DELAWARE TEAM
IN HARD PRACTICE
Getting in Shape for the Football
Game With Ursinus Next
Saturday.
special Correspondence OF Every Evening

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Newark, Sept. 29.-Coach Shiplcy
used Betzmer, the husky former Perkio-
men athlete, at end on the Delaware
College varsity football squad in signal
practice yesterday afternoon. Although
Betzmer has always played guard or
tackle, it is possible that he will fit in well
at end and add strength to the team, as he
looks to be fast. Cole, who played on the
scrubs last year. has just returned TO coll
lege and he was used at guard on the
varsity.
The varsity, rs made up yesterday in
signal practice, was; Betzmer and Magaw,
ends; Holton and Repp, tackles; Mar
centre; McCaughan, quarter back: Har-
mer and Elliott, half backs, and Williams,
full back.
Aiken. a guard, who was in the infirm-
arv for several days with bad cold, is inn
proving and watched the practice ycster-
dav afternoon. Wells, another line man,
who plaved part of the Penn game, is
laid up with q boil. He had the boil on his
leg last Saturday and it was bruised during
the game and will now probably keep him
out OF the Ursinus game next Saturday.
Watson. the new backheld man, who was
used for time against Penn, has not re-
ported for practice this week and no one,
as far as can be learned, has seen him
around the college since Saturdays game
He came to Delaware from Dean Academy
The two scrub teams had another
scrimmagc yesterday afternoon. Young
'Doc" Steel who was the individual star
in the Penn game, continues TO improve IN
his playing. He made substantial gains
every time he was given the ball yesterday
and seems to be the hardest back on the
Delaware squad to stop. He is fast, an ex-
cellent open field runner and always
squirms through the opposing line for
gains. With more experience Steel shows
every indication Of becoming star and
those who have watched his work predict
that he viii have regular backfeld berth
on the varsity before the season is much
older

today by several members of the
White Sox, who have not been in

One player who refused 10 allow his
name TO be used, made the following
statement:
When we started on our last eastern
trip we had every reason to believe we
would win the pennant. Suddenly Will
lams and Cicotte seemed 10 60 bad wi th-
out any reason Some Of W talked il over
and agreed il looked like they were groov-

Then Jackson, Felsch and Risberu
began dumping the ball 10 the iniield

a chance to get runs.
''We thought NJ first they might just be
in batting slump. But when sorno of US
compared notes regarding the pitching an d
hitting we became more than suspicious
1T may ne well be stated that some of us
believe ever since the last worlds series
that we were sold by Clcotte and others.
When the same men we suspected began
10 60 bad on the last eastern trip we de-
out. However, wei have never been able to
prove this.

New York, Sept. 20 Following the
announcement from Chicago yesterday
that Owner Charles A. Comiskey had
suspended two star pitchers, two regular
infelders, his two leading outfielders and
one utility player, Colonels Jacob Rupert
and T. l.. Huston, owners OF the New \ ork
Club, put at Comiskey's disposal the
entire New York American League Club.
Ii is not likely, however that the offer
will be accepted The reason advanced
for the unusual offer is that such grave
and unforeseen emergency requires an
unusual remedy An American League
rule prevents the transfer of player from
one club to another after July without the
asking of waivers, which would give any
