Football Really Starts This Week Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Princeton Get Under Way
 by Saturday

Football, which sprouted on Satur- day, will be in full bloom by the week end. Every member of the so- yet very important elevens will take the field, meeting every degree of weaker opponents. Also, rather inn portant games will in many cases be played between minor teams. Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania will play on Saturday, Cornell, Dartmouth and Yale will get under way on Wednes- day.
 CornelPs opponents on Wednesday will be Allegheny. Of course the match will be played at Ithaca. Yale meets Wesleyan, Dartmouth has Nor wich, which game will also be staged on the home gridiron of the larger team. The Carlisle Indians, who fnal- treated Lebanon Valley on Saturday, will take on Muhlenberg. Down at Bethlehem Lef1igh may show wheth- CT or not she is to trouble Princeton on Oct. il. Lehigh tackles what re- mains of Lebanon Valley.
 Scrimmaging will start in earnest this week at most of the big colleges. Early season injuries have not long been a bugaboo to most coaches and nothing will be left undone to send teams on the field on Saturday as hard as it is possible to make them at this time of year. Off hand it does not look as if very serious opposition was in store for the big teams on Sat- urday. Yale meets Holy Cross; Har- yard, Bates; Pennsylvania, Gettysburg and Princeton, Stevens, Cornell how ever is called upon to face Colgate, al- ways a trouble maker. Brown meets New Hampshire and Rartmouth takes on the Massachusetts Agoies Down at Easton an interesting match should be seen. Lafayette meets Ursinus Both are notorious trouble makers.

LEACH GROSS FIGHTS DRAW WITH TOM MAHONEY


 Leach Cross and Tommy Maloney fought a fast ten round draw at the Fordon Athletic club, New York last night Cross had the advantage of the milling in the early sessions, with the honors turning toward Maloney in the second half.
 Cross had all, of his sleep producing wallops in the first rounds, but the sting in his blows disappeared as the fight progressed. Maloney, on the con- trary improved under early punish ment that forced him to hang on to keep his feet.
 Cross was slow to work in the fourth and gave Maloney a. chance to recov- CT his strength. Maloney profited by the rest, and sent in many hard lefts to Cross face. Cross evened up the session with hard rights to the jaw that caused Tommy to double up. In the clinches.. Leach played for the stomach

DahIen To Lead
 Brooklyn 4 Years
Superba Manager Gets Increase of Salary in His New
 Contract

Pittsburg. Sept. 25.-.Bad BilP' Dahlen will manage the destinies of the Brooklyn Baseball Club for the next four years. commencing in 1912. Dahlen yesterday affixed his sigma ture to the long term contract tend cred him by President Charles H. Ebbets, and thereby secuted rumors emanating from Dodger headquarters to the effect that a new manager would be chosen.
 Ebbets is highly satisfied with Dah- Ien's work since he took command of the Dodgers. Ebbets holds that it is through no fault of Dahlen himself that the team is not higher up in the race. Petty grievances are given az the cause for the poor showing of the Brooklyn players. Ebbets, it is said has remedied this by. boosting the salaries of majority of his hire Iings.
 It is understood that Dah1en will receive a substantial increase over this seasons stipend. Dahlen's salary lis not mentioned.

Princeton game, is again on hand. 1T he can outstrip Reilly or Philbin he will probably be captain of next sea sons Yale team, as he is the only sophomore who got his Y last fall.
 But there doesn't seem to be any reason to believe that he will at the present writing. At full back Ander- son seems likely to win out, He will probably get the call on other can didates because, of his kicking ability. Experience has taught Yale the value of a bunting, drop kicking man in. the back field, and as neither Philbin, Reilly, nor Baker are expert toe art ists, Anderson's claims are greatly strengthened. The sophomore has good ground gaining ability, is fast on his feet, and infallible in. catching punts. His closest rival is Church, the Old Exeter player. Church is sturdily built and knows the game of football. He has been out for the team for three previous years, and there are many who hope he'll get a this season.
 Capt. Arthur Howe will again be found at the quarterback position, and from the present outlook he won't be under the unpleasant necessity of getting off his punts and forward passes from behind the Yale goal line. as frequently happened last sea- son T

Connie Mack Is Not Afraid That
 Giants Will Win
Athletics Manager Says Mo. Graw's Men Won't Steal
 Bases on Thomas

Philadelphia Sept. 26. - There has been a lot of talk to the effect that the Athletics fear the Giants base-run- ners in the worlds series of 1911. Yes terday Connie Mack made few re- marks on the subject. He said:
 "All this talk about the base run ming of the Giants makes me laugn. The Giants stolenGbases are not wor- ryinr us a bit. When was a world s series won by base-running? Never. Worlds championships are won in the pitchers box and that IS where we are going to show the advantage- Base running? It makes me laugh. It's joke.
 we are going to be stronger lnsthe box this fall than we were a year ago. Then we had two pitchers, now we have five in Coombs, Bender, Plank, Morgan and Krause. Yes. Krause. There Is one great left-hander now. He has finally developed into a good curve ball pitcher, and is as good a left handler as there is in the league. Just keep your eye on him. He never nao a curve ball until lately.
 Ira Thomas? That's man I like to talk about. Worlds series are just like ordinary games to him. You simply cannot get him rattled. He has no nerves and the tighter the pinch, the DGtIef ne likes It, Uxsiih on Ira That's all there is to 1t. If you will remember, he caught the only game for Detroit that Detroit won from Chicago in two worlds series. and it was the only game he caught for the Tigers in those series at that. And he had a sore arm then. too. And before we played the Cubs last fall we heard how King was going to -ehow Ira up. Did hep
 Asked if there was any truth in the rumor to the effect that he was going to retire from the management of the Athletics and become president of the club, Connie replied:
 1T do not see lfow that rumor start ed. Nothing is further from the truth. T am working for a living and man. aging a baseball team is my work. am not the rich man many say am. Every cent I have is tied up in the Athletic baseball club and plant, and I hope to continue manager until the stockholders fire me. Even if I were a rich man. would not voluntarily re- tire from the management, for love the job. would not feel at ease in any other position" V

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS. In Dry State-Increase in Consufnp-
 ton of Alcoholic Beverages.

"The impossibility of prohibition is shown conclusively by the fact that all men go up in the afr--be they pro- l1ibekionists or -pFohibitionfsts, be they ministers or laymen-if you 1sus- gest that prohibitory laws, if adopted at all, should not only prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic bev- erages, but should prohibit the pur- chase, possession, and use of such beverages; and this because no man is willing to have the law prohibit him, however anxious he may be for it to prohibit others.
 "As long as people are free to buy and use liquor, 1t will be made and sold: and until a large majority Of the people are willing to vote in favor sof prohibiting the purchase, posses sion, and use of liquor, it is idle to adopt laws prohibiting the manufac- tupe and sale, because such laws will be nulnfied, as they are to-day. {. by ninety per cent of the very peopis who vote for them.
 "We have prohibition, so called, m over one-half of this country, geo. graphically, and;i ;iTwe have had 41sar1- dreds and thousands of sp-called temperance campaigns, and these campaigns have cost in the aggregate hundreds of millions dollars, ana they have brought about the most unfortunate divisions in society. turn ing father against son and brother against brother, they have resulted in the destruction of millions Of private property without compensation, they nave destroyed tinn the aggregate hun- dreds of millions of revenues. ana they have developed, as no other movement has ever developed, a dis regard for law in our various States and yet, when we refer to the records the records that are indisputable Ito discover the fruits of this long drawn-out and most expensive agita- ton, we find that the per capita, con- sumption of whisky and beer has not decreased, but, on the contrary, it' has increased in proportions as remark- able as the increase of the so-called dry territory.
 s.F'ifteen years ago our per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages, carefully figured in proportion to our population at that time, was about fifteen gallons, whereas to-day it fig ures close to twenty-three gallons; and if this agitation is continued along the present lines, and If the larger proportion of the people are compelled to do what the people in States like Kansas, Oklahoma, Maine, Georgia, and North Carolina are doing that is, keep a supply of liquor in every home-this per capita consunp- tion will undoubtedly become larger in the future

Red Waller, Jr., the we'll known and popular mascot of the Bridgeport club, is thinking of going on strike ion. He is out for shorter hours more pay and more ice cream cones It was suggested to Red that the present time is bad for strikes be- cause there is no crying demand fol mascot now. Some of the fans think Red furnished so much bad luck. last season that he ought to stand for a cut in salary and be farmed out to the Shoulder Steak league.
 Ray Fisher, the former Hartford finger, came through for the New York Americans yesterday when he beat the Chicago White Sox by z to 3. Fisher was hit hard by Lord and McCornell, who gathered five of the nine hits.

 Chicago used three pitchers to down the lowly Bostons. Ritchia, Cole aild Brown were hurled against Tenneys tailenders before the battle was won by to 5.
 Senor Almeida continues to lam bast that ball. Of the four hits Cin- cinnati secured from Crandall, the former New Britain starr got two.
 The past season hit the minor leagues so hard that the Connecticut leagues financial showing is consid- cred good by those on the inside. The Three Eye league had terrible time. Danville lost sI1,000, Quincy $10.000. and Decatur $3,000. The, players of the Rock Island team were not paid for a period of nine weeks and the Waterloo club also went in the hole. No attempt will be made to keep the circuit next season and a new league will probably be. formed in that ter ritory.
