 One of the most fertile fields of activity amongst the ''pro' reformers has been the football gridiron. The hazardous character of the play has shocked the tender sensibilities of the P. R. who has made more than one effort to have this fine sport abolish ed. But football has withstood the reform attack successfully and has gone it's turbulent way remedying it's own evils when it detected them and brooking the outside interference.
 Football is rough, of course, and only real men can play 1t. That's the beauty of the sport. If there was not danger attached to var, and death lurking near every moment there wouldn't be any such thing as a hero and no fuss would be made over men in uniform. Athletic competition combines in g, dwarfed scale much of the qualities which constitute a hero on the battlefield. It is the constant gamble with danger and fatality which elevate both above the rocking chair circle and the front porch.

AUDACIOUS IS
 WINNER OF BIG
 JAMAICA RAGE

New York, Oct. g - Morton L. Schwartz owns a three-year-old of rare quality in Audacious. Pride and satisfaction could be seen on the faces of the two brothers, who are almost inseperable, when the hand some son of Star Shoot-Bold Girl raced to impressive victory in the Montague Handicap at Jamaica yes terday.
 Audacious was an added starter. He travelled all night on his way from Maryland, arrived yesterday morning at o'clock. and then. with practically no rest, took up 127 pounds in the afternoon and ran the six furlongs in the fast time of 1:12 2-5, beating Toto and Hannibal, among others
 Audacious is a vertiablet iron horse, and he ranks today third only to Sir Barton and Purchase among the best three-year-olds of the year. Little wonder the Schwartz brothers are so proud of their good horse. In pass ing, it is worthy of mention that the colt had never gone a mile and 8 quarter at top speed until last Satur- day-not even In his work. This made his performance behind Sil Barton the more creditable.

WHITE SOX IN CONFIDENT MOOD
 ON HOME LOT

Chicago, Oct, 9.---Again contender for the worlds baseball championship
 by virtue of their to 1 victory over
 the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, the
 Chicago White Sox returned to Com iskey Park today to make a deter mined effort to draw abreast the Reds
 in the matter of games won at to 1.
 Regarded as out of the race for pre-
 mier baseball honors when the Reds took the first two games of the series
 at the Ohio city and then two out of
 three here, the American League pen
 nant winners apparently found their long lost batting eyes, and the two
 victories they hammered out on sue cessive days on foreign soil brought a return of the pre-series confidence in the ultimate outcome to their support
 CTS here.
 Needing but the single game to bring his team the championship, Man ager Pat orMran was expected to send ''Hod'' Eller, spitban pitcher, to the
 mound today in the eighth game of the series. ElIer established the world
 series record of six successive strike
 outs when he held the White Sox to three hits, one a scratch, in the game | here Monday when Cincinnati won 1 to 0.
 Claude Lefty Williams, twice de- feated by the Reds but holding them to an aggregate two hits in the eight
 games, was expected to be Gleason's choice for mound duty. Williams's l pitching was of high order, but each l time he was opposed by pitchers be- 1 fore whom the White Sox heavy hit | ters virtually were powerIess.
 ~, l.. star left handler would pitch a come l back game as did Cicotte yesterday. Red" Faber, hero of 1917 worlds l series. was mentioned as White Sox pitching possibility today, but the consensus of opinion was that Will jams would be given the honor. Faber is said to have recovered form, though he was virtually on the re- tired list all the season.
 In their renewed hope that the White Sox yet would win the series local enthusiasts began to cast about for precedents to fortify them in l what some others regarded as a rather far fetched desire. It was found that the American League rep
 resentatives would have to establish yet another record in this record
 establishing series to be returned in " .
 club won four straight games when
 its opponents needed but a single
 contest. In 1907 Frank Chances
 old Chicago Cub machine took four
 straight from Detroit after the first game ended in a tie, the research di- vulged. And four sraight victories
 by the Boston Nationals over Phila-
 de1phia Americans and by the Boston
 Americans from the Philadelphia
 Nationals after the latter had taken
 the first game, also were found.
 Regarded as most reassuring in it's
 value as directly concerning the
 White Sox, however, was the record
 of the 1912 city series when the Sox,
 with their backs to the wall after the Cubs had taken three straight fell on
 their National League rivals and won
 the necessary four games. That
 showed it "can be done'' some said.

PETE HERMAN WILL
 GET S11.0O0 TO GO IN RING THANKSGIVING

For agreeing to defend his title in a twenty round bout at New Orleans on the night of Thanksgiving Day, Pete Herman, the legitimate bantam weight champion, is to receive a guarantee of $11, 900 with an option of accepting 50 per cent of the gross receipts Sam Goldman, manager of Herman, has announced the above terms which he has signed his battIer up for, and that Dominick Tortortch, the promoter, has the privilege of SC 1ecting whatever opponent he cares to put against Herman. Joe Lynch will be most likely be named to go against Herman Herman has been offered a. big incentive to go to Par- is and fight Charley Le Doux, the French champion, in twenty round bout for the worlds bantamweight title some time in December Gold man declares that he will accept the match, providing that Herman is successful in defending his title at .iNew Orleans on Thanksgiving Day night.

death every once in a while and foot ball eXacts a, greater number in pro- portion to the number engage and the length of the season. Baseball is not without casualties even in the professional leagues. I once witness ed man expire on a tennis court af- ter chasing the sphere to the back court Griswold who collapsed in the Yale shell following the Harvard race some years ago died shortly afterward as a direct result of the strain. Rob inson and Musgrave, two of America s leading jockeys, have met their fate under horses hoofs this season. Auto racing has had it's fatal accidents among the premier drivers of the world this year. Swimming and yachting, with cramps and squalls in the roles of the Grim Reaper, have added to the toll of death in sports this year.
 Yet you never hear of the profes- sional reformer attempting to stop baseball, tennis, rowing. horsera cling (because of the element of danger,) ) automobiling, yachting, swimming, and other sports of a gentler charac- ter which nevertheless exact their toll of human life in a quieter fashion.
 Football will undoubtedly receive some attention from the reformers af- ter the first widely advertised acci- dent. But it will still go on turning out genuine specimens of humanity for the simple reason that a major ity of the people like that kind bet ter than the third sex.

to prevent spectators from grabbing them,'
 This hardly seems to explain, how ever, the slight demand for reserved seats in the ticket sales places at the park and in the city. Nor does 1t make clear why so many unreserved seats bore no occupants.
 The fact seems to be that Cincin- nati ran out on it's baseball team just when it most needed sturdy support Whether the fans weakened after see ing their pennant winners nosed out yesterday on their home grounds, or whether it was just simply that their enthusiasm couldn't keep up it's furI- ous pace any more than the Reds could, Is unknown to deponent, who can only swear to one point in this connection, and that Is that the fans quit making pace for their team in it's race for the worlds championship and left 1t to struggle on as best it might.

BENNY vAlGER
 SENDS KILBANE
 DEFI IN FRENCH

New York, Oct. 9-Havfng chal- lenged Johnny KiIbane to champion ship combat in nearly every known dialect including Bowery Choctaw, and all without avail, Benny Valger, an industrious featherwei ght, has sent defiance to the Clevelander couched in what is declared to be the French language. Linguists to whom the Valger challenge was submitted declare that it is the most wonderful example of French phraseology they ever saw.
 There Is but one word in the com munication that Kilbane will under stand and that is "quinze," which is said to be Valger's estimate of Kill bane's fighting ability. This charac- terization may infuriate KiIbane to the point of meeting tho French boy in the ring. However, Valger will not be without a fight next Monday night at tn Sportsmen's Club in New ark, for he is to meet Frankie Brown 3n an eight-round bout Brown, who does not speak French, declares in choicest Harlem patois that he will stop the French flush in a punch

MURPHY OVEN
 PLACE: ON YALE
 VARSITY ELEvErI,.

New Haven, Oct. 9-Determined to secure more speed in the backfeld, the Yale coaches yesterday promoted Thorne Murphy and Herbert Kemp ton to the half back positions on the varsity. These two have been run ming the second and third elevens as quarter backs Their running, punt ing, and drop kicking have been phe- nomenal, and their selection is thought permanent, unless the coaches wish to hold them for reserve emergencies.
 Four different sets of backs have been tried without satisfactory re- suits. Kempton was regarded as the most brilliant interschoIastic player os the country when he was captain St Exeter, while Murphy, son of the late Mike Murphy, was an exception ally clever drop kicker as a fresh man three seasons ago.
 Jack French, freshman half back two years ago, was used at full back yesterday, but simply because of the temporary absence at Fecitations of Jim Braden. Murphy's handling of forward pass, tossed by Q1arter- back Chester Laroche, was the main factor in the only score of the after noon by the regulars. He Ieaped ahead 90 yards before he was brought down, but his run placed the varsity in position for the tally which followed, when F'rench's line plunge took the ball across from the five-yard line.
 Aside from the changes at half back, the return to the game of Captain Tim Callahan, after ten days absence, strengthened the eleven not ably. He has not been a scrimmage practice since he wore the uniform of the United States Navy in New port two seasons ago. He retired after the first half, John Acosta being transferred from guard to centre in his place.
 After a weeks absence Kirkpatrick, who is apparently the most promi- nent candidate for tackle on the squad, returned to the lineup, but was stationed at right instead of left tackle, Walker going to the other wing. Visiting coaches included Charley Comerford and Emil Jacques of the 1916 eleven.

HAMILTON AND
 CASEY STAR IN
 HARVARD DRILL

Cambridge, Oct 9-Minor bruises continued to keep several of Rar- yards regulars out of yesterdays scrimmage, in which the varsity made three touchdowns because of the fine running of Hamilton and Casey. The coaches had a chance to work the first string of substitutes to the limit. Ryan got a chance at left end, with Desmond back on the other wing. The latter, who is fast and an experienced player, looked good.
 Hubbard is being worried out to start against Colby on Saturday. He is a prominent candidate for left tackle. Eddie Casey did some more brilliant open field running.
 Capt. Murray directed things and did lot of running, but is now reconciled to staying on the side lines until he is absolutely all right Humphrey is making great feadway at quarter and his bunting is inn proving. He has shown also an abil- ity to make forward passes and in many respects is giving greater prom ise than other newcomers on the backheld. Hamilton was able to play again with the first team and made a lot of good gains.

Cincinnati, Oct, s-C3ncinnati picked out a nice day to stay away from the baseball park, Perhaps the Pittsburgh prices levied here had much to do with 1t, Possibly the fact that the original tickets for the series lost their last coupon Tuesday and isolated tickets had to be bought for Eoday's game had its Influence. Any how, there was such a slim attend Gnce that the spectators felt almost lonesome, There were bare patches, even in the bleachers, and the boxes and lower grand stands were poorly filled, while the upper stands and pa vtltons were nearly empty.
 Garry Hermann attributed the presence of only half a crowd to the necessity of selling all the tickets in such a brief time, 'It simply was inpossibIe,'' he said, "to distribute the tickets in the short time we had and take the precautions we adopted

 Major Frank Hague of Jersey City who was Chairman of the Committee which conducted the big boxing show at the Jersey City baseball grounds recently, at which Champion Kilbane and Frankie Burns fought the main bout and which drew the largest crowd that has ever witness ed a boxing show in this country sent for Burns and made him a pres ent of $500 aside from the big sum he received for boxing Kilbane.
 Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavy weight, who twice went the full dis tance with Champion Jack Demp- sey in ring bouts, will not be in shape to box for six months at least, or per haps more. Jack Reddy, Miske's manager, in letter to the writer says Miske is in a hospital, and it will be three months before he can con Sider training.
 While out West recently Joe Choynski stated that boxing could not improve, as there are only seven punches that can be used. 'I don't agree with him tkere,'' said Jim Cor bett, when he heard of it. You know there are Only so 1llaLly hlIlu Ol deliveries that a pitcher can use, too. It isn't the number, it's how he uses them and when he uses them. You see, all pitchers have the use of them the same as all fighters have the seven punches. It's all a question of how and when, do you get me?"
 In Joe Gans's time the world was full of hard hitters. Dal Hawkins had a left hand punch, delivered slowly at full arms length, with sudden twist of the wrist, that was like a blow with a hammer. He landed that on Cans in the first round of each of their two famous fights and each time knocked Cans flat and nearly out. Yet Cans each time came up, stalled, recovered, fought furiously and knocked out Hawkins. When Cans had been fighting only as long as Benny Leon ard has been fighting now he had
