GIANTS TO PLAY
SPRING SERIES
WITH INDIANS

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Cleveland
club of the American League will
tour the South with the Giants next
spring. Announcement of an agree
ment to engage in the joint trip was
made yesterday afternoon by John
B. Foster, secretary of the New York
club. News of the arrangement of
a series with Cleveland came as a
great surprise, as last spring the
Giants entered into a three-year
agreement with the Detroit club.
That contract has been nu1lifed, but
on good authority it can be said that
the Giants did not do the cancelling.
After the series last spring it was
realized that in view of the high
feeling between the players Of the
Detroit and New York clubs they
would not go out together again next
spring. It was understood that next
year the Giants would take part in
no joint trip with any other club. In
fact, the impression existed that such
trips would be taboo all along the
line. The New York American
League club, for one, came out with
the announcement that not only would
it not make another tour with the
Braves, but that it would keep away
from all such arrangements in the
future.
The Giant-C1eveland dates will be
arranged definitely as soon as the
clubs know when the league seasons
are to be opened. Just now the out
look is for late opening, probably
about May 1. Thee lubs will play
most of their games on the tour il
Texas, taking in Dallas, Fort Worth
Houston, Shreveport, La, Waco and
other Texas metrop1ises. On the
way north they will play in Louis.
vile, indianapolis and Columbus
iris Speaker will be with Cleveland
all through the tour; thus making
possible the circus billing of a "Grear
Speaker-Kauf Batting Duel"

Another game in which long stand
ing intercollege rivalry Will play an
important part Is the battle between
Syracuse and Colgate. These two
New York state institutions first met
ON the football field as far back as
1891 and In the subsequent years have
played nineteen games, Of which Col

four, with two contests ending in tie

So far as tomorrow's game Is con
cerned Syracuse appears to have
slight edge over Colgate on the sea-
sons record but this contest will be
the last of the year for the Hamilton
team and while it will be played al
Syracuse, the visiting combination
can be counted upon to force the play
and pace from the'very beginning OF
the struggle. Both elevens have met
two mutual rivals in Brown and Buck
nell Syracuse defeated Brown to

from Brown to 6 and from Buck

Coach Stanwood, put the finishing
touches onto their preparation for the
game Sunday against the strong
American Chain eleven Of Bridgeport
in that city, the drill being closed by
q five-mile run for every member OF
the eleven. This unique run Is ex-
pected to do much for the team men,
bers, and will be continued once
week until the G1ee Club-Annex
game on Thanksgiving Day.
Coach Stanwood last night declar-
ed before he ordered his charges to
follow him in the jaunt along the
Lighthouse Point roads, that the
team has shown UP splendidly. in SO
far as signal and light scrimmaging
was concerned, and in order to har-
den the men for a stiff battle Sunday,
he took the players. 20 in all, COM
pletely by surprise. After the run
was concluded, the men were dis
charged until Sunday morning when
another light practice will be held.
The game Sunday against the
Chains should decide once and for all
the 1917 Connecticut championship
again this year they will capture the
honora They realize that the con-
test Sunday Is or will develop into
one of the hardest on the Annex
schedule, but every member OF the
team feels that the Annex backheld
will be in a position to again repeat
the attack which proved the football
sensation Of the year in Bridgeport,
when with the score to o against
them, they ripped and tore their
way through the Chains line from
their own 20-yard line to the Bridge
porters goal without once losing the
ball, thereby tying the score in the
last contest.
However, 1t will also be remem-
bered that the Annex was in poor
shape in SO far as the aerial attack
was concerned. All the ground gain.

BANKERS LEAD CAMPAIGN
 FOR LIBERTY BONDS

Little Rock, June 6.-The sale of Liberty Bonds in Arkansas is very gratifying, and the indications are that the quota assigned this state will be over-subscribed Everybody is buying Liberty Bonds. The campaign is being led by the bankers, who are themselves buying literally, and handling large quantities. Jobbers are buying bonds for themselves and their employees, who are given an op- portunity to pay for them on easy terms. The A. O. U. w. grand and subordinate lodges have subscribed for $10,000 Student officers in the reserve corps at Fort Roots have taken more than S25,000, and expect to increase this amount to Sl00,000 by June 15. Appeals have been made to school childrene, and men on day wages. Every bond you buy drives another spike in the coffin of Prussan militiarism," is the sentiment that is being emphasized everywhere.
