Fifty Men out at Iowa.

Iowa City, Iowa, Sept. 27.-Iowa's s. foot
ball squad, for, the first time In the
history of the university. reached fifty this
afternoon. AS a matter of fact there
were more than a half hundred candidates
out this afternoon, but there were just
uniforms enough for fifty, and a half
dozen ambitious young fellows sat around
and watched, Coaches Knipe and Hobbs
put the other men through their PAGES.
Clyde Williams, quarterback and captain
last year. is back and is giving the coaches
the greatest assistance possible in devel-
oping the green men. The running of
! signals has been the chief business of the
the bunch has shown remarkable quick
ness and ability In catching on. /"
Next week. with the arrival of a, lot of
new uniforms nearly sixty men will be on
the gridiron, and out of that record
smashing number, Manager McClain says
there will, be picked an eleven that is
bound to win the Iowa Championship, and
make things most decidedly lively for IL
linois, Minnesota and Michigan. Missouri,
the Iowans predict, will surely go down in
defeat. $50 Z X szg5sEs
The new tackling machine, DR.. Knipe
says, is the best bit Of paraphernalia that
Iowa has ever had, and with it he is CIV
ing the men the best instruction in hard
tackling that any set Of players ever re-
xceived at Iowa. -.
With SO many men on the field, the
competition Isl fierce beyond precedent
here. For the past wo days, three full
:elevens have been formed, but, owing to
the sea of mud that engulfs the park, and
the still rather soft condition Of the men.
scrimmages have been postponed until
Monday. Then the work will be pushed
''hot and heavy" in order that the first
eleven may be made up and drilled for
the battle with the state normal eleven
Saturday. Oct.t4.
There is absolutely no information OBJ
tainable as yet that will tell who is to
fill the various. positions. Two giants,
over six feet tall, Atkinson and Fitz, five
centers, averaging 200 pounds, four men.
Captain Hollenbeck Jones, Ochiltree and
Griffith, kicking with the late-int the sea-
son skill, and twenty men going down
after punts with speed and accuracy
all these things make the selection of the
eleven this year the hardest task that was
ever set before Knipe
Enthusiasm is rampant at the UNIVERSE
ty, and the predictions of Manager Nc
Claim are echoed on:every hand. The sea-
son about to open will undoubtedly be the
best financially and in point Of attendance
on record. ~>-. "a

HULEN,s FIVE WORK.
Repeats His Salt Lake Experience in
Sacramento.

If ali reports can be relied upon. the
Salt Lake team was in big luck to get
rid OF Billy Hulen as easily as il did. 1t
will be remembered that Borchers signed
Hulen early IN the season. with the in
tentlon of making him captain of the
White Wings. Hulen had not been IN
the city a week until trouble began brew
ing in the Salt Lake line-up, with Hulen
at the bottom of it. Finally he made an
attempt to jump, but the prompt action
Of Joseph in entering suit against him
headed off this movement After Hulen
left the city he tried TO get several of
the White Wings to jump to California.
Now comes the report that the manage
ment Of the Sacramento team is sorry
that il trifled with Billy. as he nearly
succeeded in dtsruptfng that team while
drawing salary 10 help them win
games The following from the Sacra-
mento Bee tells the story:
William Hulen, until two DAYS ago
captain of the local baseball team, de-
MES that he was released by Manager
Fisher but claims he asked Fisher for
his release last Sunday morning, and that
he only played Sunday afternoon because
Fisher had no other man to put on sec
ond.
He denies having said that Fisher
owed any OF his men any money, and
gave as his reason for asking for his re-
lease that he was blamed by the fans for
every bad play that the team made, and
because some OF the home team were out
Manager Fisher said today he knew II
% be a fact that while he was In the
east looking for new players Captain HUI
len tried 70 get some Of his players 90
jump the club. Among others. said Fish
er, he tried to get Tommy Sheehan to
quit and go east.
Sc Everybody who enjoys the baseball
games, said Fisher, has told me that
I did a good thing when I let Hulen out
of the club They say that while he was
with the Sacramento club ne did not do
anything to show that he could play ball.
II I had been away from home much
longer I would not have had a club upon
my return. HUlen had tho men worked
up 10 such a pitch that they would not
speak to each other.

along with him. After he has played in

SELECTING TEAMS.
Managers Busy Getting Picked Teams
in Shape For Tuesdays Game.

StOney and Borchers sent down word
from Logan yesterday that they were Sc
Letting team from the Infants and
WHITE Wings that would make the La
COON and Ogden aggregation take to
the tall timber when they lined up against
them in the match game Tuesday. Foxy
Grandpas Weaver and Gimlin were
noticed in close consultation after the
game at the park yesterday afternoon,
and It is said were laying a trap for the
Wings and Infants. At any rate every
player on the two teams was gone over
and discussed, and it is safe to say that
the Farmer and Lobster managers will
not overlook any bets.
1t is reported that Weaver has gone to
Secretary Of the League +. n. Hess and
asked him to get out an official record
OF the players up to the day of the game
so that there viii not be any chances in
overlooking a player with a good record.
However, one thing is certain, and that
is that the two teams as they viii line
up viii be the strongest aggregation that
can be selected from the league, and
something Will be doing.
1t is understood that +. Alfonso Cook,

LOGAN. z; SALT LAKE. 8.
Ducly Pace Tries Potato Trick on
McNichols.

Special TO The Herald.)
Logan. June est is sincerely 10 be
hoped that the league authorities will
adopt some plan of avoiding such con-
fusion over umpires as has been wit
messed in the present series Of games
between Logan and salt Lake. Umpire
Martin failed TO appear on the field
again today and players HartzeH and
Douglass were chosen TO do the umpir-
ing. AS a result, the game was full of
wrangles, most Of them being due to
childish work upon the part Of the Wis
tors.
In the fifth inning Ducl1y Pace
worked mis- famous potato trick on Me-
Nichols, thereby causing lots of trOu-
bic. Mac was on third with two men
out, when, taking a potato from his
pocket, Ducky threw il over Stucke's
head. Mac" started for home and was
met by Ducky with the ball He was
called out. but refused TO leave the
field. A moment later, while all the
players were jangling in the center Of
the diamond. Mac" tried to steal in,
but Brockhoff was roosttng on the plate
with the ball and caught him again,
and again he showed his contempt for
HartzelTs authority BY going back to
third and staying there. Pace called
his men in, went through the formula
Of protesting the game, then went on
and played winning the game by u
score Of seven to three.
Quick did the twirling for Logan, and
was about the whole show, having the
White Wings completely at his mercy.
He gave ten hits, but kept them scat
tered, and in addition to this sent
twelve batters to the bench. He had
the Salt Laker's guessing from start to
finish. With men on the bases at three
different times, he pulled down two
batters and retired the side. Two fine
running catches were made for Logan
by Hahn and Waterbury. Jensen
started to pitch for Salt Lake, but after
four innings. during which time Logan
got seven hits and five runs, he was
taken out and Kelly put in
Father Tom was touched up for six
more safeties. three Of them coming in
the first inning he pitched. The Salt
Lakes played with little show of life,
whereas the Infants played with lots
Of ginger, fielding splendidly.
