Already about a doien mole skln aggregations have been mustered together and by neat Sunday the dop tera predict that twenty-five teams will be ready for trouble. There has been some loquacious stuff floetin? around relative, to organising foot ball asso ciation something on the order of the base ball association, but said talk will, nerer tnatertnllie un'ess the main man agers change their thought reservoirs, because the majority are opposed to an organisation of a-y kind which will gov rn their players and schedule their games. ' The Columbian, the foot ball exponents that won tho championship last season, will be hark en the turf Tlth a firm determination to d ipl'rale last year's re markable record. They decisively trim med every Omaha team and the Omaha ongregatl r.s failed to roll up point gainst them. MeCormlrk will certain the champion and Frank Qulj'ey will hold the niftnag-rlnl reins. They will be ready for arguments by next Sunday. I'nr'.t R.sitr f.ir War, ' For several weeks the Monmouth Parks hare been practicing and thry are now ready to meet all comers. This team is always in the limelight fighting for the championship, but for the last four years it . has to be satisfied with sec ond place. Bill Undmler will nvinim this band. For games call him at Web ster 9032, or addresa 3304 Orand avenue. Captain Hal Blackman, the demon ren ter, will be on deck with his famous Ath letics, and under hla tutorship they should make noise like champions. They fought the Monmouth Parks and Colum bians a tough race last season, and, ac cording to Blackman, they are going to oop the honors this year. las B Champa Back.

With the stsr pitchers back In shape, and with the team as a whole playing wonderful- base ball, Pittsburgh, In the opinion of the critics, has the "edgo" over Its four rivals Chicago, St. Louis, Newark and Kansas City. The wonderful management by Rebel Oakea of a one-time "joke" ball club, and hla great work as a player, have been the main factors In the success of the Rebels. But nobly aiding and abet ting him have been Captain Ed Konetchy, regarded as one of the greatest first baseman In base ball, and onoe a member of tha Cardinals and Pirates; Wave Yerkes, hero of the Wi world series, when he played with Boston; Frank Al len, the southpaw twlrler, with the Dodg ers last year; Elmer Knetser, a pitching star In tha old league and even a fiasnier performer In the new, and Cy Barger, once a twlrler for Charles Hsroolas Eb bets.

McFarland weighed In at 147 pounds for Gibbons. It was an unnatural weight for him nearly ten pounds ovsr his normal poundage, at which hs Is unbeatable. Against Gibbons, Packey showsd all of his vaunted cleverness. At, times hs mads Mike appear like the veriest novics, making the St Paul Flash miss punches by many feet Of course, Packey was not lightning fast In bis movements: but that was not to be expected of Packey McFarland after a two-year layoff, and ten superfluous pounds on his person. What Impressed us most however, was Packer's willingness to fores the fight toward the doss. Ha showed a stout heart when ha plunged headlong at Gib bons, even after the fit Paul wonder had penetrated his guard with stiff punches. It was just Paoksy'a Irish pbcli,snd bull dot tenacious ness that Impelled him to keep after Gibbons, oven when the tide was turning against htm. Paokey was weary lad at the end of the tan rounds, but if ho oould endure tea bristling rounds against Gibbons It Is a sinecure that be could show up In much better form against fighters in ferior to this Gibbons person. And they are la tha majority. Hla Best Weight. Krw, again, Packey would be almost In his best fighting trim at 147 pounds ringside end he can make that notch easily and keep at It if he thought it would bring him a championship. There is po man in the country that oould beat MoFarland at this weight; so if 147 pounds ringside Is adoptsd as the legitl tnats welterweight standard, McFarland would be declared the champion of that class by acclamation, and there would be none to dispute his right to ths title. , (For Chicago) McFarland takes um brage at several things we said about his match with Gibbons, wherein we men tioned Mrs. MoFarland as the real "boss" of the -MoFarland household. Paokey does not wish to havs his better half connected In any way with his ring af fairs, and wa take this means of express ing our regret to Packey. We won't do it again, Paokey, hot . Ws understand that It waa Mrs.0 Mo- Farland's wish that the Gibbons affray be raoksya last effort in the rooed arena, we asked If hs Intended to con tinue la the gaips if successful against Gibbons, and Packey replied that he might Remember that afternoon at the Bhel- bourne. Pa ok? We thought surely you would penetrate our disguise; but we did not dare reveal our Identity after all those threats yea mads against us for "writing thssa nasty articles."

MILES WILL PLAY AT 0.TJAETEB AXNAPOIJH, Md., Sept 86. The main squad of Naval Academy foot ball play ers are now at practice. Though thsy will have bat one week to prepare for the opening game, whloh will be against Georgetown on October 2, It Is bettered that a well prepared eleven oan ba pat In the field by that time. This belief Is based on tha number of tumerteaoed mea available and the unusual amount of work done during the winter aad surlna. Besides .aa unusually large number of likely mea la the new class are available. Early last winter many of tha foot ball man, who were available, took up light practice, whlla others were engaged In some other line of athletics, which kept them In condltoa. During tha spring a number of the foot ball mea rowed or played base ball or lacrosse, but as the different sports finished their seaaoa the foot ball men reported to Lieutenant In gram, the head coach, for foot ball Work. Toward the close of the season hs had the entire foot ball squad for some time. As soon as the now class formsd ths foot ball men worked out twice a weeK, and for three weeks past dally practlco has been the rule. Thus the squad is mors ready to get dowa to real foot ball than any previous squad in the history of ths aoademy. Miles, who captains the team this so' son, naturally . will be at quarterback. Toward the close of last season his work enabled him to displace such a sterling player as Mitchell In that position. Hi Is strong and fast handled the team well, and developed- Into a brilliant runner with the ball.
