Der of changes in the National league.
The oncoming Reds and Cardinals
can be looked to to make trouble in
future pennant hunts, and Fred
Mitchell, with money bags opened to
him. should be able to put the Cubs
very much in the race.
As the pennant races and the
worlds series turned out, it is gener-
ally admitted now that the Giants
were the best of a very uncertain lot
of National league ball clubs, and al
tho staunch Giant fans will not ad-
nit that the best team won the
worlds championship, they agree that
the Giants could stand another shak-
ing up in the way of patching the
lineup.

TRAP and FIELD
BY Peter p. Carney.

Golf and trapshooting harbor
sportsmen of all ages. They are the
pastimes which show real contrasts in
the ages of the performers.
The life of a baseball player is uSu-
ally at an end when he turns 40, and
one seldom finds tennis player who
is active beyond that age. Track attn
Ietes in America generally hang up
their shoes before they reach the age
of IS, and it S indeed seldom that one
hears about a football player who has
reached the age of 30-but trapshoot-
.ers and golfers go on indefinitely.
The youngest entrant in the 1916
golf championship was IA years, and
the eldest laid claim to 62 years. This
is quite a contrast, but trapshooting
does even better.
Among the 6S3 entrants in the
grand American handicap in 1916
were w. E. Phillips, Jr., 5 years, of
Chicago, Ill, and Capt. John F. Brett
enstein. 73 years, of Burlington, Ia.
Phillips, Jr., and Breitenstein were
among the sos entrants in the 1917
grand American handicap, but their
laurels were taken by others. Max
Emery of CHI ago, Ill, IA years, was
the youngest trapshooter. and Capt.
Andrew Meaders of Nashville, Tenn,
76 years, was the oldest.
That age is no bar to ability was
proven by Captain Meaders when he
broke SO of the targets. This was
Master Emery's first tournament. He
smashed 83 of the clay birds.

A YEAR
With That Salary, McGraW's
Friends Think Him Unlucky.
They Point to His Failures in
Worlds Series.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Nov. SIS there jinx
following John McGraw?
Being the manager of the New York
Giants and drawing an annual salary
of $4,000 doesn't suggest that Nc
Graw is unlucky, not by a jugfull.
But McGraw's friends say he is
hoodooed because of the fact that his
pennant winners since 1905 have been
unable to land the worlds champion
ship.
There may be something to it, and
then again there may not be, but
McGraw has certainly been out of
luck in worlds series, and to say the
least his latest attempt to capture
the big purple and gold championship
was not smeared with horseshoes or
four-leaf clovers.
Lost on Their Luck.
No one can take an ounce of credit
away from the White Sox for the
manner in which they galloped home
with the worlds title this year. Yet
the deciding game of the series, and
the game in which the Sox came from
behind to yovershadow a five-run score
were tough games for New York to
lose, and it is only fair to say so.
Heinie Zim and Dave Robertson
sloughed away the deciding game
with their errors and Zims mann
moth bone play. The fifth game was
in the contest too long and then
ordered him to put the winning tally
on the bags.
Back in 1912 Fred Snodgrass
dropped a fly ball and went down in
baseball annals as the creator of
what was probably. the most costly
error ever made. Frank Baker
home runs off Matty and Marquard
were also responsible for Jawn's he
roes losing out, and Merkle's famous
lapse of memory in not touching sec
ond kept the Giants out of the hunt
for worlds series dough and honors.
Since the recent worlds series end
ed not a few baseball men are in
clined to believe that despite the easy
manner in which McGraw's team cap
tured the National league bunting this
year, 1918 will see a new order OF
things.
Giant Shakeup Soon.
The Giants, it is pointed out, will
have to undergo some changes with
in two years time, for a great many

AGCEVILLE CAME.
Jayhawkers and Farmers in
Annual Battle Today.
Title Hopes of Both Teams De-
pend on Outcome.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 3.-Hun-
dreds of graduates and former stu
dents of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college are back to visit old
haunts of college days and to witness
this afternoons gridiron clash be-
tween the University of Kansas eleven
and the Kansas Aggies. Today is the
annual Homecoming" day and for
mer Aggies from many parts of the
middle west are here to observe it.
The big attraction of the day was
the afternoons football game Not
for eleven years has an Aggie eleven
defeated team from the university.
Last year the two teams played a tie
game at Lawrence. This year the
Aggie followers predict an Aggie vic
tory.
When the two teams trotted out on
the gridiron this afternoon it was esti-
mated they would be faced by from
5000 to 5000 spectators and the
bands of the University of Kansas and
the military department of the Agri-
cultural college. Preceding the game,
cross-country teams representing the
two institutions staged a five-mile
run. Between halves of the football
game, there will be appropriate
stunts. Tonight will be the big
Homecoming" reception and social
gathering.
Several hundred students from the
University of Kansas arrived in the
city on a special train shortly before
noon today, and, headed by the uni
versity band, marched thru the main
streets of the city and later to the
college grounds. A section of the
grandstand and bleachers was re-
served for them. They will return
to Lawrence this evening
This afternoons contest was virtu-
ally a championship game. The Ag-
gies have defeated two valley elevens,
the Missouri Tigers and the Wash
in OF al Of
Kansas has defeated the Ames eleven.
Should the Aggies defeat Kansas to-
day, the championship would practi-
cally be clinched as the Aggies do
not play Nebraska this year. A Kan
sas victory will place Kansas in the
lead.

Western Conference Teams
Fight for Their Survival.
Iowa Breaks Precedent To Play
Naval Station Team.

Chicago, H., Nov. 3.-Four un-
beaten teams were to meet in western
conference football games this after
noon, considerably clarifying the
championship situation.
These elevens are Ohio State, Hi
nois. Minnesota and Chicago. one OF
them was particularly certain of ellml-
nation, as Illinois met Chicago mere
and only tie could avert such re
suit. Minnesota played Wisconsin IN
the latters home town, while ONO
State took on Indiana at Indianapolis.
Altho Wisconsin has been eliml-
mated by Illinois, the game was close
and the Badgers were expected to give
the GOphers a hard battle. Ohio state
was expected to experience no dlf11-
Guilty in disposing of the HOos1ers.
Northwestern and Purdue met in
another conference game, at Lafay-
cite, but both elevens have been de-
ceated this year. Northwestern SEEM
ed to have the edge.
The Michigan Kalamazoo game, at
Ann Arbor, was generally looked upon
as a mere workout for the Wolver-
ines in preparation for next Sunday s
clash with Cornell. Michigan mar
rowly escaped defeat at the hands OF
two other small state teams-Detroit
and Western State Normal-this year,
and Kalamazoo is rated but little be-
low those elevens.
An innovation in conference foot
ball was introduced at Iowa City,
where az member of the Big Ten met
an independent eleven for the first
time in history. Iowa's opponent was
the Great Lakes Naval Training sta
ton The Jackies lineup contained
such stars as Blackjack, of the Michi-
gan Aggies, and Pat Smith,, captain
elect of Michigan, and has not been
defeated this year.
In the southwest, Baylor was doped
to wallop Texas, and Missouri is ex-
pected to take oklahoma into camp.
Dopesters considered the K. U.-Kan-
sas Aggie game a toss up.
New York. Nov 3.-Around the
stalwart. powerful frame of Elmer
Onphant, Army's football team was
ready to swirl into it's biggest game of
the year at West Point this afternoon
against the Notre Dame eleven.
AT New Brunswick. N. j., the strong
Rutgers team. so far indicated, was
to tackle the powerful West Virginia
team from the south.
At Providence. r. L, Browns I'M
stopped machine took on Syracuse.
These were the three finest arrays of
football that have been trotted out
for the fans inspection this year, and
the most brilliant spot in the trio was
at West Point.
Importance of more than usual sort
attaches TO the Army-Notre Dame af-
fair because of its east-west feature
and because of old rivalry between the
teams. Notre Dame came east a few
years ago and by a series of overhead
passes downed the service eleven.
The lesson was a good one, for last
year the army met and defeated
Notre Dame by precisely the same
tactics.

game will be attempted to settle definitely
are the kind Of sports who desire clean
cut honoTs and there is little doubt they
will be pressed for a decisive battle.
In such an event, a game played for the
benefit of the Red Cross in Topeka or some
other city of the state would be big draw
Kansas conference Such a game between
Nebraska and the. Aggies if the latter
should defeat K U. and Ames, also would
be big grid attraction.
On the face Of 1t the resignation of Beau
Olcott who is leaving K. o. to take up mill
tary training camp work may look as tho
he is deliberately leaving the Jaybawkers
flat on their backs. But he is only putting
patriotism first, every loyal American
should do, and also, there may be some
thing behind the scenes that the world will
never know about
1t has been rumored around the K. q.
'fn German" with some of the powers that
be and that they we're anxious to have him
resign. However, it is unkind to place any
such construction on his actions, as Mr..
Olcott made the statement in Topeka before
the opening of the season that he had Of
fered his services to the government and
would accept any duty assigned to him.
The departure of their coach in mid
season is certain not to have a beneficial
effect on the X. U. grid men. But there
could be little doubt that they faced bad
stances and if the worst comes to the
worst they will have to be content with
1 the satisfaction that they put liberty first
Sensational long runs have been unusual
~ rare on the gridirOn this season, prob
ably because most of the teams are largely
made up of green material and the inter
ference is not what it should be. The
longest run recorded so far was that of
Miller Of Pittsburg who did a 90 yard
marathon for a touchdown in the game
with Lehigh.
f. c. Quigley, national league umpire
! and exist Mary's coach, passed thru To-
j peka Friday on his way to Emporia to
work in the C. of E. game. He will officiate

aSbrilliant football man, noted for his

He nails the interference every time

ball too. He weighs $50 pounds and
is tall, and rangy. He has developed
the ability to receive the pass in great

The Hays team had its closest call
of the season at Lindsborg Friday
when the Bethany Swedes put up a
wonderful fight and were defeated
only by the margin of a field goal,
made by Hays in the last quarter.

Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

The Topeka high school eleven was idle
this week, but Coach Bearg has beeen put
ring his men thru the mill in preparation
for the game next Wednesday at Emporia
with the Emporia highs. This is expected to
be tough one, but the locals are in good
condition and will put up a hard fight 1t
is believed.
W. c. speer, the Hays Normal coach,
has more than his score record to prove
that his team is above the average Kansas
conference eleven. The Speer men have
played thru three conference games without
a single substitute having been sent into
the line up and in the three games time
has been taken out for them only two or
three times.
One of the hottest games Kansans will
have a chance to this season will be
the annual c. of E.-Emporia Normal game
at Enporia Thanksgiving. Always this
is a Spartan against Cpartan clash, but
this year the two teams will be more evenly
matched than they have been fo- some time
