FOOTBALL BEGINS THIS WEEK.
The Arrival of September Always Sends the Blood Sursina Through the Athletes Veins.

The football season for 1914 will be formally ushered in this week, when candidates for many of the college elevens will report for early practice. Aspirants for places on the Mullen berg team are expected to report to Coach MaCaa today and Willie Crow els men at Lafayette will get ac- quainted-with their new coach at Del aware Water Gap on Thursday. Ben Clime Swartmore's football captain, will return from Maine in 6 few days and will issue the first call for candi- dates befdre the end of the week. Penn, Cornell Yale, Harvard and Princeton will be gin after Labor Day and. before the end of next week the plunk of the football against new shoes, the shouts of tue coaches and the painting of the candidates should be heard on nearly every gridiron in the. east.
 sN Facing a short season, with the same number of big games crowded in a smaller space of time. 1t Is essential that the colleges get in as Such pre- liInlnary work as possible before the scheduled contests begin. This is es- pecially true regarding the big teams, for sometimes the 3early practice, games with smaller colleges result in sad surprises. In. modern football all teams are nearly equal in the early A part of the season. and many close Scores are registered. Ursinus beat Penn. on Franklin field a few years ago. Yale, Harvard and Princeton have had narrow escapes, and the coaches are beginning to realize that it is wise plan to have their men in fairly good shape before the initial lineup.
 Fortunately there are few changes in the rules this year and the men will not be obliged to study the rule book every chance they get to find out how they should act on certain ocasions. Outside of eliminating a few rough spots the playing code is the same as last year. Candidates will be instructed to play hard, but carefully" for the rule makers have frowned upon the practice of pumping the punter or running into a mar after he has made a forward pass These changes should help the game considerably, for under last years rules neither team had much protec. tion, and it was left to the discrim. iuation of the officials as to whether any rough work had been done. Othel minor changes will do away with un, necessary delays and keep the game moving from the start

A GREAT YOUNG PLAYER.
John MeGraw Landed Prize When
 He Got George Burns for 5000.


 He does everything so easily and quietly that it will be some time be- fore the fans realize that they have one of the greatest young players in the world in their midst" said Char lie" Carr, manager of the Utica team of the New York State League, when he sold George Burns to the Giants for s4,000 late. in the season of 1911. The prophetic part of the veteran first baseman and managers eulogy has been fulfilled and whether the Giants establish a new record in baseball by winning fourth straight pennant, Burns part in the spectacular fight of 1914 will not be forgotten.
 The newest batch of averages show the twenty-three-ye -year-old outfelder to be leading the league in stolen bases with forty one pliers in 1o4 games. Burns is tied with team mate, Bob Bescher, and Jake Daubert, of the Dodgers, for run making honors. Burns, up to Thursday, had crossed the home plate seventy times. Silent George leads the Giant regulars in batting, with an average of .313. Ed die" Grant, who has been in only forty three games, being the only player surpassing his swatting efforts in be- half of the Giants so far as averages are considered.

ARRANGE GAME
 WITH FAST WHITE ROCKS
The Leaders in the Manufacturers League Will Try to Show the Falls Team Something Sunday.

The Sachems were unable to ar range a game with any of the Willi- mantle teams Sunday because of the fact that both teams had games Tor that date, but they will get together on the first date possible. The Sachems consider themselves lucky that they were able to book the fast White Rock team for Sunday, who are at present leading the Manufacturers league, and who are most likely to cop the fine silver cup which is the prize that is at stake in that league. Manager Mccarthy says that the Sachems are due for a good trimming, as the Sa- chems defeated the visitors in a fast game on their first appearance who now are sure to bring along the best to be had around Westerly way. But that is what the Sachems want nothing but the best The Sachems have given up hope of trimming the Hospital team. as they have tried to arrange game or series of games with them, but they are unable to come to tearns with the management of the players from down the river.

 Regardless of the fact that our pleasure car export business with Eu- rope has nearly disappeared, it is said that a number of manufacturing con- cerns are doing an increased business in heavy chassis construction for ar nnored automobiles.

 Representative Bartholdt introduced resolution in the house last Friday asking whether OF not the department of state had made any efforts to pro- hibit the exportation of these vehicles said to be in the course of construction in Philadelphia If the exportatfon of these cars is a breach of neutrality the state department had better get busy with the tire companies.
