RED SOX OPEN IMPORTANT
SERIES WITH NATIONALS TO-DAY
McAleer's Team Has Pennant Hopes, Ex-
poets to Gain Lead While Here.
Hughes Is to Pitch.

Flynn and Knight have not been getting
their share of hits. In fact. Foster APP
pears to be the only man on the team
who is performing consistently with the
stick. Brilliant pitching has made it pos
sible for the team to win a majority of
its games to date. but Griffith looks for
the batting to improve at any time. 1T
Is fortunate for us that even with the
team not hitting as it should we
have won a majority of our games" said
he. Players have their batting slumps
during a season, and i am glad that we
are having ours this early in the cam
paign. But we will get to going with the
stick one of these days, and it will make
wonderful difference in our work"
1t begins to look as if Connie Mack
cannot place any dependence in Harry
Krause. his left-hander. who year before
las. made so sensational a start, when
he won twelve or thirteen straight games
Since then. however. Krause has been of
little or no value to the team. On most
occasions he has to be taken out of games
ne starts. and It must be apparent to the
Athletics that Jack Coombs' absence may
prove too great handicap to overcome.
1t is, OF course, long time to the end of
the season. but the champions are not
showing the right kind of pitching to
date. and unless there is a great improve
ment in this respect it is going to be a
hard struggle for them to keep within
hailing distance Of the leaders.
While the Nationals are on their first
long trip the skin part Of the local infield
will be plowed up three feet and half
deep. Two feet Of cinders will be filled
in, which are ODE covered with loan and
clay. Griffith figures that this sort OF
combination will drain the infield quickly,
and that by having canvas covers for the
skin part Of the field it will be possible
to play games even IL it rains until 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The contract for
a canvas covering and gasoline engine for
hauling 1t on and off has been Cancelled
for the reason that the contractors could
not deliver it until near June 1, at which
time more than one-third Of the games
scheduled for the local grounds will have
been played.
Griffith will probably use Hughes,
Groom, Johnson and Walker in the Boston
series He had intended to pitch Cashion
In the final game against New York yes
terday, but rain prevented this. and it Is
not likely that he will start the young
ster against team Of Bostons prowess,
because he is anxious to have him get
away with his first game.

Griffith is not discouraged because of the
fact that several Of his players on whom
he relied to do most OF the teams hit

they have proven themselves, and that

FEAR The SOONERS
Jayhawkers Tremble as Day OF
Clash Approaches.
Freshmen Put Regulars Out in
Rough Practice.

Lawrence Kan. Nov There is a
feeling of uncertainty in the Jay
hawk camp over the outcome OF the
game with the Oklahoma Sooners on
McoCok field Saturday. Immediately
following the Kansas Aggie game the
Kansas squad seemed to be in better
condition than at any time this season.
and me hopes of the coaches were
high. ScTcral of the regulars We're
taken from the hospital list. and II
appeared that the Mosse-Frank ma
chine would be in its greatest strength
Saturday.
With things in this condition it SEEM
ed that a Jayhawker victory was prac-
tically assured. However, all advance
stories on the game from Lawrence
will have bearish hue caused by var
sity injuries in the scrimmages with
the g freshmen this week. Dutch
Martin, who pulled off the thriller of
the Aggie game by running 20 yards
to a touchdown was badly bruised in
the scrimmage work and he will not
get in the Sooner game. Weidemann,
the 100 pound tackle, also is out of the
game with bad shoulder, and Bran
well has been shifted in from end tc
take his position.
In the bcckf1eld two of the fulIbacks
probably will not be able to play.
Rambo was injured this week ana
Stuewe is still nursing bad knee.
In spite of the setbacks this week,
the Jayhawker team should ne much
stronger both on defense and Offense
against Oklahoma than against the
Aggies. One noticeable weakness in
the team last Saturday was the tack
ling and the coaches have been work
ing at this department this week. At
ter the Aggie game Coach Bonnie
owen remarked that he figured a soon
er victory by end runs. In order to
sire CITIZEN the left end position Coacn
Mosse has put Daniels at the wing
and shifted Bramwell to a tackle.
Bramwell has never played the, emu
position and is a more valuable man
in the line. Daniels was on the squad
last season and has had some expert
ence at end.
The chief strength added to the
Jayhawker offense will be the return
to form of Bully Magill, the gritty
quarterback, who played three-quar-
tiers f the Aggie game with one arm
practically valueless Magill is much
the same type of field general as was
Pete He'll the Topeka boy, who play
ed three years with the Jayhawkers.
The Oklahomans will depend for
their victory upon their backfeld
which is unquestionably one of the
strongest in the valley. With Court
right back in the game, Reeds back
in form and Capshaw. at fullback,
Bonnie Owen has great ground gain
ing trio. The Sooner game is looked
upon as a more difficult battle than
that with the Kansas Aggies because
of speed of the Oklahomans and the
skill and judgment of one Bonnie
Owen, former Jayhawker star, and
the man who slipped a 3 to defeac
over his alma mater last sea-
son week after he had conquered
the Missouri Tiger in his own jungle
The Minnesota shift which was useoi
by Kansas last week probably viii
have prominent place in the Jay
hawker Offense. 1t is the result of
the work of Leonard Frank, the for
mer Gopher star. Coach Mosse pre-
diets a victory by a small margin.

NO CINCINNATI TRADE

Chicago. Nov. 1.-Unless Garry Herr
mann relents and makes a "better" offer
for Joe Tinker Manager John Evers O.
the Cubs VII not trade the veteran
shortstop to Cincinnati.
The new Cub leader gave out a state
ment to this effect today before leaving
for his home in Troy, N Y. Said John:
Mr.. Hermann gives US the choice of
any two of the following: Mitchell,
Bates. Knisely, Kyle, Egan, Grant
Almeida and Phelan. Well, l consider
Mike Mitchell a good ball player, but he
can't play shortstop. 1 would hardly
consider any of the rest. What we want
is Tinker himself or shOrtstop some
where near his equal If Hermann can
get a real shortstop from some other club
and then viii offer him TO us we may
talk business with him. We don't need
outfielders nor do we need third base
men, second basemen first basemen.
The shortstop job is a mighty important
one Tinker can take care of it well
to let him out at the expense of the
Cubs.
ut has been said that Joe and 1 could
never get along together with me as
manager. In answer to that I will say
that We have been 'scra piping ever since l
Joined the team. We had a fist fight the
first year L was here. But that mixup
and our subsequent quarrels didn't affect
our ball playing. We get along all right
on the field. We would get along all
right next year if Joe would stay here
and play ball
..Rut I'm not standing in his way III
trade him to the Reds in minute if
have other trades in view involving
Tinker but I'd prefer to let him go to
Cincinnati, for that's the place he wants
to CO.

In spite of the brilliant playing of
Baker. Dewitt was the real maih-
stay of the Tigers during a good share
of the game, however. He hammered
steadily and irrestibly at the green
line. with fine results.
Trainer Fitzpatrick is we'll pleased
with the condition OF the men ana
is hopeful of keeping them in the same
fine fettle Secret practice will be
the order all week, with hard work
outs every day
The Tiger coaches have developed
an offense that is causing much worry
at Yale and Harvard. The defense is
weak in spots, however, and the coach :
es feel that difficult task is in storf
if the team is to retain the gridiron
supremacy which it won last year.

Princeton, n. J.. Nov. lin Princeton s
big game with Harvard at Cambridge
Saturday two men are expected, by
reason of their past performances. to
shine most brilliantly. They are Hobey
Baker and Dewitt.
In the Dartmouth game last Satur-
day Baker. who plays behind the Tige-
line, rose to football fame on an so
yard race to Il touchdown against the
White Mountain boys. 1t was the most
spectacular feature of the game.
II the final period Baker picked a
Dartmouth punt out of the air on
Princeton's 2o-yard line and fled the
length of the field, shaking off the
Dartmouth tacklers and pulling up
only when he planted the ball behind
the green teams goal.

The Yale coaches have suspended
practice until after York's funeral and
the scheduled game with Colgate next
Saturday has been Cancelled. York
played smashing game against West
Point and was picked by the Yale
coaches at the time as a likely all
American selection.
Upon his return to New Haven he
was sent to the infirmary because of
injuries believed at the time to be
slight. It was announced that he was
suffering torn ligaments at the end of
his collar bone and a bad abSceSs of
the arm. He had not been in the in
Urinary long when pneumonia de-
veloped and soon it was announced
that he would not be allowed to re-
turn to the game this fall. York's
condition became alarming and late
in the evening he became unconscious,
his death following soon after. York
was 90 years old and came from
Philadelphia. His death is the first
among Yale football players since
George Watkinson. haIfback, died of
pneumonia in 1885.
