SAM LANGFORD
AFTER KETCREL

In spite OF his defeat at the hands of
Jack Johnson. Stanley KetcheI is stiii
recognized as the niddleweight cham
pion OF the world. When Ketchel be-
gan training for the recent Langford
faasco he refused to light at the mid
dleweight limit, giving as reason tnat
he could not reduce and remain strong,
Sam Langford agreed to meet him ait
catch weights, therefore. and trained
accordingly, only 10 have the bout call
ed off by the Fairnont IA. C. AS there
is no chance to secure q match with
Johnson while the proposed battle with
Jeffries hangs flie, LAngford declares
that he stands ready to sign articles

chel at catch Weights or at 1853 pounds.
to be decided at Colma at any time
agreeable TO the Michigan pupilist:
also that he will agree to $4,000 side
bet and any fair division of the purse
Langford says that ne can stop Ketchel
In quicker fashion than did johnson,
and by SO doing he will convince the
sporting public that, barring Jeffries,
he Is the only man in the ring capable
Of making the heavyweight champion
bite the dust.
Langford argues that II Ketchel was
ready to meet him in ten round bout
at the Fairmont Athletic club a month
ago there is no reason why he should
not agree to another match with a
longer route to go and better financial
inducements. He says that he must
whip KercheI first before ne can ex-
pect to secure recognition from John
son. and also states that il johnson
beats Jefrries. he VIII be Texas Jacks
first challenger.
Langford hopes that the proposed
Johnson-J effries match will fall
through, however. because he will then
be in line to fight for the heavyweight
title. II Ketchsl draws the color line
on Langford, the latter viii have to
go on meeting second raters until he
finally gets crack at Johnson. Lang
ford is confident that he can beat the
champion because he is a. more scien-
.tific man than Ketchel and has met
Johnson before.
Meanwhile johnson says he will nor
fight again until he faces Jeffries and
that he will not hurry the boilermaker

new RULE HELPS
HEAVIER ELEVEN

For the first time in many years a
new rule has been adopted in football
that is to the advantage of the heav-
Ter team. All of the big eleyens are
jumping at the opportunity to put the
ball in play on the twenty five yard
line after touchback. instead of be-
ing compelled 70 kick off as was re-
CURED under the old rule. This play
may be a little technical to the spec.
tator, but 1t is OF immense advantag.

tIons has the upper hand while III
possession of the ball.
Under the former rule, after a
touchback had been made, the side
making the touchdown was required to
bring the ball out to the twenty five
yard line and kick 1t to their open
ents. The new rule permits them to
Immediately put the ball in scrimmage
If they desire. This gives the team a
chance to keep possession OF the bali
until they have tried all the ways at
their command Of advancing it. II
they fail they can still resort to the
punt, which is just as good as kick
off from the twenty flve yard lines In
two of the games last Saturday the
big Four teams put the ball in play
this way and carried 1t all the way
across the field.
There Is always danger In giving the
ball to fast squad of opponents on a
kick. They are likely to bring the
ball back past the middle OF the field
and the goal will again be endangered
Under this new rule. however, a team
can rush the bah out OF danger. and

JENNINGS MADE
VERY BUM GUESSES

Three times has Hughey Jennings
blundered In the worlds series That
is In selecting his catcher for the all
important series. In 1907, the Cubs
made Charley Schmidt look cheap
while Payne was no better Jimmy
Archer sat on the bench and he is now
one of the star receivers OF the Ma
tional league. He has a far better arm
than Schmidt and the Cubs now say
that had Jennings used Archer in that
series, the comparison would not have
been SO one-sided.
1t was Schmidt again In 1908. This
time he looked even worse than In 1907.
Jennings finally sent Ira Thomas be-
hind the bat. Ira stopped the Cubs
from running wild on the bases and
Detroit won the only game 1t took
from Chicago in two years. But Jen-
nings did not send Thomas behind the
bat again. Instead, he soon after sold
him to Philadelphia. Had he kept the
big eastern boy, there is no doubt that
the Tigers would have won the series
this fall as it was Schmidt's poor
work behind the bat that handicapped
the American leaguers.
Despite Schmidt's failure to deliver
the goods in two worlds series, Jen-
nings again pinned his faith to Schmidt
and the Pirates proceeded to show him
up in every game except one. stan
age was given a chance and caught
Mullin in great style in addition to
stopping the Pirates on the paths.
Stanage was also used In the next
contest, but was taken out owing 10
his poor stick work. Schmidt replaced
him and the Pirates began to steal at
will again.
In the sixth game Of the series,
Schmidt starred, but at the same time
Moriarity and Bush saved him errors
by making splendid catches OF
Schmidt's poor throws.
Schmidt caught the final game and
Pfttsburg stole four bases on him.
Commenting on Detroit's poor work
behind the bat, Malachi Kittredge, the
veteran catcher, who is now a minor
league manager, remarked: "Once
more Jennings has kept his best catch
err on the bench. Beckendorf can catch
all around either Schmidt or Stanage.
Detroit would have won the series
with Beckendorf behind the bat
1t might be mentioned here that
Stanage's presence in Tuesdays game
was due TO the request of President
Navin. Jennings preferred to use
Schmidt throughout but allowed him
self to be persuaded by the president
of the club to try the younger man.

delight of the fans who had planned
to go to the Minnesota Chicago game
the announcement was made that the
game would be postponed till Mon
day, Nov. /. This date was highly sat
isfactory to the fans who could have
taken in the game In Minneapolis Sat-
urday and have returned.
Still later it developed that there
were 10 be some "doings" at Fargo

WHITE MANS
Land A MYTH
WINSTON CHURCHILL WRITES
FOR A GERMAN MAGAZINE
ABOUT PROSPECTS I'M
EAST AFRICA.


London. Oct. winston Churchill
has written very interesting article
In the current number Of German
magazine in which he endeavors to
show that In spite OF the immense
amount Of money spent in colonial
rion. East Africa will never become a
White Mans Land, but the great rival
OF the white man Is not the African
II Ii the Asiatic.
The African Is the common work
man, whose rivalry in economic
spheres is not to be feared, at least
not for many centuries to come. But
the Asiatic (says Mr.. Churchill) has
developed financial interests of his
own: commercially speaking, he has
pushed forward where no white man
has ever been. The white colony in
East Africa today struggles against a
huge army of African workmen led by
Indians or Chinese under the supreme
direction Of few white men of differ
emit rationalities There is In other
words no white working class; never
theless the white man il financially
deeply interested In the development
of the land.
What must be done 60 remedy this
anomaly? Churchill says
Precedent to Progress.
'Tr ought not to be impossible to
determine spheres in which the var
ious races could develop their own i'm
terests. Africa has been territorialIy
divided by the great powers. Would
1T not be possible TO divide IL also
economically? The mutual work of
the different races is necessary in or
der to cultivate such a huge possess
sion. Would it be impossible to Ak
the condi>NSns according to which this
mutual work should progress? White
men can live here and not there; here
is work for one man and not for an
other"
The question then arises: Can the
plateau OF East Africa become q white
mans land? The answer cannot be
given. as it has still to be shown that
the white man can dive, thrive and
multiply in the African tropics at an
altitude OF 5000 feet Consequently,
and until this has been proven, the
white mans land" must remain a
dream
Natives Not So Bad.
Winston Churchill passes on to ex-
anime the position Of the African ma
tives. They are neither so lazy nor so
stupid as planters are IN a habit or
stating. They learn rapidly, are ac-
tive. good-aatured, sensible to kind
ness and good words. The officers OF
the Kings African Rifles are proud Of
their black soldiers. What are the
conclusions to be drawn from these
facts? The author points them out
in the last paragraph:
"All that is necessary to place a
great part OF the African native tribes
on a higher basis of culture is j1st
and careful education and a sympa-
thetic comprehension Of their pecul-
iarities. And why should black men
only be taught the benefits Of peaceful
industries?"
