OUTLOOK FOR
FOOTBALL BRIGHT
HARVARD WILL NOT SUFFER sN
FEW MEN WHO HAVE
GRADUATED

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 90
The outlook for a successful football
season at Harvard next fall is
brighter than usual. Only three reg
ular men of last years eleven and
one substitute WIN be lost, leaving
ten men who played in the last Yale
game to form a nucleus next fall.
There will be fair amount of first
class and good second string material
available The center position will
be cared for by Captain Parker, who
has played in that position three
years. He will have an able substi-
tute in H. B. Barney, who played
two years ago. Other candidates will
be C. j. Nourse, NJ. Dore. d. Plumb,
and G. Haddon. The loss of ,Kers-
burg at right guard will be serious
ly felt, but one of the many subs
under Coach Cranes eye may develop
into valuable material. 1t is ex-
pected that Waldo Pierce will re-
turn and hold down right tackle.
At present there is no prominent man
for left tackle. Warren and Phillip
bar or some of the guard candidates
may prove good men. There will
be fair number of good ends avail
able next fall; Orr, Starr, Macdon-
aid and Kennard of last years team
/; will all be back.
| Unless Starr is moved back to
quarterback, it will be difficult to find
a good substitute for Newhall. Tay-
lor, who was injured last year, is
now a promising candidate. Back
field material is plentiful. Wendell,
who played fullback last year. will
probably be shifted to halfback,
where he played two years ago.
Prospects are good for next years
crews. Three men will be lost out
of the eight by graduation and one
out of the four. Farley's place at
stroke of the varsity four-oar and his
brother, F. c. Bacon who. this past
season was stroke and captain of
the freshman crew, will be the most
likely candidates for the position. No,
will not be so difficult place to
fill. 1t is quite probable that only
one preliminary race will be rowed
before the Yale contest next year.

PREDICTS FAST FOOTBALL.
New Rules Stand Test and Interest
Will Be Increased.

New Rules Stand Test and Interest
Will Be Increased.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-College
football this season promises to pro-
duce the fastest game ever seen on
the gridiron. The new rules success
fully stood the test of last year, and
the masters of the game have wisely
made the two changes which wee
necessary. The possibilities of IL.
forward pass. so popular with spec
tators, have been increased by max
ing the play less risky to use on the
first and second downs. Instead of
losing the ball in case the forward
pass strikes the ground before strik-
ing a player of either side, the same
side now retains possession Of the
ball, but loses fifteen yards. When
the forward pass is essayed on the
third down, however, and it strikes
the ground without striking player,
or is otherwise made illegally, the
ball must be surrendered to the other
side, as was the case last season.
Lengthening the game ten minutes
is undoubtedly good thing because
it gives a>esam better opportunity to
work out It's campaign. Lack of time
last year prevented several elevens
from doing the little bit more noes
sary to prevent tie after the weak
er point in the defense of their OPP
ponents had been discovered and the
best attack to use against them set
in motion. There is no denying the
fact that the team capable Of altering
its sytem Of play should have the
limit OF time in which to carry out
it's complete program.
The forward pass will probably be
the most popular play of the year.
| No team last year, unless 1t had a
man who was very accurate in pass
ing the ball, cared to take any
chances with the innovation. The
players like it, but they were afraid
of it. Rather than make a mess Of
the play and lose the ball, they fel
back on the old game. But things
are, changed now, because the pos
sibility of making twenty or thirt!
yards or possibly a touchdown witt
the long pass will make the loss o
fifteen yards, should the play go wilC

ARRANGE FOOTBALL DATES.
Colleges Have Distributed Them So
As Not TO Work Hardship.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21,-In arrang-
ing the football dates for the coming
season some of the colleges have dis
tributed their games in such manner
that they are not asked to face so
many hard contests as they were in
1906.
Yale has dropped one or two of the
teams which were forcibiy strong
against the Ellis in the early part of
the year, and West Point, after the
sorry experience of last fall when the
team was played against the stronger
elevens until it was stale, has arrang-
ed for a more sensible schedule for
this year.
Harvard no longer meets Pennsyl-
vania, and now has but one nerve
racking contest to play, that against
Yale. Princeton's schedule is. if any.

SCHAEFER AFTER SUTTON.
Issues Challenge For the Billiard
Championship.

CHICAGO, September 21.-Jacob
Schaefer has formally challenged
George Sutton for the 1872 billiard
championship of the world, deposit
ing $3.50 with the Brunswick Bake
Collender Company, donor of the en-
blem, to bind the match.
Schaefer holds the 1871 champion
ship title, having won it from Sutton
in Orchestra Hall last spring. George
Sutton, who is now in the city, said
that he would accept the challenge.
BY the conditions under which the
trophy was offered he must accept
formally within ten days or forfeit
the title and the trophy.
The match undoubtedly will be
played in this city, both men now
living here. 1t must be played with
| in sixty days. The championship cup
and $500 are at stake. Schaefer's
hacker is the North Clark street bill
lizard room proprietor, Charles Ten
mes who backed him in his successful
match against Sutton last spring.
Schaefer has been showing good
| form in several weeks of practice al
Sennet's and is regarded as having
a good chance to wrest the other bill
lizard title from the heavyweight
| holder.
While the 1872 permits OF closer
nursing than the 1871 style, and
therefore is supposed to favor SUIT
tons remarkably delicate touch
Schaefer, at the same time, does suct
phenomenally brilliant execution
with the cue at times that his chances
4 are regarded as equally good.
In the 1871 match with Sutton the
Wizard" seemed to be beaten unit
i just before the finish, when he got II
wonderful run of over 100. SUIT
ton holds all records at 1872, havin:

. tournament last year of 234, an'
; averaging 100 in lone of the 500
, point games.

NOT SENDING BEST MEN.
Reply Of Baseball Idol When Defeat
ed for Political Office.

When Silk O'Loughlin, the much
admired umpire, made the race for
state senator couple of years ago,
he was representing the Rochester
district, for it is in Rochester that
this notable dictator handler hangs
his hat after the baseball season is
at an end.
Well, Silk made a tremendous
fight for the job, but he failed to get
the decision, although his canvass
was said to have been the hottest
pulled off in the Flower City for
many a long day.
Just after he had been declared
defeated he was walking along the
street in Rochester one day when he
happened to meet Johnny Evers. who
is a native of Troy, but who was
visiting relatives in Rochester, and,
after shaking hands with O'Lough>
lin, Johnny said to the umpire:
I'm mighty sorry, Silk, that they
turned you down on your run for the
senate. How do you account for your
defeat?"
''Well, I'll tell you the whole Sec
ret, Johnny" replied Silk, as he put
his arm about the little second base
man, Rochester is not sending hei
best men to the senate this year"

PITCHERS GREAT RECORD.
Indian Bender Holds the Majcr
League Advantage.

4 s
NEW YORK, Sept. 2i.-If the
American league pennant of 1907
goes to Philadelphia, Connie Mack
will find no one to whom more
thanks are due than his big Indian
pitcher, Albert Bender. Bender has
made a most remarkable record this
season. He not only holds the major
league record for the present season
for consecutive victories, but he has
proven a star with the willow and
came to the rescue OF his team in
many a pinch. But it is his pitching
record that commands most atten-
ton.
Beginning on June 25, Bender won
every one of the eleven games he
pitched until August Is. In those
games the Athletics scored forty-fve
runs, while their opponents scored
but eleven, an average of one run to
game. The opposing teams never
scored more than two runs on Ben
der. And the remarkable part of it
| is that Bender was used against the
strongest teams on the league, the
| teams that are racing the Athletics
for the pennant. On August 25 Ben
der's streak was broken when he lost
one-score game to the White Sox.
Bender clinched the hold of the At
lethics on the pennant two years ago
Wise ones in baseball say that Ben
der is to play an important part in
winning from the Tigers this year
Jennings places his hope on young
Summers, whom he got from Indian
apolis. But Bender is the more ex'
perienced man and the experience
counts heavily in baseball.

DAD CIARKs BLINDNESS.
Eccentric Old Player Is Called BY
the Umpire.


the Umpire.
When Dad Clarke was pitching for
the New York club he was known as
one of the most eccentric players in
major league baseball, and Dad lived
up to his reputation.
AS a pitcher who dealt in giaring
personalities his equal has never been
seen, although it is probable that
Curt WEIGH was close second to Dad
when it came to conversing with bat
tiers in language that would hardly
be permitted in any ones parlor.
Dad used to detest the umpires and
he would try to "bull'' them on any
and all occasions. For this reason
the men who handled the indicator
in those days were perfectly willing
to shoot it into the chesty Mr.. Clarke
and the umpires then were mep-
they had to be.
Once Clarke was pitching a game
against the Chicago club, and IL ever
he wanted to trim one team worse

Some One to Whip Big AL Kaufman
Quick.


Quick.
Now some strong young man will
have to lick AL Kaufman again, says
G. e. Van Loan in the Los Angeles
Examiner.
Schreck's defeat was a bombshell
in Chicago. Certain loud adherents
of the fat boy from Cincinnati have
been proclaiming him the only real
live heavyweight champion of the
world and batting Tommy Burns with
repeated inquiries as to when he
would fight the big Dutchman.
Schreck is now pounding the floor of
the Down and Out Club and of all
the men who might have whipped
him, Kaufman seems the most like
ly. His last fight in Los Angeles
was a wretched exhibition of incom-
petence. 1t showed no improvement
over his first fight herein fact, he
seemed to be worse than when he
fought Barry. A real fighter would
have whipped Gardner in one round.
Kaufman stalled and fooled around
for three-quarters of an hour when
well-directed punch would have end
a we'll directed punch would have
ended the fight at,any time.
Schreck was never classed as a
topnotch fighter, but with the heavy
weights at such a distressingly low
ebb, Mike figured as one Of the head
liners His defeat at the hands of
| AL Kaufman puts Mike in very
poor light. Unless he has a manager
who is good at inventing new ex-
cuses, Mr.. Schreck is due for the wet
blanket and wide slab in the
catacombs. afefs

''The people here do not drink

exclaimed well known author

When requested fer such a
prescription for the cure of

they are the filters Of the blood.
They must be made to strain out
