to o in two twenty-minute halves. He
stated that the year this feat was ac-
complished the Wolverines had been per-
mitted to hold ante-season training, and
had the use of a training table, as well
as logical schedule. Under the same
conditions he claims that his team would
defeat the Red and Blue aggregation
which this year took the measure of the
westerners in to o match. He says
that under the present foot ball system
in the west the teams are, not allowed to
round into form, as they have to. contlne
their playing season to five Or seven
games.
Notwithstanding the fact that the off,
GERS awarded the game to the University
the touchdown made by Magoffin should
have been allowed. He says that 1t has
been fundamentally shown that such
should have beN the case. Besides
these facts, he N;o thinks the plan of
allowing the freshmen to participate in a
schedule of their own is an advantage to
the eastern teams. He stated that this
gives them just years start over the
west. But he seems to think the great
est strength of his argument lies in the
fact of the longer schedules which the
east has. and that the institutions there
are permitted to support training tables.
He says the results of the contests with
the eastern teams show that what he has
contended right along Is correct - that
they are laboring under a heavy handicap
when working under the revised western
conference rules.
Il am from an eastern college myself
said Yost, but they have not shown the
west anything yet that would convince
me that, under exact conditions on the
start and through the season, they have
anything on the west"

LIMITED TO TEN ROUNDS.
Action of Los Angeles Authorities
Regarding Ring Contests.

LOS ANGELES, December Tom
McCarey and his associates in the Pacific
Athletic Club are disposed to accept the
action of the city council in limiting the
big ring contests i'll this city to ten
rounds as final, and if the mayor signs
the ordinance, as he is expected to do
McCarey in future Will put on only
the ten-round affairs. He said that
though he regretted the attempt at re-
form of the game he was gratified at
in it for him at the ten-reund BUSH
ness than there would be in putting on
twenty-round bouts. He can get bet
ter matches. pay less for them and Sc
cure fighters of prominence to exhibit
their skill before his club than he could
do If he had to put them on for twenty
rounds
II am more than tickled. promised
the other folk that l would abide by
the action of the council. regardless of
what il would be, on their promise that
they also would abide thereby. l will
keep my word with them The ordinance
is not satisfactory, of course, but l nave
given my word to abide by II, and in
future the boxing contests that are given
under the auspices OF the Pacific Athletic
Club will be strictly and severely in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the
ordinance. We shall not move out to

What Allied Ralph Glaze.

Ralph Glaze the clever young collegian
whom the Boston club was SO fortunate
10 pick up couple of seasons ago, is one
of the dryest of witty ball players.
Ralph had a nonchalant manner about
him that causes one to think of John
Drew, or, better still, Lawrance Dorsay,
the English actor.
To see young Glaze when he appears to
be pitching his arm off one would imagine
that he is the most energetic of individ-
uals, yet both in actions and in speech,
when off the bail field, the handsome
Boston twirler gives a splendid imitation
of a man suffering from an aggravated
attack of ennui
Now Criger, the Boston catcher, is one
of those nervous, wide-awake chaps who
are always on the alert, and Lew is
never at rest without joke or two up
his sleeve.
One day last September when the Bos-
ton club was in a Pullman dining car
on the way to Philadelphia, Lew Criger
and Ralph Glaze sat at the same table,
and opposite each other. There happened
to be a dish of horseradish on the table
for it is served in dishes instead of in
bottles on the Pullman cars. and when
young Glaze saw Criger helping himself
from the dish he asked the little catcher
what the stuff was.
why, it's a sort of shredded cocoanut
without the sweetening,' replied Criger
and it sure is fine stuff, Ralph" added
the foxy Lew.
Let's try a spoonful of it, then,'
drawled Glaze as he took the dish from
Criger's hands.
Glaze was evidently wrapped in pro-
found thought, Tor he, apparently with his
mind a thousand miles away, leisureiy
dove his spoon down into the horse
radish and scooping up supply he
chucked it in his mouth and swallowed it.
The next instant Glaze was very much
awaken fact he couldn have been
more in the land of the live ones than
If he had been connected with busy
electric battery.
The tears ran down his face as he
gasped and paved the air, while his eyes
shOne with lurid light as he looked al
the grinning Criger.
In short while, though, ne had got
himself together TO such a degree that
he had lapsed into his usual nonchalanl
manner, but the tears still flowed from
his eyes. Just at this moment Jim Nc
CURE, the manager of the Bostons hap
pened to come into the car. and seeing
his favorite pitcher in tears he hurriedly
STROBE Up To him, and placing his hand on
his shoulder he inquired:
Why, Ralph; what is the matter;
what are you crying about?"
These are not regular tears" slowly
answered Glaze as he continued to wipe
his eyes; they are only volunteers he
added as he looked up into the big man
ayers face with watery eyes.

GIVE HIM THE OLD WAYS.
Sadie Houck Doesn't Like Present
Methods in Base Ball.

OF the old players of Washington,
next to Charley Snyder and Doug AL
lison, none is remembered more by the
old boys than Sadie" Houck, who for
years played shortstop for the Ma
tionals, and afterward filled the same
position with the National League team
of Boston.
He was a production Of the Creighton
club of White Lot fame, the same or
ganization from which Snyder gradu-
ated into major league work, and was
perhaps one Of the most natural ball
players that ever played before the
American public. He was also dirty
ball player" and by this We 60 not
mean that he tried to injure another
player, for he was never known to do
an act that ever brought discredlt on
his fame as straight player
But. in the history of the game no
one, not even Uncle Nick Young, can
recall the time when he ever saw
Houck in a neat, trim condition as far
as his uniform went, for he always had
the appearance Of a foot ball player
after gridiron struggle on a wet and
soggy field.
Houck has been made famous by Car
toonist Bergman in several of his best
drawings, and the use of his name al
ways brings the smile of fond remem-

DEPARTMENT LEAGUE CHESS
TREASURY LEADS IN FINAL
ROUND OF FIRST SERIES.

The departmental chess teams came
together in the final round of the first
series for the team championship We'd
nesday evening. The three leading
teams-Treasury. Government Printing
Office and Interior-did not antagonize
each other on this occasion, conse-
quently there was no certainty that
their relative positions would be chang
ed. Two of the three survived the ordeal
successfully by winning their matches,
but the position of the other--Govern-
ment Printing Office-is still in doubt
because of its match being unfinished.
The printers chances OF sharing nrsl
honors with Treasury look good, how
will accomplish it. If the deferred game
goes against it it will be tied with
Interior for second place and Treasury
will be in the lead by the narrow margin
Of half a point Thus the first part OF
the competition ends with three OF the
six teams in a most interesting position.
Interior made a runaway affair of Il
with Commerce and Labor, getting ali
four Of the games. But Whlle walker
Cohen and Pratt had clean wins. Louns-
bury's game was legitimately draw.
Richardson, realizing that draw was
useless to his side, made the technical
error of trying for win and, OF course
paid the usual penalty.
Both Agriculture and Treasury were
below their full strength, and when the
teams were lined up the former had some
hopes of checking the onward career or
the financiers. But it was not to be,
and thereby hangs tale of two black
queens whose sa fety was shamefully DIS
regarded. One of these mishaps occur
red on board 1, where Telling was per-
nitted to pin the adverse queen with
rock. after which Huntington had no
chance, although he made a game effort
to equalize. On board the case was
still worse Murray injected his queen

too rash maner, and Upper. by an
adroit knight maneuver, was enabled TO
make her a prisoner. On board Hal

superior position and capturing pawn

KETCHELL THE FAVORITE.
Battle With Joe Thomas Will Be
Fought Next Thursday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. December T.
Another great battle between topnotch
midd eweights will be decided here
Thursday night. Joe Thomas, the Cali
fornia pugilist, and young Ketchell. the
Montana tighter, will figure in it, and
they will battle for twenty rounds at the
base ball park, which is the largest place
that could be secured for the contest
in this city.
Ketchell knocked out Thomas in the
thirty-second round of their forty-five-
round bout at Colma, Cal, Labor day af-
ternoon, and since then he has been clam
oring for fight with Bill Papke for the
middleweights championship of the world.
Sporting men still think that Ketchell
will beat Thomas and are offering odds
10 to on his chances.

one leaving in the semi-darkness as they
prepare for the pictures is Elmer FLICK.


Tyrus Cobb. who carried OF the batting
honors in Ban Johnson's organization, is
superstitious to degree. Cobbs favorlte
hobby is the position of the broom with
which the umpires dust of the plate The
umpires find 1t handy to keep the broom
to the left of the plate. while Cobb, when
at the bat, always desires it to the right.
Whenever he steps to the plate Cooo
always picks up the broom ana losses II
to the right of the batter's box. AT nrst
the umpires didn't take kindly to the way
Cobb handled the sacred broom, but when
they learned it was his favorite supersti-
ton, they always humored his whim
When in a batting slump Cobb always
makes three crosses as he takes his posi-
ton at the plate. When Cobb reaches first
base on his journey from right field to
the bench, he always gives the bag a ter
rifle kick in, the direction of the home
plate. Although the bags are supposed
to be stationary. Cobb insists that the
short distance he moves the bag toward
the plate with his kick. often is the means
of winning a close decision at first for his
team.
When George Stovall is at the plate he
unconsciously bitches up his trousers be-
tween each ball pitched. This often
causes much amusement for the crowd.
Kay. the colt outfielder of the Washing
ton club. places his left hand to his mouth
as he steps to the plate. then he caresses
his bat with the same hand. From ms
swat record it looks as If others might
follow his hobby with success.
Kid Elberfeld despises a long bat. He
uses one so short that it almost looks like
a toy. The kid makes up for the short
ness of his slugger by hugging the plate
Phil Lewis of the Brooklyn team is just
the opposite: he uses long bat that
greatly resembles a small telegraph pole,
Topsy Hartsel always gives the plate a
couple of raps with his bat as sort OF
an introduction.
These are but a few of the many hob
bies cherished by men prominent IN base
hall No doubt a close investigation
would reveal that every player. from the
smallest bush league up, has his pet
theory.
