such years as shall be allotted Olympic games.

Alvin E.. Kraenzlein, who recently sailed for Germany to take charge of the German Olympic training corps which will prepare the German ath- letes for the games to be held at Ser lin, is the second American trained athlete to assume such a position Like Ernie Hjertberg, who prepared the Swedish team for the games at Stockholm in 1912, Kraenzlein was born abroad and came to this coun- try in his youth He attained athletic prominence in Milwaukee while still in his teens As a student at the West Division High school he was looked upon as a youthful phenomenon. As an example of his ability he is cred ited with 100 yards in 10 2-5 seconds, in 1897. From the Milwaukee high school he entered the University of Wisconsin and later left the Badgers for the University of Pennsylvania.
 It was while track team candidate there that he came to the notice of the famous trainer, Mike Murphy. The latter realized that Kraenzlein posses sed athletic ability of unusual caIibre and proceeded to give him personal at tention and coaching. As result the young German developed into one of the best intercollegiate track and field champions that ever carried varsity co1ors to victory. Possessed of great stride and spring he soon proved to be the leading sprinter and hurd1er of his day. Kraenzlein was at the height of his athletic career in 1900 when he scored eigtten points for Pennsylvania at the Intercollegiate te games by winning the 100 yard dash, 12O and 22O yard hurdles and second place in the broad jump
 Kraenzlein was the first broad jumper to pass the 24 foot mark and at one time held seven worlds rec ords Although he specialized in the sprints. hurdles and broad jump he would have proved a splendid all- around athlete had he tried for that title. He cleared six feet in the high jump: threw the dlsn11a to within a

Cambridge, Mass, oct. 7.-The weak ness at quarterback developed in the two games played by the Harvard football team this season Is the pr1n- cipal source of uncertainty to Crimson coaches. Logan, a substitute Of last year and a second string man of this season, ran the eleven yesterday, and his work impressed the coaches ta- vorabIy, some of them saids after the secret practice.
 The work of the team was light Examination of the man following inc game with Bates Saturday showed an other of the Crimson ends to be tn- iured. O,Brien, a first string man, hay ing suffered an injury to his knee which will keep him out of the game several days Coolidge went to nia place.

JIM THORPE MAY
 PROVE GOOD MAN
Short Paragraphs Of General Interest In Sporting
 World

New York, Oct. 7-Jim Thorpe, the Sac and Fox Indian, of Olympic games and football fame, who has spent the summer learning professional baseball under the tutelage of John J. McGraw, is beginning to show signs of develop ing into a, big league player. Although he has done little toward aiding the Giants in winning the National Lea que pennant of 1913 since he signed a New York club contract, Thorpe has not wasted his time spent upon the players bench. According to other members of the club the Indian will be ready to break into fast company before the middle of the 1914 season if he continues to improve next spring at the pace he has been maintaining g in the past few months.
 Thorpe proved absolutely green, so far as big league baseball was con cerned, when he joined the Giants training squad at Marlin Springs, Tex, early in the spring. Aside from his national athletic prowess and the abil- ity to drive out tremendous hits when he could hit the ball, he was the veri- est kind of a ''rookie.'' He showed McGraw, however, that he was willing g and eager to learn, and he has been one of the hardest workers during all the practice sessions of the Giants. He developed surprising speed on the bases and fields and throws in excel lent style. His one weakness is inabil- ity to wait for a good ball when at

CARDS FOR THE VIOLATORs
Persistent Offenders May Be Arrested - Text of Law

TheA Connecticut company is plan ming a spoIite campaign among pas sengers who unwittingly violate the new state law against -smo moking or car rying lighted cigars or cigarettes in closed cars The law provides a. fine of S10 for any one who persists in theNvioIationA after being given proper notice by theg conductor. There will be no arguing or exchanging of com lpliTnents between the conductor and the passengers over the law. The conductor will simply walk up to the violator and give him a printed slip, reading:
 We respectfully call your attention to the new law passed by the last general assembly The matter has evidently escaped your notice.
 THE CONNECTICUT COMPANY. .''
 If passenger ignores this notice, he may be arrested In addition to this method of warning violators, the trolley company will put up cards over the fare registers on all the cars and small notices on the front and rear windows.
 This law went into effect on Au- gust 1st, but open cars have been used most of the time up to the pres ent time. Asythe closed cars are be- ing putin for permanent service, the trolley company sees the need of providing some method of enforcing the law

 Restrictton-Seetion 1. No person shall have a lighted cigarette, cigar, or pipe Tn his possession upon any. closed street railway passenger ear.

It is understood that MT. Hartman since his visit to England in the sum mer with several members of the 1913 varsity crew is more convinced than ever that the rowing men Of Oxford and Cambridge possess the real secret of pulling a shell through the water with the maximum of speed and the minimum of effort. HarTard's over whelnning victory over Yale at New London IastsJune proved nothing in the opinion of those who are giving their support to MT. Hartman in his efforts to rehabilitate rowing at New Haven
 Not even the most anti-Brittsh fol- lower of rowing would asert that Har- vard's triumph over the Blue crew on the Thames proved that the native brand of watermanship was superior to that practised on the Cam and Isis Goodness knows what the eight men in the Yale shell were trying to do in that stretch between. the Navy Yard and the railroad bridge last June They were certainly not giving an ex- hibition of the Oxford. school Of row ing It seemed to be a case Of every man for himself.

BONESETTER REESE
 EXPLAINS HOW HE
 FIXES BALL PLAYERS

Detroit. Oct. "A man, his hair so
 white as to seem like finely spun
 threads of silver, ran up to the steps leading to the Colonial hotel at Mount
 Clemens, Mich, a few days ago. This
 man, with eyes of tanta1izing bluish-
 gray, had cheeks that were flushed wit the glow of health. His mous-
 ache, which was as siIvery as his
 hair, dropped over lips that seemed
 as though they had been chisled in
 his face. His features were as free
 fl om wrinkles as youths. The
 stranger who attracted the imm ediate attention of even the patients of a Mount Clemens bath-house, entered the swinging doors of the hotel and
 stepping briskly to the desk wrote: John D. Reese, Youngstown, O., and wife and daughter
 'T'd like a suite Of rooms, front I rooms,'' he said as he stood at at- 1 tention, it seemed, in front of the desk. ''Yes-Mr. Reese,'' returned the clerk

WORLDS SERIES SHOWN

Two expert operators who officiat- ed with great success in Newark N. J., last year, have been engaged to manipulate the P1ayOgraph, which will reproduce the worlds series at the Armory. These men are familiar with the mechanism and patrons Of the Armory are certain there will be no delay. The P1ayograph is the only original instrument of Its kind. It has been tried in past years and has pleased the public.

few inches of the record, and ran the quarter under fifty seconds. After completing his active athletic career he followed in the footsteps of Mike Murphy and turned trainer.
 After several years. at Mercersburg Academy and Harvard Grammar school, Kraenz1ein succeeded Keene Fitzpatrick as athletic trainer at the University of Michigan In selecting him for the position of head athletic director the Germany Olympic Com mission made no mistake. As athlete and trainer Kra enzIein has had an ex- ce1lent record and the Olympic games will not prove a strange field, for he won four hrsts for the United States at the Paris meet in 1900.
 Fngland's invasion Of the American sports field will end next week with the playing of the United States Golf Association's Women's Championship at Wilmington, Del. The Union Jack will be represented by three of Eng lands best golfers in the Misses Mur- iel Dodd, Mabel Harrison and Gladys Ravenscroft. Miss DOdd holds the British title; Miss Ravenscroft was the 1912 champion and Miss Harrison was for three years the Irish title-ho1der. All three are golfers of excellent style and ability and are sure to prove dan gerous contenderS TOT the Onlted States Championship. Should one of the trio win the title tournament it could hardly be termed a novelty in American golf, for Miss Dorothy Campbell captured first honors in this event in 1909 and 1910. The present American champion, Miss Margaret Campbell, will have achieved honors little short of those which crown Fran cis Ouimet if she can successfully hold her title against the triple attack of the English chal1engers.
