that Rube, who has recovered from
his breakdown, can and will duplicate
his phenomenal pitching of last

That Princeton will not win the
football championship of the east this
fall is the opinion of Lowell Dana,
coach of the University of Cincinnati
eleven and former star lineman at
Dartmouth.
Princeton will be III against 1t for
a strong line" says Dana. Three OF
the best men of last year, SamsAhite,
left end: Ed Hart, left tackle. and
Duff, guard, are missing. Whites
sensational work was really respon-
sibIe for Princeton's defeat of both
Yale and Harvard last year and their
winning of the American football
& championship. The Tigers. however.
have a strong backfield and this may
compensate for the weakness of their
line.
Harvard will have a good team.
Captain Wendell is the best line

looks pretty good"
New Orleans boxing enthusiasts are
happy, for this winter 15-round con-
tests can be held there and 45-round
affairs can be witnessed across the
river. Decisions also can be given.
"Steve Yerkes, of the Boston Red
Sox, isn't hitting as well this year
as he ought to with a pennant win
ming team" observes Hug Fullerton.
HE has slumped down to about .240.
Normally he a twenty point better
hitter. It would look. from a study
!. of five years of his batting, that he
Is q dangerous man with a weak
ness. and the New York pitchers
would better study his weakness. I
/. see by his scores that he trounces
pitchers who are new in the circuit

While the American game of base
ball has been trying for years to
gain a foothold in other lands. the
Canadian national game of lacrosse
has in a short time become a world
sport. Baseball is confined almost
entirely to Americans and Canadians,
and has just recently been taken up
by Chinese and Japanese. Lacrosse,
on the other hand, is played not by
Canadians alone. but by Yankees,
Englishmen. Australians, New Zeal
auders, South Africans and Japanese.
Marty o'Toole, Pittsburgh's $22,50U
beauty, looks like another "Rube'
Marouard. RUDE obtained a poor
start with the Giants and was con-
sidered the greatest lemon in base
ball for two seasons. Finally he
came along and made good with a
vengeance, justifying the fancy price
New York paid for him. Now Marty
is doing the same thing.
" inst because the National Base
ball Commission wanted TO make a
small fortune out of the movies
we shall be denied the pleasure Oh
witnessing the worlds series in
moving pictures this fall and winter.
The moving picture men agreed
among themselves that the prices
asked by the commission were way
\ out of reason and refused to come
across.
The National Baseball Commission
must be composed of very high
class %hnanciers. Fans will attend
the worlds series not to see thac
precious commission or the club own
ers. Yet the latter will get all the
receipts after four games. and 40
per cent. of the first four, except
10 per cent. of the total. which the
commission pulls down. This is one
hefty argument in favor of having
the players represented on the COM
mission.
Ed Walsh, of the Chicago White
Sox, says the Boston Americans hit
his spitball and will hit Tesreau's.
Have you noticed, by the way,
says Ed, that you heal no more talk
that the spitball ruins a pitchers

TO use it. to scare other pitches
out of attempting it."
Jack White, of Chicago, and Andy
.Bezenah will probably figure in a
%ton-round glove contest in Cincin-
natl on October IA. White is under
the management of Fred Gilmore,
and is one of the best ~lightweights
ever turned out in the Windy city,
Not so long ago he fought Joe Man
dot in Los Angeles. White has met
owen Moran and all the others III
that class.
