But the game was out of his hands.
Quicker hands than his had caught the

the old cavalryman cleaning in his

landlord. Hide him, take care of him

There was the rush of flying figure
down the hallway, and out Francois
flashed across broken line of a dozen
dismounted riders, straight toward the
landlords horse held by a groom un-
der the trees. There was a shock of
startled silence as the impetuous ap-

across the court. Then there was a
hubbub of voices, and a mass of uni

MICHIGAN Meets
HARVARD TODAY
ElevenS on Soldiers Field
for First Time in Nine
teen Years
HARVARD PICKED
TO WIN MATCH
By HAL SHERIDAN.
Trtf4nn for Tho Ifnifad prpes

WflIlen lOf lne DHlLtu russ
BOSTON, Oct. 3l.-For the first time
in nineteen years Michigan lines up to-
day on Soldiers Field against Harvard.
In 1895 Michigan fought the Crimson
eleven almost to a standstill and Har-
ward was fortunate TO get away with
the game by the short margin of 4 to O.
Today all the dope was that Harvard
would win handily, and that only a
wide open, hurry-up attack by the Yost
eleven would give them score. The
betting favored Harvard, 10 to 4, despite
Coach Haughton's last-minute decision
not to play the speedy Mahan at half
unless he should actually be needed.
However, there was some money placed
by the enthusiasts who followed their
favorites from Michigan.
Among the westerners there is con-
stant talk of a typical Yost surprise,
but it was admitted by even the most
frenzied Ann Arborites that to win
Hughitt, the western quarterback, whose
leg is still weak, must last through the
game, and that the western invaders
must get the Jump and keep it.
As to weight, Michigan has a slight
edge on Harvard. NIichigan's average is
l79; Harvard's, l7S.
The average weight in Michigan's
line is 1888; the Harvard average for
ward is lS3 Only in the backfield has
Harvard the advantage in beef, with an
average of 100 to Michigan's 1853.
The weather today was proverbi-
ally ideal for the players. A nipping
east wind from out Boston Harbor
put a frosty touch in the air that
promised anything but complete com
fort the 10000 to $4,000 who are ex-
pected to jam the Stadium.
Today's game is the fourth between
the same teams. Besides the 1896
contest, Harvard defeated Michigan
to 0 in 1881 and to 0 in 1888.
The game Is to start at 2.45.
Following is the lineup according tc

played such rafting good ball that it
wasn't long until the major league

While doing his outfeld duties, he
was also hitting the pill for a 1866
mark. He was often called on to go
to the mound without warming up.
Brownie made good in all departments
of the game. He was developing into
base stealing fiend when the season
closed Although it had been rum

Three years isn't much of a period

imagined that burly clean-living lads
from p to q. instead of slowing in
three seasons, would be just at the
best of their united powers. and that
their club should be far stronger, far
more dangerous, than in its earlier
stages. Yet such is the story of the
game-the story of the Orioles, the

Last year was a great year for him.
but this year he eclipsed all his other
records. With a .4S1 team behind

only way that Alexander could win

cerned but he still ranks as one OF
the pitching wonders of the age and

The Washington club didn't hit behind
Johnson and it didn't field. That's
why Johnson's record for victories
this year is smaller than in other
years. But when the fact is taken into
consideration that Johnson allowed
an average OF only FIVE hits per game
struck out an average of four men
per game and gave only about one
base on balls per game, the pitching
prowess of the Idaho wonder asserts
itself.
Eddie Plank, old and grizzled, still
ranks as the best southpaw in the
game. He worked in "a games, won

average per game was a trifie over
