BIG FOOTBALL SCORE SURE.
Rule Allowing Players to Return to
Game Helps Large Universities.

Rule Allowing Players to Return TO
Game Helps Large Universities.
Are we about to revive the days Of big
football scores, similar to those made
when Hurry Up" Yost of the Uni
versity of Michigan was in his prime?
1t certainly looks so. One year it was
the boast of Michigan that her team
had scored a total of more than 500
points in a single season, one game
alone netting something in excess of
100 points. There is small likelihood
that the present season will witness
anything so extraordinary as this. but
the new rules are conducive to big
scores.
The particular rule which is likely to
produce this condition of affairs is that
which permits a team to remove a
player in one period and then allow
him to return to the game once during
the succeeding period.
The big college elevens are the gain.
ers by the new rule regarding substi-
tuition. 1t takes lot of scurrying by
the minor colleges to get together a
football squad of more than a dozen
ablebodied young men. The new rule
regarding substitution will bring lit
tie relief to them, because they won't
have the men to substitute. One of
the games on Franklin field last year
furnished an illustration of this. The
University of West Virginia was the
opponent. Two of the southerners
players fell by the wayside during the
game, and, as there were only thirteen
men in the squad, this used up the
available supply of substitutes. In the
second half two more players, one OF
them a substitute himself, had to quit
the game. West Virginia was in q
quandary and in it's dilemma sought
aid of Pennsylvania by making the
unusual request that the players pre-
viously removed from the game be al
lowed to return. The request was
granted and the incident published far
and wide as an example of good sports
manship
The amendment will, of course, aid
the small colleges, but not in the same
proportion that it will their big rivals
Under the new dispensation the coach
es of the big colleges will use from
two to three elevens during a game
They will not be afraid to make sub
stitutiOns, because they will know that
if n new player fails to make good he
can speedily be removed and replaced
either by another man or the veteran
who has already been in the game.

Strong Points of Cubs
and the Athletics.

Each club has its strong points. The
game and aggressive Chicagoans are
the greatest baseball machine in the
games history. In baseball brains the
team has no superiors. The catching
staff is the best in the country. Then
the Cubs have the courage born OF
confidence. They have been winners
in the worlds series and feel like win
ners. This habit of thought will be a
powerful factor in their favor. In the
estimate of baseball men Connie Mack
has a peerless pitching staff. and he
has just the right combination of vet
Grams and new bloods to make his ma
chine dangerous.
In tackling the Athletics the Cubs
will meet an evenly balanced team.
speedy runners, strong in fielding and
batting and with one Of the best pitch
ing staffs that has ever landed a pen
nant for a club in either league. In
the Cubs the Athletics will face a team
that has been credited with being the
brainiest set Of players ever seen to-
gether on one team, a club that has
always been among the topmost in bat
ting. fielding and base running and the
strongest defensive combination In ei.
ther league.

HISTORY OF WORLDS SERIES

The worlds series will be
staged In October. and II will
be the sixth clash between Amer
lean and National league cham
pions.
The Boston Americans won
the first series from Pittsburg
in 1908 The New York Nation
ais beat the Philadelphia Amer
leans In 1905.
The Chicago Americans scored
over the Chicago Nationals In
1906. The Chicago Nationals
then turned In and redeemed
themselves by whipping the De-
troit Americans twice. Last year
the Pittsburg Nationals beat the
Detroit Americans.
This makes four wins for Ma
tional league teams and two for
American league representatives.
The Chicago team of 1910 Is
practically the same ball club
that lost the worlds champion
ship to the Chicago Americans
In 1906 and won 1t twice from
the Detroit Americans in 1907
and 1908.

TWO IMPORTANT PARTS IN CUBS MACHINE
is no slouch in any respect and will
come nearer TO the Hoffman standard
than Lord will to the Sheckard stand
ard. Schultz grades right up with
Holman and Sheckard, is a faster and
more finished outer picket than Muir
ply, but no more dangerous with the
bat. The Chicago trio are the better
base runners.
In leadership Of the two teams there
is no apparent advantage one way or
the other. Mack possesses quite as
much acumen as Chance.
The only one big advantage the Ath-
letics have over the Cubs is in the
pitching department. The Chicago
team has the better backstops, their
infield has a shade on the Philadelphia
quartet, and the Cubs suburban trio
outclass the Mack men. The Chicago
twirling staff is not weak by any
means, and no doubt Manager Chance
win have his pitchers in fine fettle by
the time the series starts so they will
be able to twirl first class ball. Con,
sidering that the Cubs have these three
great advantages over the Athletics
also figuring. too. that they have been
so long together that in harmony OF
effort and mutual understanding they
are the smoothest working baseball
machine in the country, they should
win the series from Philadelphia.

bet.
Baseball is such an uncertain game

wins four games-is practically the
same as one game. By that mean

lnfields Of Two Clubs Are
Of Stonewall Variety.

Both have crack infields. Chance,
Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt form a
tried and reliable quartet that was
good enough to pilot Chicago to two
worlds championships and four pen
nants. In fielding. batting and gen.
.eralship the four men are superb. The
Athletics infield is not as old as Chi
cago's, but the four men have been as
sociated with each other long enough
to work together with precision and
harmony. 1t is a wonderful lnfield In
every way. the very best In the Ameri.
can league.
Now let's look 'em over. Chance is
n better fielder than Davis, but at that
there are few that have anything on
the Philadelphia first baseman. At
second both teams have stars, Evers
and Collins being the twinklers. The
latter will outhit the Trojan. or at
least ought to do so, and probably will
field just as well as the boot and shoe
merchant from Troy. At short the
Cubs have the advantage. Tinker Is
Barry's superior as fielder and as q
long hitter. but the Holy Cross boy is
q clever performer nevertheless and
in a short series might play every Bit
as well as Evers' side partner.
Baker of the Athletics is Steinfeldts
superior both in batting and fielding
The Marylander is much younger than
his Chicago rival, and youth must be
served Baker is not the finished field
er that Steinfeldt is, but turns more
sensational plays. Baker is terribly
hard hitter and is more likely to break
up q game than is the Texan.

Cubs OutfieId Superior
to the Athletics.

The Chicago outtield is superior to
the Philadelphia suburban trio. Lord
isn't as scientific hitter as Sheckard,
doesn't cover as much ground and isn't
so good a thrower. Hoffman in center
is the best center fielder in the game
today. He is a splendid thrower, and
his speed and certainty on fly balls
make him a treasure at cutting off
long hits. He is a better all around
fielder than Oldring. but the latter
