CHAIN TOMORROW

Coach Jim Mccarthy of the Ameri-
can Chain Co. football eleven expects
the hardest game of the season to-
morrow when the locals line up
against the Washington G1ee club of
New Haven at Newfeld park. The
Chains have been drilling hard on
new plays for this contest for they
know from past experience that the
New Haven boys are tough opponents.
The game will start at p. m. with
Joe Waters as referee.
The New Haven Journa1-Courier,
in speaking of the game says: !. ~
'4The Washington Glee club foot
ball players drilled for three hours
last evening under Coach Clyde
Waters and are in good shape for the
game to be played in Bridgeport on
Sunday with the American Chain
eleven. The Glees' speed and ag-
gressiveness should prove essential
toward defeating the Chain eleven.
The Glee club squad will report for
practice again this evening at which
time Coach Waters will drill the
players on the forward pass and other
open plays. A special train will carry
the G1ees' followers to Bridgeport on
Sunday with the players embarlins
on the 1917 train "

Pittsburg Eleven May
Capture Championship
In Football This Year

New York, Oct. 29-Glenn Warner
and his University of Pittsburgh
eleven are moving b1ithely along the
high road again this season, and any
team that encounters this powerful
machine on the gridiron had better
prepare for rugged assignment.
Pittsburgs first two contests indi-
cate Warmers big eleven possesses all
of its old driving power, for in both
Of the game it ran up big scores. In
the first encounter Warmers warriors
met Bethany and took it into camp
by a score of 40 to 0. Last Saturday
their victims were the men of Lehigh
who fell before the onrush of the men
from beyond the Alleghanies to the
tune of Al to 19. Eighty-one points
in the first two games gives sufficient
indication of what is to come in fu-
ture contests.
- Warner has all of his players at
school again this autumn, but he has
adhered to old methods of play, both
on attack and defense. Pittsburgh's
has shown very little new stuff and
practically nothing in the open scheme
of attack. Warner relies to a great
extent on the charging ability of an
extra ordinary set of backs and there
fore pays little heed to the fofbIes Of
some-of the Eastern coaches.
Warner has little fear his outfit viii

gone through two seasons without en-
countering a defeat and Warner is
sauguine it will keep it's slate clean

CAUSE OF SMALL
ATTENDANCE FOR
T.
GIANTS-WHiTE SOX

New York, Oct. 20-The poor at
tendance at the worlds series games
at the Polo Grounds is still a point of
conjecture among baseball men. Some
attribute the falling off in attendance
to theidrain of the war upon the male
population, while others lay it to the
fact that the enthusiasm of many New
York fans died when the Giants met
defeat in the first two games of the
series.
John B. Foster, secretary of the
Giants, believes the first two defeats
at the hands of the White Sox at Chi
cago affected the enthusiastic ardor
of local fandom to such an extent that
many who had intended to see the
games at the Polo Grounds remained
away rather than see the Giants suffer
another treuncing. Foster believes
there are many fans who prefer to
stay away from the games rather
than see the home club beaten.
Still others, however. ascribe the
poor attendance to the unwi1ingness
of fans who can afford to pay So for
a seat to stand on line. One man
who has been associated with the New
York club for yearse said:
Thousands of fans were literally
scared away from the games because
of the stories they read in the news
papers of the big crowds that stood in
line. I have found that the average
fan who can afford to pay SO for a
seat at a worlds series game does not
care to endure the inconvenience OF
standing on line and being showed
and jostled in a jam at the, gates
They would rather stand and watch
the bulletin boards than put up with
the long wait in line. However, as it
turned out, there were no long. lines
and what lines there were moved
through the turnstiles quickly and
without disorder. It is up to the club
officials at the next worlds series te
change the arrangements so that fans
who will pay 50 for seat will not
have to stand on line"

Peter Jackson Fought
Great Contest With
Goddard in Old DAVIS

On Oct. 20, 1890, Peter Jackson and
Joe Goddard fought an eight-round
draw at Melbourne. This contest
was between two Of the best heavy
weights Australia ever turned out
Both were six-footers, and their
weight was about the same, in the
neighborhood of 1875 pounds. When
he fought Goddard the Great Black
Peter had just, returned to Australia
from triumphal tour of the world
on which he had defeated all corners
in America and England.
Goddard, who was about the same age
as Peter. had fought only in his ma
tive Australia. Soon after his bout
with Goddard. jackson returned to
America to fight his memorable 81
round draw with Jim Corbett After
twice knocking out Joe Choynski in
Australia, Goddard crossed the Pa
cific in 1892. He knocked out Joe
McAuliffe and Peter Maher, but was
himself knocked out by Denver Ed"
Smith. Both Jackson and Goddard
are dead, the latter having been killed
in an election rookus in Phi1adel-
phia.

New York, Oct. 2o-ft was learn
ed yesterday that it viii 30 impossible
for Francis Cuimet to take part in
an exhibition four ball golf match
with Charles Evans, Jr., in this Vicin-
ity. but for all that there is every
likelihood of competition being ar
ranged in which Evans will be one of
the principles. The match now talk
ed of calls for a meeting at Engei-
wood between the national amateur
and open champion and Oswald Kirk
by. winner Of the metropolitan and
New Jersey titles last year,
Word was received that Ouimet will
be engaged for the next. three Satur-
days on New England courses and
that about represents all the time off
he can obtain from Camp Aver. He
is scheduled to meet Evans at BFae
Burn next Saturday and unless pres
ent plans go astFay Evans will come
to this city and be prepared to play
here on the following day.
Kirkby said last night that PFovid-'
ed the match is fer the Red Cross it
would be perfectly agreeable to him
to meet Evans at Englewood on Sun
day, October %. As the Hnglewood-
record holder plays that course like
wizard there is little doubt but that
he will keep Chick busy from start

this important feature of the game :?
When it won the southern champion
ship last year from Alabama Poly it
had a life and death struggle in the
third quarter when Poly rushed ball
to it's six-inch line only to be held for
downs. And it's defense against Penn
proved well able to cope with Fol-
wells short forward pass. the pass
that twice upset Yale, gave Harvard
the scare OF its life and proved the un-
doing of Pitt in 1914.
And as for sportsnanship the south
is among the leaders. Witness this

may be in the army before another

board in September but was then told

Anderson is also likely to be in the

Before burying the worlds series
for the winter. Manager McGraw of
the Giants has given out an interview
in which he admits being somewhat
Disguised by the poor showing of his
club. He blames Rariden rather than
Zimmerman for the famous chase of
Eddie Collins. McGraw says thinner
man should not have chased man
toward the plate but claims there was
no excuse for Rariden leaving the
plate unprotected as he did not handle
the ball and had no business up the
base line. McGraw also hands him
self an alfbi for not taking Sallee out
in the last Chicago game. He de-
c1ares Sallee was not hit as hard as
the score indicates and that no pitch
er should be blamed when outfielders
miss chances to gather in flies and
tnfie1ders make errors. There is a
shrewd suspicion that McGraw Is try
ing to save Zimm erman from too
much ridicu1e for he knows Heinie is
a valuable player and does not want
the third baseman to go to pieces
next season.
