BY TIP WRIGHT.

Won't be long now before people
will be more interested in knowing
about Browns twisted ankle, and
Jones' busted back, and Smiths
sagging scapulary-Messrs. Smith,
Jones and Brown being reat foot
ball heroes-than they are in Taft's
stand on the currency, or in the
progress of the war in Melilla, Mo-
rocco.
For foot ball is coming. It's
goodby, old Mr.. Base Ball, you've
put on good show, but the stage
manager is going to reach for you
with his hook in a minute.
And it's all right with us. Foot
ball is a good game for most people
who don't enjoy croquet. Sure, it's
a good game.
But now that we're starting in
fresh on a new year, let's drop a
word of caution and warning-one
that has to be said every year, but
one that's good to hammer in.
Its about professionalism in foot
ball. OF course, it isn't as bad as it
was five years ago, but there's al
ways the temptation where loyal
alumni and over jealous coaches
see a chance to pick up a 230 pound
guard who'll work for his board.
That sort of thing hurts the
game, al right. Nobody will ques.
, ton that, even those who stormed
at the college heads a few years
ago, who thought that the only way
to stop it was to stop foot ball. It's
helped the game to cut it out, and
the college executives have agreed
mostly that the game can be played
without professionalism.
But here's that word of warning
which we've been working up to
for about 80 words-keep the game
| clean.
| It's a good game. Play 1t fair.

FIRST GAME
OCTOBER 8
INITIAL BATTLE OF WORLDS
SERIES WILL BE PLAYED
EARLIER THAN EXPECTED
(By United Press.)

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Prelim-
mary arrangements for the worlds
series between the winners of the
American and National league PEN
nants were made by the national
commission at a meeting held in
President B. B. Johnson's office.
Both President Heydler of the Ma
tional league and Chairman Herr
mann of the commission were pres
ent in addition to Mr.. Johnson. It
was decided to begin the series on
Friday, October 8.
If Pittsburg wins the pennant, as
now seems certainty, this date is
contingent on the moving up one
day of the Pittsburg- Cincinnati
game of October Z to October 6,
which is on open date. Minor mat
tiers were gone over, no case of i'm
portance coming before the COM
mission. Garry Hermann left last
night for home, as did also Mr..
Heydler.
President Heydler said that no
action had yet been taken on the
protest of the Cubs against Pitts
burg over the disputed game.

run the 100 in 10 flat, and can hit
the line like pile driver.
Well, if you're sure he's going to
college for the education, but likes
to play foot ball just as other peo-
pie like to, that's up to you. But if
he goes to college so that he can
have lots of fun and get his ex-
penses and bit of change beside,
better leave him at the bench.

SUING CITY FOR CARS
Frisco Road Blames Bremen for Loss
 at Compress Fire.

Fort Smith, May l9. -(Specia) The Frisco railroad and the city of Fort Smith will likely be involved iu a lawsuit resulting from the burning of IA cars at the compress fire. General Agent Butler of the road affirms that the cars could have been saved had it not been for the refusal of Chief Surrat to remove line of hose laid across a switch track upon which the cars stood. He states that the switch crew were on the ground and could readily have removed the cars before the fire reached them had 1t not been for the action of Chief Surrat.
 On the other hand Chief Sur ratt states that when the depart ment reached the hre SIX minutes after the alarm was sent in, the cars were on fire and that every was made to save them, without avail. It is also claimed that the switch engine had hauled away a number of cars but a short time previously. and that the loss of the IA cars is not due to any action on the part of Chief Surrait.
 Mir. Butler says the company loss is SIS, 1000, and that a bill for that amount will be presented to the city and collected by law should payment be refused.
