PAPA stage HAS FOUND
MAN FOR STEFFENS' PLACE

In Page, Stage probably has one of the
most versatile players who will perform
on any gridirOn this fall, says Walter
Eckersall, writing of the Chicago game
with Purdue. Any player who can be
taken from one position, in which he has
shOne brightly for two years. and placed
at quarterback, an even more important
and responsible position, is made of stel-
lar stuff, and he must possess that foot
ball sense and intuition which is not found
in every football players makeup.
The work Of Page was the means of
solving the hardest problem that Stagg
has struggled with this year. and as he
now is reasonably sure who will play the
other positions, he will start Immediately
to develop his eleven in team work and
intricate working plays, in which the for
ward pass and Onside kick will be import
ant factors.
A new phase Of Pages ability as a pig
skin artist came to light in his work last
Saturday. No one ever credited Page with
being a strong and dangerous kicker Not
only did his phenomenal kicking surprise
Stage, but it also was the cause of con-
siderable favorable comment in football
circles. His punting drop and place kick
ing and kicking off were as good as any
kicker in the west viii do this season.
but his ability to kick from his position
or on the dead run was the one thing
which Stagg undoubtedly will make good
use Of in the harder and, more crucial
battles

'Tied with New York for second.

The value of a cIear-headed second
was never more clearly shown than by
an incident in the recent glove fight in
New York between Willie Lewis and
Sailor Burke, says the sun. Lewis had
been knocked down several times by
heavy right-hand swings, yet he showed
no inclination to refrain from trading
wallOp5" with Burke until one of his
seconds, who had kept his mouth closed
up to that point, exclaimed, While
Lewis was in his corner:
"Cut out that swinging for the jaw!
Stall for a round or two, and then as
Burke keeps on coming to you step in
quietly with a left hook for the jaw
Lewis obeyed these Instructions to
the letter, and finally landed a hook on
the point of the chin that knocked all
the fight out of Burke and made him
quit. But for this cool-heaGcd advice
Lewis would have run chances Of besng
put away himself, and after the bout
his handler received distinct praise.
A shrewd, quick-witted handler, who
knows how to instruct his man at a
critical moment, is always an lmpor-
tant factor In pugilist'S SUCCESS. If
he can see at a glance the strong and
weak points of an opponent it is often
the case that the fighter in his care
wins because of superior generalship.
Tom O'ROurke, who seconded the late
George Dixon and Joe Walcott in near
" all OF their battles, enabled Tom
Sharkey to defeat Kid Mccoy at the
old Lenox Athletic club because of his
knowledge of pugilism and quick per-
ception. Tommy Ryan had been in
strUeting Sharkey in the art of scien-
tific boxing and was allowed 70 60 into
his corner as chief second, with
O'Rourke in the background.
STAND up and box with him, Tom. -
said Ryan - Sharkey went out to be-
gin the fight. Show the crowd how
clever you are"
Sharkey tried to box with the nimble
Mccoy, but was so clumsy that the
spectators laughed until their sides

COOL ADVICE FROM SECONDS WINS
MANY FIGHTS FOR MAN In RING

ached. Mccoy simply tented him into
knots, and then in the second round he
knocked Sharkey down twice in rapid
succession. That was enough for
O'ROurke, who brushed Ryan aside as
Sharkey came back to his corner, Ind
said:
Tom, you can't box at all. Go in and
fight as hard as you know how. Rush
the Kid to the ropes and keep on punch
ing at close quarters until you drop
him.
Sharkey rushed to the center of the
ring then like a bulldog and cut loose
such a fierce assault that Mccoy, re-
peatedly cOTnered, was finally slugged
to the floor and was counted out.
In addition to a knowledge of ring
tactics, a competent second must be
able to revive a pugilist during the
minutes rest, so that he can send his
man out again comparatively fresh
when the gong sounds. Encourage
ment counts for much, and sometimes
the use of stimulants at the proper
moment and skill In patching up
bruises turn the tide
First-class seconds can reduce a
swollen eye, ear, nose or mouth, can
stop the flow of blood from gaShes and
are also able to strengthen the breath
ing apparatus by artificial means, but
serious injuries are comparatively few
nowadays, because of the big gloves
worn by the fighters.

KRAMER IS STILL
BIKE CHAMPION
Season Ends at VaIeSburg
With Black Eye, but Title
Certain.

The American national cycling cham
pionships for the year 1909 held at Wales
burg are over and Frank Kramer is
again the champion. No one who has
followed the game in the east denies his
right to the title. In speed, headwork
and mastery of the wheel he had 1t on
them all. Jackie Clarke, the little Aus
tralian, was his nearest competitor. In
two championship races Clarke defeated
Kramer on merit, but his lead for the
greater part OF the season was due to
punctures which on three occasions re-
tired the champion from the race. In the
rest Kramer put It all over Clarke.
In the final race at five miles, ridden
last Sunday, however, Clarke did not ride
and Kramer had it all his own way. 1t
seems that there was grand mix-up in
which 1000 fans were disappointed and
left the track after the card in anything
but good humor. Incidentally the N c. A.
officials, Charles 3. BlOemcle, vice presi-
dent, and r. F. Kelsey, chairman, got in
bad with the crowd.
The final test for the championship was
long scheduled by Johnny Chapman as
five-mile event. of one heat. At this Kra-
mer kicked he said that he would not
ride because the distance was too long.
He could not make this stand, but on the
eve Of the battle succeeded in winning
over the two n. c. A officials TO have
the race run in heats. Kramer feared a
giant combination on the part of the
other riders to defeat him.
When the change was announced Floyd
Mcfarland, manager of Jackie Clarke,
refused to let his man ride. He said that
he refused to be bOssed by Kramer,
through Kelsey. Most of the other riders
sided with Mcfarland and the result was
that i'll the final appeared Kramer, Stein,
krebs and Ellington. liver Lawson
started but rode but a Jap and then dis
mounted This he did because of his con-
tract with Chapman to start in every race.
Needless 10 say Kramer won easily.
After the farce il was announced that
match race between Kramer and Clarke
would be run Oct. 10, but it is not certain
as the fans are sore at the way things
We're run
1t may be that Kramer has too long
head for the rest. At any rate he man
ages TO pull in the championship every
year.

PAPKE SAYS KETCHEL
WILL WIN FROM JOHNSON

Pittsburg, Oct. 9.-That Jack johnson,
the heavyweight champion, will have no
easy time Of it when he tackles Stanley
Ketchel and that there is a strong prob
ability that when the battle is over the
Michigan man will be wearing the hOnOrs.
is the opinion of Billy Papke, who is here
training for his fight with Willie Lewis
Friday.
I have listened to arguments on what
since the match was made" says Papke
Some people think that I would not
boost Ketchel on account of the bitter
fights we have had. But If l did not be-
lieve down in my own heart that he was
there with the goods l would be foolish
not to boost him for my own reputation
But l know that he is there, and all the
money that l wager will be carried by
Ketchel."

KICK IN LAST MINUTE
SAVES GAME FOR TIGERS

to a nothing to nothing score with
Fordham today, Cunningham's drop
kick in the last minute Of play giving
the locals a victory by a score of 8
to 0. The Fordham back field was
easily superior in end runs, long gains
were made with the forward pass and
Fordhams players took advantage of
PrincetOn's many fumbles.
On the whole 1t was the poorest ex-
hibitiOn Of football by Princeton

DILLON SAYS SPIKES
ARE NECESSITY OF BALL

Frank Dillon, the ex-big Lacquer, who
is now with the Los Angeles team OF the
Pacific Coast league, during discussion
as TO the merits and dement's Of the shoe
spike asI used by ball players, said that,
rail against them, as some players did,
the "armored Oxfords'' of reckless base
runners are here to stay. II there is any
man who has reasons to be pre1udiced
against the heavy hardware, 1t is Dillon,
for he has had his floppers jabbed full
of holes innumerable times. Dispense
with the spikes and there will be more
accidents and accidents Of a more serious
nature as the result of collisions between
base runners and basemen, says Dillon.
Remove the possibility Of getting SPIKED,
he says, and the baseman will forever be
trying to
Block the Runner
and a harvest of broken legs yfll be the
result. Rather than get in an argument
with a pair Of fortified feet shooting in
his direction with catapultic force, the
average baseman is inclined to give the
runner the right of way and tag him from
a distance that usually prevents serious
collisions. Further, Dillon says, it would
be impossible 20 play the game without
spikes. THE most remarkable case of
| spil1ing that I ever Witnessed said Dill
| lon, Occurred in Detroit when Jimmy
Collins OF Boston raked one of his feet

WORLDS SERIES
STARTED IN 1884
Popular From Outset With
Many Memorable
Struggles.
MEAN MUCH TO PLAYERS
INCIDENTALLY MANAGERS AND
FANS KEPT BUSY.

Pittsburg. Oct. e.-The worlds cham
pionship baseball series once more
demonstrates the wonderful popularity
of the national game In every city
and town throughout the United states
an army of fans await the result OF
each contest 1t was good business
policy on the part of the two MAJOR
leagues when they decided upon this
annual test Of skill, for they estab-
iished not only an incentive for the
players of the pennant-wtnning teams
TO show the fighting spirit right up
to the end of the campaigns, but also
provided a climax which has caused
widespread interest wherever baseball
is discussed.
The idea Of the so-called worlds Sc
ries did not originate with the present
major league magnate. however The
first series was the result Of rivalry
between the National league and the
old American association. organized IN
1882. Up to that year the Natlonal
league had a monopoly of baseball pat
ronage in the large cities, but with the
advent of the American association
there was a sharp struggle for first
honors, which eliminated In a battle
on the diamond between the champion
teams.
It was in 1884 that the first worlds
series was played between the cham
piOn Providence team of the National
league and the Metropolitans OF New
York, pennant winners in the American
annual struggle up to the end of the
season of 1890. Then came the war be-
tween the rival organizations and. of
course, the worlds series was abol-
ished, and as the tWelVe-club National
league was formed in 1892. there was
no further test, except a meeting of
the winners of the first and second
sea sons in 1NQ3.

LESTER DAVIS TRIAL
BEGUN At CANTON
Prisoner brought back from
South Carolina on charge
of Assault

Lester Davis, the young white man
who was charged with having assault
ed Mrs. Ella Huey, widow who lives
near Woodstock, in Cherokee county,
on the 9Th of August, was captured
last Wednesday in Spartanburg, S.
c., and is now being tried at special
called term of Superior Court in
Canton.
1t is charged that Davis broke open
window of Mrs. Huey's home, about
one O'Clock at night, and forced his
way into Mrs. Huey's room, where, it
is charged he assaulted her. He then
fed.
Mrs. Huey, almost unconscious,
managed to call little child who hap
pened to be in the house, and sent
him out to give the alarm.
Davis was missing from the neigh
borhood the next day and a search
was made for him, and he was located
in Spartanburg under an assumed
name, by a brother-in-law of Mrs.
Huey, who had him arrested and
brought back for trial.
