A. C.. FOOTBALL TEAM
SHORT MEN

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 27-The A. G.
football team will experience a grad
ual change in work from day to day
until the men are in good condition
for heavy scrimmage. On ccoun OF
the continual arrival Of new men the
work is comparatively light, consist
ing mostly Of kicking, running down
and catching punts, which. much atten.
tention is given the men to properly
start, also to fall on the ball. AS the
goal posts have been set up at the
park the best kickers Of h squad
will probably spend some time in kick
ing goals. The signals for the season
will be given out the last part of the
week.
Grant, last years center. has re-
ported to Coach Rueber for practice
while Breyer and Erwens are also ex-
pected. At present the squad con-
sists of about twenty-five men. This
number would be much larger II 1t
were not that the squad is limited to
thirty men on account Of military
drill, therefore the coach Is forced to
grant excuses only to the most like
" candidates. Many Of the old .men
have not yet reported Neverthe-
less it 10 an established fact that these
men will soon report In the best OF
condition. 80.
AS vet the strength Of the team still
remains a question for there are many
new men whose ability can not be
properly judged until the heavtes WORK
commences.

London. Sept. 27.-It is persistent

MACKMEN R THE e
CLASS IN

Looking over the American league
season one does not need to consult
q soothsayer to discover that the
Mackmen come pretty near being the
class Of the league. Take the Stats.
tics and figure from that. Detroit
leaped away to the lead of more than
a dozen games. This would be dis
heartening to any bunch but the
champs.
What's the answer? Away the
Mackmen plug, and on the Fourth. of
July they have dragged away that
lead and rode out in front. But the
Tigers are still on the job. The Ben
galeers romp away again to a lead
of more than five games. The Mack
ians stick to the job.
They pull away that margin and
then take a hand at a canter them
selves. Out in front now by ten

SULLIVAN OF SOX
CAUGHT 1,102 GAMES

Washington. Sept. 27.-William j.
Sullivan Of the White Sox. not John
g. Killing. the former Cub star, nor
Red Doom Of the Phillies. is the first
catcher to wear, the mask and pad
in l.l00 major league games.
The recent controversy over the
records of Killing and Doom and the
announcement that Killing probably
would be able to reach the 1000 mark
before the end Of this season, met Sui
ltvan's eye the other day and he inn
mediately made the remark that he
believed he had caught over 1000
major league games before the end Of
1910 In spite Of the accident which
kept him out of the game practically
all last season.
Sullivan and some Of his friends
consulted the archives of a local Of
flee and from the official guides of the
last thirteen years it was ascertained
that the Sox catcher was correct. He
had caught 1.017 games at the end Of
1910 and has caught "a games this
year. including yesterdays That gives
him a grand total of 1,1Ol.
Sullivan divides with Charlie Street
the distinction of standing beneath
the Washington monument and CATCH

nee.

NOTHING DEFINITE
TO BE SAID OF SERIES

From this time onward the baseball
bug will be arguing pro and con about
the worlds series. The closer this
classic contest draws, the hotter the
excitement. Money in plenty will be
wagered and each city will dig down
deep in its kicks to produce the where
Wlthal to owe the other fellows
monetary arguments. A true line on
the situation cannot be cleaned at the
present time. 1t will be the team
which is n stronger in all depart
ments of play during the short series:
the team whose condition is the better
and whose mind is the easier that will
win h money and the title. The
Mackmen are confident of winning,
likewise the Giants believe that they

conditions. it is just as we'll for the

fro mreports that have emanated from

teams did not meet last year. but each
swept away with ease the other
southern teams. Vanderbilt upheld
the honor Of the south again the east

The Army-Navy game on December
3 is always one Of the cards Of the
year and will again be SO this season.
The scene Of the conflict has not been
selected even at this late date but It
is probable that Philadelphia will
again get the plum.
The career Of the Carlisle Indians
once more will be watched with in
terest as comparisons of scores made
against them by the big college elevens
will furnish n way of doping u the
relative strength Of the teams.
Although several changes have been
made in the. rules. it does not seem
likely that the game will be noticea.
bly, different fro mthat which proved
such a success in 1910. Open field
play will probably win over straight
football and it seems likely to be
football for the spectator" through
out the season.

MAY REST
UNTIL BIG DOINGS

Big Chief Bender's illness should
not mean any car for the Philadel-
phia fans. The gallant warrior will
be on the Job when the time arrives,
and nobody need to, worry a bit. It
wouldn't be surprising If the chieftain
were used in one of the Detroit
games. or else he may be allowed to
rest right up till the start of the
worlds series. Bender, right, is as
big an asset for Connie and his bunch
as any Matty or Marquard that ever
breathed. His work in the opening
game of the last series paralyzed
Chance and his henchmen, who freely
admitted afterwards that they never
faced such pitching in the league race,

Cambridge. Mass. Sept. 27.-The

two squads were kept at work for
fifty minutes. The varsity got three
touchdowns in the first twenty min
utes Of play. The Harvard freshmen
came out for the first time with an
unusually heavy array of ffty-sevcn
men. The material is most promising
for a strong freshman team.

Base running is the forte which the

ton. They seem unstoppable, to coin
a word. Reduced to figures. the lat

from Detroit for the first time on July
4. The next day New York defeated
Philadelphia and the latter dropped to
second place. Detroit kept in front
until August I when the Athletics for
the second time jumped into first
place. Since then Philadelphia has
never been headed. The Philadelphia
ans have ten games still to be played

lost all ten while Detroit won eleven
the final standing would be Philadel-

hitting. Philadelphia drove Willett off
the rubber in three innings and also
hit Works delivery hard. Baker led
the slugging with two home runs and
a pair Of tWo-baggers in five times

probably a seasons record for the ma

runs cleared the right field wall. it be-
