Why Not?

This dope just at presentAleoks to be reasonable enough. Speedy RusT proved last fall that he was a higT grade instructor and leader. That one years experience should mean more than trife, and with the material he has in sight Princeton has the best chance at a double victory she has known for a span of years. >r
 Haughton has the chance for a good backfeld with his freshman stars Bond, Flower and Casey. What the line will be is another affair. Yale has a fine system starting under Jones and Sweeney, and a hustling leader in Cupid Black, but Yales material is also another affair
 But football being football, with memories of that Yale=Princeton con- test left over from last fall. there is no crying need for any rush of pro- phecy just yet. ,r-. ,-

BROWN LOOKS FOR BIG YEAR.
Many Veterans and Promising Young sters Expected to Report for Squad.

Providence, R. l., Sept 18.-Foot- ball at Brown university got under way this morning. All candidates for the team have been requested to re- port at Andrews field at 10:30 o'clock, when at least 40 men are expected to report. About half of these will be newcomers several of whom have been here the last few days working out under the direction of Trainer Huggins. Nearly all of last years varsity squad are returning, Capt Andrews, Sexton, Maxwell and Staff of the 1915 eleven alone graduating last June. Several of the veterans will be late in returning, however and it will be the middle of the week before all are here.
 With so much veteran material and with better freshman material to se- lect from than the coaches have had in years, Brown prospects may be said to be exceptionally bright. Coach Edward R. Robinson, with Earl Spra ckling, Buck" Whittemere and Archie Hahn as assistants, will again direct the destinies of the eleven, The first game will be played with Rhode Island state on the 30th.

Pitching a brilliant brand of base ball, Schneider of the Annex A. G., held the Foresters of Plainville to one hit. yesterday afternoon in that town, ap- plying a. coat of whitewash, while the locals were garnering two runs. Oakes who opposed Schneider also pitched a strong game, but punched hits at op- portune times aided in the Annex se- curing the winning tallies.
 Double plays by Johnson to Huck to Brayne and Johnson to Huck were the fielding features Schneider sent seven of the opposing batsmen back to the bench by the strikeout route while Oakes caused thirteen of the To- calls to vainly hit the atmosphere. Each hurler was stingy with his free transportations. Schiedled allowing three while Oakes served out but one.

World Series SluGging.

The possibility, or probability, de- pending upon whether you live in De- troit, Boston or Chicago, of seeing Ty Cobb in another worlds series brings up a number of important details.
 There would, first of all, be the ad- vance guessing as to just how hard circumstance, for the great hitters of the game are not always the star per- formers in the big October Show.
 John Franklin Baker, as a matter of record was one of the excessively few top notchers who continued his pace, with something tackled on, when the closing smear arrived.
 Ty in the old days was not able to go very far against Cub pitchers when Brown and Overall were at their best. He did better in the Pittsburgh en- gagement, his last stand, seven years ago.
 But world series glory is seldom to the Batting Eye. In 1914 Hank Gowdy drove Baker and Collins off the reservation with a mark above 400. In 1915 popular attention was fixed upon the mighty artillery duel between Iris Speaker and Cactus Cravath. But when the outlying pre- cincts had been heard from, one Duffy Lewis was leading both anywhere from 150 to 200 points.
 But one tidy or Tydy point about Cobb is that he makes a great story if he hits and a greater one if he doesn't hit. Either way he is suffi- cient feature to keep the animals well stirred up.

EAENIRS OVERMHELMED.

The champion Pratt & Whitney team of the Industrial league in Hart ford journeyed to this city Saturday afternoon to meet the local Factory league champ mpions, the Fafnir Bearing company. The game resulted in an easy victory for the visitors, score 9 to l. Stanley was easy for the Capi- tol Cityites who touched his offerings in a lively fashion at times. Dutch" Leonard who was on the mound< for the winners was almost invincible. There was a big crowd on hand to wit ness the game, and 9 tendency to en- croach on the playing enclosure made a number of the hits hard to field.

As for HuDcheS,

Tn the way of the standing broad hunch, we have kinked idea that if Alexander and Cravath are permitted to participate in another world series their 1915 status will be somewhat changed. >--
 Alex will be another pitcher, a1- though he did fairly well year ago, and Cravath will provide a good bit more annoyance in, the small Philly ~ But, then, there are. a MT. Robinson and a MT. Stallings who aver the pair referred to will never get a chance to produce the comeback briefly sug- gested.

OPPOSES CITY SERIES.
Comiskey is Said to Be Opposed to
 Former Plan.

Chicago, Sept 1S.-If the White Sox fail to land the flag in the American League there is a strong possibility thatt here will be no city series in Chicago this fall.
 President Comiskey and Manager Rowland both refused to discuss the local series for fear of putting the 'jinx" on the flag race, but from in side sources it Is learned that Presl- dent Comiskey especially is strongly averse to playing.
 He thinks the series has outlived it's usefulness, as we'll as novelty, and that the fans have very little interest in post-season scrap. Then it is argued that a local series has a bad influence ol the players of both teams as the men pay more attention to each others showing than they do to beating their rivals.
