Glove Mascot of All Players
Crane Tells of Elberfeld's Mitt'

forts of the Giants have not resulted
quite so winningly we like to go back
to that period-but we digress.
In the last game the jersey CitYs
played this, year-or near the last,
anyhow--Mike made home run that
had big influence on the final result.
In fact, I think 1t was Mikes circuit
clout that won the game for the
Shelters" Mike was considerably
elated, and then some. Mike be IL
said-and ] am forfeiting no conf
denoe-is slated to manage the
'Skeeters" next year, and that homer
was great big spike for him with
the club owners.
In the miX-up over the homer and
the consequent standardization Jersey
City did not have so many victories
to occasion the shooting off Of many
tireworks-Mik lost his glove.
And, by the way. there was a prize
of 50 pounds of tobacco that went
with the "Bakerite."
Anyhow, Mike peeked out through
the halo that encircled his brow and
bethought himself of that glove.
They All Disappeared.
A Jersey small boy was handy
just the same as they are in Harlem
and all over the woodland Mike
tossed him half dollar to go get that
glove. And Mike. having confidence
in the kid, also gave him an order for
that so pounds OF tobacco.
Neither the glove, the tobacco nor
the kid showed up
Mike had all the wires" working
he could think of to locate the kid, in
GLIDING Joe Humphrey, who an
nounced the sad loss from every prize
ring in Greater New York.
Then Mike was asked to go around
the world with the Giants and the
loss of the ancient mitt doomed up in
bigger proportions
Police Took Up the Hunt.
The police of jersey City were mott
fed and squads of detectives were put
on the job.
We hesitate to say that jersey City
detectives are better than the Waldo
board, but T. will say tho glove was
received, About the 80 pounds of TO
bacco I know not.
That glove was shipped by parcel
post yesterday TO Mike.
The Jersey City small boy is still al
liberty. but only because Mike Is on
his way around the world.

Knocks for Inter-League Series.
No Friends for Herrmann's Plan.

z Ut, as Messrs. Lynch and John
- son agree, there Is one big dis
advantage.
The Worlds Series has come to be
regarded as the Baseball Classic. 1t
is the short, sharp, crucial encounter
that settles for all time between two
particular clubs which shall enjoy the
title of worlds champion of a certain
year.
The settlement may not suit every
body. But as d matter of history the
better club usually wins And. any
way, the affair is settled in the good
American way--in a short, sharp, de-
cisive action.
. RIfXY LYNCH faneIes the long
drawn out interleaRue season
would result In a great loss OF inter
est, with the contests becoming mere
local series, not of national impor-
lance"

similar opinion.
And now even Jawn j. McCiraw ,
who has right to he sore on the
present SYSTEM if anybody has lines

Western League Will

ST. JOSEPH, MO. Dot. 27.-The
belief here is strong to-day that sew
eral new teams will appear on the
roster which now comprises the
Western League. Following the meet
ing Of the board OF directors, this be-
came known, and the report was
practically corroborated by John Hol-
land, owner of the local franchise.
who favors plans for a. revolution.
The league now is composed of ST.
Joseph, Lincoln, Des Moines. Sioux
city, Omaha, Topeka, Wichita and
Denver.
Topeka. Wichita and Sioux City,
according to the plans. will be
dropped, and Peoria, H.. Davenport,
Iowa, and Minneapolis will be added.
This is brought about by the poor
showings which have been invarla-
bly, made from financial standpoint
by Topeka, Wichita and Sioux City,
considered the weak sisters of the
league.

WOLGAST NOW
DUE To RETIRE,
SAYS NAUCHT0N
Expert Says AID Should Have
Walked Out of Game With
Battle After Recent Go,
BY W. W. Naughton.

G AN FRANCISCO, Oct 27.-very
y evidently the reunion held in
Milwaukee recently by AID VOL
CAST and Battling Nelson left. the two
ancient fire. eaters in bad shape. VOL
CAST is laid up with a splintered rib
and has had to forego the pleasure"
of boxing Charlie White, of Chicago.
Ad is careful not to let Nelson get
the credit of inflicting the damage. He
says that the rib was bent slightly
while training for Nelson, but that he
did not suffer any distress or incon-
venience while boxing the Dane. Then
when he began to train for White
jolt from a sparring partner fractured
the rib and d doctor called a halt on
further ring activities for a while.
The brush with Wolgast worked
injury to the most vulnerable portion
of Nelson's anatomy, to wit, his hands.
Bat is as hard-headed and rock
ribbed as in the years when the writer
dubbed him the Durable Dane, but
latterly he has had to visit bone doc
tor Reese after every bout he en-
gagged in.
1t is to be presumed that what
Bonesetter Reese said after this most
recent visit has had a discouraging
effect. for Nelson says he has deter
mined to retire from the ring.
OF course, Bat has retired before
many times for that matter-but he
wants it to be understood that all
previous retirements simply led up to
this one, This Is not to be Patti
farewell, but John l. Sullivan good
bye. Not even the prospect of an
other crack at Wolgast will bring
Nelson forth from his shell again.
Nolgast says he is merely laid up
for a while. Still those who saw the
old rivals in action in Milwaukee
think that Wolgast and Nelson should
have thrown their arms across each
others shoulders, like a pair of Dro-
MICS, and walked out of the game to-
oether

HARVARD RE|GNS.
SUPREME OVER
EASTERN TEAMS
Dartmouth Ranks Second to Grim
son Eleven at Present Rating.
Princeton Defeat Big Blow,
BY Frank G. Menke.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Harvard
" to-day reigns supreme In the
Eastern section of the football
world, with Dartmouth second,
Princeton third and Yale and Penn
sylvania about tied for fourth place.
One of the big regrets of this sea-
son is that Harvard and Dartmouth
for the first time in many years, will
not meet. Just now it looks as: if the
champion must be chosen from be-
tween these two teams, and not from
among Harvard, Princeton and Yale,
as in former years.
Each new contest in which Har-
ward figures more forcibly demon
strates the fact that the Crimson
squad this year is one of the best
football aggregations ever gathered
toeether-a team that has a stone
wall defense and a smashing, dash
ing offense that no opponent this year
has been able to stop.
THE Dartmouth aggregation, by its
to 0 victory over the speedy
Princeton outfit has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that it is now team
that ranks second only to Harvard,
and many there are who believe that
the heavy New Hampshire team, II
sent against the Crimson, would come
out a winner
Prinoetons defeat Saturday was a
crushing blow to its supporters, who
looked for a victory, or, at least, 4
lie score. The muddy condition Of
he field greatly handicapped the I'll
gers, who depend very largely or
their speed, but it was about as large
a handicap to the Dartmouth boys,
who were unable to use the forward
pass, one of the main dependencies, to-
any great extent.
SATURDAY was a day of surprises
- and one in which the dope"
was upset and scattered in seventeen
directions. Everywhere throughout
the East the games were played in
quagmires, but this gave one side. 80
much advantage a the other. Per-
haps on a dry field the results, how
ever, might have been different.
Next to Princeton's defeat by Dart
mouth the most surprising result was
the 0 to 0 Yale and Washington and
Jefferson score. The Ellis looked for
at least a 20 to score, and such d
miserable showing made by the Bull
dogs has thrown the coaches into de-
spair This was the second time this
season the heavy Yale outfit was
played to a standstill, the little Maine
team turning the trick several weeks
ago.
