Duke of Brabant-and one only can

There are Americans who seem to
feel that in order to prove their de-
mocracy they must proclaim buster

American league, who was driven
out of the opening game of the
worlds series yesterday under a
broadside of hits, today expressed
confidence in his ability to come
back at the Reds whenever called
upon by Manager kid" Gleason.
Cicotte with nearly thirty victories
to his credit this season is carry
ing the hopes of the Chicago fans
on his shoulders and they have
every confidence that he will pitch
the Sox to victory in two and pos
sibly three of the remaining games.
The master of the shine" and
iknuckle" ball declared today that
he was completely unnerved when
he hit Rath, the first man up in
the game yesterday and lost all
control of the ball in the fourth
inning.
Hard to Explain.
1T is hard to explain" Cicotte
said, but l was in no condition to
pitch the game that I had expected.
I felt perfectly confident before
the game started and appeared to
have everything" when 1 was
warming up, but when I hit Rath.
it seemed to have a strange effect
on me. I felt so badly about it
that l trotted with him along the
first base line to see if the ball had
hurt him. When Rath assured me
that he was alright / went back

Supporters of the White Sox be-
lieve that Manager Gleason will
send Cicotte to oppose the Reds in
the game scheduled in Chicago Fri

IN FOOTBALL
CAMPS

Evanston, Oct. 2.-The missing
of a goal kick by Captain Bob
KoehIer caused the Northwestern
varsity to sacrifice their 40 minute
scrimmage to the minors, to 6,
yesterday. 1t was the first scrim-
mage of the year in which goal
kicks were attempted.
Despite the fact, the varsity
pulled a flock of new plays, the
freshies made the battle bitter, and
held them strongly. Sam Peytou,
the sable halfback, got through for
the elders marker, and Sold, half
back, gave the youngsters their
tally. Jerry Noonan, the fresh"
quarter, kicked goal.
Buddy Lane, alternating with
Peyton, was punting an almost
even so yards, which seemed to
please the coach. Scott and Filing
wood were close to Lane in the dis
lance of their boots. The rest of
the time was given over to tackling
and line scrimmage.
Minnesota.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. with
only two days left before the open
ing game, DR.. Williams seems more
doubtful than ever on the Mime
sofa lineup. Yesterday he turned
his lineup upside down, and when
the regulars got through practice
they did not know where they
would play Saturday against North
Dakota. One of the surprises was
the fact that Chuck" Darling. who
was expected to be the star of the
back field, was ierked suddenly
from scrimmage. 1t appeared Ger
tain last night that Haertel, a full
back, and Arnold Oss, an end,
would not start in the opening
game. There was a stiff scrim-
mage yesterday, but only a light
signal drill is on tap for today and
tomorrow. The North Dakota team
will arrive in Minneapolis Satur-
day morning.
NOtre Dame.
Notre Dame, Ind, Oct. Final
scrimmage for the Kalamazoo game
was held yesterday on a water
logged field which prevented first
class work. Joe Brandy was in
charge of the varsity He ran the
team well and executed several
brilliant open field runs. Bergman
was injured early in practice by a
blow on the head which forced him
to retire for the day. He will be in
shape, however, for the clash with
Kalamazoo Saturday. The year
lings displayed unusual strength.

HAMBURGS ARE
COUNTING ON
CAME SUNDAY
Visitors Expect To RepIenish
Treasury With 90 Per Cent OF
the Total Gate Receipts.

The Hamburgs of Chicago are
expecting to walk out of Rock Is
land Sunday with the long end of
the gate receipts split, according
to predictions appearing in the
Chicago papers
The Journal says of the Ham
burgs: 1.-THE outlook for a win
ming team is the brightest the
Hamburgs have had in years, and
Coach Wolf feels confident when
the team meets Rock Island Sun
day, Oct. 5. they will carry away
the long end of the gate receipts.
Concerning abilities of some of
the players on the payroll of the
Hamburgs, the same paper reads:
Joe Snyder, halfback of Camp
Grant, has been signed to play in
the backfield of the Hamburg team.
This assures the Hamburgs of a
championship eleven for the com
ing season. They now claim to
have the fastest backfield in the
middlewest, Hammond included"
(Comment-Waitu until they run in
to the Independents backfeld)
with Snyder, the team has Jim
Deneen of c. A. A. fame, Robert
Peters, another track man; Frank
Nicholson, their former backfield
star, and F. Olson, a fullback from
Elgin, Ill, who can outpunt and
outthrow the best of them, They
also signed Ed Larson, late of the
108th supply train, who played end
on the alI-star border eleven. This
man has a world of speed, getting
down on punts, forward passes and
end runs. As a tackler, he has few
equals"
A recent acquisition to the Ham
burg squad is Cess of Washing
ton and Jefferson university, re-
puted as one of the fastest backs
in the game.

at the University of Illinois, may
also be seen in action with Sun

Fans packed Second avenue from
Seventeenth street west to the mid
die of the 1900 block yesterday
afternoon to watch The Argus
score board in the first game of
the 1919 world series at Cincin-
natl. Interest ran high in the
early part of the contest. but after
the Reds had driven across five
runs in the fourth and sewed up
the game, enthusiasm of the fans,
the majority of whom were Sox
rooters, was somewhat cooled.
The crowd stayed, however, until
the last out was made and the
Reds had officially been pronounc-
ed the victors in the first struggle
of the world series.

hard scrimmage yesterday on a
muddy field, neither team showing
marked superiority. The back
fields included Davy, Sundt. ia

with Matchette, Perrin. Gould and

lines.

Paul Meyers, captain and end in

flank man is in excellent physical
condition, but will need some time

SHOWN Yesterday, when several
thousand dollars changed hands.
Crowds gathered at every place
where returns of the game were
received, and before game time it
was an even money bet. The Sox
fans would not offer odds, and
finally the Cincinnati money began
to show. When the batteries were
announced the betting began and
did not stop until the Reds put the
game on ice with those five runs
in the fourth inning.

At the Hotel Morrison, where
returns were received in the ball
room, wagering was brisk an hour
before the game. When the count
was knOtted in the second inning
Cincinnati fan covered a $4,000
Sox wager, while several bets of
smaller sums were made.
In the stockyards district a lot
Of money was won on the Reds.
According to a well known gam

Ticket brokers who are handling
ducats for the Chicago end of the
series were besieged with requests
yesterday, but the demand still ex-

tickets still remains the same,
800 for a box seat for three days
and $50 to $50 for a grand stand
seat for the same number of
games.
Should the Reds win today's
game it is expected the brokers
will have to come down in their
