With the week end drawing to a
close. another batch Of football games
are due tomorrow. The season is adj
vancing and the important contests are
close at hand now. In the west an i'm
portant game is that between the Hi
nois and the Wisconsin teams. Both
teams will fight hard. as the game
means much to each one. Illinois looks
to be good on paper. Chicago and
Minnesota will lay off tomorrow as
their big game comes next week. Wa
bash Will have as opponent the Michi-
gan Agricultural college. and the little
Giants look to be TOO strong for the
Farmers" In the east several i'm
portant games are scheduled. The Car
isle Indians will start their big series
with Pennsylvania. The Indians play
about all the big college teams and
have the hardest schedule Of any of the
elevens. Three of their best men are
crippled at the present time. but they
hope to make a good showing with
substitutes. SO far this season they
have scored more points than any
other big team in the country, having
made 173. while they have been scored
on but twice. Princeton will play
Cornell. which ought to be a good
close game. Yale lines up with Villa
Nova, and the result of this game Will
be watched with interest as the latter
team has played with Pennsylvania and
Princeton, and scored on each team.
Locally we have a game tomorrow
afternoon al Harrison Park, the high
school team playing Valparaiso uni
versity. The boys will give the older
team a good rub, and have fine
chance to win the game. If they play
as well as in the past. On Sunday the
Hammond Iroquois play the First
Regiment team on the same gridiron.
Packy Mcfarland and Kid Herman
have at last signed for their fifteen
round go, which will be held at Daven-
port on Nov. 81. Both boys are the
best in sight around Chicago, and 1t
remains to be seen which is the pre-
mier. If Packy wins he will have a
chance to line up against the best in
the country. Herman may have gone
back some, but his friends are backing
him to the limit and are finding plenty
of takers. The bout should be a
RATHER.
Albert Corey, the long distance
runner OF the First Regiment. clipped
one hour and twenty-one minutes from
the 100 mile record between milwaukee,
and Chicago his time being 1888. He
finished strong and in the last hundred
yards put up a lively sprint.
Johnny Evers is going to break into
the newspaper game and his first work
Will be published tomorrow by an
eastern paper. Good luck to him, but
baseball is the better field for Johnny.
President Dewey of the Boston Ma
tional league team has twenty-five men
for sale next season. He has a reserve
list of forty.
Cal Harris can't explain Governor
Hanly's persistent efforts to stop box
ing in Northern Indiana any more than
we can, while he allows 1t to go on at
Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.
Tommy Burns is off to old England
to put crimp in Gunner Moir, and
says that when he returns he will line
up against Jack Johnson the first
thing. 1t may be the last thing too.
According to Silk O'Loughlin, Clark
Griffith has got two star recruits in
Outfelder Bell of Butte and Catcher
Blair of Williamsport. But these
marvels of the fall are often lemons
in the spring and summer.
