 Which is the more popular, more in teresting and exciting game. in this great land of athletics baseball or football2 Some sports insist that foot ball has baseball skinned a mile. = But the majority in favor of football are the rnen that play the game. Foot ball. no doubt, is a great game if it is played as it really should be, instead of killing and manning your oppon- ents. The following few words are often heard issuing forth frcm the lips of amateur football players pre- sGet this Jack. He is the guy we gota, lay low. When he is tackled we'll all fall on him and, Bill you give him a good kick in the slats:,s
 That is a common expression among the amateurs. As to college footban Il know very little about the way the game is played.
 In baseball a fight on the diamond Is an unexpected feature of the game: while in football it's a poor game if three or four players are not carried off the field. Players are often in of baseball, but emernber that tb g average injury sustained while playing baseball is purely accidental.
 A player may break his leg sliding into a. base or he may be hit by a pitched ball, or he may collide with t4etiASA t1saS VI Ia out to get you and h e pulls off dirty trick, thereby injuring you, you know who did it, whereas if he gets you in a football game there is ten other men helping him out or on top of you at the time the job is done and you can never find out who was the cause of your injury
 Football is a grand game to watch, providing the crowd Is kept off the playing field, a thing which is seldom if ever accomplished when an anna teur game is in progress. While a game of baseball is going on the best the encroachers can do is to slightly interfere with the outf1eIders and fur thernore if they do not clear the field when warned to do so the game is called until the field is cleared < As to the real brutality of the game How many baseball players have met their death during, the progress of a game

SPRINTER DREW NOT PROFESSIONAL
 DECLARES COACH

Los Angeles Cal. Oct. 2s.--WaIter Christie, the veteran Blue and Gold track coach, has come out as uphold ing Howard Drew's right to amateur standing
 The discussion, which has waxed somewhat acrimonious of late, over the colored worlds champion sprint CTS right to continue wearing the amateur co1ors of the University of Southern California, is all a tempest in a teapot, according to Christie.
 ssI know Drew personality says Christie, ''and like him and ala ce every confidence in him. He gives and always has given the other fellow his rights. I have never known him to even try and cheat the gun. This to me shows he is O. K. His running likewise, is clean and without ques- ton. He is the first one to give the other praise.''
 2 Coach Christie disavows any official protest on the part of the University of California, and even denies that any considerable number ~of the students are opposed to Drew's continuing to run as an amateur. He deplores the fact that former track Earl Crab bee should have publicly expressed an opinion concerning the relative merits of a, competing runners anna teur rights. If we doubted MT. Drew" declared Christie, fsthe proper authorities here in the university would taha It uD.''

New. Haven, Conn, Oct 29=''Fog- gy" AinsWorth and Harry Legore. who have been out of the Vale lineup since last Saturdays. game returned yesterday afternoon full of dash. They got their old places in the backfeld and will form strong links in the chain of YaIe's attack against Col gate next Saturday. Legore proved that he has lost none of his drop kicking skill by lifting a, field goal from the 30-yard line. Ainsworth shone in the end runs.
 Except that Conroy and Walden have exchanged places, no changes that Coach Htnkey inaugurated on Monday, and the eleven will almost certainly tackle Colgate as it played yesterday. There is no hope of using either Capt. Talbot or Alex Wilson Saturday. Wilson has not visited the field since last Saturdays game, but could play against Colgate if neces- sary. Three weeks ago he developed water on the knee. He quickly re- covered from this, but was sent Into last Saturdays game without serinn- mage practice and played we'll Maj Scovil has succeeded him at quarter back, and will start his first game for Yale next Saturday. Heretofore he has been used as only a substitute. Capt. Talbot was on the side lines, but after having a, boil 1anced last Sunday the teams surgeons advised that he abandon football until the cut is healed. He will get into the signal work next week.

 PROBABLY JUMP

Chicago. Oct 7s-Roger Bresnahara .of the Chicago National league, said yesterday that he was satisfied with the terms offered him by the Brook 3yn Fsderal league club, but that he had not made up his mind to jump to the Federals. Bresnahan said that s4t would be several days before he signed a contract if he signed it at all
 : When Bresnahan was asked if the report from Nesv York reiaflve so s,s rr,fnr a. contract last Saturday night was true. Roger replied that he had been in conference with the Fed eral league nagnates. and had spoken ys itla the wards. owners Of the Brook feds, but that he had not affixed his Signature to a contract.
 The Chicago catcher remarked that he will be pleased to get away from sa Isca4caspo. and that an all probabi iaty he svtTu be seen in a Broolhead uniform inform next season.

MACK CRABS STAR PASSED
 BY GRIFFITH

Philadelphia, Oct 29-Connie Mack has. beaten Clark Griffith to it again. A few days ago it was announced that Griffith had obtained Sam Mcconnell, a. local boy. who played sensati onal ball at shortstop for the Roebltng, N. J.s Delaware River League club, this summer. But. the ancient enemy to the House Of Mack. however, has an other guess coming as to Mcconnell, for he has signed an Athletic contract and will go South with the Mackmen next spring.
 The local boy, who. is a graduate of Girard College, from which it1stitu- ton Harry Davis was graduated. gives promise Of developing into a hrst-class big leaguer.
 The PhiIIfes were tipped off to him E long before the Athletics were inform eds but the Quakers. scout passed him up. If he makes good for Mack it will be another lost star who failed to land in the PhiIs' camp.
 Griffith was also informed of Mo- Gonnel when the Senators played here but while Grif4listened to the ad- vice ragaraing Mcconnell he did mot act on II, simply telling the Mcconnell booster he would think it over and then let the Roep1fng star know if the Senators needed him.
 But while Grtf s1umbered Mack stepped in, thus adding to the sore which the Athletics have always man. aged to keep open for Washington to Writhe under.

Cambridge. Oct 2e.Ac1ear, cold, crisp weather greeted Haughton and his football warriors as they trudged out on Soldiers Field yesterday after noon for daily practice. Another reg lllar, Wallace, was missing from inc lineup yesterday afternoon. He is out with a bad leg, but will be in shape for Saturdays game. Bigelow, who has been playing at tackle occn- sfonally this season, was substituted in his place.
 1ddie"s Mahan and Whitney spent considerable time in practising drop kicking. The former seems to be the best understudy to- BrickleB and it is not at all improbable that he may be given an opportunity to try his skill in the game with the Wolverines.
 Haughton has found ii. necessary to make a place for FTanckes who seems to have an aptitude of hitting the line for good gains. He is a new man to the varsity eleven. Frant.ke locks to be the logical man for the bunting, and has taken to this work like a vet eran. He wil1 spend consid derable time each day trying to develop the spi- rals.

 1ss6-Jaek McAuliffe knocked out Bill Frazier in 21St round at Boston. This bout was for the lightweight chann- pionship. MoA uliffe claimed the title in 1885, after his friend Jack Dempsey grew too heavy for the lightweight division, and defended 1t. against Jack Hopper early in 1886. Frazier, all though he had been beaten by Demp- sey, also laid claim to the honor. The vissoWy of the little man from Cork made him the undfspTNted champion of the Hghtweights. He offered Frazier another match few months later, but Billy forfeited McAuliffe had a close call In 1887 when he fought JeTn Carney, an English battler, at Re- were, Mass. The bout went "A rounds, and was called g draw, but Carney had the best of it when the ring was brok- en into by a. gang of toughs. Jacks next big battle was in 1889. at North Judsons Ind. when he fought 64 rounds to a draw with Billy Nyer, the Streator Cyclone.''

Grouse is only 21 years of age and has met pract tfca1ly all the good mid- dTeweights about the east and west, but lie seems to have lacked the en-
 He has had kind of a wandering spirit and only a year ago. when he had several good matches in sight, made a trip to Panama with the idea that he could do better there than in The east. However, Buck has got ten over, all these ideas and says he is going to get down to hard work now and prove that he is a real cham pionship contender.
 Enge1 wants to match him against Jimmy Clabby or Mike Gibbons and they are men who will certainly make him show his class if he has it in him MT. Engel is also managing Eddie Canpi, who has developed into Iy the bantannweight champion of the Pacific coast and gave Kid Williams a. hard battle. It is likely that he will be matched again with Williams in the near future at 11S pounds, at which weight he thinks he can more than hold his own with the clever little Baltimore champion.

BOXING NOTES.

The fans are interested just now in 9 clash between Freddy Welsh, the worlds champion, and either Charlie White or Willie Ritchie. They recog- nize the fact that White and Ritchie are top-notch boys to put against the champion and are anxious to see some real action. Ritchie has announced that he will be ready to battle any man in the world by the 1st of Mo- vember and the same goes for White. It is a question now of terms and of- fers from promoters. With California. on the danger line it looks as though New Orleans will come in for some of the long distance events, while many of the big matches will doubt less be held in the middle west-N1il- waukee-and in the east-principaIIy New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Buffalo. The one bright star bout that stands out at present is the pro- posed Welsh White match, which will no doubt create a world of interest. White is probably the cleverest boy in the country outside of Welsh and he is also a hard hitters, as<he proved when he met Ritchie last spring. so that meeting between the Chicago lad and the champion tops all others. Welsh and his manager. Harry Pol 1ok. have stated that they will not

 This St. Louis story doesn't sound good to me anyway. The club dropped $40. .0Oo last year and must pay it's depts before going out with more money to offer players. Furthermore, if there is one city in the country where Johnson cannot be at his best it is in St. Louis He weak ena rapidly under the heat in St. Louis. much more so than in any other city in the league.
