work has begun in earnest The squad

the news that Don" Greene Will be

out any varsity experience, but made
a great showing on his class team last
year and impressed Yost favorably as
having the foundation fora good
guard or tackle.
Only light work was given the boys
during the practice today, the
largest part of the time being spent
in running the team through simple
formations without the aid OF signals.
All the plays tried we're along the new
style of play and are made through

kicking also received a good share OF
attention from the men OF any ability
AS yet there Is no favorite among the
s'booters." Dave Allerdice has this
branch Of the game under his special
direction and is giving the men some
valuable pointers.
Shorty" Mcmillan was In the back
field and handled himself like veter-
an. Incidentally he directed the plays
and assumed much the same position
as the quarterback under the old style
OF play. The Detroit boy appears TO
be the real thing" and should cinch
q place for himself on the varsity.
George Lawton is another Detroiter
who IL coming to the front He looks
better than ever. and the coach had
him at center and guard today. He
passed the ball accurately, and has
the earmarks Of a good center. Yost
may use him at this position as there
IS little possibility OF Smiths return
ing No word has been received from
! him. and the coach has about given
mp hope for his return.
Cole. who played guard on the fresh
man eleven last year arrived Thursday
and was out In practice. He is in

wind as the men that have been ont

sitions will be one OF the features OF

Had Wallace displayed just ordin-

have been registered then and there.
Did Wallace loaf? He did not. He

he could make.

brought the pennant TO this city in
1908. The whole thing hung in the
hands Of ST. Louis and the Browns

honest, the men In the game are up

From The Times, July 10, 1907
BY HARRY NELLY.

After carefully reviewing the stu
alton. after bordering upon the rela-
tive strength of the Tigers and Ath-
letics, the writer is most positively OF
the opinion that. unless something
unforeseen happens. Detroit will not
be four-time winner in the American
league.
To get right down 10 brass tacks,
the Tigers OF 1910 are not capable OF
playing the game the Tigers OF 1909
could. The Athletics are stronger

SATISFIED

CHICAGO. Sept. 23.-Walter Camp,
famous football coach, said today that
he could net form an opinion as TO
the worth CT the new rules until after
he has seen a game or two playe'i.
Camp was ia the city on his way west.
He has seen the Yale team In prac-
tice a few times, and believes the
rules will bring about the results de-
sired.
Camp says that the football situa-
ton In the east should produce some
CT the hardest fought battles since the
rules were changed In 1905. He
thought Harvard will have its usual
strong team. OF probably championship
calibre. when the championship games
begin.

There's a baseball star In every bush

And all they need Is just push
To put them in the groove.
They say the woods are full of Cobbs
And men like Lajoie;
Who should be holding big league Jobs.

Do you suppose that Connie Mack
And Hughie Jennings too.
