AFTER A NEW MANAGER
Pittsburgh Club Reported to Be
in Quest of Carleton Moles-
worth for the Job.

Out Pittsburgh way they are still busy
selecting new manager for the Pirates.
The latest appointee is Carleton Moles-
worth, who has been managing the Bir-
mingham club of the Southern Associa-
tion with more than ordinary success.
He has the distinction of being an athlete
who hit over 800 for ten consecutive
seasons. and yet never had a try-out in
major league company He went from
the New York State League to Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. in 1901. when the present
Southern Association was formed. From
Chattanooga he went to Birmingham the
next season and has been with that club
ever since-si1teen seasons as player,
player manager and bench manager. He
played centerfied in his day. and besides
being a fast ground coverer. was rated
one of the most dangerous batsmen in
the minors.

known is below medium stature and is

SACRIFICES IN WORLD SERIES.

When it comes down to rocl. pan, Nc
Graw's base-stealing policy, which has
been such a vital factor in his pennants.
prior to this very exceptional year, has
never stood him in good stead in the
worlds series. Thieving has never won a
worlds series. The most famous theft
in the big show was the time Ty Cobb
stole home against Pittsburgh In 1909
Since then the runners have not done
much.
On the other hand. the sacrifice has
been worked with great success in the
worlds series by the American League
teams The Boston Red Sox pestered
the Superbas to death with II in 1916.
and in 1915 they used it with equally dis
tressing results upon the Philles
1t is a safe prediction that when the
White Sox meet the Giants in the series
this year, the White SoX will do much
more sacrificing than stealing, and that
their sacrificing will help them materially
,nless the Giant pitchers use to the oc-
casion and pitch practically shut-out ball.
Such pitching would reduce the sacrifice
totals by keeping men off bases. Wheth-
ar McGraw, who has profited little or
nothing by his thievish ways when he got
INTO a worlds series, will switch in the
main event and adopt the sacrifice he has
hitherto spurned is one of the little prob
lens for the fans to ruminate over be-
tween now and then.

PASS UP ABOUT s5OO,0O0
Big Three Universities Heavy Losers
by Abandoning Foot Ball Sched-
ules This Season. /

Half million dollars that Harvard.
Yale and Princeton could coax from
tho sporting public's bottomless pocket
will be left untouched this season. In
discontinuing their regular foot ball
schedules for 1917. the big three" have
automatically left this cool half million
in circulation for the worlds series or
something else to get.
Last year the big three" in playing
schedules totaling fewer than thirty
games. got 100000 alone in foot ball
meet heavy gridiron expenses. but a
lot more of 1t stayed right in the
strong box. waiting TO make up the de-
ficits registered by most of the other
college sports.
Foot ball is like the show business.
Honey that is passed up at any given
performance never comes back. so the
half million represents dead loss.
Meanwhile. with nothing coming In.
certain fixed charges continue to roll up
at Cambridge, New Haven and Prince
ton.
The upkeep of the football plants and
the salaries of the office forces GO
merrily on. The athletic treasures paw
the bills out of the surplus that has
been collected in previous plutocratic
years. But by the time the big three"
are ready to resume foot ball there will
doubtless be deficits in all three treas
uries.
BY the time foot ball is once more
restored to good standing among all
the colleges. Harvard. Yale and Prince
ton, in common with the other fellows.
will have sizable deficits to make up.
They have always kept athletic re-
ceipts and academic receipts separate
at these universities, possibly because
the athletic income looked more at
tractive than the tuition credit, II is
not allowable to draw on the general
treasury to make up athletic losses.
One good foot bail season will there
fore be required to put the big three"
on a firm financial basis again: just
one season. With the whole situation
clarified in such easy fashion as that,
it is not TO be wondered at that Har-
ward and Yale and Princeton can afford
TO follow their judgment and withdraw
from varsity foot bali this year.

BREAKS RECORD Winning
HARNESS GOLD TROPHY
Chevrolet Beats De Palma In 100
Mile Auto Race, Covering Dis
tance in A20.98.

NEW YORK. September 22.-Louis
Chevrolet won the 100-mile automobile
race for the Hardness gold trophy on
the Sheepshead Bay speedway track
today. Ralph De Palma was second.
Eddie Hearne. third: Ralph milford.
fourth. and Dan w. Hickey, fifth.
Chevrolet's time OF 5s2o.9s is a new
American speedway record for tho
distance. His average speed was l1o.&
miles an hour. The former American
record was 56.57.72. made over the
same track by Dario Resta in 1915.
After the first lap the race developed
into a duel between Chevrolet and Dc
Palma. as this pair gradually drew
away from the sixteen other starters.
After going fifty miles the winner and
De Palma. who were racing almost to-
gether. had gained a full lap on the
others. but on the next lap De Palma
had to stop at the pit TO renew two
tires, and lost nearly lap IN conse-
quence. His time was 561S4o.
Dario Resta. the 1915 and 1916 cham
pion, who had shown a speed OF 11s
miles an hour in practice during the
week. was forced out of the contest
after going fourteen miles through the
breaking of a cam shaft housing.
The contest was remarkably free
from accidents or interruption OF any
kind other than tire or engine trouble
with some of the cars.

TRIBE OF MEXICAN INDIANS
GREATEST RUNNERS IN WORLD
These People Have Wonderful Endurance
and Are Known to Have Run
Down Horses and Deer.

It may not be generally known that
the champion runners OF the world are
to be found in one Of Mexico's primitive
tribes says w. L. Beasley, in the South
American. These people of such
phenomenal endurance, the Tarahu-
mares, whoe name signifies "the men
who rum" are remarkable tribe or
runners, known only to a few explorers
and travellers, and have their homes
in the Sierra Madre mountains, where
the steep gorges, almost inaccessible
to white men, called barrancas, are
1000 feet deep. They formerly num-
bered some $4,000. but are now reduced
to less than 5000. The greater part
have be come Mexicanized. having adopt
ed the customs and dress OF cfviliZa-
ton. and are nominally Christians,
though still retaining their many ma
tive ceremonies and feasts.
Agriculture is carried on in limit
ed and primitive manner. Corn is their
most highly priced and favorfte food.
To plant 1t they simply make hole
in the earth with a stick and drop In
few grains. covering up the hole with
their foot. Beans and squashes are
raised and a few domestic animals. such
care being taken of their hocks.
Both men and women wear long, flow
ing, straight black hair. They enjoy
wonderful health, the women being
likewise of fine physique and general
ly just as strong as the men. They
are not the record breaking runners
in regard to short bursts of speed, but
are unmatched and marvellous in en-
durance. They move at a slow trot
running steadily and constantly, and
a messenger has been known to cover
500 miles and back again by road in
five days.
Their skill in foot racing is put to
good advantage at times by earning
money to provide material comforts
Mexican landowners possess many
horses which are. for months at a time

WANTED YALE TO SUFFER
Once Upon q Time When the Late
Everett J. Wendell Wa7
Heartless.

An amusing incident is related of the
late Everett J. Wendell. former noted
Harvard athlete, who died recently in
Paris while engaged in war work. Mr.
Wendell was invariably on the side
lines when Harvard played her annual
foot ball games with Yale and Prince
ton. In 1901 Harvard won from Yale,
70 to 0. at Cambridge. 1t was the most
crushing defeat the Blue had ever sus-
tained up to that time and in many re-
spects acted as a balm for Harva rd
wounds for the many defeats at Yale's
hands in former years. MIR. wendell
was acting as cheer leader. AS the
game was nearing an end, after Har-
ward had displayed an absolute supe-
riority in every respect over Yale and
had battered the Blue into an almost
helpless condition by using Cuts, Gray
don and Ristine in tandem formation,
there came n lull in the CrImSon'S en-
thusia SIN and cheering.
At this juncture Mr.. Wendell pick ID
up a megaphone and strongly exhorted
the Harvard contingent to cheer and
then cheer some more. shouting: .'W e
want another touchdown" An intimate
friend happened to be standing near
Mr. Wendell and said to him, WHY.
Everett don't you think We have scored
enough points? WHY ask for more
crushing defeat of Yale?" Mr.. Wen
dell answered excitedly, Yes, ! fully
realize all you say, but l also remem =
ber that year after year we have been
beaten by Yale. and now God knows
Yale should suffer"

Mexico an Indian Countryl
rom the New Republic

From the New Republic.
1t is of Importance to inquire into tho
attitude taken by the southern Indians
of Mexico toward the official Spanish
civilization. If IT is difficult for an out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the rea-
sons for their marked hatred of the
Spanfard 1t seems self-evident OF
any one who has spent any time with
them To the southern Indians. the
Spanfard and his successor, the Span

conqueror. They feel that they are In
dians and that Mexico is an Indian
country. For instance, one of the com
mon objections to Madero encountered
in OaXaca was that he was not an In
dian and the President of Mexico
should be an Indian. This attitude is
significant, and II is not strange TO
find even a northern Indian like Huerta
proudly exclaiming: "Yo SO indiana"
Carranza's lack of popularity in the
south is not so much due to the fact
that southern Mexico Is the home OF
Diaz as to the fact that Carranxa 10 not

BY SEA
Hirth of the Linen Collar.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The wife of Troy On " black
smith is said to have been the first
person to make separate collars for
mons shirts. This happened in 1925,
and men have been suffering ever
since Outside of inventing the seDa-
rate collar this woman did the family
washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work
making separate collars for her hus-
bands shirts and then made enough to
sell outside the home. This innovation
attracted the attention of Rev. Ebenezer
Brown, retired Methodist minister
and he, with the aid of the women Of
his family. went about selling collars.
This was in 1923.
All the work on these early collars
was done by hand, for the sewing ma
chine had not yet been invented. In
those days not more than a dozen
collars day were sold. Their name
string collars"-was specially appro-
pirate. for they We're tied around the
neck with string of tape attached to
each end of the collar. Except the
bands, the first separate collars were
generally all linen and of two thick
nesses, although some were faced with
cotton cloth. They were slightly stiff
ened and had high points extending
