Eastern colleges have found it neces-
sary to economic considerably in their
football programs this fall and many of
them have agreed that the one-man
coaching system of the west is an ex-
cellent idea
1t has been the general practice
among eastern schools to employ not
one coach but squad Of coaches,
each man presiding over the training
CT a different department Of the game.
At Yale and Harvard there have al
ways been head coaches, assisted by
coaches for the linemen, kickers and
backfield, with the result that seldom
have the eastern schools shown the
beneficial influence of one strong per
sonality.
In the west there have developed
such stars of the coaching business
as Fielding H Yost of Michigan,
AlonZo Stagr Of Chicago and Robert
%uppBe Of Illinois All Of these men
have made records that viii live for
ever in the football history of the
middle west It is also interesting
70 note that of these men none was
ever q real star Of the gridiron and
in fact one of them. Zuppke. never
played college football at all.
Vest had been only a fair football
nlayer at Lafayette when he went to
Michigan and deveoped some of the
greatest machines the game will ever
remember. Robert Zuppke had beer
a star Basketball PLAYER at Wisconsin

when he arrived at Illinois to coach
the football team and Stage while at
Yale had been better known as a base
ball star than as a football hero
The popularity of the one-man sys-
tenn of coaching in the middlewest
may be seen in the fact that both
Stage and Yost have been with the
same schools for the past fifteen years.
Iuppke came into prominence more
recently and at about the time that
the open game came into favor. There
can be no doubt that the one-man idea
has been successful where it has been
rracticed, but there has never been
the opportunity to compare justly the
play of the eastern schools with the
western.
Michigan is the only middle western
eleven that has had many battles on
eastern fields and Michigan in recent
years has not had the teams it has
in tho old days Of blood-and-iron foot
ball, turning out such champions as
the teams of -'02'03-'04
1t cannot be said, however, that
there have been no individual coaching
stars in the east and men like Sharpe
of Cornell, Warner of Pittsburgh and
Sanford of Rutgers come to mind.
Warner has a record of long service at
Carlisle and Pittsburgh that is as con-
sjstent as any and Sanford has never
failed to turn out we'll organized
team at Rutgers whatever the material
on hand.

RICHMOND VOTES
TO PUT TEAM IN
LEAGUE IN 1918
Central Circuit May Play
Through Season = Jessup
Attends Meeting.

1t is quite probable that the Central
league will be in the field again next
year, and, in this event, Richmond
will be one of the cities of the circuit.
This statement is made by Clarence
Jessup, director Of the Richmond
Central League club, who represented
the Richmond club at the Central
league meeting held in Louisville this
week.
When President Stahlhafer of the
Central league took the poll Of the
club representatives as to whether
the league should operate next season
Put the question first to Jessup. He
was informed that Richmond was
ready to place a team in the field
Springfield, Fort Wayne and Evans
vile voted the same way
Peoria Prefers Central.
The league president was informed
| that Peoria was to have a league team
next year and preferred to be in the
! Central league. Peoria is claimed by
| the Three l league, however. and in
| the event that organization resumes
| operations next year it is probable
/ that Peoria will be assigned to that
circuit. The Western league also
would like to have Peoria.
Muskegon will not have league
baseball next year and Grand RAPIDS
is not in favor of operating the league
next year. If the league is operated
in 1917 it quite probable that Dayton
will again be included in the circuit
under a new management
Central league magnates are hope
ful of retaining Peoria in the league
Two cities to take the place of Grand
Rapids and Muskegon will be secured.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Consolidation

Leagues and the formationof two or

of great brilliance among the Wolver-

Western football appears to be way
out in front of eastern football this
season Not only has football interest
been keener in the west but on the
several occasions when western teams
have battled with teams of the east
the latter have been more or less COM

Michigan's handling Of Cornell was
fair sample of the situation and

CROP ESTIMATES.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-The August gov
eminent crop report will be given to
the trade at 1:15 p. m. Chicago time
today. The winter wheat crop is. ex-
pected to be slightly over 440, 200, 900
bushels; spring wheat, around 234,-
000,0 bushels; total, close to 675,-
100000, against $40, 900, 900 bushels
last year. Corn is expected to be
100000 bushels; oats, slightly over
1,453, 900, 900 bushels.
One Of the Oldest corr specialists
says erratic action Of the market is
due largely to the fact that most Of
those now trading in corr formerly
operated in wheat and do o fully
understand the action of corn trade
as 1t Is different from that in wheat.
He regards crop prospects as the best
in years and while not looking for
any wide changes in prices at present,
believes that corn should be sold on
all sharp advances from this level.
Export bids on oats were out of line
but eastern interests were fair buyers
of cash oats here yesterday. Those
who watched operations closely said
traders were too bearish and while the
hedging sales are increasing mainly
in the September, there was too much
one-sidedness for the market to go to
pieces at present. A feature Of the
traQlnB yesterday was the buying or
May and selling Of December which
reduced the spread to 3 cents at one
time.-Herald!
Chicago, Aug. 8.-The government
report this afternoon will, in my opin-
ion, show about 3 Ia million bushels
Of corn. If market breaks on report
or discounts it, would advise buying
corn.-Clement. 81, 4

month, 81; last year, S4.-Dennis.

FAIL TO
LOWER CORN PRICE

Chicago. Aug. Although gener-
GUS rains that promiseds>to enlarge
the yield of corn had a bearish in
fluence for a while on prices Of that
cereal. today, the fact that rural Of
sferings were not large and no big
movement soon, as was expected, led
afterward to q reaction. The market
closed steady, 1-8@3-8c net higher.
Wheat gained SAC and closed steady;
oats finished unchanged to 1-8c low
er. and provisions down 10000.
At first the corn market showed a
decided downward tendency owing to
the emphasis which drenching rains
throughout the west had given to the
optimistic outlook for this seasons
crop. The fact soon became evident,
however; that offerings were not as
large as expected, and talk grew some
what general that no big movement
from rural holders could be looked
for until the safety Of the, crop
had been more thoroughly assured. A
material bulge in prices followed but
only a small portion of the gains were
held.
Complaints Of dry weather dam
age in Canada tended to lift wheat
values. Previously the market had
been on the down grade owing to in
creased arrivals of new wheat from
the domestic winter crop region.
Prospects Of a bumper yield Of oats
made the oats market relatively easy.
Higher quotations on hogs put tenn
porary strength into provisions.

TONSILS AND
TEETH CAUSE
OF BAD ARMS
Crutcher and Chalmers Find
Out Reason for Their In
effectiveness.

Kansas City, Aug. S.-There's prob
ably many a baseball pitcher worry
ing about the loss of the zip to his fast
ball or the break to his curve because
of a sore arm who could be saved by a
simple little operation-and thai OPP
GRAFTON not on his arm.
1t sounds strange, but doctors these
days are blaming q great deal of arm
trouble on the tonsils and the teeth.
Whoa! Don't laugh. That's a real
theory, a new one, and one that may
save the arms of both Dick Crutcher,
a Blue pitcher under suspension, and
George Chalmers, a pitcher released
by the club some time ago.. .
Chalmers and Crutcher. both trou-
bled with sore arms which seemed to
make their pitching ineffective, re-
Gently consulted DR.. F. D.. Dickson, a
diagnostician. He told Chalmers his
arm probably would be all right If he
a his tonsils removed. He told
Crutcher his arm trouble probably
was caused by assesses at the roots
Of his teeth, according to the players.
A Poison From the Tonsils.
DIR. Harry Czarlinsky, Kansas City,
explains the new theory. It has been
found that the tonsils, when infected,
contain a poison which drips into the
system and affects the muscles. To
this poison. is laid a great deal of the
rneumatlSm n neur1ClS these days,
it is said. Removal of the tonsils will
remove the poison and may eventually
result in the arm regaining its old
strength.
The assesses at the roots Of the
teeth have a similar effect. They, too.
contain a poison that causes rheumatic
and muscular trouble, it is said.
To Undergo Operations.
Chalmers plans to ave his tonsils
removed and will then have his arm
placed in a cast, hoping it will regain
the strength hat kept him in the
majors seven years. Crutcher has re-
turned to his home in Kentucky. He
probably will visit a dentist and have
his teeth attended to-. in the hope his
arm can be re-adjusted to the strength
h a made him a winning pitcher for
the Blues last year.
But there's probably many a hurler
who hasn't heard of the new theory
who is having masseurs massage and
"bonesetters" set with no relief, when
the simple little operation would
lengthen their playing-paying days in
baseball.
