SENNEFF CUTS
SQUAD TO 40
Prospects at Moline High for Win.
ming Team Appear Particu-
larry Bright.

Coach Senneff of the Moline high
school grid team sharpened his
pruning knife to a keen edge over
the weekend and sliced his squad
of pigskin candidates in twain.
Forty survived the cut-l4 back
field men and &c forwards.
1t is probable that the mentor
will permit the squad to remain in
tact the entire season, which will
give him three fairly evenly bal
anced teams to work with. Six
games have already been sched-
uled for the second stringers, which
will serve as a great incentive for
them to continue their toll.
The Maroon and White mentor
estimates that the average weight
of the 40 remaining is about 1856
pounds. The first is, he believes,
when chosen, will hit over the l60
mark.
Senneif is well pleased with the
outlook. His candidates show more
class and possess far greater knowl.
edge OF the gridiron sport than any
that have reported since Semen
came here in 1920. 1t is a relief
for George S. to- have a number OF
men on the squad who know foot
ball. 1t means less drilling ON fun
damentals-the hardest part of
coaching-and more attention Ia
perfocting speed. kicking. passing
and new formations and plays.

New York, Sept. lS.-Nobody but
jack Dempsey's close friends and
his physician, of course, know how
near the world came to having a
one-armed champion. Jack had a
boil near the elbow and all the
poultices he put on only seemed to
make 1t worse. Last week he call
ed in physician and the medic
found the arm about twice its size.
In a septic condition. The doc
opened the abscess and-@applied
antiseptic fluid and then waited for
results. There were two results
possible. Either the Inflammation
would go away or else Jack would
have case of blood poisoning that
might have resulted in the loss of
his arm, if not his life.
But Jacks fine condition turned
the scale the right way and TO-DAY
ne IS all right and his arm will be
ready for use in a week, probably.
Just now he represents the inter
estlng spectacle of a champion
looking in every kdirection for an
opponent. UsualIk in the heavy
weight division particularly it has
been the other way.
! Remember how Peter Jackson
and Frank Slavin used to hound
John L. Sullivan? How Fitzsim.

the giant Jeffries growled at the
thought of fighting, not. because he
was afraid but because he disliked

did not care a whole lot about ring

New York, Sept. 1S.-Neither The
Browns nor the Yanks have won
the American league champion
ship yet. The race may extend to
the last two games OF the season
before It is decided. 1t will not 90
to the last game but the next to the
last may be necessary to deter
mine the winner.
The outcome Of the last game Of
the Yanks-Browns series at St.
Louis could not definitely decide
victory or defeat for the menace Of
future games, still remains for each
aggregation.
Two-thirds Of q tie in st. Louis
between the Yankees and the
Browns have been played. The 9TH
er third would have to be q tie
game Monday afternoon or no
game. In either event It is not very
likely that the last scheduled game
between them for this season would
ever be played. The first third OF
a tie was a victory for New York.
2 to /, on Saturday, Shawkey pitch
ing against Shocker. 1T Is all
over" shouted the New York fans
in glee when the last inning was
played. "Shocker has been trim
med and Shawkey has proved toe
much for the Browns. The rest
should be easy" Foolish fans. They
forgot that Shocker had been de-
feated before by the Yanks and
that Shawkey with his big round
arm curve was q greater menace to
St. Louis than any other Yankee
pitcher not excepting Bush. They
did not have much faith in Mays
because he has been a disappoint-
ment this year but they were GER
tain of Hoyt. The latter has been
a disappointment as we'll as Mays
Hoyt Disappoints.
Hoyt was pitched against the
Browns Sunday and the Yankees
lost. Jones relieved him. Evident.
ly Higgins had no intention of TAX
ing chances with others Of his
pitching staff. He is playing Bush
for the possible sure thing against
ST. Louis and Mays for relief. II
he fails on that he will go to De.
troit with a pitching staff that the
Detroits can hammer and they are

fans will see an entirely different
Maroon and White aggregation this
season than has been their lot the
last few years. A half dozen new
plays have already been given the
boys and more are coming every
day. The lads have acquired the
knack of learning the formations
quickly and are able to maneuyer
them surprisingly we'll after a few
attempts. Although Moline will
have to depend a great deal on
straight football, the boys will have
a repertoire OF trick plays mastered
that they can spring at opportune
occasions.
The boys are working fine" said
Mr.. Senneff this morning. "They
are learning as rapidly as any
bunch l have ever tutored. Unless
am badly fooled. we will have one
of the strongest elevens in the
state"

consecutive games in which he
