The warpath of these- Indians during the last flttft'n cars has led into practically all the football strongholds, and so many teams of great renown have fallp-i before the savage but scientific onlaught- of the Carlisle tribe that In some instances the mere thought of another game sends those little cold shivers up and down the spine of the under graduates Thoso fellows have alwavs plavcd good football," said an official recently Just think of the team the had In the davs when Bemis and Haw ley Pierce, and Mount Pleasant Hudson. Johnson, Red Water, and Metoxen were In their prime 'I remember them well." replied a friend 'But where are thoe old stars now' One often hears of the great college plasers In after life, but what becomes of the Indians" Just then Glen Warner came into view.

"Great man. that Warner." said the official He done as much for the In dian as any other man In the country. Seems to know their temperament and can get the very best out of them He first went to the Carlisle School as ath letic head In ISM and with the exception of an Interval of three years lW to 1907 when he coached the Cornell eleven, has been there ever since." Warner talked interestingly for several hours about the Indian gridiron giants of other days. He prefaced his remarks with this- 'Participation In athletics has shown Its value at Carlisle It gives the Indian competition in physical endeavor, and I hav seldom come across a case where a rootball player dldn do better work after leaving the school because of the discipline of the game. I have been able to keep in touch with many of the boys, and they are getting along splendidly.

There Is Johnson, for instance, the AU-American quarter back and captain of the eleven, who completed nis course at Carlisle In 1900. Johnson went to Northwestern University and took a course In dentistry.

"Law and dentistry were the Drofes slons elected by Carl Sickles and Ed Rogers. Sickles made a lasting reputation as an end at Carlisle. When he left the school in VVO he went to Co lumbus, Ohio, and took up the study or scientific tooth extraction He now has a good practice, being- one of the most prosperous members of the Chippewa tribe.

After leaving Carlisle, where he also held down a wing position on the eleven, Capt Rogers went to the University of Minnesota, where he was graduated from the law school. 'He settled down In the town of Walker, lIlniL, where he Is a. prosperous and respected cltixen 'Before Big Jim Phillips had reached the last year of his course at Carlisle, he was head over heels In lore with an Indian maid, who was getting her education there. But Phillips didn't let It interfere with his football playing, and his work as guard In 19Q2 and 1903 was of a superior order. He afterward at tended Northwestern university, and, upon finishing his course, he married the girl of his choice and is now doing well as a fanner in the State of Washington "If there Is one Indian who gained a niche in the football hall or fame It is Charlie Dillon, the big Sioux, who plajed guard In 190, Dillon did many things which keeps his memorrsreen.

Caswell Is another member of the Chippewa tribe. "The tallest and In many wavs the most spectacular Indian who ever wore the colors of Carlisle was Red Water, the giant Cheyenne, who placed guard In 1901 He represented the government in the recent vielt of the Che) enne chiefs to Washington.

Do you think Lajole would consent to be bartered like a "bush leaguer" after seventeen years in the big ring? These are a few questions that fur nish food for sound reflection.

The sad part of the affair, from a Cleveland standpoint, was that Lajole that year, when hla services were so badly needed, had the 'worst season of ila big- league career. Larry played In every game, but he batted only .289 and fielded far below his standard. Only one other time In his life did the big Frenchman fall to ran 300 or better.

For this reason Lajole was sent to Cleveland, the Naps assuming his war-time contract. Eleven leara In Cleveland. Lajole has been in Cleveland for the past eleven vears.

EGAN-DALY BOUT SHOULD BE GOOD Local Boy Tackles One of tbe Best Featber-weignb in Baltimore This Week. Bpeciil to Tbe YfuhUttm Rrnld. Baltimore. Jan. 18.

Judging from the talk it has created among local boxing fans, the Broadway Athletic Club has arranged a popular match for next Fridav evening at the Bohemaln Hall lr the pairing of Kid Egan, the crack Washington feather-weight, and Knockout Johnny Daly, of this dtv. Fgan is popular with the patrons of the ring sport in this city and ever since he made his reputation here he has been a strong drawing card He has taken the measure of practically all of the best feathers In Baltimore and never fails to put up a rattling scrap. That he Is ready for a. hard mill was proven In Philadelphia last Saturday evening when he went through six fast rounds with George Delmont. of New Orleans, before the National Athletic Club, with no decision.

In Daly, Egan will meet a strong youngster, who has been doing clever work In Philadelphia during the tnactlvit) of the local club and a boy who alwavs gives a good account bf himself He Is a hard hitter and has won a big majority of his battles by knockout route. Only recently he laid away Young Harry Lewi-. a Quaker, In the second round and it Is probable that Egan will have to display all or his cleverness to keep out of harm's way. The Baltimorean has been in training a week before the agreements were signed and he will certainly be in the pink of condition by the day of the battle. He Is a wonder when It comes down to assimilating punishment and to win It looks as if Egan will have to be content to outpoint him.

In addition to this mill, there will be three six-round contests and a battle roval put on by Manager Jim Rytina, who plans a card that will prove ery attractive from every Tbe best local talent will be seen In the prelims. BODTHEBN BY. CLGBKS' DUCKTIV LEAGUE. rvtifeE locouatinU. I -Auditors.
