It's here kids
The All @. Barnes CIRCUS, the largest
trained animal exhibition in America
arrived in Las Vegas early this morn
ing Long before the average small
boy was awake the rumble Of heavy,
red circus wagons could be heard on
the streets
As usual a large reception commit
tee OF small boys who simply could not
be kept away were on hand to vel
come the showmen The circus came
in three sections, there being S2 cars
altogether.
One Of the first persons to alight
was the circus mail carrier who has
tened to the postoffce on the first Of
three trips he daily makes to the gov
ernment station. At his heels was the
general manager, whose nultifarious
duties require an early rising. Not far
behind could be observed the circus
detective who moved slowly through
the railroad yards observing faces and
figures and approaching by easy
stages the local police station wher
he proposed to identify any dangerous
crooks who might have been arrested
on yagrancy charges. The al G.
Barnes circus management always CO.
operates with city governments in
maintaining good order.
Large numbers Of people journeyed
to the show grounds on the north end
of Sixth street early in the day to
watch the canvasmen putting up the
big tents. At noon occurred the big
street parade which was long and
full of interesting sights. The after
noon performance began at 2 o'clock.
1t was well attended. the country peo-
pie having come in from all directions
to witness the big show. The show is
bright, clean and amusing. Those
who saw it this afternoon were well
pleased and a large crowd may be ex-
pected at the. evening performance

NOT ASSURED
National League Situation
May Again Delay Worlds
Series Plans.

NEW YORK. September 23-The meet
ing of the national base ball commission
scheduled for Wednesday in this city to
arrange for the worlds series, with the
idea that by that time it would be def
nitely known what clubs would be con-
tenders, probably will find the National
League race still undecided to a mathe-
maticai certainty.
The New York Giants now need four
games to assure them positively the Ma
tional League pernant, and the only way
in which they can win that assurance
before the national commission meets
will be the combination of victories over
Pittsburgh here today and tomorrow, to-
gether with double defeat of Chicago by
Philadelphia at the same time.
With little probability of such break,
it may be that the national commission
will further delay definite arrangements
for the worlds series until the National
League race is formally won.
New York fans expect to see the Giants
clinch the championship before the end
of the week. Even that will leave Man.
ager McGraw with only a weeks interval
before the worlds series in which to let
his men ease up from the strain of the
peiinant race.

RED S0X FAVORTES
OVER THE GIANTS
Many Wagers Already Made on
the Result of the Coming
Worlds Series.

NEW YORK. September 23.--Heavy
wagering on the result of the coming
worlds series between the New York
Giants and the Boston Red Sox has be-
gun in earnest Thousands of dollars
have been posted already both here and
in Boston. not to mention the other ma
ior league cities, and the indications are
that before the teams clash in the first
game sum of enormous proportions will
hang in the balance A canvass of lead
ing bettors at various local sporting re-
sorts Saturday night revealed the indis
putable fact that the Red Sox are hot
favorites and that the prevailing odGs;
offered by their supporters are ) to 4.
Men who backed the Giants heavily last
year, chiefly because the strength and
skill of the Athletics We're underesti-
mated, cannot figure McGraws men in
any way this time. Well known brokers
and business men who make a practice Of
betting on sporting events showed memo
randa Saturday night covering strings Of
bets on the Red SoX as long as your arm.
In each case those who hacked the Giants
secured , to 4 or 10 to s, with little 10
to Z now and then.
Prominent layers of odds, bookmakers
on the raeetracks in former years, have
also made the Red Sox odds-on favorites.
A week ago these gamblers were laying
4 to ) against the Boston champions, but
they got such a big play that yesterday it
was said that to 10 would be on tap
this week and perhaps :; to ). In fact,
big spectators say that 1t would not be
surprising if they quoted l to against
the Red Sox by the time the series be-
gins.
This summary of the betting situation
doesn't mean that the Giants lack finan-
cial support. Cleveland man who has
money invested in big racetrack has
already wagered $4,000 on McGraw's
pennant winners. and it is said that he
viii bet as much more if the odds are
heightened. A we'll known actor is said
to have expressed a desire to bet $4,000
on the Bostons. but nobody seems to
know whether the offer will be covered or
not. The wise money! however, will
go on the Boston end and there'll be an
unlimited amount of it.
The reason advanced for the strong
support accorded to the Red Sox is that
the Giants are not playing championship
ball and have not been able entirely to
recover from the slump of last July: also
that in the opinion of some Of the best
posted base ball players and managers
the Red SoN are stronger as a whole than
the Athletics of last year.
AS usual, John J. McGraw isn't talking
for publication, but he is quietly prepar-
ing the Giants for a desperate fight with
the widely praised Beaneaters McCiraw
pays no attention to the wagers of the
wise men or the odds quoted by the light
ming calculators.

JIMMY COLLINS SATISFIED.

BOSTON. September EFT certainly

ba seman of the Boston American world s

gave our boys a pretty battle for time,
but the Red Sox refused to come through
with the slump generally expected out
side Of Boston,.
Asked what he thought OF the world $
series between the Sox and the Giants.
Collins decared: II think 1t is an even
thing. All this talk about the great su-
periority of the Boston team sounds well
to fans In this city, but you have got to
show me where they are going to have
any cinch.
THE Red Sox are q faster team than
the Giants. but they have not the expert
enced players McGraw can show. They
have been through one series. and this
counts for whole lot. Looking at 1t
! from any angle. l can't see anything
but a toss-up between Boston and New

The local foot ball squads will settle
down to real work this week. So far
since the candidates have. been out the
practice has been little more than light
drill in the elementary part Of the game
but from this time there will be scrim-
images almost every day and the work
will take on a real foot ball aspect
GEORGETOWN spent practically all last
week getting the men in condition and
made little or no attempt to make the

images will be INDUCED in between TIE
two elevens. Signals have already been
given the men. and, while only a. lew
plays have been instituted, it is judged
that they are, sufficient to win the. hrst
two contests by big scores.
Out at the Maryland Agricultural Col
lere and at Gallaudet ony two days have
been spent in practice, but the different
candidates appear to he in such shape
that work may be started more earnestly.

HARRY DAVIS HAS NEW IDEA.
Thinks of Appointing Himself Base
Ball Ambassador at Large.

PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-Har-
ry Davis, ex-manager of the Maps, is
planning to become American base ball
ambassador at large to the world. He
is now in correspondence with base ball
men commissioned to sign base ball
coaches for foreign countries.
Davis plans to teach the game in Japan,
China, England and France, to the Ger
man army, in Hawaii and to the athletic
loving people of Australia.
Il have information that there are fat
jobs waiting for competent base ball
coaches in these countries said Davis.
Base ball is certain to travel around the
world. The statement recently made that
international base ball games among the
four corners of the earth would promote
worlds peace through bringing the ma
tons into closer understanding Of one an
other may not be a dream.
"A. G. Spalding explains that the fail
ure of athletes of other countries to cope
with American athletes at the Olympic
games was due to their lack of base ball
training. which every American lad gets
from the time he puts trousers on.
have information that army officers in
France, England. Germany and other
countries feel that the physical condition
and morale of the soldiers would he bene-
fitted if they had base ball as a diversion. y

game = White had an X-ray picture
taken Of the injured part. but not until
this afternoon will the exact damage be
known. The doctors fear that the end
of the clavicle bone is cracked, but not
until today will that be decided upon.
Jim Dunn will mostlikeIy be given a
chance to make good at fullback. Jim
is in excellent shape, and can hit the
line as hard as any backfield man in
the squad. Dunn will most likely be
tried out in this position. Another man
who was used at fullback is Moriarty.
Moriart- for a time was used in the
backfield last year, and showed that he
is capable for this position. AS there
are several linemen on the squad Mori-
arty can be spared from the line posi-
ton.
The loss Of Dimmick from the squad
will be a severe blow, as this young
man was counted unon to make good in
the line For some time Dimmick has
been considering a job offered him by
the Standard Oil Company, and not until
yesterday did he decide to take the op-
portunity. Dimmick is great all
around athlete. Besides being a star
performer on the gridiron he is a
pitcher of no mean ability. Dimmick
will be missed greatly.
Ritch. who played center on Unver-
sity Of North Carolina. sent a telegram
to Capt. Hegarty Yesterday stating that
he will be in town and out for practice
today.
Now that Dimmck is lost to the squad
Ritch might be tried out at tackle. He is
big. rangy fellow, and is said to he very
fast for big man. If he shows to good
advantage at tackle lie will be kept
there.
Charles Bergen. who played stellar
game at end last year. returned today.

fortified in having plenty of end ma

now fall upon Coaches Dennis and Gar
gan. Dennis went to New York Satur-
day TO attend the rules committee meet
ing, and will return this morning, when
he will meet Coach Gargan and Capt
Hegarty for a conference.
The same kind of work that took UP
the greater part of the attention of the
coaches last week will be INDUCED i'm to-
day, but tomorrow the real work begins
when every man on the squad will be
tested to his worth.

FOOT BALL SQUADS WILL
NOW GET DOWN TO WORK
Preliminary Practice Is About Over, and
Teams wa Be Lined Up and Scrim
images Begun This Week.

some and least congenial duty in the
world is the preliminary practice each
fall. There is nothing the veteran hates
as much as he does the going through the
elementary stunts before the tentative
elevens are picked.
Without using its first eleven. the Car
Isle Indian School ran up total of fifty
points on the Albright College eleven Sat
urday. If the Indians can accomplish
that with a substitute team. what will it
do before the end of the year?
1t is likely that the Indians will have
Just such an eleven as represented them
last season, only little stronger. 1t is
reported that the team has lost no man it
cannot replace with some one equally as
strong. and if that be the case the old
players who have returned should have
improved enough to guarantee an even
more capable aggregation than that
which accomplished so much in 1911.
Georgetown will open its schedule Sat-
urday when it meets the Randolph Ma
con eleven. 1t is probable that the con-
test will develop into an affair similar to
that at which' Georgetown trimmed the
William and Mary team G6 to last fall.
There is not much probability that the
Ashland School VII score on the HILL
toppers. and they IN turn should not do
anything if not make a runaway of the
game by scoring points almost at will.
Inc loss oI lJlII1HlICh anu w ulte may De
felt to a considerable extent. Both men
were exceptionally capable and both
would have been sure to make regular
jobs on the team The fact that Dim
mick will not stay here to play on the
team causes the problem of tackles to
loom up again. Rheinchiid will hold
down one of the places. while it Is prob
able that Tormey will be placed in the
other.
White may be out of the game for some
time or he may he back in his position in
couple of weeks. before the hard part
of the schedule begins. 1t all depends
on tic examination to be made today to
ascertain whether or not the hone in his
shoulder was injured. If White is out
of the game for any length of time his
loss will handicap the team to consid-
cradle extent, as he Is Very valuable
man both on the defense and offense.
The play in the games of last Saturday
did not seem to.be at all different from
that which was used last season. If
anything, to judge solely, by the reports
