Moralists might dl- . 1 late, for example, m the self-control exhltlbted by Manager Chance and other of Ms great team. rtychologlt might dwell upon th power tf deter mined mind. Orator could find thorns for their eloquence on th subject of "The Pos sibilities of Purposer." Th results of that game. In fact, aupply food for thought In a dosen. a hundred, different direction, but moat of all they ahow the almplo truth that the Chicago National leagu team la a better ball team than the New York Giants. And It lan't r.ecessary that the "Tie of September 2T" be even referred to In thla connection. Chicago had everything agalnat It In the crucial conteata. In the first place It had to play, off one game on foreign grounds before a hostile crowd for tho determination of six months strenu ous work. Chicago was greeted on the T'olo grounds with a tempeat of Jeers and Mase. It had not played for three days, which was a decided disadvantage at this pennon of the year, while Now York wan In th ptnK of trim and at the height of a aucceaaful serlca cf games. Chicago had traveled 1,000 miles the night before. When, it went on the field for the twenty minutes of practice accorded under the rules. It was forced off the field after five minutes of such practice as the players could snatch rhllo pelted with hisses and pop bottles from the spectators and obstructed by New York player. One of McGraw's players, Itcdlnnlty. waa even sent In to strike Harm (for Chance. In the evident hope of drawing him Into a fisticuff and securing lii elimination from the game. But the lmrd-headed Scotchman from Chicago was more roan than brute and preferred secur ing, revenge through the defeat of tho Slants to getting Into a rough-and-tumbl': with the hoodlum who had hit him. Tin New York Herald Is authority for the state ment that Chicago got the worst of the umpire's decisions all through the game, The Herald emphatically says that Don- lln's hit In the first Inning, on which Ten ney scored, was obviously a foul." Just as Manager Chance contended. WhSn the game was over Chance and other Chicago players were slugged. But whatever bodily bruises the Cubs carried off the field did not compare wtlh the mental distress of thclr',vanqulshed foe. Now York, with everything In Its favor, had len humlll nted and defeated by Chicago with every thing against It. It was the most final and decisive demonstration of superiority that could possibly have been made. The great Mathewson was pitted against the greater Brown and the throe-fingered mar vel triumphed Just as he has done every time he has mot his sturdy rival for a period of two years. In every department of the game Chicago outplayed New York, making tho victory complete and crush ing. The Cubs knew before they went to New York the sort of treatment that would be accorded them. Certain New York newspapers had been buay for days Inflaming minds against the Cuba and tho only wonder la that things were not more ttrious. The sentiment lies been fre quently ' expressed. There Is enough glory In this triumph for the entire west, not alone Chicago. It waa a triumph of the greatest base . bull machine ever organ ised over Its greatest rival and the con querors came out of the west. Who 1s the greatest pitcher In the coun ttyj That Is the question which will be an swered with many different names. In New York the word Mathewson will burst in Mtantly from a million lipe.Mn Detroit It will ba Donovan, In Boston Young, In Washington Johnson. Cleveland might be bold enough to suggest Joss and In Chi cago Walsh and Brown will have their champions. All theso men are great, per hapa the greatest. - Each has performed feats that are marvelous.' It Is. perhaps, not possible to determine exactly between two' great pitchers for the reason they are not pitching behind the aame team. Vlah o the White Hox thla year pitched in whole or In part alxty-flve gamea, win ning many more than he lost, a record with few parallels. Mathewson has been New York's mainstay. But there are thousands of fans who are convinced that for an Iron heart and nerve and for a cool head and strong arm the Ilk of Miner Brown does not live. It liaa already been questioned If another pitcher In the business beside Hrown could have gone Into New York Thursday under similar circumstance and beat the Olants. It is Indeed doubtful. WITIlTflECOLLEGE ATHLETES Doings in the Field of Sport in East and Writ. SEVEN START, FIVE QUALIFY erne of the troni-loaalrr Mea Ukii Will Take fart In the Raa at Princeton eit Month Mlcblaan a wcorarr. The intercollegiate cross-country run at Princeton on November 21, will be conducted under the new control of the Intercollegiate Amateur American Athlethtc association, and It is not possible now to be sure what colleges will be represented In the race It Is permitted to any of the members of the association to send teams to run, but It Is expected that the Institutions which have been taking part regularly In tho race, with the addition of Michigan, and auhstractlon of Maesachusetta Institute of Technology, wlil make up the field. Massachusetts Institution of Technique is not now a member of the Intercollegiate Amatuor Athletic Association of America, and the team which took part In the last two or throe cross-country runs, therefore. will be absent. The Wolverines have been expecting, ever since they were taken back in the fold, to sand at cross-country team east, and the Michigan delegate to the mee 'ng last February said there would be a delegation on In November for the race. Instead of having "nine -men to atart for each college mid counting the first six In as the team, thla year's contest will be held under the rule of seven to start and five to qualify. Under this arrangement, it is believed, the smaller colleges will be encouraged to send teams, with perhaps a better hope of making some sort of show ing. It will benefit even the larger ones, which may happen to develop only a few good men, but which may find It hard to get as many as six runners near enough to qualify to make a good showing as a team. Cornell, which won the race last year. Is likely to have a bit harder time to get tho first leg on the new Intercollegiate trophy, Halstead, Colpitts and Trube, who finished ' second, third and fifth, respec lively, In the run last November, are out of college. Young, sixth, and Hunger, tenth, still are available. Seelye, thirteenth the last man of the team. Is out, as is also Lemon, who finished twenty-first. The other Cornelltans to . complete the course, Atwood, twenty-sixth, still Is In college. However. Cornell has some other men who may be expected to develop for this season's run. A. C. Ben, who made a good showing in the Intorci'llcgiate track games; W. 8. Jones. It. V. Thatcher, N. Bbersol and C. It. Bogert are runr.ors of whom something limy be expected this fall. Cornell has the faculty, or rather Jack Moakley has the facility, of developing .distance runnnrs who come up suddenly to speed and endur ance. Hulstead was one of these. I'p to last fall ho never had run a race. He came out for cross-country and after only a very short preparation finished second In the race at Irinccton, and later on be came a very fast track runner Indeed. Out- slfle of Melvln Bheppard, he prolably was as rood a d'stance man a there was In the country when the American tem was sent over to London for the Olympic games. Pennsylvania Loses Maeklns. Pennsylvania. Which was second to Cor nell In the race at rrlnceton last fall, has lost Hasklns, first, and Jones, seventh, of the men ho qualified for the Tied rind Blue. Qulgley. eighth; Boyle, ninth: Jack, seventeenth, and Moore, nineteenth, of tho Pennsylvania combination, still are avail able. Morris, thirty-third, and Gunn, forty-thdd. were the other Ptftinsylvanians to finish. The four of the Quaker six still on hand have developed considerably since last fall. They showed that in the track and field campaign of spring nil will un doubtedly do much better In the race this fall. About the best of the new men that Pennsylvania hss to count on are such runners "as Paull nr.d Hunter, who were Ineligible last autumn. Paull Is probably the fastest distance runner Pennsylvania has. Yale was third Inst year, with Ppltser twelfth; Raynolda, fourteenth; Vilas, eigh teenth; Haskell, twentieth; Converse, thirty-fifth, and Lithr, thirty-sixth. These men are all In college now. Splticr showed great Improvement In the course of the spring work and rray be expected this time to give the leaders r good fight. Yale has added this year the Incentive of presenting the varsity letter to any man finishing In the first twelve In the Inter collegiate run, regardless of the success or failure of the team. This is expected to stimulate Interest In cross-country run ning. Yale has, besides the six already named." Klrjnsoff, who was fifty-ninth last fall. In addition, the distance men who were freshmen last year will be along to take part In the runs. Syracuse, on the occasion of Its first ap pearance In the cross-country race, was fourth, last autumn. The up-state men got tips on h way to manage and de veloped a cross-country team from Coach Moakley of Cornell. Tommy Keane ap pears to have taken the tips carefully to heart. He la better off for material now than he was last year. Besides Stuhe, eleventh? Marble, twenty-ninth; Benja min, thirtieth; Cutllngs, thirty-ninth, and Campbell, forty-fifth, five of last years' six, he has Wood, forty-nlntli and Judd, fifty-seventh. He has lost only Call, who finished In fifteenth place and wus the second Syracuse man in. In addition Messer and Van Auken, two freshmen last year, now will be eligible. They were beat ing out a lot of ellgibles In the practice runs and undoubtedly would have helped to make It a good fight with Yale for third place had they been In. Syracuse has taken to cross-country running with great eager ness, and 100 men started the season there at the first call. This sort of enthusiasm Is bound to have results. Harvard Teem Was Poor. Harvard wasn't very far back of the Orange team in fifth place and the Crim son loses only one man of the six. He Is Crosby, who was In twenty-second place when he finished and was the second Harvard man to get through. The others were: Dole, sixteenth: Carter, twenty seventh; Lassler. twenty-eighth; - Hoyt, forty-second, and Whitney, forty-seventh. Souder, fifty-second, still Is in college. Harvard ordinarily has had cross-country teams a liltl hotter thsn was laot year's, and It Is expected that some of ic fresh man distance running creeks of last spring will help out the cross-country squad. Jsques is the best of these. Columbia whs a good bit behin.l Harvard In the rur-- with a group of men who showed little promise. 7,ink will not be In the race this year, and he was Colum bia's hist man. In twenty-third place. Sanders will do better If he gets Into the race this time, but the other m-n did not display very much that was encouraging. For another thing, there Is a change In training methods this season. Mini It re mains to be seen what B. J. Weteis will bo able to accomplish with the distance runners. What with the small opportunities for training runs that are afforded at Colum bia and the change In trainers. It Is un likely that Columbia will do a great deal more in the race than most other Columbia teams have done. At that last year's showing was the best that any team from Mornlngslde Heights has accomplished, be cause two other colleges finished behind. Model Forty-One, Price $1,350. NAVY'S BACK FIELD IS WEAK Coaches at Annapolis Have Hard Time Pleklac Men. ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Oct. 10.-A11 the mid shipmen who are still in the academy and were members of the regular foot ball team .or of the squad last year are now back at the academy, and the first team will be selected shortly. Tho great diffi culty which the coaches will experience this year will be the development of a back field of navy caliber. Richardson and Helf snldor may play the halves, with Jones a possibility at fullback. The last named Is a good, experienced back, but too light and by no means capable of filling Doug. lass' shoes. Owing to the large number of heavy linesmen. It is believed that Cap tain Northrroft will be tried at fullback, and that Robinson will play his tackle. Thla change would give the back field the necessary amount of weight, and North croft Is Just the type of plunging back that the navy, needs this yesr. Despite reports to the contrary. De Mott will be In condition to play end before the last of the season, and will, unless lie Is hurt, line up against West Point. Pros- peots for a successful season and eventual victory over the army seem brighter than they have been In years, even though the navy has won for two years. Douglass captain of last year's team, will materially assist In the coaching. PAPKE AND KELLY TO CONTEST Italian Pugilist of Chicago Seeks Honors at Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 10. Billy Fapke, the middleweight champion, and Hugo Kelly, the clever Italian pugilist of Chi cago, have been matched to try conclu sions In a ten-round bout for the middle. weight championship of the world at a show to be brought off by the Milwaukee Boxing club In the Hippodrome on the night of October 15. They will battle at 168 pounds, weigh In at p. m. it Is said that Papke Is to receive a guarantee of 15,000 for his end, with the privilege of ac ceptlng a big percentage of the receipts In the event of their being over glO.OK). Papke won a decision over Kelly In len-rouna nout in trie same cll,y several months ago. . "And Manager Chance won the game with a two-bagger."

It is the perfection of a type which has been manufactured by Thomas B. Jeffery & Company continuously since 1904. Note these features which make it positively the most satisfactory car with which to overcome the most difficult road conditions. The large 34-inch wheels with 4-inch tires provide high road clear ance ten inches. Compare this clearance with that of other cars. Big wheels and tires add to the comfort and appearance, lessen tire trouble, cut down cost of tire maintenance and go over the roads easier. The double opposed cylinder engine has but one-half the parts of the four-cylinder; has greater power for its size; has greater high gear hill climbing ability; power plant in center, therefore better balanced and with the Rambler tilting body every part is easily reached.
