FOOTBALL FANS
CONCERNED IN
WHO LOST

AS the football season rolls along
the number Of upsets on the grid
iron increase. The football fan
used to scan the scores each week
to see which teams won. Now he
peruses the results to see what
prominent elevens were defeated
each week.
The forward pass has made 1t
possible for the smaller elevens to
match their wits with the larger
elevens. One good forward passer
in a small college more than
makes up for a squad Of thirty can
didates on a larger college campus
The best purpose the forward
pass has served has been to open
up the defense. Before the pass
the limited offensive program per-
mitted an anticipation of the point
Of attack and a concentration Of de-
fensive power was simple.
With the pass the defense must
necessarily spread out and the op-
portunities for skill in passing and
in offensive tactics Is increased.
The forward pass has become
more important than ever this
year. Coaches who have been for
ward pass shy have had the play
thrust upon them. They must use
1t to get anywhere. It has become
the most important weapon in the
game.

GLEASON s EXIT
due To MANY
CONDITIONS
Was on Most Friendly Terms
With Powers Behind
White Sox.
By HARRY NELLY.
written for CosmopOlitan news service.

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-"Why did
Pop Gleason resign as manager Of
he White Sox?"
That question has been asked so
many times during the past week
that an answer seems advisable.
Gleason's resignation was due to
what he himself might term "con-
ditions." He departed on friendly
terms with his former employer, c.
A. Comiskey, and with all officials
of the White Sox organization. He
was especially friendly with j.
Louis Comiskey, only son Of the
owner, and treasurer Of the COM
pany.
In days past when C.. A. Com
iskey was more active he was In
personal charge Of his baseball prop
erty. He saw every ball game and
he attended to the signing Of the
players.
But of recent years c. A. Com
iskey's health has been such that
he no longer sees the home games
of his club.
We never have heard Harry
Gardiner, secretary, or j. Louis
Comiskey, treasurer, utter q word
Oh CT1LlClSIn Oh Wilhelm GlSd6Ou'
He had their cooperation, to q
marked degree.
Along last August when Eddie
Collins had been out Of the game
for some time and when Red Fab
er's arm had failed him, murmurs
hogan to arise. ''If they had hunted
instead. Of hit, and rum" would be
mentioned frequently by the mon
who are close to Mr.. Comiskey.
HE ought to have taken the
pitcher out the inning before" was
another pet phrase.
OF course all these utterances
were directed, by inference, towards
the man who was issuing orders as
to how the game should be played
and that man was Pop" Gleason.
The Charley Robertson incident
was another that ranked. Gleason
sent him home from Detroit for not
following pitching orders. Judge
Lands entertained a kick from the
player who was under indefinite
suspension. It is said Robertson
charged Gleason was playing
favorites to his Robertscn's) detri-
nent. Gleason was summoned be-
fore the commissioner. The in
definite suspension was lifted and
the player returned to pitch good
balm spots.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 81
With the passing Of Glenn s.
Warner as coach of the PAN
theirs, the schedule is to be
lightened considerably, and
among those strong teams to
be replaced by weaker substi-
tutes is Syracuse. Last Satur-
day the Orange defeated Pitt
at New York by field goal,
the final score being 8 to 0.
Warner goes to Leland Stan
ford next year. He will be

Sutherland, now coaching La

Frank Chance Claims
Two Offers For
Next Season

LOS ANGELES, Oct. a.
Frank Chance, former manager
of the Boston Red Sox, has re-
turned home for the winter.
Chance says he has two PROPOSE
lions to lead major ball clubs in
1924, but is not willing to make
an announcement until later.
Chances offers are believed to
come from the Washington and
Chicago American League clubs.
Each has dismissed its manager.
It is thought by Chances friends
here that the Chicago club will
probably get him, as the Wash
ington club has a habit of chang
ing managers every season.

It became the great ambition Of
sandlot teams to beat the Mohawks.
In fact, Beat the Mohawk be-
came universal battle cry. The
various attempts to capture the
Mohawk crown stirred Interest in
sandlot football that never had
been there before.
By-and-by a formidable foe rose
from obscurity and flung a grim
challenge to the mighty Mohawks.
When the Mercury Athletic Club
stepped in the Mohawlxs' path 1t
was giant-meet-giant, for Mercury
had run up a string of victories
that left no doubt Of its worthiness
to challenge the Mohawk Club as an
equal.
Mercury and Mohawk met and
that day was memorable one.
1t was q scOreleSS battle, fought
hard and clearly from start to
finish. Hundreds stood In 3 cold
winter rain to see It through.
On this game is predicated the
great success of sandlot football
today. The Mercury Mohawk rivalry
became intense. Other teams came
forward as lesser rivals Of both.
Interest grew and grew, until, when
Mercury and Mohawk encountered
the second time, last year, they
attracted larger crowd than the
biggest local college game OF tho
season, Georgetown vs.. Lafayette.

At first it was sport. Now, saEd-

value Of victory is measured as
much by money as by glory. II not
more so. The sandlot champions
ship, now held by Mercury, is a
commercial asset that might be
appraised at thousands of dollars.
There is q vast difference Of
quality between college football
and the sandIOt variety. II is
such that q mediocre college
player Is q big star when per-
forming with sandlOtters. Coach
ing, physical training, experience,
make the college man superior
on the grid.
DR.. Butz, who organized the In
terror eleven, selected only former
college players, with one or two
exceptions.
With this team he marched forth
to conquer the lowly sandlotters,
who, having no eligibility rules,
could not argue over the Interior
teams status. 1t merely seemed
out Of place on the sandlots.
The Mohawk team accepted In
terior's challenge and took q beat

town University's greatest grid
ironers of recent years, now earn
ing considerable cash as a pro, was
rung in by Interior to do its punt
ing against the Mohawks. Ken
yon earned his pay for the day.
Us kicking was the deciding fac-
tor in Interiors victory.
Before meeting the Mohawks, In
terror played a scoreless game with
the Southern A. c.. but only nan OF
Interiors squad was present. Elk
actly twelve players were on mana
to face Southern, and during the
game one of these was 1ncapacl-
tated. With it's reserve strengt TN

WARM DISPUTE OVER GRAPE
Alabama Claims TO Be Ancestral Home
OF the scuppernonG. but Texas
Writer Denies II.
Isn't life wonderful !,

Here comes the Montgomery Adyer-
tlser charging that We are an lgnors
anus so far as the Scuppernong grape
Is concerned. and 1t claims Alabama
rs the ancestral home of that grape,
writes George NJ. Bailey In the ilous
ton Post. There Is In Manteo, Roam
oke Island, y. C.. a Seuppernong grape
arbor whose history Is known for more
than three hundred years. The grape
itself gets rs name from the Scupper-
nong river, the dividing line between the
counties Of Tyrrell and Dare. There
never was a Seuppernong grape In
Alabama until that domain ceased 70
be n part of Louisiana. aud after Eng
land had acquired II by conquest In
l763. Then the settlers from the Car
ollnas entered that country through
Georgia. bringing the Scuppernong
with them. We have seen some nice
Seuppernong arbors In Alabama,
which Is = fine state. but Alabama IL
not the ancestral home of the Soup
pernong. The grape is n native OF
North Carolina, and was cultivated
there by settlers early In the Seven
teenth century. A comparatively new
state like Alabama ought to be more
careful with It's claims In the presence
Of an ancient commonwealth that
boasts the earliest white settlers on
the North American continent.
