, er, while he was directing the AFFAIRS
OF the Cubs in the absence Of Man
ager Frank Chance and the suspended
Johnny Evers merely smiled in his
room in the Copley Square hotel when
his attention was called to the criti-
cisms of Secretary Locke Of the Pitts
burg club, concerning some members
Of the Cubs.
NO n will pay any attention to
Locke's statements" said Joe. II am
not making alibis for the Cubs. but IL
the Pirates had gone afte the Giants
when the Giants had that slump, there
wouldn't be anything to it now. We
would be in the lead. That was u
only chance.
I'VE have a good pitching staff. but
If we had that staff that Locke's club
has We would win the championship in
a walk. With that pitching staff New
York had no license to take four out
of five games from the Pirates. That
Pittsburg stag is the best in the coun-
try.
I'VE always thought the Pirates a
great team, but when they dropped to
the Giants We had to agree. with the
popular verdict that the Pirates as a
great baseball organization had pass
ed. The team Of today is but a relic
Of bygone days.
Even crippled as We are. we are
still fighting, and we will keep doing It
to the finish"

type. men who are fortunate in hav-
ing both the body Of the born foot
pail man and the qualities of the self
made player. They are such men as
Shevlin. Fitzpatrick and Coy of Yale,
Burr of Harvard. WelWitt of Prince
ton and Heston of Michigan.
If you wish to become a PLAYER of
either of the last two types do it this
way: Take plenty of sleep, don't wor-
~. eat anything you want, but Of
some things eat sparingly. never over
load the stomach. Eat heartily of
foods that contain an abundance of
protein. but If you must indulge in
pastrys and buildings be moderate in
your indulgence. most pies are alright
except for n p~ie-crust, if that is like
gristle or India rubber leave it alone.
But the most important part for you
Is played within yourself out on the
football field. If you have fumbled
the ball say to yourself. well I'll do
that n more" If a punt Is coming
your way say within yourself II will
catch It," Our lives are for the most
part built up of habits. Remember
this in your training. 1t is very easy
to get into the habit of missing the
ball when YOU should catch it. 1t is
harder but just as true to get into the
habit of catching the ball and not
fumblfng. If running signals, when
the ball Is snapped. put every ounce
YOU have into the play and try each
time to get off quicker than you did
the time before; yer try to increase
your speed; and If you could observe
your progress o would be surprised
at your own improvement.

To the Football Aspirant
By Charles E. Armstrong, Coach at the University of
North Dakota
Just a few pointers for the young
mar that aspires to become a star
player on his college eleven.

Just a few pointers for the young
man that aspires to become a star
player on his college eleven.
First-Let me say. there are three
types Of players that you will find on
almost every team. There is the born
football man, the self-made player
and the man that has the qualities of
the other two. The born football man
Is the rugged giant with an iron con-
stitution that breaks into the game
with a rush. He makes the varsity
team IN first week of the season and
his school Is elated over the find"
for every one sees in him a tar of the
future. But watch him. If he has none
of the qualities of the self-made
player n g soon drops into that don't
care" kind Of playing and as is too
often the case his first season has seen
him at his best.
The seif-made player is he who.
though he may have been frail in
health and body. has by exercise, grit
and determination made good and
built up a body that will take him
through the fray and through life with
but little trouble. He has done this
by getting every ounce that he has in
to every play every minute of the
game, and he tries each day to play a
better game than he did the day be-
fore. There are a few Of this type of
men that reach the coveted position
on the all-American team. A worthy
example Of this type is Howe of Yale,
another is Eckersall of Chicago. But
for the most part the all-American
team is made up Of men Of the third

New York, Sept. 16.-The oficial
seal of approval has been placed upon
the spor of boxing as conducted in
New York. by Sheriff julius Narburg-

suppression Of the proposed wolgast-

attended the Attell-Thomas fight in
Madison Square Garden, and after

Before the boxing began I made
a formal statement to the referee. I
said that if the affair developed into
a brutal prize fight l would stop it
myself. arrest the principals and ar
rest the referee. 1 think from my OBJ
OF what happened that the
affair was conducted in an orderly
ann in strict accordance with the
provisions Of the law.
THE bout. to be explicit, was In my
opinion a pure and simple boxing ex-
hibition and instead Of being a brutal
affair 1t was a contest that might be
conducted in any reputable institution
devoted to this branch OF sport. II
boxing is to be conducted under the
law on this plane it will be conducive
to the development of athletics and
at the same time uphold the manhood
OF the American people. I propose tc
visit every boxing exhibition under
my jurisdiction as sheriff Of New
York county and will exercise my au-
thority in such a manner that brutal

While baseball is the same old game

No young umpire is ever labeled a

The success of the umpire largely
depends on the confidence of the
