ATHLETICS PASS UP
 ALL HOPE FOR TENANT
Looks As if Twice World Champions Will Have Trouble Finishing As
 High As Second.

Those three defeats the White Sox handed the Athletics virtually put the worlds champions out of the 1912 pennant running. Fans who are not afraid to call black, black are resigned to fate. The only chance they have of winning is for the Red tSox and Washington to collapse and the Mack men to strike a long winning streak.
 There is about as much prospect of either happening as there is of the city dispensing with it's trolley lines and the subway.
 start but started to spurt in the mid- dle of the season and won the pennant handily. Detroit opened the season with a big lead, but the pIodding Ath- letics gradually wore it down, al- though it took some time to do it.
 When the Athletics got off so bad ly this spring, it was believed that 1912 would simply repeat the his- tory of 1911. It was predicted that the Athletics would strike their clip in4Iuly and soon work into the lead.
 The difference this season was that the Athletics had no slumping Detroit team with which to reckon A new contender rose this year in Boston. With Heine Wagner restored to their lineup, the Red Sox have been con- sistent winners all year They took the lead in the, middle of the season and spent the rest of the time in creasing it.
 Stahl has championship team, and it hasn't shown the slightest signs of sagging. It has been equal to every demand made of it this year and delivered. with lots to spare. Right to-day the team is playing as good as any time this season, al- though the infield recently has been crippled. Boston could have a good sized slump and still pull through, but there is no indication that it is going to have such slump.
 The Athletics not only have the Red Sox with which to contend, but Washington as well. Griffiths men gained on the Mackmen during the last week, and now it looks as if the team will have trouble finishing as high as second.

INDIAN ELEVEN
 TO BE BUILT
 AROUND THORPE
EYES OF COUNTRY WILL BE ON CARLISLE TEAM THIS YEAR COACH WARNER HAS MANY
 STARS TO CHOOSE FROM.

Carlisle. Pa. Aug. 27-The return to America from the Olympic games of Glenn $. Warner, physical director at the Carlisle Indian School, with his victorious wards, James Thorpe and Lewis Tewanima, has brought to Carlisle inquiries from all over the country as to what kind of a football team the Carlisle Indians will have this year and. what kind of prepara- tions are in immediate prospect.
 On September training for the football candidates then starting in their academic year at Carlisle will begin, although many of the redskins who are out on farms, in pursuance of Carlfsle's outing-svstem plan, will not return until September 15.
 With Powell, who is probably one of the greatest fullbacks that the country has seen, Carlisle will -his year have no fewer than four stars of transcendent magnitude, in Thorpe, ex-Captain Burd, the wonderful end whose tricky play amazed college men last year.
 Coach Glenn Warner, who has been at Carlisle, after other college train ing, since 1899. with the exception of the years 1904 and 1905 and 1906 when he was head coach at Cornell is busy developing his plans for the J been recognized as an advocate of the open game, and is considered by ali authorities as the greatest originator of effective plays.
 There is seldom a season passes that the football world does not look to Carlisle's famous trainer for ex- positions of grand and lesser strate- gies on the. gridiron. This year the redskins will be compelled to make use of all methods for advancing the ball. They are aIways good at kick ing and forward passing, and if Pow ell returns he will be a powerful fae- tor in offensive work, as he is unques- tionably one of the greatest line buckers the country has ever seen. In fact, the Indians have stood out not ably during the past few years in the kicking and line -bucking departments which were probably second only to Thorpe's great end running.
 The Carlisle schedule includes games with Albright, Lebanon Val ley, Dickinson, Washington and Jef- ferson. Syracuse, Pittsburg, George town, Lehigh. West Point, Pennsylva- mia, Springfield Training and Brown.

 Bicycle thieves have been unusual ly active here recently and there IS popular demand for more severe ln- depreciation of the law. Four bicycles have been stolen in the last three weeks and no trace of the thief has been obtained. The peace of keep watch of every bicycle owned here and those who are attempting to hold them to blame for the frequent thefts should alter their complaints. The thief will get into the tolls after while and a long sentence will put an end to the thieving for time at least. It is believed that the bicycle and other petty thieving about the town is the work of boys.

New York, Aug. 27-Kid Williams of Baltimore reached the top round of the bantam weight class by stop ping Kid Kelly of New Orleans ir nine rounds at the Garden A. c. last night. Kelly was badly cut up and so weak and helpless in the middle of the ninth chapter that Referee Billy Joh stepped between the lads and pushed Kelly to his corner.
 Williams was a busy bee. He was on top of Kelly all the time. Not for "a single second did he stop fighting His fist flew fast and straight
 After the first round he never per mifted Kelly to ''set.' He hit Kelly at least 400 stinging punches. They landed on the nose, mouth. chin, eyes and stomach.
 It was not because Williams failed to land hard blows that Kelly lasted nine rounds. It was because the New Orleans lad was able to stand up un- der the blows.
 Tn the ninth round, however, Will Hams battered him up so severely that Kelly was only just able to keep on his feet He cfinched at the slightest chance. Kelly was unable to protect himself, and Referee Joh, realizing that he was helpless 4sent him to tho corner. --Ss7,f
