Higgins used up four pitchers
and even if they are going good he
can't do that every day and beat out

The Indians had to go back into
the lead because they were on a

sisted upon losing.
The Tigers continue in New York
today while the Indians move over
TO Boston for a short visit. Joe
Bush and karr are out of the way
by the double bill yesterday. The
Indians may take a fall out of Sam

The start of the football trainfne

ton as to the danger involved. A
few will say the game should bt
abolished, or tempered, because o.
its threat TO life and limb. Others
the great majority, regard it witt
highest admiration, seeing in the
game only the physical, mental
moral training it produces.
No doubt about it, football is
rough. It is far removed from d
pink tea affair. Hard bumps and
knocks are the fundamentals by
which it appeals to the virile Amer
lean sport lover. But consider its
case as compared to baseball The
latter game brings more fatalities
and injuries every year, even in
comparison with the number of men
engaging, than does the fall pas
time. Still, the public never voices
objection to baseball on the grounds
that it is too rough.
However. football seems 70 have

defense is necessary. IT teaches
