Football prospects received a new impetus during the last week, with the announceBient that Gavit will be back at Wabash this year, giving Coach Townsend his last year's back Held to form a nucleus for the team this year. Track and basket ball prospects also have loomed up with the college entry list for the coming year.

The fact that men entering the college aJtid taking the military drill in the student's army corps, will be exempt from the draft for one or more 7earn has added to the athletic squads for ih«* year Many high school men with football, track and basket ball experience have entered the school.

Another boost was given the gridiron hjpe3 last week when it was learned that, Frank Cash, the big lineman of l«pt year's sound, had been Riven a le-av© of absence urn the Naval Reserve school for i.ic year. With the return of Captain Neal Kins, the other halfback Huflfine, quarter: Naber, center. and Moltzer. end. with many new TOen, prospects for a winning eleven loom up brighter than in previous years when there was no war to call the men away.

The major baseball leagues' season close with today's holiday games, with the Chicago Nationals and Boston Americans winners of the championship of their respective leagues. The Cubs clinched the national pennant a week

Sunday, while the Red Sox didn't make sure of the American title until Saturday. The teams wili meet at Chicago Wednesday in the first game of the world's series.

In the National League, Chicago, after breaking even last Sunday, with Brooklyn, divided a six-game series evenly with Cincinnati. They blanked the Ueds with five hits Thursday, while MitclieH of Cincinnati shut out the Cubs with four hits Friday. Tyler and VaugHn allowed Pittsburgh four hits and 110 runs yesterday.

Toney and Perritt did remarkable pitching for New York and assured the Giants of second place in the race. Tn his three victories Toney allowed two runs and twelve hits. Perritt pitched a flve-hit and two-hit shutout, but failed against Brooklyn Saturday, although yielding only I'.ve hits.

Reds Take Third Place.

Pittsburgh faltered and Cincinnati took third place from the Pirates yesterday by winnins a double victory over St. Iouis. Philadelphia will have to win both games today against Brooklyn to wrest fifth place l'rom the Superbas.

National Successful In Only Five of Thirteen Championship Disputes —Other Dope,

Regardless of the outcome of the com ins: world series, the lead secured in recent years by the American league teams is sufficient to hold the National league in check though the senior league standard bearers were to capture the baseball classic in the easiest possible fashion. The clash of ISIS will be the fourteenth under the auspices of the national commission and of the thirteen series which are now part of diamond history the American league clubs have won eight, while five have been the portion of the National,.

The last victory by a National'league team w,-vs the record performance of the Boston players in l!U 4 when the Braves swept the Philadelphia Athletics before them in four straight games, whicTi caused the eventual disruption of the famous Shibe park baseball machine. Previous to that time the record for the shortest series was held by the Chicago Nationals of 1?07. In that year the team led by Frank Chance defeated the Petroit Americans, four games to none, hut. the series required five contests, as the opening game resulted in a 3 to 3 tie.

But one other series developed a tie game. This occurred in the meeting of the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans in the memorable conflict of 1912. This series, which still holds the record for number of games, attendance and gate receipts, went full eight contests before the Boston Red Sox emerged victors. More than a quarter of a million of fans attended the "games and the gate receipts were a trifle more than $400,000. Each player on the winning team received $4,024. while the losing Giants found a balm for thffiv defeat in the fact that, their end amounted to $2,.rt6 per man.

Although the American league teams hold a safe margin in series won, the total in games and runs is far closer. Of the seventy-two games played in the thirteen series, to date the junior league team has won thirty-seven and the National league clubs thirty-three.' while two ended in ties. The lead in runs is almost as narrow for the American league teams have amassed a total of 244 in the seventy-two games to the Nationals' 2"9.

TODAY'S GAMES'MARK END OF MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON

In the American league Boston suf fered two defeats in three frames with Detroit, but. took three out of four from Philadelphia. Mays, who was batted hard Monday by Detroit, successfully pitched in both games against Philadelphia Friday, allowing nine, hits and no runs in the first and four hits and one run In* the second. Ruth -lost a close game to Detroit Tuesday, after strains- out thirteen men. Jones pitched a three-hit shutout against the Tigers Wednesday. Ruth held Philadelphia to three hits Saturday, but in the second game of the day Watson whitewashed the Red Sox v. ilh one bit.

Aannred of Second Place. Cleveland was held even in (our games by Philadelphia, won a doubleheader from Detroit, and beat Chicago Saturday. Yesterday's victory over Chicago assured the Indians of second place, as it was announced that Cleveland would disband after Sunday's game.

Washington, in its vain rush after second place, took two straight from Chicago and three out of four from New York, including yesterday's game.

New York has fourth place by a safe margin. Chicago l^st four straight games and dropped' to sixth place Saturday.

A remarkable coincidence last week was that, each league played twentylive sames, scored a total of 167 runs and made seventy-nine errors.

War Leaves Ingwersen As Sole Survivor, and Material Will Be Green As Grass.

URBAN A, 111., Sept. 2 —Bob Zuppke. after spending the summer teaching football in the Illinois school for coaches, hiked for Michigan recently for a rest before beginning his work this month.

Zuppke has an easy task in Enumerating his veterans. He has only one regular who is to be back. He is Bert Ingwersen, last year's scrappy center. Ingwersen is still well below draft ago. The rest of the lllini who won letters on last fall's varsity are in service.

Zuppke's plight might not be so severe were it not for the fac that most of the good men

011

On October 26 Zuppke takes his eleven to Minnesota for one of the most important battles of the year. Twice since he has been at Illinois he has led his lllini to victory at Minneapolis. On the other hand, Dr. Williams has conquered twice on Illinois field, where also the Gophers and lllini have tied once. When the Williams machine won from Illinois last fall it was its first triumph over Zuppke since 1913, his first year at Illinois.

Iowa will come to Illinois field on November 2 for the first time in years. There was some talk that Northwestern would be assigned this date, as Zuppke was desirous of meeting the Methodists, but negotiations Tell through.

Wisconsin at Madison, November 9: Ohio on Illinois field, November 16, and Chicago on Stasg field. November 23, complete the hard schedule that awaits the lllini youngsters.

Never before fiave manufacturers of paper found the labor situation difficult ytb deal with. Not only is there lack of skilled labor but the scarcity of untrained labor is so acute that a number of mills have been obliged to close their plants entirely or to greatlj decrease their production.

The transportation problem, too, is one that has had a marked effect in cutting down the output. First thenwas the difficulty of getting the raw materials to the mill. Once therg if has been, and is still, a problem to convert it into the finished product. Even then the manufacturer had no idea of when or how lie was to get it to his agents or the jobbers. The receipt of paper shipments is now so uncertain that neither manufacturers nor paper houses will make any promise as to delivery.

Added to the natural causes oi shortage under unusual conditions there is also to be. considered the greatly increased demand for paper. The United States government alone, now the greatest user of bond ami commercial paper in the country, has since the war, multiplied its use of paper in almost incredible ways. This would largely account for a considerable part of the shortage.

Even before the war began, the raplci deforestation of the country's woodeci tracts had become a source of genera' alarm, ajid steps have alr«0.dy beer taken to insure the nation against a forestless^future. Following hard on the heels of this situation came the war, lack of labor, and congested traf-
