Next to Shivrick, the Great Kicker, the Star End Was Probably

Sharpe congratulated himself that

Eckley. while a star football player,

PENIS eleven has also been weak
ened by a faculty order. Bill Neil.
the husky right guard. has been dis
qualified. Protests that Neill had
played college football four years
were upheld by the faculty, so no will

URING these early tho
owners OF the New York Amer
leans have resumed their quiet
search for a plot on which to build
n ball park and It would not besur-
prising II actual work was begun by
next spring. They are anxious TO
put up something that will stand as
n monument to the Yanks.
Can't. Huston and Col. Rupert are
of the opinion that separate grounds
are absolutely necessary 10 give heir
club the distinct individuality that
they desire. without separate grounds
they also feel that there will never be
any healthy local rivalry between the
Yanks and the Giants.
you scribes furnished q striking
evidence OF that" said the Captain.
ns he looked over several maps that
had been submitted. when you In
sisted that there was a lack of inter-
est In a series between the two local
clubs this fall. We would nave hked
to test the merits of the " clubs,
but as there seemed no public de-
mand for such n series OF games we
aid not try to force 1t. II the clubs
had been playing on separate grounds
and had built up a local pride In their
sections such a meeting would have
been unavoidable. The fans would
have demanded It."
Nobody Is more anxious to begin
the erection of a new ball park than
are Capt. Huston and Col. Rupert,
hut the problem that is besettins
them Is location. They have had I'M
der consideration an excellent place

Is a doubt as to whether II would be
advisable to get off Manhattan Island.
There is no doubt In the Captains
mind, however. He takes the view

they care more for speedy transporta-
tlon than location. With the new
tunnels and the subway. II will be
possible to reach the grounds in Long

ty-second Street.
Just the same there Is q fear that

Captain, Ito see the plots OF ground

haitian Field, which adjoins the Polo
Grounds. but that. to my way OF
thinking, would be just the same as
playing at the Polo Grounds. We
would have the same residential sup
porters. The local clientele of the
two clubs would be the same"
Another piece OF ground that Of
fers a chance to baseball Is in the
gashouse district. but there is a ques-
ton about transportation and sur
rounding comfort.
The decision on location is the only
| thing holding back the owners OF the
Yanks. They want TO ret the grounds

There were jttsu tricks that crippled
star men when they were down under

mere commonplace.
But the public learned about those

THE match between weinert and
Moha, now scheduled for the
Slst Of the month. will be the
first bout Of any real class put on In
New York in months. The summer
has been dull In boxing. Weinert and
Moha will draw a big crowd. IL
Weinert wins decisively there will be
an effort to boost him for q match
with Willard. and he'll have a chance
TO get II. as opponents for Willard
will be very scarce this season. IL
Moha wins as clearly as he did In the
bout with Cox he'll probably be
matched at once with Dillon. Moha
IL only three Inches or so shorter than
Dillon, and Is fully as husky and as
clever. Dillon and Moha would be
well matched. and a Dillon-Moha
fight should be n corker.
On the 3lst Dillon fights Al Mccoy
In Brooklyn. This will probably be
an entirely one-sided match. Mccoy
will be only three pounds lighter than
Dillon. and he's tough and strong.
But as a boxer he isn't In Dillon's
class for n moment. His only chance
will be to hit Jack with that wild
swinging left. In all his life Mccoy
has landed Just n OF those letts on
n good man. That was on the evo-
ming when he knocked out George
Chip.
Mccoy will probably take a beating

INSIDE GRIDIR0N TIPS
Good Kicker Essential.
BY CHARLES e. BRICKLEY.

1t is just as essential for a football
team to have good kicker as it is for
an army to have big guns in war. No
team can be a championship team
without one or more good punters.
OF course, the ideal situation is to
have men like Mahan, LIE Gore, briggs
or Tibbott. who can kick, run and
pass With a man of this type in the
back field, almost anything in the way
of offensive football is possible. Last
year, at Johns Hopkins. 1 had a man
named Hoffman who could kick, run
and pass. Conditions were such that
I practically had to build my whole
offense around him, and it was by
means of his punting, drop kicking
and forward passing that we could
make our offense go.
A great value in having a man of
the Mahan or LIE Gore type lies in the
constant threat which he gives the op-
posing defense. If the defensive line
was sure each time as to whether he
was going to run or kick. it would be
simple matter to stop him, but you
never can tell what man of this type
is going to do.

WAITING TO BE HANGED
Negro in Jail in Topeka Must Die
December is.

Down in the county jail is a man
William White-who is sentenced to
be hanged December Is. He knows it
and doesn't hesitate to talk about it.
Only the president of the United States
can save his life and so far as is
known no effort is being made to
have the president interfere.
White is a negro and a federal pris-
oner. He was brought to Topeka
from Leavenworth Friday after he
had made an attempt to escape from
the Leavenworth county Jail. He will
be held here until shortly before the
time set for his execution.
White. a soldier in the negro cav
airy, was convicted of numbering a
superior officer, Sert. J. w. Jackson.
The hanging is scheduled to take place
upon the military reservation at Fort
Leavenworth and under the law the
