ly the pigsskin is in the air oftener
than It ever was before.
A former Yale football player once

The west will see two near-big
games in the clashes scheduled at

at Chicago when Stages men stack

two most important games for this
week will be the PENN Brown and the

The Army eleven has invariably
made a stubborn fight against Yale

The statement that his personal check
would be sent to the National COM
mission TO pay for all reserved seat
tickets which were not sold for the
Sunday and Monday games In this

tickets for the worlds series and the
destinations that officials or employees

in collision with scalpers when tickets
we're returned TO the national commits

OF THE CUBS. His opportune bat
ting was the best OF any man on
either team. He led the regulars of
both teams at bat with "A percentage
OF ACT. HIS work on low throws from
Tinker was wonderful demonstration
OF his abilities at first base.
In generaiship his one mistake was
leaving Pfeister In too long IN the
game which Detroit won. On the 9th
er hand. his grasp OF the situation in
every other emergency and the skill
with which he manipulated his pitch
ers passed anything short of absolute
perfection.
Detroit has had a great baseball
year. Its team was easily second-best
in the world and brought a second
pennant TO the Michigan metropolis.
II should be stronger next year.
And now. with the last game OF the
series toward which We began looking
year ago over and played. the wear
led fans can settle down TO a winter
OF rest and once more realize that
there are other sports than the big
one.
The Detroit club will hold one more
meeting on Saturday morning and will
then disband for the year. after a talk

usual Fluctuations which will cu,min-

agement owes to the Philadelphia

get into the big series. He came In,
fresh from the minor leagues and
carved his name high on the tablets
OF fame by beating the New York
Giants three times in one week. there
by making Ii possible for the Cubs
TO play off for the championship In the
resulting tie.
OF course, Il Is out OF the question
for the Tigers to be present on Satur-
day. That evening they will be the
guests OF the city of Detroit. Their
special car will, however, be switched
to a train leaving Detroit at 1:20a.a.

them plenty OF chance to reach the
scene OF the game.

While the college football season is
fairly well under way. the big elevens
have not as yet been disposed to give
any linking OF the tactics and strata
gems the coaches have prepared in
order to overthrow their powerful op-
ponents.
So far the teams have been content
to employ nothing but the most rudi-
mentary and simple class OF plays.
This is the third year of open.alay
football, and IL there are any sensa.
tional developments in the forward
pass or the quick kick they have yet
TO be shown.
Michigan has not considered IL nee.

tried the forward pass only spasmod

When the stronger opponents come
TO Ferry Field. then the Wolverines
will get an opportunity of exploiting
some of the plays Coach Yost planned
on his vacation. Ii is possible that
the turn OF fortune I'm the game with
Metre Dame next Saturday will force
Michigan TO broaden it's offensive tao
tics in that game.
With the conspicuous exception OF
Allerdice, there have been no notable
drop kickers or goal from placement
kickers at Ann Arbor. Coaches OF oil.
most all big elevens are deploring the
fact that they have no apt man TO
help along victory by occasionally
contributing 4 points through the skill
OF his toe.
There were some good performers
last season. but judging from reports
of games there Is poverty OF capable
men In the colleges this year.
Nowadays the absence OF a good
kicker. one who can get of long
spirals with dispatch and certainly. Is
a blow no college eleven can weather.

Oct. 10, from Detroit to Grand Rapids

TO add material sum to its earnings

on the Chicago grounds next Saturday

the beneficient workings of the foul
strike rule
OveraIPs speed was so terrific
that the Tigers were unable to
time their swings with any degree
OF accuracy and the hard-hitting
left-handers Of the local list kept
boosting ball after ball over the
grandstand. Had the local bunch
been able to get on the bases with
a little chance TO work, desperate
stunts might have been possible.
The fortunes OF war never gave
them so much as a chance.
In the field the Tigers out-did
themselves. OLeary contributed what
was probably the most sensational
catch Of the series on fly batted back
over his head, ~anishing the feat with
perfect ELECTROMAGNETIC. Sam Craw
ford, whose outfield work has been
the most brilliant feature Of the outer
gardening of either team, speared a
drive back In left-center that looked
Hike starsspangfed threc-bagger.
Schmidt caught as good ball as King
and he and Schaefer again blocked a
by the Cubs In a way
that amply indicated the Tiger back
stop who came in for SO much unjust
criticism in the series of last year.
Donovan pitched nice, matter-of-
fact game-good enough to win with
any sort OF batting support but not
good enough to keep the Cubs shut
out and carry the game into extra in
situation which the Tiges
had TO face as on the day before.
