he forgot about Striped Chipmunk.
Could he have been mistaken No
there it was again. There certainly
was some one moving down in Jimmy
Skunk's house. Peters eyes opened
very wide and he stretched little

were all so fat that they toddled when

about even those things you think you
know all about.
When Striped Chipmunk left him to
return to his house somewhere under
the old stone wall to spend the rest of
the winter Peter hoped back to his
hiding place in the old wall down in
the far corner of the Old Orchard.
For some time he sat there thinking
of Striped Chipmunk and his way Of
spending the winter.

Peter. rather wistfully. But think
of all the fun and excitement h.

now there was no wistfulness.

look over to Jimmy Skunk's house be-
tween the roots of an old apple tree.

LEADS BATTLE
OF The LINKS
BOSTON Man Eliminates George Won
Elm, Trans Mississippi
Champ.

ST. Louis, Mo, Sept. 21.-(By the
I Associated Press) = The second
battle of the links was waged over
! the field of the st. Louis Country
club today with a certainty that
half of the gallant army Of golfers
would be extinguished at the end
of Sc holes of play for the national
amateur golf championship, now
held by Chick Evans of Chicago
who, in defending his crown, will
meet Richard Bockenkamp of st.
Louis
The skirmish for the title was
Fled by the Boston "Siggun" Jesse
l.. Ford. who, after qualifying with
a good score, eliminated George Won
Elm of Salt Lake, measured drives
with Dewey Weber of Chicago,
conqueror of Roger Lord of St.
Louis in the first round.
Next in the battle array were
Francis Ouimet of Boston, who has
won in both national and interna-
tional competition, and H. R. Jones'
ton of St. Paul, who shoots longer
ball than Guilford at times.
Cuimet overcame Max Marston
in a gruelling contest yesterday, in
which the Philadelphia fought TO
the 35th green before surrender
ing, 2 to l, while the Minnesota
champion drove Albert Beckel of
Chicago from the field at the same
point. after putting him to route
at the 18th hole by up.
The first international contest
today was between T D. Armour,
Scotland, who overcame Lee Steil,
Seattle, in the first round, and 3,
after a gruelling struggle, and no
less a fighter than Bob Gardner of
Chicago, who has won the title
twice.
R. f. Knepper of Sioux City and
Ben Stein of Seattle met in another
match of skill after the Iowa cham
pion had ousted Joe Wells of
Wheeling, and 3, and Stein had
out-mashied Russell Smith of Port
land. and s.
Knepper has lost the links in 20
and Stein in - since the tourney
began. The International tourney
involved Willie Hunter. British
champion, and James Manion, a ST

terday out-mashied John Simpson
of Indianapolis.
Last on the list was Bobby Jones
of Atlanta and o. F. Willing. Port

first round used II shots for IS

REAL ARGUMENT
Coach Kfmmel Puts Men Through
Long Tuss1esWith the Signals
Yesterday.
BY PIGSKTy PETE.

After resting Monday, because OF
weather conditions, the high school
football squad went at practice
with renewed vigor yesterday after
noon, in preparation for the game
with Alexis at Douglas park Sat
urday afternoon. Coach Kimmel
cautioned his charges against I'M
estimating the Alexis lads. He
anticipates considerable opposition
from the small school, because t
is usually represented by a husky
bunch of farmer lads.
Yesterdays workout was devot-
ed almost entirely to signal drill.
Mastery of plays is considered all
important. Scrimmage was expect
ed to be the order for today and
tomorrow, with a light practice
Friday afternoon to taper off the
rough edges of the team play.
The problem of developing a re
liable punter has presented itself.
Crompton, a player who made his
initial appearance yesterday, dis
played a certain knack at the kick
ing game and considerable atten-
ton will be given to him. Lamp
is getting off his punts in fair man
ner but his kicking leg is causing
him trouble II the member rounds
into shape, he will probably draw
the regular assignment. Still, it is
doubtful if Lamp can get into the
coming game. and the same is true
of Pannell, last years end. KIM |
mel has no intentions of sending
either man into the fray unless he |
is fully recovered from injuries. |
A setback might put both out for
the season.
In event Pannell does not play, !
the wing positions will probably |
fall to Anderson and Chambers, |
both of whom have been working /
hard for the favor of the coach !
Charlie Hunter continues TO dis F.,
rlay ability in the backfield. Each '
day is bringing him more forcibly .
to the front and the chances are he
will hold down regular berth.
Captain Howard DOMAIN is work !
ing like trojan at the center posi- !
ton. He distinguished himself in
the alumni tilt last Saturday.
Much gloom is emanating from
the Davenport camn, where follow
ers of the Red and Blue see moth
ing but prospects of losing team
this fall. 1t is the first time in
years that Davenport has not be-
gun the season fayorabIy
This is not true of Moline. The
Swedetown fans feel that the for
tunes OF their team are due to turn |
this fall. Already they are antici- !
pating victories over Rock Island I
and Davenport. /
However, it is too early yet for !
reliable forecast. Rock Island will /,
fight to retain the tri-city Iaurels
won last year The battle with Mo-
line undoubtedly will be close.

Charlie Whitley" Glazner of the
Pittsburgh Pirates is one of the
! hurting finds of the year.
Also he is one of the very few
rookie pitchers who have made good
this season in the big show
Glazner ranks third on the Pirate
staff in games won, yielding place
only to the veterans, Adams and
Cooper.
He's modest and retiring
when he goes on the mound. Then
he possesses all the steadiness of
an old-timer.
Glazner attributes most of his
success to his unique style of pitch
ing He uses three totally differ
ent deliveries, underhand, sidearm
and overland. And it's a wise bat
ter who can figure out what's COM
ing when the ball is being deliv-
cred from every angle.
Il learned to pitch both over
hand and underhand when 1 was
with Birmingham in the minors"
says Charlie. It's great help.
Il can throw a curve or slow
ball from either overland or under
meath, and by mixing in few fast
ones with the sidearm, it sort of
keeps the batters guessing.
"Of course the underhand ball is
the hardest TO control, but l work
ed on it until l have it down pat.

YANKS Benefit
BY RETURN OF
HARRY HARPER
SOuthpaw Doing for New York
What Mails Accomplished for
Cleveland Last Year.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 21.-Last year a
left-handed Moses went to Cleve-
land and led the Indians to a pen
nant.
This year it seems that another
southpaw might be able to guide
the footsteps of the New York
Yanks out of the darkness in which
they long have been f1oundering.
Laughing Harry Harper, who
drew laughs from the wise ones
when Miller Higgins picked him
off the chute last winter is playing
the role of Buster Mills, the
Cleveland savior of 1920.
Harper, with a broken finger sus-
tanned early in the season, polish
ed a seat in the dugout until a few
weeks ago when Higgins had to
use him in a pinch.
He's working regularly now and
turning in games regularly.
The smiling southpaw has not
only turned in his last four games
for the New Workers, but has
shown impressive form in every
victory.
Yesterday Harper went in and
trounced the Tigers in workman
like fashion. putting the Yankees
back in first place. Last winter
when Higgins cleared his roster of
lefthanders his theory was criti-
cized, as a portsider is considered
a necessary part of every big
leagues equipment Higgins said
he didn't need a left-hander but he
is needing Harper badly now and
the veteran is delivering.
Babe Ruth, another southpaw of
ability. warmed up yesterday for a
half hour with Hoffman. Higgins
perhaps may call upon the swat
king to do little mound work in
the last hard mile.
The Yankees are again holding a
slight lead with the help of the
trusty Boston Red Sox, who knock
ed of the Indians with a late railv.
when 1t looked all against them.

CORNELL COLLEGE
POINTING TOWARD
SEASONS OPENER

Mount Vernon, Iowa, Sept. 21.-
Heavy scrimmaging, skull prac-
tice, and signal drill will consti-
tute the football program at Ash
park this week in preparation for
the final polishing-up process be-
fore the opening game here with
Upper Iowa university a week from
next Saturday. Rain or shine, no
effort will be spared in developing
a well oiled machine to meet the
invasion of the Fayette peacocks.
Because of the scarcity of ex-
perienced material it is a question
whether anything approaching a
polished" line will be developed
by Line-Coach Mash EN-" Morri-
son, but Purple followers who have
watched the new mentor work with
MS men feel that the 1921 forward
wall will contain the "fightinessed"
bunch of rush men that Cornell has
produced since 1907. However. the
coach is handicapped by the mex
perlence OF his candidates. 1t is
necessary to dwell unduly long on
the fundamentals of the game when
the former Harvard athlete is anxi-
Gus to delve into the finer points
OF line play.
AS soon as his candidates show
signs OF mastering the fundamen-
tails he will reward them with the
institution of a course in lad
Vanced" line methods, which will
relieve the monotony of fundamen-
tails, but the fundamentals must be
mastered first,
The varsity squad will be limited
to 40 men this week, while about
90 men are signed up for yearling
football. Among these hundred
mole-skin athletes are six letter
men, a number of good reserves,
1crmer high school stars from ali
parts of the, middle west, and 9th
ers who are making their first ac-
quaintance with the inflated oval.
All OF them are being kept terrific

BIG TEN TEAMS
WELL PROVIDED
WITH PUNTERS
Eight of Conference
Haze Men Above
Average.

Chicago. Sept. z1.-With all west
ern conference elevens in the midst
of strenuous training sessions,
eight of the ten teams now seem
assured of punters above the av-
erage. A man in the lineup who is
able to kick the ball is essential
TO the full development of any
team and coaches this year are
devoting special attention to their
punters.
Captain Aubrey Devine at Iowa
has been developed by Coach Jones
into one of the best punters in the
conference, while Captain Guy
Sundt of Wisconsin is one of the
most reliable kickers in the con-
ference, and invariably manages to
get the ball away when called on
to perform.
In Frank Steketee, Michigan has
one of the best distance punte-s
in the conference, while at Chi
cago both Bobby Cole and Milton
Romney are being developed by
Coach Stage.
McElwain and Patterson are the
two men on whom Northwestern
will rely TO get the ball away in a
hurry. while Indiana is we'll forti-
fed in Captain John Kyle, and
Stuart of Ohio State is said to give
promise of developing into a kick
er of ability.
Mart,neau is said to be kicking
IS yards in practice this season.
Illinois and Purdue have no ou--
standing men for this important
position but coaches at these in
5titutions are working hard to de-
yelop men of ability along these
ines.

frankie WEIGH, the Chicago light

about two pounds of weight. which
he demands that his opponent takes
off by the afternoon of the bout
Kid Alberts of Duluth is the man
the promoters want to pit against
WEIGH. Alberts insists on weigh
ing in at 140 at O'Clock, while
frankie says he has to do 1873 at
the same hour.
This demand has nettled Alberts
and his manager. who is WEIGH,
that he thinks he can dictate about
weight matters?' they want to
know. AS far as individual rec
ords are concerned. thew CLAIM, a
much more imposing one than the
Chicago boy.
What right has WEIGH to dictate
terms to us"' asked Louis H. Col
sop, Alberts' manager, in a letter to
local club officials this morning
Who has Welch ever defeated to
have the idea he can tell US what
figure Alberts must come in at? If
WEIGH is looking back over his past
record he seemingly forgets that
AIberts has fought more good bows
than the Chicago tribe ever heard
of. Merely because of his victory
over Al Van Ryan, WEIGH figures
mes top-notcher. AIberts turned
that trick twice with ease" con-
cluded the Duluth manager.
Gollop stated in his letter that
!3S pounds isn't difficult figure
Tor Alberts to make. He stated he
mas fought at 13S pounds frequent
ly and that Alberts was just as
good at 1873 as he was at 140. But
it's Just the idea of letting this fell
low dictate terms that gets nv
goat" opines Gollop.
Chick Rice. Welch's manager,
showed signs of weakening TO-DAY
in a long distance telephone con-
yersation. "Welch could whip AL
Derts II he weighed a ton" opined
Chick.
In the meantime white" Ross
signed contract was delivered at
legion headquarters this morning.
Ross meets frankie Lach, a Kansas
City lightweight. in the six-round
semi-windup. The Chicago boy is
in great condition and eager to get
on again in Davenport. He fought
Pete Mistel to a draw at Kewanee
Labor day, and is a favorite with
fans of that city.
Ross is boxing every day with
WEIGH and is improving rapidly.
He made big hit with local fans
the night he took Emmett .Sheehap
Of Rock Island on for a fancy trim
