NORMAL HAS GOOD ELEVEN.
81. Cloud Men Working Hard for Long
Schedule of struaaIss.

OF NlVuO wen WOTkIHA ETard tor Long
Schedule of Struggles.
st. Cloud, Mimi. Oct. 4.--The foot
ball team at the normal school is hard
at work and bids fair to be the fast
est this city has seen in years. There
is plenty Of material to pick from and
Coach Lynch expects to capture the
championship of the state schools this
year. The practice game played with
the Brainerd high school last Satur-
day, in which the Brainerd boys were
vanquished by the score Of 4 to 0,
has encouraged the boys and their
practice has been stiff and snappy.
Kuhn, the star halfback of the high
school team OF 1904, is showing up
strong at half. Kuhn is the equal in
speed, weight and responsiveness to
any OF the men representing the uni
versities In the west. Ahles, his rum
ming mate, is Kuhn's equal in weight
and speed but has not had the expert
ence that marks the latter's playing.
Marshik, the quarter back, has worked
under Lynch and Dan Smith is speedy
and has the proper weight for a quar-
ter, but is also lacking In experience.
Captain Parent at fullback is heavy
and fast and can be counted on to ad-
vance the ball when he is called upon.
Shredder and Quickstad at ends are
playing a fast game and are rapidly
mastering the forward pass. Schroe-
der is an old high school star and un-
dergtands his position thoroughly,
while Quickstad has been working for
the past two years and Is by no means
novice at his position. The team is
working well considering the time they
have been practicing and scrimmage
and a goodly amount Of good hard sig-
nal practice will round them into a
championship team.
The schedule is the longest ever an
dertaken ny any team OF the normal
and some good games are anticipated.
The list to Date Is as follows:
Oct. 9.--St Johns at st. Cloud.
Oct. 16.-St. Thomas at st. Cloud
Oct. 23.-Minneapolis Central High
School at Minneapolis.
Oct. 30.-AgricultufAl College of

and tactics Of a team, catching every

Good catchers are scarce at the

his team could SO fill in were any of
these three missing as to get along

by strong team, could hold up their

be less marked than were catcher

summer when Wagner was disabled

Each Big League Team Had at
Least One Star Diamond Artist

There must be on every baseball
team one man who is the most valu-
able member of the team. Team play
is the thing and pennants are won,
not by the work Of the individual, but
by the work Of the whole; but certain
individuals by the superior ability add
strength to the whole, tone up the
whole team and by their own efforts
are responsible for a percentage Of
opportunities created and accepted
which count greatly in the long run.
The more strong individuals the bet
ter, lie they can work tremendously.
What one player, then, is the most
important on each team? What one
player can the different clubs of the
big leagues least afford to lose? 1t is
subject for great variety of opin-
ion. The manager has his opinion,
and so do the rooters. In some cases
no doubt they would agree in some
be widely different
There isn't much doubt that Ma
thewson would get the popular verdict
when 1t came to deciding VINO was the
nearest to indispensable OF the active
players of the giants. A pitcher, no
matter how successful he may be,
isn't necessarily the most valuable
man on team. There may be another
who is more influential in the teams
welfare; but in the case OF Mathewson
ne is such a dominating Influence,
his presence in the box exercising such
bracing. stimulating effect on his
fellows, that besides his physical worth
he imparts a moral influence of no
mean degree. Take him away, and for
while at least his place would be
harder to fill than that OF any other
man. IA
Furthermore, there Is the very ma
terial fact that Mathewson is the best
pitcher in the country He is the best
pitcher the game has ever known,
without any doubt; superb all through
game or at going In to help out
another pitcher who is In distress, a
peerless master of his art: and when

big SCANDAL IN
| AMERICAN LEAGUE

Chicago, Oct 4.-The American
league is threatened with one of the
gravest baseball scandals OF recent
years, involving the syndicate owner
ship Of the Washington club, which de-
veloped out Of the charges of tip
ping signals by the New York High
landers.
Joe Cantillon's revelation that the
American league owns the Washington
club has grave look, in the light of
the recent deals involving Washington
and Detroit
Cantillon, in his statement after he
was let out by the washington club,
that the league owns 81 per cent OF the
stock in the capitol team, and proved
that the recent deal by which the De-
troit team was strengthened was a
deal engineered by Ban johnson OF the
American league.
The deal by which Schaefer and Kill
lifer went to Washington in exchange
for Dehelanty gave Detroit the PEN
nant.
The deal, II was charged, was engi-
neered by the president of the league,
and amounted to the league itself
working a deal by which Detroit was
given the pennant.

New Haven, Oct. 4.-The return of
Captain Ted Coy is eagerly awaited by
the Yale rooters Coy has been in a
New York hospital since the team re-
ported for practice and it is believed
that it win be impossible for him to
get into action before late in October.
The loss of Coy is blow to the Ellis.
He will not be missed, of course to
any extent in the early games, but
they want him badly for the big event
of the year. Than Coy there are no
better fulDbacks in the country. He is
a hard line plunger, has speed that
makes him valuable in open field work
and with all has great defensive power.
Few players can guage the point of

Logan is acting captain of the Yale
eleven and viii lead in the early games.
There Is a great fight on for positions
especially in the line There is one big
task ahead of Yale, the prevention of
another Harvard triumph in the big
game. Howard Jones is the head
coach this season. He had splendid
success with the Syracuse team last
year.

GAINESVILLE NO
MATCH FOR FARGO

Barnesville. Mimi. Oct. 4.--Barnes-
vile high school played its opening
game here Saturday against the strong
Fargo high and was defeated by a
score Of Is to 0. A weak line and poor
interference lost the game for the
locals. Although outweighed in every
respect they put UP speedy game,
and played much better toward the
end. Fargo secured two touchdowns
in the first half and one in the second.
Goals were successfully kicked at all
times. The Fargo eleven is swift and
showed signs Of good coaching.

the middle OF the field sailed over the
field close to the Minnesota goal line
and one Of them passed several yards
past it. Johnston was the star, five
of the seven touchdowns being made
by him.
Forward Passes Ineffective.
The game was generally of the line
pfunging sort Minnesota's attempts
at the forward pass were not very
hopeful, only one giving substantial
gain. Iowa introduced little variety
into her style during the second half.
Twice the hawkeyes tried an open
formation play but each time slow
work and a tumble spoiled it. Their
line was an easy matter for Mime
sofa to break through, and altogether
she had an easy time today. During
the last half q flood of gopher sub
stitutes were sent into the game and
Iowa faced an almost entirely new
lineup. Then the Iowans began to
get around right end for long gains,
but the referees whistle ended the
game.
The last touchdown was made by
Vidal the Fargo boy, who came in
for Pettijohn. SMITH kicked goal The
