GRID GAME FOR
GEN.jTOIING
ureat American Commander
May Review Varsity Pum
meling Scrubs On His Visit
to Lincoln.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 30. (Special.)
While in the far east, the Nebras
ka chief tan, Dr. Fred W. Luehring,
in collaboration with authoritiei of
Princeton and Rutgers colleges, cel
ebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
foot ball in America. Similar prep
arations are going on here.
It is rumored that the Cornhusker
''' machine, in its embryo stage, may
perform before no less distinguished
a personage than General Pershing,
commander-in-chief of the Ameri
can expeditionary forces during the
war. The general arrives in Lin
coln about October 1, at which time
varsity and scrubs will be in the
pink of condition.
A scrimmage is bound to result.
Schulte Comes Monday.
The Indian Schulte, thus far, has
not reported for duty, but is expect
ed ere the moon sets again. He
will immediately call out his redskin
clan, christening them gently in the
art of following latest changes in
the grid code, and start the good
old "beef, milk and cheese" table on
its annual course.
Meanwhile foot ball is 50 years old.
The first game, according to best
records, was played on November
6, 1869, between Princeton and. Rut
gers colleges. Columbia university
appeared as a collegiate competitor
in 1870, and Yale university in 1872.
The first Princeton-Yale game was
played in 1873, under the famous
"Association Code." Harvard
joined the group in 1875.
Up to November 23, 1876, when
the famous Massasoit house con
. vention was held in Springfield,
Mass., at which the basis of the
present foot ball code was adopted,
three "systems" held forth, the "As
sociation Code," the "Concessionary
Rules" and a "combination of Eng
lish Rugby and early American foot
ball"..rulcs.
This Conference was attended by
representatives of four univetsities,
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Co
lumbia. Except for radical changes
in the style of attack and the scor
ing system, the rules then formu
lated have held forth to this day.
A review of the scoring elicits best
insight into causes of the game's
present wide popularity.
Weight Big Factor.
Originally a goal from field, now
counting but one point, was the all
" popular desire, it counting live
points. In lo, a rule was adopted
as follows: "In scoring, four touch
downs shall take precedence over a
goal kicked from the field; two safe
ties shall be equal to a touchdown."
The numeral scale of the year that
" followed was: N
Safety, 1.
Touchdown, 2.
Goal from touchdown, 4.
Goal from held, 5.
Brute strength was the whole
play.
Hence the small value of the
touchdown. But as better rules
were devised year by year and the
goal line became more difficult to
" cross, the scale of scores was re
vised. In 1884 the following scale
appeared: Safety, 2; goal from
touchdown', 2; and touchdown, 4.
In 1897 the value of the touchdown
was increasgd to 5 points.
In 1904 the value of the goal from
field was reduced to 4 points and in
1909 to 3 points, In 1913, the lat
est and final change was authorized,
the value of the goal being increased
to 6 points.
The schedule now stands:
Safety, 2.
Touchdown, 6.
Goal from touchdown, 1.
Goal from field, 1.
Football'i twentieth century popu
larity is due largely to the new open
play, following introduction of the
forward pass, the end run and the
line shift. The old style smashing
attack, where brute force, giant
physique and great strength were
sole factors, is gone. The new game
permits the use of the light, agile,
rapid athlete of the cinder path.
Huikeri Organize Early.
At the University of Nebraska
the game has been of central inter
est for more than a quarter cen
tury. The Cornhuskers organized
their first foot ball along ambitious
lines in the late 80s and have been
going ever since. The first game
with the University of Iowa was
played in 1871 and the following
year the University of Kansas was
met.
Both games resulted in defeat.
The Cornhuskers recovered in
1892, however, and held the Hawk
eyes to a 10 and 10 score, and win
ning the following year, 20 to 18.
The same year Kansas was beaten,
12 to 6. In the 24 games played
with the Jayhawkers, Nebraska has
won 16 and lost 8, aggregate scores
being: Nebraska, 304; Kansas, 167.
In 19 games with Iowa. Nebraska
has won 11, lost 5 and .tied 3.
Scores: Nebraska, 283; Iowa, 147.

BOUT NOT SOON,
SAYS BRONSON
Manager of A. E. F. Title
Winner Declares Champion
Is Great Man; Will
Wait Awhile.

POTTOS THE-
WiTsrosjassr'OAER
J4T
New York, Aug. 30 There will be
no fight in the near future between
Bob Martin, heavyweight champion
of the A. E. F. and Jack Dempsey.
Jimmy Bronson, who went to France
as a Y. M. C. A. secretary, who
staged and referred hundreds of box
ing tourneys among the soldiers, and
who took the management of Mar
tin, was asked if he was seeking a
match for Martin with Dempsey,
and replied: .'
"Not at the present time. I know
Jack Dempsey quite well and I am
convinced he ii the greatest heavy
weight in the history of that divi
sion. He unquestionably is the hard
est hitter that the heavyweight class
ever has developed, and right now
there is not a living man who can
stand up against him for more than
a round or two. I have refereed
several of the battles in which
Dempsey has taken part and I have
first hand knowledge of the man's
ability and capacity.
"I would not be so foolish as to
jump a promising youngster like
Martin into the ring with a man like
Dempsey, for it might take all ambi
tion out of the boy. Martin is but
21 years of age and is one of the
best prospects in the heavyweight
class.
"With careful handling I fail to
see how he can miss winning the
heavyweight title in the course of
titne Dempsey is 3 years older than
Martin, and in a few years the cham
pion will begin to show the effect of
stage life and lack of frequent ring
battles. By that time Martin will
be a greatly improved boxer, and
then I will ask for a match with the
champion.
"Meantime I will try him out
against heavyweights of moderate
ability and nurse him along till he
gets into his stride. It is a fact that
2,000,000 soldiers believe Bob can
beat any heavyweight in the world,
just as he stands today, but I do not
propose to make any matches for
him in which he would be outclassed."

Chicago Ball Fans
'Make Sox Heavy
Favorites Over Reds
Chicago. 111., Aug. 30. (Special)
With the pennant race in the
two majors practically a fore
gone conclusion, the first wagers
on the outcome of the world's
series were recorded in Chi
cago's "loop" this week, the
Chicago White Sox being made 7
to 10 favorites among the sporting
fraternity, to trim the Cincinnati
Reds in the base ball classic. That
these odds meet the approval of the
Sox themselves is evidenced by their
desire to wager at those odds that
they defeat the Detroit Tigers in
the morning game Labor day at
Detroit, thereby bearding the lion in
his den as it were.
It seems to be the opinion of some
that the Reds are playing over their
heads and supporters of the Sox
fear the outcome of the series with
the Reds only by likening their
work to that of the Boston Braves
who, continued to play over their
heads in the series with the Athletics,
which they mopped up in four
straight The Reds, imbued with the
same spirit, might repeat- the
triumph of the Braves in 1914.
But that the Sox have no such
notions is evidenced by the plan the
players have already made for
spending the world's series spoils.
McMullen intends to finish paying
for his farm, Leibold is going to add
two more alleys to his bowling par
lors, Risberg is going to buy an auto
that will surpass Ray Schalk's and
the others all have pet ambitions
and places for the series money,
which they count as good as in
their hands.

RutH to Go to Yanks
In Exchange for Two
Players and $75,000?
Chicago, Aug. 30. (Special.)
Base ball's most sensational and
most expensive trade is in the mak
ing. "Babe" Ruth of the Boston
Red Sox is to be sold to the New
York Yankees for two players and
$75,000 in cash.
Capt. Roger Peckingpaugh and
third baseman," J. Franklin Baker of
the Yanks are authority for the pro
posed trade, but are unwilling to
divluge the names of the two players
who are to be included in the deal.
But inasmuch as the Yankees are
blessed with more new material
than any other big league club, hav
ing purchased 13 minor league stars,
players, who if they cannot use them
themselves, will make splendid
trading material, the Red Sox will
have plenty of men to choose from.
Ruth, say the Yankee players, has
always wanted to play in New York,

Jimmy Clabby Boxing
Well in Australian
Rings; Whips Holland
New York, Aug. 30. Following
the example of Eddie McGoorty,
once a leading contender for the
middleweight title of America,
Jimmy Clabby, who also strove for
the same title, and with no more
success than McGoorty acheived,
now is battling successfully on
foreign soil. Late advices from
Australia are to the effect that
Clabby recently won a 20-round
bout from Fritz Holland, who was a
formidable opponent of Les Darcy
when that boxer held the middle
weight title of the antipodes.
The bout between Holland and
Clabby was a bitter one and the men
have been rematched. The same
advices recount the victory of
Tommy Uren, welterweight and middle-weight
champion of Australia,
over Barney Thompson, in the Syd
ney stadium. Ten thousand persons
saw this contest and 8,000 were pres
ent at the Clabby-Holland bout, in
dicating that boxing again has come
into its own in Kangarooland.
Australian boxing followers and
promoters are clamoring for an
invasion from America. They want
to see some new faces in the ring,
and perhaps more class. Some of
the best boxers in Australia are on a
tour and are in the Philippines.
Vince Blackburne, the Australian
bantamweight champion, got a sur
prise in Manila from Kid Decio, a
native Filipino, who got the decision.
National League Owners and
Managers Oppose Freaks
Major Club Leaders Favor Rules That Would Abolish
"Shine" Ball, "Ernery" Ball, "Spit" Ball and Any
But Legitimate Pitchers' Deliveries.
New York, Aug. 30. Tha thin
ball, emery ball, paraffin and talcum
balls, and other freak deliveries,
may go the way of the festive cock
tail and febrile highball, if Barney
Dreyfus and other club owneri have
their way next winter.
Dreyfus contends, and rightly,
that trick deliveries are a big ob
stacle to base ball, and has set in
motion a campaign to have them all
cast out.
Whether he will have the support
of the owners of the' Giants snd
Yankees is not known definitely, al
though it is probable neither will
dissent should the other club owners
agree to ban the objectionable meth
ods of pitching.
Never, perhaps, in the history of
the sport has there been such wide
spread use of trick deliveries as this
season. Practically every club has
at least one "shiner" on "spitter"
who depends entirely upon foreign
substances to give his ball the es
sential stuff.
Rules Prohibit Practice.
Although the National league has
a rule prohibiting such practices,
pitchers, and umpires, too, ignore
it, with the result that twirlers the
circuit over now are seeking to out
do one another in devising and per
fecting illegal deliveries. Umpires
in recent games at the Polo grounds
have become arm weary throwing
out of play balls defaced by pitch
ers. In one game no less than six
were cast out, havfng either been
roughened or otherwise "doctored."
"The base ball public favors
plenty of free hitting," said Heyd
ler, president of the Giants, "and
is opposed to sharp practice by some
of the pitchers. Personally, I be
lieve new rules should be adopted
compelling the pitchers to depend
entirely on natural skill. It might
be a hardship for those who have
developed the spitball to prohibit
the use of jts next year, but by mak
ing a new anti-spitter rule effective
in 1921 the National league would
give them ample time to change
iheir deliveries."
"Shine Ball' Doomed.
"The so-called shine ball, which
is governed entirely by the applica
Bee Want
boosters.
Ads are business
substance, is doomed in our circuit.
When the rules committee meets I
will offer an amendment to the play
ing code making it illegal for a
pitcher to rub the ball on any part
of his uniform. The spitball can be
wiped out late.r by preventing a
pitcher from holding the ball near
his mouth.
"It's all right for a pitcher to
moisten the tips of his fingers be
fore delivering the ball or to put a
little rosin on his hands to keep the
ball under control. But the practice
of cutting the cover of the ball
with the finger nails or roughening
the surface by rubbing it on a piece
of emery paper carefully concealed
doesn't belong in clean sport.
"Many games have been prolong
ed this season by arguments over
these freak deliveries and the um
pires have been forced to use their
own judgment in settling these con
troversies. But if the rules are made perfectly
clear for the season of 1920 there
will be no further trouble and the
batting will be much improved."
McGraw Favora Rule Against It.
"I favor a rule against the shine
ball," said Manager McGraw.
'There's no harm if a pitcher puts
rosin on his fingers, especially when
the weather is hot. Rosin enables a
pitcher to grip the ball more firmly
before letting it go. The ball doesn't
take queer jumps or hops as a result
of the application of this substance,
but the use of paraffin and other
things has grown into an evil that
must be stopped.
"During the games with the Cin
cinnati Reds many balls were
thrown out because they had been
doctored. I still have some of
them, which certainly are curiosi
ties. The covers are scratched or
cut as if with a knife blade. They
also are discolered in such a man
ner that one side is almost white
and the other side is dark brown
or black. Of course, these balls
when pitched revolve in such a
manner that the hitters are com
pletely puzzled. The shine ball,
in my Opinion, is merely an optical
illusion, but there isn't a doubt that
it hurts the batting.
Licorice to Discolor Ball.
"The discoloration of the ball is
accomplished by putting licorice on
one side of it and rubbing the other
side on part of the pitcher's uni
form which has been saturated
with paraffin. By the time the ball
sails un to the hitter it has a smooth,
white side and a dark rough side
and also breaks quickly either way.
If a certain Cincinnati pitcher
couldn t rub the ball on his trousers
he wouldn't amount to much. Some
times a pitcher has a strip of emery
paper sewed into the sleeve of his
uniform or into the wrist of his
glove. By rubbing the ball quick
ly on this substance he roughens the
cover in one small spot, which
makes the ball do queer stunts.
Some of the batsmen are unduly
tion of paraffin, emery or some other i suspicious and worry their heads
too much over what they believe the
pitchers are doing, but there is no
denying the fact that these forms of
sharp practice must be wiped out.
Some day I'll tell my pitchers to
rub each ball on their trousers just
to fool the other fellows and then
you'll hear a great outcry from the
ether clubs.
"The soitball Is largely a bluff.
You'll often see a pitcher who cant
deliver this kind of a ball raise it
in front of his mouth as if to apply
the saliva. He does it just to
worry the hitter into guessing what
is about to come. Hub Perdue,
pitching for the Braves against our
team in an opening game here sev
eral years ago, bluffed with the spit
ter so cleverly that he shut us out.
Yet all he had was perfect control.'
Fred Fulton Succeeds
in Landing Bout With
English Heavyweight
New York, Aug. 30. Fred Fulton
has landed a match in London. He
is to fight some British heavy
weight, most likely Dick Smith, pre
liminary to the bout between Joe
Beckett, the English champion, and
Eddie McGoorty at the Olympia
coliseum on September 2. News of
Fulton's success in getting the match
came from Sam Fitzpatrick, well
known in fistic circles, who has
arrived from overseas, where he did
athletic work among the American
soldiers. Fitzpatrick says that Tom
O'Rourke and Fulton had become
discouraged and were on the verge
of starting for this side when
O'Rourke prevailed on Charles
Cochrane, the London promoter, to
give Fulton a chance to show his
ability.
If Fulton meets Smith he is likely
to finish him sooner than did
Gorges Carpentier, even if Smith
this time enters the ring looking like
a fighter. Smith cannot hit, but he
has considerable cleverness. Fulton
can land quite a punch if the other
fellow shows that he cannot hurt
him and as for science, Smith would
be a poor second to the plasterer.
If the bout goes through the Lon
doners will see a heavyweight after
their long established standards.
They like the rangy clever kind of
heavyweight along the style of
Bombardier Wells, and they have
not yet quite accustomed themselves
to Beckett.
West Virginia Expects to
Have Great Foot Ball Team
NewYork, Aug. 30. West Vir
ginia is expecting a strong foot ball
eleven, according to H. A. Stans
bury of the department of athletics.
Five undergraduates of the strong
1916 team, who went into the
service at the first call, have one
or more years of play left
and are returning, and 10 of
the 11 regulars of the especially
strong team of 1917 team, which
beat Navy (Dobie's team) and Wash
ington and Jefferson, tied Rutgers
and played Pittsburgh 14-9, will also
return. This gives a great nucleus.
Then in 1918 the season was stop
ped entirely by the "flu" after five
weeks of practice and with a team
fully developed in which only one
man has played previously. Prac
tically all of these men being fresh
men last year, will return. There
will be Bailey, Rodgers, Ice, Harrock,
Brooks, Martin, Hill, Kay, Mills,
Hager, Lentz, Hite and several
other men equally good. In the
squad will be five captains-elect, who
being elected in 1916 and 1917 went

"Pop ' Geers Has Star
In Making In His 4-Year-Old
Pacer, Goldie Todd
Chicago, Aug. 30. (Special.)
In 1916, the star stake pacer of the
Grand circuit was a 4-year-old
filly, Miss Harris M., which took a
record of 2.01 in winning the
classic Chamber of Commerce stake
at Detroit, that being, and still is,
the world's record for a pacing filly
of the age. No filly of the age and
gait approached this work until the
recent Philadelphia meeting when
"Pop" Geers, specialist in fast pacers,
won a stake with the 4-year-old
filly, Goldie Todd, one heat of which
was paced in 2:02. Of course this
record, on paper, hardly compares
with the mile of Miss Harris M, at
Detroit, but the Belmont park
course in yuaker Lity is reckoned
the slowest of the big ring tracks,
while that at Detroit is always fast
The critics are now predicting that
"Pop" has a new champion in pro
cess of development. She is a real
racing filly, for she has won at the
opening meeting at North Randall,
repeated at Toledo, pacing in 2:04i4
at both places, then took the sup
posedly unbeatable rrank Dewey
into camp at Columbus, where she
paced in 2:04 1-2 in the mud
and at Belmont park trimmed
Murphy's star Sanardo which won a
heat in 2:02 at North Randall.
Goldie Todd is a daughter of Todd
Mac, 2:07, a trotting stallion which
raced fairly well a few seasons back
and has gained considerable fame
as a sire of late. His daughter,
Anna Bradford, was the star among
the 3-year-old pacers in 1914,
establishing the record for age at
2:00f4 in winning a futurity at
Columbus that fall, a unique record,
in that it is faster for the 4-year-old
record at that gait. The dam of
Goldie Todd is a daughter of Zom
bro, 2:11, a sire of a lot of big class
performers, including Ban Francisco,
2:07, sire of St, Frisco, Lu Prince
ton, Mary Putney apd other great

Evans, jr., national amateur , cham
pion, is strongly in favor of the plan
suggested by Bob MacDoftald and '
Jock Hutchison to bring English
professionals to this country to take
part in a tournament. The idea is
that the visitors and hqme profes
sional should compete for a $10,000
purse, the money to be raised, by the
sale of admission tickets and from
subscribtions. In speaking on the
subject Evans said:
"I am strongly in favor of pro-;
fessional golf tournaments and be
lieve them to be of great advantage
to the game. Undoubtedly they
raise the standard of skill and tend
to induce the right sort of men to
enter the professional ranks. It is
also true that in America we have
far too few professional events, and
in so big a country as this the
purses' are not large enough to make
it worth while for the players to
