and Washburn viii be about equal If
anything Washburn viii have some
what the best of it in the line. Okla
homa claims that its biggest man is
the Indian player, Wolf, who weighs
1877 pounds. Wolf Is short and stub
by, but the muscles stick out on his
shoulders in big punches.
There is one thing that Washburn
can count on with absolute certainty,
if the K. U.-Oklahoma game is any
indication, and that is that every time
Oklahoma kicks or, either Millice,
Caldwell or Williams will have to re-
turn the ball. Runbeck, who does
the kicking for Oklahoma, did not fail
once to put the ball clear to the Kan
sas goal line. 1t was one of these
long kickoffs that Pooler caught the
ball and returned it the full length Of
the field for a touchdown. Washburn
might as well get busy and perfect its
interference for the three backheld
men on the kickoffs for they VIII Ger
tainly have work to do.
Another thing that Washburn will
have to look out for in the Oklahoma
game is trick plays. Benny Owens is
a great believer in trick plays and he
always has some good ones for his
team to utilize. In the game with the
K c. Medics, some of oklahoma s
biggest gains were made On tricks.
Again and again the delayed pass and
double pass was played for long gains
In the game with kansas university.
Oklahoma did not try many trick
plays; it didn't have much of chance
The Kansas line and ends were so
fierce in their attack that they sim
ply enveloped the Oklahoma bunch
at every scrimmage and it was only by
fighting with main strength that they
made any gains at all Oklahoma will
be found by Washburn to have a
strong interference for end runs IN
less it has the misfortune OF getting
its star men, Acton and McCreary
crippled as in the K. U. game.

Little Leader of Champions Worn Out
by the Strain.
Chicago Oct. 26.-Charlie Ellison, the
Chicago plunger and horseman, today
gave out story concerning John Nc
Graw, manager of the worlds chaTn-
pions, the New York Giants, which II
not verified by later events at least
gives an inside view of the workings
of a baseball mans mind.
Ellison says that McGraW made the
definite statement to him that he would
not for any consideration handle the
New York ball club next season
There were times McGraW told FL
lison, during last summer when
thought 1 should go crazy over the
nervous tension. It meant many a
lief and would not go through it an
other summer for any amount OF mon
ey.''
It said to him." said Ellison. ''you

be back in the harness again.
mot me. I've got that stock now.
They can't show me anything more"
When John J. McGraW gets ready to
quit baseball the game will lose one OF
the most interesting little figures which
ever wore a uniform and spikes and
baited an umpire.
He played under Hanlon with the old
Baltimore Orioles in 1893, 1894 and 1895
and there played the game which made
as manager were in and out until John
T. Brush took him to New York, when
he began a still hunt for players which
displayed the remarkable eye ne has TOT
form in diseards of other clubs.
In looking over the material held by
New York then he clung to SandoW
Mertez, the man who Wou1dn' do Wien
the west side National league team De
cause he was such an in and outer.
Billy Gilbert secured his release from
the Baltimore club and signed Win
McGraw. George Browne was dropped
by the Philadelphia National league
team because he could not get along
with some of the other players. Nc
Graw got him. When he got Bill Dahlen
from Ned Hanlon McGraw said:
Now I've got the man wanted ever
/ since 1 have had charge of this team
Sammy Strang, regarded by many as
one of the best pinch hitters and utility
men working, was picked up after
Brooklyn had released him. Mike Don
| lin was secured because New York re-
fused to consent to his sale out of the
league and McGraW finally secured him

from Pittsburg to Cincinnati. Sebrine

He wanted Fielder Jones of the White

time that had expired peace between

! 1T may be that McGraw wants to
quit with winner and before he goes
back very far, =" remarked one follower
of baseball. IF he has Will power to
do that he will be an exceptional indi-
vidual. I don't see how he can break

New York, Oct 26.-While the racing
was just as good as on the opening day
last Saturday, the attendance was rath-
er slim at the United Hunts Racing
association at the Morris park track
Three favoriteS won.
The best coup Of the day was made
by the hackers of Mr.. Chatland's bay
gelding, Bedford. in the Upland steeple-
chase, at two and one-half miles, as the
horse, after being backed down from
to 1 to to 2, led nearly all the way
and won pulled up by Is lengths. Mrs
James Blute's Tramotor, which finished
second in the opening scurry of five fur
longs, was an to favorite but was
disqualified for second money for be-
ing over the limit of Is hands. There
were several spills during the after
noon, but none of the amateur riders
was hurt further than shake-up.
while two of the professional jockeys,
E. Kelly and G. Brooks, were so badly
bruised that they had to be attended
by the ambulance surgeon.
The third and last day of this inaugu-
raj meeting viii take place next Satur-
day. No time was taken in any of the
events.

HASKELL Ar WICHITA.
Indians Win Play the Fairmoumt
Eleven Friday.

Eleven Friday.
wichita, oct 26=Mueh interest is
being manifested in the Paramount
Haskell game at Association park Fri
day. The dopesters are figuring that
the Hill boys viii beat the Indians.
while the more conservative element
think they will at least score against
the redskins, but it is a certainly that
the Indians will have no snap when
they meet the ''wheatshockers" and
they will get a hard run for their
money.
Three games have been played by
the Hill boys. all of them resulting in
victories. In last Saturdays game the
team was in a very badly crippled con-
dition, but despite the fact that four
green men played in the line, the work
was very satisfactory.
In the game Friday all the old tim
ers will be in again. Davis, the goal
kicker and the big center, viii be in
his accustomed place. Belden will be
in his place behind the line and Bur-
ton, the snappy little quarter, has full
ly recovered from the effect of the
Chilocco game and is now in better
shape than ever to put up a strong
game.
1t is hardly likely that the Hill boys
will beat the Indians, but they will
hold the score down to such a low
margin that the redskins viii realize
that they have been in a battle. The
game promises to draw a large at
tendance as it will be by far the hard
est fought contest of the season.

OKLAHOMA IS, AIEDICs 0.
The Kansas City Doctors Were Com
nletelY Outclassed.

Kansas City. Oct 26.-In a game that
was very one sided the University of ok
lahOma football eleven trimmed the mi
versity Medical college team yesterday af-
ternOOn at Association park by a score OF
30 to 0. Only once during the entire 10
minutes of play were the -Medics within
striking distance of the Oklahoma goal
and at that time they. were held for downs
on the 5-yard line Oklahoma had no trou-
BILE in scoring. and during most of the
game simply walked through the Medic
line. The Doctors were completely out
classed from the first kickoff
The Boomers made three touchdOwns IN
the first half and three in the second Al
most every member of the team made
long run and it was a common occurrence
for man to break away from the bunch
and go tearing down the field for gains of
from 20 to 40 yards. The first touchdown
recorded by the territory eleven was the
result of a 65-yard run. This came eight
minutes after the kickoff The Medics
kicked off to Oklahoma, the ball going
about 50 yards. The AIedics held for two
downs and Oklahoma punted As yards and
by a lucky chance secured the ball on q
tumble They lost 1t again, however, and
the Medics had their first trial on the Of
fensive. They fumbled and on the next
play Acton broke through the line and
made the first touchdown. Runbeck kick
ed goal.
The second touchdown was the result of
a very heady piece of work by Quarter
back Cross of oklahoma. The Boomers
had advanced the bail to the 5-yard line,
where the NEEDLES held. After trying line
bucks for two downs Cross called Left
End Packard back of the line. lie then
tried what is known as a Quarterback
kick, the ball landing just inside the line.
1t rolled back of the line, however, and
Pickard fell upon it. making a touchdown.
Runbeck kicked goal. Many of those pres
ent commented upon this kick and labeled
it as the headiest piece of work seen here
this season.
With only five minutes to play the Ok
lahoma team carried the BAH almost the
entire length of the field for another
touchdown. A number of long runs, one

Cincinnati OutfieIder Takes Honors in
Batting and Pitching.

New York, Oct. 26.=Two champion
ships are now credited to "Si' Sey-
mour, the famous outfelder of Cincin-
natl Reds. Pitching and batting, the
two greatest accomplishments in base
ban, have been mastered by him, and
today he has reached a position where
he stands as the greatest all round
ball player in the world.
Most players reach their climax in
one department of the game, but not
so with Seymour. It was not enough
for him to strike out z45 men to be
the leading pitcher of the league of
1898, when a member of the Giants,
but during the season just finished
he has accumulated a batting aver
age of .377, beating the great "Honus'
Wagner by thirteen points, and won
the unquestioned title of champion
slugger of the world.
Recent reports would have Bresna-
han traded to Cincinnati for Seymour,
but the talk Of exchanging these two
players is just two years old No
doubt McGraw would like to have ST
wearla Giant uniform again, and good
things come high, but Bresnahan's loss
would be too dear price to pay.

nfhcance The Medic team is weak this
year Even the light team at st. Marys
college defeated the big doctors by
score of SO to @. Oklahoma was able to
pile up only 30 to 0. An easy victory
for Oklahoma was expected in the Medic
game, and it's chief advantage will be
to give the men from the territory a re-
newal of confidence, which was shot to
shreds in the K. u. game. Oklahoma

to play a much better game than it
played against the Medics. The reports
of the game do not state whether any
of the Oklahoma men were disabled, but
If is supposed that the team came
through the game without injury in
spite of the fact that numerous changes
were made in the lineup during the
game
Acton was the star of the Oklahoma
team. The big half back has evidently
recovered from the injuries which he
received at Lawrence. and will be on
hand for the Washburn contest Satur-
day. Acton Is said to be one of the best
halfbacks in the west, but he was hurt
in the first scrimmage of the K. U. game
