Corbett's Victory Over McGov-crn Was One of Prize Ring's Biggest Surprises.

Young Corbett started fighting in ll7, but ha was still almost unknown outside when he was matched to fight "Terrible Terry" McQovern at Hartford, In 1101.

Flashing a brand of football which julte outclassed the Nebraska eleven, the Iowa Hawkeyes trounced the Cornhuskers IS to 0 Saturday after-noon on the local Nebraska's beefy forwards, playing In their first same of the college season, were outcharged by the aggressive Iowa linemen, while the Hawkeye backs ploughed through so consistently and effectively that both of the touchdowns credited to Iowa were fairly earned. A third Iowa touchdown was In prospect, but the final whistle halted the Hawkeyes after they had smashed their way down the gridiron and were within four yards of the Nebraska Tne Iowa offensive was brilliantly executed during- the third period, when the Hawkeyes counted their pair of touchdowns.

In the early days of baseball there was no such universal, feverish Interest In a world's series as is found today. The first clash of this kind was between the Providence club, National league champions, and the New York Metropolitans, pennant winners In the old American association, back In 1884.

Three games were played-all In New Tork. Provlndence winning all of them; The total attendance was only about S.000. The third game of the series was witnessed by only about 200 fans! The opposing pitchers, Radbourne and Keefe, were among the greatest in baseball history, hut they couldn't draw the fans. The coin taken In at the gate went to the magnates, and the players didn't get anvthlng for their services. In 1885 the series was between "Cap" Anson's Chicago White Stockings and Comlskey's St Louis Browns.

The seven games of which two were played In Chicago, three in St. Louis, and one each in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, attracted nearly ,000 admissions. Each of the clubs won three games and one was tied. The players scrapped and fought continually, and It was more like a free-for-all than a world's series. The series of 1 83 was again between Chicago and St.

Louis, and tt marked a great Improvement over the Preceding contests for the world's flag. The Browns won four of the six games played. About 40,000 people witnessed the games, nnd the entire receipts, 214,000. went to the victors and was distributed among the Browns. Anson and his players didn't get a smell.

The 1887 series Was the longest ever staged. St Louis again upheld the honors of the American while Detroit was the National league entry. Fifteen games were played three in Detroit two each In St Louis, Philadelphia and 'Brooklyn, and one ench In Pittsburgh, New 'Tork, Boston, Washington, Baltimore and Chlcngo. Detroit won ten and St. Louis flve gsmcs.

The total attendance was and the gate receipts 242,000, or and average of 22,800 a game, which was considered a wonderful financial achievement. Brdoklyn turned out the largest crowd, neatly 7,000, while only 365 paid spectators appeared at the game played In Chicago. v.1 i.

He wns a brlghrlad, ambitious to get nlong In tho world, so he Just naturally adopted plumb-Ing as tha shortest rosd wealth. He prospered, did Jimmy, and It wasn't long before he was wearing the noisiest clothes in Ban rrancisro ami nolnts east. It was this fondness for sartorial embellishments that led to his undoing. One night Trltt burst in upon a cafe, where, as usual, gasps of ndmlrntlim greeted him, save for ono discordant note. Among those who were lined up st the mahogany was a rude fellow, some six feet In altitude, who nnswered to tha name of Mike.

The glnnt wore the Insignia of an admiral of the Chilean navy, and waa considerably decorated himself, but Jimmy's duds Just naturally mads him look like a piker. 8o the Irish admiral of the Chilean navy busted out laughing, and there was no doubt but that his mlrtrt was directed at James Edward. Now James stood only five feet and a half, snd weighed around 130 pounds, but that didn't deter him from seeking a redress of his righteous grievance. Just one punch from the Infuriated plumber wiped the grin off -the admiral's face and sent him down for the count. The Irlsh-Chll-enn, be It known, hsii a reputation as an expert boxer, and Rrltt's feat made him a hero.

His friends pestered him to go Into the ring and finally he yielded to their entreaties. (Continued on page eight.) CHILEAN AIIH Every year the hunting season brings with It Us spoils In the form of human sacrifices. For the benefit of gunners who are going after game this fall the following list of don'ts is given: DON'T take any chances. The function, of a shot gun la to scatter shot but be very careful whore you scatter It. DON'T blaze away in haste and don't get excited.

Many a shooter has filled his favorite dog full of lead Just because he was over-nnxlous. DON'T point a gun at any person In Jest. It Is always the gun that "we didn't know' was londed" that goes off and does the damage. The only time to point a gun Is when you Intend to kill. DON'T take every rustle of a bush or a bough to be a sure Indication of game.

On the other hand, many wildfowl are jumped and killed while hovering over decoy and moving slowly, and birds like snip and ciiinil are often killed before they have attained fnl spede. Upland birds are not often shot while passing the gun at rluht angles, but K-'nir straight away, yuartcring or Flight of Game Birds The Hawk Is Fastest Flier and Crow the Slowest. While there is considerable variation In the speed of flight of game birds, the table below may be taken as the most accurate approximation of the comparative speed at which the better known wild birds fly. The crow may be taken as an example of the slower flying bird, with a rate of 35 to 65 feet a second, and with nn average speed of 45 miles an hour, while many species of hawks attain the remarkably fast speed of 200 feet a second.

Here Is the table showing the average speed in flight: Qiuall 65 to 85 76 Ruffled grouse 0 to 90 Snipe 50 to 7o f.3 Mallard 55 to 90 75 Husker line Into ribbons and Scott, Bykes and Lohman, tne three Dacus, sifted through In a steady procession of gains. Slater, Iowa's giant colored irii i i lolitnm used In advancing the ball, as the backfleld trio carried the needed punch. The Hawkeyes also excelled in aerial fnnthall everv forward pass but ant rained ground for the Iowa eleven. The first touchdown resulted from a pass. The Cornhuskers resisted with a show of real spirit when the Iowans were on Nebraska's ten-yard line, but Fullback Lohman shot a pass to Captain Reed, left end, who downed the ball across the Nebraska rami.

The second touchdown followed a straight march down the field, the Hawkeyes covering nrty yards a series of line plunges which ended In Lohman driving over the goal. Greenwood, the Iowa kicker, missed both goals. Husksrs Ones On Yard Line. The Cornhuskers made their most formidable bid for a touchdown in tne opening period. Kelly, the Iowa quar-, terback, fumbled one of Hubka's punts and McMahon downed the ball on the Hawkeyes' 18-yard line.

Hubka, Mc-Mabon and Schellenberg then rammed their way to Iowa's one-yard line, but the Hawkeyes rallied an tpok the ball on downs. Another spurt In the final period, when Hubka bucked through the Iowa forwards for over 20 yards, fanned the hopes of. Nebraska supporters. The Huskers followed with two first downs, but the Iowa defense stiffened and the Nebraskans attempted a forward pass, which went wild and rolled to a touch back. ''The Hawkeyes, averaging at least ten pounds less than the Huskers, played the full minutes without making a substitution.

The Iowa victory was the first Hawkeye triumph over the Cornhuskers since the Knipe team of 189 was runner-up In the conference. The Inly department of the, combat la which the Cornhuskers had the edge was in returning kickoffs and punts. Nebraska's returns totalled 73 yards, while the Iowa total was SB yards. Iowa gained 139 yards in ten punts and klckoffg and ten kicks by Nebraska netted 301 yards. Nebraska tried two forward passes and both were failures.

The Hawkeyes attempted four, three of which succeeded, gaining 22 yards. Nebraska reeled off eight touchdowns, gaining a total of 167 yards from snapback. Iowa plunged ahead for 17 first downs, the Hawkeyes' gains totalling 214 yards. The gains by quarters were: Nebraska 42, 33, 62 and 40. Iowa 16, 40, 74 and 84.

Nebraska was set back a to' 1 of 60 yards on five penalties. The Hawkeyes forfeited only nve yards. Nebraska strength was up to standard only on the wings and In the back field. The line, from tackle to tackle, leaked like a sieve and the Hawkeyes outcharged their huskier opponents on almost every play. Ex planatlons calculated to cast discredit on Iowa a victory are not In order In the Nebraska camp.

The Hawkeyes outplayed the Huskers by a fairly decisive margin. Head Coach Kline of JNeorasKa said in discussing the result: Iowa Had Edge tn Experience. "It Is up to Cornhusker followers to give the Iowa team full crerlt. We were outplayed the score proves It and so do the statistics. I was fearful that our line would not be equal to the task of stopping Iowa.

It is a green line and only to of the seven were on fast year's Nebraska team. One advantage in Iowa's favor was that the Hawkeyes played a hard game only a week aro against the Great Lakes Jackles. A defeated tearal always learns football in a hard game. Nebraska; on the other hand, was playing Its first game. The back field and the ends performed well enough to have wrought a different resalt, but we fell down In the line.

Give us a game with Iowa a month or so from now and we could beat them Jour or five touchdowns. The new men on the Nebraska team will be picking up valuable experience all Jong and we will be In shape to show up materially stronger than against Iowa. "Nebraska's next game Is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 12. in Lincoln, the Camp Funston soldiers being the Cornhuskers opponents.

They take a lighted cigarette and place the butt of it against the perforated metal disc which forms the Intake valve for air into the box respirator. Then they "pull" on the rubber mouthpiece and get a putf of the smoke, exhaling the same way. but removing the cigarette end from tho valve. But the only draw bark to smoking while wearing a. gas mask Is the dif ficulty in lighting the cigarette, as when the deadly fumes are about one cannot even remove the mask long enough to light up without taking a long chance on being gassed.

Some of the doughboys can draw hard enough through the rubber tube to light their cigarettes In the regular way, but most of them have to hold 'the end of the cigarette In the flame of a match until the tobacco begins to smoulder. i German prisoners taught the Americans how to smoke through masks, but the operation is much simpler when wearing a German mask, which has a snout like that of a hog, and it Is only necessary to hold the cigarette butt against the nozzle and inhale directly. The Tanks have also figured out a more comfortable way to wear their box respirators in the alert position than the British custom. Instead of banging the apparatus around the neck they draw down the band to the small of their back, passing a cord through It which is tied around he waist Thus the weight of the respirator Is borne by the shoulders and the throat and neck are left free.
