lnasmuch as the western colleges are
controlled by an association which pre-
scribes the date for the beginning of
preliminary practice. these elevens Sc
cured an even start, and no team can
point jealously to rivals early prac-
tice to excuse a defeat. Whether or
not this sort of paternal supervision is
q good thing is questionable. for the
ruling is unpopular with football men,
and it is broadly limited that 1t is not
very strictly observed.
Chicago Prospects Best.
OF the Big Eight Chicago seems
to have the best outlook. Coach Stage
has a fine lot of veteran material from
which to mold an eleven, SO that the
maroons expect to duplicate their pre-
Yious successes. The other teams
which make an impression in this sec
ton are Minnesota and Wisconsin and
both are unfortunately weakened by
the loss of veteran players, both by
graduation and other causes. Mime
the loss of Capron, the wonderful dror
kicker. This young man has decided
to give up the gridiron game, due &c

sumed name. Although he first de

world has seen.

(By Duncan Curry.)

Brighton Beach Track, n. Y. Oct. B.
All automobile records were smashed
10 atoms in the twenty four hour race
at Brighton Beach track this after
noon when George Robertson and
Frank Lescault in a 80 horse power
Simplex car. covered the astonishing
distance of LII miles. clipping 20
miles from the ,loT mile record made
by the six cylinder Lozier car three
weeks ago at the same track. TIE
Lozier six cylinder car driven by Cobe.
and the Thomas six cylinder car driy-
en- by Montague Roberts, had a des-
perate battle for second place. The
Lozier car eventually won out, COW
ering LIPS miles to the Thomas cars
1,115 miles.
But for a most unfortunate series
of accidents the Renault car, driven by
Strang, would have figured prominently
in the final results. and the same can
be said of both the Thomas and Lozier
nothing but tire trouble. changing no
less than forty one shoes on one of
it's rear wheels, while the Lozier car
was run into shortly after midnight
Friday night. which seriously inter-
ferred with its chances.
This, however. in no way detracts
from the wonderful performance of the
siderable delay through Friday nights
unfortunate collision with the Stearns
car that resulted in the death of Spe-
cial officer Pickett. Both the Michelin
and Continental tire people had every
reason to be satisfied with the result
as the Michelin product was not only
fitted to the winning car but to the
of winning up to the time 1t withdrew.
The Lozier car which finished second.
was equipped with continental tires,
and 1t was no fault of the tires that the
car did not win.
OF the other cars the A. X. Stearns
and Cleveland all did good work and
the three last named would have fig
ured in the final result by for acct
| dents in no way due to mechanical
trouble.

PROPOSITION is SPURNED.
WORD SENT TO MURPHY AND
THERE WAS NO CHANCE IN
THE WORLD OF SECURING
THEIR NEW YORK PET.

New York, Oct. 3-That Charles w.
Murphy, the owner of the Chicago Ma
tional League base ball club, had Of
fered $4,000 for Christy Mathewson,
the crack pitcher of the Giants, and
that John T. Brush and John McGraw
had spurned the offer, has become
known.
When, through an intermediary Muir
ply and Frank Chance, his manager,
set price of $4,000 on Matthewson,
the New York management sent back
word that even this unprecedented
price was not half enough to obtain the
transfer of Mathewson. To make sure
that their message was thoroughly I'M
derstood, they added that Mathewson
was not for sale at any price.
Offer in Good Faith.
Murphy's offer of $4,000, which was
made in good faith and with no in
tention that it should become public,
was. communicated to Brush and Nc
Graw through business man in this
city, who is interested in thorough
bred and other horses. and who has
the confidence of both the New York
and the Chicago National League base
ball managements.
In making the offer for Mathewson
Murphy and Chance explained that the
Chicago team, which had been unit
for SO long, must eventually disinte-
crate, and that the addition of Math-
ewson to the Chicago roster would be
of the highest Importance to them.
Brush and McGraw told the go-between
that it would be useless to open nego-
tiations for the sale of Mathewson,
even at price five times greater than
that once paid for $4,000 Kelly
The tentative offer of $4,000 was
so badly frost bitten by the New York
management that the intermediary re-
ported back to Murphy and Chance
that there was not a chance in the
world to get Mathewson.

has been at work less than a week the
prospects are painted in an unusually
bright hue. And indeed, there is good
reason for this because when practice
was formally opened sixty-one candi-
dates reported to Head Coach Roper,
and more have been appearing every
day. Roper has an efficient lot of
coaches as assistants in Mum and
McClave, half backs of few years
ago and Mccormick and Harlan of the
1907 team. They have many more
coaches. who can and will be called
upon later in the season.
From the present outlook the team
and especially the back field, will be
light Lightness of weight, however
does not imply the weakness, that 1t
once did. Speed is now the requisite
of first-class team and If the Tigers
can develop this quality they need
have no fear of the final outcome.
Quarter Back and Captain Dillon and
Half Backs Tibbott and Read are all
of the wiry type and fast as lightning.
Now if Coach Roper develops a line
that can support a fast back field he
will turn out first class team.

play a more prominent part in football

ITS POSSIBILITIES HAVE NOT ALL

STROUS BEAR TALES.

Philadelphia. Pa, Oct 3,--If the foot
several times as much novelty and sci
ence in the way of the new plays as
any of it's predecessors it will not be
the fault of the coaches and players
who represent the Big Five At
every one of these institutions there
has been shown a disposition to rush
the season. documentary knowledge
of the game is not being ignored, but
it is being rushed along and made sub
sidiary to the strategic side of the
game. That this is SO is proven con-
clusively by the manner in which vet
eran players of former days have been
f1ocking back to assist in building up
new offensive tactics. 1t is doubtful
if at any of the five institutions re-
ferred to here-Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Pennsylvania and Cornell--so
much solid progress had been made
within a single week. 1t is true that
Cornell and Princeton entered the field
later than their rivals, but with prac-
tice once started they have lost no
time.
The forward pass is certain to be
productive of the most startling revo-
lutions this fall. Without exception, all
these coaches are working with it as
the basis of their new plays. 1t has
now been a part of the rules for two
years, but this time has been required
ta 70 ariu nj Wi ha
principles. It's possibilities have not
by any means been explored to their
limit.
Accuracy in throwing and catching
the forward pass will be the keynote
to success with this play this fall
When the play was first introduced il
did not matter a whole lot how much
accuracy there was in the play, be-
cause it was used in such an indis-
criminate manner. Then the play was
used very much as the resort of the
weaker and inferior team which trust
ed largely to luck in making the play
a success. But this year team is sc
restricted in the use of the play that
it must be developed to high degree
or per1GCIlOn TO De winner FlfSt
emphasis must be placed on develop
ing several players who can throw the
ball any given distance with enough
speed and accuracy to enable one Of
his teammates to recover it without
fumbling. The change in the rules
whereby a fumbled forward pass can
be recovered only by the player who
fumbled it on the passer's side makes
this point doubly important. 1t has
been one of the inexplicable things of
modern football that SO much poor
passing and poorer catching of the for
ward pass should be tolerated by up
to-date coaches. At any rate coaches
appear to have realized the handicap
this weakness has been to winning
teams, and we may look for radical
improvement this fall.

Frequently a man becomes so prof.

but the tendency on the part of the
coaches is to risk as little as possible
with field goals, foolish state of af
fairs which may be remedied to some
extent this year. There has been too

coaches in the past that drop kicking

LEADS IN BATTING

Detroit, Oct 3.-Criss, pinch-hitter
of the ST. Louis Browns, and Bush, of
Indianapolis. the shortstop of the
Tigers, are tied for the batting leader
ship in the American League, and
much of Detroit's sudden rally can be
laid to the extra hits contributed by
young Mr.. Bush from the bushes.
Tyrus Cobb still has all the credit for
all-season work, and will be the real
leader of the league batsmen, but his
hitting record is much lighter than
last season, while his run-getting and
base-thieving have not been as good.
