for Indoor Titles.

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-AlI indications
point to a series of sterling perform
ances at the indoor championships OF
the Amateur Athletic Union, which be-
gin at the Madison Square Garden to-
morrow night and end on Saturday
night The entries Of many OF the most
prominent athletes in the East have
been received. but the greatest interest
is being manifested in the clash between
the New York and Irish-American Ath-
letic Clubs. which will meet in their
first struggle for national indoor hon
ors.
The New York Athletic Club is the
favorite in the hurdle races, with Hill
man, McCulloch. Sullivan. Ortington,
and TOOle. while the Irish-AmeTicans PIN
their faith on NoTthrldge. Gerity and
Riley. The accident TO Policeman Eller,
the crack hurdler, will probably keep
him out Of the competition. The dis
lance runs should add to the score of
the Irisa-AmeFicans. as they will be
represented by Bonbag, Frank. Cohn,
and DAILY IN the two and FIVE mile races.
Haskins and Root are the only New York
Athletic Club entries. though the Pas
time Athletic Club has entered Nelson

In the sixty and seventy -five-yard
dashes Charles SeitZ. OF the New York

Some good performances are expected
in the field events. The outlook IL raw

CHEERING WORDS
ABOUT NEW GAME
Broken Bones viii Be Plen-
tiful, But Players VIII
Escape Alive.

After watching the game closely so
far this season" says DR.. Huchins,
coach at Wisconsin and a graduate
physician. Il am convinced the new
rules are beneficial 10 the players, for
the reason that. though they tend 70
increase minor injuries such as broken
bones and strained tendOns. the per
centage OF fatalities will be decreased
greatly.
Il believe most of the injuries Will be
broken bones and twisted knee joints.
The broken bones viii come largely
from being thrown hard in open aeld
running, when a runner is tackled and
thrown. The knee twists viii come. l
figure, more in the end runs and other
line plays generally used this year
Many Breaks-Few Deaths.
by dropping the old style Of line
plunging the danger OF fatalities Is
greatly decreased. In those plays, when
man was called on to smash into the
opposing line. almost like butting his
head against a stone wall, something had
to give way. and the result too often
was injury 10 the head or neck that was
far more serious than broken bones or
twisted knees. Even the line men
themselves were IN danger IN those
plays. for where the play Was piled up
somebody was almost sure TO be hurt.
and the danger was that they would
be hurt badly. I have talked with a
number OF other coaches in this sec
ton OF the country, and l hnd they az
hold practically the same views that l
do in regard To the injuries.
Why Some Are Killed
"Of course. there have been some
fatalities already this year. but l am
confident that nine-tenths OF the boys
who have been killed should never have
PLAYED the game at ALL and would not
have been permitted % do so had they
had the examination 10 which college
man is subjected before he can play
football. Such Fatalities should not be
permitted 10 weigh against the grldlron
sport, for II Is too often the iauit OF
the Darents rather than the game, IN
permitting BOYS physically unable 10
stand such a sport 10 play It

TO ELIMINATE FREAKS
FROM FLORIDA RACES

From an excellent source il is learned
that unless soma plan be evolved 10
place freak cars in a class by them
selves. the representation of foreign cars
in the Florida speed tournament will
be decidedly slim. Among the machines
that, Il was declared, would be with
drawn would be those of the Darracq
and Fiat companies. both of which
were conspicuous IN the last Southern
meet.
+. Rand Hollender. the Fiat repre-
sentative. has suggested a plan for the
elimination of freaks" He asks that
the long distance races be placed first
in the weeks program. with the spirits
reserved for the closing days. Ma
chimes, in order 70 qualify for the cham
pionship dashes at one, two and FIVE
miles, would be required to show an
average speed in the races at one hun
dred miles, fifty kilometeTs and thirty
miles. or saw sixty miles an hour. This
would eliminate the freaks and the
cars that could go the pace at all dis
tanCes would line up for the worlds
championship at one mile.

BASEBALL.
Jordan, Of Brooklyn, was the best
home run hitter last year. Schultz.
of Chicago, ranked second.
Cincinnati had three infielders batting
above the 30 mark, yet the Reds could
not beat out Brooklyn in the race.
Magee was easily the best inside man
of the PhilHes last season. His batting
and base running kept the Phillies Ia
the first division.
In 1905 Catcher King hit below the
2+0 mark, but this year he boosted his
figures to 81.
Bergen. of Brooklyn. has the record
Of being the poorest hitter IN the Ma
tional League. He played in 103 games
for the measly average OF .16l There
are others below Bergen, but they
played IN fewer games.
Bennett, of ST. Louis. and Shannon, OF
New York, are poor walters. They were
credited with more times at the bat
than any other two players in the
league.
Manager McGraw says that Ames'
only fault is a lack OF control A pitcher
can have no greater weakness.
Fred Clarke may decide to remain on
his Kansas ranch next year. but the
one best bet is he viii be singing the
leather as Of old.
Eddie Ashenback has cut loose from
Scranton. alleging that the club did not
make good some Of It's promises. A5hen-
back, who is credited to be the best
minor league manager in the country
will likely take the reins of the St
Paul American Association club next
year.
