OVERALL Opens
FOR THE CUBS

Chicago, Oct. S.-Manager Chance
of the cubs said that he is satisfied
with the schedule for the worlds SER

Will play just as good ball at the Ath-
letlcs' park as on our own field. The
boys are seasoned to foreign crowds
and they are as clever on the road as
at home. OF course, l do not like
those overnight jumps, and neither do
any of the players, but if they must
have them, we realize that they are
just as fair for one club as the other.
so they will not handicap us any more
than the athletics, who will be on the
same train. | am confident that we
will win the series.
Brown Is in better shape than he
has been this season and will give a
good account of himself So will Ed
Reulbach. Overall is uncertain. Some
days his arm feels fine, and other DAYS
it bothers him a good deal. If he is
right there will be nothing to il. If
he is good and ready / shall use him
in the first game of the series, and
probably follow with Brown in the
second, leaving Reulbach to pitch the
first game in Chicago. l am going to
send both Brown and Overall into one
more game apiece before the series to
give them a good workout, but shall
not work either of them more than
once
Il expect to get into the lineup my
self within day or two, for l must
get some work to be in shape for the
series think my leg is going to
stand up all right 1t is better than
it was, and I hope that it will not go
back on me. 1 will probably start
playing Saturday in Pittsburg and
continue every day if 1 do not get
hurt again. In case cannot play in
the series l shall feel perfectly con-
tident of Jimmy Archer being able
to hold down the bag all right"

PITCHER COONBS
IS NOW A HERO

|
1t was early in 1906 that some re-
narKabIe pitching attracted attention
to youngster UP in Maine and half
a dozen managers tried to sign him.
Some thought they had him, but there
was heartburning one day in June
| that year when Connie Mack told a
group of reporters:
wen have a new man tomorrow.
HIS name is John Coombs, of Colby
college, Maine"
One of the reporters nearly tainted
He was an official of the PhiIlies and
thought Hugh Duffy, then manager.
and Coombs as good as signed. It
later developed that Mack had signed
the youngster almost a year before.
The average collegian fails to de-
liver in the big leagues, but Coombs
was different. Big and strong, with
great speed, but not the best Of con-
troll, good head and ability to hat.
he wrote his name high in baseball
chronicles by pitching a 24-inning
victory over Boston, Sept. 1, 1906
Coombs won that game but the
strain weakened him, and the next
season his pitching arm broke down
The athletics trainer worked hard on
the arm and in few weeks Coombs
had more speed than ever, but no con-
troll. His batting caused Mack to plav
him in the outfield part of 1908, and he
was kept on the payroll during 1909.
although his pitching was unimpres-
sive
Last spring COMBS hard work told.
One afternoon he pitched a few in
nings without issuing a pass, and folks
who asked why Mack had kept him
knew the answer From that day
Coombs has been a sensation and his
performance of tanning fourteen
Browns proves his class. Among the
feats credited to COMBS is a 16-innins
runless game against the white sox,
with Ed Walsh opposing him.
Coonbs Is an out of doors man. He
was a farmers boy and sports have
been his hobby. He played on the
Colby college eleven and took part in
other sports. He spent the falls in the
Maine woods. He is q good golf play
err. Whenever he can get away for a
couple OF days he spends his time fish
ing off the Jersey coast.
Coombs Is a bachelor. When in the
south couple of years ago, wealthy
widow became attached to him. she
owned thousands Of acres and bank
account. But Jack was shy He was
trying to get control of the ball at that
time and probably figured that to mas
ter a widow and horsehide simulta-
neously would be too much of task.

DR.. WILLIAMS SAYS
LESS DANGER

Minneapolis. Oct. 8.-Dr. III. L. Will
liams. football director at the Univer-
sfty of Minnesota, does not agree with
the IDEA that there is a possibility for
more injury in the new football than
there was in the old.
The injuries of which we are hear.
ing now are the usual early season in
Juries and are to be attributed to the
early season vim and enthusiasm OF
the players attempting to work with.
ut the requisite conditioning than
anything else.
"The boyss come into the football
camps, each and every one with his
heart set upon making the team. They
play harder than at any other season
of the year, and few of them have un-
dergone any training or conditioning
to ut them to stand the work They
are susceptible to injury to a greater
extent than later in the season when
they have had an opportunity to tough
en- up. believe that if 1t is followed
up closely we viii see a rapid Iessening
OF these minor inquiries as the season
advances. There will always be in Iur-
les in any game, and ] really believe
that in the rules committee we have
eliminated those dangers to such as
sI inal injuries and broken necks. Most
OF the injuries will be such as broken
collar bones, sprains and lesser hurts
such as come in every branch of ath-
letics.
believe that the new game is a.
better and safer one for the players
and better and more interesting one
Tor the spectators. When the boys get
into condition / predict that there win
be a heavy decrease in the number of
injuries and a great lessening in the
serious aspect of the hurts"

ENDERLIN TAKES
SEVERE BEATING

Fargo college defeated the Enderlin
high school football team on College
field yesterday to the tune Of SIS to 0.
From the start the college had walk
away and piled up ten touchdowns. OF
course 1t is not to be expected that a
secondary school can put it over a
college, but nevertheless Enderlin put
UP a good scrappy game. In the sec
ond quarter they held the varsity and
no touchdowns were scored.
The college team showed a great
Improvement in all phases of the
game. Their plays went off much
more smoothly and the line showed
UP stronger than it did a week ago.
There was great deal of penalizing
against both sides and both teams
were held strictly to the rules by ref
cree Richardson.
Coach Watkins gave all the squad
chance to play in the game in order
to judge better to whom he will give
positions. BRyard demonstrated be-
yond doubt his ability to come back
by making three touchdoWns. Catlin
also played a brilliant game, making
the sensational run of the game.
Glasgow showed up in fine style in all
departments of the game. Spalding,
Rusness and Captain Slingsby all
played excellent games showing that
tile college will have some number one
backs this season.
During the past week, Coach Wat
kins has been working the squad hard
every night and the results are begin
ming to show, Now that the men are
pretty well hardened, the work on new
plays and formations is the principal
feature of practice There is always
enough men out to scrimmage each
night and the men go at it hard for
80 minutes
More men are expected out next
week as a second team has been or
ganized and an endeavor is being
made by Manager Pollock to secure
several games. There are plenty of
men in school who will come out and
some Of the men now trying for the
will probably join it as all
can't make the first team. Games will
probably be scheduled with the local
high schools and one or two trips
taken.
The men who made touchdowns
are: Glasgow 1, Bayard 8, Spalding
[, Catlin and l goal; BUSINESS kicked
goals.

AGGIES TEST
STRENGTH TODAY

Coach Reuber's bunch OF Aggies will
get their first real test of the season
this afternoon when they meet the
Wahpeton Indians from the Indian
school at Wahpeton, N. D., at the base
ball park.
The A. G. has never met the Wahpe-
ton Indians on the gridiron before and
In fact the red skins from the south
have been playing the game but two or
three years. In that time however,
they have established a reputation for
themselves. Last year they came very
nearly defeating the Wahpeton Science
school team, which squad won from the
A c. team last year. This fact alone
gives pretty good idea of their
strength
The Wahpeton team will not be as
heavy as the Aggies, but what they
lack in weight they more than make
UP in speed and if they have learned
anything at all about the new style
of football they have should be able
TO give Reuber's men hard game.
At the present time the A. c. team
is not in the best possible shape. The
last evenings have developed two or
three bum shoulders and several
charlie horses" Keeney, the best
man Reuben had out for center failed
to make up some work and he is out
or the game for the season. This
caused the shifting of Olson from guard
to center. Lynch and Edwards viii
probably be holding down the guard
positions while Reuber and Schrader
will be started at the tackles. Reubsr
has plenty of good men for the ends
and the back field. At the present
time his real weakness is in the CEN
ter of the line.
The first athletic rally of the season
was called yesterday morning in the
armory at IL o'clock. Coach Reuben
did most of the talking and succeeded
In impressing upon the minds of the
students that the A. G. squad had to
win their first game of the season
and they would have to fight hard to
do so.

meeting yesterday and laid plans for
a league to be conducted during the
winter. The teams in the league will
be made up of teams representing the
A. C. "Y'' and the different mems or
CARNATIONS in the churches of the city.
An elaborate programme has been
made out for the league season which
will be brought to a close Jan. /, and
total of forty-five games will be
played The affair will end with a
presentation of a pennant to the lead
ing team in the league and a banquet
of all the members. The members of
the teams will have regulation suits
