 Get Tickets for Seventh Game of Big Series.

Cincinnati, Oct 8-Fightng with despite their four defeats. the White Sox will meet the Reds today in the seventh game of the worlds serles- The Reds and the 32,000 fans who witnessed yesterdays ten-inning bat tie felt confident that the contest would be the decisive one and that before night the men of Moran would be proclaimed baseball cham pions of the world
 Before the game started it was be- HeTed that Manager Gleason of the Sox would send Eddie Cicotte. rated as the master pitcher Of the AInerl- can League. to the mound to face the RedIegs Cicot1e tried twice to stop them and failed, but Gleason has every confidence that he can master the Reds if his arm is in condition It Is possible, however. that Big Biu'' James may be Gleason eleventh hour choice
 Supporters of the Reds believed that sim SalIee would be Manager Moran's pitching star. Salee caused the Reds second victory of the series and is declared to be ready to take his turn on the pitching mound again.
 All Cincinnati is getting ready to celebrate the expected victory of the Reds and there was wild rush today to get tickets for this afternoon s contest. The sale opened last night and hundreds stood in line for hours awaiting to purchase choice box and grandstand seats, If the So1 are victorious in today's contest the teams will have to return to Chicago for the eighth game Thursday, But admirers of the Reds are confident this trip will be unnecessary.
 That sixth game yesterday, going to ten innings and seeing the Reds beaten 5 to was full of thrills and cratic baseball. The Reds passed up several opportunities, something they have not been doing in the series The Reds made Il hits, the Sox made three errors, two men walked and one was hit-and out of these chances they collected only four runs.
 Despite the three errors, the Sox defense froze up whenever the Reds were getting dangerous. The SoE seemed to realize that humiliating de- feat faced them unless a brace was taken and the team played cham pionship ball in spots.

 FOOTBALL GAMES
 ID BE FREQUENT

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the football season is the unusual number of intersectionaI games on the schedule. The teams of the East will invade the West; the Corn Belt will send it's representatives to Eastern gridirons. while the sons of Dixie land will try their fortunes on the chalk lined field of the middle West and in New England. No fewer than fifteen intersectionaI strug- gIes which carry unusual interest are on the cards.
 Seven of these contests will be be- tween teams of the East and West six between the North and South and two between the South and West. The precedent of styling Pittsburgh a Western college is observed here. Needless to say in season where even the ordinary games are awaited with keen interest a special signif- canoe attaches to these intersectional games. \ good many colleges start anew with material untried. Others. like Pittsburgh. have strong founda- tionS for great eIevens.

CORNELL TEAM
 WEAK AGAINST
 FORWARD PASS

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct S-The Cornell football squad took advantage of sharp fall weather to undertake an ambitious afternoons work yester- day, the first and second teams bat ting on the varsity filed until dusk. The first team backs were used part of the time behand the second string line, and they gave the first string linemen and ends all sorts of trouble.
 Several changes were noted in the makeup of the teams. The most noticeable was at right half back, where Mackenzie, a, newcomer in the back field squad, was given a tryout, which, to the undergraduates who watched the practice, seemed success fuI. Mackenzie has heretofore play ed end, and his work as Q wing man looked fairly promising.
 Coach Rush, however, has decided that he would be more useful in the back field, and he gave him a chance. The recruit made several good gains and looks like a speedy, pIucky back. Shiverick was at quarter. Davies at left half, and ShuIer at full.
 Colvin and Reavis shifted positions at end for a time, and Wilson and Lechler, the latter recent find, also got a chance. Reuther played cen tre, while Horreu was also given a trial The latter is developing well after a bad start, caused by an in jury.
 One feature of CornelTs play that the coaches hope to strengthen be fore the Williams game Saturday is the defense against the forward pass. In the game against Oberlin the Ith- acans were frequently caught nap ping by the visiting teams passing

Disaster Faces Montana in Wake
 of Bad DrOuth

Disastrous conditions now obtain ing in the state of Montana are re- vealed in a survey of the Episcopal Diocese of the state just forwarded to the executive committee of the Church's Nationwide Campaign in New York.
 Drouth, unprecedented in it's ex- tent and effect, and forest fires per haps the most widespread on record are ravaging the wooded and the agricultural districts, according to the survey.
 Crops are practically a total loss. because of the drouth. The range is reported "burnt up" Satt1e men, the survey states, are shipping their stock out of Montana, a part to be fed in other states.
 The forest fires have been raging for two months. They have come dangerously near to several Montana cities and they are not yet entirely under control. So great has been the emergency that a special session of the legislature has been held to de- wise measures for relief
 The population of the state the survey shows, has been steadily de- creasing since 1916. The leakage from that year until the present time is estimated at 125,OOO There is hardly a city or town. according to the survey, in which the population is not fluid.
 Drouth, it is declared, is the prfn- cipa1 cause for this condition. The present dry spell is the third in three years, and the most disastrous. The war also is cited as a major factor in the decline of population.
 Because of these conditions ruined ranch families are emigrating and small farm trading centers are be- ing partially depopulated. Mean while, according to the survey, con- siderable anxiety is being felt among the bankers and merchants of the cities
 This condition, the survey states, can only be temporary. Emphasis is laid upon the need for extensive de- ve1opment of irrigation and of the natural resources in which the state is rich.

When Babe Ruth clfnched his world home run record with the long est swat in history during the closing series at the Polo Grounds, Harry F'razee, Red SoS manager, sprang to his feet and cried:
 'cNow, that just busts all the fig ures and I'm ready to quit For me the season is done. My only regret is that it did not happen in Boston. Think of it!'' he whooped, steaming up again. 'fTwenty-eight home runs in one season! The worlds rec ordI' etc.
 'fBut how about those twenty eight horners made by Joe Hornung back in the seventies?'' inquired Sam Crane with a straight face.
 'rNo. you don't! No, you don't!'' p1aintively cried the nagnate. Don't you try to dig up another one. This record they rung in about Williamson was phony- enough Don't you do that. San!-'

DISABLED VETS
 10 HAVE TUTORS AND C0UNSELORS

Washington, Oct. S-If a disabled man in training absents himself from his work, has sickness in his family or is i'll himself, or if he be- comes financially embarrassed or dis satisfied with his course, the Federal Board for Vocational Education pro- vides a way to help him in his diff culty. Personal counseIlors are se- lected at each center where disabled men are in training whose special function it is to be a real friend to those who need him. It is the en- deavor of the Board to prevent the relationship between it and the dis abled men from becoming mechan- ical, and these personal advisers are named with the idea Of keeping in mind the ambitions and hopes of these soldiers who have lost much physical strength through service Whatever offers the best promise for the ultimate success of the disabled man is arranged by the Board, where possible. For this reason the tutor ial method of training has been pro vided for some disabled soldiers. This is done both in institutions and in training on the job. It has been found especially helpful in increasing the effectiveness of correspondence courses.

CAPT. BELL IS MAIN HOPE OF
 PENNA. ELEVEN

Philadelphia, Oct. 8.---Coach Folwell of the University of Pennsylvania. football detail dressed himself in grid iron tags early yesterday afternoon and, after waiting some little time with other members of the coaching staff, rushed to the candidates room and asked if the men were going to take part in the practice or not. The enthusiasm which the coach imparted to his words inspired every man to step into the work in a hurry, and the muscIe-bruised bunch did not have an easy afternoon of it. The making of much-needed interference occupied the greater part of the time, each back-field man taking q turn both at spilling tacklers and carrying the leather. It was a successful session.
 Captain Bert Bell, the. popular pivot man, although somewhat bruised as a result of the contest on Saturday. was in the signal drill with his Varsity. He also spent some time booting the ball from the field. FolweIl and all the other cotches know that they can not afford to have Bell out of any of the games, for his presence means 50 per cent. of the strength on the offen- sive.
 While scrimmaging, the Varsity backfieId, made up of Rex Wray, Light, Derp, Bronner, was led by the first mentioned. The team, however, was subject to changes. As the line started, the Miller boys, Dieter, Little, Thomas, Lud Wray, and Maynard were on the chalk. F'olweu in the course of time put his second string backs behind the Varsity line. The scrubs held their opponents well. Without Bell in the scrimmaging the afternoons work was comma ra lively listless, though hard enough in its way

 EFFECTS OF VICTIMS
 OF SOPHIA FRIENDLY Y

That the suit begun by the Deep Sea Salvage Company against the money and other effects of victims of the Princess Sophia at Seattle is a friendly action started for the purpose of establishing what would be a reasonable salvage allowance, is the opinion of T. Triple, son iof the trustee appointed by the United States District Court at Se- attle whom he represents in AL aska, and others at Juneau who are familiar with the facts. Except by stipulation with each individual claimant the District Court is the only authority with power to de- termine what would be reasonable salvage In this instance the par ties are too numerous and too wide ly distributed to make individual contracts practicable. The suit, therefore, was necessary in order to get the matter settled and per- init the trustee to distribute he recovered property among the right ful owners.

HER FIRST SALARY WAS $f0 PER WEEK.

An interesting contribution to film lore is that fact that Peggy Hyland the pretty William Fox star, began her career just like that, because she began in London. It was called two pounds.
 She soon did better. of course. but it was not until motion pictures called her that she received "a great big salary" She often cites the differ ence to show girls aspiring to motion picture fame that starting at the bot tom of the ladder is by no means out of date.
 "The great trouble with many who start in pictures is that they expect to get bag full of gold the very first week. The ladder to success is not made of precious metals. It's just plain wood and gives off many painful splinters on the way up." Miss Hyland will be seen at the Orpheum tonight.
