PHILADELPHIA, October S.-The final
arrangements for handling the ticket

complished at yesterdays conference be-
tween John A. Heydler, representing the

that there is hardly any possibility of

WESTERN ELEvENS BUSY.
Foot Ball Will Be Played by All Big
Teams Today.

CHICAGO. October S.-Conference foo,
ball will monopolize the gridiron spot
light in the middle west today. Every
'big eight" team will be in action for
the first time this year, and it is expected
that much data will be forthcoming or
the new rules. The Chicago Indiana
game at Marshall Field will be the most
important contest in the opening of the
western season.
The local battle and the Northwestern
Iowa game are the only ones in which
two 'big. eight" elevens are concerned,
but the other members Of the western
body will meet worthy early oppo-
nents.
Minnesota will appear in its third game
of the year, playing Ames at Minneapo-
lis. Illinois is likely to roll up a fair
score against Drake at Urbana, and Wis
consin expects to win from Lawrence at
Madison. Purdue and Wabash are sched-

= The announcement by Manager McAleer
that Herman Schaefer would he retained
by the local club came as a surprise
TO many of the fans who had been led
to believe that Schaefer was carded to
sever his connection with the local team
at the end of the present season. Incl
dentally, the patrons of the game mere
were pleased. for it has been questionable
In the minds OF the Nationals well-wish-
ers whether it would be wise move to
part with the good-natured German.
There is no doubt that up to few
weeks ago it was as good as settled that
Scllaefer would not remain in fast COM
pany. 'McAieer did not believe that Ger
many could help his team any. In fact,
McAIeer was under the impression that
Schaefcr was all in, so far as playing
major league base ball was concerned.
But Schaefer broke into the game few
weeks ago and surprised McAleer with
his ability Not only did he show class
as hitter. but he displayed great knowl-
edge of the game, and McAleer decided
10 hold on to him.
.'Schaefer knows base ball, there is
no doubt of that He is always helping
his team in some way or other. and for
tina, reason l think ii best to hold on to
him." said McAleer. He is a splendid
utility man, because lie is fast on his
feet, and can play either the in or out
field satisfactorily.
II don't know of any player in this
league who knows the game better than
Schaefer. He takes advantage of every
opening, and has shown such good form
of late l believe he will be of great value
TO US in the future"
That "Three-Fingered' Brown one of
the star twrlers of the Cubs is rounding
into his best form and will again cut
decided figure in the worlds series is
conclusively shown by his splendid per-
torrance against the Pittsburg team yes
terday. Manager Chance seems to be get
ting his best pitchers ready for the series
with the Athletics. To date there have
been but few brilliantly pitched games by
the Cubs twirling staff, but during the
last week the pitchers began to show the
form they will have to display in the
big series in order TO stand a chance to
win a majority of the games.

May to accompany Susie and her par

better cause to remember the resolu
