The result of the world' series, which lade the Athletics champions of the 'orld for the second time, brings out ytte forcibly the lesson that It Is a long nio between nuch top lino pitchers as lender and Mathewson. Six years ago fhen these two teams battled for su lemaey, thtse same two chiefs were the Jalnstays. While Connie Mack has In lie meantime developed some stcller oods he has got none better than Bender, d McGraw has never had MatheWaon eer. Such pitchers make up the "Cy" roungs, Mlner'Browns, Uathewaons and lenders of base ball ar aot so common, nu see, though there are lot of good nes now. But staying quality forms a est. We may , safely venture now thm ssertlon that most everybody knew be- renand tho Athletics would win. since hey did win. Well, wo believe that when i team Is developed to the point where he Athletic team la It can go for several rears, barring acoldenu, on Its own momentum. There seems to us no good eason now why Mack's men should not fin another American league pennant, hough It may require a greater effort nan they have yet had to exert, for with he Sox and soma more of them coming n aa they are, running should bo olose n that league in 1912. But tho Mackmen tiould be able to run along on their own peed like the Cube did. though far be i from us to venture that the Athletics oday are what the Cubs were, say in M7. Wo think It la fairly well admitted fiat tho Cubs then constituted base ball's ; re at est machine.

FIVE BEGULAR3 OUT OF GAME Drabblngr Ailmlnlsterril In Iea Moines i;iai Una Telllnsr Ef fect osi Physiques nt t rral Omaha Players. The Beatrice High school eleven. Omaha High's next opponents, are feared by the local lads and there Is ho chance whatever that the purple and white will walk away with an eusv vlctnrv. Tha Beatrice warriors hsve already been touted as state champions, and If they continue at the rate they have s'.srted Omaha will have no easy time in pulling off a victory. The local tesm at present Is In the weakest condition that It has been all season and Coach Burnett fears that a slump is about due and that It may corns before the Beatrice game. Up to the game with Des Moines West High on October 20 the team was In ex ceuem conamon ana everything was moving smoothly, bift after the terrific truggle with the fast West High eleven at the Drake university stadium they emerged badly crippled. Five of tho reg ulars were out of practice last wet-k. Dave Bowman, captain and right half, was not at school on account of ninpaa during the week and his place had to be filled by Crocker, who was shifted from left end. Crocker weighs but 130. but he makes up for his lightness Iiy his speed. Both tackles were out of practice during the week, Rachman with an Injured eye and Carlson on account of a dislocated shoulder. Carlson may not be able to play again until tho Bt. Joe game'on No vember 11. Heady for Umeritr uries. But Coach Burnett Is ready for such emergencies. All season he has been using extra meh on the line and In the back field, all for the purpose of getting up a mcahine which can be fitted up In good working order at any time when such a thing may bo necessary. Eighteen player have been carried on the first squad all season and each afternoon even' on of tho eighteen has been In hard scrimmage, it only for a few min utes. Some of thsm do not get Into the big games st the start but they may be called upon at the critical moment to Jump in and fill a hole. In a nutshell, Burnett Is not wasting his tlm perfect ing an oleven-man team, but rather an elghteen-man machine. However, the Omaha machine will be matched against another machine Satur day at Beatrice, which wilt bs fully as strong, equally as aggressive. In every wsy as cunning and Just as fast They will be pitted against a formidable aggre gation that has not yet lost a game .this season, and they will play in a town where foot ball is one of the all Important events of the day. Furthermore, Beatrice Is sll that stands in the way of Omaha's treading a clear Oldring Came The backbone of the Armv lovn. which met West Pont Saturday, October 11.

In fact, the game resolves Itself into the important game of the season, the real turning point of sm ces or failure. Biff Rowing Regatta is Being Promoted NKW YORK, Out. IS. Attention lias been attracted by a proposition that has been advanced by men prominent In the rowing world to hold a triple rowing re gatta of a week's duration In the next aquatic season. It Is proposed to hold the national regatta, at which the cham pionships for the year are decided, the Southwestern Rowing association regatta and the annual event of th Central States Rowing association In the one week. It Is further proposed to devote two days to each association. Predic tions are made that such a regatta would attract th largest and best rowing field that ever faced a starter. Whether such a monster regatta will be possible probably will be determined at the next meeting of th National As. oclatlon of Amateur Oarsmen, when the matter will form th chief subject of dis cussion. Th western member of th executive commltte of the association ar exerting every Influence on tho east ern representatives to hav them vote In favor of th proposition. 8uch a regatta. In Importance and else, rowing men state, would eclipse any rowing event In the history of the sport. Advocates of th proposition suggest that th tri-sssoclatlon regatta be held on Peoria lake at I'eoria. III. Tbn Con tral States regatta was held there this year. Th water condition wer ideal on th day of th rava. The local rowing ana canoe clubs had charge of th affair. They are lending their support to ths ef fort to hav th three associations com bing for a rowing carnival there next year.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-AI1 of the Pough- kecpsle crew ar now enggd In fall tialnlng. This I the wnrl; that coaches watch keenly so an to get a line on nmterlal out for places on varsity eights and fours. Cornell, as usual, m the (lrt to begin work outdoors. Coach Courtney had his men on the water shortly after tha owl. lege season opened, and by now ho has obtained a protty fair lda of th kind or material available for the next year' i'oughkeepsle crews. Coach Ward and his Quaker wer not far behind Cornell In beginning prelimi nary work. The Pennsylvania crews have progressed to such sn extent that very soon the veteran mentor will begin to Weed down hi large squad of candidates and pick his crews. The latest crew to take to the- ilver Columbia. Both Wisconsin and Syracuse may be termed the tardy ones, for these two colleges as yet have done very little work in th matter of preparing for next season. vuacnes nice, Courtney snd Ward all believe that the best Way to shape a crew Is to give the. candidates plenty of work in the full. And th only way to accom plish tlUs satisfactorily Is to get the men out as soon as possible. Uymnasiuih work niucnine auiing me winter are II very well in their way, but the only aatlsfactory way to test an oarsman's ability Is to put him In a boat and watch him row. A candidate oftentimes show fairly good form on th machines, but falls when fried out In a real boat. Ha must be a sweep-swinger to pull an osr properly in ths water. Coaches can often foretell a man's future worth by his fall river work. Five of these ai freshmen boats, two are dental, on architectural and three from th upper classes of tha college de partment. In tho law school ther ar a number of whom hav rowed on th vanity craw, but they have failed to turn out, with the result that a full sight has not been got together. It looks as If th lawyer would not b represented. Both Wisconsin and Syracuse ar handi capped by th fact that Interest In row ing is not as keen as at Columbia, Cor nell and Pennsylvania. Furthermora, coaches hav many disadvantage under which they ar forced to labor. Rowing doe not appear to hav gripped tb stu dent body at Wisconsin and Syracuse as much as foot ball and other sports. Ths coaches havs to continually stir up th nn before they ar able to get thera to come out for th crews.
