When the two men returned to tho

Amateur day may not materialize
after all, according to information given
out this morning.. At least II there Is a
parade and amateur review 1t may be a
smaller affair than was at f1rst planned.
The two postponements OF the event,
that of Tuesday because of rain, and
the second call off yesterday. because
of threatening weather, have put the
amateurs in anything but pleasant
humor.
Yesterday the affair was called off at
the last moment, not soon enough for
some of the players who kept the
phones busy trying to find out II they
were expected to attend the ball park.
Some five teams with several scattered
individuals who had made arrangements
to leave their work went out to the park
and rooted Justify for the Nationals.
In speaking of the affair several Of
the amateurs said they were through as
far as amateur day was concerned, for
they had already lost two full days pay
in getting off from work and thought
they couldn't take another day off.
Those who got in their uniforms went
TO the park and were loud in praise of
Griffith.
When the Nationals manager found
that the event was postponed he invited
the teams and players to attend just the
same, and some seventy-tive gayly at
tired amateurs saw Tom Hughes hand
up victory for the Nationals. The in
'Vitation was received by nearly 200 anna
teurs who thought some joke was being
played on them and did not go to the
. park. Those who did showed their ap-
, probation of Griff's invitation by cheer
| Ing at every turn of the game.

Two Postponements Have Taken the Edge Off Enthu-

Players Yesterday Gets Wide Appreciation

ton and We'd with "Frenchy," that
famous follower of the Nationals, IN
splitting the air with yells. kerper is
a member of the Waverly team, and
has seen many years of service as a

But two games were played among
the amateurs yesterday, Seaton and
Andrews, of the Northern Association,
and Nativity and North Carolina, OIL
the Sunday School League playing.
Seaton had an easy time of 1t defeat
ing Andrews By an II to 8 score. An

while the Seaton team managed to nit
Walters for fifteen safeties Nativity
hung 1t on to the North Carolina play
trs by an II to score, romping away
with the game in the final innings.
Rain may call off the games in the
circuits today. which will cause another
lot Of postponements. Tho week has
seen practically the entire nipe leagues
under the commission idle because of
rain. With two games yesterday and
none on two other days this week the
amateurs have been forced TO put a
number of games on the postponed list
This may necessitate running the sched-
ules into another week.

Fans Suggestion Is
Valuable to Collins

Shano Collins. Of the White Sox. got
a suggestion from a student fan that
increased his speed on the Eases. The
fan noticed shat Collins tIrned second
and third on his left foot. and suggested
that nc try turning the sacks on the
right foot, thus saving himself several
feet by not having to go SO far out
Of the path. Collins tried it and found
he could cut down the distance by sew
eral feet. 1t is Just such small points
that often stand between Il three ba Sc

Edinburgh a view of that city painted

seen. He then commenced similar ex.

the name ',panorama:" he later on

Japan's Anthem.

The Japanese national anthem is the
most POLITICALLY worded in the world
with the possible exception of the Nor
wegian, "Ja, vi olsker," written by
Bjornstjerne Bjornson. That is. Of
course. a matter of opinion. but the
Japanese anthem is commercially shor
and makes, in its English form, ar
eminently pleasing poem Its ten lines
are as follows:
Until this grain of sand,
Tossed by each wavelet's freak.
Grow to a cloud girt peak.
Towering above the land;
Until the dewy fake
Beading this blossoms gold
Swell to a mighty lake
Age upon age untold
Joy to JOY manifold
Add for our sovereign's sake

PLAN A NEW COMBINE.
Movement Under Way to Form
 Rival of Big Nine."
Five Colleges and Universities In- cluded In Conference in Middle West--Notre Dame and Mar
 quette Are Included.

A movement is on foot which will,
 If it materializes, result in new con
 ference of colleges and universities in
 the middle west Sponsors for the
 plans are working secretly and with
 a dispatch that augurs we'll for ulti-
 mate success.
 Notre Dame, Marquette and Wabash
 have been named as charter members. with the possible inclusion of the
 Michigan agricultural college and Lawrence university. There will be six or eight institutions in the confer
 ence. and it will enter upon its off, cial existence in the fall with the
 opening of the 1913 football season.
 An effort was made last spring. 1t will be remembered, to form a confer ence of the Catholic universities in
 the middle west but owing to the
 weakness of the teams the plan was abandoned. The necessity of cement
 ing athletic relations between the prospective members of the new con ference is recognized as the principal
 reason for the launching of the com
 pine
 The strength of the institutions
 named for membership is too we'll
 known to need advertising. Notre Dame has always turned out foot ball team that made it feared rival on any gridiron and sure-fre con- tender for the championship of Indi- ana every year. Wabash, the home of the Little Giants has given the South Bend eleven a bitter fight, and
 a meeting always brews oodles of in- terest.
 Marquette and Notre Dame have a three-year tie to wipe out, which says plenty for the evcnness of the two teams representing these schools. They will endeavor to settle their diff ferences Thanksgiving day at Comis- key park. Michigan "Aggies' have always been bitter football foes of Notre Dame, and is a powerful team.
 Lawrence this year walloped Mar quette, demonstrating that it is a worthy candidate for membership in the new conference
 While the plans are in the making discussion of the rules which would
 govern eligibility of football players
 has already taken place in a sketchy
 way. The majority of the schools in
 line for membership already comply
 with the regulations that govern the
 "big nine' with the exception of the
 training table. Notre Dame, Mar ouefta ond Nahach hova urornicod if is understood. to enforce the fresh-
 men rule, and the abolition of the | training table may follow.
