Slugging Second Sacker May, However, Cast Lot With Federal League Team.
GIVES HIS VERSION OF DEAL.
Would Be Only Too Glad to Aid Terre Hau'te Club, But Must First
Consider Own Interests.
By Ralph H. W<e.
Tommy Sheehan, Terre-lr second sacker, who topped the Central leag-ue in hitting during: the past season, has been drafted by the Brooklyn National league club, but so far he has refused to accept the contract offered him by the Superbas' management. Tommy has a Hattering offer from a Federal league club and will sign with the "outlaws" unless the Brooklyn club meets ihe Fed proposition.
Sheenan, in a letter to. the writer, tells just how he stands in the matter. His version is as follows' "Soout Button, of Brooklyn, has been hot after me to sign a contract with the Brooklyn club, which has drafted me for next season, but I have not signed up as yet as I have a flattering ofter from the Federal league, which I am considering. I will go to either club which makes me the best offer. I would be only too glad to give the Terre Haute club the benefit of the draft, but you know we are all out after the coin, and it's up to me to make hay while the sun shines. "I'm to see the Brooklyti scout again in a few days and will make a final decision. Will let you know where Jr land. "By the way, I'm here with 'Dolly Gray, but will strike out for home in a few days. 'Dolly' sends his best to yourself and the fans."
Sheehan is visiting Gray at the latter's home at Greenville, Pa., but will jump over to- Lake county, Ohio, in a few days to spend the winter with the old folks. Tommy should make good at Brooklyn and because of his clouting ability it is thought the Brooklyn club will meet the terms offered the Terre-ir second-Backer by the Federal leaguo.
LOCAL SOCCER TEAM WINS.
The Terre Haute soccer team blanked the Shelburn aggregation in a fast game at West Terre Haute Sunday afternoon before a big crowd. The score was 2 to 0. The first half was scoreless, with Shelburn having the best of the play. The locals rallied, however, in the final period and registered two goals.
Kenmuir and Forneur were the stars or the winners, while McLaughlin was the big noise for the victors. Lineup: TERRE HAUTE (2). SHELBURN (0).

BY BRICKLEY'S LOSS
Michigan Given Good Chance to Down Crimson In Big Intersectional Contest.
BRICK LEY HIDES ILLNESS SAVEIJ BY A TEAM MATE.
CAMBRIDGE, Man*.. Oct. 12.— Harvard's stricken (ootba'i captain, Charley Brlckley, will lead his team against Yale some six weeks hence, ut least that is tvhat he declared today from his cot in the Stillman infirmary. "Tell the fellows I'll be noon up and on the firing line once more."
Bnt for Stant Pennock. Harvard's bite All-American Kuurd. Brickley might have fone to his death Saturday. It was Pennock who informed Dr. Nichols of Brickley's 1UnesM. Brickley himself tried to keep the matter quiet, so he could take part in the Washington and Jefferson game. "A kick in the abdomen would likely have been fatal," said the doctor today.
Telegrams and flowers flooded the infirmary Sunday, including floral remembrances from the Braves and Athletic baseball teams.
Before attempting' to analyze the results of Saturday's football games, most of which resulted as predicted, every follower of the gridiron game cannot help hut feel sorry for Charles BrTckley, captain of this year's Harvard's eleven.
This player, one of the greatest exponents of field goal kicking: in the history of football, was operated upon last Saturday for appendicitis. The affliction will keep him out of the allimportant intersectional struggle between Michigan and Harvard at Cambridge on October 31, although ho may be able to play in the Yale-Harvard game cn November 21 in New Haven.
As the crimson eleven was the undisputed champion of the east last year, arid as Michigan bids fair to be represented by a strong eleven this season, this game has' attracted unusual Interest. Without the sorvlces of Brickley. Harvard will be greatly weakened and its chances of defeating the Wolverines lessened accordingly.
Absence Noted In Last Game. Brickley's absence from Saturday's game with Washington and Jefferson, which Harvard won by the narrow margin of one point, shows he will be missed. Although Mahan, the crimson halfback, was not in the game, Brickley's illness had a lot to do with the result, and unless Coach Haughton selects a good man to take the captain's place. Harvard will have a hard time to retain the laurels It won last year.
It must be admitted that Michigan is e.howlng improvement with the playing of every game. Although at least four Harvard scouts watch every game, tho Wolverines will be a hard team to beat on the last Saturday of this month. Coach Yost is leaving nothing undone to test the ahllity of his candidates and the worth of his plays. Never before has the Wolverine mentor opened up in such style as he has this season and by the time Harvard is met Michigan will be represented by its strongest eleven, which will be versed in the most strategic Yost formations.
May Rebuild His Tenm.
That Coach Haughton will have to rebuild his team fcr this contest is certain. Players were built around Brickley. Defense for his attempts at field poals had been perfected. Special interference for off tackle drives and end runs had been perfected, while tho forwards had been taught how to op^n holes for his line plunges. His cepabilities as an interfercr also had been reckoned, and in numerous other wavs the sterling qualities of this player have been figured upon.
Although he may be partially replaced, the other Harvard players will not enter into the important struggles with the same confidence as they would if Brickley was in his old position. Psye'nclogy Is an important factor in football, and unless the players have confidence in their teammates the result may be disastrous.
Crimson Lucky to Win.
The result of Harvard's game with Washington and Jefferson plainly showed that a lot must be accomplished before the Michigan game. That the Crimson eleven was lucky to escape defeat must be admitted, although the Cambridge team was severely handicapped.
Yale showed its weekly Improvement by defeating Lehigh, 20 to 3, in a game which was a good test for the NewHaven eleven. Princeton had to plav all t)ie football it knew to win from Syracuse, 12 tc 7, while Cornell, after two successive defeats, won from the Carlisle Indians, 20 to 0. Penn also rt-covered from a defeat by winning from Lafayette, 10 to 2, and Dartmouth showed strength by defeating Williams, 21 to S.

ROSE POLY SENDS OUT FIRST "BEAR" STORY
With Joe Carter and Hub McCoy Out of Game, Engineers Appear Up Against It.
By Mild.
C.loom, gloom in chunks, has descended upon the Rose tech football squad anc almost buried what is left of the team under its depressing weight. Wh6n Captain Joe Carter was carried to the side lines during the second quarter of the Rose Not,ic-Dame contest Saturday and it was discovered that his arm was badly wrenched, the Rose men felt that the last blow had 1 fallen. The less of Hub McCoy in the first contest of the year was a hard blow, but the finish of the. captain, the loss of old Joe, who, in the minds of many of the men, seemed almost as invulnerable as Achilles of old, was unbearable. Jap Davis, one of Joo's best l'rionds, and who is said to be the most loyal man on the squad, could not stand up under the misfortune and, throwing his arms about his friend, burst .'r.to tears.
But the man who feels the loss more than any- other is Coach Huebel. After toiling for many weeks and building his team iihout the playing of this one mar. and to teel that this one man was his mainstay and his biggest chance, to then, just one week before the game of he season that really counts, have this hope swept away is a bitter disappointment. He is, nevertheless, determined to make a last stand and he feels, from the spirit displayed Saturday, that his men are behind hiin, and no matter what the dcl3 are, they will not lose their hardearned title, "the Fighting Engineers," but will play the game with Wabash i.ntil the final whistle blows.
The men of old Rose, in spJte of their overwhelming defeat, and their irreparable losses are feeling grimly satisfied over Saturday's showing. Coach Harper complimented Coach Huebel after the game on the splendid fight the wearers of the Rose displayed, and said, that, considering the weight of the Notre Dame team, they had put up ,3. wonderful exhibition. Coach Harper said: "I had no idea that the Ro3e team was so light, for when I was at Wabash the teams Rose sent against us were usually about the heaviest we were compelled to meet. I was surprised twice, when I saw your team today, first, at the light weight of the men, and Inter, during the game, at the nerve and 'never-sav-die' spirit they possessed. I can frankly say that, although my men have more beef than yours, they dc not possess an ounce more of grit."'
INDIANA BADLY BATTERED.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 12.— Bruised and battered, but not wholly disheartened, the Indiana football squad returned from Champaign, 111., Sunday. At least a dozen men received injuries In the Sucker game, Whitaker and Glackrnan being punished the worst. Whitaker played a good game at quarterback until compelled to retire on account of a wrenched knee. His injury may keep him out of the workouts the rest of the week.
On account of injuries Indiana had to use seven ends during the Illini game and some of the men were not accustomed to playing that position. Wbile Purdue and some of the other conference colleges are yet playing minor games in order to get practice, Indiana's schedule was so arranged this yc-ar that the team had to play the two hardest "big nine" battles right at the start, which has resulted in a number of cripples.
Pogue, the star forward passer of the Chamr-aiprn crew, has been with Coach Zuppke for five years, beginning his career as an Oak Park high school star. Indiana's next card is with North western here on Jordan field Saturday and Coach Childs will begin work today for that game.

North Enders Will Work This Week To Remedy Weaknesses Which Developed Saturday.
By "Hank" West.
Now that the first game of the season is over Coach Clogston. of the Garfield high pigskin chasers, will set about this week to make the changes and remedy the weaknesses that the initial tilt brought out. No serious injuries resulted to the north enders from the Robinson clash, but the usual soreness and stiffness after a game noon put In its appearance and the work tonight will be light.
Although the Garfield gladiators put up a good game Saturday, it was evident ly the playing that there were .several weak places in the speedy machine that will have to be remedied by Saturday. Coach Clogston will drill his warriors hard to perfect the play and keep the team in shape for the second setto of the year, which will be played here with the Jasonville high school eleven.
Among the chief difficulties in Saturday's playing was the lack of interference. Especially on the end runs this necessary Item was missing. 'Another important division to be looked after was the poor defense of the forward pass. Several times in the game the enemy would be left a clear field on a forward pass play.
During the playing with the Suckers several of the new men showed up to good advantage. Two of these. "Hookpy" Harris and ''Doggie" Welch, playing at end and guard positions, respectively, were exceptionally reliable. It was the first game for Harris and the way he handled himself showed that lie had the making of a clever little wing man. The willingness with which Welch went in the play and his ability to "make a hole" will probably give! him a place on the varsity from now on.
Another set of report cards were due today and it was expected that some of the athletes made Ineligible by last week's cards will be out in suit again. Arbaugh is the player who every one is hoping will come back to the squad. Art is one of the best ends at the north end institution and his return to the team should do wonders towards strengthening the other forward position.
Art Nehf Loses, 1 to 0.
VINCENNES, Ind., Oct. 12.—The Lafayette Red Sox, Art Nehf pitching, lost to Princeton here Sunday afternoon in the tenth, 1 to 0. Nehf's fumble and wild throw to first followed by a single gave Princeton the verdict. At that, the Terre Haute boy was the star, fanning 17 Princeton batsmen and allowing but three hits. Score: Princeton 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—1 3 1 Lafayette 000000000 0—0 3 1

MACKS REALIZE THEY
All Their Overconfldence Is Gone— Bender's Delay Good Illustration of Athletics' Conceit.
BOSTON, Oct. 12.—The Mackmen "have awakened to the fact they cannot win on class alone, but will have to fight to escape becoming known as the weakest hitting bunch that ever won its way Into a world's series—not excepting Fielder Jones' memorable "hitless wonders." All their overconfidence is gone and it is doubtful if they have enough actual confidence to turn the tide in their favor.
Connie Mack claims they have, and that the Athletics are going to win four out of the next five games, if not four out of four, but his method of speaking reveals the fact he realizes what he is up against. The Athletics themselves are Just beginning to realize it.
As an illustration of the overconfldence with which the Mackmen entered this series, Bender did not reach Shlbe park on Friday until twenty minutes before the game started, and in that interval he had to dress and warm up. Apparently he thought his appearance in uniform would be sufficient to scare the Braves into hiding behind the skirt coat of William Penn's statue until they could retreat to the shadow of Bunker Hill monument for their last stand. What Boston did to Bender's cold delivery is well remembered. If he gets today's assignment he will be on hand at least twenty-one minutes before game time.
BROWNS TAKE TITLE.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12.—The St. Louis American league team Sunday won the city series by defeating the Nationals, 2 to 0, in the first game of a double-header. The second game was tied at two runs when called on account of darkness after the seventh inning. The last game of the se'-ies is to be played Monday, but the Browns, with four games WQn and one lost, have victory assured. Scores:

Bresnahan Signs to Succeed O'Day as Cubs' Manager
CHICAGO, Oct. 12,—Roger Bresnahan, catcher of the Chicago Nationals, has signed to succeed Henry O'Day as manager of the club for 1915, according to a story printed here today. President Thomas, of the Chicago club, would neither deny or affirm the report, according to the paper.
Earl Hamilton Out of Baseball for All me
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12—Earl Hamilton, pitcher for the St. Louis Americans, probably never will be able to play baseball again. This opinion was expressed Inst night by physicians who attended the injured player at St. Mary's hospital in East St. Louis, 111., where he was taken, together with live women, all of whom were injured when his automobile was wrecked on IC&tls bridge before dawn Saturday. A broken collar bone, two broken ribs, a fracture of the left arm, a laceration puncturing the right cheek, and probable internal injuries, sums up Hamilton's condition. The police are holding the injured prisoners at tho hospital while trying to place the blame for the accident.

Irish Feared By Old Ell Coaches, Who Work Hard on Defensive Plans
NEAV HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 12.—Second only in interest to the annual Harvard match is the gridiron meeting scheduled here for Saturday with Notre Dame. It will be the first encounter of the season between eastern and western elevens. The demand for tickets is so great that It is estimated fully 12,000 people will be present.
The Yale coaches believe that Notre Dame will test the strength of the blue j.s no other rival, except Harvard, can this year. No attention has been paid in the Yal? practice to the style of game any eleven was expected to display, but a defense will be worked up for" the Notre Dame forward passing. The Yale defense has been left till every other department of play was well developed, but it is not believed that Yale can defeat Notre Dame without careful coaching for the open game, in which the Indiana collegians excel.
Before the Notre Dame game several changes in the Yale lineup are likely, but the shifts which seem inevitable dvring the next two or three weeks will be made gradually. Although Wiley's

sition has seemed likely before the important games. Wicdeman, at guard, and Charley Shelaon, at tackle, have featured in the line play the past week, and their form can hardly be denied in the final selection of the eleven.
Injuries will play a part in the final makeup of tho team. Von Holt Is hardly a possibility for right tackle again this season, because of the fracture of a small hone of his wrist, and Hal Pumpclly is out of the running, except as a substitute in the role of distance punter. His injured ankle will not allow him to report for two weeks and will rot permit him to endure rough handling in scrimmage play again this season. He is, however, the longest kicker on the squad and is invaluable to relieve the pressure upon an exhausted Yale eleven in the closing minutes of a big game by booting the ball out of danger.
There is little hope that Aleck Wilson will be able to run the elsven in the Notre Dame game. He is recovering from water on the knee, and has not donned his uniform since he was injured. Johnny Basfon has developed into a solertdid quarterback substitute, running the eleven with even greater dash than Wilson.
