Connie Mack has a wondftrful aet of batters and a great las bull inarhlne, fast In every department of th frame. It lias proved fast and strong: In the one department of catching, where It was exported to show weakness. Kvn tha Cub aprinters Hofman, Tinker. Chance end Kchulte, fell down on stealing many bases off Ira. Tha fourth name In which the to teams really matched wits and skill waa tha best of all, and the Cubs and their looteis hope that It will prove tueir lucky stone. It at least ahowed that the old follows were able to come back and fight like the rreat warriors they are. That baa been tha Cub's strong point heretofore-winning up-hill fights and ! would not be unprecedented, either for them or basa ball. If they won the championship yet, though it doea not soem probable that thoy will. In 1W3 Boston won from ntte burg utter the rirates had taken tins out of four games, just the way the Cubs and Athletics stand today. I'ndoubtedly the Cubs have misKwl Kvers. Zimmerman has not filled hie place. lie bas even been a disappointment at the bat and certainly not up to little John at the keystone corner. Captain Chance ha been the leader all the way. It was he who tied up the game yesterday with a three-bacger after ha waa refused a base on being lilt by a pitched ball, Jt was a desperate moment and I ho Chance n;rve triumphed. This last game was a real battle and it was the first of the series. The Cubs should by all means have won the second game, wh-n Coombs passed eight men and waa hit ten times enough to defeat any team, but the Cubs eould not produce; they were clearly rattled and beside. Old Miner Brown had one of his far-between off daya. But the victory of yesterday goes to Brown, for when ha went in to relieve Cole, who pitched grand ball, the score was a tie. It la probable Brown will pitch today's game, which will be played in Chicago. Mr. V. A. Fletcher, the Cincinnati pro moter, who had tha all-star post-season series arranged and the new major league projected, has sustained several body blowtj during the week. Such, stars aa Cobb, La jole and M;illln have, returned their checks for n.ooo for their services in tha fall I games and cut loose from the whole en terprise.

Deserted by the two monlcd men who were to back him, and now the stars he had signed up. Fletcher doea not present a very formidable front. It la to be questioned If anything at all will aver come of his move for tha third major league. Conser vative men figure that such an enterprise could not be launched short of I5.0uo.000 and Fletcher ia said to be minus that sum by about $4,936,000.

The Skipper will be given all reasonable lee-way and every chance to show what is in him. President Rourke feels sure he will make a successful leader and is going to do his part by furnishing him with the cUah ta boost the game and get the players. All these with a new park ought to fix us out. And then there is the Skipper's new bride, too. Some dopsters now have It that Fielder Jones, the former White fox manager, will buy In snd manage the Browns next sea son. Certainly the Browns need a tnan sjrer snd there Is none better than Jones. Mr, Hedgea might do much worse than chars his property with Jones in order to put It on a aounder baaia. It would be a srand day for St. Jouts and baas hall to ice I Jones back on the diamond.

SOLE HOrE IS TO BEAT KANSAS Team at MueaJa t Tkresgk tha Teesbe.4 kUa ( Prarttee la k Jest Frte Pya . fre- I.INCOLN, Neb.. Oct. IZ-tFpecial.) "There will be no let up of the hard work from now on until alter the Kansas game," said foa h King" Cole of Nebraska, in speaking of the, preparation for the crucial gspe of the Cornhunker schedule. Kennedy Invented some llch bear torlee In IW and caught us napping; he taught Nebraska I'cr.ire in lixxi, but If Nebraska Is beaten tins Tall it will be solely upon merit." Nor Is tha Nebraska coach afraid that his piolegee will become Male under the vigorous practice that lie has outlined, for the next fourteen daya. Cola admitted that the Cornhuskers were stale In lid's, but called attention to the three hard gtnnes the team had been compelled to play Just before the Jayhawker game with Min nesota, then Ames and finally with Iowa. Xebraaka hopes to wipe out the defeats of the recent years by sweeping Kansas off its feet. The Cornhuskers will not be satisfied with a low acore game and to this end will be prepared to use every trick formation made possible by the new rules. It ta safe tt predict that when Cole'e pupils meet the Jayhawkers they will have one of the moat varied of fenses In the history of Cornhusker foot ball. Small Fear for Dearer. Kven the fear of the Mountaineera this week failed to arouse special preparation for the Denver game. Cole realizes that there Is Just one big game on every sched ule on which the rooters bas a season s success and It the Nebraska mentor can win from the ancient rivals of Nebraska, there will be enough joy in the Cornhusker camp to blot out all other unpleasant memories. it 1h a tremendous tusk which confronts Cole. The game with Minnesota was a distinct surprise to Nebraska. It ahowed that tha "beef" which was believed to be at the disposal of the coach waa lacking and that the backfleld and enda were woefully light. Against a powerful, well balanced team like the Gophers, the Corn huskers were powerless. Tha team played the best ball It could, but met a superior elesii and the score must be taken as in dicative of the relative merits of the two. At Kansas a different situation exists. Uke Nebraska the Jayhawker ends and backa are light, while tha line Is also lighter than it was last season. The Jay hawkers still have the wonderful "Tommy" Johnson, but the rest of Kennedy'a ma chine bears little resemblance to what It did at this time last year. But this is taken for little at Nebraska, for Kennedy already has taken a team that ha a been, trimmed by secondary schools earlier In the season and smashed the Cornhuskers' hopes. Malceap af Teaaa Problem. Tha makeup of tha team still remains a big problem. Cole has directed that the scrimmage work be long and heavy during the next two weeks and the material-will be given a thorough teat. It would not be surprising to see aeveral new faces In the lineup ssalnst tne Kanaans. Russell has been shitted from end to a place In the backfleld and la playing a good game. His speed Is a big asset and ha may be given an opportunity against the Jayhawkers. Harmon is being worked at guard to fill the vacancy caused by tha injury to Elliott la the Minnesota game. Harmon Is a heavier man than any of the other substi tutes and Is a hard fighter, but lacks foot ball experience. Manager Earl O. Eager haa finally suc ceeded in securing a special rate for the Kansas game and a special train will be run to Lawrence, The rata haa been fixed st 7 98, the train leaving Uncoln early Fri day night and reaching Kansas Saturday morning. For tha accommodation of the student tha railroad officials have con sented to plaoe a sleeper on tha special, bertha coating an additional $2. After the game tha special will leave Lawrence at 11 o'clock Saturday night and will reach Lincoln early Sunday morning. All alumni in the stale who desire to make the trip should communicate with Manager Eager. During the next two weeks several rallies will be had to arouse interest. The band will accompany the team and It is estimated that fully 500 students will take advantage of the special rale. BIG LAWYERS FOR THE POOR t'hlvaea Follow Xew lark's Ex ample in Drteste ( Pr. leas I afertwoates. Bky priced attorney a are no longer a luxury to be monopolised only by wealthy clients. Judge Scanlan of Chicago has adopted a new method of appointing counsel for In digent prisoners In the county Jail. In stead of selecting names from a list of business cards sent In by shystar lawyers in the hoi-e of seining free advertising or a little "on the aide." counsel will now ba aclectrd from the highest priced attorneys In Cook county. Attorney Francla Walker Is tha first of the top notohers to have a client with an empty poocketbook apportioned to him by Judee Beanlan. H will defend Harry Rol lins, an Indian, Indicted for embessllng tJ.OUO from tha Chicago A Northwestern railroad. Attorney Edgar U Masters la another ot those chosen to defend penniless county Jul I prisoners. "Clncie Slim" or "Frisco Red" may now "weed a leather" or "pull a prop" and have ta defend them cqtmvel the mention of liott CM in alone Svould send shivers through the bank I oil it a multimillionaire on the Ike Phor drive. Instead of being defended by lawyers of no fain and less reputstion, "Clncie" and "Frisco" now may bask witaout thought of fees to com in the light ot a legal luminary who would charge any ordinary j plutocrat a sum large enough to bu.ld a lreadnutiht. "Tha koboa and the poor people in the county Jail hate not been treated right, in the matter ot obtaining counsel for them." aid Judge Scanlan lat night at hi home, Sll Kwlng place. "Taey have been neg lected. The counsel chosen hava bean from those who wante the Job for either advertising or what they could get out of it on the aide. "There are &.0U0 lawyers in Chicago. There la no reason why our beat attorneys should not give their services. By going through the list it would mean only one case every two years for a good attorney. " "The old method bas been for lawyers anxious for cases to submit business carxia to the Judge, who made bis svlections from then, II y method, whit h I trust will be success, ia to take th lnwyei' directory and select the best attorneys In Chicago and then notify them of th cajie they are to dufend.

The University of Wisconsin toot ball squad waa materially augmented this week when Pete Murphy, a veteran of three years ago. Joined the squad. He Is being tiied at a guard position and Is expected to be a permanent fixtuve there before the sea son comes to a close. Murphy tips the scales at CIS when in condition and will add much to the weight In the line, which has been a constant source ef worry to Coach Barry since the aeason began. With the further addition of Pete Pleroe. an Illinois freshman star two seasons ago, however. It looks as though the line would be the equal of any thing in the west. Pierce is the exact counterpart of Murphy so far as weight is concerned, and in fplte of the light back field the team average ia now 177 pounds. Pierce Is doing some remarkable work in the punting line, booting the oval better than alxty yards In the practices during tha last week. The coaches have kept the men behind closed gates all week and the Improvement haa been nothing short of wonderful. Coach Wilson of tha track team la work ing on his cross-country runners at the present time, getting them In shape for the meet which will be held here on November Is. Ha has been successful in developing distance runners in the east and expects to land the Badger runners well up at the front. Captain Hover is the only old mem ber of the squad who is back. MEDICINE ON THE UPR0AD Aivaaelag Professional Skill Marked by Greatly Improved Health. From must. It not quite ever y viewpoint, thora is unquestionably much difference between the medicine of fifty or lxty years ago and the medicine of today medicine In the sixth decade of the nine teenth century and medicine In the first decade of the twentieth century. In other days, in this country at least, upon a fair English education, a recog nised preceptor's nonsworn certificate of three years' study, friendly evidence of moral character, two four months' terms of lecture at a chartered school, and s perfunctory examination, the M. D, was generally obtainable by all free men; now. with legal standards constantly advan cing, ths full equivalent of a high school training, nonbiased evidence of four years' study and good morals, four eight months' courses, some clinic experience and many atrlct examinations are rulably demanded therefor. Then vary tew, If Indeed any, legal restrictions her existing, all frea non graduates might unreservedly practice the country over, a medical diploma usually evidencing only codeglata recognition of professional fitness; now, while neither medical teaching r.or cllnio experience, to say naught of any diplomas, ia often pre requisite, every state carefully registers under divers enactments, all practitioners.

WONDERS OF NEWEST RAILROAD Howie ef the Western Pacific from ftalt Lake to aa Fra. rise. At many points on the line of th new Western Pacific railroad from Salt Lake City to aan Francisco. -titer was not room enough in the rsnyon for both river and railroad, and solid walls of masonry had to be built to carry the tracks above the stream. At other points the slisrp curves in the canyon have sent the tracks back and forth from one side to the other on steel bridae and high trestles. In build ing the line, material and workmen fre quently had to ba let down the sides of the canyon by ropes hundreds of feet in length to start construction on new sec tions. Wagon roads are everywhere Im possible. At last, after endless turnings and twists In fighting Its way through m miles of th canyon, the tracks come out Into I he broad alley st Orovllle, over w-hich. for countless ages the Feather river has poured debri from its mountain fast nesses. 8o much gold did tha river bring down thai the soil down to ine solid bed rock is being dug up by dredges and washed for gold Beautiful omnge or chards, large tracts of land glien over to Olives and other fruite are being now torn to pieces In th ceaseless hunt for gold.

FLEET RUNNERS FROM TRIBES Oiat(aulhea la Hsm Rail, Foot Ball ad Meter ft area C haract er istics Aotea la ariose I teste. The Tight between red man and white man is still on, but the conflict la now conducted on the field of sport, where the rivalry. It lees deadly, is no less keen than It was In the dsys of yore. On this new field of bsttle th qualities that made the savage Indian so dreaded a foe make his twentieth century grandson a rival who must be respected. Kndurance, pertinacity, subtle craft, keenness of eye, swiftness ofJ limb, sureness of touch, are Inherited qual ities no less useful In modern rport then In frontier wsrfare. The long train and th woody ambus cade, w her formerly the Indian aougot to entrap and kill his enemy, ar now repre sented by th chalk-msrked foot ball field, the Mnder-strewn running path, the green sward baseball field and latest of all, the oil soaked road of the automobile course. From the reservations hava oome the fleet-footed runners that bav often made slower white men run in the dust from their heels. Out of the lndlsn schools, principally Carlisle, have come the sturdy foot ball teams that by brawn and by cunning have humbled their whit breth. rcn before the gaze of multitudes. From off the plains of the west have com still another redman, who, at the wheel of a powerful automobile, lias striven with skill and daring against the white man in terri fying, death-defying races. And the crarty Indians have more than one humbled their white brethren on the base ball field. The Indian warrior of today is the brave ot three generations back, merely in a dif ferent environment. Nothing was more natural than that the red men should turn to tha most strenuous forms of athletic exercise as an outlet for the fierce energy and the restless spirit that bad been pent up slnoe they were despoiled of their wild patrimony, into these sports of the white people the Indians bate brought many ot their racial characteristics, and there are many snorts which we ow to the Indians, features of which their players had never thought until th red men Introduced them. j Warrior on the Dlamewa. I What base ball tan is not now tainiliar with tho fame of Chief Bender, pitcher ot the Philadelphia Athletics, whose speed and skill won the first ot the world's championship games in Shlbe park, last Monday. Year after year has Bender gone along pitching remarkable ball, achieving success quite as much by his shrewdness and strategy as by brute force and strength. Those who have watched tihe marvelous Bender have noted abova 4U else his perfect disregard ot the taunts and jeers, the shouts and cheers ot th throngs about him. With the same stoic indifference tor which the Indians have over been noted he has gone along witn 4 pertinacity similar to that of his an cestors trailing wild game through track less f ornt. - i Then there is Big Chief Meyers, the catcher on the JSew York Giants. More than one of his white opponents hav fallen a victim to his cunning wben by a sudden, unexpected throw to tha base he has caught a rash runner and put him out. Time after time has a swiftly thrown ball, suddenly deflected by tho bat of the batsman, maimed and torn ine fingers and hands of Meyers, yet with th stolid In difference of his race be has given no sign of. the pain he must have suffered. la tha l'aat Ball Field, it Is at the Carlisle Indian school, th most famous institution of its kind in the world, that the Indian ot today displays most conspicuously the traits of his race. No game enjoyed by white people ap pealed to the nature of the Indian lads In ths school more tnan foot ball, and for years their teams have proven worthy op ponents for tha best of the white elevens. In their foot ball mora than jn any other game the Indians found opportunities to display these characteristics that Cooper delighted to portray In the "Leather Block ing Tales," Hurts and bruises that sent his white opponents to the side lines failed completely to dampen th Indian's spirits or to impair, his efficiency. or years the Carlisle lads played a greater number of games than any other team la th coun try, beginning at the very opening ot the season, they have gone, along meeting op ponent after opponent weeks after other elevens have oeen willing and ready to stop for the year. Ktoical Indifference to pain has, bow ever, not been the most prominent char acteristic ot th Indian In foot oail. Rather haa it been jus strstegy. The cunning craft that mad him so dreaded a to for tne whit man when the possession of t.ie plains waa at stake have made hi in Just aa worthy a foe now that the prise la but the glory ot victory. it is not likely that those who saw uu- game nor those who participated In It will ever forget th Ijarvard-Carltsle match of 1908. Victory seemed destined first to erown the standards ot Harvard and later those ot the Indians. Then a turn of luck put tha white boy a In the lead. Th time for play was drawing to a close. That the Indians with all tlxir skill and all 'heir perseverance wer doomed to defeat seemeu certain. And then tame a play that will never be forgotten. Th Indian got the ball. They were far from their opponent' goal and the time waa brief. The two teams lined up. Suddenly the ball wax snapped to one of iiie Indians. Th oLUor.n gathered about him lor an instant snd then scattered to every part of tho field. Th Harvard players, confuned, slopped still, for the ball was now her in slant. Sud denly, oft to one side of the field, a durk okliincd little man wss seen lunnln at lop speed toward the Harvard goal. The Crimson players dallied off in pursuit, but too isle to prevent the touchdown. Tr,c Indian, tiillon was' his nam, had concealed the halj beneath his Jetsey.

Voi g I In ad Squash Season Promises to Be Very Lively One Racquet Club Courts Done Over and New Flayers Enlisted Would Bring Chicago Here. Omaha s aeason of squa?h for the year 1H10 promises to b the liveliest It has un dergone since the game wss first lntri ducod In this city. Although the season proper does not start for some time yet. the player of that strenuous sport are si ready getti-ng themselves Into th right form for a Hltl practice. The Omaha Racquet club, which is the home ot squash In Omaha, has had i'.s courts done over this sumnvr and has a right ta be proud of them in their present condition. The courte ar of wood and are the largest In the west. They ar modeled after those of the Boston 8n.u.h club, which are accounted the best In the Cnlted States. If possible, the Omaha club wants to get the Chicago players here for th annual tournament between the two organisations. Aa the last year's tournament was held on the Chicago courts. It ia probable that the event will be held In Omaha this sea son. On the Omaha lineup this season there ar several good possibilities besides the famous Kennedy, known to the squash world as "Spike." Kddlo Creighton, Mosher Colpetxer. Robert Burns, William Hughes and Harry Wilkinson will all be in the game. Two new men who tnsy Join the ranks of the big players this year are Arthur Scribner. the Omaha tennis cham pion and Johnny Madden, once riahtftelder for Yale. Both are reckoned cm to be come fast men before the season of 1S10-U closes. "Enthusiasm for the game is higher and more general this year than it has ever been before." said Kennedy, in speaking of th coming events. "We may not have any more players out on th floor than before, but we will certainly have a larger gallery, as everyone is taking an Interest this year. "Hlnce the Omaha club has been closed for the purpose of redecorating It many of the men of that club who generally spent some spare drr.o there have spent mora time at the Racquet club. We also hav a number ot tha local army officers who have Joined this season. We may find players among them. , "Of course It takes a pretty active man to play squash, as It is a lively game. It Is Just as hard as entering a ring and en gaging in a boxing match, the only dif ference being that the players In squash are punching a ball instead of punching each other. It takea a man with a real prisefighter's punch to play squash." IN DRY BELT OF OKLAHOMA The Harvest Field of the Boetleager ad the Paradise of the Bllad IMar. When a "Joint" Is raided In Oklahoma the distress signal Is hurried to the source of supply by a "wireless" system known only to the wholesaler and the "Joint" keeper, and before the confiscated liquor has been delivered at headquarters, or haa been destroyed In the streets of the town, a fresh supply is hurried to the "joint" from the secret storehouse ot tha whole saler, who Is enabled, under "th best prohibition law ever written," to reap a rich harvest, without paying a penny rev enue into th city or state treasury, though the courts are made to grind for his clientele, likewise without cost to them. The Oklahoma "bootlegger'.' does not enter the business in a haphaaard manner. If he happens to be the koeper of a "Joint" ot any pretensions he bas his guards on duty at every step of the way. I'her are "Joints" without number In Ok lahoma City, for Instance, where "look outs" have been placed aa far as a block away from the place, and arranged In tiers, as It were, close to the entrance. When an officer presents an appear ance, or If a "suspicious" character heaves into sight, the "lookout" gets busy. By a simple system of prearranged signals the approsch of the anamy is announced at the "Joint" long before his shadow casta itself before. A gallant tip of the hat to an Imaginary acquaintance, the llTtlng of a finger, the waving ot a bit of paper these are but a few of tha signals successfully employed by the "lookouts" ot every well regulated "Joint" in Okla homa City. By meana of theae signals an officer is many times saved tha trouble of a raid. Tha joint keeper destroys his stock when th danger algnala point to certain trouble ahead. A push button Is arranged in many cases, ao that When th disiresb signal continues to coin "down the lln ' the "lookout" nearest the throne can give the "hurry up" signal, which means de struction to the stock ot th "Joint." The signal prevents the possibility of an ar rest, and, even though ths stock is lost or confiscated, it msy bs quickly replen ished, and the cost is but a drop In the bucket to what the license would be foi the conducting of a iigitimat business.

It Is natural to "doctor " the spot that hurts, and it ia quite right to use liniments, hot appli cations, etc., to get temporary relief from a painful joiut or swollen tendon; but Rheumatism is not a skin disease, and such things, wheu depended on alone make one careless, and the dis ease gets a firmer hold on the blood.
