Hard luck is camping on the trail
OF the New York Giants and the team
was a worried bunch when 1t re-
game Of the eason in this city.
Not only have the majority Of the
PLAYERS gone stale. but the illness of
Charley Herzog's mother may deprive
the team of the services Of its third
baseman in the worlds series.
Herzog received word from his
father during Wednesdays game to
come nome at once, that his mother
was stricken with paralysis and that
but little hope was held for her re-
covery. Should Herzog's mother die
just at the start Of the series or dur
ing the series the Giants will Just
about give up all hope for the worlds
championship.
With Herzog out Of the game, the
Giants would be forced to depend on
Arthur Devlin. who is just about all
IN. and the speed of the team would
be greatly affected. Speed is the
Giants greatest asset in the coming
battle and. with most Of the speed
gone. the Gothamites would he help
less before Bender and Coombs.

OF CUBS
MAKES

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Chas. w. Murphy,
president of the Cubs. has taken ex-
ception to the way in which his ball
players are being advertised as prob
able managers with other teams next
year. In a statement yesterday he said
there shall be a stenographer present
hereafter when n Of his players is
mentioned for a managership, to take
down notes to prevent misleading
statements finding their way into
print.
las a matter Of prudence. it's my
intention to be careful what is said
about any Of the Cub stars becoming
managers" said President Murphy. IF
any club owner wishes to talk with
me about securing one Of our athletes
as a manager the conversation must
be in the presence of a third person
and with a stenographer present to
take down just what is actually said
on both sides.
1T is very easy for a club owner
who seeks a star player as a manager
to say to that athlete: W. wanted you
to manage and would have gone to
any reasonable extent to get you, but
they wanted too much for you in ex-
change Nothing more need be said.
The club owner who covets the
star player as manager has thus sown
the seeds Of dissension in the star
players"

liant OFFICE IS
VERY BUSY PLACE

New York. Oct. within twenty
four hours after the announcement Of
the schedule Of games for the 1911
worlds series baseball championship,
application for seats came in in such
numbers that the offices Of the New
York Baseball club literally were
flooded with check-laden missives Fri-
day night. The demand was so over.
whelming hat extra clerks were en-.
gagged to attack the mountain Of mail.
The applications ran up into many
thousands.
In addition to the mail applications
hundreds Of local fans believing theS
could h u get in on the ground flooE
went to the offices, only to find that no
tickets would be issued until the ad.
vance sale begins Thursday.
The clerks bundled the letters in
packages of a hundred. stamped ac-
cording to the time of receipt to be
sure that the early applicants get first
chance. They were instructed particu,
larry to watch closely for application
that looked as though they might BID
from spectators as 1t is hoped to do
away with all scalping.

FORWARD PASS
IS BIG FACTOR
Under New Rules Almost
Impossible to Score By
Using Old Tactics
(Ry Andy Smith

Head Coach of the University of
Pennsylvania Football Team.)
The forward pass. as ha3 been dem
~onstrated in the fcw' comes played sc
FAR probably vii! be tho most import
ant factor In advancing the bail during
the season of 1911. II seems To me
that it would be almost safe to use
this play at n place in the field ex.
cept under the shadow of Eoar own
goal post. In which case should tho
defense catch the ball clearly they
would he in an, sAct:llenr position to
kick a field goal.
Under the new i'ulea it is almost i'm.
possible 10 score by the old rushing
tactics. Last yea most of the big
games where. the teams We're within
twenty-five per cent equal in strength
there was practically no scoring made
possible by the use OF former methods
The only scores were by the means OF
the field goad and the forward pass. A
reSume of the scores of last e a will
bear me out in this statement.
Use Forward Pass
The Yale-Harvard game resulted in
a tie. neither team scoring: the Penn
sylvania Michigan game the same;
Yale-Princeton. 5 to 3 in Yale's favor;
Princeton defeated Lafayette by a score
of 3 to 0 and the Navy by the same
figures beat the Army; the Michigan.
Minnesota game resulted in the score
Of s to O.
The Navy victory vas the result OF
a field goal. as was the a in Prince
Yale was made by the same play
Yale's victory. however, was the re.
suit of a forward pass as was Michi.
CAMS score of S to 0 over Minnesota
The results of these games show
clearly that unless of the contest.
ing teams tumble the ball or has a kick
blocked they would no have a their
goal line crossed other than by the
use of the forward pass.
OF course. they may kick a field
goal, but I believe that new rules
should show the game in a better. light
and hat this can be accomplished by
the free use of the forward pass.
1t looked strange to me as a spec
tator at the Yale-Harvard game to
see Yale make no use of this play
whatsoever while Harvard attempted
it but three times and then 1t was
crudely executed. believe these
teams could have played a game of one
hour periods and neither have scored
by the use Of the tactics they employ
ed.
At the present time the ball is
brought back to the place where II
vas originally put into play by the
passer's own team and in play counts
as an additional down in case of. an
uEcompleted forward pass. 1t can,
therefore. be seer that. the restrictions
have been almost eliminated.
Only Danger
The only danger in using the for
ward pass is in the defense catching
the ball Clearly. In case the ball is
touched by a player on either, side
and is allowed to fall to the ground
the play is considered uncompleted'
Under these rules it Is much safer to
use this pass as a means of advancing
the ball, and since it is. almost i'm
possible to score by the old methods
/ believe the coaches of the country
will design Ways and e of devel-
oping more thoroughly this feature OF
the game,

COLLEGE
OF BALL PLAYERS

Here's a little note which illustrates
the class of college men who are being
attracted into the ranks Of professional
baseball: Ensign s. Cottrell, the SYRIA
cuse pitcher who became a member of
the Pittsburg Pirates at the end of the
last college year. made a remarkable
scholarship record at Syracuse and at
his graduation from the engineering
school was credited with having OBJ
tained higher grades than any athlete
trelTs average for his four years of
college work was 93.7. and he had no
difficulty in winnin gthe prize awarded
annually to the athlete having the
best scholastic record. Cottrell was
a basketball as we'll as baseball player,
and he also went out for football.

ALFRED SHRUBB IS
GREATEST RUNNER

New York, Oct. ALFRED Shrubb.
the little English runner. has probably
run more long distance races than any
man in the world. To a t he has
competed in 2,002 races. OF this num-
her he was defeated only ten times.
II have been running for fourteen
years." he said recently. and feel as
strong now as the day I donned a
racing shoe. OF course. I haven't got
the speed and stamina possessed
while I was an amateur and hung up
my worlds records. but ] believe that
I can beat most of the young cham
pions yet"
Shrubb then said that he did no.. be-
lieve that Marathon races we're good
for runners. The distance is too far.
It saps the strength Of the athlete,
Inc in a short time crinrles him SO
that he is out Of competition in three
or four years. Races ct from ten to
fifteen miles Is the proper distance"
