which Ohio beat Michigan on placing
her kicks and lost as much as she
gained by the length OF the Wolver-
ines punts. Wells who did the boot
ing for the Buckeye team, worked by
signal. and his ends were always with
the ball Thomson sent long, low
kicks that gave Michigan's ends some
trouble in getting down under them.
The field was slow and II appeared
as II the men walked through their
plays instead of running.
Neither side was able to use the
forward pass with much success and
both resorted to end runs. That was
where Michigans poor judgment lay,
The Ohio State men played up In the
air. They fairly stood and IL would
have been a cinch for the Wolverines
had they bucked the line. Again In
the third quarter Michigan lost three
chances TO score by trying TO make
first down instead Of attempting a
goal from the field. A touchdown is
nicer and looks better than goal.
but 1t is just as we'll to gather in any
stray points while there Is time and
especially when the score 10 tied. In
tackling. the Ohionas had It on the
Wolverines, although Michigan made
more clean tackles. The o. 8. U.
men grabbed around the neck or by
the ear but they hung on no matter
where they got the man.
A stunt that Is the outcome Of the
new rules was worked by Ohio State
and proved a good one. The rules
forbid interference with an end go
ing down under q punt. The Buck
eye ends got around them very nice
ly. When a Michigan end started
down under a kick, they would run
back ahead of him and cut across in
front of him thus making the Wolv-
crime slow up. IL was as effective In
some cases as blocking. There was
some inquiry as to why the officials
did not stop it Coach Fogg OF the
Case team, who was on the side lines,
said that the same point had been
put up to Walter Camp at the confer
ence in Cleveland, and he could offer
nothing on II. The Ohionas had
new play. II consists OF a straight
buck by the quarterback. He re-
ceives the ball from the center and
follows him through the line while
the backs go around end. II worked
both times IL was tried but q penalty
was given for assistance on one OF
them. These plays are the workings
OF Howard Jones brain. He was

beat Michigan two years ago, he was
the power behind the gun. The root
ers OF both sides were Disguised at
the slow play but the Ohio boys cut
loose when Michigan failed to break
the tie They held night shirt
parade and enjoyed themselves like
true rah-rahs.
All OF the Michigan players say
they are going to do lot in the next
games. Yost doesn't believe IL.
First Baseman and Manager Frank
Chance drew a fine OF a few hundred
dollars from the National Commission
for his outburst against Umpire Con-
molly In Thursdays game. Chance said
Connolly spoke not the truth when he
said a ball landed in the permanent

amount OF the fine was not published,

tional Commission, said last night

TOO MANY BOSSES
HINDER MICHIGAN

ANN ARBOR, Oct 24.-(Special)
The Michigan team lacks spirit.
The men do not play together and
the head work is poor. There are
too many bosses. Yost has given Nc
MILAN the task of running the team,
yet Benbrook steps in at all critical
moments and asserts his right as
captain TO change the signals. He
has been warned many times about
this but pays no attention. No team
can work well where there are two
generals. Apparently there is no i'll
feeling In the team but the backfeld
are inclined to side with Shorty
and this doesn't add to the good fell
lowship.
The contest with Ohio was farce

Ing first base uncovered. while Mr..
Cole, late of the South Michigan

box and wondered what was coming
OF. Neither was the hero Jack Coombs,
who won two games more through
luck that skill.
The real, undiluted ginger stick OF
the whole parade is Eddie Collins. II
this man Collins can show anything
like as much during the championship
season of 1911 he will be SO far ahead
of any other athlete In the American
leagne for all-around sterling work
that he will be the unanimous choice
Of best ball players in the country.
In the contest OF Saturday, just by
way of illustration. Collins chased
into center field for a fly ball that
was only little distance in front OF
Strunk. because the recruit had been
throwing poorly. He nipped the ball
and cut loose q throw TO the plate

Chance was sticking To third.
A few minutes later Schultz went
into second base feet first just as Col

Thomas. Talk about riding the base

exhibition OF pitching In Chicago.
Sunday.
One thing was apparent through
out the series--the younger Athletics
possessed a greater amount OF speed
and hitting power than their older op-
ponents. The Cubs OF 1910 were not
the Cubs Of three years ago, while the
Athletics, bless them, have q better
team than Detroit ever owned.
John Coombs worked two games In
which his best asset, the straight
drop ball minus the curve, want
present. In the final contest he had
all the command OF that puzzling de-
livery that characterised his work
during the championship season.
When occasion required he buxzed
along a marvellous fast ball with q
big Jump. Tinker and Archer In the
fourth inning. Sunday. struck out with
the bases filled and the score one
each. With all due respect to Chief
Bender 1t was the stellar pitching
performance Of the series. After that
fourth inning Coombs had no trouble
and IL was only question of how
many runs the Athletics could get
being a cinch the Cubs would capture
none.
Mordecai Brown, on the other hand,
being Of many years, failed to 60 the
pace. He fiattened In the eighth in
ming when two singles, two doubles, q
base on balls, two steals and . Wild
pitch netted Ave runs. When the
pinch came the Cubs did not have the
speed nor skill OF the younger men.
1t was a terrific shock to the old
timers and to the fans of Chicago this
worlds series. The old National
league, through successive victories
over representatives of the American,
had come to look upon the Cubs a.
infallible. Like the Tigers during the
earth days of the 1910 season, they
believed II impossible for q crowd Of
youngsters to develop to the stage
where they could outclass what once
was the greatest playing machine
upon ball field.
But. the Athletics did II, they out
played their rivals In every way, and
today stand CHAMPIONS OF THE
BASEBALL world, and the best ball
club that has stepped into shoe leath-
er in recent years, at least.
The players were hampered greatly
by ground rules Collins deserved q
home run in the ninth inning Sunday,
as his drive would have rolled 80 far
Hoffman would have been lucky to
oyortake the ball before Collins cross
ed the plate. As II was. the Mackr>an

outfielders so they may know what the
pitcher is about TO throw. Every once
In q while when the pitchers faltered
Collins conversed with Ira Thomas In
the deaf and dumb signs; also he
kicked up a half-mile of dirt about sec
ond base and rubbed his hands to-
gether a thousand times. Otherwise.
he rested.
II this young man Collins could only
play one whole championship season
as he has worked in the series ne
would be the baseball wonder OF all
time. The best thing about Collins In
the fact that his brain Is quick and he
has the physical ability 10 carry out
his ideas. When he first came into the
American league, a raw collegian, he

Teams.

The Richmond Tigers. one of the
fastest teams that has played In the
city in recen, years. are getting down
to work and will put a strong eleven
In the field by the time the first seized
uled games Of the season are begun.
The Tigers were organized six years
ago and have had a strong team out
every year. Practically the same line
up as last year will make UP the eleven
and all OF the men are weii-known
gridiron warriors
Few OF the Tigers have ever work
ed with a coach. the majority of them
being men who have played football
on the back lots of Richmond and have
developed into fast players from OBJ
servation and hard work for number
OF years. Some OF the men have been
playing for as long period as seven
years.
The first big practice of the squad
win be held Saturday evening at Byrd
Park. Scrinmage work will be begun
In few days, and soon afterwards
the regular lineup will be picked
There will probably be a close night
for some of the positions.
Manager e. V. Blackburn. who has
managed the eleven for four years,
again holds the position. He stated
Saturday that he believed the Tigers
would put out strong eleven this
year and be able to clean up most OF
their opponents.
The captain has not yet been elect
ed. but the logical candidate for the
position 10 Olin Richardson who la
one OF the strongest men on the team
and viii make capable leader for
the eleven. Ii is the general impress
sion among the squad that Richard
son Will be the choice for the posi-
ton.
The most promising men who are
now with the squad are: Wheat and
Murphy. ends; Mcfarland. quar.er-
back: Paine. fnilback Richardson
halfback: Parsons and Augustine.
tackles: Carr and Caulder, guards
Manager Blackburn will nh In at either
quarterback or end when needed. Sa-
VILE, one or the strongest players In
the city. will be with the Tigers. but
win not play in the smaller games.
Whenever needed he will get in the
game and help the Tigers to win.
Manager Blackburn Is following the
example OF big coaches and arranging
for two set1 OF backs. There are six
sets and they win probably be used
alternately.
The Tigers have not yet secured a
coach. but Manager Blackburn 10 now
negotiating with o good man who will
be able 10 whip them into form In short
order. The new coach will probably
join the squad in a few days

For the third time since the Amer
ican Baseball League came into ex-
istence. in 1901. the Athletic club OF
Philadelphia has landed the pennant.
The Quakers have had no easy row
to travel this season. 1t was late In
the summer before they got into
their stride. but once there under the
able leadership Of their veteran man
ager. Connie Mack, nothing could
stop them In their march towards
the league championship.

the Cubs and Athletics has the fans
on edge. Every rooter. from the Of

championship OF the baseball world.
Travelling around. one hears on
every side discussions a. to the rola-
tive merits of Chicago and Athletic
teams collectively and individually.
Let US take little space and see
how the two clubs compare.
The Philadelphians have vet 10 es-
tablish reputation a. worlds series
contestants They were not overbur-
dened with night and vim when they
tackled the Giants and were defeated
by them In 1895. This h easy to ex-
plain. That year the Athletics had
one OF the greatest fights known In
baseball history before they finally
landed their league championship.
while the Giants had the National
pennant virtually won In the middle
Of September
Quakers were baseball tired and ffgu-
rativeiy all In. while New York had
strain Of holding their position NJ the
top OF the league.
In baseball II II not the phystcal
work that makes the players stale. but
the thinking part OF the game.
This year the Athletics are in bet
