Hor ace, the figurehead of trys National league affairs In Philadelphia, according to the critics In that staid town, is a dead cook In the pit. It Is claimed thff he will be relieved of the executive by the stockholders, even should the Na tional league fall to take action on the many wild utterances of this disgruntled manager. Charles W. Murphy, after even years of unqualified success in Chicago, has evidently drawn down about his ears the wreck of a mighty ball club. Murphy and Fogel have been the hear- tlest disorganizes that have been seen in the game for many years. The owner of the Cubs has shown . himself the "hardest loser" of history. In seven years he has won four pennants, two world s chaoipionshlps and In the other three starts was nipped right at the wire -in 1909 by the Pirates and the last two seasons by McGraw's champions His Investment In the-West Plde has yielded doubtless the greatest return of modern base ball. The club cost him just HOJ.0M and, according to Frank Chance, Murphy has run that sum well over the million dollar mark from net earnings. Murphy has never had a bad season, yet , evi dently he cannot stand prosperity. Merphr's Worst Break. Murphy has been guilty of many ques tionable acts, but he never showed such ingratitude as when he discharged his peerless manager, Frank Chance. Chance has been responsible for Murphy's great financial achievements. Few managers have ever carved out such proud records. Even this season with a Joke pitching staff he remodeled a team that looked fit for the scrap heap and put up such a grand fight against fearful odds that until almost the very end of the cam paign the Windy City threatened New fork's peace of mind. And for his pains he was turned down cold, kicked out practically from a hospital cot. The dismissal of Chance would In any svent have bespoken Ingratitude un paralleled In major league history, but the mean manner in which Murphy went about it made him appear even more knavish than usual. Casting about for some alibi to, sooth his wounded pride in the loss of the pennant, Murphy finally conceived the brilliant idea of Hying it all to "demon rum." He said that the Cubs had "boosed" away the pennant and that Chance and his men would have to sign contracts with anti-drink clauses Chance at the time was convalescing from an operation for the removal of a blood dot on the brain. He was a very sick man, but he refused to stand for C. W. Murphy's insinuation, He hurried from New fork to Chicago and a stormy scene followed with the babbling little potentate. The result was a great split, naturally. . Chan a Cktesugo Idol. Frank Chance declares he will not stand for any Interference from Murphy, unless he Is given unconditional release. In which event the peerless leader will ao eept en of three or four offers from astern club, in the meantime the gal lant aggregation which he has welded together at the West Side is very likely to go to seed. Chance Is an idol to his men and a great here in Chicago. The players have been sore at Murphy for a long time. This latest slight to their leader see ma to have absolutely de moralised the club. Joe Tinker Is slated to sucoeed Chance, but It Is doubtful if he will accept. Whoever gets the Job will deserve great pity. He'll have to build up an entirely new' outfit for the Chance machine without Chance's guiding hand would be but a shadow of former Cub ability. Before Murphy pulled his last fatal blunder, the Cubs looked a sure pennant contender for 1913, Murphy is doubtless responsible for all Horace Fogel's troubles and they are many as the sands of the seashore. In faet It looks as If Horace may retire permanently within the near future. If he does not do so voluntarily the National league may help him to, decide on a life of peace and solitude. Fogel has In sulted the most ssored Institutions of base ball's organisation by Insinuating against the honesty of the national pastime. He has charged Tom Lynch with deliberately throwing the pennant to New Tork through umptratlcal In justices. It seems time for Fogel to be made to prove his charges by the board of directors of the 'National league, or to be thrown out of organised base ball. Fosl Only Flararehead. As a matter of fact, everyone connected with organised base ball knows quite well that Horace Fogel Is simply an instru ment of Charles W. Murphy. Charles P. Tart is the power behind the throne both in Chicago and in Philadelphia. These Cubs and Quakers are closely allied in financial interests. That was proven laet fall when by mistake Horace Fogel en closed a financial statement of his club s affairs, intended for Murphy, In a letter addressed to August Herrmann. Mur phy is said never to have forgiven Horace for this stupendous "bone." Those close to the situation declare that Murphy has been responsible for all the wild ravings of Horace. ' They believe that Fogel has bn tricked Into incriminating himself so that Murphy would be rid of the pain ful duty of taking an official head. Mur phy has said far more than Fog A. only he was wise enough never to ray It in black and white. He always has vaserved that Old alibi: "I was misquoted." AU of which again revives the old question: "Is the world's series worth all the scandal?" Tear after year the after clap becomes more serious. And all be- cause of a very few unsportsmanlike pro moters who cannot take defeat gracefully. Baee bull Is the only clean sport left and It seems nothing short of crime to have public confidence Impaired 'by a few "tin hqrns." Better far to use the knife before the canker 'eats Into the heart of the pro fession. Until such men as Fogel and Murphy are either driven out of the game or silenced for good the strong foun dations of the great summer pastime will be menaced. gf-i--g 1 1 I . ; . - J Getting Ready for the Annual Clash (2 fii !. , .

VOLGAST TO TAKE ON RITCHIE Decides on Willie as Opponent for ThanksgiTlng Day Battle. , PASSES MAHDOT AND EXVERS Rttehle Ha Beea Steadily Improv- lac Slaee He Met Wolffast May, When tae ; Champ . ;. . Floored Him Twice. . .', NEW TORK. Oct 12.-After giving considerable thought to the matter, Ad Wohrast has decided upon Willie Ritchie in preference to Joe Mandot or Joe Rivers for his opponent at 'Frisco on Thanksgiving day. Of the trio of light weights who are hard upon his heel Ritchie is probably the most olever, but the least rugged. Quite likely this was the deciding factor that Influenced Wot-' gaat in making his selection. WolmiBt nut Ritchie to the test In-a four-round bout laet May and scored two knockdowns, although it was the cham pion's first outing since recovering from, hla nne.ra.tlon. At that. Ritchie's superior boxing skill enabled him to secure a draw. But Wolgst has Jlttle.fear of the light-hitttna- boxer, no matter how clever. He figures that his rushing attack will l- ways wear down1 men of the Rucwe Hrn." '.Re far this figuring has been cor rect, as be amply demonstrated against Owen Moran, Frankle Burns and others whose superior skill was unable to -stave off the knockout punch at the end. : Champion May Be Back. , n.,t thwn la a Question whether the champion still retains his full quota of stamina since his operation.' At least, none of his bouts since his Illness -has serv ed to demonstrate that he is as good as ever. Since Rivers was so easily de feated by Joe Mandot recently, the champion's narrow escape from losing to tht, Mexican takes on added significance. All reports of the battle agreed that Wol- gast was not the man of old in many respects.'- " '" ' ' Ritnhi naa been Improving steadily since he met tWIolgast In that four-round trvnnt. Me outDolnted Mandot at New Orleans, and did It In a manner that left no doubt of his superiority. Unless Wol gast gets over a few crushing swings in the early part of the battle he may him self be the first on to weaken. Ritchie Is exceptionally clever on the defense, and WoWcast will have to be little 'short of his best Itl order te pierce the Call. fornlan's guard with a decisive blow. If the bout goes the limit Ritchie looks to have more than an even chance of get ting the decision:. CORNHDSKERS READY rORWILY GOPHERS (Continued from Page One.) ; - Loral for Sale. Hurry ljrd.

Big Birds Pat In an 'Appearance Good Bass Are Looked For- Mrs. Stewart Aeeompaates ' Her Hnsband. Despite the faet that nearly everyone has complained more;' or less about the rainy weather of last week, there Is one clan of the human specie In Nebraska who have embraced the dampsome days with open srms. They are the son? of Nimrod, who know, that on the heavy rain laden air hundreds of the feathered web-footed fowl are hurrying toward the south and the dinner table.. Duck shooting should from all ctlinatlcal standpoints be at Its very' best, and from the reports that have been coming in from ' all parts of the state this Is the true condition of af fairs. - ; ' .-. , ' - ' '.-.-.;-Terterday . saw a number of hunters father, together their game ' garnering utensils and hike to the lakes, marshes and shallow rivers of the state. The . big ducks are ' ad vancing - from the cooler regions with a steadfastness that bodes for a good flight, though in all probability it will be a short one. When the big birds come, then cold weather is not far in their renr, and experienced sportsmen. who prefer them to the smaller ones, are aware of the fact and are making all possible haste to plan their outings- accordingly.- White geese and brant, the first of this family .to make: their ap pearance, have been seen in several local ities, although few have yet been killed, a sure sign of the net distant winter. The early fall shooting this year has probably; had more followers than the same season' of the last-two or three years, and while no great killings have been made, all sportsmen who have been out have had more or less good luck. The weather for the' most part has been pleasant, and what has not been made up in. the game bag has been more than balanced by outings under the most fa vorable kind of conditions. Chicken shooting, " from every stand point, ha been splendid, the birds have been thicker than the proverbial fly, and notwithstanding the scant number al lowed each man by the law, the sports men In general have no kick coming, as the majority have had Httle trouble In securing: Ihe limit. Opinion as to whether the chicken law is generous enough, Is a topic , of much discussion amongst tho shooters these days; some think the limit far too little, while the greater number are staunch supporters of the law. reason ing that this is the only way In which one of the grandest of American game birds may be saved from extinction. Anyway,' the enforcement of such a law is bound to have its good effect, it only In curbing the Insatiable, appetite of the gamehog, whose limit is the emptiness of his shell case." " , ' : ' " ; - ' : Nebraska, while probably , the best state in the union for the hunting of ducks and chicken, Is no slaughtering ground, and to preserve its reputation, laws which sometimes seem to restrlot . the hunter, are really benefits to him in the end., George Redick and Frank Haskell left yesterday afternoon for a two weeks duck hunt near Cody, ' Neb.- Both men have been out on short expeditions be fore this1 fall, but are making this trip the climax of their hunting for 1912.

Sobotker reoetved a telegram Thursday morning from the owner of the ranch where they stop stating .that the shooting cpuld not be Improved upon and to hurry along with his gang.

PALTU Minn., Oct l?.-(Sp6clal- The maroon and gold football aspirant -under -the able coaching of Dr. Williams, ! Sig Harris and Johnny McGovern,- ar being sent' through some strenuous praow ;. tice sessions these afternoons in preparn.1 tion for the game with the, Cornhuskersj next Saturday on Northrop field. The coaches, players, students a followers of the Gophers fully realise th( task which confronts' them In rounding! into shape an eleven that wjll be capable . t of holding Its own with the aggregation! ' that "Jumbo" Stlehm will place In the' field. Dr. Williams' cohorts showed great Improvement in last Saturday's game! with the Ames Aggies, but the team la still a long way from being a finished! machifte. On the contrary, it is, without I doubt, the greenest material that the veteran coach has had in eleven years from which to mold his eleven. . - - ! Paul Tobin, the only member of last season's conference champions, who Is back in school and is eligible, has been elected to fill the vacancy In he cap- talncy, which Clifford Morrel was forced, r 9& Ik V to relinquish when he was declared In-1 eligible by the board. Morrel received at. degree some time ago and, therefore 7 cannot compete under the conference-' . rules. ' f Jfo Longer Are Giants. It is the forwards that is causing th Gophers the greatest alarm, In .year past the uophers have usually beeh al- but this year it is a misnomer to refer 0 them as giants, as there are only two nlavera Who tin the heurn nvnr thn Iftl mark. Robertson, who is filing in aP-" center, weighs 190 pounds, while RosenA thai at right guard will go 195 pounds, V At tackles, Sol em and Shaughnessy have Tk made a fair showing. Solem formerly played an end on one of he Twin City High school elevens, and Is green at the tackle position. He Is a willing player, though, working hard at all times, and undoubtedly will develop Into a strong linesman before the season is over.; ShaughneMy Is of the fast, asresslva , type of linesman. His biggest handicap is lack of experience. Both Shaugtw nessy and Solem are apt pupils when It! comes to throwing or receiving the for- . ward pass. ' s . The guard positions have been the weakest places on the Gopher line. Dn, Williams has tried out some dozen can dldates to date, but has not yet be1 able to decide on the pair whom figures on for regulars. 'Rosenthal Joini the squad late, but . made - a favorable impression In the Ames contest. He ia likely to play the right guard in the Ne braska contest Sawyer and Idhle are -the most promising players for left guard. Raymond and Alsworth have been on the wing positions most of the time since the opening practice. Neither man is very - husky, both of i them weighing' . ' around the 150 mark. Tom Shevlln, the old Tale star, has taken hold of the wing men, and Is teaching them the fi$er points of the game. '- Much Backfleld Material. . Backfleld material Is a little more plen tiful than' line material. In Russell Tollefson, the old east high school half back, Dr.-Williams seems to have un- . covered another Harris or. McGovern. The light haired chap played his first game at quarter last Saturday and ran the team admirably. He calls his signal plainly, and gets ,his plays off, with precision. ."Tollle" Is also doing th ' booting. ,It was his dropklck which gave the Gophers their three points and vie- y tory In , the Aggie game. Captain Tobin la a bearcat at the full back position and can be depended upon to gain a yard or two, whenever called upon to carry the J ball. He Is a tower of strength to tlje . ' team on the defensive and backs up the line In great style. ' "Little" Hayward, McAlmon and EMail have been ' alternating at the halfback positions. All three men are lightning fast and If given the right kind of sup port from the line can be counted upon to make trouble for veteran Nebraskans. "Bee" Lawlea, a younger brother of Frank. Minnesota's greatest basket ball player, Is playing quarterback on tho scrubs and Is causing the first eleven all kinds of trouble. The youngster Is with out doubt the best punter on the squad, but his weight is proving a serious handi cap. Dr. Williams has always been the admirer of the big fellows, preferring Weight to speed.
