foster Sanford is again on hand to tach the men the game. This in itself is an assurance that the Blue and White will have q formida- ble team. ThesvctOry over the Prince ton team last year gives Columbia a right to a place among the foremost college teams in the country.
 Columbia will lose only one good man. He is Wright, who last year was considered the best guard i'll the coun- try. This will be a hard position to fill, but Sanford can be relied upon to select the best man for this vacancy. Nizer, who strOked the crew, may get the place, although there are those who believe that rowing makes a man too slow for football Morley is ex- pected to return. and with Ferrien and Weeks behind the line Columbia will have back field as strong as any in the country. az
 The prospect at Princeton is reported to be better this season than in several years. All the noted veteran players will be on hand to give advice. Lack of proper coaching was one of the handicaps that confronted the Tigers last year.
 At Harvard and University of Penn sylvania football has been in progress for more than a week but the coaches say that it is little too early to make predictions.
 Local football enthusiasts will see few important games this year. Col umbia has not arranged a game with Princeton this season because of a con troversy over q place to play. Column bia won last year. and took the position of dictator. and asked that the game be played in New York. This the Tigers refused.
 Columbia and Yale will play at New Haven. but the New Workers will have an opportunity of seeing the University of Pennsylvania play ill New York, This is the first time in several years that the Quakers have played here indeed, the first time since the Phila- delphia collegians took place in the front rank in football.

''Toss'' Kelly will issue a challenge in behalf of Harvey Parker for match with Hialmar Lundin of Wor cester in that city.

The match. if Lundin is willing, vii he for S250 to $500 side. and will be pulled off whenver Lundin is ready. Parker is now sailing the ocean blue, and vii be in town in few days.

WITH THE wREsTLERs.
Another Foreign Wrestling Wonder
 Forced to the Mat


 Big Remus. the so-called champion wrestler of Belgium and Holland, who came to this country few weeks ago to meet some of our wrestlers. was de- feated by Charley Leonhardt, Roeb- CTS wrestling partner. at Newark the other night. The spectators expected to see an interesting bout, but they were soreIy disappointed. The local man outclassed his opponent at every stage of the game. and the result never was in doubt. Leonhardt got two straight falls. the first in minutes and , seconds. and the second ill ] minutes and 20 seconds. After the bout was over Remus protested that he did not get fair pay. Leonhardt then offered to throw him again. but Remus re fused to accept the offer.

 tle-Joe Cans Defeats Steve Crosby
 -WaIcott and Gardiner Battle.
 Terence McGovern, America's largest small fighter, will now be pleased to listen to any suggestions that aspiring boxers may have to offer. In substance. Mir McGovern is pre- pared to fight, and, through his man. ager, Samuel Harris, issues a general invitation that cannot but appeal to those who are really desirous of a bat tie. MT Harris says the champion will consent to meet any fighter in the world, no one barred, at from 122 to 12S pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock ?. III. The bout must be contested under straight Marquis of Queensberry rules, the match to go to the club offering the best purse.
 It cannot be denied that the pro- posal, coming. as it does, from the champion, is extremely liberal. Per hitting his opponents to weigh any, where from 122 to 12S pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternoon offers them leeway that they seldom receive. Un- der the conditions, named David Sulli- van can have his alleged ambition gratified, and Arthur Simms, rising boxer. could also get chance at the champion.
 Francis Erne. who has now taken to fighting welterweights. says he was weak at 12S ringside. Possibly he could make 12S and be strong at r. m.
 Manager Harris says he is naturally anxious to have the best man possible matched with McGovern, as the cham pion desires to combine the pleasure of getting a large purse with the busi- ness of boxing the other fellow. Also the sooner a match is made the better both Harris and McGovern will be pleased.
 It is now in order for the challengers to speak up, and in no uncertain tones.
 CORBETT NOT SELECTED.
 San Francisco, Sept 21.-The report that Harry Corbett has been selected to referee the Jeffries-R RuhIin fight is without foundation. Delaney is at Los Angeles with. Jeffries and Madden is. at Oakland, and there has been no meeting between the two managers. sCorbett,,when questioned last night re- garding the rumor, said that he was not sure that he would care to act. eYeniif asked, ealthough he stated that he had been given to understand that he was acceptable to the managers of Jeffries and Ruhlin. ''It will all de- pend," he continued, tton how matters shape themselves as the date of the contest approaches, as to whether I will care to accept the trying posi- ticn." Just when Delaney and Mad den will come together for a meeting is uncertain, but until they do the question of referee will remain unset tied.

Search for the Missing Head.

LOWELL, Mass, June 9-The headless
and decomposed body of a young woman
was found under a heap of brush in patch
of woodland in Chelmsford, this afternoon.
Murder had been committed in a horrible
fashion, for the head had been separated
from the trunk series of slashes with a
dull weapon. The meager clothing affords
no clew to the identity Of the unfortunate,
and the circumstances offer case OF inter-
est outside, rather than in the direct COM
munity, as the theory quickly set up is
that the body had been taken into the
woods and thrown in a spot that offered
some seclusion.
A physician on viewin- the body thought
ii had lain in the place where il was
found four or five weeks. Tomorrow the
entire neighborhood will be carefully
looked over, in hope of finding the wom-
ans head. Whether or not there were
body wounds remains to be shown by ex-
animation. An abrasion near the heart
may have been fatal One of the men who
assisted in removing the body concluded
that the abrasion was from a bullet The
police know of no missing woman in Lowell
or neighboring towns. They believe the
booy was taken into the woods.
