Star Player.
BATTING RACE ON IN
THE COAST LEAGUE
Fitzgerald and Rath Finish
ing Contest Very Close
Tomorrow

San Francisco, Oct. 2s.-Those who
have maintained that the changes
made in recent years toward opening
up the American intercollegiate game
Of football, have given the smaller
man an equal chance with the heavier
man to distinguish himself IN the
field found much satisfaction in the
game, played last week between the
University Of California and Occident-
al. .
Quarterback Creswell Of the latter
team, who weighs only 1877 pounds
and the highest mar on the field. was
the star Of the occasion. He outpunt-
ed his heavier California opponent In
the kicking department and made
more consistent gains by running with
the ball than any other man of either
lofted to a nicely 20 a. to allow for
his ends to get down the deld, and
then they all ranged Q net gain Of
over forty yards.
Creswell showed himself to be one
Of the best players on the coast this
season. but the g~eneralship he dis
played in the California game pre-
vented his team from showing at its
best. With an opposing line that out
and his backs outweighed by nearly
twenty pounds. Creswell persisted in
trying to batter his way through his
opponents line instead Of shifting his
attack to the wings by means Of end
plays and passes when he had his ad-
versary punched to meet his continued
center thrusts
The race for the 1917 batting hon

which has been waged throughout the
entire season between Fitzgerald of

will not be decided until tonn6rrow's

Sioux Falls.-The United States cir

sion of the federal court of South Da-
kota in awarding a farm of 100 acres
now worth about $40, 000-to Chas.
Gors, and thereby has written the last
chapter in a contest for possession Of
government land which has continued
for a longer period than any other sim
liar contest in the history of the coun-
try. One Of the claimants of the farm
was Danial Farnum, aged 80, who died
recently after the Ease had been car
ried to the federal circuit court Of
appeals. Farnum was believed to be
the oldest homesteader in the United
States. Worry over the long litiga-
ton for undisputed possession of the
farm is believed to have caused his
death. For more than 43 a he
waited for a clear title to the land
from the government.
