Big Three Encounter

Bp United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The big
Three" football series starts next
Saturday with the opener between
Harvard and Princeton and, strange
to say, Harvard will enter a favorite.
Princeton hasn't much and Yale
nothing, while Harvard, after a hor-
rible start, is working into some
thing.

Dartmouth Misses
Oberlander

+ 7ARTMOUTH misses Ober-
lander, outstanding star
of last season. The de-
feats already suffered by Dart
mouth at the hands of Yale,
Harvard and Brown strikingly
call attention to Oberlander's
value.
Last season Harvard, Cor
nell and Chicago fell before
Dartmouth. Green victories
were largely the result of Ober-
lander's fine play.
However, the brilliant for
ward passing game that made
Dartmouth so dangerous last
season is missing this year.
Lane and McPhail still are in
the backfield as receivers, but
Dooley, a mighty fine passer,
appears to lack the precision
o. Oberlander. ~

If RUTH AND HORNSBY
HOLD OUT-WHAT THEN?
Third Major League Threat Would Have Chance to Grow
Menacng to Ruling Owners.

the st. Louis Club turns its down.
Would the two stars hold out?
And if they held out, what would
happen?
Facing a serious threat Of compe-
tition from a third major league,
organized baseball would be in the
most serious predicament it ever has
faced.
Would Attract Others
If Ruth and Hornsby made use OF
the only defensive weapon a base
ball player has, it certainly would
become movement. They would be
joined by practically every ball
player who had new contract to
consider, and Ruth and Hornsby
would draw for them the popular
support of the public.
Baseball unions and protective. or
CARNATIONS in the past have failed
because the proper leadership could
not be recruited.
But with Ruth and Hornsby lead
ing the way, no steam roller would
be needed to crush down the old
rocks in the road.
Friends of Hornsby insist he will
have his way because he is a good
young business man. But it is not
so certain about the Babe because he
has been the poorest business man
in baseball.
BreadOn Not Talking
Sam Breadon, owner Of the Cardi-
nails, hasn't said anything about
Hornsby's demands.
The first inclination of the two
club owners will be, of course, to let
them hold out. And the owners
might win by the old method if only
Hornsby and Ruth were concerned.
The magnates, however, know that
many of the prominent ball players
have been approached by representa-
tives of q proposed third major
league. They also know how much
help Ruth and Hornsby could give
another league and how much they
could make transforming without
any league utilization.

City Bowling
Gossip
BY Lefty Lee :

The Bucks were the only team in
The H. A. c.. league to win three
games, the Boosters being the vic
Tins. The Dumbbells, Water Dogs
-and Indian Clubs were the odd game
Yictors over the Ropes, Tumblers
eand Ballroom fives, respectively.
While this league does not produce
heavy scores it is one Of the feature
leagues Of the city, as there/is al
ways plenty of pep and good fell
lowship on tap,
The Ladies' Social League, shoot
ing on the Ellis alleys, showed some
good bowling Tuesday night, eleven
u the scores going over 1870.
The 211 game shot by Woollen
was light for the night. The Silver
Ilash team, although losing two out
Of three to the Fox Delicatessen, had
4he high single game of the night
with a score Of 921.
The Kreis Transfer, Capitol F'urni
lure and Shank Storage were also
tWo-game winners in this loop, de-
feating Komstohk Candy, A. c..
Bradley and the Mueller Soft Drinks.
Have you entered the singles
sweepstakes at the Capitol Alleys
for next Sunday afternoon? From
present indications it looks as if an
exceptionally large entry will open
tthe season in this class of play, and
as there are plenty of prizes hung
up, it will be worth the time spent
to get in.
The AutomOtive League seems to
be good breeding grounds for bowl
~ TS. as the totals continue to show
the boys are getting better results
each week. Smith of the I. j. Cooper
team was the leading wood ge.ter
Tuesday night, gathering COZ pins on
scores of 178, PA and 21O. He was
hard-pressed by several of the boys
who had totals of better than $50.
Clean sweeps predominated in this
league. The l. j. Cooper-Gibson
Company and Wallerich, defeated
Baxter Company-Auto Equipment
and Losey-Nash. F.. C. Stanford
copied the odd game from the Mar
mon rs, who failed to keep hitting
after a good first game.
The I. U.-All Star League had its
weekly morning session Tuesday at
the Capitol alleys. Although this
league starts at s a. m. it never has
a blind shooting. This, we believe,
is a league with the proper spirit,
as each team fights to the last ball
in every game, as the series be-
tween the Whiz Bangs and Operators
shows.
After losing the first and second
games by more than $50 pins the
Operators came back and took the
final by three pins.
In the Commercial League the
Boys are still going along at the
same steady pace which has been
one Of the features OF this league for
years. Mounts Of the Crescent Pa
per carried away high single total
Tuesday night on games of ZAP, 203
and 10 for total of els. Johnson

The Little Country Paper

It's no sixtcen-pagc edition that ex-

nor Geographic news;
Il isn't printed daily, with an extra"

And the editors not Dragging of his

It may have its faults and errors, but

For it's printed in the country way

It's only issued weekly, and it's not

But when it arrives | gladly put the

I don't read in its pages what the
wise and great men say,
But read that "Silas .Igeers
brought some wood TO town today"
And that Grandma Jarks is better, F."
or that odd Bill Jones is dead, :"
And it tells just what the parson in
his Sunday sermon said
It may be crude and homeIy-that
same little country sheet,
And the makeup Of its pages may be
rather obsolete;
II is damp when | unfold it, and the
print is somewhat blurred:
Yet it's always more that welcome
and read its every word,
And no reading TO city man 1t
greater JOY can give,
Than the little country weekly, print
ed where he used to live" .
see again the faces Of the friends

In The dim and distant fancies of the
happy long ago,
And read up in one corner that the

And that Uncle Nathan Smith pre-

Or that "our debating club will give
a sociable next week
At which our fellow townsman, Abner
Brotherton, will speak"
There are never learned essays on
the question of the day,
But it SAYS that folks are looking

horse team where the driver known as
Denver Curley handled his eight
horses with four sets of lines in par
ticularly skillful fashion.
No help was allowed any Of the
drivers after the teams were ready to
start in the test and whipping was for
hidden.
Following the tests with the horses
the dynamometer was set at 1000 lbs.
and a big bull elephant, "Old John, u
was hitched to the thermometers to de-
ternine the pulling power of the ele-
plant as compared with that of the
horses. This elephant weighed 5000
lbs, and was hitched with the ordinary
breast collar in which he is accus-
toned to pulling loads off circus
grounds. He proved perfectly willing
to pull and was able to start the dy-
namometers when set at tractive
resistance of 1000 lbs. but could pull
the thermometers only two or three
feet at time whereas the six horse
team walked right away with load
$50 greater.
The big elephant would probably
have been able to pull the load for the
definite distance by pulling 1t two or
chains used as trace broke and the
test with "Old John" was accordingly
discontinued. His mate, Babe" was
next hitched to the dynamometer. This
female elephant weighed $3.50 lbs. She
experienced much more trouble in
starting the load but was able to move
it about a foot at time for several
successive trials but as it was per-
fectly evident that neither elephant
would pull the load on straight away
pull the tests discontinued. 1t was
clearly demonstrated, however, that a

horse team was made by the Grey
Geldings Erred" and Rebel" Butler
and Newark" "Fox" and Rye" The
combined weight of this six horse
team was 9915 lbs. and they pulled
the dynamometer when set at trac-
tive resistance of 5000 lbs, which is
equivalent to starting (for Is or 20
consecutive times) a load of 64,936
lbs. on granite block pavement. This
six horse team developed 1922 horse
power in the course of these tests.
The largest pull made in the entire
contest was made by an eight horse
team of red roans, the pride Of the
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Circus. This eight horse team was
made up Of Harry" and Bird"
Brandy" and Dude" Shamrock
and Haley" "Curley" and Dick"
The combined weight of the eight
horses was 1880 lbs. They success
fully pulled the two thermometers
when set at a tractive resistance of
5000 lbs. which is equivalent to start
ing (for Is or 20 consecutive times) a
load of 1890 lbs. on granite block
pavement. This eight horse team de-
veloped a maximum of 71,42 horse
power in the course of the contests.
Horsemen who were present were
particularly impressed with the mon
ner in which the six and eight horses
got down and pulled together in spite
Of the extremely unfavorable condi-
lions under foot where mud and slush
made slipping inevitable, but in spite
of this the drivers were able to
straiehten their six and eight horse
teams out to get them to pull together
as one unit. This was particularly
noticeable in the case of the eight
