 While admitting tue greatness of Red" Grange of Illinois, it Is hard for the east to see how he could possibly be an improvement over Mahan of Harvard.
 A former eastern college grid star who has lived for two years in Chi cago, recently returned to Boston as his place of business.
 During his stay in the west he had seen Grange in action half dozen times. When asked 10 make com parison between Grange and Mahan, he did thusly:
 Both are triple-threat players but as vet Grange has not given any great proof of his ability as a kick CT. I understand this will be part of his work next season.
 "Mahan was a great punter and drcp-kicker and has the edge in that department.
 Grange is faster than Mahan and has q great stiff arm. However Mr. han ran higher and was harder to tackle.
 "Nahan was a great line-smasher for hts type and in that respect was superior Co Grange. who IS seldom used through the line.

SCOBEY WINS FIRST
GAME FROM P'WOOD

of the boys would pull a good one, but
it was mostly groans for the fans as
they saw balls go through under and
over the local players who seemed to /
be stage struck. To enunlerate the
misplays and poor team work dis
played would take too much space
and the score tells the tale, because
few safe hits were made of the Plen-
tywood pitcher.
Smithy performed as star
among the Plentywood ball tOssers
and it was he who first showed the
rest of the team that Risberg, the
Scobey $500 pitcher, was not su-
per man, when he cracked out clean
three-bagger In the fifth inning and
started a rally which brought in four
scores and the huge crowd of fans to
their feet In a yelling, hOOting mass.
