GREAT CROWDS
TO SEE. YANKS
AND SPEAKERS
Four Game Series Starting Tom0r.
row May Determine American
League Champ.
BY HENRY L, FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 22.-Sure of one
end of the big show, New York
Will start rehearsing worlds series
capers tomorrow.
Cleveland and the Yankees will
start four-day battle for the
American league pennant that will
have all the trimmings of the real
show.
The Yankee club owners and the
police also expect to handle a
crowd of 10000 at each game of
the series. Every reserved seat
has been sold for every game.
While the Yankees go into this
series to battle it out for the rag,
the Giants practically are +'in."
McGraw's men have seven more
games to play, three with the
Cards, two with the Phils and one
each with the Braves and the Rob-
ms.
Pittsburgh has IL more games,
two with the Robins, four with the
Pills and five with the Cards in st.
Louis.
If the Giants win five out of the
last seven, the Pirates will have to
win IL straight games to get a tie.
II the Giants win four out of the
seven the Pirates will have to win
IL in row to win. If the Giants
win only three the Pirates must
win 10 out of II.
With the American league it is
different The Yankees have a
lead of one point and the only sure
way for them to clinch the pen
nant is to win every one of their
remaining IL games.
Cleveland with only nine more
games on the schedule is a little
better off than the Yankees.
The series starting tomorrow
will be almost decisive if one of the
clubs sweep the series. An even
split, which is not improbable, will
bring the settlement of the argu-
ment into the very alst week of
the race according to the way they
are going now.
After the series with the Yanks,
Cleveland has the rest of the sched-
ule with the White Sox, while the
Yanks have to take on the tough
Browns and the Athletics.

SWEDBERGSEES
| A GOOD CHANCE
| FOR HIS>SQuAD
Needs Every Man for HrGTussie--
Two Rock Island Boys ON
HOosfer Team.

Realizing the strength OF the
Wabash college eleven, it could moi
be said that Augustaaa will. be the
winners of Saturdays contest, buf
If it is possible for me to take al
the men whom / have planned to
take, / think Augie has an even
chance with the Hoosier school
The above is a statement made by
Art Swedberg. football coach OF
Augustana college, relative to the
coming game with Wabash college,
which will be played Saturday at
Charlottesville, Ind.
Swedberg is planning to take Is
men on the trip, but eligibility rules
may be somewhat of drawback
to the Augie mentor. Although 1t
is too early in the season to make
up an eligibility list, for the pres
ent year, several members of this
years squad may be required to
remain at Rock Island due to un-
completed work of last semester.
However, the players in question
can take examinations covering
last years work, and, if passing
satisfactorily, will be eligible for
Saturdays contest.
Art is set upon winning from
Wabash. Although it makes no
material difference in the standing
so far as the l. l. A. conference is
concerned, in meeting Wabash
Augie will probably go up against
the hardest team on the years
schedule, and a victory over such
an eleven means a lot to the Rock
Island school. Two former Rock
Island players, one a member of
Swedberg's squad last year, will
probably play against Augustana.
Duffin, quarterback for the Luth-
eran school last year, and prob
ably the best punter in the con-
ference, is attending Wabash, and is
slated to get into the fracas, as is
Mi1stead, star guard for Rock Is
land high in 1888.
If the weather man thinks he,E
can stop practice at Augie with his
rain, he is badly mistaken, for
practice has been held regularly
every night, sometimes in a down.
pour. Yesterday Art sent his pro-
teges through one of the longest
workouts of the season. Half an
hour was devoted to signal drill,
and then a good hour was spent in
scrimmage. Much time has also
been given to open field running,
and some practice in drop kicking,
punting and placement kicking.
Gully Alsene viii not only be a
great asset to Angles backfeld,
but he is also a punter of some
reputation, getting away nicely
with so and 60 yard kicks. Art is
satisfied that his huskies are in the
best of condition TO meet the Wa
bash crew.
The team leaves Rock Island this
afternoon, spending the night
In Peoria, and then on to Craw-
fordsville- The team will be led to
the depot by the entire student
body, with the college band leading
the procession.
SWedberg is not ready to give the
lineup for Saturdays game, but it
VIII probably be as follows: Left
end, Swanson; left tackle, E. Peter
son or A l.. Larson; left guard.
Buelow; center, Wood; right guard
cornell; right tackle, C. Larson.
right end, Wilson; quarter. Rog
peterson; right half, Alsene: full
Lltug, Holland; left half, Norton
Other players who will probably
make the trip are Lincke, Solmon-
son, Fearce and RoSencranz.

S7EKETYE
BY ROY GROVE.

All over the country coaches are
working feverishly to groom their
entries for Sept. "a. the day on
which the barrier goes up on the
intercollegiate football race.
A glance over the field indicates
that although racing conditions will
be about the same as last season,
the entries as a whole will be much
faster.
Only a few minor changes have
been made in the rules, and most
colleges are recognizing the coach
es and staffs of last year.
Renovations in team material
are comparatively few, and with
the bulk of playing material of last
year back as seasoned veterans,
the game should be speedier.
The style of play will be largely
the same as that of last season: a
liberal amount of open running,
supported by tricks and accurate
passing.
Passing to Stay.
Forward passing seems to be nee
essary in rounding out a well-bal-
anced and effective offense, and
most effective when so designed
that the passes and running plays
are made to look alike This re-
quires the defensive to hesitate to
determine whether the play Is a
running play or a pass.

champion, and Bobby Jones of At

who has twice won the title, had
hard matches in both preceding
rounds, Clark Speirs of Seattle tax

Armour having him two down at

per. his opponent today, also had a
hard fight in the first round. al
though he eventually defeated Joe
Wells, Wheeling, and 3, but the
Iowa champion had an easy victory
yesterday when he oyercame Bon
Stein of Seattle, Z and 6. Knepper
has shot the court two times in 20,
In the remaining match Bobby
Jones started out to repel the in
vading British champion. who has
waded through Z. H. Bankard of
Chicago, and 5, and James Man
ion, st. Louis, 2 and 1. after being
barely even and sometimes down
to the pugnacious player Jones,
who has had it easy thus far, de-
feating Clarence Wolf of st. Louis,
10 and II, by virtue of a fine 70
yesterday and eliminating o. F..
Milling of Portland. Ore, s and 7.
Jones has also shot the course in
20 and Il. while Hunter has not
bettered II until yesterday when
he extended himself to defeat Man
ion and went out in "a, one under
par and came home at IS pace for
an Appropriated 70.
The Briton seems to have some
extra golf in reserve and is only
satisfying himself by keeping even
as easily as possible in order to
come forward with a better game
when his opponent becomes too
pressing. Evans and Knepper had
the same tactics, but
Johnson has had to work at top
speed to overcome Albert Beckel of
Chicago, 2 and 1, and TO down the
famous Ouimet, while Jones has
scored close to par most of the
time. with apparently no exertion.

A bright sun and poppy atmos-
phere proved ideal weather for the
aspiring Independents at Douglas
park yesterday afternoon For over
two hours, the candidates disported
themselves on the green under the
eyes of the capable Jimmie Conzel-
man and Sid Nichols. Majority OF
the players declare they are now in
good shape and are anxiously await
ing the initial scrimmage. Coach
Frank E Coughlin may put them
through some PAGES along that line
Saturday and Sunday.
An innovation in training meth
DDS was introduced yesterday in
the form of inanimate opponents.
Several gunny-sacks, filled with
sawdust, were lined up in scrim-
mage formation and the athletes
went at 'em hard and heavy. For
more than a half hour, Councilman
directed the team through signal
work emphasizing the interference,
heavily-laden sacks furnishing the
men with objects of their dives.
Following this strenuous session,
the forward pass came in for its
share of attention. With Gomez
man heaving the leather egg, mile
of ten attempts generally proved
successful Smith and Woenig did
the receiving. In accordance with
Coughlin'S orders, the long throw
has been on the taboo list The
team aims to develop the short pass,
which just clears the line of scrir
mage. to a high degree, as coaches
all over the country are recogniz-
ing this phase of the aerial attack
as the best in the long run. Goa

fore the contest, no time can be lost
in fitting himself for gruelling aft

mean much to the Independents
The team would immediately jump
into the class favored to win the ma
tional title and their appearance of
other cities of the football associa-
ton would be demanded. The pos

powerful incentive for every outfit

termination at every stage of the
