Earnshaw Is Out To

World Series

SPORTSMAN'S PARK, st. Louis,
Oct. 9.@P-The first tang OF fall
this World series has felt was in
the air today as thousands Of rabid
rooters marched steadily into the
National league ball yard for the
all-important sixth duel Of the high
flying st. Louis Cardinals and the
world champion Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Top Goats Out
Top coats were out for the first
time since the Cardinals, apparent
~ outclaSsed and conceded but the
barest hopes Of victory at the open
ing Of the baseball drama here
eight days ago. suddenly unleashed
the dynamic Pepper" Martin on
the complacent, confident Athletics.
Now the Red Birds, thanks TO the
youthful cyclones batting average
OF .667, his amazing base running
and courage, plus the two great
pitching triumphs of Wild Will Hal
lahan and the superb hurting Of
the veteran Burleigh Grimes, are
back home leading three games to
two.
Backed to the wall by the demor-
alizing offensive OF young Mart in,
whose heroic achievements have
never before been eqIalled in World
series play, the Athletics, beaten
twice in three games on their drab
home lot in Philadelphia, had lit
tie choice bgt to send their one
remaining pitching ace. Big large
Earnshaw, out to deadlock the Sc
ries again and force a final strug-
gle in the seventh and climax game
tomorrow.
Derringer Picked
There was no question in the
minds Of the 10000 excited Martin
supporters in the far outfield stands
as to the Cardinal pitching selec-
ton. AS soon as the teams were
tearing westward on special trains
after the fifth game in Ph.ladel-
phia Wednesday, Cab Street,
odd Sarge" OF the Cardinals, went
to work on a pipeful Of tobacco,
pondered a few minutes. and came
up with the definite announcement
that Paul Derringer, giant right
hand rookie from the Kentucky
hills, positively would be given the
chance to win the series and re-
deem himself for the defeat Rob-
ert Moses Grove handed him in the
opening game here.

|STAGG, AS USUAL,
| FACES GRID TASK
Outlook Presages Hard Year
for Veteran Coach for
Chicago Eleven.

HICAGO, August Amos Alon-
70 Stages fortieth year as head
4 coach Of University Of Chicago's
foot ball team does not prom
ise much in the way of victories. The
old man of the midway is once more
handicapped by lack Of material and
without man-power no coach can make
much headway In the Western Confer
ence siege.
In startling contrast to most Of his
hereditary rivals, who will start the foot
ball training season with squads num-
bering from so to IS, Stages tentative
roster of candidates invited to start
work on September is includes only 20
players.
OF course, the squad will be increased
somewhat at the time of practice, but it
Is from the platoon Of 20 that Stagg
expects to build his team. A team that
must face Michigan, Yale, Indiana,
Purdue, Arkansas, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin in that order.
Only nine of Chicago's squad are let
ter men. And some of those nine would
not be considered good timber on other
Big Ten squads. Stagg is depending
upon the development of several mex
perienced young men TO make good.
With his usual optimism the old man
foresees a modicum Of success, provided
he Is not overtaken by many injuries.
Stages problem will be the line. He
can smile bit when he surveys his
backfield material.

DOWN THE LINE
WITH W. o. McCEEHAN-

physicians and the athletic coaches and
experts. Immediately all Of the fresh
men of good physique who have had a
certain amount of athletic training are
excused from participation in any of
the college sports.
The foot ball players are the first to
be excused or those who could qualify
for the squad. The same process would
be applied to all of the men who could
easily have qualified for track and field.
The potential crew members are told
that they will not have to handle an
oar while they are in college. Base ball
players are told that they may haye a
four-year lay-off from the diamond.
The remainder of the freshmen will
be handed over to the various coaches
and ordered to work from three to five
hours day at the sports to which they
are assigned. If those who are abund-
antly 1T physically insist that they too
need some sort of recreation they will be
allowed to participate in intramural and
intercollegiate chess; also they will be
permitted to go in for the debating team
or to try out for the glee club.
OF course, the training tables will be
maintained, but in working out this
theory the training tables will be for
the students who need it. Under the
present system, which DIR. Snedden
criticizes so justly, the students who are
not in need of athletic training and of
scientific feeding are the only ones who
get it at the expense of the school,
Naturally the coaches will welcome
the new system because it will give them
the sporting chance to show what they
can do with no material whatever Also
it will give them the chance to prove
to all skeptics that intercollegiate foot
ball Is great force for the upbuilding
Of the entire undergraduate body, phys
ically and mentally.

NEW YORKER TAKES
GERMAN MARATHON
Debryun's Victory Features
First Day of National
Track Games.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ERLIN, August German
K athletes today began their
- two-day battle for national
track and field champion
ship honors, but the chief prize
fell to q German-American, Paul
Debryur, who captured the
classic marathon as a representa-
tive of the Deutscher Social Club
of New York City.
The huge crowd at the Berlin sta
dunn leaped to its feet with a wild
cheer as Debryun trotted home f1rst
by a decisive margin, beating his near
est rival, Geisler of Charlottenburg, by
nearly a kilometer, about two-thirdS OIL
a mile. The winner covered the full
marathon route of 422 kilometers (26
miles 3S5 yards) in the good time OF 2
hours Al minutes 1913 seconds.
Trailing for the first kilometers,
Debryun gradually moved into third
place Running easily, he was IN sec
ond position at IL Kilometers and at
the 24-kilometer mark he jumped into
the lead, which he steadily increased:
He was crowned with a horseshoe Of
olive leaves by the enthusiastic officials.
Debryun, who came here without any
ballyhoo, achieved his ambition and
Immediately packed up for his return
to New York.
Fast time in the hurdles and middle
distances featured other performances
in the championship meet, which Is ex-
pected to reveal German strength for
the 1920 OlvnnpicS
Krause of Berlin beat his 1880 mark
in winning the 1900 meters In 8 minutes
SIS seconds in a spirited duel with
Wichmann of Charlottenburg.
Metzner of Frankfurt clipped a sec
ond from last years time in winning
the 400 meters in 48.4 seconds with
Buechner of Leipzig second. The 100
meter final was won by Jonah in 10S
seconds, the time being somewhat slow
as a result of the necessity Of three
preliminary heats.
Petris OF Hanover won the 10000
meters from Molitor of Berlin in 81
minutes 592 seconds.

What! No More Heroesi


fessor of education at Columbia
University, as revealed in his
address recently concerning the
relationship of sport to college life, will
be greeted with more or less raucous
laughter, but the logic of DR.. Snedden
is irrefutable. He says that the over
emphasis of sport in the colleges and
its diversion from its true purposes are
due to the abnormal appetite for heroes
and predicts that by 1860 competitive
sport will have been abandoned in all
of the better institutions of learning
Our more far-sighted educators"
says DR.. Snedden, ARE doing all they
can now to use sport in every form
primarily for the physical benefit Of
the young persons who need building
up. But how they are impeded by the
abnormal competitive spirit of our
time! The public, and, above all, the
readers of newspapers, are chiefly in
terested in the strong ones, prize win
ners and record breakers.
The wisdom of 1860 surely will see
that most Of our leadership, money and
equipment for physical sports should
be devoted to young persons Of inferior
physical foundations to start them on
the road toward first class bodily well
being.
Thirty years hence an even larger
of our youth will be urban
reared than at present. Even the far
mers' sons and daughters will be doing
much less physical work. Under such
conditions much more attention will

Grove and Cochrane are two of the
good reasons why the Philadelphia Ath-
