The Poly boys do not like the manner In which the team has been declared out of the race for second-place honors among Indiana colleges. The Polys held Illinois down to M to 0. and the next week Illinois beat DePauw <B to «. Then Wabash beat DePauw 6 to 0, following which Poly beat Wabash 24 to 0. and a week later played DePauw a tie game on DePauw's grounds. The only claim DePauw can make for superiority over the Poly team Is the result of the Purdue game. They played Purdue early In the season, while the Polys tackled the Lafayette men when they were In the best condition of the season. According to the games played. Poly claims to rank above DePauw. If DePauw Is beaten Saturday. It will leave the contest for second honors between Poly and Franklin. PUBDUE'S STRONG PRACTICE

Davidson, McCoy and Captain Robertson were out of the play, "lhe strong "scrub'' team could do Mule with the 'varsity. J. F. Miller, who has played guard nearly two years, has been shifted to tackle, and Fred Miller will play guard. Arnold, the 1*9-pound halfback. was out. after several weeks In the hospital,' and hla work, offensive and defensive. was In every way brilliant. Fullbacks Leslie nnd Todd are out of the game, suffering from bruises Leslie says

CIRCUIT COMKITTEX LOOKING FOR ANOTHBB VICTIM.
Milwaukee Apparently Safe In the New Fold—Terms Mad* with the Big League. One thing was madf clear at the meeting of (he circuit committee of the American League, held In the office of President Johnson. In Chicago, yesterday afternoon, and that Is that Milwaukee will not be one ot the cities to he dropped to make room for the three Bastern additions. The assertion that Philadelphia. Washington and Baltimore will be In the league next season was reaffirmed. It nas been known for some time that Minneapolis and Kansas dtp are to be dropped, but the Identity of the third victim remains a mystery. There are unpleasantly strong rumors that Indianapolis will be let out. The close relations between Preetdent Brush, of the Cincinnati team, and Manager Watkins may Influence the American League to retain this city, though they may have the opposite effect. Thle depends somewhat upon the present feeling between Brueh and Johnson With Milwaukee safe In the league. It would seem that Indianapolis Is the town to be dropped, as Chicago. Milwaukee and Detroit are now considered fixtures In the West, nnd Cleveland Is better situated and a much larger city Buffalo Is well located f> r the rearranged circuit, and the exposition may make It a good-paying city next
season.
President Johnson said yesterday that the committee had gone over the matter In an inlormal manner, and had decided upon an Eaatern extension, but that the details were not yet perfected, and that directly after the election, representatives of the committee would make a trip through the Hast, and the matter would then be settled. All the members of the committee are in thorough accord with the extension scheme, except Manning, of Kansas City, who has bis baseball affairs there arranged In a satisfactory manner, and opposes a change. The other members will orobably persuade him that the Washington franchise will pay him better than the one he now holds. Terms with National Loague. Under the terma made with the National League, and said to be ratified, though not yet given out for publication, the American League Is to so strengthen Its teams as to give the people of the newlyacquired territory as good games as the American Association ones supplied. This end Is to be reached largely through the aid of the National League. That body will limit the slse of Its clubs to sixteen men. and the surplus playsrs are to be turned over to the American Laague.

A Late Start and Plant/ of Nud— Dfaculties Encountered Between Here and Frankfort. [From a Staff Coireepnnasat 1 FRANKFORT. Ind.. October *I.-Tha Indianapolis News's automobile tour of Indiana began yesterday, and the cleee of the first day found the tourists at this place. Twice In tha last four years The News has sent a representative on a bicycle through the State to deeortbe the roads and write other Information which would assist wheel! riders making such trips. The present enterprise Is for the purpoee of showing th# advantages and disadvantages of auto touring. The automobile used on the trip la the “mobile" steam machine built by a company of Tarrytown. N. Y., and of which John Brisbane Walker, editor of the Cosmopolitan. is president. The machine la operated by steam, and gasoline Is the fuel. It hee a capacity of six working horse power at l*0 pounds of steam, which, un der pressure, can be rawed to twelve horse-power under M0 pounds of steam. The mobile carAee seven gallons of gasoline. which will carry the machine from sixty to one hundred mllee. owing to the conditions of the roads. The run to-day was remarkable, considering the muddy cotdltlon of the roads. The mobile weighs 700 pounds, and carries twenty-six gallons of water. It It simple In conetruetton and easily handled and con-
trolled.
It to owned and operated on the present trip by C. F. Fisher, while I accompany It as “water boy" and handle the air pump. The start was made at 11 a. m. There had been some talk of making Lafayette on the first day's run. and an sarlter start would have made this possible, but It was soon decided that tha run to tbit city would be all we cared to undertake the first day. The machine had not gone M0 yards beyond Capitol avenue and Thirty-fifth street before It was discovered that the run to Frankfort meant a hard pull and a steady grind. The boiler fairly “ate up water." as the mobile plowed through the mud. The conditions were somewhat better on reaching the Michigan road, and for a couple of mllee the machine bowled along at a fairly good clip. Trouble with a Hill. The first serious obstacle encountered was tha big hill In the Michigan road Just after croeslng White river. The road supervisors have been at work trying to cut down the hill, and their labon are only half completed The long steep ascent was fully six tuchas deep in sticky clay and gravel. To attempt to force the machine up the hill would nave been foolhardy, yet when the road eras In good condition this machine has climbed the same hUl several times. Yesterday we piled out In the mud Relieved of our weight, th* mobile ran half way up the hill and was gathering force for another attack when a farmer In a buggy drove by and for a consideration hauled us to the top of
the hill
All this took time, and It was nearly 1 o'clock when we again started. The run ovsr the Michigan road to old Auguata was hard work ail around. At Auguata thsre was a halt of nearly an hour, caused by failure to overhaul the pump before leaving, but after that defect was

Saturday’s Game will Open the Big
Four Battle.
The first of the big fcotball games In the East will be played next Saturday
Harvard and Pennsylvania.
la, admit* I the most
in-and-out 'ball of any eleven In the East this fall. If his men pull themselves together and play the game they are capable of. he Is confident of winning, but should they play as they have In some of
ntests. they will not be In
stage. He feels that ths
red and blue have the ability to win If It Is only properly applied, but adm.ts that the erratic work of the Quakers this
fall t* past finding out.
At Harvard there Is a grim determination among the players to win the Pennsylvania gan*e. or be carried from the field In the attempt. The contest with the Carlisle Indians Saturday developed unexpected weaknesses In the Harvard line, particularly at end, where the eleven was supposed to be very strong. ThU promises to be one of the liveliest weeks o' the season at Cambridge, and both head cosch Dlbbtee and Captain Daly will make every effort to remedy the defects In the crimson eleven. ColumbU’g Fast Half-Back. The run ot Harold Weeks, of Columbia, for fifty-five yards and a touchdown In the game with Yale, last Saturday, Is equal to the famous runs of “Snake” Ames, of Princeton, eleven years ago. ana the later efforts of McClung and “Brick" Thorn, the famous Yale players. Weeks dived between tackle and end. dodged five would-be tacklers and crossed Yale's goal line for the first touchdown of the game. Charier Chadwick, one of the best-known and conservative football critics in the East, says that Weeks Is second to none of the half-backs developed on the Eastern teams this season.
A Puzzling Play.
Ths Carlisle Indians have developed a new style of offensive play which was exhibited for the first time Saturday against Harvard. When a play gras directed at the right side of the line all of the beak field men gathered on that side, and the left end charged round as though to lead an Interference play. Instead of that the play went between tackle and end, and resulted In the Indians scoring one touchdowif and coming within five yards of another. Harvard was unable to solve the play. Princeton’s Weak Defense. The Yale-Princeton game to now lees than three weeks off. and ths outlook at Princeton Is far from encouraging. Ths Tigers had difficulty In defeating Brown last Saturday, and showed unexpected weakness In their defensive play. Every available man has been called to Princeton to assist In developing the ndw players, and there will be a lively time on the Nassau field from now until the timehonored struggle with the New Haven
KlUelea’g Statement Indicates that Indianapolis Wu* be Dropped. (Special to The Indianapolis News ] MILWAUKEE. Wto.. October H.-Pree-ident Matt Ktllelea, of the Milwaukee club, has returned from a conference with President Ban Johnson, of the American League. In Chicago. He made the positive statement to-day that Philadelphia would be a member ot the American* league next year. In addition to Washington and Baltimore. Mr. Klllelea stated that the eastern circuit would be made up of Buffalo, Washington. Baltimore and Philadelphia, which will make the mileage much lees than If Cleveland was a member of that circuit. Mr. Klllelea would not say what club would be dropped from the Western end of the circuit, but he did say It was settled that Milwaukee would not be dropped. It Is Inferred from this that spoils will be the club to drop d that Manager Watkins will be requested to locate his club In Philadelphia. This will leave Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland for the
western circuit. Baseball Notes.
