Fargo. N. D., Sept. i4.-North Da-
kota State college football candidates
at the end OF the first weeks practice
have discovered that Coach G. g.
Casey Finnegan has forgotten the
admonitiOn Of take 1t easy" which
greeted them the first two days Of
limbering up exercises. A goodly ma
jority of veterans and sophomores
were on hand to draw uniforms with
the opening Of practice season last
Monday and the remaining members
OF the squad are expected to be on
hand within the next couple Of days.
F~innegan's early forgetfulneSs Of
the formality of not getting too
rough at the start indicates that the
Bison mentor is not going to waste
any time in getting down to the bust
ness OF intensive training.
An initial scrimmage test Friday
revealed the fact that one of Finnc-
gan's major problems lies in the wing
positions. The tentative Bison first
team lineup finds Bill Hits, stellar
end OF last season. missing and with
Horace McGrath. another promising
wing man Of last eason on the side
lines with a game arm. McGrath
suffered All injury to his left arm IN

failed to mend properly a new cxamin-
alton revealed two bone splintcrs near
the elbow. necessitating another oper-
alton. The doctor will not say when
McGrath may indulge In practice but

Meanwhile McGrath Is trying to abb

New Haven, Aug. PA sensa- tional rally in the eighth inning aft CT the contest seemed to be hope lessly lost, gave the Bridgeport Herald team a 4 to 3 victory over the Hartford Cardinals Saturday and with it went the state Legion championship. The game was play ed at the Yale varsity field here and was one of the hardest fought in Legion state competition.
 Frank Tolcz, the rangy Hartford pitcher, hurled shutout ball until the fatal eighth inning. During the first seven frames, not a Bridgeport man reached third base. The winning rally of the Park City nine came with suddenness that left the fol- lowers of the Capital City outfit stunned. Four singles and a dou- ble decided the issue in favor of the Herald team.
 Last years state champions SCOT ed their only runs in the fourth ses- sion when Clancy, Bridgeports star twirler, faltered after retiring the opposition in order in the first three innings Three bingles sent two Hartford players across the plate in this frame. The Capital City aggre- gation had golden opportunities 10 score in tlA remaining frames but Bridgeport's left handler frightened in the pinches and retired the Birds without further scoring.
 E. Johnson and Niedzwiecki led the winners attack with three hits each. Levy and Garneau, Hartford infielders. gave brilliant fielding ex- hibitions. The score by innings:

TO ENFORCE RULES
Intention of General John Y. Clin- min, chairman of Illinois board, May Embarrass Dempsey.

Chicago, Aug. F LP-The inten- ton of General John V. Clinnin, new chairman of the Illinois state ath- letic commission, to "enforce every rule in the book" promises to cause embarrassment for Jack Dempsey.
 A section of the state law govern- ing boxing stipulates that officers. matchmakers or other officials of any club, corporation or association presenting boxing shows, must be bona tide residents of Illinois, and must have been residents of the state for three years prior to application for a license.
 Dempsey does not qualify under the residence clause, but was grant ed license by the recently resigned commission, to hold boxing shows at the Coliseum. His first show is scheduled for early in October, pro- viding the new commission take no contrary action.
 The new body, General Clinnin, Frederick Gardner and George F. Getz will hold it's initial meeting to- night at Springfield, with Governor Louis L. Emmerson in attendance.

St. MattS' Team Sure of at Least a Tie For First Place in Games Carded Tonight.

The St Matthew's German Luth- erans can assure themselves of at least tie for first place in the Inter- Church baseball league by winning their game with the Stanley Memo rial nine at Willow Brook park to- night. Inasmuch as the Stanmors have been making a poor showing in recent games and were forced to forfeit last weeks encounter because they could not put a full team IF the field, the prospects of a St. Mats victory are more than good. If the East Enders, however, can put their full team in the field, they should be able to offer stalwart resistance to the league leaders,
 The Trinity Methodists, who have been playing a new brand of ball for cellar team during the past two weeks, will meet the First Luther ans This should be a good game, as the Methodists have been rebuilt and should give the runners-up a hard game.

 Yesterdays hero-Rogers Horns by, who drove in all his teams runs as the Chicago Cubs increased their lead in the National league race to eight full games by beating the Bos- ton Braves, 8 to l. "The Rajah' did it with a homer, a single and dou- ble, while Root was toying with the tribe.
 As the Pirates lost to the Robins at Ebbets field by to 8 score, the distance separating them from the Cubs heightened by an entire game. Everything appeared to be nicely set for a Pittsburgh victory, too, as they were leading, to 1, in the eighth, with two out. Frederick then hit homer, Herman doubled and Hen drick and Bissonette followed with homers, much to the distress of Remy Kremer who was on the hill for the Corsairs.
 Carl Hubbell, slender Giant south paw, let the Cincinnati Reds down with five scattered hits, and would have shut them out but for Andy Cohen's error in the ninth, New York winning handily, to 1.
 The New York Yankees blew lead compiled on Babes 500th homer and Lou Gehrig's 27th of the cur rent season, tossing away ball game and chance to gain on the Athletics by making four errors which helped the Cleveland Indians to beat 'em, to 1.
 The Mackmen also had an excel lent chance to win in the west, but a four run rally in the last of the ninth and Roy Johnsons homer in side the park in the 11th gave the Detroit Tigers an unexpected to 8 triumph. With Earnshaw pitching the As were getting along nicely until the ninth. when Red Hargrave hit homer with two on. John Pi- GUS Quinn was rushed to the rescue, but Cronin's wild heave paved the way for another run which tied the score.
 Al Thomas allowed the Boston Red SoX five hits, the White SoX punching their seven off Ruffing for enough runs to achieve a to vic- tory.
 The Washington Senators dragged the St. Louis Browns out of third place, allowing the Indians to move up, by winning a watery ball game. long delayed by rain, to 5. The Browns staged three run rally in the ninth, driving Burke from the box, but couldn't catch up. The h. dans are in third place by half game, with the Detroit Tigers now only three and one-half games back of the Browns.

Spe king of Sports

All games III the Clty CndHplOl- ship baseball series were called off yesterday because of the rain. In order to straighten out the sched- ule Chairman John Tobin of the managing board, has called meet ing of the managers for Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at the office of the New Britain Herald.
 The matter of the bonds of $50 voted by the managers to be post ed by last Saturday. will also be taken up. kensington is the only team that has put up it's bonds. None of the others reported Satur- day.
 A series of silly charges with regard to the handling of the Amer ican Legion Boys baseball league in this state, has been hurled at Harry c. Jackson of this city by Bridgeport newspapers. More ex- traordinary than anything else is the fact that the charges are being made, not by the boys, but by adults.
 The charges state that, for some reason or other, MT. Jackson has put the series ''in the bag" so that Bridgeport could not win. The events of last week resulting in the winning of the championship by the Bridgeport team, have proved the charges false in this respect but they have done a grave injustice 10 Mr. Jackson, known and respected as one of the ablest and most con- scientious Legion executives in the state.
 The actions of the Bridgeport men connected with the baseball team were nothing short of disgrace during the series with Hartford, ac- cording to report and they tend 10 give a very bad example to the boys on the team. The partisan ship of the Bridgeport fans was na tural but it was carried too far.
 The charges may be aired at the L6SlOn SldlS COlNeHllOll Ill I1di = ford this month and at that time, Jackson's accusers will have to show their faces on the convention floor. We might add that the accusa- tions had better have some backing or else the local man will make it hot for those who are bringing them.
 Such conditions should not be al- lowed to exist among the Legion posts and members. There was no plan or plot to have New Britain come through and win the state championship. Every rooters in this city wanted to see the local team win. That's natural and perfectly allowable. The officials, however, have had nothing up their sleeves regarding the busting of the Bridge port team.
 If an official complaint regarding the status of the Bridgeport players was received and found to be sound, then action will be taken on it with out any delay. If it happens that the Bridgeport Legion team breaks the rules, they will be ordered out of the playoff. However, no official complaint has been received as yet.
 The postponed game in the City league between the Burritts and the Holy Cross team will be played Wednesday night at o'clock at Walnut Hill park
