That's what those Red Sox are

ency which has landed them in
the high place they occupy in the
American league pennant race.
. They are going to clinch a pennant
in a mighty few days simply be-
cause of that true-to- form trait
The Red SOX have not played es-
pecially brilliant or startling ball
this year They didn't startle any
body at the start of the race. They
didn't pile up game after game and
astound by their brilllancy in the
middle of the race. They are not
travelling such a swift pace at this
stage of the game.
Neither did they play bad base
ball at the start of the fight. Nor
did they fall into a slump during
the middle distance. There are no
indications that they are going to
play bad baseball at the finish.
That's the reason they are going
to win that pennant.
White Sox Sprint-Then Blow Up.
If the White SOx had maintained
the clip they started on their first
trip in the East they would have
run away with the pennant. But
they slumped. The Athletics, away
to a bad start, played fairly well
during the middle stages and then
fell back. The Washington Sena-
tors had brilliant streak, won
game after game and then fell
back. But the Boston Red Sox
went on their way winning cou-
pie of games, maybe losing the next
day and then winning a couple and
losing another They had no bril-

also had no slumps. They main

w 7 HO will be the Sam White
w of the 1912 football season?
Sanford B. White won the
football championship for Prince
ton last year, and for himself he
gained recognition as the most
brilliant athlete in the annals of
American collegiate sport His in
dlVidual work won both the Yale
and Harvard football games of
1911. Many experts say that this
years new rules will obliviate this
individual starring, that the team
whose players are of the greatest
average strength will do the win
ming.
Now, it is only the truth that
these experts know very little about
what football is going to be like
this year. Under the new rules
ways may be discovered to revolu-
uonize the gridiron game. These
experts no doubt reason thought
fully in doping out the end of in
dividual prominence, but still it is
the writer's humble opinion that
more than one of the important
games Of 1912 will be one-man vic
tories, and that next Thanksgiving
will see a new collegian crowned
the hero of footballdom.
1t was Sam White last year and
Ted Coy the year before, and it
will be some one else this year
There's new one every year.
Even when the hero of one season
has another year in the game, he
doesn't repeat.
The most important change that
will be brought about by the new
rules is the allowance of four
downs instead of three in which to
advance the ball ten yards. This,
it is widely claimed. puts a pre-
MUM on the old-time game-the
killthe- tackle mass plays-giving
a decided advantage to the heavy
teams that are best at straight
football. This argues that the 1912
star will be another catapulting
line plunger of the Ted Coy type
Splinter Has Best Chance.
A little thought. however. will
make it clear to the student of the
game that the husky full back is
not the logical candidate A COM
paratively light man is more likely
to be the owner of the face favored
for display on the November sport
pages. He will probably be 1.-the,
shifty spriHter with great ability in
lodging and shaking off tacklers,
and particular knack of catching
the forward pass and getting away
with It fast.
The reason for this lies. in the
fact that the forward pass will
reach its greatest development this

year This is the play that is going
to make the high scores, and that
is going to win games. And il is
the star performer in this play who
will be the star of the 1911 season.
The four down rule, coupled with
the new rule which allows the at
lacking side to make forward passes
of unlimited length. even across the
goal line. opens up unlimited pos
sibilities for the forward pass. AS
the rule protecting the receiver of
the forward pass is still in force,
the offense is given vast liberty in
the use of this play.
The right of the offense to make
forward passes over the goal line
will make II necessary for the de-
Tense to keep its second line back,
instead of massing its whole
strength on the line in the manner
that caused so many failures to
score last year after the offense
had carried the ball down to the
ten yard line.
Princeton Has Had Great Men.
Princeton won't have Sam White
this year, but she may have his sue
cessor. Walter Camp once said,
For brilliancy of achievement. no
teams have produced so many
stars as those of Princeton"
Princeton has had men like Nc
Mann, McNair, Moffat, Lamar,
Ames. King and Dewitt, who alone
have won a great game, and it has
had Poe, who alone defeated Yale
two years in succession, but never
before Whites time has Princeton
or any other college had a man who
by individual achievement won two
baseball games from Yale and a
football game from both Yale and
Harvard.
Whites fame has not been for
gotten with his graduation. His
achievements seem all the more
marvellous in retrospect. In 1911 he
won Princeton's third and deciding
baseball game with Yale. With the
score a blank, White reached sec
ond base. Sterrett who is now
with the New York Yankees, drove
a short hit into right field, which
Corey gathered up on the run and
swiftly whipped to Merritt. at third.
to catch White. White, according
to rule, should have slid to the
base. Instead, he kept his feet and,
taking a daring chance, rounded the
bag and leaped for the plate. The
bali seemed to strike Merritt's
glove simultaneously with Whites
foot on the bag Something. per-
haps Whites audacity, caused Mer-
rift momentarily to juggle the ball.
and in that moment White slid
across the plate with the winning

Bv W. W. Naughton.

AN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.--It
would prove difficult, no
~ doubt, to frame set of box
trg rules that would cover every
noint that was likely to crop up,
Int it certainly looks as though the
time is ripe for making the at
tempt.
The initiative in a movement of
mat kind should be taken by some
official BODY that is far removed
from the petty jealousies of the
game pugilistic and it appears to
the writer that the New York box
ing commission just about fills the
bill
1t would be the easiest matter
POSSIBLE for the commission to des-
irnate a few Eastern experts and
entrust TO them the task of devising
a manual that would be "a guide to
ringmen and referee and would win
the appreciation of the public.
Some years ago Jack O'Brien and
Bob Fitzsimmons boxed in San
Francisco and Fitz collapsed In his
corner during the resting spell
which followed the thirteenth
round.
As II was evident the Cornish
man was past continuing the ref
cree declared in favor Of O'Brien,
and then confusions arose. Some
one wanted to know II O'Brien had
won in thirteen rounds and Fits
hackers answered decidedly not"
"F1tzsimmons did not come up
for the fourteenth round" argued
the O'Brien crowd.
But Fttzsimmons went to his
corner an undefeated man at the
end of the thirteenth round" re-
torted the F'itzsimmons followers.
The question was never settled
satisfactorily and even now the
record books credit O'Brien with a
victory in thirteen rounds without
carrying any foot note to explain
that Fitzsimmons really went to
pieces while his seconds were
grooming him for the fourteenth
round
