Quaker Coach to Give New
Men Chance to Show Met
al and Beat Out Old
Stars.

All football men look alike to
Horace Whiteside, the new football
coach at Earlham college and as a
consequence the players on last years
team will have to work as hard as any
of the new men to gain place on the
varsity squad this year.
At least this Is the way 1t looked
at practice last evening when nineteen
men reported for duty on Reid field,
eight old men and eleven new recruits.
The practice this afternoon was heav-
Ter than that of last evening and a
much larger number were in mole
skins.
Most of the practice last evening
was devoted to the attempt to develop
cork" and no attempt was made to
60 through plays. Running down
punts and practice formations compos-
ed the work out. Practically every
one of the new players looked good
as strong contenders for the team
The large majority of men had not
arrived at the college and this &C,
counts for the comparatively small
number of men on the field.
Wants Thirty-Five Men.
Coach Whiteside expects at least
thirty-five players to appear on the
field by the end of the week. From
this number, he believes he will be
able to pick a good squad to give a
greater part of his attention.
The new coach showed last evening
that there would be no fooling with
the players and that he meant bust
ness from the start. The old players
were not shown an advantage in be-
ing placed in the same position they
played last year but will be tried out
in all the positions until the coach is
assured to their fitness.
Kinnaman, who had been playing
tackle, was tried out at end yesterday
Senior and Lancaster were also
switched from their accustomed po
sitions. Bowen, Thornton and Dick
Mills were also given stiff work outs
yesterday. Big Fowler, who played
on the line last year, was out in suit
yesterday. Herb Logan, the Bloom
ingdale star, did not arrive at the col
lege until last night but was on the
field this afternoon and will be a
strong contender for the pivotal pc
sition. Morisch the Paramount Acad
envy star, appeared on the field last
evening and looks good.

|B0WLERS TO START
CITY ALLEY PLAY
League Will Open Season
With Schedule Selection
Tuesday Night.

The City Bowling League will open
the season at the City Alleys on North
Ninth street, next Tuesday night. The
league is made up of four teams, each
headed by a captain.
At an informal meeting of the
league this week it was decided to

Friday nights of each week. Names
for the different teams were discussed,
but will not be accepted until the
next meeting of the members. The
trophy for which the teams will con,
test has not been selected. 1t was
proposed that the teams pay in a Ger.
tain sum of money to be used in the
purchase of suitable trophy. A
schedule of games will be adopted
Tuesday night.
The Knights of Columbus will start
a bowling league at the City Alley the
first Monday in October. This organ

CHECKER FANS.
ASK TOURNEY
FOR CITY TITLE
Request Highlands to Ar
range Meeting at Y. M. C.
A.-Popularity of Game
Shows Steady Increase.

The growing popularity Of checkers
as an indoor sport may lead 0. A.
Highlands. assistant secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A., to stake checked tourna-
ment during the winter to determine
the championship Of the city.
During the summer months there
has been a constant demand for the
checker men, the players contesting
at two and three tables at time dur
Ing the day and evening. Since the
nights have grown cooler many gather
around the boards and watch the play
ing. Because of the number of prOmis-
ing young players it is believed the
tournament would be decidedly sue
cessful. Examinations may be held at
the last of next month or in Novem'
Der.
Whether it would be better to have
the tournament in two divisions, one
for the old and more experienced
players and the other for the younger
players has not been determined. The
tentative plan is for eliminations for
championship of each class, with a
match between the two title holders
for the city honors.
Persons interested in the sport have
asked Mr.. Highlands to take charge
of the meeting, making all general
ARRANGEMENTS.

MAY RAISE BREAD

Bakeries may soon be as obsolete
and antiquated as the earthen ovens
Indians formerly used to prepair their
maize, if the plan of I. G. McMahan
to raise bread trees is a success. Mr..
McMahan. formerly an Indianian, is a
brother of E. P. McMahan, 419 Pearl
street.
Mr.. McMahan's attention was first
attracted to the bread tree, the fruit
of which greatly resembles loaf OF
bakers bread, when some relatives
were shipwrecked in the tropics. By
grating with hardy northern plants
he see unlimited possibilities, such
as trees laden with plum buildings,
devils food cake, peach cobbler, apple
dumplings and innumerable delicacies
that will save the housewife no end OF
hours over the baking oven.
