the pnnt few weeks , and as the weed-

The fact that no radical changes

Itlueuthal , center ; Pendleton , a half
back , and Captain dart , fullback.
There are also a number of excellent
substitutes trying for the team , so
that optimism reigns supreme In Tiger-
town.
Sometimes n team Is handicapped by
too many veterans , because this con
dition of things tends to make a team
overconfident and keeps down the list
of new candidates. This may or may
not prove to bo the case at Princeton.
Prospects at Yale are rosy enough ,
although the Ells have lost more men
than Princeton. Captain Howe and
Fullback Klstler are the only veterans
in the back field , Daly and Field
having graduated , the latter now act
ing as head conch. In the line Kllpat-
rick Is gone at one end and Morris Is
missing nt center. Scully and Paul
are back at tackle , and Chllda should
make a capable guard.
Yale's greatest good fortune Is the
possession of IIowo as quarterback.
This Is his third year on the Ynlo team.
lie held down the position on Captain
Coy's well nigh perfect eleven In 1009 ,
and last year lie was about all that
stood between the team and utter rout
Harvard has lost but few players ,
the principal losses being McKay , the
All American tackle ; Wlthlngton , hl3
mate on thu other sldo of the line ;
O'Flaherty , quarterback , and Mlnot ,
fullback. With the exception of Mc
Kay these positions will bo easily
filled. Last year Harvard had a num
ber of high class backs enough , In
fact , for two or three back Holds. Pot
ter Is likely to bo first choice for quar
terback , \vlth Campbell and Wendell
completing the quartet
In the number of veterans lost Penn-
Hylvanla suffers far worse than either
Princeton or Yale.
In some ways the Red and Blue Is
moro fortunate than appears from the
foregoing. This Is duo to the fact
that there Is some unusually good ma
terial from the 1910 freshmen eleven ,
which was the champion first team of
the east
Pennsylvania's real problem will be ,
as heretofore , the development of a
heavy Hae. This will be the more dlf-
flcult because , as a rule , the Quakers
ere not blessed with an abundance of
heavy men.
Cornell has brighter prospucta than
( for a number of years on account of
tl.o large number of men from last
year's eleven who are eligible this fall
niid tile elltcieney of the coaching sys-
m vlilch is regarded as the best la
years. Last fnll Cornell developed ft
Jot of green men Into a fairly good
football team. Thin year the couchim
hope to reap llitlr reward ,
T i fact that the annual contest t -
nv.'un the elevens of the Naval uud
Xunary aatUfUav will tins . > . . r
break the tie occasioned by the Koven
victories of ein-h servlco team gives
special Intercut to the football season
nt Annapolis and West Point Last
year the Navy won , n Held goal being
the only score ol the game. This year
neither team loses heavily by gradua
tion , and one of the stiffest games In
the series Is expected.
Western Football Outlook.
In thu west a splendid tight for the
conference eight title Is anticipated.
Although Michigan Is out of thu fold ,
there Is ono gamu which will furnish
n line on thu comparative strength of
Michigan and other members of thu
conference. Nebraska will meet both
Minnesota and Michigan , and the re
sults of these contests should go a
long way In determining the relative
strength of the Wolverenes nnd Go
phers.
Minnesota , Illinois , Indiana and
Michigan will put the most formic ! i-
hie elevens on the llelds. Wisconsin
Is again an unknown quantity , as Is
Chicago and Northwestern. lown re
joices In thu return of practically all
of UH veterans of last year , and the
Uawkeyes may cut considerable fig-
uro.
uro.Purdue , with n disastrous season last
year , Is hopeful , nnd Coach Uorr has
the nucleus of a fast team.
Chicago and Northwestern have suf
fered most by desertions , nt least at
this stage , the gloom at the two Insti
tutions being thick enough to cut with
an ax. Coach Stagg has lost prac
tically nil of his last year's stars , nnd
Coach Uammett of the purple squad
Is In the same boat.
Coach Sheldon of Indiana will have
a good team , according to reports.
Minnesota , accordIng -
Ing to tbo advance
dope , should have
a better team than
last year , when the
Gophers disputed
with Michigan the
championship of

Michigan will not suffer If the dope
Is read right Coach Yost has plenty
of old and new material to turn out a
winning combination. Among the new-
l comers especially there nro several
| stars who are likely to bo heard from.
At the University of Wisconsin two
former gridiron stars are In charge.
John Richard and Earl Driver , two of
the best players whom the Badger In
stitution cvur turned out , will try to
put the Cardinals back on their feet.
Illinois , which claimed the cham
pionship of the west last year , will be
back with as strong If not a stronger
team. That Is not according to the
coaches , but the students can see noth
ing but a victory over Minnesota ,
which Is the principal aim In llfo nt
the university for the time being.
The strong teams are not confined to
the "big eight" or to Michigan. There
are plenty of others on the border land
of greatness. Notre Dame nnd Mar-
quettu elevens will probably show the
others the way to the goal posts. Lake
Forest and Do Paul teams also are
promising , whllo Nebraska must be
considered on par with Eomo of the
"blc eight" elevens.

OW that the National and
American league pennant
races nro over all there Is to
figure on the 1011 baseball
campaign Is the outcome of the world's
series. New York , It would seem ,
makes the Giants the favorites moro
because they represent New York than
that their class warrants H. It Is but
natural foi New Yorkers to figure the
GlantH Invincible. Having won thu
National league gonfalon and humbled
both Cubs and Pirates , New York Is
not able to see any other team.
IJut of course all followers of base
ball do not share this belief. There
is a team In Philadelphia over which
a long , lean gentleman of quiet demeanor
meaner presides that also has a fol
lowing. It may not have 119 many
noisy adherents as Its rival , nor are the
claims for It as extravagant , but when
these games are played It lstvpt to bo
very much in evidence.
Philadelphia Stronacr Than Ever.
The Athletic tram of 1011 Is unques
tionably thu strongest ball club In the
American league. The team Is stronger
than the Athletic champions of 1010.
Mclnnls at first base Is a vast Im
provement over Davis who played the
bag last year. He Is n much faster
man and a hotter hitter than his pred
ecessor. Harry , the Athletic short-
Htop , has displayed Improved form
this year. Collins , the second base
man , and linker , the third sacker , are
two great ball players.
Collins Is probably the most valua
ble player In the American league ,
with the exception of Ty Cobb.
Mack's outfield consists of Lord , Old-
ring and Murphy. It Is n better com
bination than the New York crew ,
which consists of Devore , Snodgrass ,
with ISecker nnd Murray allernatlng
In right field.
The Athletic Infield has nn edge on
the Giants' quartet. Merkle and Mc
lnnls measure even up ; Collins has It
on Doyle In every way ; Barry Is a
more seasoned and smarter shortstop
than Fletcher ; Ilerzog Is a wonderful
fast third baseman and probably holds
linker safe , but give me the latlcr for
his long drives.
Myers will probably do all the catchIng -
Ing for New York. Bresnnhan caught
every game for the Giants back in
1005. Myers Is no Bresnnhan behind
the bat. lie Is a heavy hitter and n
Rood mechanical receiver , but not a
quick thinker.
The Athletics have a corking good
pair In Thomas and Lapp , as the Cubs
and seven American league clubs will
vouch for.
Now for a glnnco at the twirling
corps of the two teams. The Giants
have Mathewson , Marqunrd , Wlltsc ,
Crnndall and Ames. Matty Is not as
good as he was a few seasons ago
Still , he is ono of the best txvlrlers in
the country , but he cannot be expect
ed to do nil the pitching in the com
ing series. Mnrquard up until n short
time ago was the man picked to down
the Athletics ; but. judging by his re
cent showing , he Is not as good as ho
was earlier In the season. Wlltse has
been ailing for some time , and so has
Drucke. Crnndall Is a hard worker ,
lint Is not In the same class with Mar-
quard or Mnthuwson.
Thu Athletics have three strong right
band pitchers in Bonder. Coombs and
Morgan and two good southpaws in
Plank and Krause. Mack thinks Plank
will prove un Insurmountable obstacle
to the Giants In the world's series.
Krnuso has not been very effective in
the American league this year , but
Mack is confident that the kid will
make trouble for Now York.
New York Weak Agninst Southpaws.
Another known weakness of the New
York team Is its Inability to hit loft
hand pitchers. MeGrnw hns n bunch
of loft hand stickers. Dovore , Becker
and Doyle nro loft hand cloutors. Sal-
lee , Kucker and other peed southpaws
have proved the greatest obstacles in
the Giants' progress pennantward.
There can be no denying that the
Giants will tackle a sturdier opponent
than any they have met in the Na
tional lenguu this season when they
stack up against the Athletics. Be
sides having n stone wall infield nnd
a powerful pitching staff , the team has
a number of heavy batters. Barry Is
the only regular of the team who Is
not battin ? over the .300 mark. When
Lapp and Coombs are the battery
Hack can send eight .300 clubbers
ngninst his opponents.
There Is another point of advantage
the Athletics have over the Giants ,
nnd that Is possibly a generally higher
standard of baseball Intelligence. Me-
Graw's men nre not rated as Intellec
tual giants and have given some very
bad exhibitions on occasions when Iho
manager has been absent from the sldo
lines.
They have speed , plenty of good bat
ting strength and two good pitchers ,
though Marquard In a big series Is , of
course , an experiment. Matliewson
will pitch good ball whether ho wins
or lo e . lie hns brains and is thor
oughly pamo and cool. Wlltse , the
Giants' southpaw , Is one of the best
in the game , but has not been In the
best of shnpe of Into. Ho will not be
used In the series unless In case of an
emergency.
One of the questions most debated
by the experts Is the extent to which
the Giants will continue their base
miming when they meet the Athletics.
There is an Interesting angle to the
pnthwork of this team which has been
bruught to view by claims of some
Nttlonul leaguers that the New Yorkh'
bnse running Is overruled. The
and averages of course show thai they
have run more sacks than any other
club in the country.
Bui the cuntoutlon Is that they have
run the bases foolishly at times , steal
Ing third with two down and making
all sorts of moves that are frowned
on by the orthodox and not calculated
In the ordinary course of events to
gain anything in the way of runs if
opponents do not follow the steals
with errors.
In this contention It Is noteworthy
that with all of Its stolen bases the
New York team has not scored nearly
as many runs as Plttsburg this sea
son. The Giants have stolen over two
nnd one-half times as many bags as
the Pirates , but Iho lallcr club has
chased more runners all the way
round. This would servo to back the
assertion made by those who refuse to
glvo the Giants all that Is claimed for
their bnse running. The argument is
that It Is a wnsle of effort and un
productive.
If so It may not gain so much In thu
coming series. Ira Thomns Is n wise
catcher , who will profit by any false
moves , nnd he will be catching n couple -
plo of crafty pitchers , who may let a
few men on and who will watch those
whoid9 get there. Under Mack Thom
as hns developed Into ono of the best
catchers and throwers In the country.
Ills accurate pegging last fall prevent
ed the Cub runners from pilfering
many sacks.
Mnck will send Into the world's
series the best balanced club In either
league. It Is not showy , but It IH a
conslslenl , evenly playing outfit.
Athletics Ought to Win.
After going over the real conditions
of the two teams nn unbiased person
cannot help but select the Athletics
ns winners of the Bcrles. They seem
lo have everything In their favor. The
team has an edge In the bnckstopplng
depnrtment and pitching ; Its Infield
collectively Is stronger , nnd the out
field is hotter than that of the Giants' .
They have the best batting team and
the advantage of having a chance lo
rest up nnd then tackle the ull stars
to tune themselves up for the world's
series.
To be pitted against a high class
ball team such ns the all slars nnd to
be forced lo bat ngninst pitchers like
Johnson , Walsh , Ford and White have
furnished the greatest kJnd of prac
tice , ns nfter this sort of experience
pitchers of the ordinary typo look de
cidedly easy.
It was so with the Athletics when
they fnccd the Cubs Insl ycnr. They
had been batting ngalnst Walsh nnd
Johnson for nearly n week , nnd when
they tackled the Cubs their pitchers
did not seem to have enough to fool
them , the result being thrt the Ath
letics did Borne very hard and timely
hitting In thai series.
Of course all this may sound entire
ly one sided to ninny fans , and one ,
might think that the Giants' chance ?
of winning were hopeless. But sucl.
is not Uie case , although nil the dope
favors the Athletics. Baseball Is the
most uncertain of nil sports. Often
times clubs that appear very weak on
paper come through and Vfnllop the
daylight out of n championship team. .
It Is argued thnt MeGrnw Is a great
baseball general. Granted. But Is
there any one better qualified to
outline n defense or attack than Cor
nelius McGHllcnddy ? There Is no
trick of the game , no science of the
sport. Hint Mack Is not familiar with.
Many of the plays nnd slraleglc moves
are of his Invention , and If It comes
down to a battle in which heads nre
to count Mack will not finish second
to McGruw.
The Giants must use offhnnd ng-
gresslvo methods , while the Athletics
will work every man to the limit and
get more runs out of hits they make
than the Giants , although the New
York men will probnbly score the
greater number of total bases. The
Giants are not as well drilled ns the
Athlellcs , hut the chnnces nro that
their style of piny will plenso the fans.
Comparison of Old and New Teams.
The Giants of 1005 were a fcrappy
nggregntlon. They were cocky from
the start of the season until the end.
It was a case of bring along your team
and we'll trim 'em. Compare Bresnn-
tan , Bowermnn , catchers ; Mntly , Me-
GInnlly , pitchers ; McGnnn , Gilbert ,
Dnhlon nnd Devlin , Inllcldcrs ; Doulln ,
Seymour and Merles with the team of
today and you will find It moro power
ful in every way.
For the pnst monlh the Glnnts have
been playing beyond Ihelr speed nnd
nnlurnlly nre keyed up to a high pitch.
When the men tackle Philadelphia
they will be plnying on the nerves.
On the other hand , the Athletics of
today nre stronger than the team of
1905 , which was composed oC Schreck-
engost nnd Powers , calchers ; Bender.
Plank , Conkley , pitchers ; Davis , Mur
phy , Monte Cross nnd Lavu Cross , In-
Holders ; Lord. Seybold and Unrtscl ,

Gamblers Try to Run Games.
Gregory , S. IX , Oct. 7. Special to
The News : Gamblers yesterday at-
i tempted to run their games but they
* were closed by deputy sheriffs and
, the city authorities.
This morning Judge Flynn fined
ten landseekers $10 apiece for being
drunk.
Registration to Date 11,043.
Dallas , S. I ) . , Oct. 7. Special to
The News : The land registration to
tal this morning was 11,01 ! ! with two
more weeks to go , after today.
Following were the registrations :
Gregory , 4.S7. " , ; Dallas , 2,8U' ; Cham
berlain , 2,201 ; Ilapid City , 1,097.
Crowds Falling Short.
Judging from the present registra
tion It Is becoming moro apparent ev
ery day that the number to apply
for claims will fall far short of that
of three years ago and much below
the early estimate of the most con
servative. Three years ago the first
three days brought over 10,000 regis
trations and this year In the same
time less than 2,000 have registered.
