Gnu-It Howard Jonei of Iowa
ItrporU Most Promising
Machine lie Hat
Ever Had.
By WALTER ECKERSALL.
A number of football game will
It played on Saturday which will
be of interest to thoe who have
been eager for the season to get
under way. Although reports have
Leen coming out of the various
tampi for a week or more, a general
idea of the caliber of men who are
trying for positions will be known
after Saturday's struggles.
Thete contests will attract unusu
al interest because some of the
teams will meet those of the middle
wot in important interactional
r'aihes later in the year'. Although
Yale went into action against Bates
yesterday, the lllue eleven will be
given a further test next Saturday
when it will meet Carnegie Tech,
coached by Walter Stcffen, a former
Chicago player who has been elected
to the supreme court bench.
On October 14 Old Eli will en
tertain Iowa, 1U1 champion of the
western conference. As a general
rule, Yale is pretty well representa
tive of the caliber of football as
played siting the Atlantic seaboard.
Its prospects are said to be better
than usual this fall and Coach Tad
Jones is the mentor who can get
results if given the material.
Iowa Squad Looks Good.
Coach Howard Jones of Iowa is
credited with a statement that he
has the best looking squad since he
has been at the Hawkeve institution.
men gave promise in spring
football practice and to those who
know him he would not have slated
the game with Brother Tad's eleven
unless he was sure he had material
for an eleven which would be near
ly as strong as last year's champion
ship team. With both teams almost
certain to be representative of their
respective sections, this contest will
attract more than the casual interest
surrounding early intcrsectional
games.
Not only will the general play of
the Yale veterans be watched closely
by Iowa supporters and those who
want the midwert eleven to win, but
the 'reserve strength shown by Old
Kli will not be overlooked. It is only
a matter of football history to cite
the games which Yale has won by
throwing so many men into the
comnar.
Expects to fie Handicapped.
In fact Iowa is expected to be
handicapped in this respect. Coach
Jones of Iowa can only take a lim
ited number of men east. He will
try to keep his best players in the
battle as long as possible. On the
. "her hand Jones of Yale will have
so many men of about equal caliber
that he can make numerous substi
tutions without apparently weaken
ing the offensive and defensive
f strength of his team.
General play of Carnegie Tech will
also be followed by a certain few in
the middle west, including Notre
Dame alumni. On November 25
Coach Knute Rockne will take his
Notre Dame eleven to Pittsburgh to
meet Carnegie Tech in what is ex
pected to be an interesting game.
Coach Steflen has generally been
successful in developing teams which
improve as the seasons grow older.
Although his team may not make a
reditable showing against Yale next
Saturday, the eleven will be at its
best when Notre Dame is met.
Frinceton, which will come west
for a return engagement with Chi
cago on Stagg field October 28, will
receive its baptism of fire on Satur
day bv meeting Johns Hopkins on
he Tiger gridiron. The Maronn
rrinccton combat will be among the
'mportant intcrsectional struggle of
the year, and the form dirplayed by
Bill Roper's eleven on the week end
and its successive battles will be fol
lowed closelv. Frinceton has lost
some star phyers, ami the Tiger
mentor apparently has a task on his
hands to develop a team which not
nnlv will win from Chicago, hut will
make the expected showing aajain't
Yale and Harvard.

Kansas and Notre Dame later (n the

Buffalo Star
Shows Cubs He's
Worth the Price
THIRTY THOUSAND screaming
eagles make a big noise. But
so has the erstwhile Buffalo,
George Grantham, since he reported
to the Chicago Cubs. Thus far the
vinrN. City (ins had no reason to re
gret paying the
biggest price ever
pair for a West
ern leaguer to ob
tain his services.
George left the
Buffaloes Tuesday
and Wednesday
was a full-fledged
Cub. He cele
brated his advent
into the "big ring"
by getting one hit
out of five times
up. He fielded his
position at third

August Belmont, chairman of the
Jockey club, declared that he was
opposed to increasing the value of
the stakes and that the competition
among the racing associations, unless
curbed, would lead to financial dis
aster. J'lt has come to pass that the pub
lic isn't' interested in important turf
competitions unless $50,000 prizes
arc offered," said Mr. Belmont. "Un
der existing conditions in New York
state, the associations cannot afford
to offer such inducements, which in
time are certain to make the conduct
of racing impossible."
Cobb May Be Crowned
American Swat King
for Thirteenth Time
CFffCAGOScpt. 25. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, batting champion of the
American league for 12 out of IS years, may realize his ambition to
be crowned with that coveted honor this year.
The Detroit veteran, in his flight to overtake George Sislcr of the
Browns, today is just 17 points behind the St. Louis star. Sisler's average,
including games of Wednesday, is .418, compared with a mark of .424 a.
week ago, a falling off of six points. Cobb is collecting hits to the '11116 of
..")91 and is displaying no indications of slowing up as the clubs swing into
the final stretch of the race.
Cobb led the American trague
every year from 1907, with the ex
ception of in 1916 when Tris Speaker
of the Indians took the honors and
in 1920 when Sislcr was crowned
king, and last season when Harry
Heilman of the Tigers crowded Cobb
out of first place.

Lively Ball Is
Killing Game
John Mrftraw of World Cham
pions Says Too Much Hit
ting Diripleaoes Fans.
New York,- Sept. 2.). Manager
John J. McGraw of the Giants has
this to say about the lively ball now
used in the major leagues: "I have
not much kick against the lively hall.
We are out in front, and yet I must
ay that I feel the same way about
the ball as I felt several years ago,
when I said the ball was too lively
lor uic ncrt interests 01 the game.
"In the west on our recent trip,"
continued the leader of the world
champions, "we saw fans walk out of
the park in the fifth or sixth inning.
They did not like the game. There
was too much scoring, too many
runs, and the one-sidedntss of the
game could not hold the interest of
the fans.
"Look at the ball and compare it
with the ball we had three or four
years ago. Now the cover is tight,
and then it was loose. All the play
ers realizes it is a livelier
bill. J hen
the yarn inside was loose and now it
is wound tightly.

Outside Sporia Are Help.
The majority of the major league
club owner have found it necenary
to cut clown their "overhead" by sub
letting their parks, when not in use
for baseball games to the promoter
of other branches of sport.
When a capitalist erects a $1,000,
000 office budding he figure that it
will work for him 35 days in a year
if he succeeds ill renting all the space
in it. J'.ut a $1,000,000 baseball plant,
if used for no other purpose, works
only 77 dav in a year if all the home
games scheduled for it are played.
Allowing for rain and holiday dou
ble he aders the average i m-ari-r 7l
days a sear that the turnstile are
working to pay interest on the big
investment. Where two major Icax'i
elubs use the atue grounds the num
ber of income producing day is dou
bled of course.
Football Games Add Coin.
Still there are open dates and a
a rulc the weather is suited to out
door sports for a few weeks after
the baseball sca-,on closes. Football
has been a revenue producer for ball
parks for a number of years, Box
ing contests also have been staged
frcfiucntlv either by twilight or by
artificial lighting later in the even
ings. Barney Dreyfuss allowed a cir
cus to give night performances at
Forbes field for several summers
with acceptable results all round.
The owners of the New York
Yankees plan to go a little farther
by providing accommodations for
many different kinds of outdoor
sports, including the installation of
a cinder path for track events. More
over, their scheme calls for obviating
one of the chief objections hitherto
made against staging other branches
of sport in baseball parks. That
has been the difficulty of providing
sufficient seats close to the ring in
case of a glove match or parallel to
the gridiron for football contests.
Novel Plan for Yanks' Park,
At the Yankee park it is proposed
to obviate much of this objection by
means of portable stands of sufficient
solidity to be safe under the weight
of a large number of spectators and
still not be too clumsy to be moved
at moderate expense. For a boxing
card the stands can be set so as to
surround the arena on all sides, us
ing part of the permanent stands. For
a football match ttie portable seats
can be located along one side of the
gridiron, using the main stand for
the other side and one end and leav
ing the other end open.
In that way a satisfactory view of
the contests can be provided the
same as if the field was equipped
for that partinular brand of sport.
The erection of the new Yankee
park is a step opposite to the recent
trend of things in major league cities,
whii- h been toward centralization.
