NOW IN
CENTER OF STAGE

AS the 'sere and yellow leaf stage
OF the seasons transition ONE upon
us, there may he some doubt as to the
continued interest in ba seball. Or il
may be that up in his part of the
country We have come used to the
earlier closing of the, national sport
and permit our interest to gradually
wane.
There has been much discussion
relative to the long and short base
ball season. In Chicago at the present
time perhaps some. of the sere1y dis
appointed fans are thoroughly in fla
Nor OF the shor season. On the other
hand perhaps il may be that the fans
of Il Gotham are eagerly awaiting
the time for the beginning of the
worlds series.
But. with football crowding in. the
wings in carly October there is at
least Il strong rival to baseball cianl-
orlnG for the center of the stage.
Baseball is a game so c~nerossinS that
i'll its season VIC generally give our
selves up to it in undivided. attention.
Therefore there are those who hold
that it is rather selfish for the mag
mates of the larger .leaSues.to crowd
games u the cooling month of Oc-
tOber.
October. generally marks the be-
ginning of the winter sport program
us well. The lateness of the season
for the holding of the annual worlds
championship series may be me of the
reasons why some of the various man.
ayers and the members of the national
commission have been disappointed
in the ~n0a figures.

ANSON AND SUNDAY
GIVE

Philadelphia, Oct. captain Pop"
Arson and Rev. Billy Sunday. former
stars of the diamond are both of the
opinion that the world series games
this ear are going to be hard fought
and closely contested. Arson leans
slightly to the Athletics while Sunday
is of the opinion that the Giants have
a shade. The once-famous leader Of
the old Chicago National league team
says it is an S-to-10 bet, with you
picking YOU choice with him on the
other end. He says that Connie Mack
has a we'll balanced team and that it
will be hard to beat. On the other
hand he states that the Giants are
strong and going good. According to
Arson much will depend on the work
OF. the pitchers. Rev. Sunday thinks
that the Giants are stronger in pitch
ers. if Mathewson and Vanguard are
in fine form. and. he also labors under
the impression that the Giants know
more about inside bail than the AtIr-
lctics. Sunday ocs not underestimate
the strength of Connie Mack's club.
He declares that the Athletics are fast
feeders. good hittcrs and swift on the
bases.

OLD STARS WOULD
NOT KNOW GAME
Football Has Been Made
Much Faster BY Many
New Rules
(By Andy" Smith.)

Or any Of the football players of five
to fifteen Years ago been lulled into

last season of football and then should
suddenly be awakened amidst Il multi

gan, Yale-Harvard or y Yale-Princc-
ton football game in the season of
1911. they would look on in wonder
at the changes that have taken place
since they themselves had carried the
pigskin.
They would have found the spec
tators applaudipg for. the individual
play. the fast end run, the whirlins;
forward pass. or the .treacherous on
side kick instead of the steam roller
tactics used in their time.
Hare would find that the new rules
would not permit his old guards
back" play that made him the terror
of the Harvard line in the seasons Of
1891 to 1900; Edwards would have
mourned with piteous regret that the
legislature of the new rules were such
that hc would not bc able to pick up

exponent: Cults would wonder how

In other words, they would find the
game of football as played at present
retains but few of the tactics employ
cd in advancing the ball that were
used ten years ago.
1t would, indeed, look strange to
these great stars to see the ball flying
through the air most of the time.
either through the use of the Forward
pass or the onside Rick. They would
find that the coaches were. developing
faster, swifter and more active men
rather than the heavy. strong, batter
ing men of their time.
There is no doubt that these men
would still be valuable to the modern
team, but their playine. the plays i'm
which they starred. would not stand
out as the backbone of the offense.
The coaches look upon such men as
%Spracklins of Brown. Pcndleton of
Princeton and Mercer of Penn as their
mainsprings and depend upon tricks
and unusual PLAYS where sneed and
gcnernlshin are M y premium in adj.
yancinr the ball.
In fact. the game has deve,oped tn

assisting Of the runners succeeded in
finally winning by the score of 1911.
! consider this feature Of the old
rules the only one that may be pre-
ferable to the new. AS soon as the
spectators become educated to the de-
cisions of the officials of the game,
and by being able to understand ex-
actly what each player is trying to do,
and since they have a clear view of
tn ball most OF the time, they will
appreciate the new game to. a far
greater extent than the game played
under the rules Of five years ugo.
These new rules have been in. vogue
but a single year. During the coming
season the student of football will
bring out plays and means of advanc.
ing the ball that were never even
thought Of in the past. -.

many letters are there in the Bible?
3. How many times is Jehovah men
