FIGHT AT CHICAGO
Umpire and Braves Third
Stacker Come to Blows.
The Ex-ChampiOns Could Not
Hit Phil Douglass.

Chicago, I'LL, Sept. ia fist fight
between Umpire Byron and Red"
Smith, third baseman of the Boston
Braves, marked the final game of the
year between Chicago and Bos-
ton Chicago won, 1 to O. At the
conclusion of the game, Smith rushed
up to Byron and the arbiter walked
toward him. They exchanged words
and Byron lodged around several of
those who had gathered about the
two and made a lunge at Smith He
apparently made two swings at him
and was rushing his man when Big
Bill James, the Boston pitcher, put
his arms around the umpire and lift
ed him to one side. Smith came
back with his arms swinging wildly
and Umpire Orth attempted to stop
him. Smith was Infatuated and
seemed about to hit Orth, when his
teammates stepped into the fray and
escorted Smith to the clubhouse. The
umpire then walked to his dressing
room. Several hundred fans who
witnessed the clash cheered Byron.
Umpire Byron refused to comment
on the battle, merely stating that he
would make his report to the presi-
dent of the league. However several

But he believes that it will be of vast
benefit to the 1915 Jayhawker pros
poets to have two teams where rival
candidates for a varsity position can
be pitted gainst each other and given
a chance to show their worth against
each other.
Olcott is fortunate his first year in
having more than half a dozen of the
most promising freshmen that ever
hit Lawrence. At the opening prac-
tice there were Holt, Fast, Reedy,
Frost and the two Gillispie brothers,
all stars on Coach McCarty's tyro
squad in 1914. Holt is a former To-
peka high school star, while Fast play

made the All Kansas collegiate eleven

TIGERS AT BOSTON
Crucial Series in American
League Race Begins Today.
Both Red SOx and PhiIIies Lost
Games Wednesday,.

New York, Sept 16.-The Boston
Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers begin
their final series of the season a Bos-
ton today with the Red Sox leading
by two and half games. the Tigers
having cut down BostOn's advantage
Wednesday by winning their fourth
straight from New York, while Boston
dropped their only game of the series
to Chicago
although not playing, went into sec
Ond place again while Boston and
Philadelphia each lost. The Phillies
lead Brooklyn now by considerably
more than four games with the Braves
about half a game behind the Su-
perbas.
, The outcome of the four-day series
at Boston, beginning today, will be
watched with much interest, but al
though the result virtually may dis
pose of Detroit as a pennant contender
or may put the Tigers in the lead,
may not definitely be decided until the
last few days of the season. The Red
SOx took a majority of the games from
the Tigers in their last series at De-
troit. They meet the Tigers this time
on their home grounds with a decided
advantage in the standing. The Red
SoX have what is generally considered
an excellent pitching staff, while the
Tigers are weak in this respect. For
these reasons many consider the Red
Sox a strong favorite.
The Philadelphia Nationals who
broke a winning streak Wednesday
by losing to Pittsburg, go to Cincin-
natl today for a short series with
Herzog's Reds who have been going
strong recently and are trying to OBJ
tain a berth in the first division, while
Brooklyn engages the Chicago Cubs

Holt, Former High School Star, Out
for Jayhawker Eleven.

Lawrence Kan, Sept. 16.-The
University of Kansas is going to have
a second football team this season
for the first time in years, according
to Coach Jack Olcott, the new Jay
hawker football pilot.
Kansas has not had a second team
in recent years. One reason has been
that it usually was hard to get enough
men out for the varsity and freshmen
squads, without bothering with any
other organization. Another was that
the Crimson and Blue, along with
most of the other Missouri Valley
teams, has used its freshmen squad as
the daily opponent for the varsity in
practice.
Coach Olcott has no idea of abolish

than it was last August. II is worth
noting. too, that there are prospects of
