MAY START BIG
SERIES ON OCT. IS
Cubs Advance Game With ST.
Louis One Day, Making
Probable Sunday Contest

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 81 Prospects
for Sunday game here during the
forthcoming Worlds Series here as
sumed a roseate hue. The lightning
change bringing JOY for local and mid
die Western fans followed a bulletin
from Cubs headquarters in which
President Murphy agreed to advance
the Cubs-Cardinal game, set for Oc-
tober 10, one day, thus ringing down
the National League curtain in these
parts, October Ia. Heretofore the lat
ter date has remained open.
At the American League headquar-
ters President b. B. Johnson reiter-
ated his ultimatum that the champion
ships must be set i'm motion not later
than October 10. That something def
mite as regards the dates will be
known shortly is the news passed
around by johnson. Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the National Com
mission, wired today to the effect
that a meeting of the baseball tri-
bunal would probably be held here
Monday, at which time the problem
would come up for final decision.
In the event the West Side manage
ment holds out against the further
advancement of the few remaining
games booked with st. Louis. Mama
ger Jimmy McAleer, of the Washing
ton Cubs, proposes carrying through
scheme which Will bring added
shekels and a bit Of daily exercise for
the American League flag winners.
McAleers idea is to put an all-snr
American League team made up Of
members of the Eastern clubs against
Mack's champions at Philadelphia In
four-game engagement, starting Oc-
tober IL.
The players sought by McAleer for
this enterprise include Johnson, Milan
and Street, of Washington; Ford, Of
the Yankees; Collins, Gardner,
Stahl, Speaker and Wagner, of Bos-
ton, and LANCE, of the White SoX.
These games will be staged in the
event the Cubs management by stick
ing to the present schedule, holds the
start Of the Worlds Series in abey-
ance until October II, for President
Johnson insists there will be no Sum

LEADS CLNCINNA III REDS

Cincinnati is coming in for much at
tention this spring, because of the
showing that Clarke Griffith made with
the club last season, when, with a
practically new team he had rivals in
the National league guessing every
time they went against the Reds, de-
spite the fact that there wasn't much
of anything around the club that
looked like pitching staff. This past
winter has been one in which any deal
to get a pitcher has been taken up by
Griffith. and as a result he has a pretty
fair staff, good hitters and a speedy
club Of good fielders.
Cincinnati was one of the charter
members of the National league, TAX
ing membership in 1875 and holding 1t
until expelled for failure to observe
rules. The franchise was returned to
the Ohio city in 1890, and it has beer
retained continuously since that time,
during which time John T. Brush and
August Hermann have been the presi-
dents. During all this league mem
bership Cincinnati has never won
pennant. Hopes have been raised high
at times, but the flag has never land
ed. For many years it was an adage
that to make good on some other club
a player had only to be released by
Cincinnati. Harry Steinfeld and Jeff

of the best combinations of hitters and

says that his eyes were opened a good

much about the big athletic meet, the
interest of the people and the fine en-
tertainmnt given him.
The meet was held Wednesday.

games. At the conclusion of the meet

ALL STUDENTS TO
TAKE ATHLETICS
Board of Education Plans Field
and Track Work for
High School.

Members OF the city board of educa-
ton are considering the advisability of
making efficiency in track and field
athletics one of the requirements in
the high school. following the lead of
Boston and other large cities of the
east. salt Lake has long been known
as one or the foremost cities in the
United States from an educational
standpoint, and the latest feature of
nlSn school work has appealed TO most
members of the board as a wise thing
for the students.
AT the present time there is a GER
tain amount of calisthenic work de-
manded both in the grade and high
SCHOOLS, as well as gymnasium work in
the high school. But it is now pro-
posed to insist that every student in
the high school take part in outdoor
athletics before he can obtain credits
for a years work This will cover
those who are not physically able to
participate in any of the track or field
work. This, however, would not affect
more than a dozen students in the
whole school of about 500.
Though the matter has been given
some attention, it has not progressed
far enough to determine any list of
events in which the students will be
compelled to contest or the required
acts to be performed before credits will
be severe, but will be merely for the
purpose of forcing all of the boys to
take part in outdoor athletics.
1t is believed that they will be better
able to handle the work in the class
rooms if outdoor work is INDUCED in
each day. For this reason, it is expected
that the plans will be fully developed
this year and that the new law of the
board of education will go into effect
at the high school this year in the fail
and will also be made one of the re-
quirements when the new east side
high school is opened.
"A sound body Is just as essential as
sound mind. and perhaps more So"
said a member of the board, in discuss
ing the matter. I'VE can teach the
young men and women what they are
supposed 20 learn in the high school,
but too often the physical side is over
looked. Give a man a sound body and
he will show more interest in develop
ing the mind. We may not be able to
get the matter into shape for some
time, but At will be one of the impor-
tant steps of the board in the near flu
ture."
Principal George A Eaton of the
high school is said to be much in IA
vor of the plan and will likely work
with the board in outlining plans for
the athletic contests in the high school.

last night. ben Kerscher, with his
Darracq, winner of the 1906 Vanderbilt
cup race, and perhaps another well

glad to hear that some of the local
people will put on races. Altogether

Asked about the Motordrome races at
Los Angeles, Mr.. Pickens said that the
meet, so far as the racing and records
went, was a big success, but accidents
to DePalma's and Robertson's cars and
holding Oldfield out of many of the
open races hurt the attendance.
In the match race, in which OIdfield
was defeated by Bragg, Pickens says
that Bragg drew the pole both heats
and with both cars going at the limic of
speed the track allowed, it was impos-
Sible for Oldfield 10 go round his man.
The races were on the last two days
and the track was slippery from the
oil from the cars. In the first day
Oldfield made the mile record at SO 2-5
seconds. mark that was not touched
later
Mr.. Pickens said that before he left
Los Angeles Jack Prince told him that
he was certainly coming to Salt Lake
to build a half-mile motordome. Mr.
Pickens will stay in Salt Lake until
after the local meet is held.
