CREIGHTON PLAYS UNI
OF OMAHA SATURDAY
Owing to the cancellation of their game
with South Dakota Mines, Crelghton will
rut on a strictly local contest Saturday
afternoon., when they play omana uni
versity. This Is the first contest be
tween these schools, and it will probably
establish relationship and make this an
annual event
Coach Miller' men are now In fine
trim, and It now begin to appear as
though his bunch was caught napping
In the opening of the season. They dis
played real foot ball against Yankton
last week, and outplayed their opponent
In several departments, but were unable
to break away with mora than a tie.
Coach Miller seem to hav inreciea
some of that foot ball snap into them.
Their aim Is now focused on Morning
side, who seem mor than usually strong
this year, and not Oil then will Crelghton
be able to surmise the probabl outcome
of such a babble as Marquett. oppon
ent of the near future.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1.-Raln today
caused another postponement of th
playing of the fourth game between
Philadelphia and New York for the
world's base ball championship. The .
grounds wvre in a sjgy condition and.
as a light rain was falling, the umpire
called up the members of the National
commlHSlon in New York und Informed
them of conditions. It was decided to
call off the game for loday and it will
be played here tomorrow if weather con
ditions permit. .
V hon the postponement was announced
there wire nearly 1.000 perrons around
Shibe park hoping that the rain would
cease and thst the game would be piayed.
Death has entered the family of one of
the Philadelphia players, but It will not
break up the combination. Reuben Old
ring, the Philadelphia centerfieldor. was
notified today that his s.'ster. Lillian
Oldrlnsc, had difd last night In Mount
Vernon. N. V. She had been ill since
July and the announcement of her death
was not unexpected, but at the same tlm
It was a shock to him.
"My first Impulse was to Jump to New
York," said Oldrjng today, "but consid
ering the matter calmly I have decided
to stick to the team It may seem
ttrsnee for me to plaj- base ball with my
slr'.ed dea, but 1 can do her no good,
a. d ut thU critical stase of the world's
idles I feel I had better remain wu.i
the team."
Oldrlng will go to New York today and
expects to be back for tomorrow's game.
In case Oldrlng later decides not to
play In one or any of the games fitrunk
will play center field, fitrunk Is a good
substitute. He played In four of t..e
world's serie's games last year, making
five hits and scoring two runs, his bat
ting average being .278.

States Steel corporation will cancel Its
lease of the Greet Northern ore prop

kind' which the corporation holds. The

confirmed sfter business hours from of
