''AUCIE"FRESHIES
and S0PHS CLASH
First Game of Importance at
Local College Since 1905
Scheduled Tomorrow.

Freshmen and sophomores OF Au-
afternoon in the biggest athletic event
of the season-the class football
game. All preparations Cor the con-
test have been made, the field has been
Ilned on and goal posts erected, while
both teams are primed for the battle.
Enthusiasm among the student body
IS running high, most of the students
taking sides with one or the other of
the classes.
Both teams have been practicing
hard for weeks in preparation for the
game. The members of both squads
feel that the honor of their respective
class is at stake. and a gruelling con-
test is anticipated. Coach Brewin of
Rock Island has been coaching the
freshies in an effort to whip them into
shape. while Captain Anderson has
personally supervised the training OF
the soph warriors. During the last
week he has pulled his players out OF
bed at the break of day and engaged
in practice until breakfast time.
So confident are the sophs Of vic
tory. that the girls of the class have
arranged a banquet tomorrow night
for the soph players. During the last
week the goods have been distribut-
ing tags with the inscription: We'll
get their goat Saturday"
Is First Game.
The game tomorrow is looked upon
as important in that it will be the first
football contest of any note played at,
Augustana since the sport was placed
under the ban in 1905. It is believed
that it will crystaliEe sentiment at
the college in favor of the game and
set in motion a strong agitation to
have the question of reinstating the
game brought before the synod.
The lineup tomorrow will be as fol-
lows:

Chick Gandill to Get
$4,000 For 3 Years

WASHINGTON. oct. At devel-
oped yesterday that Chick" G9ndil
the Nationals first baseman. had af-
fixed his signature to three year
contract The figures were not made
public, but II is understood that he is
to receive $4,000 for his services dur
ing this period.
outside Of Walter Johnson, Gandil
has been the biggest asset to the
Washington club. He was purchased
during the playing season last year
from the Montreal club, for sum
around the $500 mark Gandirs
work with the local organization has
been nothing short of sensational. He
filled the biggest gap, both often
sively and defensively. A great field
er. Gaudu is even more valuable as
hitter. Individually, he has won
more games with his stick than any
other member OF Grithth's forces.
There is no question but what Gan
dill received an increase over his for
mer salary. The players salaries are
as a rule never made public. 1t is a
precedent established in baseball. The
signing Of Gandtl takes a burden on
Manager Grifith's shoulders. The
first Sacker was never hold-out. He
thought he was deserving of more
money. and he certainly was.

Many Youngsters in Big Clash
Five 1905 Veterans Still Left

have also figured in three post-sea-
son contlicts-l905, 1910 and 1911.
Neering from the veterans to- the
tyros. the Giants and Athletics each
possess several young players who
have yet to go through the refining
fire Of worlds series. Some of the
youngsters on each team will in all
probability be pressed into the big
games.
Two young Giants will play 8,
prominent part in the onrushing Sc
ries. They are George Burns. the
regular left fielder. and Al Demaree,
who is leading the National League
pitchers in his first year as regular.
Both Burns and Demaree played
last seasons series with the Boston
Red SoX from the bench. Demaree
was ineligible to participate, While
Burns lacked experience. However.
they absorbed a plethora of knowl-
edge, which should aid them materi-
ally when the test comes.
Grover Cleveland Hartley. catcher,
and Jim Thorpe and Claude Cooper.
Outfielders, will view the big battle
from the side lines. II is hardly like
ly that either will be called upon to
play more than for an inning or two,
when things seem hOpelcssly lost for
the Giants. McGraw will not Use
them if the Giants are leading, for
he will tempt no risk.
Fleet Emergency Runners.
Thorpe and Cooper will be the
emergency runners for the "leaden
fleet" when there is a chance Of gain
ing anything by the substitution.
Each can speed over the one hundred
yards in close to record time; SO it
can be seen how invaluable such
fleet runners are in time of need.
The Athletics also claim a number
of embryo stars who have never be ar
in the worlds series except from
the grandstands. The list includes
a catcher, an outfielder and three
pitchers.
The masKman we have reference 10
is Waly SChang. who is already a
catcher of repute. Schang is rated
among the best catChers in the big
leagues and he will probably be asked
to bear the brunt of the catching re-
sponsibility. although he has been N
big teams less than year.
Shawkey, Bush and Houck are the
fiedglinEs of Connie MaCk's pitching
corps. The ability shown by all three
warrants the willy NacGillicuddy in
using them should his veterans fAll

IT HE demand of major league
clubs for youth and speed is
inexorable. The truth of this
is forcibly expressed by a cursory ex-
animation of the box scores OF the
worlds series of 1905 and the ones
which will be in vogue when the
Giants and Athletics clash in the
worlds series of 1918, a week from
Monday. on which day the opening
imbroglio viii be staged at the Polo
Grounds.
But five of the participants in the
1905 struggle between the Giants and
Athletics are still drawing salary
from the same clubs. Mention Of
the names of the survivors of eight
years of major league warfare reveals
the interesting fact that pitchers en-
dure big league service longer than
any other players.
Christy Mathewson and George
Wiltse, of the Giants; Chief Bender,
Eddie Plank and Harry Davis, of the
Athletics, have withstood the raw
ages OF time with more resistance
than any Of the others who shared in
the spoils of the 1905 tussle.
The first four named are pitchers.
Davis has outlived his usefulness as
a major league first baseman. He is
acting in the capacity of first lieu
tenant to Manager Connie Mack. and
is being retained solely because of
his knowledge of the intriCacies Of
the national froliC.
Thus with Davis eliminated as an
active player. We have four mound
men who refuse to wlther under
Times assault, while the two score
or more players in other departments
have departed Matty, Wiltse Plank
and Bender were practically new
corners then; they are tried and true
veterans now. And at least three of
them will figure prominently in the
coming clash.
Veterans Conserve Energy.
The reason that these four hurlers
have been able TO last so long and
To retain their effectiveness so long.
is that each is a master IN the art Of
conservation. They have long since
learned the foolhardinesS of putting
every ounce Of energy in every pitch
They argue that there are eight other
players in the field to assist them and
to eXtriCate them from difficulties.
And they pitch accordingly.
Not one OF the quartet is ever out
to establish pitching records They
are in there to keep the enemy from
scoring. irrespective of how often
they are hit safely. Their mastery
over the ball and their baseball aCu-
men form a combination that has
uded them over a decade of big
league activity.
Matty and wjltse have already
served in three Morld's series-1eO5.

had all the luck against Boston and
turned off two victories. In neither
game was he greatly pressed, yet he
was effective at all times and there
was lacking in his performance the
intense nervousness which marked
his work in 1911 Marquard, filled with
confidence, is to-day at the pinnacle
of his power He is big enough and
powerful enough to pitch the entire
series, if necessary. l can not see how
the Athletics, who are usually easy
for good southpaw tossing. can pos
sibly stop the "Rube" if the Giants
stand up behind him and give him
couple of runs in each start. Tesreau,
hampered all season through wild
ness, seems finally to have regained
control. He will bear watching.
THE Athletic infield overshadows the
Giants. 1t is acknowledged one of
the greatest of all time. 1t will be
much stronger than two seasons back,
for "Stufy" McInnis will be cavorting
around first base. Harry Davis hit
well in that series, but covered little
more ground than where his brogans
rested. The Philadelphia quartet's
claim to distinction lies principally in
hitting ability. New York Is little in
ferior in fielding skill, and doubtless
possesses far greater speed.
The outfield is a toss-up. Mack
doubtless has hitting advantage here
also on what has passed this cam
paign. But that is because McGraw's
most dependable sluggers have failed
to live up to past performances. Nc
Graw's trio will hold up their own in
fielding and will outshine their rivals
in speed. In experience, too, New York
has the call. "Rube" Oldring is the
only Mack gardener who has been
thoroughly seasoned by worlds series
fire Burns is the only Giant out
fielder who has not been put to the
acid test.
D 9TH teams are very staunch be-
II hind the bat Should ANYTHING

Larry Mclean to step into the breach
He is one of the most reliable back
stops to be had Mack has depended
a great deal all season on Schang. He
has been a dandy catcher and every
thing said of recruits goes for him
think MCGraw the better provided in
substitutes. The best tribute to his
strength is the presence on the bench
of such a mighty man as Charlie Her
zOg.
Summing up, then. the teams are
just about evened up in fielding. Mack
has the best hitters, but McGraw the
most speed. The catchers are evened
up, but MCGraw has a distinct ad-
vantage in pitching strength. That
and his speed should more than offset
the superior hitting prowess of the
White Elephants.
