Chi earn End J
slates have been
rightfully entitled
to championship
consideration because of their general
play all fall. They have met and de
feated some ot the strongest teams in
their respective sections, but each
must be at the top of its game ou
Saturday to remain in the running.
Chicago, which Is represented by its
best eleven since 1913, when it won
its last Big Ten championship, will
clash with Illinois In the big home
coming game at Urbana. The Orange
and Blue eleven has been beaten by
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, but
always plays its best toot bail against
Chicago. The Maroons met Ohio
State yesterday, and if the men prove
to have come througn tne struggle
without serious injury, they should
make partial amends for the beatings
Illinois has given Chicago in recent
years.
. Stagg Has Ail-Around Squad.
The Maroon mentor has given his
team a ground-gaming close and
open attach. He has the men who
can perform the functions in -each
style of offense, and he can substi
tute at any time without weakening
his eleven. He f has weight and
poww in the line, three sterling ends
in Crisler, Halladay and Strohmeier,
and backfield men away above the
average.
Wisconsin will attempt to keep its
slate clean by clashing with Michi
gan at Madison. The game will be the
first between foot ball elevens of the
two institutions since 190S, when the
Wolverines were victors, 12 to 0. The
Badgers have played sparkling foot
ball all season with the exception of
their game with Illinois. The Cardi
nal players then performed in rather
listless fashion, but managed to win
by a comfortable margin.
Iowa,' which gives indication of
Completing its schedule without a
defeat, and thus tying .for Big Ten
honors with any other unbeaten
conference eleven, will play Indiana
on the latter's gridiron. If the Hawk
eyes win this game and there is
every reason to believe they will if
they play their customary brand of
loot ball they will .enter the final

slate clean,

to give Coach Wilce's outfit an in
teresting game. This, however, is
only a possibility, as Ohio appears
decidedly the stronger eleven on
past permances.
Minnesota and Northwestern have
no games scheduled, but each will
put in the day at hard practice for
the final contests on the Saturday
following. The Gophers will- close
their season with Michigan at Ann
Arbor, while Northwestern will en
tertain Iowa at Evanston.
Notre Dame will meet the Haskell
Indians on its gridiron in a game
which Coach Rockne's eleven should
win. Although the Hoosier eleven
was beaten by Iowa early in the
season, the team recovered from the
defeat and won from Nebraska and
-Indiana and put up a great game
against the Army at West Point
yesterday. Following the week-end
game, Notre Dame will meet Mar
quette at Milwaukee on November
19, and close with the Michigan Ag
gies at South Bend on Thanksgiv
ing day.
Princeton at Yale. v
In the east, interest will center
around the struggle between Prince
ton and Yale in the bowl at New
Haven. The Tigers met Harvard
yesterday and the result of that game
will have a serious bearing on the
outcome of the week-end contest at
Yale. The Blue has been playing
consistent foot ball all season, and
has shown improvement in each suc
cessive game.
While the Tigers and Blue are
engaged in battle, Harvard will take
on Brown in its last game before
tackling Yale at Cambridge on No
vember 19. Yale already has beaten
Brown, 45 to 7.
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth will
clash in New York. Penn State will
tackle the Navy at Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh and Washington and Jef
ferson will meet in the Smoky City
in other games of eastern impor
tance. Winter Golf Season

New York Boxing
Once Manager
By HARRY NEWMAN.
Every boxing fan in New York
knows the handsome gray-haired
man who is down front at every
how directing operations on behalf
of the boxinc commission. They
know that he is Thomas O'Rourke, a
member of that body, and they know
e is there to see there are no viola
tions of the boxing laws.
But how many 'present day ring
fans remember that same gentleman
as Tom O'Rourke, the dapper, fiery
Tom, who nearly a quarter of a cen
tury ago handled and directed the
tfairs of two ot the greatest fighters
that ever drew on the gloves?
.How many fans today can go back
far enough to remember Tom,
perched in the corner, directing every
campaign of the great George Dixon,
probably the greatest bantam that
ever lived; and how many fans of
the present time can remember when
Tom O'Rourke was in there driving
Joe Walcott along against Kid La
vigne in the bitterest fight of all ring
time?
Old Type of Manager.
Torn O'Rourke may have lost
some of his speed since those sweet
days, but he is just as enthusiastic
about boxing now as he was in the
days when he handled those two
great boxers. O'Rourke is a mem
ber of the old school, a type that is
fast disappearing. This silver thatch
ed fellow was a driver' of his man in
the ring. He mapped out the fight
for his charges and assumed every
esponsibihty : if anything went
wrong, but things rarely went wrong
with Thomas.
In George Dixon Tom probably
had the most wonderful colored boy
that ever measured punches with an
opponent. O'Rourke handled the af
fairs of the little chocolate for years,
and if Tom ever made a mistake dur
ing that time it was when he sent the
game little fighter into the same ring
with Terry McGovern.
Pilot of Joe Wolcott
The old fans surely remember Joe
Walcott, the giant killer. It will also
be easv for the old-timers to recall
how O'Rourke startled the boxing
world, when he offered to match
Walcott, only a welterweight, against
the heavyweight champion of the
world, who happened to be none oth
er than Jim Corbett
Ihere never was any response
from Corbett, but to show that he
was in earnest about his challenge.
O'Rourke sent the undersized Wal
cott against the tall and mighty Joe
Choynski, and how the fight world
shuddered when the smaller, but
gorilla-like Walcott knocked the
great Choynski kicking in a few
rounds.
We couldn't help but think of the
sweet long ago as we watched Tom
at one of the fight clubs the other
n:ght. It seems like yesterday, but
it's many years ago since that night
in Masoeth when Tom handled the
same Walcott in that never to be
foreotten fight against Kid Lavigne.
What a fight that was! It was a
handicap affair. Walcott had to knock
with Hal Boy in 1915. That year
he drove him to victory in $20,000
worth of stakes at the World's fair
at San Francisco. The animal was
owned by Ed Peterson of Omaha.
During the season, Childs cleaned
up $30,000 and sold him at the close
of the season for $12,000 to a banker
t Indianapolis.
The first year he raced the animal
in 1914 he won $11,000 in the Ca
nadian circuit.
Mediocre Performer.
This pacing sensation was only a
mediocre performer when Childs
first mounted a sulk behind him.
After Childs sold him, the . pacer
never finished first in more than two
or three races.
Ben Earl was, one of the -fastest
animals Childs ever drove. He .gave
the horse his 2-.0VA mark. In 1917
he won $18,000 with him, overturn
ing the pool pot at Cleveland several
times.
When Childs enlisted in the army,
the animal was sold, and he, too,
dropped into obscurity.

Walcott Afraid to Quit.
Never before or since was such a
battle seen. Walcott cut the white
boy to ribbons in the early rounds,
but the wonderful Lavigne stuck to
his guns and nearly killed Walcott
before the fifteenth round was turn
ed1 in.
Walcott wanted to quit, but
O'Rourke threatened to take his life
if he did not stick, and stick he did.
Not because he wanted to, but be
cause he feared the wrath of the
rough going O'Rourke, who ' was

Busy Season for
Indoor Trackmen
New York Cty to Be Scene of
Many Meets This
Winter.
New York. Nov. 5. With the
6utdoor track and field events ended,
the indoor meets will get the atten
tion of the track followers, and a
very busv season is being planned,
particularly in New York City. Last
year the meets came so fast that
the athletes complained ot not
enough rest between and it will
probably be the same this winter.
Applications have been made to
the A. A. U. for dates, which take
ui nearly every Saturday night,
starting November 26 until tlie lat
tefpart of March. And there will
be midweek games also.
This is only for Brooklyn and
Manhattan clubs, so that when the
Newark and other Jersey organiza
tions file their dates together with
choice events out of the Metropolis
on district, it will be found that a
busy season is ahead of the board
runners.
This year should prove a banner
one indoors. The meets held during
the summer showed greater interest
than ever before through the num
ber of entries, which in turn was
caused a great deal by the national
championships being held in Cali
fornia. A long trip for a cham-
pionshio seems to bring out more
aspirants than when the meet is to
be held at home.

1 Woods and
Quail Shooting.
Reports from many localities in
the state say that Quail are Quite
plentiful. Two successive mild win
ters and three good nesting seasons
have multiplied the Bob White
coveys by the score. In Indiana and
Illinois there hasn't Been such an
abundance of quail in years. This is
cheering news, considering the fact
that isob White as a rule has a pretty
hard time of it. What with pot shot-
ters, deep snows, and of late years
intensive agriculture, which has
meant the destruction of weed
patches and brush, quail are finding
it increasingly difficult to get along.
Probably no other American game
oira is so generally well known as
the Bob White. It is widely dis-
triDutea over the United Mates, east
of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, and is said to be gradually
extenaing its range. It has been in
troduced m several western states,
much to the joy of hunters. Even
as far as . Oregon and Utah this
handsome little game bird has be
come fairly abundant, apparently lik
ing its new surroundings, where the
climate; and food are congenial.
Qual are sociable birds. Although
they do not travel about in large
numbers, they get together in coveys
which are big enough to make he
shooting game a sporty proposition.
It would be difficult to pick a more
ideal game bird than Bob White. -He
is delicious eating; speedy on the
wing (as a quail is good for about
75 feet a second), and then, too. he
lies close to cover. Few game birds
will rise nearer the gun than the
quail, and this habit makes.it pretty
easy for the novice, who is looking
for some comparatively easy shots.
Another attraction about . quail
hunting is the fact that it means both
open, and brush shooting. Early in

you can shoot 12 birds a day, but it
is against the law to have more than

time. No. 7y2 or 8 chilled shot are

in
Statistics compiled by an eastern
doneatcr show that when the curtain
fell on the tnaior league base ball
races in 1921, the greatest carnival
of homcrun hitting within the mem
ory of the modern fan passed into
history. In the season just closed
the sluggers of the American and
National leagues smashed out fi4
drives which netted them the round
trip.
Ihese fmures loom up impressive
ly when on recalls the fact that since
the Johnson circuit obtained a major
league rating, the greatest number
of homeruns made in a single season
prior to 1921 was 631, made in 1920,
while several seasons have seen less
than 400 circuit drives made in both
leagues. The American league slug
gers contributed 4 during
against 370 in 1920, while the Nation
al league had a total of 457 against
261 last season.
Lively Ball Blamed.
The slugging began in April,
reached the high-water mark in July,
and then fell off somewhat to the end
of the season, and there are thou
sands who can not be convinced that
the "lively bull" did not have some
thing to do with this despite all offi
cial denials.
The following gives the figures for
each team by months:
National Leacue New Tork. 74:
Plttbur&, 17; Bl. l.ouls, S3, Hoaion, 61;
Brooklyn, 6; Cincinnati, 20; Chicago, 37:
1'hlladelphla, 86: total. 457.
American Leaaue New Tork. 134:
Cleveland, 42; HI. Louie, 7; Detroit, in;
Washington, 42; Boaion, 17; Chicago, 31;
Philadelphia, 88; total, 477.
From the team standpoint, the feat
of the New York Americans in
pounding out 134 circuit drives is
the most remarkable. This set a new
team record for the American league,
breaking the mark of 115 set by the
Yankees a vear aeo. and tying the
National league, credited to the Chi
cago team in 1884.
Some Hard-Hitting Roster.
The Yankees who contributed to
this record-breaking stunt and the
number of home runs made by each
follow: Ruth, 59; Meusel, 24; Baker,
9; Pipp, 8; Peckinpaugh, 8; Schang,
6; Ward, 5; Miller, 4; Roth, 2; Mays,
2: Hawkes, 2; McNally, bhawkey,
Hoffman, Fewster and Quinn, 1
each.
The Athletics in a game against
Detroit June 3 rapped out seven
home runs, and these, added to one
made by Detroit, broke the Ameri
can league record for most home
runs in a single game, falling one
short of the mark in the older league,
however. The men who made this
record were: Welch. 2: Dykes, 2; C.
Walker, Perkins and Dugan of .the
Athletics and Blue of Detroit.
Benny's Title Not
In Any Danger
New York. Nov. 5. Lisrhtweieht
Champion Benny Leonard is in
training for another campaign in the
ring, but it looks as though good
opponents for him will be decidedly
scarce. Neither Rocky Kansas nor
Lew Tendlcr have shown anything
to give Leonard cause for alarm.
Kansas never was taken seriously
m the recent bout,
but if Tendler had
defeated him de
cisively - t'h e r e
would have been
a country-wide de
mand for Leonard
to meet the Phila
d e 1 j h ia n in a
o h a m p i o n s hip
match. The size
of the crowd that
attended the bout
showed that the
fans were interest

rirncriDfto , TP l-i a
JrasYii;iMy). had made good a
match with Leonard would have
been a tremendous attraction.
In that case there is no doubt
that Leonard would not have al
lowed his dislike for Tendler to in
terfere with the opportunity to rake
in a fortune. - .
It is evident that Tendler is not
as good as he was a year ago. At
the present time he is just a fair
lightweight without a particularly
brilliant future before him.
As far as Kansas is concerned, he
would have even less chance with
Leonard. Tendler at least has plenty
of speed, but Kansas has nothing
but a rugged physique. I hat he re
ceived the v?rdict over Tendltr does
not prove anything. Tendler, with
all his faults, showed himself to
possess more "class." Although the
Philadelphian seems to be going
back, he is younger than Kansas and
probably wil be boxing long after
Xansas is through.
Western Tennis Play ,
To Run Up Points
New York, Nov. 5. Much of the
foot ball which is played in the
western conference brings into ac
tion passing of the ball and the kick
ing of field goals under certain
conditions. The touchdown is rated
as highly in the west as it is in the
east, but to obtain a touchdown by
forcing the defending team to give 1
ground ana retreat, no matter now
manfully the defenders retreat, is
not accounted by tlje newer genera
tion as something to be achieved
against a touchdown which may be
made by an accurate pass, or against
two touchdowns by passing.
Despite the fact that foot ball has
been opened widely as compared
with the play in other years there 1
is nothing to this day in which Har-
vard or Yale or Princeton takes
more pride than in a touchdown
which is made by sheer stress of ,
strength over a traditional opponent, j

to spread these suspicions chose
particularly unfortunate (for them
selves) time to do it, because they
told the rest of the base ball world
how little they knew about base ball
and its dope. The season's figures
gave them the laugh, and so did the
rooters.
Factions in American League.
Every one who remembers last
winter knows that there exists at
least a fighting alliance between the
owners of the Chicago, Boston, and
Mew York clubs in the American
league, and also that the other five
club owners in the Ban Johnson cir
cuit feel a natural bitterness at the
attempt of the other three to wreck
the younger league by threatening
to combine with the National to
form a 12 club circuit.
It probably is true that the owners
of the Cleveland, St. Louis, Detroit,
Philadelphia, or Washington clubs
would rather take a surplus player
out back of the grandstand and shoot '
him than to give him to Coiniskey,
Frazee or Colonel Huston, unless
an overwhelming advantageous
trade could be framed for said play
er with one of the three "insur
gents." j
Players Not Affected.
That is as far as the club owners'
enmity or friendship can go. how
ever. It cannot reach the diamond
or affect the players of any team.
If there were any suspicions to the
contrary, engendered by the unin
formed scribes last month, it was
among fans not acquainted with the
season's records. If Comiskey and
Frazee, for instance, had desired to
have ' the New York Yankees, in-
stead of Cleveland, win the American
league pennant, they did not so In
form their players. ' That's a cinch.
For the White Sox and Red Sox did
more to keep New York almost out
of the world's series, and almost put
Cleveland into it, than could have
been possible if the clubs were in
fluenced by their club owners'
wishes. "
Comiskey and the two New York
colonels, Ruppert and Huston, are
pals. No doubt of that Neither fs
there any doubt that the White Sox
licked the tar out, of the Yankees in
every series in which they met.
