chicago. March 2.-Wheat showed
,,creased weakness today, largely on

-aations with Germany and because
q, the difficulties of shipping. The
onsuing, which was unchanged to &c
dawn with May at 1.1iG1.11A and July
az LOSS TO 1855, was followed by
considerable fluctuations.
Cspture of the German sea raider
Noewe caused another upturn, but
the close was at u to 12c net decline,
with May 11114 and July 1.0S%.
Corn swayed with wheat. After
opening shade to 15G5 sc lower, the
market fluctuated within a range of
about &C, chiefly below yesterdays
latest figures.
The close was at a shade to &c net
decline.
Oats had no independent action.
Floor traders, who did the bulk of the
trading, seemed TO incline to the bear
side
Higher prices on hogs gave only
transient strength to provisions. Sub
seouent downturns resulted from
weakness of grain.

INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS
BY CHARLES e. BRICKLEY.
Proper Paddings.

1t seems to be the idea among young
boys who are just learning the game
that it is sort of an act of cowardice
to wear lot of pads, that it slows
them up, etc That is all wrong. DR..
Nichols, who has charge of the physi-
cal welfare of the Harvard football
squad, will not allow any player to go
on the field, either in practice or in
the games, unless he has every single
pad for protection which he has order
ed. Protection is even more import
ant for the high school player, because
many times the ground on which he
has to play is not of the best, as it is
in the Yale Bowl or the Harvard stad-
1um, where the turf is soft and the
ground level, and not rocky. uneven
and billy, as are SO many high school
playing fields.
Another important factor to which
little attention is paid in schoolboy
football is that of training. 1 have
seen many schoolboy football teams on
which no attempt was made to keep
the men in training. Many of the
boys smoked cigarettes in the dressing
room before the game. and then went
out on the field, and once or twice
nave even seen them smoking on the
field
Worse than this, no care is often
exercised in the choice of food or the
time of eating the meals know that
in my first two years in high school,
I never used to think anything of eat
ing hearty meal before engaging in
game. and I can well remember one
occasion when I had to be taken out
of a game because I was in poor condi-
ton from the effects of a big meal
eaten just before starting for the
game. If the boy starting out for
football would he careful to eat only
a light lunch before practice or before
game. much trouble would be saved
him and he would be valuable to the
copyright. Wheeler Syndi-
cate.)

''RUBE" TO PITCH
Marquard Slated to Work First
for the Dodgers.
Robinson and His Men Conf
dent They Will Trim SOx.

New York. Oct. 5.-Wilbert Robin
son, manager of the Brooklyn Nation
al league club, will pit his regulars
against New York in the game in
Brooklyn this afternoon as a final
workout for the opening of the worlds
series at Boston Saturday.
I'VE are going out to win and I
think we can do it," said Robinson.
"Our team has played good ball all
summer and we held the lead most
all the way thru except for a day or
two here and there. We measure
up to the Red Sox and, with our team
playing it's best ball right now, there
is no reason why it can't win. We
will show the fans some real playing.
Marquard, Coombs, Cheney, Pfeffer
and Smith will show them some pitch
ing and are not worrying"
Marquard in Form.
"Rube' Marquard, who is reported
to have been selected to pitch the
opening game for Brooklyn, said he
was in top form now and that Brook
lyn is going to win.
1--WE will be right at their Threats
all the time" declared Jack Coombs
IF anyone believes Boston is going to
ride right over US he is reckoning
without men of the stamp of Jake
Daubert, Pfeffer, Vanguard and
Myers"
The first big wager here on the
worlds series was announced today
when it was stated that E. E. Smath-
ers, the owner of fast horses, had
placed $4,000 to $4,000 on the Bos-
ton Americans to win. It was an
nounced the four umpires chosen for
the worlds series would meet in Bos-
ton today to agree upon a uniform
Interpretation of rules. The enfield
fly is one point upon which an agree
ment is desired because in the Ameri-
can league a runner must hold his
base on such a fly while in the Ma
tional league he can run at his own
risk.

Pushbau Game.
An added attraction, and one that
should appeal to sport lovers who have
never seen a contest like it, will be
the pushball game between the fresh
men and sophomores that will be
sandwiched in between periods. Push
ball is new sport in Topeka, but the
Washburn underclass men plan to put
on such an exhibition tomorrow that
it will become a regular sport at the
college.
The pushball game will start at $3.50
o'clock. 1t will be played in three
periods of fifteen minutes each, the
game starts. the second between
halves and the last after the football
game is completed 1t will be played
according to regulation rules, and Cox.
a regular football man and a pushball
expert, will officiate with four as
sistants.
The Ball Is Here.
The ball to be used in the push"
exhibition comes from Ames, Iowa. 1t
arrived Wednesday afternoon, and
upon examination was found to con-
sist mostly of dimensions and wind.
1t is six feet thru, any way you meas
ure tin other words it is round
and it will probably take all of the
surplus air in Topeka to fill it so that
it will be pushable
For the benefit of those who are
not on brotherly terms with the game
of pushba1l, it might be we'll to state
that it is regular game in which
points are scored as in other games
like baseball, football, horseshoe
pitching, auoits and the like, and the
side that has the greatest number of
points when the last period of play
ends wins. This indicates that it is an
American and not a Chinese game.

Ages ago when the White Sox and the
Cubs were playing for the championship
of the Universe and Chicago, ILL.,, there
a youth named Robe. He I'M
known to the experts. He had clouted not,
neither had he driven in runs. He was
merely an innocent bysitter the bench,
scorned by experts and populace alike
And yet when the psychological moment
had arisen this same Robe busted a three
base clOut and also busted up the series.
Some aeons later, when the Giants were
playing the Red Sox, there was a lad
named Hendricksen, or something like
hibitiOn games. Experts told us he
wouldn't have a chance to bust into the
series unless the Boston outfield ran into
a railroad wreck. Another psychological
moment, wallop just inside third base. a
two-bagger, good night Mathewson; good
night world series
Baseball dope is unscientific. 1t fails to
consider the fact that ball players are hu
man. Nobody ever has won a pennant
with arithmetic.
The only dopists who run true to form
in a world series are the ticket spectators

Everything at Washburn is all set
for the first conference football game
of the season with Cooper college to-
morrow afternoon, and indications to-
day were that there would be quite
crowd out to see the Ichabods revenge
the 6 to 0 defeat they suffered at the
hands of the Weede eleven last season.
If by any chance Doctor Kennedy's
men should lose there will be big, bit
ter gobs of disappointment sticking
out all over the Washburn neighbour
hood for some time to come because
every one is expecting a triumph, and
many are looking for an overwhelm-
ing victory.
Tonight Doctor Kennedy expected
to hold only a light practice without
scrimmage. Professor Riser has an
nounced that every player on the
squad has come up with his eligibility
requirements without trouble, thus
showing that the men are mentally as
we'll as physically fit. And it is a
high tribute to the squad that not a
single man fell down because in all
most every school there is always a
delinquent list.
A kicking Game.
Every Indication is that tomorrow's
game will be a kicking affair when the
Ichabods have possession of the ball.
Wednesday night Captain Stewart was
punting 60 yards and better regularly
and was making field goals pretty con-
sistently from the 80 and IS yard line

game his toe alone ought to be good
for several points.
No lineup for the Cooper conflict
has been given out. but it is almost
certain that Calihan and Trull will
start at end, Wilson and Logan at
tackle, Colvin at center and Sargent
at quarter. Stewart may play in the
line or in the backfield- If he goes

PEEvED AT OLD LEADER
Giant Players Assert They Will Not
Work for McGraw Again.

New York, Oct. 5.-John McGraw,
disgruntled manager of the Giants,
may yet have to explain his action in
declaring his players did not give him
their best efforts in the game with
Brooklyn Tuesday. Members of the
national commission have come to
view his assertion with some feeling,
it developed today
McGraw was not present to see his
team win from the Dodgers Wednes-
day, but instead occupied a seat at the
Polo grounds, where the Yankees won
two games from the Senators. He re-
fused to modify his declaration in any
way. Members of the New York club
are highly indignant over the outburst
and some of them intimate they will
not again play under the leadership of
McGra.w.
