SPORTING DEPARTMENT.
MeGRAW AGGRESSIVE;
MACK is SCIENTIFIC


John ]. McGraw VS. Connie Mack.
The dashing lighting, quick think
ing leader OF the Giants against the
cool, crafty and deliberate chief Of the
Athletics.
1t would be almost impossible TO
find any two types more widely separ-
ated than the two great commanders
who are directing the attack and de-
Tense OF Giants ana Athletics. in the
worlds series.
Should either fail at critical spot
and the other be keen enough TO take
instant advantage Of the situtiaon, the
tide could be easily turned then and
there, and with such force that a
heavy handicap might be swept away
or a short lead converted into a GER
tainty of victory.
McGraw leads in person. He is in
the front of every charge, leading each
attack. He believes in framing his
plan of battle as tho games goes along.
He hopes TO be ready for any turn
that might come up, ready to shift his
attack or defense at a moments notice.
Mack, as usual, directs from the
bench. lie Is not TO be seen while the
fight is i'm progress. Cool and clear
headed he figures largely in advance
maps out his battle plans before the
engagement begins-and stands for the
greater part upon this preparation.
McGraw is the more rushing fighter
of the two. His leadership is more
magnetic. In giving commands or in
administering reproof, his eyes fairly
snap and flash, while his voice cuts
and lashes like a whip. When his
people are at the bat he is the first
coach upon the line, either at first or
at third, as the occasion demands, and
from that point on he is master Of GER
emonies, not only signaling and di-
recting baserunner and batsman, but
close at hand to praise or blame his
player after the play.
Mack watching from the cover of
the bench. leaves more To his lieuten-
ant, and reserves comment until after
the inning is over. He has but little
10 say, and then issues his orders as
quietly as if he were ordering a bowl
Of soup or requesting a glass of wa
ter. His leadership is all repressive, |
held within.

COUNTY BOWLING
LEAGUE FORMED
SIX TEAMS ALREADY ENTERED
AND TWO OTHERS PROBABLY
WILL BE ADMITTED TO
MEMBERSHIP.

At an enthusiastic meeting of re-
personalities of bowling teams i'm diff
ferent parts of the county, held at tn,
Calumet Social club last evening, tn,
preliminary organization of a Copper
Country Bowling League, n county or
ganization, was perfected. From tho
spirit manifested by the bowlers, there
is not the least doubt that the league
will be one of the best in the history OF
the copper country.
Six teams were represented, Han
cock by Il. J. Mitchell Houghton by
Y. T. TrelOar; Mohawk by r. j. Mart
in; Hubbell by DIR. Paul NJ. Tofte; the
c. & IL. by Mart Christensen and the
Calumet Social club by DR.. r.. Allen,
Z. III. Manger and John Sweeney. Fred
J. Martin of Mohawk was selected as
chairman and Il. j. Mitchell as secre-
tary, these officers being temporary.
Although ut present there are only
six teams in the league, applications
were received from several other
teams, among them South Range The
South Range bowlers expressed their
willingness to play all of their games
with Calumet teams at Houghton, thus
saving the local bowlers the long trip
To South Range. IL is likely that two
other clubs will be admitted, possibly
Lake Linden, the Calumet Eiks, the Y.
NJ, c., making the league an eight
club organization.
IL was decided that the teams will
be limited to eight eligible men, whose
names will be furnished to the secre-
tary before the first game. This will
prevent the teams from strengthening
after the season has progressed.
Each team will be expected to play
one game each week, and the schedule
VIII provide for games for fourteen
Weeks. Mart Christianson, DR.. Paul
Iotte, 7. +. Treloar and John Sweeney
were selected as "A schedule committee.
Ihoy will meet at the Calumet Social
Club rooms at o'clock THURSDAY even
ihg' oct. 26, and it is expected by
'hat time that all of the clubs in the
league will be definitely determined

Hahcnt officers will also be selected.

MURPHY SCORES PASS.
Veteran Penn Trainer Believes For
ward Pass SpoiIs Game.

Philadelphia. Pa. oct 19.-"MjlSe"
Murphy, the veteran football trainer
is convinced the forward pass is poor
football.
"The point make against the for
ward pass" says Murphy lis that It
Is a violation OF the elementary prin-
ciples OF football. 1t never was or
will be anything but haphazard play
and II DISCREPANCIES any teams de-
fense.
Il have always contendcd that what
football spectators like to see Is the
ball moved down the field by n series
OF well-executed plays olcvcrly de-
signed and operated. The basketball
feature. in which the ball is thrown
all over the field and passed back and
forth from one team 90 another Is
certainly not good football I would
like to see a return TO some Of the
principles Of the old game"

AS a result Of football games played
so far this season there is every rea-

In the east it looks like Yale or

severe set back and narrowly escaped
defeat at the hands of Lehigh, which
held the Tigers to a to score. The
exact strength of Harvard cannot yet
be accurately determined, but the
showing which Yale has made i'm its

ton possesses a concentrated and di-
versifed attack, while the old New
