CUP THE ANNUAL Effort to Have Interleague ClashesTake Place of World Series Is Generally Frowned Down On. Chicago, Oct. 15.

There is little likelihood that the world's series as played for the half dozen seasons between the pennant-winning teams of the American and National leagues will be replaced by a general interleague conflict in which every club of one circuit would meet every one in the other. B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, expressed today that opinion, arguing that for the good of the game, the present system should be retained, because of the great interest the series between the champions creates in every town and hamlet. The proposal of August Herrmann, chairman of the national commission for the round robin series was first made several years ago, but not until this fall was it accorded much support.

It is possible Mr. Herrmann may get the. commission at it's meeting here Monday to take up the matter with the clubs, but President Johnson's opposition to the plan probably will delay its adoption for some time at least. ball critics present at the Pennsylvania-Lafayette game a week ago Saturday to see what they could pick up in the way of new football. If they were at all observant they saw more up-to-date football in a single game than was displayed In a whole season on the eastern gridiron last year.

Pennsylvania beat a team which was its equal physically, and greatly its superior In experience, solely by the employment of daring modern football. The forward pass which George Brooke taught his men and with which they overcame Lafayette, was brilliant in conception and execution. This attack was built around one man, Fullback Minds. Not since the days of Houser, the famous Carlisle Indian fullback of four or five years ago, has the writer seen any man who could shoot the forward pass with much direction and for such great distance as Minds. He throws the pigskin just as he would a baseball.

The ball goes straight and true to its mark, rarely ever turning on its axis. His passes vary from 20 to 40 yards. Thirteen times did Minds hurl the forward pass against Lafayette. Seven times it settled into the arms of the man for whom it was Intended. The six times it failed were due to fumbling or interference, never to the inaccuracy of the thrower.

The formation from which Pennsylvania made this play is a brand-new contribution to football, and marked a distinct advance in the effort to make this play consistently effective. Pos-fcibly some team will develop a defense to break it up, but Lafayette was helpless and bewildered. When the play started it had four possibilities, an end run, a line plunge, a punt or a forward pass. As a rule the forward pass was long delayed, the ball crisscrossing in the back field until it was finally returned to Minds, stationed far back and with loads of time to get the playoff. The delay also made it possible for him to have three or four men down the field, any one of them eligible to receive the pass.

With so much latitude and such a wonderfully accurate man to make the pass it was no wonder that that the play succeeded as often as it did.

The football season would be abnormal if it did not have its inconsisten- i cies. One of the hardest things for the critics to explain is the curious brand of football which has been played by Yale this season. The Klis ought to be playing a topnotch game. They began their preliminary practice on Sept. 1, nearly two weeks in advance of any of their rivals.

They opened the season with a splendid 21-0 triumph over Wts-leyan, but at the end of five solid weeks of work they almost went on the rocks when Maine held them to a scoie of 0 to 0. This peculiar result is hard to explain. The week before the Maine team had been swamped by Harvard by the score of 34 to 0. For most of the week preceding the Maine game the Yale eleven was experimenting with a new attack, brought from Minneapolis by Tom Shevlin, who had already guaranteed its effectiveness. There was good reason for Yale to trust the judgment of Shevlin.

Thiee years ago he came to the Ells' help when they looked to be beyond help. At that time the El)s were being butted about by the minor college elevens. Shevlin, who had been helping Dr. H. L.

w'illiams coach at the University of Minnesota, saw there a tacklss shift play, which he thought was the best thing since the invention of tackles back, says an eastern writer. He took the first train for New Haven, and. although it was a week before the championship game with Princeton, the Eli coaches took the new play as the last resort. By diligent work right up to the day of the game the formation was mastered and with It an otherwise weak Yale eleven outplayed and defeated a better Princeton team. Using the same play, Yale a week later played Harvard an 0 to 0 tie.

Reports from New Haven were to the effect that the new play Shevlin taught the Elis was a variation of the old tackles snift and would be just as effective. It had been doing much ex ecution against the scrubs, but when it was tried against the University of Maine it fell flat. The men from Maine held Yale for downs repeatedly. The play proved to be so great a failure that the Yale coaches announced after the game that it would be abandoned entirely and a new style of attack employed. These facts furnish a new insight into Yale's coaching situation.

They indicate an uncertain policy which, if pursued, will surely reduce the effectiveness of the Yale attack. It is rather surprising in vtew of the. ability which Howard Jones has shown as a coach on previous occasions. In 1909 he was at the head of the Yale coaching staff and gradually developed a team which was at its best in the Princeton and Harvard games, and was. in fact, the best team Yale ever had.

How much of its strength was due to the ability of the men and how much to the coach ing has always been a matter of con jecture. Yale, however, has not been disgraced, and there is still ample time for Jones to build up an attack which will bring the Elis out of the rut. But Just now, and especially when they con sider the disasters of the last few years. a good many Yale graduates, not to mention the undergraduate body, are a bit worried. Because it was the biggest game of the week there were a good many foot- Made by the Rtofefc- In 1911 the New York entry was humbled decisively by the same men whose attack crumpled them last week.

They were unnerved. Against Boston last fall they fell in disgrace with the title already in their hands the job was too big for them, and McGraw's wonderful natural driving powers could reach only so far. One may asjt if the Giants are weak-kneed when it comes to a world's title clash, and why it is that their pennant winning jobs are so easy. The answer Is easy. McGraw's natural ability is mentioned above.

He takes a mediocre player, fights back of him and Imbues him with the Idea that he is a star. The dull season gives him plenty of time to drive his men. and their courage is kept up because the competition in the National league is of the kind (Special Dispatch to the Miner.) Oct. 15. The Montana State College football team went into action for its first game here today, defeating the Anaconda Independents, 32 to 6.

in a one-sided same. The five touchdowns for the college were made by Jolly, Street, Carr and Connor. The Anaconda touchdown came on a long forward pass from Sullivan to Kelly and Kelly raced 90 yards down the field for the goal. Coach Bunker used most of his squad In the game today, making many substitutions. The opinion here is that the college has the strongest team they have had for years.

The teams' lineup at the start: Montana College. Position. Anaconda. Heagenry Kelly Left end. Taylor Wendail Left tackle.

Hodgkiss Left guard. Truitt O'Rourke Center. Schattenberg Fitzpatrlek Right guard. Noble Hinck Right tackle. Krumm Lynch Right end.

NOW LISTEN TO THIS. Boston, Oct. 15. "American 'college football is altogether too brutal," said Prince Madikane of Sululand, who has been studying this sport as the guest of Robert P. Storer, captain of the Har vard varsity football team.

The prince expressed the intention of Introducing "milder forms" of the game Into his country, as well as basketball and base ball. HOW COIIIJI SHE DO ITf New York, Oct. 15. Charles Monroe Tesreau, the New Tork National league club's huge pitcher, familiarly known as ''Jeff," got a license today to marry Miss Helena Elizabeth Blake of New Tork. The wedding will be tomorrow.

Tesreau will be the third member of the Giants to marry during three weeks. The future Mrs. Tesreau Is a stenographer. KANSAS IS STRENGTHENED. Lawrence, Oct.

15. The Kan-as university football team will be strengthened soon by the addition of Groft, a big guard who has been 111 with fever, and Capps, who last year was captain of Baker university team. Groft attended his classes today and Capps, an experienced player who is expected to aid to the defensive powers of the team, joined the practice squad. Probably neither of these men will participate in the game against Drake next Saturday. Elect ru-Vita Cured When the Doctor Failed.

Xaiue AdflreMi Town Here's Health for You Cures While You Sleep TIN THE QLQ. IS Football Expert States That Socalled Open Game Is Harder on Players Than So-called "Rough Play." Chicago, Oct. 15. The weekly list of football injuries is appalling as compared to records of "casualties" in combats of 10 years ago, according to an authority on the gridiron game writing today In the Chicago Daily News. Despite the new rules, many of which were designed to eliminate roughness and lessen chance of Injury, the "new" game makes the "old" look like a "parlor pastime," he says.

The critic does not blame the modern code or method of play for all the injuries, but says that the changes have in part defeated their very purpose because they are responsible for losing of the skill with which old-time players avoided injury. He cites the instance of one University of Chicago player, weighing only 142 pounds, who went through four seasons under the old rules, carrying the ball more than any other player on his team, and yet asked for "time out" only once. Several years later a successor to this player, weighing more than anv other player, weighing more himself and opposing men of less weight than th "old timers," was taken out in his first college game suffering more bruises than the first named got in his whole career, according to the critic. TIGERS GET JIT ELEVEN Princeton. N.

Oct. 15. With five of their regulars out of the game, the freshman football eleven fought the varsity this afternoon for 45 minutes and held the first team to a 15 to 9 victory. Hogg, a former Andover guard, proved a Nemesis for the Tiger backs, and not until he was removed could the varsity make any consistent gains. Hogg, with Captain Uriggs at fullback for the freshies and LIgler, a freshman tackle, kept Captain Baker so well covered that his attempts to get away on a long run were futile.

Driggs managed to break through the varsity line for a 55-yard run and a touchdown, while Logers, quarterback for the cubs, kicked a field goal from the 43-yard line. AGGIRS FIM MEAT. Manhattan. Oct. 15.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS i 1 SECOND AMERICAN LEAGUE That Is Emphatically Illustrated by Humbling of Giants by Strong Philadelphia Athletics Recently. New York, Oct. 15. Humiliated, broken In purse and spirit. New York Is now willing to admit that the Athletics won the 1913 world's championship because it is the superior team.

There are no aJiois that will stand the acid test and John McGraw is not as firmly established on his pedestal as he was before the series. It is grudgingly conceded that Connie Mack, the silent, easy-going, watchful leader of the Athletics, has assembled a high-class bunch of players. Bender, Plank and Bush form a trio that dashed the hopes of New York and cut appalling swaths in many bank rolls. Hundreds of dinners, predicated upon easy victory for the Giants, will never be given. Instead, numerous fans will have hard picking at lunch counters this winter.

The coming trip around the world has lost much of Its glamor, since the Giants will be unable to travel as the world champions. New York pinned its faith on Giant success chiefly on the strength of its pitching staff. With the Incomparable Mathewson at the head of the list it was felt that with any sort of a break in luck the Athletics would be worn down and eventually beaten. Small account was taken in advance of the hitting ability of the Mackmen. Consequently their smashing tactics upset all the dope and took the heart out of the Giant pitchers.

The Giants appear to have relied too strenuously upon their ability to drive cut long hits, whereas timely sacrifice hits would have undoubtedly helped them to 2 more scores. The Athletics made five sacrifices, the best batters not hesitating to sacrifice In order to advance a runner. McGraw Sole Dictator. Connie Mark did not depend entirely on his own judgment in the critical series. Ho took counsel with Davis.

Collins, Bender, Thomas and Murphv In all pinches. On the other hand. Mc-Oraw was the sole dictator of the Giants' play, and every man looked to him when at the hat or on the field for instructions. In defeat he takes the entire responsibility upon his own shculders and has no word of censure for anv play or player. McGraw is a game fighter and a good loser.

He accepted defeat without any show of anger, taking the loser's end like a man. fighting his way through a wild rnoh to grasp Mack by the hand and congratulate him. That the triumph of the Athletics is a clean-cut victory for the American league as a leaarue Is a certaintv. The manner In which the Giants were handled has reopened the old argument ns to which league can boast class. Th series just closed has caused the American lenirue adherents to sing louder than before.

The series showed that the comparative records of the two leagues mean nothing. In other words, the fact that McGraw boasted four of the most consistent pitchers in his leacue didn't mean that their effort ivencss wotibi hold against the Athletics the best hitters In the junior circuit. TV Mack-men walloped that quartet Vathew-son Tesreau. Marquard and Dcmarei- with greater ease than thev hit the leading pitchers of their own league There Is foofi for thought therein. Mackmen Rang Ball.

While the above makes the younger league seem stronger there being nothing more convincing than the old free walloping of the ball one must consider the National league Giants from the standpoint of temperaments. 1 I that they run Into something easy Just after finishing something of the tough quality. And it's a well-known fact that the weak of that circuit outnumber the strong. The records -show It to have been a three-club leasrue for the last 10 years. In a world's series these same players, driven to their utmost, break.

Yet Another Annie. Looking back over the Giant wreck there is another angle to be considered. In 1911 one's life wasn't worth a "jitney'' here if Baker's hitting powers were mentioned. Luck of the worst kind was what islanders chose to call it. Baker's knocking two home runs out of the lot that fall was a mere "happening." It wasn't because Baker had the ability to do it regularly.

On the Tuesday afternoon on the Polo grounds, Marquard was pitching. He was pitching in 1911 when Baker put one ball over the wall. On t'is day mentioned above, Baker stepped up with a man on base. He hit the ball into four-base territory, and New York was beaten with that smash. Marquard never attempted to alibi himself.

Hereafter they will admit down here that Raker can hit the ball, and hit it regardless of how the pitchers dish it up to him. The speedy ending of the series means the loss of $45,000 to the New York and Philadelphia clubs. All tickets had been disposed of for the sixth game in Philadelphia, as It Is the rule to sell all the tickets In series of three. The result is that all holders of tickets for the third game in the Qttaker city will get a refund, which means the magnates must turn hack $45,000 actually In hand.
