Soccer Is Popular Because
Youngsters Can Play Game

The game which Is bound to be
popular In any country Is the game
which the poor boy can play without
great expense. One of these is base
ball, another Is soccer. Both are
open-air sports and both require
about the same qualities, viz, speed,
brains and skill.
Soccer is the game of the proletariat
in England; cricket the game of the
wealthy. Soccer has spread to all cor
ners of the earth in the wake of the
colonizing Englishman. 1t has spread
all over Europe, and the soldiers In
the great war play 1t between battles.
1t has grown with rapid strides In
America, until now there are teams
here which can put up creditable ex-
hibitions Of the sport.
Some of the great English teams
have been known to come over here
and get setback they no more ex-
pected than did the American base
ball teams that first went to Cuba
and found the islanders could every
now and then put one over on them.
Speed, brains and ability to use the
feet with as much accuracy as the
hands are necessary in the making OF
@ great soccer player. 1t Is seldom
that a player who has not been at
the game from childhood Ia of much
use, as the kicking Is the hardest
part of the game to learn. II requires
more practice than hockey or lacrosse
or baseball, as in these games the
hands are used most, while in soccer
the hands are out of the game.
Soccer il comparatively new
game. 1t 10 not nifty years old. In the
early 70s 1t was tried out in England
and an association formed. in which
the rugby game was discarded and
the players not allowed to handle the
ball with their hands. This football
association gave Its name to the
kicking game, as rugby had thereto
fore been known as football, even as
II Is in the United States.
Among the American and Canadian
born players, 1t Is usually referred to
TO this day as association football.

DOPE SHOWS HOW MACK USED
POOR JUDGMENT IN BIG SERIES

Many baseball writer's claim that
Connie Mack showed poor Judgment
when he didn't send in his left
handlers TO BATTLE the batsmen of the
Boston Braves In the big series.
Why didn't he use them when he
found that Mr.. Plank had the men
of Stallings foiled-that is, almost
foiled? The writer's based their
claims from the fact that the
Braves. including Hank Gowdy. were
very weak against southpaw fling
ers. and that Messrs. Plank and PEN
mock had them all fused UP.
II 10 true that the Braves showed
poor form when facing left-handers
from the opening period until they
every team-and not for the moment
forgetting Mr.. McGraw's Giants--in
the National League. In the first
two months OF the race the Braves
faced southpaw pitching in some
fifteen games, and only won three
of them. This would indicate they
could not hit the southpawing Of
such men an Marquard, Benton,
Vaughn. Sallee. Cooper and Rucker.
The hurting OF RUDE Benton was
especially hard for the Braves to
solve; II they had to face such pitch
ing as Benton served to them two
or three times q week, there would
have been no actors from the camp
of Etaillngs this white. In the four
games In which b4nton hurled
against Boston they succeeded In
making sixteen base hits off the Gin
cinnati left-hander.
The batsmen OF Stallings were at
bat 1,0S9 times during the entire sea-
son against eft-handed pitching and
made 23l hits, q batting average OF
.2i2. which II about fifty points be-
low their total average for tho sea-
son. When the Braves began their
triumphant march pennantward left
handlers were swept out of their path
with about as much gusto as theil
right handed brethren. In fact, when

For the first time In the history OF
rowing on the Atlantic coast a col
lege crew is to cross the continent 10
compete with a crew on the Pacific
coast. The University of Pennsyl-
vania varsity eight will be sent to
row in a special event at the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
next July.
This trip viii be in the nature Of
o reward for the showing of the var
sity crew at the last Hudson river
regatta at Poughkeepsie, in which
the Philadelphians finished second to
the victorious Columbia varsity in
the four-mile event.
The varsity the coming season will
have nearly all of last years crew in
the shell. 1t Is also believed that the
innovation will provide a great i'm
petus to rowing at the Quaker insti-
tuition.
Rowing at the University Of Penn
sylvania last season cost much less
than the appropriation that was
made for the sport, and consequent
y provision can be made for the
expenses of the eight.
Invitations have been sent 10 other
colleges in the East. but 1t is believed
that the cost OF the trip will prevent
their acceptance. II Is intimated that
the exposit ton may do something in
the way of paying the expenses of
competing crews. in which case there
would be more likelihood of strong
representation of college oarsmen

Paul Des Jardien. of the Unlver-
sity of Chicago and the general Sc
lection of the Western football ex-
perts for centre of the Western
eleven, is one of the most versatile
and prominent college athletes in the
Middle West. He is a wonder in
every branch Of collegiate sport. He
is the centre OF the Chicago basket
ball team. pitcher for the baseball
nine and a point getting trackman.
He bids fair to land twelve C's, a
record equaled by no other man at
Chicago. Des Jardien has worked his
way through college and feels he
should repay as speedily as possible
some Of the sacrifices made in his
behalf.
1t Is perhaps worth recording that
Mrs. Des Jardien's attitude toward
football has been that of a Spartan
mother, for many years ago an older
son died as the result Of a kick in
the stomach while playing Rugby
football at Wells College, Missouri.

peals to Des Jardien as his best
earning opportunity for several years,

Paul Raymond Des Jardien was

and Mrs. Des Jardlen in Germany.
They were married during the Fran
CO. russian war Of 1870.
When the father died the family
went to Chicago. Two elder brothers
are physicians, and two older sisters
are married So, as the baby of the
family, Paul lives with his mother

He attended the Lee Little Grammar
School, from which he was gradu-
ated when fourteen years old. and
then entered Wendell Phillips High
