Ted Nesser.
fright halfback, captain. (,

Probably the best known foot
ball player in the world is Ted
Nesser. He has been playing the
game for many years, and no less
an authority than Jim Thorpe
styled him the greatest backfield
player that he has ever seen. the
best secondary defense man and
the hardest in the game to stop.
His work is watched by college
coaches throughout the middle
west, and he will be best remem-
bered as the man who put an end
for all time the great playing Of
BILLY" Heston of Michigan, ae-
credited with being one of the best
halfbacks of all time. This play
occurred while Nesser was playing
with Massillon, and they went to
Chicago on e. large side bet to play
q team Of all-western college stars,
Heston being the star Of the COL
lege aggregation. In making one
of his famous end runs, Nesser, in
trying to stop the play, hit Heston
head-on. with the result that the
great Michigan player received in
juries that put an end to his grid
iron activities with, that play. An
other feature Of Nesser's play il
the fact that he has never been
penalized in a game. Among play
ers and coaches alike he is one of
the best liked players in the game.
A sturdy built player, he weighs
235 pounds, runs close to the
ground. hard to tackle and very
hard to stop. He, along with
Shoots, form the best part Of the
Panhandle scoring machine. He Is
captain of the eleven, serving for
the third time in this capacity, an
honor never accorded any other
player in the long history Of the

Minnesota,

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 1s.-The
Gophers began the last week OF
practice for the tussle with Michi-

the opinion Of the Minnesota root
ers, the game will be the biggest If
the season because of the ancient
rivalry between the two schools.
Williams sent his men through a
gruelling scrimmage yesterday aft
ernoon. There will be no letup un-
til the team leaves for Chicago We'd

Lafayette, Ind, Nov. 18.-Realiz-
ing that Its game next Saturday
with Notre Dame-the seasons
closing contest-will be as hard as
any on its 1919 schedule, Purdue
got down to work yesterday to
bolster up its defense and build up
a more effective oifense, hoping to
surprise the South Bend eleven.
The De PAW game was not much
of q strain on the Boilermakers and
they are all fit for a hard weeks
work in preparation for Notre
Dame. The Purdue team fears
Gipp, for last year he ran through
the Purdue defense for repeated
gains. This year the Purdue tine is
stronger and the ends are better.
On the other hand, the Purdue
backs have been improving steadily
since the early part of the season.

was q scrimmage between the

Boys Who Fight Will Meet
in Opening Show Here;
Thirty Rounds Of Thrills

Nate Isaacman, one of Harris
burgs cleverest lightweights, has
been added to the bill that is to be
presented by the Harrisburg Boxing
Association in the Chestnut Street
Auditorium Friday night of next
week, September 26. A match has
been arranged between Isaacman
and Young Shugrue, of Allentown.
The latter is a fighter who has been
connected with Charlie Ettinger's
stable for some time, and is regard
ed as a good youngster. The pair
will meet in one of the two prelimi-
nary bouts that are to be on the
card, and are scheduled to travel
over a six-round route.
For the semiwindup the associa-
ton has secured Jackie McCarron,
of Allentown, and Young Earring, Of
Reading. McCarron has appeared
here before, and his ability is known
to some of the local fans, but Earring
is more or less OF an unknown quail
ity, and his appearance will be
watched with interest. AS an add
ed feature, the organization officials
have decided to make the semi
windup an eight-round affair, which
will provide thirty rounds of fighting
for the show.

who is going to oppose Len Row
lands, the Milwaukee middleweight,
in the ten-round windup, captured
the middleweight championship
honors of the American Expedition
ary Forces by winning seven differ

WEST END PLAYS MARYSVLE EVENING ON LADGL WALLOPS WOLGA
CHAMPION TEAMS IN FORM
FOR FOURTH TITLE BATTLE
ON ISLAND THIS EVENING

West End, winners of the pennant
in the local league and holders of
the city title by virtue of their de-
feat of Reading, and Marysv1lle,
Dauphin-Perry League champs, VIII
lineup in the fourth game of their
championship series on the old H..A.
C. grounds in Island Park this
evening at 5.15. With the series tled
and both teams playing high grade
of ball, an attendance equal to the
record breaking crowd at last Sat
urday's game, is expected.
The silver loving cup, awarded
to the pennant winning team in the
Dauphin-Perry League, will be of
ficially presented to the Marysville
club before this afternoons gamel
The presentation speech will be
made by e. e. Knauss, of Harris
burg, president of the league, and
will be received by the Rev. Ralph
L. Hartman, of Marysville, an ardent
supporter of the MarySville team.
jazz Band Coming
Marysville may bring it's jazz band
with it for this afternoons affair,
but this arrangement has not detin-
itely been made. 1t had been eX-
pected to make the presentation at
Saturday afternoons melee, but
plans were changed only this morn
Ing ana SOIIlS OIL Tie
have been rather hasty.
For this afternoons affair, Kid
Stricken and the veteran Harry
Biever will be again sent to the
mound to face each other by Man
ager Householder, of West End, and
Manager Stees, of Marysville, re-
spectively. These moundsmen have
hurled every inning of the games al
ready played, both displaying high
class form. Honors thus far have
been practically even in every re-
spect, each moundsman winning one
game and tying the third.
Same Lineup
Little change is expected in the
Marysville lineup for the game.
With one exception, and that not
certain, the same contingent which
played an unusually peppery game
on the island on Saturday, will be
used to-day. Freddie Lightner
right fielder, is being bothered con-
siderably by his right ankle which
was broken in the earlier part of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-18

the season, and Manager Stees may
decide not to use him in to-day's s
game. Ellenberger, who has been
substituting in capable manner all
season, will be in uniform this after
noon for the first time in the series
and promises to break in the game
in one of the outfield positions.
Changes. too, will likely be made
in the lineup of the West End con-
tingent. Benny" Kline, in all prob
ability, will be selected as Stricken s
battery mate, replacing Paul Knight,
who is suffering with an injured
hand. Kline covered second base in
the second game of the series dur
ing the absence of Ike" McCord.
other than the substitution OF
Kline, no change is expected in the
West End lineup. Captain "Bilf'
Euker, shortstop, has been suffering
somewhat from his ankle which was
injured in last Saturdays game, but
is expected to get into to-day's game
In the event, however, that he is
unable to play, McCord will likely
be sent to short and Harry Bell to
second in McCord's place.

Cincinnati Fans Ready to
Back Team With Good Odds

Cincinnati, Sept. 18.-With the
pennant lashed securely to their flag
pole, Cincinnati fans can now have
the privilege for the first time in
history of doping their own chances
for the worlds championship. The
rabid Red fans believe their idols
will trim the White Sox. They are
betting that way at to 4. Slim
Sallee, veteran southpaw, will prob
ably be Pat Moran's selection for
the first contest. Pat not only fg-
ures him as one of the best of his
all-star pitching staff, but he is
banking on the experience of the
veteran to get him over any rough
places. Walter Reuther will likely
get the second call. He has led the
league most of the reason. Hod
Eller, the "no-hit" king, may alter
nate with the portside pair.

hour after the game that decided the
pennant fight had been placed yes
terday afternoon.
Messages of congratulation began

there was a procession of messen-
ger boys delivering kilograms of
congratulation. President August
Hermann received hundreds of
calls over the telephone and many
personal congratulations from Gin
cinnatians. and Manager Pat Moran
also was kept busy accepting felici-
tations.
Among those who sent kilograms
of congratulation to President Herr
mann were John ]. McGraw, vice.
president and manager of the New
York Nationals, the chief contenders
with the Reds all season for the
pennant; Charles A. Stoneham. pres
ident of the New York Nationals.
and Charles A. Comiskey, president
of the Chicago Americans, the team
the Reds will meet in the worlds
series games.
