Four hundred and thirty-one years ago to the day Columbus discovered America, and at the Yankee stadium New York discovered that It had two ball clubs running a dead heat In the world series for the supremacy of all baseball, the Giants und the Y’ankees. It conducted itself accord ingly. More than 62.000 berserk citi zens hastened within the enclosure to take advantage of the holiday, the mild weather and the apparent fact that that eminent author. George H. Ruth, is on a rampage against all Giant pitching. I.argest Crowd. The crowd was the largest that has viewed the series to date. It be gan to assemble outside the dark, white gates in the still watches of the night and before daybreak bad assumed the proportions of an order ly mob. At that hour more than a thousand daring souls waited for the coming of another day and the inevi table breaking of the one-to-one dead lock that existed between the Giants and Yankees. The cause of the immoderate turn out, the gates were opened an hour before scheduled time and 25.000 fans rushed in and quickly filled the right field bleachers. By 12:15 they closed the bleacher entrances altogether, leaving about 10,000 earnest young men to the al ternative of battling for unreserved seats in the covered stands and tak ing their feet in their hands and pro ceeding hence. It was the largest crowd, inside and out. that attended :i ball grime in the history of the sport.

The Y’anks received an ovation as they stalked on the field at 12:30. The greeting was inspired for rea sons both sentiment and financial, (he Yankees having become 6 to 5 favorites over night with the same ; odds holding true for the single game today. The individual tendered the most generous greeting was Babe Ruth, lie did not appear until some 20 min utes nftrr the vanguard of the Yan kees, but was the focal point of much mention thereafer.

(.Nrlir, lion Rain Promises Blue and White a Hard Game Rain Falls at St. Marys and Indicates a Repetition of Last IX eek's Battle. By RALPH WAUNKR. St. Marys, Kan., Oct. 12.—The well known jinx still trails the Creighton university football team. When the Blue and White gridiron warriors arrived in this quiet little Kansas town this morning the weath er man gave the squad the once over ffnd immediately turned on the fau cet. It rained nil day and what’s more it's still raining and it's likely to keep it up all day tomorrow when the Creighton eleven lines up to meet tho Kansas Aggies In Manhattan Just a few miles as the crow flies. Regardless of the weather, and its bad enough to make the most happy person feel gloomy, the 22 Creighton gridsters donned their moleskins this afternoon and trotted over to St. Marys college, where Coach Chet Wynne sent the two squads through a little limbering up exercises. Run ning down punts was also on tho menu. With the exception of Ray Lower, half back, the entire Creighton party is in tip top condition to face the Aggies tomorrow. Lower at the pres ent is nursing a flock of bolls under his right arm, all of which will keep him on the sidelines Saturday. Benol kin, another Blue and White grldster, was left at hfcue. Hen has a bad case of blood poisoning. To a stranger watching the 22 Blue and White footballers go through their exercises on Ht. Marys field this afternoon it would appear as If Creighton was this little town's own representative on the football field. Practically the entire population turned out to see Coach Chet Wynne put his men through their stunts. A little thing like a rain failed to damp en the football spirit of St. Marys. Tlte townspeople cheered Creighton as it ran signals and when the team left the field the citizens of the town joined in with the population of the college and wished the team good luck against the Kansas Farmer* down at Manhattan. Coach Wynne had little to say af ter this afternoons practice. The squad is in as good a condition as possible and ready to get into action. The condition of the Aggie field to morrow will have a lot to do with the style of football Creighton will play. In the practice today Coach Wynne had the sorrel topped Fitzgibbons kicking the pigskin. Fitz's boots were averaging round 30 yards. Following practice Wynne an nounced that Fitzgibbons would do the kicking in the Kansas game. Should the Aggie field be in the same condition as the Jayhawker grid was last Saturday Creighton will resort to a kicking game. However the Blue and White athletes will get a chance to match their football ability with that of the Aggies. , Wynne will start Noland at center and Captain McLeer and Neary at guards with VanAckeran and Gayer at the tackle positions. Luepke and Kean will hold down tho wing posi tions. In the backfield will be Ike Mahoney at quarter back and Yechout at full flanked on both sides by Spelcher and Fitzgibbons. Mahoney may be removed early in the game if his no too well ankle causes him much pain. In case he is yanked Shorty Hickey will take his place. Hickey is the former Trinity star of Sioux City who Is small in stature but mighty wh'-n it comes to playing foot ball. The chances are that Bertlolgo will be in the lineup before the game has finished. If Creighton kicks oft Bertlolgo will be In at fullback but if the Blue receives Yechout will hold down the fullback position. With this lineup Coach Wynne expects to s*-« the colors of Creighton carried to vie tory over the Kansas Aggies. All Wynne asks for Is a dry field. This part of the state has been acting as a sponge for the weather man lately and all indications point to a slippery gridiron. At any rate tomorrow can't ho any worse than last Saturday when Creighton held the Kansas University to a 6 to 0 score in a downpour of rain. Gridsters and Runners to Come to Lincoln Lincoln.

The three conference games tomor row will he the first of the season, all of the Missouri Valiev schools having engaged trams outside I he conference last Saturday, and the first test of r< iatlvo strength will be brought out in tomorrow's games. The Creighton team, which meets the Kansas Aggies tomorrow, was drubbed, 6 to 0, last Saturday at Law rence, and some idea of the Relative power cf the two Kansas teams may be brought out. In last week's games virtually nil of the conference teams showed lack < f practice, fumble# were frequent- and field running ragged. The peculation of Spain exceeds j 21,000,000.

The long hit was not only sorely needed by the Giants, but it accounted for the only hot re made on either side during the game. Casey sure Is ' some guy In his own town” now.

On the next pitch from Jones, precise, methodical. Casey lashed at the ball. "Cashing" is the only way you can describe Casey's swing. Goes Into Bleachers. The next instant the ball was sail ing high over Pipp’s h^ad toward the packed right field bleacher. Ruth saw It coming, turned and ran up the green slope toward the low bleacher wall, but quickly stopped when he saw it was going into the stand. A hundred hands were outstretched, reaching for the ball as it came down, not far from the foul line. That ball disappeared as quickly as if It had been a snowflake falling on a hot gridle. It is now the treaaured pos session of some bleacher fan. Meantime Stengel trotted slowly around the bases, gesturing, his lips moving as he passed each ^ ankee in fielder. Apparently Casey had some thing to say to each, something prob ably sarcastic, it is Casey’s way. j Over on the Giant Irench Case\ s fellow players were pounding one another * jubilantly.
