Football Pushes Baseball Out OF Sport Limelight
By JAMES MCLEAN

(By Leased Wire To The Age-HeraId) CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Almost over night football has monopolized sport 1 ing interest throughout. the middle west, and, save for the few short days l of the world series, will reign su- preme until the last fireplace post mortem Is held the night after the Turkey Day battles.
 Squads have taken the field at all Big Ten and Missouri Valley schools. and the real grind started the middle | of last week. Two weeks of whipping I the men into shape, perfecting each cog of the machine and tryouts for embryo stars, and then the prelim- mary clashes on September 29. Both conferences will open the season formally e week later, after the trial games have brought out the weak spots that must be filled.
 Iowa, Chicago, Minnesota and Wis consin loom on paper as the class of the big ten. Coach Yost can be de- pended upon to bring out team that fights for every inch, but right now Michigan prospects are not as bright as usual, for 10 letter men, seven of them mainstays of the 1922 eleven, were graduated last spring Ohio State, too, remains an unknown factor, for In all the early season dope radiating from conference campuses. not a whisper has been heard of Ohio State prospects.
 Led by Capt. Glenn Miller, halfback, 100 men have started work at Iowa. Locke and several others who made up that great team which last year journeyed east to settle the dispute among the Jones brothers to the dis advantage of Tad and his followers at Yale are gone, but In their stead Is crop of young stars who promise to do things equally as noteworthy.
 The team that fought the losing fight against Bill Ropers Tigers from Princeton is back on Coach Stagg's field here almost to a man. Stagg has only two berths to fill those vacated by Strohmeter quarterback, and Fletcher, left tackle. The job of find ing a field general is perplexins problem, and Stagg will probably se- lect Capt. Jim Pyott, the speedy hals, for the job. Mccarthy, Hurley Helle and Burgess of last years squad are bidders for the assignment, however.
 Jack Harris, Holmes and Taft led the string of backs on to the Badger field, and Coach Ryan wore a reassur- ing grin as he strode across the field Saturday to meet late arrivals who brought the experienced squad to more than 50 Ollie Alas, last year S captain, caused deep concern at Min neapolis when telegram announced he might not return, but Bill Spauld- ing has a promising string of 25 veterans at work.
 Harry Kipke, al1-American half back, heads the depleted team at Michigan. where the greatest job in building a new team is to find worthy successors for the ends, Goe- bel and the late Bernard Kirk. The Wolverines have the largest coach- ing staff of any middle west institu- tion on the job, however, ten men. including Yost, and a pair of trainers.
 An even 100 men are limbering up at Illinois. where the desire to se- cure revenge from Iowa has become a passion. John McMill&n, a great guard, heads the Illinois squad, while Bonl Petcoff. captain at Ohio State,

Papyrus ArriUes
 In New York On Aquitaniq Friday

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-No royal visitor. no guest of the United States ever landed as easily and as tenderly attended as the British race horse. Papyrus, will land on American soil when the huge liner. Aquitania, docks here, probably on Friday aft ternoon. The arrangements for the landing of Papyrus and his transpor- tation to the Cosden stables, the ar engagements to fumigate and brighten the stables thems selves, and the gem eral to-do over the comfort of the race horse were carried to grotesque extremes Wednesday.
 Joseph yNidener has a horse van such as Is used for the transportation of racing steeds from train to track, which the jockey clubs press depart ment described as "palatiap' In it's Wednesday evening bulletin.
 ''The beautiful French horse palace, which is the last word in horse comfort, will be at the Cunard pier awaiting it's precious burden when the Aquitania docks, the bull letin, said. "The entire side of the van Is removable and, being placed low to the ground, a horse runs no risk of injury in entering. It has accommodations for two horses with a place at their heads, for attendants. oPgA 0a IhhS iiCCh ilCb M sf71 PoN' e ASNN for a minute from his stable com panion and training pony, Bar Gold.
 "Through the courtesy of Sir Ash ley Sparks, the Cunard company Is having a special landing stage built so that the danger in disemparking will be reduced to a minimum. The stage will be so feet long and the drop will be one foot in five. Floor will be covered with mating, nailed down to prevent slipping and with nail cleats as an additional safe guard" &
 Two messages were received Wed nesday, one by cable from London announcing that Steve Donoghue, fla vorite chauffeur of Papyrus, has ob tained the permission of his employ CT. J. B.

Papyrus had not suffered in the rough weather fthe first few days and the seas were abating Wed nesday. the radio reported. Basil Jarvis and pr. Pride Jones, the vet erinary, who are accompanying the horse, said they were well pleased with his condition.

NATIONAL LEAGUE LEADERS AND REDS. HAVE AN OFF DAY

With a gap in the National league schedule affording the leading Giants and pursuing Reds an off day, ten- sion in the pennant race was re- faxed Wednesday.
 Another New York victory or a single Cincinnati defeat will dispel the Reds mathematical chance and will give the McGrawmen an op- portunity to get their third consecu- tive crack at the Yankees in the world series.
 The race, however, will not be de- cided for a day or two. perhaps, as the Giants will have another Idle day Thursday, when they will engages in an exhibition game with the Balti- more Orioles, winner of the Inter national league racef

Panther Stock Up, As First Game Of Season NearS

Optimism prevails on Sunshine Slopes. Out of a gulf of uncertainty and doubt, gradually but steadily, there has arisen feeling of con Gidence on the outcome of the present season at Birmingham Southern coll lege and today, just a few hours be- fore the starting signal of the open ing game the students are predicting not only a big success Saturday against Jacksonville State Normal at Redwood park, but also a highly sue cessful season. The game Saturday starts at 3 o'clock.
 Step by step as a new star was added to the ever-growing constella- ton that shines daily on the Panther practice field, the confidence of the students in the might of their team has increased until outright optimism has arisen from walls of woe at the outlook for the season.
 One of the newest additions is Dave Evans, hailed as one of the best guards that ever trod the Slopes. Big Dave" some 1S5 to 190 pounds of brawn and muscle, donned uniform Tuesday afternoon and got out with the squad to start his conditioning work. Although the outlook for one of the best lines in years at the school was bright from the outset still man of Evans calibre natural ly causes a big rise in Panther stock and his coming will mean stiffer competition for line berth.
 Then many of the new men who showed up not so favorably at the first have been coming strong and may win a berth on the varsity or push the winner hard.
 The backfield now shows promise of rounding out into one of the best in the past few years. Although the team, both line and backfield, will be made up of about 50 per cent new ma terial, the stock from which to select contains a good variety, which is ex- pected to produce some brilliant stars before many moons.
 The lineup that will go in Satur- day against the Jacksonville team cannot be doped on account of the arrival of former stars. Whether they will get into the lineup Saturday cannot be said. However. many play CTS will get a chance in the Normal game, provided the score permits the use of second string men.

Bulldog Is Ready For InUaSiion Of Mountain Friday

The Bulldog of Howard college is awaiting with barred fangs the inva- sion of the mountains of Tennessee, which begins Friday night when the Bulldogs leave for their football game with the Sewanee Tigers. The game will be played in the mountains Saturday afternoon, and will mark the resumption of athletic relations between the two schools after let up of several seasons.
 Coaches Cope and Dobbins have been sending their husky Bulldog squad through a strenous session dur ing the early part of the week, Tues day and Wednesday saw scrlmmages on Berry field, with the entire squad taking part. Thursday the varsity and freshmen teams will be put through a thorough signal drill, and Friday evening early will leave for Sewanee, "A
 While the Bulldog varsity is pre- pairing for it's take-off to Sewanee Friday afternoon. the Bullpups. Freshmen of Howard college, will be in Fayette, playing the Fayette county high school. With a heavy, power ful line, and a hard hitting back field, the Bullpups are excepted to give the Fayette gridders terrible struggle. Fayette always has cork ing good team. and the game With the Bullpups is expected to be blood curdling affair.
 The varsity squad that goes to Sewanee will probably consist of around 22 players, two full teams Coach Cope hasn't announced the squad that will go, nor has be given out his opening lineup, but dope points to practically the same team that defeated Marion last Saturday starting against the Tigers this week. -end
 The Bulldog backfield Is rounding to shape, with Gaylord, White ana Mccarthy recovering from minor in juries sustained in practice szand in the Marion game. Russell FTinkle- paugh has a bad side, but will pro bably be in shape to play against Sewanee. On the line, the Bulldogs are in good condition.
 The passing game has occupied considerable time on Berry field this week, for It's a considered foregone conclusion that Sewanee will resort to aerial play if it's running attack proves insufficient to batter the Bull dogs down.
 Just what the Bulldogs chances against Sewanee are, Howard doesn't know, but every man on Coach Cope's squad knows that everything must be thrown into the struggle, which is regarded as one of the most important on the menu.
