Coach Stiehm's a Hit At Indiana U.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 2».— Coach Ewald Stlehm, who is starting his first season at football at -Indiana university, after a big success with Nebraska last fall, already has tho confidence and enthusiasm of both players and students. With the material on hand this season there is every reason to believe Stiehm will develop a team that will make an excellent showing In the conference.
Stiehm developed w fast team last year at Nebraska and with much poorer talent than he has to work with here. Over fifty men have turned out and while the squad does not look as heavy as last season, it is hoped they will show a speed that will more than discount the loss of beef.
At a recent meeting of the football candidates Stiehm assured them in a speech that with the help of the student body in the way of spirit and interest and. with reasonable regard to the enforcement of training rules Indiana should turn out one of the best teams in the conference. Stiehm believes, firmly in the value of strict training rules. In a list he has printed and distributed among the members of the squad he say« that violation of the training rules is treason to the school.
At both ends of the football field large arc lights have^een placed with powerful deflectors and the team is able to practice with the "ghost ball" at night. Graduation made eleven holes among the "I" men of last fall and there Is keen Competition among candidates In filling these places. Captain Mcintosh, after recovering from recent operation, will probably appear at halfback, with Erehart as the other half. Hess and Hiatt of last year's freshman team are hoping to fill Whitaker's place at quarter, while
be a hard fought affair with Wabash on the long end. The Scarlet, strong on tackle through plays, are expected to be hard to stop, although the Rose line is charging better than ever. Last year, Wabash worked a series of tackle plays tbat Were dangerous and Coach Sheeks is hardly likely to discard his ground gainers, especially so early in the season.
Wants 20 Point Margin.
From an Inside source has been learned that Coach Sheeks has instructed his men to register 20 points and then fall back onto the defensive. That task ought to be accomplished as per instructions, although not without a battle. Rose may score. The team hasn't as many plays as will come later, but a few "sneak" plays have been polished up which coupled with some swell forward passes, may cause the "Little Giants to sit up and take notice.
But don't anticipate an upset. Poly has only an outside fighting charvce. It would be quite an accomplishment for a green team like Rose to defeat the state champions in their first game, and while it is possible it J^n't probable. It should be a battle with the title holders having Just a shade too much in stock for Mefford's Engineers.
The team and student rooters will depart for Crawfordavllle on a special train Saturday at 12:10 and at least 25 auto parties will tour, to the battlefield.
Here's Probable Ltnelp.
Here's the probable Rose lineup at the first whistle: Floyd, c. Henry and Barnes, g. Bake and Davis, t. Glynn and Orr, a. Werneke, q. Buck and Hoff, h. b. Gale, f." b.
The practice yestefday afternoon was brisk, but light. The fellows are in good physical condition. The tapering process will be continued this afternoon when only,enough work will be permitted to keep the warrior's "cork" in shape.
Hit 'em hard, you Engineers!

Bowser, Crosby and Harris will bid strong for places in the backfield. Aside from the regular football work. Physical Director Kas^ gives the squad a good drilling in calisthenics every morning.
DOOCERS PLAY GIANTS AFTER PHILS' SERIES
Will Close Season With New York, While Quakers Are Battling Braves.
CANT ARRANGE: FOR SEMES.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—Because of tbe tightening up of the pennant race in the National league, no official information on the world series frill be given out until next treble, it was said at American league headquarters here today. The meeting of the national commission, which iras expected to take place the latter part of this week for the purpose .of arranging the. schedule for the big series, has been' postponed' until early next week, when the stfembers will assemble in New York to await the outcome.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia today are close to a tie in one of the most exciting: finishes seen in many years for tTie Kational league championship. Brooklyn has the advantage by a technical half game, but the Philadelphiaris are closer than that in percentage because' they have played fewer games than the leaders.
The actual standing, carried out to six figures, gives Brooklyn a percentage ot .60S108 and Philadelphia .606897.
Brooklyn arid Philadelphia play today and tomorrow and then Brooklyn will finish the season in a four game Beries with the record-breaking New York club. Philadelphia wilf*end the schedule by playing six games in four days with Boston, which still has an outside chance for the flag.
In the American 'league, Boston Is two and one-half games In front of Chicago, having dropped back half a game yesterday by losing to Nfew York, while Chicago and Detroit were idle.
Boston now has only to win three out of the five remaining games in order to keep out of reach of Chicago, if the latter should take all four games from Cleveland. Boston's remaining games, two with New York and three with Philadelphia, are at home.
The standing of the three leaders today is: Boston, .591.
Chicago, .672. Detroit, .668.
Heal Takes 3-RaiI Toga
The elusive three cushion championship was captured by Hugh Heal", of To ledo, who defeated Charles McCourt, of Pittsburgh, 15(^ to 139, in the three night (series for the Brunswick emblem. McCourt won the title last season from Charlos Bills, who wrested it from A1 fredo De Oro, and subsequently defended it against the challenge of Pierre Maupome.
Heal fell four points behind on the first night's play, but made up this deficit on the second night, and took lead of fifteen points. With this big advantage Heal was picked to win
The final was a slow game, inter^ spersed with a lot of safety play, and not until the ninety-eighth inning did Heal make his winning shot. McCoqrt scored 64, while the Toledo player was his complement. High runs making were absent, McCourt's best run being three, while Heal had a 4.
Swamp Red Sox Offices With Bids for Tickets
BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 29.—The greatest world's series in history was the outlook at the Red Sox office today, and every mail is piling the stacks of reservations higher and higher.
Secretary Eddie Riley, with his assistants, tackled the tabulating of reservations, and indications are that a night force will have to be established to take care of the fans. While this is going on President Lannln is winding up arrangements to use Braves' field, the biggest ball park in the country.
Although the pennant still remains to be clinched by the Red Sox, every one in Boston Is confidently counting that Beantown will be one of the terminal fo rthe series.

The Tribune will send Ralph H. White, sporting editor, to Crawfordsvllle Saturday to "cover'' the Rose Poly-Wabash football contest.
The game, first of the season for both teams, promises -to be a hard fought game with Wabash liked to win.

LOCAL H. S. ELEVENS FACE TOUGH GAMES WILEY TRAINS HARD
FOR AIM TUSSLE
South Siders, Expecting Bitter Tilt, Have Prepared Accordingly Brownsburg Classy Foe.
By Ralph H. White.
Wiley high is in good shape for the alumni tilt which is to be staged at Rose field Saturday afternoon along with a tussle between Garfield and an aggregation of "old heads."
The red and white athletes have trained hard for the mix-up with the alumni. They expect a battle, although the "old heads" haven't been out any this season to talk of. But such exstars as "Fat" Miller, Goodrich, Kurtz and Self are sure to make it Interesting and the Saturday affair promises to be a gay old contest. Here's the Alumni squad to date: Self, e. Howard, c. Hess, t. T. Hopp, F. Hopp, g. Ades, 6, Mctaciows, h. b. Goodrich, f. b. Maxwell, h. b.: Jones, e. ICppert, e. Clark, q. Tressel, t. Ferguson, h. b., and Bishop, h. b.
One thing sure, the actual experience to be gained will be of great benefit in preparing the eouth-Bidersv for their first real struggle of the season. In the opener, Brownsburg will be met*. Some team that. For several years Brownsburg has ranked high in the state high school scramble, and this year should be no exception. Truly, Wiley is meeting class in Brownsburg.
It now looks as if Carl Wern^Jce, brother of Raymond Werneke, last year's all-state high school quarterback, is the best bet for the quarterback Job. although Motz is giving him a run for the money. Werneke has one fault, however, which must be overcome. He doesn't realise that the position is a most important one, and is inclined to "monkey" along instead ofc jumping in with both feet and giving the team all he has in stock.
Another player who looks good Is Capt. Raymond Harris. The big lineman is in great physical condition and has his co-workers on their toes from, A to Z
Manager' L. B. Webster has been forced to turn down a game with Georgetown, 111., high, Tribune Wabash valley trophy holders, because of a lack of a suitable date. Georgetown offered the local school Oct. 14, tout Jasonville is booked for that date and no switch could be made. Tough luck, as .such a game would be a dandy.
The alumni setto Saturday will be called immediately after the Garfield vs. Alumni game, which is scheduled to start at 2 o'clock.
Watch Wiley.

A STUBBORN CONTEST
Great Galaxy of "Old Heads" Will Play School Team in Annual Mix-up.
By Ralph H. White.
When the Garfield Alumni trots out on the field Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the annual frolic with the school eleven, some of the best of the "old heads" will be in the thickest. Here are a few of the former stars who will stack up- against the regulars:
Hicklin, G. Farmer. J. Farmer, Minnick. Pence, Shea, Losier, Oxford arid Canine.
Quite a galaxy of stars, don't you think? To "Yabe" Hicklin will fall the task of leading the aggregation. The little quarter is in good shape and ought to stand the strain without difficulty. Pence will be placed at center, a position he filled with marked success in his high school days. G. Farmer, full back of merit a few seasons ago, will do much of the line smashing for the "old heads." The others will fill line or back field berths and all can be de-
§argain.on
ended to uphold their end of the Against the Alumni, Coach Clogston will pit his best players in an effort to touch off the season successfully. And it ought to be some battle. The warring forces will go. to It promptly at two bells with the Wiley vs. Alumni game booked to follow.
Some twenty-four candidates were out in suits, new ones) at that, after school yesterday afternoon. Coach Clogston pushed his charges hard.' A blackboard dril} In the gym was first, after which the warriors cut loose on the field back of the school. It was
ft
rood and dark before the leader called quits for the day. The athletes are coming oulj, of the "kinks" right merrily and' the outlook is brighter than In years. It certainly looks Garfield in both the state championship mixup and the contest for The Tribune Wabash valley championship trophv.
One thing sure, the north end machine will be well balanced and it will tftke some eleven to stopi it.
Guard, Garfield.
