WESTERN STARS IN
 FRONT TENNIS RANKS

With the end of the important ten his tournament season the close fol- lower of the game now has his eye on the executive end of the sport. Fore most of course is the probable rank ing of the ten foremost players. Those who watch every tourney believe the committee on ranking has on it's hands a slightly easier proposition than here tofore. The form of the California contin gent was such that the placing is not so hard as it would have been had the Western invaders not played in three big series.
 Tn order to place the players prop erIy the committee finds it essential to have at least three important strug- gles to gauge by. This year there will be the biggest sort of 9. shift and if half of last years leading ten are in cluded in the list again it will be sur prising-
 Naturally, no one will dispute the right of Maurice E. Mclaughlin to lead the procession with the coveted cham pionship safely slowed away. Neither will any one deny second place to Richard Norris Williams 2d, because he is unQuestionably the best player, barring Mclaughlin, in the country. Third place should go to William J. CIothier, but for the rest the Ca1ifor- nians make their bid.
 Just where Johnston, and the other Far Westerners who made their in itiaI Eastern invasion will be placed is hard to tell. Then Wallace F.John- son, G. F. Touchard, Theodore R.Pell, c. P. Gardner and few others of their in the first ten. Certain it is,however. that the committee this year has no dearth of results to contend with, as has some times been the case.

BALL PLAYERS LIKE
 WALLACE WELL PAID

Cleveland, Sept. 26.-The financial feature for a regular ball player with held by the game as 1t is presently constituted is big.
 It is larger than ever.
 The real baseball star may almost write his own ticket.
 In a fanfest, the subject of the amount that could be made out of baseball and how much should be saved was argued.
 Bobby Wallace was cited as the ex- ample.
 Considering his work in the Ameri- can league only, since he Joined the junior mjaor league organization, it was figured out that Col. Hedges had paid Wallace durin4ethe past thirteen years approxiIna tely $63, 900.
 This the colonel refused to affirm or deny.
 Wallace was considered to never have drawn less than $3,5Oo the year, and it was generally agreed that as manager of the Browns he did not re- ceive under $6, 800.
 Assuming that Wallace jumped the National league on three-year con tract for $5, ,5OO, that would aggregate a melon of $16, 800 for three years to begin with.
 In the years 19045-6-7-s-9-10-11, t was further agreed that Wallace av- eraged $4, 500 at the top notch, which would add $56, GOO more to the money that talented veteran has taken out of the game.
 For a part of 1911 he was manager and was receiving more than $4, 500. In 1912 his contract was decorated with figures which totaled not less than $6,- 500 and probably more.
 For the current season, it is under stood, Wallace is receiving $4000, which is more than Wallace is worth to the Browns at present, but which, in view of his past work, is none too large for the esteem in which he is generally held in American league circles.\
 This totals $63, 900 as the amount which Wallace has taken from base ball as manager and private.

ONLY ENGLISH BOSS
 OF BALL PLAYERS

New York, Sept. 26.-If, as is fre- quently rumored, Harry Smith be- comes manager of the Brooklyns next spring, he will be the first Englishman to manage a big league team. MT. Smith is a Yorkshire man, but thor oughly acc1imated and Americanized although it took him a long time to say "Go on round" instead of "Jolly well cut-run 1t oUt?' Some of the fine points of the game, however, were absorbed very rapidly by MT. Smith.
 For instance, he hadn't played base ball thre days before he stopped say ing "Aw, pawdon me, MT. Umpire, but really believe you were in error-we will debate that decision, y'know, over a dish of tea'-and substituted "Wot ails yuh-ain't yuh got no eyes, y'oId bat?'' All of which shows how rapidly baseball Americanizes its devotees, and what a real melting pot the game has grown to be.

AMERICAN.
INTERCO FOOTBALL,
 IN FULL SWING TOMORROW

Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth will open the football season tomorrow, when the contest for the American intercollegiate grid iron supremacy will be on in full swing. The game scheduled for to- morrow between Princeton and Rut- gers is of historic significance, since it was the teams of these two institu- tions that participated in the first in terco11egiate football battle in America in 1869. Harvard's showing will be watched with interest, as the Grim son aggregation is a strong favortte in the 1913 race. Harvard has a lot of good veteran material and pracH- ca1ly all the wise guys pick the Cam bridge lads to land the pennant in the football big league. Prfnceton's s men are full of spunk and ginger and talent, but they lack beef. The aver age weight of the Tiger squad Is around 165 pounds. Which diaposes of Princeton, for it is a fact, based on undeniabIe statistics, that on the gridiron in the ring, good big man is nearly always better than a good little honbre. The Pennsy e1ev- en has been all shot to pieces, owing to the fact that Captain Mercer and a number of other stars have been given their sheepskins and sent out into the cruel world.
 The games of the next few weeks are preparatory to the pig contests CO be staged in November, beginning on the first with an intersecttonal clash between Syracuse and Michigan at Ann Arbor. Later in the month Michigan will play Cornell at Ithaca and Pennsy at Ann Arbor, while Syracuse will tackle St Louis Univer sity in St. Louis. The first of the Big Three battles will be played at Princeton on Nov. 8, when the little Tigers will try to make meal of the husky Crimsons. Tiger and Bulldog will raise a rookus in New Haven week later, and on the 22nd the Ellis and the Johnnies will mtngle in classic Cambridge. The Polo Grounds in New York will be the scene of the Army Navy tussle on the 29th of No vember, marking the close of the sea- son.
 The rule permitting kicks from points immediately behind thP line, in stead of from five yards back, is ex- pected to result in more open play this season. There are no other import ant changes in the football code, and the ''debrutalized'' rules of 1912 will continue to govern.
 Just now there is a Crimson glow all over the East, and all of the dope sters are remarking, in unicorn, as H. Togo would say, that Harvard is the goods. But who knows what?

FOOTBALL

The Walnuts have organized for the season with one of the fastest teams in the city. Their average weight will be 105-110 pounds. They are under the management of William Mcclure, who managed the fast White Sox Semi Pro. base ball team of this city. Jerry Murphy has been secured for head coach and with Bill Mcclure holding the reins it should be a winning com bination. Jerry needs no introduction to the 1cca1 football followers, as he is one of the best coaches to be had in town. The club has a few games booked to date and have a few more to be filled by any team in the city or state at 105-110 pounds. The Green and White are well known in the town for their stellar performances last sea- son when they won the championship in their class. Practice is held every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday morn ing. Any challenges can be sent to Bill Mcclure, business manager Wal nuts, 11S Rennel street, city.

LEACH CROSS FIGHTS
 JOE RIVERS ON COAST
Ry T. s. Andrews.l

The boxing promoters at Los An geles are to make an effort to reopen the game October 14. Tom McCarey has matched Leach Cross and Joe Riv- CTS for that date at the Vernon arena and expects to go through with it without any interference. There is no reason why they should not be per mitted to go along as usual, for accf- dents are bound to happen, no matter what kind of sport. Many persons have been killed in automobile races, motorcycle races,; baseball and football the past season, but nothing has ever been said about stopping those sports. Cross and Rivers will make a strong card and the Mexican will have his chance to reverse the verdict against him some time ago at the hands of the New York dentist.
 Jimmy C1abby. the c1everest middle weight in the country today without a doubt, will have a task on his hands October when he tackles Sailor Pe- troskey, the California middle weight, at Oakland, Cal. The weight is to be 158 at 5 p, n., which means that the native son will go into the ring about 10 to 12 pounds to the good. It Is a. big handicap for g. boy like C1abby to give, but his c1everness will no doubt carry bin through all right. Too bad that Jimmy has not got about 10 pounds to his frame. If he had he would be the champion without doubt At that he is as near the goal as any of the 15S pounders and must be figured on for the title.
 Battling Nelson and Ad wolgast are at war again. The Batt1er has never forgotten the time the Michigan bear cat took away his title in a sensa- tiona1 bout at Port Richmond, Cal, after 40 rounds of hard fighting, and he wants to get another crack at his rival, no matter whether it is for a title not. The Battler has retired several times, but like Patti he comes back again. The Hegewisch mayor says he will meet Wolgast in Milwau- kee any time, any place and for any purse, just to show that he is not Town and out A Milwaukee club is thinking of bringing them together.
