OFFER TRIBUTE
To MATHEWSON,
IDOL OF FANS
Thousands Gather at Polo Grounds
Today to Witness Benefit
Contest.

Saranac Lake, n. Y, Sept. 30
Christy Mathewson, for Is years
the idol of baseball fans in Ameri-
ca, remained at Saranac Lake to-
day. while thousands of baseball
enthusiasts gathered at the Polo
grounds. New York city, scene of
many of Mathewson's triumphs in
baseball, to pay tribute to him.
Mathewson, one of the greatest
pitchers known to baseball, has
been here for more than a year,
fighting the greatest battle of his
life-that against tuberculosis. The
hero of championship races in the
National league and of worlds ser
les games too, was anxious to at
tend the testimonial to him, but he
was persuaded to remain here In
spirit, however, he was there.
Mathewson today is winning his
fight for life. A year ago last July
Mathewson came here in quest of
health. He was here only a short
He was in bed Is months. Today
Mathewson looks like the Mathew
son of old. He appears to be in
normal weight, and so greatly has
he improved in health that he is
permitted to take automobile rides
and short walks in the village.
Last month was perhaps one Of
the happiest in MatheWson's life.
On Aug. II he was Al years old.
And, he says, it was his happiest
birthday. He passed the day quiet
ly with Mrs. MathewsOn and their
son, Christy, Jr., and received mes
sages from all parts of the coun-
try, congratulating him on his long
uphill fight for health and wishing
him a speedy recovery.
Despite his long Illness. baseball
is still the subject closest to Math-
ewson's heart. He has followed
closely the pennant races in the
two big leagues and has often ex-
pressed desire to see the local
team in action, having become
greatly interested in the fortunes
of the Saranac Lake club this year.
Mathewson's brilliant pitching
helped the Giants to win the Ma
tional league pennants in 1904, 1905,
1911, 1912 and 1913. In the worlds
series of 1905 against the PhiIadel-
phia Americans, Mathewson pitch
ed three or the i've games played,
won all three and did not allow
Philadelphia to score in the q in
nings. a record unequalled in any
worlds series. The defeat of the
Giants in 1911 and 1913 by Phila-
delphia and in 1912 by the Boston
Red Sox was no fault of Mathew
son, indeed, as baseball experts de
clare that Mathewson pitched the
best ball of his career in the series
of 1912 only to be beaten by errors.

CHICAGO AND
Northwestern
HAS interest
Puppies Efforts to Comeback VIII
Be Eagerly Watched by Big
Crowd.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-With the
clash between Chicago and North
western furnishing the piece de re-
sistance, nine of the 10 football
teams in the western conference
will swing into action Saturday.
The go-Northwestern clash
will be the only game having any
result in the championship standing.
The other elevens in the confer
ence will take the gridiron against
minor colleges in what are regard
ed as practice games.
Michigan will open its season
with Mt Union at Ann Arbor, Wis
consin will go into action against
Lawrence at Madison, Purdue will
meet Wabash at Lafayette, while
Iowa will take on Knox at Iowa
City. Minnesota will open with
North Dakota at Minneapolis and
Ohio State will take on Ohio Yves
leyan at Columbus. Indiana will
take the field against Kalamazoo
college, thus giving Soach Stiehm a
second chance to test his eleven
before the important clash with
Harvard, Oct, 5.
Illinois will be the only idle
team in the conference. The Illini
will not open their season until
Oct. when South Dakota will be
the attraction at Urbana.
Although a bit stunned by the IN
expected defeat handed North
western last Saturday by Beloit,
the Purple coaches have been tax
ing hold this week in a determined
effort to mold a machine into shape
for the encounter with Chicago.
Coach Elmer McDevitt, his assist
ants, Elder, Putnam, SawteIle and
Ferguson, started work Monday to
correct the many fundamental err
rors their protegeS showed in the
Beloit contest. Following the ball,
holding to it when once the man
gets it, and vastly more punch in
offensive play have been some of
the principles the coaches have
been instiiling into the men.
McDevitt has been shaking up the
team all week There will be q
new lineup Saturday against Chi
cago. 1t is hoped that several of
the best men, now held ineligibly
by reason OF classroom obstacles.
will have been declared eligible be
fore the game MCElwain. Bud
Turner and one or two other per
formers would make a different
machine of Northwestern, the
coaches say. Henry Penfield, giant
lineman, probably will play Satur-
day, although his Wrenched knee
is far from well.

ALBERTS AND

CALL OF GONG
Both BottIers Conf
dent of Winning
Tonight.
TONIGHTS CARD.

FRANKIE Meich, chicago, VS..
Kid Aiberts, Duluth 10 rounds
at lao pounds.
Whitley Ross, Chicago, vs.
Frankie Leach, Kansas City;
six rounds ut $50 pounds.
Johnny Showers, Rock Is
land, VS.. Frank Raymond, DaE-
export; four rounds at 135
pounds.
Harry Condor, Rock Island,
VS.. Tony TauriellO, Buffalo;
four rounds at 12S pounds.
Kid Alberts declares himself in
excellent condition and ready to
give frankie WEIGH, the clever,
ard-hitting Chicago weller, an in
teresting session tonight at the
Davenport Armory. The boys will
box 10 rounds or less under the
auspices of the American Legion
of Davenport in the windup of a
program that promises to satisfy
the boxing fans who have been
anXiOusly awaiting the opening of
the fall and winter season.
Alberts has the appearance of a
real battler. q am told that WEIGH
is a good boxer with a good right
hand, ''he said this morning, when
questioned about the evenings
festivities. That does not worry
me, however, as I like to mix with
good boys. / am confident | can
take Welch's measure"
Alberts is rated as a tough, will
ing mixer at all times, who is not
afraid to take if he can give in
return. He is said to be dangerous
at all stages of a bout, no matter
what condition his opponent may
have him in. While skill is a sec
ondary matter with him, he never
theless is known to possess a fair
ly good defense that may cause
WEIGH considerable trouble in
penetrating.
Welch has a chance to tour the
east, but his manager, Chick"
Rice, insists upon him winning
over Alberts tonight. Rice has
plans for getting WEIGH in as a
preliminary to some of Tex Rick
ards shows at Madison Square
Garden. New York.
Other Bouts Attractive.
While the main event is drawing
the spotlight there is unusual in
terest in the semi-final between
Frank Leach, a Kansas City boy,
and white" Ross. Ross has
host of admirers in Davenport and
is second only to WEIGH in popu-
larity.
Two good prelims are also book
ed. In the opener Harry Condor
with Tony Tauriello, who halls
from Buffalo, n. Y The second
event on the card will bring
Johnny Showers and Frank Ray
mond together for four rounds.

~Fratx" POttoff, who was regard
ed pretty wen as q prospect for the
Independents, has left the team.
He quit without giving notice or
reason. A note left on the training
table at the clubhouse following
practice informed that he was leaV-
ing on the evening train for st
Louis In company with Bill Feur-
born, his pal.
The Independents couldn't use
Feurborn and it is expected that
Pottoff was upset thereby, because
he was particular buddy of the
former Northwestern end. His de-
parture leaves the fuIlback battle
to Eddie Duggan and Jerry Mans
field.
Mansfield was obliged to rest q
few days this week, due to an In
jury incurred last Sunday during
practice. A pain In his side caus-
ed considerable trouble, but it is
expected the hurt will not prove
serious. Captain CoughIin has been
impressed with Jerry's speed and
drive.
Waddy Kuehl, well known Dav-
exporter, is being tried out at half
back by Coach Bill Marshall of the
Detroit Tigers. Having been cut
loose from the Independents, Wad-
dy made haste to apply for a job
with the Detroiters when they ar
rived in Davenport last Sunday
