HURRY UP" YOST PREDICTS
FAT" YEAR FOR MICHIGAN
WOLVERINE FOOTBALL MENTOR
LIKES SITUATION.
Men Arc Heavy, Have Lots of Speed
and Understand Game.

Ann Arbor, Mich, oct 3.-Fielding
IT, Yost. the man i'm whom Michigan
for years has entrusted it's football
hopes, is smiling And that smile
means as much to the undergraduates
at the university as n multitude of
words. For Yost is not given to To-
quaciousness. And well may the Of
fetal feel happy. He has under him
a score of young fellows, all deter
mined To make the team, and all hay
ing a better lighting chance of doing
50. You know, prospects at Michigan
are better than they have been since
the fat years, ending with 1906.
The team this year viii be heavier
than it has been in five seasons. From
tip to tip it will average approximate
ly rs pounds, and every man is fast.
Fast Is the primo essential i'm modern
football. Beef and Drawn. while de-
sirable, are not SO necessary as speed
Michigan has all three. and If the team
does not revive memories of the fam
Gus point-a-minuto elevens Of years
ago it will he because the present
prospects fall down sadly.
1t seems likely that the regulars this
season will be: Patterson, Almendin-
ger, Quinn. Roblec. Boyle, Pontus,
.Conklin, Wells, Garrels, Barton, Craig.
Thomson, Torbett. Carpel and Har-
rington
1T is a trinc early for making pre-
.dictions." said Coach Yost, "but every
thing points To big year for Michi-
gan. The line will be one of the fast
est in the west. and l believe one OF
tho fastest in the country. The men
work in unison, and am satisfied with
the progress that has been made.
IF Mcmillan and Cornwcll had re-
turned there wouldn't have been a
question as To the ability Of the team.
II would have been one Of the grand
est ever turned out of Michigan. ! do
not like to make predictions, but-well.
am satisfied. Does that mean any

STOLEN BASE RECORD.
Not Many Sasks Purloined in Last
Worlds Series.

Now that the subject OF base steal
.irg seems to be a question of con-
siderable concern in the coming worlds
series, a glance over thc last big bat
tie with the Cubs would not be amiss.
TO refresh the memories OF the Phila-
.delphla fans the statistics I'm pllfer-
ing arc repeated:
Killing and Archer were supposed At
that time 10 measure mp 10 the stand
ard Of any catchers IN the country,
while Ira Thomas was supposed to be
numbered among the also rams. In the
first game one base was stolen, the
theft being committed by Murphy
against King.
In the second game with Killing again
behind the log, Collins ramblcd down
to second twice via burglary. In the
third game Tinker was the lone man
to steal, and Thomas was the backstop
I'm the fourth game with Thomas again
catching. Sheckard purloined.
In the fifth game Archer went be-
hind the bat Hartzel and Collins both
stole two bases each, while thinner
man oked one with Lapp catching for
the Mackmen. This gives sum total
Of seven stolen bases in five games for
the Macks, while the Cubs got three.

COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE
FOR ISSUANCE OF BONDS
INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS MAY BE
GIVEN FIRST CHANCE.
May Discuss Action To Meet Deficit
in Water Funds.

Much interest attaches TO the reg
ular monthly meeting Of the Laurium
council this evening because of the
fact that plans will be discussed for
the issuance of $4,000 i'm funding
bonds. approved at the special election
held last month. There is little doubt
that individual investors, attracted by
the five per cent interest paid on the
bonds, will be given an opportunity to
purchase them, in fact it is possible
that they will be given the first chance.
That there will be brisk demand for
the bonds is almost certain, and IL is
even claimed by some that they will
bring Il premium. although this is not
generally expected.
The failure of the water bonding
proposal to receive the approval of
two-thirds of the voters, as required
under the village charter, will probably
call for other action TO meet the de-
felt existing in the water funds. due
to the installation of meters. IL is
possible that the council will employ
a special collector To hasten payments
on meters that have been already in
stalled. 1t is believed that IL all Of
these payments were in, many addi-
tional meters could be installed, al
though there would not be enough
money available To complete the work.
The approval of the funding bonds
means that the sinking fund will again
be placed in good condition and it is
likely that the payments Of bonds and
interest will be readjusted 50 as to

BLOCK WATCHMAN PLAN FAILS
Chief Donahue Says Commercial Club
Has Abandoned the Scheme.

Of CITY jail DOnahus says He
: Can Add Twelve Men In

Members Of the Commercial club have
abandoned their scheme TO have block
vatchmen delegated with special police
powers, according TO Chief of Police Dona-
hue. Recently a committee from the club
was in conference with the chief, Mayor
DahInan and william wsppich and Will
liam Hunter. members OF the Board Of Fire
and Police commissioners.
The Commercial club suggested that
block watchmen in the city be delegated
as special policemen and put under the
direction of the chief. The committee was
given encouragement by the city officials
and Was told that II the club would fur
nish the watchmen or provide for their
pay the chief would direct their activities.
The club members departed with the
understanding that II sufficient funds could
be raised to put the scheme into operation
the chief be REQUESTED TO direct the men
The club solicitors have not met with the
assistance they desired and for that rea-
son havs dropped the plan.
while the scheme might add to the
police force TN n way, l do not believe
the results would warrant the expenses"
said Chief DOnahue Block wstchmen
are not effective as a rule. The absence of
the uniform is enough in itself to handl-
cap the project. Plain clothes patrolmen
cannot exert one-tenth the influence OF
uniformed man.
we can solve the police situation here
for the time being II the city council will
assume the expenses at the city Jail, as
has been requested by the fire and police
board.
THE funds asked would give us twelve
additional patrolmen. The plan of the de-
partment is TO detail these men through
out the residence district. II the city coun-
Gil decides 10 bear the expense Of the city
jail we will put on twelve more men in

chief Donahue made flying visit to
Lincoln Wednesday. He held a conference
with Governor Aldrich. during which the
police department was discussed at length.
Governor Aldrich unhesitatingly de-
eiared we needed 150 patrolmen in Omaha"
said the chief. He told me that a recent
INSPECTION of Omaha had proven to him
that the present force is totally made

Of territory Omaha covered until he went
over the city recently.
The governor could offer no suggestions
for increasing the force at this time, be-
cause he could not see where the money
would come from
