MICHIGAN COACH
CALLS OUT TEAM
First Practice of Season at Ann
Arbor Results in Ach-
ing Bones.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. Coach
Fielding H. Yost set the pace for rival
gridiron squads in both east and west
yesterday when he sent his bunch of
% husky candidates for the Michigan
varsity through the initial practice
drill of the football season.
Peeled" elbows, barked shins and
sore muscles, which practically every
man on the squad was nursing last
night, gave painful testimony to the
fact that the 1914 season is under way
and also that the season at Ann Arbor
will be one continuous round of hard
practice workouts.
Notre Dame, Ind, Sept 9.-Knute
Rockne, captain of the 1913 football
team at Notre Dame. has returned TO
the university to assist Coach Harper
in training the gridiron squad
Rockne has had four years of valu-
able experience on the local eleven.
He has a thorough knowledge of the
game and a capacity for tireless work
which is amazing. He will devote
most of his time to the work of build
ing up the line.
Coach Harper's worry is to find a
man who can fill the shoes of Dorais,
last years all-American quarter.
Practice was inaugurated yesterday
with n short session of light work.
The drill consisted of little more than
n waking up practice, yet several of
the new candidates for the team show

FANS COMPLAIN

Many Dips" Operate at Benton
Harbor During Brown
Gibbons Battle.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 9.-Several com
plants were made on the train carry
ing the fight fans home from the Ben
ton Harbor fight Monday night to the
effect that pockets had been picked in
the Brown-Gibbons fight. There was
only one small exit at the ball park
and the outgoing crush gave the
thieves a chance to work.
There was little or no betting on
the fight trains. due to the fact that
both the railroad and boat officials
stationed special police on board the
specials to prevent open gambling.
There were few rhum games on the
train, but the usual dice and card lex
perts" were not in action, although
they were out in numbers.
The size of the crowd was a disap-
pointment, not only to the pickpockets
but to the promoters. The gate re-
ceipts were only s2,1OO, whereas the
promoters had planned on catering to
an $4,000 house. Cloudy weather was
blamed for this, while not a few ring
enthusiasts were too sick to attend
the fight because of the rough boat
voyage.
Gibbons received $1,000, a sum
guaranteed him before he consented
to sign articles for the exhibition, as
his percentage agreement did not ex-
coed this amount Brown drew down

promoters to pay the preliminary
fighters and the ground rent.

BRAVES BEAT GIANTS
AND LEAD FLAG RACE

Boston, Sept. 9.-BOston took the
lead in the National league race yes
terday by defeating New York, s to 3.
in the final game of the series. James
held the visitors to three hits, one of
them a triple and another a double.
Besides hitting Marquard, Fromme
and Wilson for 10 safeties, the home
team played baseball far different
from that displayed Monday after
noon.
They fielded almost perfectly and
ran bases better. Connolly went high
on the left field bank in the eighth
and took Murray's long fly, which look
ed like a sure double.
Boston's only slip-up came when
James threw wild to first in the third
inning and allowed Doyle to reach
third. New York's error came when
Doyle threw Moran's rap into the dug
out.

great factor in commercial activity and

So the man who saves and does not
hoard is a capitalist whether he real
ICES it or not, and in the end he is
bound to possess a good-sized bank
account.
Some persons think that big bank
accounts are made by lucky ventures
in finance-perhaps a profitable spec
ulation, or buying into a sure thing
on the ground floor"
The fact is, however that too many
good-sized bank accounts have been
depleted in that way.
A good many persons build big &C
counts by going into a business for
which they have been trained, and for
which they have sufficient capital,
with credit besides.
Others make choice investments and
then re-invest their interest earnings
and make more good investments

They generally begin in small way
and save nest egg"
If you are an easy spender" your
progress in this direction will be slow,
for you are throwing away the blocks
with which you should build.
If you are a regular saver you will
find 1t easy to withstand temptations
to spend, having schooled yourself to
consider your bank account first.
AS an habitual saver you build your
modest bank account. In so doing you
acquire the traits of the successful in
yestor, as well as the habits of mind
which make men successful traders.
AS your bank account grows another
asset, credit, grows likewise, and you
have more money at your disposal to
make money with as opportunity pre-
sents itself.
When you have acquired the savings
habit you will be a long way toward
having a big bank account and enjoy

train If the money is rightly used
