Duties Of Conference Chief Are Not

It developed today that one Of
the important matters to be settled
at the conference among Big Ten
athletic authorities in Chicago re-
lates to the function Of Major John
L. Grifith, who was recently ap-
pointed athletic commissioner OF
the western conference. There has
been a great deal of misunderstand-
ing as to the duties of this office
even, it seems, among those who
were concerned in its establish
ment.
The idea, it appears. is that Ma
jor Griffith will serve as the Lands
of conference athletics; that he will
stand as an arbiter Of disputes that
may arise among affiliated institu-
lions, and that in greater or less
degree he will possess penal au-
thority, is all wrong.
A prominent member Of the con-
ference informed the writer today
that Major Grifiith's duties will re-
late chiefly to investigation and re-
search. He will look into athletic
conditions among the Big Ten col
leges with the idea of making sug-
gestions as to how best athletics
may be kept clean and sound In
the future.
Whether this view as to the
somewhat limited scope OF the COM
missioner's activities is held by all
the members Of the conference ath-
Ietic committee, whether indeed
Major Griffith has this understand
ing, will probably be made clear at
the Chicago conference this week.
This season sees the Towering OF
southern football. Games that will
engage the fancy of Dixie fans and
arouse thrilled interest will follow
one another week after week. Some
of them will be valuable because OF
the line they give upon the ability
of the better elevens south OF Ma
son and Dixon's line and others
will be important on their own ac-
count. There will be migration
and invasion. Leading the north
l.ern attack stands Georgia. The
Athens athletes will descend upon
Chicago to engage Stages warriors

Harvard on Oct. q. Georgia Tech
will give the national capital an
idea what a tornado is like wher
she attempts to blow the Navy into

From the north will come Notre
Dame to Atlanta on Oct. %, and
Georgetown to Grant field Nov. IL

\COpyIl6uI, 1JSd, Wy Inv Al 6uS'I
New York, Sept. 13.-When the
eggs were opened today and drop
ped into the cups in several mil
lion homes its a cinch that the first
item in the paper that caught the
eye of the fans was the news Of
George Sisters deplorable. accident.
1t is generally futile to try to
prove that loss of one man on any
team could lose a baseball cham
pionship. If it ever could be said
true about any one it could be said
today about Sisler.
The Browns are fighting in the
last trenches. Sisler admittedly
has been the mainstay Of the team.
Many think Sisler will get the
award this year as the season S
most valuable player. Most i'm
portant in the discussion is the fact
that Shotten, a $50 hitter, may
have to substitute for this wonder
who has hit at least once in 80 sue
cessive games, and whose fielding
at first is only too well appreciated
by the hundreds of thousands OF
fans who have seen Sisler play.
However, it gets nowhere today
to attempt prophesies about the
American league race. 1t probably
will be settled definitely in that lit
tie bandbox of a ground near
Grand street, st. Louis, and the
Browns friends who are legion
throughout the west, say they will
fight all the harder now that Sisler
is out temporarily at least.
On Even Terms.
The Browns will almost meet the
Yanks on an even keel when the
east meets the west in the Ameri
can league on this last intersec-
tional series. The fray starts, to-
days figures show, with "a vic
tories for the Yanks and So defeats
against "a victories for the
Browns and IS defeats. If the
Yanks should lose two games
while the Browns were winning =
that is, lose. them right away-the
morale of st. Louis would go up q
per cent.
II it should happen the othe1
way around St. Louis would bt
forced to more of an uphill fight
The best thing that can be sait
about the Browns is that the,
have come back with spirit ant
grit when they have been chal
elnged this season.
If the Browns are beaten for tn,
pennant common sense will o.
should dictate to baseball owners
that they would better bolster VI
their non-balanced organization
| and correct the idea that prevails
everywhere that baseball cham
pionships are the result of a cap
italization and the outcome o
sport.
To date the New York National
have won the series from Brook
lyn, Philadelphia and Boston. Thei
victories over Brooklyn are IA t
8, Philadelphia IA to 6, two game
remaining to be played; Boston /
to 6, four games remaining to b
played.
They have tied Chicago with 1
victories SO the best that Chicag
can do is win three games. TIL
chances are the Giants will NOR

ten each from Pittsburgh, Cincin
natl and St. Louis and there is n
reason to believe that they will nc

Tommy Comiskey for the American
legion Sept. rs, has many unique
experiences in his ring career. The
Hammond globe trotter tells Of
putting ON the gloves with a copper
colored native of Pango Pango, an
American island in the Samoan
group of the South Seas.
It seems that one OF the inter-
prefers told the big fellow, who was
a giant in size, that Clabby was a
champion fighter. This brought on
a laugh and the boast that he
could take hold of Jimmy with one
hand, and with the other put him
on his knee and gently pat him to
sleep.
This led to a short pow wow, y
the upshot of which was the native
agreed to put on the gloves and
make good his bluff. Like all big
men the world over, confident OF
physical power, the big black
lunged for his smaller antagonist
when the bell changed. Jimmy side
stepped gracefully. The next rush
was met by a well directed right
hand wallop to the solar regions,
and the aboriginal Samson sank to
the mat with a look of injured in
nocence.

Jimmy Clabby has a lot of
titles tackled to his monicker,
but they all belong In Australia,
and the Hammond battler will
not be satisfied until he has met
and wrested the world crown

CHIN middleweight honors
eight years ago when the ref.
cree ruled him the loser in his
last bout with Mike Gibbons.
That was Jan. 81, 1915, in MIL
