Like the wen-known Prussian
guard, which has been "cut to
pieces" so many times that it should
be mincemeat by this time, the Cubs
were decimated yesterday in st.
Louis, and all they have to do now to
finish in third place is win five
straight games from the Cardinals.
Fisher and Bues were still in the
game, though there is no chance for
them to play in the city series.
Sweeney and Corriden did rot arrive
in time to help the Cards roll up a
larger score than five runs.
President Thomas of the Cubs
made his final arguments yesterday
in an effort to get his rockies in the
series. He urged on President Comis-
key of the Sox that the absence Of
the pair might affect the attendance.
Probably on the theory that fans will
be afraid to sit in the first-base side
of the grandstand, with Red Corriden
shooting in that direction.
Commy didn't fall for the argu-
ment, however, and Bill Sweeney
should do a large accident insurance

Chicago UniVersity's football team
is up against a hard proposition this
afternoon in meeting Indiana. The
game is in the nature of a practice
contest for the Maroons, but they
cannot afford to experiment to the
point of taking chances with the vic
tory.
The battle counts in the Confer
ence. title race, and defeat would
practically eliminate the Midway men
from competition. Indiana has al
ready played and won a game, which
puts them slightly ahead of Chicago
on experience.
Chicago never has any real prac-
tice games. The season is opened
with a Conference college, and all
the prepping must be done before
the battle. Stage is confident of vic
tory this afternoon, and his conf
dence does not seem misplaced. The
Indiana line averages 16 pounds per
man more than the Maroons. The |
backfield men are evenly balanced. |
All Conference colleges have |
games for today, but the local affair |
