He Is rated by experts the greatest third baseman of the day. Tfc- hj. y. U. scoro easily when McMullin doubled over second.

The second and deciding run of the contest was a home ru-i drive by Felsoh in the fourth. The Sox centerflelder caught one of Sal-lee sweeping curves on the end of his bat and sent the ball soaririg more than 400 feet into the left center blachers. It is doubtful If a lustier bone run blow has ever been delivers ed in a world's series. The Giants' lone tally came In th following inning when Catcher S1o-Carty hammered out a three base hit Felsch and J. Collins which might have gone for a home run also had the Giants backstop been alie to run faster.

Recently recovered from a broken leg, however, the best Mc-Carty could do was to reach from whiuh point he scored easily on Sallee's single. There were several other times when the Giants threatened but in every case sensational plays by the White Sox turned them back. The outstanding example ot these wonderful defensive plays was a shoo string: catch by Jackson In the seventh inning when he swept In on the run and caught McCartys' drive just off the grass and finished with a somersault, coming up with the bali in his hand so quickly that Holke was easily held at first which he had reached as the result of a single to right. Another unusual angle of the play was the fact that Cicotte was forced to work harder as the winning pitcher than Sallee who went down to de- eat after hurling a creditable gair In every respect. The tendency of the White Sox to hit anything that looked good InstesA of waiting out the opposing pitcher illustrated by the fact that Salle threw only opposing pitcher was illu -trated by the fact tha'.

Sallee threw only eight-six balls ei eight innings. Cicotte's total for nine innings was 101. tjich pitcher was a bit off in tho third inning. Cicotte threw twenty times in that session, nine of his o'-ferings being balls, two clean strikes, three foul strikes two fouls, one h't safely and three hits to fielders. In the same Inning Sallee sent up five balls, five clean strikes, was found for three safe hits and had two pitches hit to n.

x. a. sncit Furman Will Elay Clemson October 13 Member of Greenville Ambulance Company At Camp Jackson on Furlough The Furman football squad will start to work Monday preparing for one of the hardest games of the season which will taka place next Saturday with Clemson as their opponents. Not a man was seriously hurt in the game with Wake Forest and the experience gdined will be worth a great deal to the young material Coach has had to work with. Coach Laval deserves a great deal of credit for the credible showing made by his light green taam against the heavy ai'd experienced team of tho Baptist.

eollcRe of North Carolina. He has iiiStiiled clean stralgl.t fighting qualities into his men and that is no small jco to do in tlio short pace of four wceics. Furman only returned two nun who were varsity men last year. p.er in tho buckfleld and Shirley in tho line. Both played great in the game yesterday.

Shirley was ir- every play and is out for an end position on the all-state at the close of the season. Waters a frhman at Furman played a nice game at half-bck and is ocpect-e 1 show better as the season pro-grerses. The tntire line from end to erd played good football and witn a little more experience should be able t) hold their own against any team in the state. The game next Saturday wIP undoubtedly attract large crowds from the soldiers as there are of Clemson men in the ranks of the soldiers and Cleimson has a great num- jber of supporters In Greenville. Tiis game will start at three-thirty and will be staged at Riverside Park.

Interest In football is increasing Greenville and the team at Furman warrants the support of the entire city. Before you return home do not over-look a trip to The Land of the Sky. Battery Park Hotel, Asheville, N. C. 4b their decision that Ilurman is accredited the victory.

Be that as It may, the chief object of attention Is the game itself. It was the first time In fifteen years that the two Baptist Institution of South and North Carolina had met on the gridiron, although the presidents of each of them are brothers. Both had played Tech on the previous Saturday and incidentally been defeated. For the first half of the game there was very little enthusiasm be-cause of the lack for anything to be enthusiastic over. Both teams played straight football and neither was successful.

It was the wishy-washy tale of three unfruitful downs and kicks. Indented occasionaly by pretty end runs which were always cut down before they were availing. Wake Forest came within 8 yards of the Furman goal during the second quarter but upon being thrown back 15 yards for penalty were unable to regain the lost territory. During the second half, however, an Impetus for excitement was afforded through more hard and scrappy fighting and introduction of new plays. Furman worked the fake pass formation with great success; and Waters was able to rush the ball' down the field at often and opportune times.

Speer cut loose on end runs with success wherefore he had been checked almost every time in the first half. All scoring was done In the last quarter, Furman making her points first when Speer ran eight yards around right end for a touchdown. The ball had been placed in this position at the beginning of the quarter after Nixon had caught a forward pass and put the line within a few steps of the poles. The goal which Speer kicked after this touchdown has been the object of all the dickering. Then a few minutes later came Wake Forest's touchdown and it was almost served them on a silver platter.

After three downs on the 65-yard line, Rabenhorst kicked to the ten yard line, Speer fumbling the ball and Wake Forest recovering it within easy access to the goal. Their line was heavy and inch by inch they were able to ooze the oval into the sunshine area but in doing so had to face extreme opposition from both the Furman line and backfleld. Their objective having been gained, an attempt to add another point to their total by kicking goal was thwarted when the quarterback made his punt Out of reach of the receivers. The game ended up in a whirlwind with both teams fighting with a vengeance in endeavoring to Increase their points which were obscure on account of the referee's decision. The game was devoid of any spectacular features but was characterized more by steady and consistent playing on the part of both teams.

Wake Forest outweighed Furman probably 15 pounds to the man but the plucky S. C. Baptists waded Into them as if the scales were balanced, and with this temperament found little trouble in combatting the excess avoirdupois. The Furman team was light and fast while their opponents, especially the linemen, were rather sluggish. The baekfield was a fair match for the Greenvlllians, and Rabenhorst especially, who time and again made profitable gains through his lightning work around the ends.

He rivals Furman'! own Speer In the matter of celerity. Many forward passes were tried CRACK PLAYER IN WORLD fl KOULK Fred McMullin, third baseman ot the Chicago White Sox, la a crackajack, all around bnll player. This marks his first experience In a big series, and much good work Is expected from him at third base and tthebat ThnN t- -nr- xjy pa ftS Victory of 7 to 6 of Local Boys Questioned By the Coach Of the Visitors DECLARES THAT PLAY WAS CALLED "OFFSIDES" With a "shoestring" team, which has been developed from a mere handful of recruits Into a worthy and formidable aggregation, Furman pranced her way to victory over Wake Forest yesterday afternoon in the first game of the season by the score of 7 to 6. Those several hundred spectators who ambulated to the Riverside park to review the conflict were thrilled with surprises at the wonderful little team that Bill Laval has built up out of raw material In the short time of a month. While Wake Forest also presented many new faces in the cast, they outweighed the Greenville boys considerably and It was only through a resistance of "blood and Iron" that the Furmanltes launched their 1917 season with a victory.

But the question among the Wake Foresters is, "was it a victory?" Coach OTonnell made a protest to The News last night questioning both Furman's goal after touchdown and touchdown. He asserts that the headllnesman called "offsides" on the play that Furman crossed on, and also that the original decision of the referee in regard to the non-validity of the goal after touchdown should be sustained. It was not until after the game that this goal was declared "good" and the opposing coach contends that It Is not fair to change the decision after leaving the field. However, Referees Juhan and Holmes are staunch in upholding that Suffered Two Years With Pellagra, Couldn't Walk About The House, Iron Built Her Up TELLS WHAT KIND OF IRON TO TAKE Every one's energy, vitality, and peneral good health depends so much upon the condition of their blood, and the normal functioning of the vital organs of the stomach, kidneys, livers and bowels, the slightest irregularity should be corrected immediately. Any one troubled with their blood, for instance, is sure to sooner or later experience uric acid pains, weak, lame back; lost strength; nervousness, headaches; dizzy spells, or some other kindred symptoms, and iron has become so well known as the one best remedy everybody should use it.

The question is, in what form? Iron is put up by the chemist in pills, liquid solutions, and mixed with all sorts of elements including, in some cases altogether too much alcohol for the good of the system. The cheapest, strongest, most efficient remedy is plain, natural iron, highly concentrated, and bottled just as nature intended it should be taken. St is called Acid Iron Mineral, is sold by druggists in fifty-cent and dollar bottles. It goes irom iwo six umes as far. It will help the digestion, stomach, kidneys and blood.

If the bowels are inactive a good liver pill like the A I Liver Pill at 25c for a generous size box is recommended. People with normal bowels should not use iron formed in combination witn laxatives. Altogether too many remedies contain purgatives. To indicate how quickly Acid Iron Mineral will cleanse the blood and tone up the general system and re-ew the wasted strength the statement of Mrs. N.

E. Phillips, of Kershaw. S. C. is quoted below: "I began to be troubled with my bowels, stomach and blood a little over two years ago.

It finally turned into pellagra and at the end of that two years suffering I couldn't even walk about the house. Mrs. Ella Hunter suggested I take Acid Iron Mineral and after taking it six weeks and using but four small bottles, I am up and about doing my work and gaininft In strength every day. It has done me more good than anything I have ever tried and am glad indeed ft recommend it to any one who needs a good tonic or for pellagra or stomach trouble. A tcaspoonful of Acid Iron Mineral In a glass of drinking water after meals makes an unusual, powerful, economical and delightfully invigorating tonic, appetizer, blood and kidney remedy.

A large dollar bottle if druggist hasn't It, will be sent prepaid on receipt of price by the Ferroaine Chemi- Corp- w-antwV MRS. PHILLIPS TAKES IRON IF BLOOD IS BAD Joe Jackson Makes Wonderful "Shoestring" Catch of Mccarty's Powerful Drive RECEIPTS FOR GAME WERE OVER $73,000 CHICAGO, Oct Eddie Clcotte of Detroit, pitcher extraordinary to the Chicago Americans, piloted his team to victory today over the Nlw York Nationals by a score of 2 to 1 in the first game of the 1917 world series. He was the master of the Giants at every stage of the contest which thrilled followers of the local American league champions and sent them away from Comlskey park convinced that after several years of waiting, the highest titular honors of the baseball field were to fall to Chicago. Cicotte was ably by the White Sox machine which played almost faultless ball against the determined stand of the National league standard beareTS, who would not admit defeat until the final catch' of Robertson's fly by John Collins ended the contest- Cicotte's team mates played with certainty or victory and the combination proved too much for the Giants. An even 33,000 spectators paid admission to the field of the club with a result that $73,152 was divided among the players, clubs and the National commission.

Of this amount the players received each of the clubs $13,167.36 and the National commission There was not a vacant seat In the amphlteatre when the players took the field, and hundreds of disappointed fans' thronged the streets, unable to penetrate the police lines. Every point of vantage which in any way overlooked the diamond was ac-cupied long before the game began! Th sloping room ina towers of the seventh regiment armory were thronged with soldiers and sailors, while all nearby trees and fences bore human burdens. inside the park the crowds overflowed bleachers and pavilions until the fans were rows deep behind the center field fence. Many of these had stood in line all night and were lined up by thousands when the portols were opened early In the day. By noon the last space was filled and the doors closed.

After that hour the only persons to enter the park were the fortunate holders of reserved seat coupons. The scenes among the fans were much the same, as in all recent series. Flags were used for decorative purposes throughout the park and there were the usual bands, singing and photographing and movie camera operators who snapped, and cranked their machines before and during the game. A touch of color foreign to foregoing series was furnished by the presence of more than 1,500 members of the officers reserve training corr- from Fort Sheridan. Grouped In a bo 'y the pavalion back of firs: base, their kahkl uniforms and bui burned faces supplied a background -vhlch contrasted sharply with the remainder of the civilian gathering.

There were comparatively few women among all the thousands who witnessed the play. The per centage of females appeared not more than one to 100. There was also a notable ab-senre of tho continuous cheering which the rivalry of the series had forecast. There were not lacking moments when the rose enma.sse. however, and nurled their vocal ofer-lng across'the field, for the game with catches.

Ions hits and the breaks which mark thj line dividing victory and defeat, the enthusiasm of the occasion even the weather at the last moment furnished a perfect setting for the diamond battle. A blue sky flecked with a film cloud looked down upo'i the strusgiiig players and the stiff south wind failed to interfere wl'. their work. Under foot the field, although trifle soft from the rain of Friday was true and there was not a mlscue which could be attributed to poor fielding conditions. While the box score showed littlt, advantage one way or the other between the teams, the fact remains thut the White ttox, for the day at least, showed a faster and better machine than the Giants.

Both the tnflelu and the outfield worked with perfect judgment and harmony and the flayers collectively and individually no operated to a higher degree than was the case with the National league combination. The men of Rowland with Clcotte on the mound played wltn a dash and vim which was an outstanding featuro of their work. Tney were flret to score, gwtherlt.g In their Initial run In the third when, after Schalk had been retired at flrsi by Zimmerman, Clcotte single through second. John Collins followed with another to right and Clcotte was thrown out at third by Robertson while Collins took second on tht throw from' tha midway aack waa abl tn Tech Overwhelms of Pennsylvania ATLANTA, Oct. 6.

eGorgia Tech overwhelmed the University of Pennsylvania at football here today, 41 to 0, and outplayed the easterners In virtually every department of the game. The Jackets first score was made In less than two minutes after the game started, when Strapper, veteran right half back, who had teen Injured this morning In an lutomobile accident, run 70 yards thiough a broken field for a touchdown. Harland, for Tech, intercepted a forward pass pass ir. the third quarter and ran 65 yards for another touchdown, The Red and Blue were unable to endanger the Jacket goat ex- I cept once when they fought their way to Tech's 20-yard line, and lost the ball on attempted for- ward pass.

The star of the visiting team was Habenhorst, left half-back, who did practically all of the backfleld running. He also received rigid interference from his supporters, who opened up wide gaps for his journeys into hostile territory. This man is a freshman who starred last year in high school football. Within a year or two he should develop Into an all-star artist provided he Is not drafted. Furman Team Good When one looks at the assets that Coach Laval had on hand at the beginning of practice with which to build up a team and then thinks of the showing those same men made yesterday, the transformation is almost phenomenal.

Every man on the team played with only one thing In sight, and that victory. The game brought out every feature of the expression from Coach Heisman of Tech that "Furnian his the best new team he ever saw," and that "they are light, fast and plucky." These are the spirits instilled in them by their coach and it is his enterprise that has caused Furman to continue the high standard of athletics which have put her on the map for the past few years. Speer Is the whole backbone of the baekfield and did notable work in every department of the game. He ran signals, plunged lines, strayed away for a twenty-yard swath around the ends, butted down interference, put life In the whole team and as a reward got several gashes and blood In his face. Waters, a new man, who shares one of the halves with Speer, was one of the decided stars of the game also.

He made several long gains through fake pass formations which lead hin. through the tackles. Shirley at end was also In his old-time style and especially In the last half of the game plucked the Tarheel Baptists nip and tuck. In fact there is not a man on the team who does not deserve credit. The line held like putty when wedges were tried upon them and the back-field was always on hand for defense.
