make up for what he lacks in weight
by having a speedy team. His men
will average about 1875 pounds. He is
doing some shifting this week to make
heavier line and develop fast back

scrimmage Monday evening, and the
first squad went thru the line of the
second string men easily. The final
score was A TO 7, for the first team.
Coach Ripple is giving his men les
sons in the fundamentals of the game.
He found some weak spots in the line
up Friday, when the Topeka Catholic
high school played the Oaklandites,

about ten minutes, filling the full
back position for the first squad.
Fifty men reported for practice

The men who are working out on
the eleven and who are to be relied
upon to defend the onslaughts of the

S. p. Gatz, of Mcpherson, are working
hard for this position, also.
H G.. Weber, of Dodge City, pro-

which Pittsburg is matched this year.
Nettles reports that the prospects for

line probably will average about 200

veloping the line, Coach Weede is
working the backfield into a fast

4CAN tHE GIANTS REPEAT?
American League Clubs Have Habit of
Winning World Series.

New York. Sept. 26.-American
league pennant winners have won six
teen of the world series played since
1905, and National league clubs have
taken seven.
Last year the Giants threw off a
jinx that had followed Greater New
York National league clubs in world
series since 1905 by defeating the
Yankees. Four times previously the
Giants had lost series tc. American
league champions and the Brooklyn
Nationals had been unsuccessful twice.
The Philadelphia Athletics hold the
record for the least number of runs
scored in a series. They counted but
thrice in the five-game series against
the Giants in 1905.

George Herman Ruth.

Introduction unnecessary. As well
known as the president of the United
States. Greatest slugger in the his
tory of baseball. The German Her
man an unnecessary appendage.
Known everywhere as Babe.
Career meteoric. Was an inmate
of a Baltimore orphanage in 1914 but
was picked up by Jack Dun for his
Baltimore Orioles as a left-hand
pitcher. Did so well that the Red Sox
snatched him up with Ernie Shore
and farmed him out for a short
stretch with Providence.
Was one of the best left handlers
in baseball from 1915 to 1918, when
he began to hit them SO far and wide
that he was shifted to the outfield
and first base when he wasn't work
ing in the box.
Broke the American League record
for home runs in 1919 by hitting
twentynine During the off season
he was sold to the Yanks for a re-
ported price of SIPS, 900. altho insiders
say the price was higher.
In 1920, his first season in New
York, he smote the unprecedented
number of fifty-four homers and last
year increased this to fifty-nine.
The Babe went transforming after
the 1921 series in defiance of Judge
ASeihoiHo anu OdoCOdlA law, anu VIII
Bob Meusel was suspended for the
first five weeks of the present play
ing season. This, and other suspen-
sions for unruly conduct on the field,
has hampered his efforts in the home
run line this year, but he has more
than held his own with the field since
his return to the game. Is said to be
the highest salaried player in base
ball. ----
John william Scott.
Right-hand pitcher with the New
York Giants by grace of pure chance.
Was with the Braves until the start
of the present season, when he was
traded to the Cincinnati Reds for
Kopf and Vanguard. Had a bad
shoulder and was turned loose by Pat
Moran. after Patricius had first
emitted a bleating squawk about the
deal.
Dropped out of sight until late in
the present season, when McGraw
picked him up on triar. Still with us.
Scott got his start with Macon in
the South Atlantic :eague in 1916,
was gobbled up by the Pittsburgh
Pirates before the end of the season
and was back with Macon before the
beginning of the next. He then
caught on with Nashville, winning
twelve and losing nine, and the Braves
purchased him. He broke even on
twelve starts in 1919, won only ten
out of thirty-one in 1920, and fifteen

A formidable squad of men are
wearing the moleskins at Bethel col
lege, Newton, this year. 1t is the first
season that the Newton school has
played football. 1t is not a member
of the Kansas conference, but will
play some games in the conference.
The training obtained on the football
field is considered good training for
the students.
Gillette. center; Olds, quarter. and
Captain Mather, end. the latter
senior and the other two sophomores
in Ottawa university, is all that Coach
E. r. Elbel has in the way of veterans
around which to build a team. He is
working largely with freshmen. and is
building for future teams.
South Dakota university has a man
who weighs 254 pounds and when he
reported for football practice none of
the equipment was large enough for
him. At a watermelon feed for the
men he was early declared champion
of the squad as a melon devourer. He
ate fourteen large melons. His name
is Chester Fat Nilsson.
With 1,400 enrolled in the Pittsburg
Manual Training Normal the school
now has started a campaign for d
stadium. The school has a good play
ing field now, but it is felt-that the
alumni and the friends OF the SchOOl
will get behind a move for a concrete
stadium. A committee consisting of
three members of the faculty and
three from the student body has been
chosen to work out the plan. Not
many more years will pass before
nearly all the schools in the Kansas
conference will have stadiums. Wash
burn college has been agitating this
plan for some little time, but no def
mite move has been taken. However,
it is being talked strongly among the
Washburn supporters as a step for the
school to take next year.
Despite the fact that the rumor has
been going the rounds that Kansas
university has a light squad on the
football field, a husky crew was seen
in action there against the Haskell
Indians and the second and third
teams of Kansas university.
The squad looks like it will weigh
close to the 1s0-pound mark. Sew
eral men in the lineup are close 20
the 200 mark. The men who made
good showing in the game were
KRUGER and McAdams at halves;
"Prexy" Wilson and son" Anderson
at quarter; Lonborg, woodruff and
Haley at center; Spurgeon and Burt at
full; Higgins, Davis, Cave and Nor
ton at guards, and Black, Griffin,
Boone and McLain at guards.

eralship Of very high order to beat
Him. In the campaign two years ago
Mr.. Harding polled 1.21S,215 votes and
won by 715,013. In the State contest
the same year Snyder. Republican can
didate for State Treasurer, polled
1,l49,245 votes and won by 663.000.
While the Republicans are con-
fronted with perpleXities most unusual
in party affairs in Pennsylvania the
Democrats do not appear to find much
comfort in the situation. They are, OF
course, most optimistic of their ulti-
mate chances for carrying the State
in November on the theory that the
Republican primaries will develop tre-
mendous opposition to both the Har-
ding and Sproul administrations. But
the Democrats of Pennsylvania, like
those in the majority of other States,
have neither leadership nor any issues
except those based upon criticism OF
the party in power both at Washing
ton and in Pennsylvania.
In the contests for the two Repub-
lican Senatorial nominations David A.
Reed Of Pittsburgh and Mr.. Pepper
seem to be assured of substantial ma
jorities. Representative William J..
Burke of Pittsburgh is opposing Mr..
Pepper and the American Legion is

paign Charge of Macarthur.

WASHINGTON, May II. - Representa-
tive Macarthur (Rep., Ore.). in letter
to Representative Hamilton Fish (Rep.,
n. W, copies OF which were received by
House members to-day. charged that Mr..
Fish had supplied data to be used
against him In his contest for renomina-
ton in the Third Oregon district.
Mr.. Macarthur said he was well
aware" that the New York Representa-
tive had supplied Maurice E. Crum-
packer. McArthur's opponent. with the
data for a newspaper article calling at
tention to his vote against the soldier
bonus bill and the minority report in the
Bergdoll case.
Mr. McArthur's letter is pure cam

tonight. "Mr. Crumpacker is a per-
sonal friend Of mine. He played with
me on the Harvard football team. and
he served in the army during the world

Legion's Fight on Pepper.

Senator Pepper, who has established
himself as commanding figure in the
upper house of the national Legisla-
ture, Is one of the most vigorous op-
ponents of the bonus raid. He de-
clared himself against !. before his
selection by Gov. Sproul and after he
had taken his seat.
The American Legion and other
bonus claimants have declared war
against Mr.. Pepper and undoubtedly
are trying to influence the Republican
voting mind in his State against him.
Instead of trimming his sails to catch
the favor of bonus claimants, how
ever, Mr.. Pepper in the speeches he
has made in the State has courageously
denounced the scheme to raid the pub
lie treasury. There is rather more
confidence that Mr.. Pepper will be
nominated by a handsome majority
than that Mr.. Pinchot will get through
by narrow margin.
National leaders, who have investi-
gated conditions in Pennsylvania and
brought the result of their inquiries
to Washington, describe the Repub-
lican situation as most complicated
and difficult to analyze. Mr.. Pinchot
is making real fight and is reported
to have recruited surprising amount
OF support among voters Of agricul-
tural and industrials sections remote
from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
where the backbone of the machine
support is lodged. He is making an
appeal to these elements, which also
display tendency to support Mr..
Pepper, though there is some opposi-
tion to the latter from the labor
groups.
