ENGLISH BOXERS
 INVADE AMERICA

New York, October 2.-An invasion of the United States by quartet or English boxers is scheduled for the lat ter part of October, when Will Ames, London manager. intends to bring over Sid Smith, the cleverest of all Britlsh bantams; Sid Burns, flashy welter; Billy Marchant, said to be another Jem Driscoll in the featherweight ranks, and George Randall, a lightweight, who is boosted as not far behind Freddie Weleh and Wells in cfeverness. Smith seeks matches with Frankie Burns, Johnny Daily and Johnny Coulton. Mar chant wants to meet Abe Attell. The four Englishmen will have matches in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and New Orleans, boxing all corners.

TEAMS PROMISE
 GOOD FOOTBALL

Boston, October 2.-Early season rlaying by the eastern football teams has thus far been pleasing to critics of the sport. The big teams give prom ise of a high average strength, with no sign, however, of any really great eleven Conditions appear right for a series of closely contested and well played games when the big struggles come.
 All the colleges have been benefited by years experience with the rules and instead of the chaotic and erratic play of last year there probably will be a campaign marked by more con- sistency.
 Long runs, field goals and forward passes have been freely employed SC far this fall and if anything, the play has been more varied than last year or, to put 1t differently, varied witf better success than last year. The for ward pass is likely to be more freely used throughout the season.

TIGER COACHES
 NOT SATISFIED

Princeton, N. J., October 2.-The Princeton coaches are far from satis- fled with the work of the football team thus far. The offensive play in par ticular has noticeably weakened and the line is unable to afford the backs any sort of interference. The forwards are slow in getting started and fail to get into the plays with the proper spirit.
 The unexpected weakness may prove especially costly to Princeton's hopes this fall, as the backs as light even for Tigers and without a strong inter- ference will be unable to make head way against heavier elevens, such as Yale and Harvard.
 Princeton has not had a line plunging back of first rate calibre since 1907 and the efficiency of an eleven this year is largely dependant upon the possession of a heavy back field man who can not only hit the line hard, but who can throw taoklers and keep going. Princeton's backs, though light, are perhaps the speediest that have been seen here in sometime, but little pro- gress has been made toward finding a first class punter or drop kicker.

PREDS BACK FROM GEORGIA

| Anniston, October 2.-(Special. )-Coach | Hannon has returned from Georgia with his Predestinarians of the Alabama Pres | byterian college, and he says that he is
 not in the slightest discouraged over the
 showing made by the boys there; for he
 expected defeat. as the team had received
 only one weeks coaching, and some of the
 men not that much; and in view of this
 fact, he feels rather encouraged that the score was not any larger against him | than it was.
 1 The line up used against Georgia was
 the best available at the time, but the
 arrival of this week has placed an en- tirely different aspect on the chances of | the Preds, and Hannon says he does not l expect to lose another game, for with the return of big Archibald, the matricuation Of Creighton and Jenkins, and the return | of Brown, the team has been strengthened | wonderfully.
 In the next game Jenkins, the Tennes- see prep school boy, who is said to be | almost as good as Frank Allen, who also
 came to the college from that state, will | probably be used at full back, with
 Creighton and Boykin at the halves, Leach remaining at quarter Archibald and Freeman may be used as guards, with Underwood and Crosby at tackle, Brown
 and Campbell at ends Hannon will keep two back fields and four good ends, how ever, being able to alternate with advan- | tage under the new rules.
 Rabbit" Harris. who Is coaching the | Jacksonville pedagogues, is confronted Iwith largely the same problem that has made his master, Mike Donahue, famous that of developing diamonds in the
 rough' He has a wealth of fine material
 at the State Normal college, big, brawny | fellows from the farm, and he is rapidly | teaching his pupils the finer points of the game.

Tricks Will Win

Chicago, October 2.--Up to date tricks on the gridiron instead of old style tactics will win this season, in the opinion of A. A. Stagg, coach of the University of Chicago. After he had analysed Saturdays scores yesterday he made the prediction that the ola style tactics would not be likely to land any team on top this year. He attributed the good scores of some of the eastern teams to the presence of first class stars and the caliber of the beaten teams, but declared that old fashioned football would be relegated to the dis cards later in the season, when the championship contenders get together.

 Were you present when Tom Harri- son testifed?" q don't remember the name but remember that the engineer on the freight train that was in the switch testified"
 "Ill ask you whether the engineer testified at that time that Majors was in his hearing all the time?" Witness said that Harrison tesii. fled substantially to that effect
 Mir. Beddow cross-examined the wit ness at length and asked him ques- tions about the testimony of other wit nesses at the preliminary hearing ot Will Teague. which he answered satis- factorily.
 J. w McGill was put on the stand He stated that he worked for the Louisville and Nashville up to March, 1910 He testified to conversation with Harrison, the engineer, in which liar rison stated that Majors had no more to do with the wreck than he did. He did not recall Harrison saying that Na-
  they were at Cunningham.
 Met Harrison Near Jail
 On cross-examnation witness said that Bailey, himself and Allen met Harrison and the conversation took place; that they had been to the Jail to see Majors, and Harrison was go- ing to the same place.
 Ed Irving, the negro brakeman on No. 71, the freight train that was run into at Cunningham, was called next by the defense. He was examined by MT. King and stated that his home was at Columbiana. and that he was the head brakeman on No. 71 the night of the wreck. He opened the north switch for No. II, but did not see Majors as the train passed him.
 Witness testified that he got off the train as it stopped, on the fireman's side of the train; went. back to the caboose and inspected the cars back to the caboose; then came up into the engine.
 Was anybody in the engine?"
 Yes; Mir. Harrison and. if mistake not, MT. Nabors."
 Were they in the engine all the time 'Wel, I heard them talking while I was there"
 Witness stated that he walked rapidly around the train inspecting the cars and lost no time. When Majors left the train. witness said Harrison told him to go ahead.
 Where did you get off the train to throw the switch?,'
 T got off the gangway of the engine" Was Majors on the engine when you got off"
 Yes"
 MT. Morrow cross examined the wit ness tracing his acts since he got down from the engine to throw the north switch at Cunningham until he went back to the engine.
 Witness was not sure whether Majors was on the engine or on the gangway or on the ground, but his best judgment was that Majors was on the engine.
 Did you have any conversation with him?'
 "No."
 "You had heard No blow for New castle, hadn't you?"
 "Yes"
 "was it after that that Majors left the engine?"
 ,''Yes.v 1l1H AH 'fs N st
 He was away from the engine when the wreck occurred, wasn't he?' 2 Yes"
 How long was it after you heard No. blow that they struck?
 Three or four minutes"
 The cross examination of the negro Ed Irving was not completed, but will be taken up again this morning when court conyeneS at 9 30.
