points scored, with 133 against so

Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan

Field goals seemed to be the favor

heavier elevens Saturday.
y review of the battles indicates
the closeness of several of the games
Chicago was saved a defeat by Ohio
State through d drop kick 80 seconds
before the final whistle. Michigan
pushed Wisconsin out of the race 81
to through last minute passes and
heavy line bucking. Iowa won over
Minnesota Is to through field goals,
in the last period. Northwestern de-
feated the Michigan Aggies 13 to Q, with
the first periods looking doubtful.
If Illinois succeeds in tossing Iowa
out of the race next Saturday, its

be excellent. 1t need then only hold

clashes, the experts say.

Judge the Better Hitter.
Judge played a fine part in the

he showed margin of superiority on
the offense. The figures:

Babe Ruth probably sized up the
sentiment of a majority of the play

said. IT'S generally admitted-at
least on our club-that Judge has
been one of Washington's three
strongest players this season"
That being the case, Joe contributed
heavily toward taking the American
League pennant to Washington,
proving his value beyond a doubt.
And he also played "a big part in
bringing home the world champion
ship.

Christy Mathewson chose Fournier
for his all-American team because of
his hitting, but the averages show
that he only had a nine-point margin
over the Giant. The players vote in
dicateS that they consider the latters $
superiority in taking care of the first
base assignment and his great throw
ing arm-one of the best in the busi-
ness, making him invaluable as a
relay and cutoff man-more than Off
set his slight disadvantage at the
bat. They do not forget, either, that
kelly's bat broke up many game
for the Giants the past season, or his
feat of three home runs in single
game.
Kelly Quite Il S1ugger.
Kelly's record as a slugger, in fact
does not compare unfaVorahly with
that of Fournier. Here are the figures
for the two of them:

These show that although the Giant
played in eleven less games than the
brooklyn star the latter scored only
two more runs, made only two more
hits and batted out but six more
homo runs then he did. McGraW
picked Kelly for his all-American
team.
While Judge got less than half the
votes cast in the American Leauge, his
lead over Blue, his nearest competitor,
was convincing. Those who placed

PAIR OF NOTRE DAME
STARS NOW ARE OUT

NEW YORK. October 27.-Quarter-
back Harry Stuhldreher of the Notre
Dame foot ball eleven injured his
shoulder in the game with Princeton
and will be out of the Georgia Tech
and Wisconsin games, Coach knute
Rockne said.
StuhIdreher generally was regard
ed as a "Rockne on the field in di-
recting the attack of the Hoosier
team.
With Capt Adam Walsh out Of the
lineup with a broken hand the In
diana eleven will be without it's two
biggest cogs until the important
clash with Nebraska.
No arrangements for Notre Dame
Princeton game in 1925 have been
made, Rockne said.
Negotiations with Pennsylvania for
a home and-home series which would
bring the Hoosiers to Philadelphia in
1925 and the Qlakers to Chicago in
1926 had not been completed, Rockne
also stated.
Western alumni Of Notre Dame and
foot ball lovers in Chicago are said
to be anxious to make the second
Eastern opponent of Notre Dame
school willing to agree to the home
and-home arrangements. The Army
classic is now played on neutral
ground.

Sisler will continue to play first for
the Browns until he is put on the
fritz. He is not the first baseman that
he was before his eyes were afflicted,
but probably much better first
baSeman than he should be expected
to be, considering what befell him.
Bottomley will play first for the
,other ST. Louis club. There are teams
that would like to get Bottomley. If
they do they will take away one of
the best assets of the Cards.
The Chicago Cubs have Cotter play
ing first and they have Grimes on
their list But they are not likely
to win a pennant with either of them.
The Sox have Sheely, who is as good
as a man can be who is crippled
and Handicapped, but he isn't Judge
or Pipp.
Cobb Has Two Good Ones.
Detroit has two of the best first
basemen in the business in Blue and
Neun. The latter first-based for St.
Paul this year. He probably will be
little stage-Shy when he first
breaks into the big league game, but
as he stands he is an investment for
any ball club.
Cleveland has Burns and knode.
The latter played first for Birming
ham last year, and whether he batted
hard enough to warrant big league
job is a question. Burns seemed to
be the man who could fit in best
for the team prior to the beginning
of 1924, but with Burns and Stephen
son on one side of the infield Cleve-
land never had a barrier that was
hitproof.
Cincinnati has no first baseman.
There is team that is in real want
and it will want lot before the
season of 1925 is over.
Pittsburgh has Grimm. When
Grimm plays ball he plays it as well
as anybody on first base. When he
doesn't he is like any prodigal with
a nose for veal.
Athletics Well Fixed.
The Phillies will need a first baser
Holke is pretty well tagged out. The
Athletics have Hauser, a first baser
who is likely to be one of the best
in the world if the remainder of the
