KOPF SHADES SWEDE RISBERG
 0F WHITE SOX

Boston, Sept s4.-There are two ] positions in the indeId where the White Sux do not seem to have any thing on their rivals, the Cincinnati { Reds, aud one of these places is the
 shorJs,op's berth, where two men, not by any means the best in their
 respective leagues, hold forth.
 Here we find Ropf. tried out sea
 sou's aro by Connie Mack, opposed to Rlsberg, who came to Chicago from
 the coast a couple of seasons ago.
 Neither man will sot the world ahre
 but both must figure in the big
 clash,
 Eisberz, tried out year before last
 and with indifferent success at third base, has been shifted this season to shoTtstUp because by playing Weavs sr at shorrficld two positions were really
 weakened. So the "Swede," as Ris-
 berg has been niClznamed, has been
 playing regularly there even since the
 campaign was half over and there he
 will be found when the opening bell
 of the worlds championship game Is
 sounded.
 The White Sox shortstop Is a tall,
 rauEy fellow over 6 feet in height and
 weighing about 170 pounds, He Is
 sturdy iu the extreme and even his bttterest opponents claim that he has Eamcucss in abundance, He Is fairly
 fast on his feet upd at times very
 brilliant fielder. But his tendency
 10 make costly slipups at unfortunate times rather shades hls worth. He is always a dangerous batter and in
 spite of his batting average of only
 .226 Is held in dread by rival pitch
 CTS from the way he has of coming through in a pinch.
 Eorf served his apprenticeship with the Philadelphia Athletics and Is
 two or three years older than Ris-
 berg. He has had plenty of big league experience, Connie Mack tried him out of length but finally passed Eirn up. This season however, he has come back to Cincinnati and he must havc made good in the shipyard league emphat'caIy tels year as Pat Moran secured him from Brooklyn in l exchange for the veteran Lee Magee, at one time an exceedingly high priced ball player.
 Moran's coaching has undoubtedly done world of good for Kopf, In fact Moran believes that the ac- quisition of this one time discard really made the Cincinnati infield. He Is given the reputation of being q very tricky ball player, exceedingly adept at blocking off and putting the hall on the runner. He Is steady,
 far steadter than Risberg and a much better hitter according to the official averages which credit him with mark of .27O.

HARVARD SQUAD HAS
 LONG DRILL IN WHICH
 PLAYERS SHOW SKILL

Cambridge. Mass, Sept. 2.---Har- wards varsity football men got down
 to business yesterday, the coaches putting on the long delayed scrim- | mage against the second team. The i freshmen field was slippery and rain l fell during the scrimmage, but the varsity kept it's feet well and made good beginning.
 The scrubs were full of fight, but could offer nothing i the way of an 1 attack that was at all effective. They | got the ball on the varsity 15 yard line tonce, recovering after Lockwood had 1 blocked a kick. but could not gain a first down. This was the case all the remainder of the afternoon.
 1 The regulars were slow in starting. The first string rush line was used ] except that Clark was saved and his place at guard taken by Holmes. 1 PhiIbin was at centre, Woods at guard, Hubbard and Kane tackles and tically all of the other men got into the scrimmage eventually, and substi tutes were in the lineup when the regulars made two scores.
 Ralph Horween, the 1916 veteran, missed a shot at first goal after long run by Church. who placed the ball in position, but Horween later made one from the 35 yard line following a pretty run by Wharton. Just at the end of the scrimmage Salter, a var sity nneman, got the ball on an open field tumble on the scrubs 25 yard line and the regulars then scored in six plays. Ralph Horween carried the |, ball across the line Murray, Casey and B\nham did not get into the scrimmage. The first set of backs
 were Humphrey at quarter and Nel-
 son, Church and H. A. Horween. Nel- ] son looked particularly good.

Oskosh boxer was pretty well tired sent in a hard blow over the hear+, which put and end to McGoorty.
 Can anyone picture Beckett trying to wait out Jack Dempsey. It was shown in his bout with McGoorty that the Englishman can be hit, in fact Fred Fulton possesses a defense that would make Beckett look foolish and when man can be hit as easily as Beckett was hit he wouldn't have a ghost of a show in waiting out the present champion for one round. Willard's huge frame possessed of more strength and endurance than the average boxer and of a better de- fense then all the rest was practically knocked out in one round by Demp- sey so we cannot see where any of the present challengers would last more than two rounds at the most un- less Dempsey was feeling very good natured that evening

WHITE SOX OUT ID WIN NEEDED
 PENNANT GAME

Chicago, Sept. 24-With the open ing date for the worlds series set and all seats for three games at the Chi cago American League Park sold, the White Sox today were out to take the single game needed from St. Louis to validate the claim.
 Eddie Cicotte, White Sox pitching star, has been specially groomed to hurl a victory today and thus clinch the pennant. Of their five remaining games, Chicago needs but a single game.
 Filming their hopes to a victory to- day, White Sox partisans were anxi- ous for Detroit to beat Cleveland, should St. Louis trounce the league leaders. With four games more to play, a single loss would put Cleve- land out of the running, and give the pennant to Chicago.

YALE LOOKS GOOD IN PRACTICE.
 New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. 24.---A heavy wet field compelled. the Yale eleven to limit its work yesterday 70 light work. Coach Sharpe allowed the two scrub elevens to scrimmage for q short time under the personal direc- ton of Dr. Billy Bull. Despite the drizzling rain the scrimmage was wholly satisfactory.
 Signal drill was the program for the first and second teams, with some kicking and forward pass formations to vary 1t Lack, right half back, gave way to Donald Welles because of a slight leg injury. The scrub team has been passed over to pr. Bull entirely.
 He will drill in the formation which Yale's opponents are accustomed to use.
 The freshmen will report for prac- ftcs on Thursday.
