PLAYERS
Fight HARDER NOW
Nathan A. Tufts. Leading Gndiron
Official. Makes Statement.

Despite the fact that football inter-
est this season IL not as great or as
widespread as In the past and that
the calibre Of the average eleven is
not quite up to the standard of peace
times the fact remains that the
teams Of this year are more intense
fighters than OF yore. This impress
sion Is upheld by Nathan A. Tufts,
Of. Brown, one of the best football
officials insthe country. who has Of
ficated this season from Maine down
to West Virginia and has had fine
opportunity to size up teams and en-
thusiasm. -
"I have found that the football
teams Of this season are better fight-
ers than past elevens. This is es-
pecially true of Pennsylvania, Rut-
gers and Syracuse. All three are
among the ranking elevens. The
fight, think, is due to the fact that
most Of the players are new men.
With very lew veteran players back
in the game, a fighting spirit has
been produced that Is even better and
stronger than any that have ever
seen.
due no doubt to the fact that
NdEuB 4dAe dLu luCtlOH
ed their series, the interest in foot
ball this year has not been as general
as in the past. However, there is a
wholesome enthusiasm in Philadel-
phia. Pittsburgh and Syracuse. The
football followers have turned out in
great numbers at each OF these
cities"
Columbia College has Just finished
its football season and Columbia
University is not exactly overjoyed
about the record made by the Blue
and White eleven. The coiiegIans
defeated the Brooklyn Naval Reser-
yes in a practice game and started in
impressive fashion with a victory
over Union. 2-to-0. Then came de-
feats by Williams and Amherst. and
a victory over Hobart, which would
have been showed under by any of
the New York high school elevens. To
end the season, Columbia was beaten
by Wesleyan and New York Uni
sersity.
This is not intended to emphasize
the shortcomings of this season S
team. However, before another sea
son rolls around Columbia should
make the eleven representative of
OF the little college student body. Not
while the team il representative only
OF the college can Columbia hope to
have a strong eleven.

'MINORLEAGUE MOGULS
LACK THE old Fight
Attempt to Form New Circuit Proves
Magnates Were Afraid Of
One Another.

New York, Nov. 3.-If minor
league magnates were not SO death
| ly scared of each other they might
be able to get together some time
and accomplish things which would
better conditions everywhere in the
National Association.
A few reactionaries in American
Association ranks, supported by
scattering representatives, fro m
other minor leagues, attempted TO
pave the way for a plan to redis-
ltrict the minor leagues at the re-
cent minor leagues meeting in
Louisville, and the attempt was q
| fine flivVer.
The magnates who started the
movement had selfish motives in
view, it Is true, but they did not
lack just motives as well. for, re-
gardless of what dissenting club
owners in the American Association
may have said. II is a known fact
that several OF them were prepared
to announce at Louisville that they
did not intend to open their gates
in 1913. The only thing which
forced them to change their minds
was the fear that the redistricting
plan might go through. in which
event they would be classed with
cities now holding franchises in the
Western League.
The magnates in every minor
league in the country-and we be-
lleve We can say this without ex-
iception-would jump at the chance
| to get higher rating. Naturally they
do not want to be showed back, and
they need not be. But clubs left in
leagues which would have been split
up through a redistricting of the
minors claim that their franchises
would be hurt by, association with
cities brought up from a class just
below them and that interest among
the fans would fall OF to an alarm
ing degree!
This argument is a good one. no
doubt, but the fact remains that the
minor leagues have been losing money
as a whole for the past two or three
years. dating back to- the advent Of
fthe Federal League, and that some
thing should be done 10 better con-
ditions.
; Mileage in the minor leagues-many
of them, at least-is SO great, even in
a shortened season, that II eats up
| profits with alarming swiftness. over
head expenses in general. ought to be
| cut down. and this could be done il
The minors. as whole. would settle
down for once in their lives and talk
business without flirting with the
thought that everybody is trying to
double-cross everybody else.
The best proof that the minors need
shaking up was shown in the an
nual report of Secretary John Farrell.
which showed that two years ago
| thirty-nine minor leagues were operat-
| ing, while last season only thirteen
played out theR schedules. and that
prospects for more than eight or ten
starting the season Of 1918 were
mighty slim.
Bill Rourke, president and owner of
the Omaha (Western League) club hit
the nail on the head at the meeting
of the Western League, held in Louis
vile, when he said:
"Why don't you fellows stop kid
ding yourselves? You talk like you
have been making a mint of money,
where in reality you know you're all
broke and will be lucky to finish next
season."
Rourke is a minor league club owner
who has been in the game for a score
OF years. and he ought to know what
ne is talking about.

Tough Job Nowadays
To Purchase PLAYERS

Col Jacob Rupert, of the Yankees,
fraternized with the minor leagues
at the Louisville meeting and says
that he likes it fine. The Colonel
went to the Kentucky metropolis lined
with dough and willing to purchase
some players. but came back home
empty-handed. just as most of the
club owners did who were looking for
playing talent. Buying players in
these days of uncertainties in base
ball is far from an every day occur

season.

twice clouting Frank Klaus, of Pitts
burgh, for the count. klaus became
an alleged title holder by beating
Billy Papke.
Papke's claim was based on the fact
that he was the last man to meet
Stanley Ketchel, who died with the
crown In his possession. Papke also
once stopped Georges Carpenter, of
France, but he claimed the title on
his last contest with Ketchel.
This makes 1t evident that the mid
dleweiSht situation is as badly mud
died as the political affairs of Russia.
Fans probably would be willing to
recognize the winner of a Gibbons
o'Dowd fight as the legitimate holder
of the title.
'T'n beat Mike Gibbons for the title
some day, just see IL I don't" was
ODowd's declarakion months ago
when he was little more than a pre-
liminary fighter. 1t seems the threat.
or promise, or prediction, is near full

a great twenty-round battle, and per-
haps it may come sometime. And

No one ever considers golf attached
to any warlike detail Its general
color scheme is the green Of the
fairway and the gray and brown of
the heather, not the red fame Of bat
tie.
Yet selfs contribution to this war
has been one Of the big things Of
the times, for the old game has
in lavish profusion.
Coils Financial AID.
There is no set record yet availa-
BILE as to how many dollars golf has
turned in for the Red Cross or other
war relief funds. But a faint esti-
mate is at least possible. Back in
May, on Memorial Day, metropolitan
clubs of New York alone turned in
over 500, 900, single clubs contributing
5000 and 5000 to the fund.
Later on, at Fourth Of July tour
naments throughout the country, over
$SO. 900 was raised.
Here are two lone fund from golf
that netted around S175,O0o. In addi-
ton to this are all the exhibition
matches played by Ouimet, Travers.
Evans, Kirkby. Guilford. Sawyer, An
derson and others-doZens of them
which netted from $50 to $500 for
each match.
There was stiTl another general con.
tribution. Money collected back IN
April for prizes at more than a thou
sand clubs vas almost without ex-
ception. turned over to the Red Cross
and war.
Many Of these clubs turned in from
1900 to $3.50 each. Others only
had 500 to offer. But the total ran
up into important figures. Here is
a known record Of golf contributions
that reach the S590.O mark. and IL
doesn't include countless minor do
nations. There was the only July
tournament among professionals and
amateurs under the Golf Profession
ais Association that netted over s.,
900.
As for Men.
But golf has done. someting more
than turn in an immense sum OF
money. undoubtedly a greater amount
than any other sport has been able to
raise.
Its contributions in men has been
just as complete. Here is a partial
list of leading stars: Bob Gardner.
Ouimet, Marston, Kerr. Carter. Ham
Gardner, Blossom. Topping, and any
number OF others.
Since marching and the proper
condition of legs and feet are a big
part of war. golf has been a fine

and soon learns how to take good
