CHICAGO IS COMING

Year, % to 6.
INDIANA Is THE LOSER
Few Attempts on Part of Either
Team to Use the Forward
Pass.

CHICAGO, October 7.-Universty OF
Chicago foot ball players were revenged
on the University of Indiana for it's de-
feat of last year and triumphed over the
Hoosiers on Marshall Field, % to 6, to-
day.
Two place kicks by Scruby in the first
two periods of the game, touchdown by
Norgren in the third period and two
touchdowns by Sauer in the final session
completed Chicago's scoring. Indianas
only score was the result of a blocked
kick, which Fleming intercepted and then
sprinted forty-five yards for a touchdown.
Few attempts were made by either team
to gain ground by use of the forward
pass. Chicago executing the only two sue
cessful plays of this variety. Wide end
runs and fake plunges through the lines
were the plays used mostly by the Chi
while Indiana relied upon
straight foot ball for it's gains.

throwing well. He is hitting just belt W
the 800 mark. which is considerably bet
ter than Snodgrass can show. On the
bases "Rube'' is one of the fastest of the
Athletics, and he is a splendid hit-and-
run man.
Murphy and Murray LOOK like abcI; IN
even pair in right field Danny is the
better hitter, but the New Yorker has
something on him in defensive play and
on the bases, though Daniel is by no
means slow himself. Murphy has a
great reputation as a pinch batter. and
American League pitchers say that he is
one of the worst propositions they have
to face when the Athletics really need a
safety.
Connie Mack seems to have more
brains in his catching department than
has McGraw in the person of Chief
Myers, but the Indian, for all his slow
ness of wit, is a fine backstop and one
of the most dangerous and hardest hit
ters in the National League. Thomas
has shown his mettle in worlds series
and so has Lapp, though worked less
than Ira last fall. Jack is a slugger
of purest ray serene, being worthy
rival of Myers in this respect. and much
more formidable than Thomas.
1t is difficult to dope out the pitching
because all curvers have their good and
bad days. Mathewson, Vanguard,
Wiltse and Ames of the Giants and Plank,
Bender, CoombS, Krause and Morgan
of the Athletics have pitched as good
games as ever were twirled. Coombs,
though he never has shown the con-
summate ability possessed by some of
the others, is a lucky pitcher, and
sometimes luck counts as much as skill
in base ball.

TEXANS ARE ANGRY
AT WALL STREET

The pride of Texas has been touch
ed by certain developments in Wall
street during the past year, and 1t Is
the intention of several prominent
Legislators to "get back" during the
session now beginning. Prominent
business men of the state declare that
a spirit of boycott has been noticed
in Wall street against Texas securi-
ties, loans and investments, because
| of the displeasure 1t feels regarding
certain phases of the Texas insurance
laws, The people are thinking of re-
| taliatlng by exempting Texan coun-
ty and city bonds from taxation SO
that home money may buy the bonds.
because the money drawn as interest
would be net profit. If the legislature
finds that 1t has not the authority to
enact such statute, constitutional
amendment will probably be submit
ted to the people for their ratification
| The state would be losing nothing by
exempting these bonds, as no revenue
is now being obtained from that source
because of the bonds being disposed
OF beyond the states limits. Good
business policy would prompt the sug.
gested change, as all the interest
money now being sent away from Tex
as would be retained at home and
spent among the home citizenship, to
the material advancement of the
states internal interests.

BURNING GROUND
CAUSE FOREST FIRES

One Of the strangest facts observ-
ed in the forest fires in the North and
West is the burning Of the ground.
Falling leaves, bark and twigs and
dying plant life gradually accumu-
late in the forests. The rains and
dense shade keeps the mass damp.
Mosses, in time, grow upon the sur
face of the decaying vegetation. The
half rotten accumulation settles down
and hardens. Trees spring up and
take their roots in the peaty sub
stance.
Then comes a season of drought,
and the dampness evaporates. A
huntsman, woodman or farmer builds
a fire or possibly railroad engines
drop sparks and slow cancer of
fire eats deep among the roots and
shoulders for months. Should q
strong wind spring up, the trees al
ready undermined by the fire, topple
over and the roots throw off sparks.
Flames burst out and with rapidity
spread throughout the forest.
A forest fire which occurred in
Northern Minnesota few weeks age
broke out in many places at once.
because many Of these subtereanean
fires were in existence and only
waiting for a wind which appeared
on October z. In this fire about 49,
600 square miles Of timber burned.
The villages Of Beaudette, with a
population Of 1900 and Spooner
with $50. were wiped out of exist
ence in an hour. Hundreds OF
''homesteaders," who were carving
their homes out Of the forest saved
their lives only by lowering themselves
into deep wells or plunging into
streams and pools. Thirty lives were
lost and 5000 persons were left homo.
