1.-The pitching problem Is again

others. Schmidt will not be with
the club in 1912. Joe Casey may
also be missing. Casey will have
to fight for his job. Kocher and
Onslow, two backstops who be-
long to Detroit and who are in
the minors for development this
year, turned out to be stars. If
they can show some of their
ability in the big league they will
crowd Joe out of his berth. The
club will not carry more than
three catchers."
Bill Sweeney of the Boston Ma
tionals is being touted as the
Reds next manager. A report
from the Rhinelanders' camp says:
Sweeney of the Boston club is
the most likely candidate for the
vacant post as manager of the
Reds, and the chances are that hes
will be officially named within
three weeks, probably at the time
of the National League meeting In

his release from the Boston club,

Pal Brown, the husky Minnesota 100
FOUNDER, who had several fights at New
Orleans recently, and who was credited
ing an heiress, has no thought Of giving
up the game. The fact Is that Pal after
his trip to the south, returned home to
spend few weeks with his parentseand
to do some hunting, after which he will
be prepared to 60 east and tackle the
eastern lightweights. Pal writes me that
he will train about ten days at home and
then start east. stopping in Milwaukee OF
Chicago to box week or ten days and
then travel east. He wants to meet the

Breaking Tie for First Place.

Touchdown by Fullback Pierce
Gave Maroon the Victory in the
Third Quarter.
NOW TIED WITH BADGERS

| MARSHALL FIELD, Chicago, Novem-
Der 25.-Chicago pulled Wisconsin out of
| the first-place tie in the western foot ball
conference by winning from the Badgers
| here today. The score was to o. A
cago the victory. Scruby failed to make
| it in his try for goal, An unyielding
Maroon line prevented the Wisconsin
team from scoring in a situation exactly
like that which profited the Chicago team
not more than five minutes before the
score was made. It was Wisconsin's only
opportunity for a touchdown.
BY matching Moll's punting with that
of Scruby, by successfully blocking all
the Wisconsin quarterback's clever in
dividual playing, and by putting forth
q stancher line and sure backfeld. Chi
cago lifted itself out of third place in the
conference to tie with the badgers for
second.
During the first period the ball re-
manned within 10 yards of the center OF
the field, except when punts carried 1t
away. In the second period Sauer and
Kennedy for Chicago changed positions
at halfback, Sauer going over to the
right side. Scruby missed 4O-yard
to the center Of the field. The remainder
of this period was played for the most
part in the middle Of the field.
The third quarter was the scoring
period. For Wisconsin, Butler played
right end, Alexander right half ard Hoef-
Eel left end. On shift plays that made
it difficult to determine who had the ball
and where. Sauer plunged through guard
for yards. Sauer made 2 yards more
Pierce, smashing into the Wisconsin left
tackle, knocked that individual fully a
rod back of his own goal line and brought
the ball to earth for touchdown.
Scruby failed to kick goal.

of the year will be seen when the men
finish.
ALI arrangements have practically been
made for the race. 1t is to be over a
course which is almost exactly ten miles
and which does not include any rough
going during the entire distance. The
runners will probably find that it is the
best course travelled by them in any of
the recent long-distance affairs.
Many Entries Received.
Every club which has ever been iden-
titled with long distance running win send
in entries for the event Each of the
local organizations will have every one

for there should be no rngside weight

Gibbons would make q great match for
the American title at IA pounds at 3
o'clock, and as the Dixie Kid is cleaning
up all the welters in England he will no
doubt come back with the title of that
country at his belt. Clabby cannot make

he was wise to announce his intention of
