FULLBACK MINDS
LOST TO QyAKERS
Penn Star Hurts Shoulder and
Can't Play Against Mich
igan.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 15-Coach
Brooke yesterday afternoon drove the
University of Pennsylvania football
team through a snappy signal prac-
tice at the Detroit Country Club. 1t
was the final workout for the eleven
before the game at Ann Arbor with
the University of Michigan.
Chester Minds, the star ful1back,
who fell down the steps of the Coun-
try Club Thursday and injured his
weak shoulder, was not able to prac-
tice. Coach Broke said last night that
Minds would not start the game, and
there was only a slight poSsib bill ty
that he will play at all. Avery was
substituted.
The coach also said that Merrill
would play quarterback instead of the
speedy Dick Marshall. MarshalFs in
ability to handle punts caused Brooke
to make the change.
The squad left for Ann Arbor on
a special train accompanied by dele
cation of Pennsylvania students.

WHITE SOX WIN
BY GREAT RALLY
American Leaguers Land on
FrOmme of Giants in Ninth.

San Francisco, Nov. 15-Staging a
ninth-inning rally and working just as
hard as they might against an oppos-
ing American League club in the thick
of the pennant race, the reinforced
White Sox walloped the Giants yester-
day. Facing a two-run lead as they
opened the last inning of the final
session, Callahan's clan, by dint of
much slugging, won out, to 2. The
victory made two straight for the Sox
in the Bay City.
1t was case of hard swatting that
turned defeat into victory. Arthur
F.romne Was driven from the box and
jeff Tesreau acted as relief. --s
F'romme and LeVerenz faced each
other when the game was called, and
for a greater portion of the contest
they pitched flawless ball. Leverenz
might have stayed the game out, but
Tom Daley was used as pinch hitter,
and Benz twirled the last inning for
the -Sox. The St. Louis HEAVIER had
allowed the Giants but five hits, and
up to the sixth inning Snodgrass had
the only single that was registered.
Fromme was not touched to any ex-
tent until the quartet of singles and
doubles came in the ninth. Up to that
inning the Sox had gathered but four
hits, and, save for an opening in the
eighth, they did not look to have a
chance to send their men around the
bases.

GIBBONS KNOCKS
MARTY ROWAN OUT
st. Paul WhirIWind Lands
Heavily on YOungster In
Second Run.

Mike Gibbons Of st. Paul, picked up
some easy change at the opening of
the TWyford A. c., in Brooklyn, last
night The ST. Paul wonder was
scheduled to meet Marty Rowan of
Brooklyn for ten rounds, but in the
second session A. McMurray, manager
of the Brooklyn lad, jumped into the
ring to save his protege from further
punishment.
Gibbons dislayed his usual speed and
c1everness and had no trouble in land
ing on Rowan. Mike had Marty on
the ropes from a wicked right hand
swing when the bout was stopped The
weights were announced as Gibbons,
149; Rowan. 1872
Gibbons landed a hard left and a
right at the beginning of the second
round and Rowan clinched. After
the break away the st. Paul fighter
did some fancy boxing and then sent
Rowan Keeling against the ropes with
a terrific left to the body, and a right
to the jaw. Rowan rushed and Glib
bons again crashed a short right to
the jaw that staggered Rowan.
Mike made Rowan miss several wild
swings and then stepped in with the
finishing blows, a hard left to the body
and a, crushing right to the jaw.
Rowan fell in a dazed condition on
the lower rope and it was at this
stage that McMurray decided the
Brooklyn lad could beat Billy Papke,
but not Mike Gibbons.

PRAISED
BY jim CORBE1T
(By James J. Corbett.)

Willie Richie is grand little
fighter. Fighter is the word. He
doesn't rely on the clever stuff alone
to win his battles. He sails right in
from the tap of the bell and never lets
up until the gong rings again for tho
minute intermission. He looks the
best champion the class has known
since Joe Cans reigned supreme.
Not that Willie showed US much Of
the scientific stuff in the Cross bout.
On the contrary he discarded skill
in favor of smuggling, meeting Cross at
his favorite style of milling, and
what's more outfought and outslugged
the local man in every one of the ten
rounds. After seeing him pull the
clever stuff in training it was a sur
prise indeed to watch him stand toe to
toe with Cross, reputed the hardest
hitter in the 1913 pound class, and eX-
change wa1lop for wallop.
Richie told me before the bout
that he wanted to show New Workers
he is a fighter, not an accidental
geance. While in the opinion of the
experts Ritchie as a boxer failed TO
equal the showing of Mcfarland and
Britton in their bouts with Cross the
unanimous verdict of the unprejudic-
| ed zjudges present was that as a fighter
he is the goods.
Cross was a lucky young man 20
survive the third round. Richie put
him down twice, the second time for
nine seconds, and only the champion S
anxiety to finish matters in a hurry
and the fact that the round was al
most over saved the local man from
a Knockout.
Richie is well worthy the title OF
champion. Over the ten round dis
lance he's a bear, and in a longer
| bout he should be even better, judg-
| ing from what he showed against
Cross after he warmed to his job.
Freddy Welsh might outpoint
Richie in a ten round bout-if lucky
enough to weather the attacks of the
Californian for that length of time.
can't think of any other boy in the
division who looks to have the ghost
of a chance to beat Willie.
Too bad Packey Mcfarland cant
make the weight demanded by the
chanpion-135 pounds ringside. That
would make a great match. McFar-
land with his great speed and clever
ness and Richie with his strength
| hitting power, and endurance. Some

RIG CROWD CHEERS
DARTMOUTH-CARLISLE

New York, Nov. 15-The trans
formed Polo Grounds made it's debute
in football, today. The game there
between Dartmouth and Carlisle was
the first important contest New York
has seen in several years. The choice
seats, today, were in the center of
the field, opposite what month ago
were first and third bases.
Followers of the game we're favored
with ideal football weather, clear and
cold. Dartmouth was a favorite in
the betting.
An innovation was the numbering
of the players. In response to re-
quests of spectators and newspaper
men, Dartmouth's management con-
scented to let their players wear num-
erals on their backs. Other colleges,
however, refused to adopt this plan
on the ground that it was helpful to
opponents in discovering their trick
moves.

organization of club stock eliminated
this objection to his candidacy.
Tener's campaign will be backed by
the American league. Ban johnson is
very anxious to have associated with
the National Commission a man of
such universal reputation and esteem.

(By Wagner.)

When the final scores of today'S big
football contests have been flashed on
the bulletin boards we will have a
pretty good idea which team is the
champion of the east. The outcome OF
the Dartmouth-CarliIse battle will
either eliminate the Green as a title
contender or else put the IIanovar
boys in a position to claim the honor.
The result of the Yale-Princeton
clash will not mean so much, although
in the event of Yale victory the Ellis
could gain conside cradle fame by beat
ing Harvard the following Saturday.
OF course YaIe's defeat at the hands of
out of the running, but by beating
Princeton and Harvard they could
claim second place.
Pennsylvania is depended upon to
uphold the cast in the struggle with
Michigan The latter team has al
ready beaten Syracuse and Cornell
while Notre Dame has won from West
Point. So somebody must win de-
cision for the east.
The Bridgeport A. G. players expect
to make a, good showing against the
Washington Glee club in New Haven
tomorrow. All members of the local
team are requested to report ait New
field park at $3.50 tomorrow morning.
President Fu1tz of the Players Fra
ternity says the organization will take
care of players who run short of
money during the winter. It was

giving them any advance money and

their demands are granted.

Annex game in New Haven, he kicked
a goal from placement from the 81
yard line, which was said to be the
longest kick ever registered at New

speediest quarterbacks in the east, and
without any doubt, the 1ightest man
playing the position today. He has
been playing with the Annex eleven
of New Haven lately, but will surely
be in the Fort S1ocum lineup on Sun
day Lieutenant Prince, who will UNI
pire the contest, is an All-American
guard. He gained considerable fame
while he was at West Point and is
a thorough student of the game. The

Her face was SCARED to such an
extent that when the wound healed
only small hole was left where the
mouth had been. SO small was the
opening that the little finger could be
inserted with difficulty. Nothing was

covering Of SCARED flesh.
A large Zap of flesh was cut from
the child's abdomen, one side being
left attached to the body. Then a
slit WI made In the arm OF the patti
