Trj* Speaker’s last hit of the season was a two-bagger in the ninth Inning of the final game, and it boosted his batting average to .390. The records show Speak« r went to bat 544 times and cracked out 212 hits.

SIDNEY HATCH. This is an action picture of Sidney Hajch, the Marathon runner, who covered the 96.7 miles between Milwaukee and Chicago in fourteen hours and fifty minutes last Wednesday. He beat the former record made by A1 Corey more than four hours. Hatch was In good form when he finished the run and attended a banquet before he took a rest. The run was made under the supervision of A. A. U. officials.

[Special to The Indianapolis News! BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. October 21.—A driving snowstorm swept over Jordan field yesterday, but coach Stiehm drove the Indiana squad through a three hours’ practice. The players displayed lots of "pep,” as might be expected, and worked fast in order to keep warm. The "charging machine” was again in use and for one hour the linesmen were kept at work pushing the heavy apparatus around in the mud. The Indiana '-Unesmen have shown a marked improvement in charging. They have been woefully weak in this department of the game and the coach is glad to see the improvement. Not much stress was placed on charging under the Childs system and as a consequence the.4)layers have had to learn this item of attack. A considerable portion of the afternoon was spent in working on some new plays. Both the first and second teams I worked on the plays and tried ihem, . against the freshman line with good ef- ; feet. Teamwork again stood out as a “if rny players don’t know anything else feature of the work of the HLLL ’ next Saturday, when they play Tufts. ^rd h tf t *“bS C pL d ce“'i. lie McSl.hey are going ,o Know how to hand,, a team for a da>‘.

Weiland was again used at center and Beck was shifted to left tackle. However, Welland received an Injury to his weak ankle during the scrimmage and had to leave the field. Stutesman took his place at center. Julius, a heavyweight, has been taken from the second squad and placed on the first team at left guard. He is a big man and a hard

worker.

Varsity Meets Freshmen. The freshmen were pitted against the varsity in a game this afternoon. It was an open practice and the varsity was out to get revenge for a defeat suffered at the hands of the freshmeiytwo weeks ago. The game gave the fans a chance to see what improvement the Crimson had made during the week. They expected to see a much stronger eleven than faced Chicago a week ago, for the varsity has developed by leaps and bounds this week under the hard driving of coach Stiehm. The varsity has improved in-fcvery department of the game this week, and Indiana hopes for a close game with Tufts October 28 are 100 per cent, stronger than they were last Saturday night.

[Special to The Indianapolis News] NOTRE DAME, Ind., October 21.-“Vive la Morales!" Is the war cry of the many Mexican students at Notre Dame, for Morales is the first Mexican that ever played on a college football team, and his admiring countrymen are pulling strong for him to make good. He is substitute end on the Notre Dame eleven and just at present is going like a house afire. The only reason for his being a sub is that Baujan and Whipple are about as classy a pair of ends as any eleven can boast. But, clever as they are, thgy are forced to fight might and main every day to hold down their Jobs. Morales is coming, and coming fast. In the Case game three weeks ago the Mexican gave an exhibition of agility, nerve and cunning that the spectators will long remember. Case was held on its own twenty-j%rd line and attempted to punt. Morales instantly sized up the play, slipped through the entire Case line, blocked the punt and as the ball bounded back of the Case goal he brushed an opponent aside and dashed headlong under an automobile for a Notre Dame touchdown. The play was perhaps the moat spectacular and daring ever seen on the local gridiron. This, however, is but one instance of his ability. Day after day Morales stacks up against the varsity or freshmen in practice and makes gainful runs around his end. He weighs 145 pounds, but makes up In speed what he lacks In weight. His one handicap Is his lack of knowledge of the inner workings of the game, although he has played on Interhall teams at the university for several years. Last fall he captained the Brownson interhall cham-

pions.

^ M Football jn Mexico. •Down in my country,” Morrfles relates, "very few people know what the American game of football is like. They play soccer or association football down there. I never knew what the American game was tinttl I came to Notre Dame. “I played in the only three games of real American football ever played in Mexico, I think. Four or live years ago a crowd of Mexicans who learned to play at American boardings schools got together in Saltillo and decided to play a game. I got the newspapers to explain what football was and we advertised a whole lot. Our uniforms, shoes and footballs cost a fortune because we had to import them from the United States and pay a heavy duty on them besides. “We practiced for several weeks in old clothes until the uniforms came. Then we decided on a date for the game. Everybody In Saltillo was interested in It. Fifteen thousand of the best people In that part of Mexico came to see us play. We started out all right and played a pretty good game for the first half, but after that -things began to happen. AH the players started scrapping and before the game was over we had a free-for-all. Talk about Mexican bull fights; thev were never as exciting as that football game. Game Never Flniahed. •'But the Mexican aristocrats couldn’t see the game of football at all so we decided to play again for the benefit of tha soldiers and common laborers. They appreciated football all right, but we never finished the game. The soldiers liked the fight and they got into the game with us. Then, believe me, there was acme fighting. "A couple of weeks after we tried another game, but only bootblacks and newsboys came to see us play. After that there were no more football games in Mexico. Most of the players went back to school, but none of them ever played on their school's first team •I cane back to Notre Dame and have been playing on the Brownson team for three or four years. I first came here In 1907 as a minim in St Edward's hall and learned to play the game over there. One year I broke my leg but that is the only Injury I’ve evdr had. In 1910 I went back to my old home In Monterey, Mexico and went to school there for a while. But I couldn’t play football so I came

FOOTBALL FACTOR IN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, SAYS BISHOP

HARD AND FAST RULE AGAINST

MAJOR LEAGUERS IS TO BE ENFORCED BY BOSSES.

CHICAGO. October 21.—Members of the Boston Americans are to be deprived of the emblems usually presented to world’s champions because they violated a rule of the national commission forbidding players to engage in exhibition games after the world’s series. In addition sixty or seventy other major league players, who have engaged in barnstorming without the consent of the commission, are

to suffer various penalties.

B. B. Johnson, president of the American i^eague and member of the national commission, today with other members of the commission, took up the work of listing the guilty players and providing

penalties for the offenders.

“The commission has a hard and fast rule that championship teams must disband at the end of the world’s series and no': engage in exhibition games either as or individuals,” said Mr. Johnson, also forbids players of other major

ST. LOUIS, October 21.—Football may be considered a factor In spiritual development. Bishop Lawrence, of Massachusetts, asserted In an address off religious education in a Joint session of the house of bishops and the house of deputies at the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church yesterday at Moolah temple. Bishop Lawrence was one of the speakers In a discussion on religious education. “Anything that tends to develop character is a part of Christian education,” he asserted. “Football, a friend of mine was fond of asserting, was the best of religious instruction, because It developed self-control on the playground. I don’t care where and how the youth of the nation learns religion, so that they learn it. They may get it in the school, the home or the playground.”

List of Big Series Homers

ANN ARBOR, Mich., October 21.-Thts is the big day at Ann Arbor. At 2:30 this afternoon Michigan and M. A. C. football teams clashed on Ferry field for the t championship of the state and such other sundry honors as may be glea'ned from victory in the annual Michigan classic. The weather man didn’t seem to realize the importance of the occasion. He soaked the gridiron with rain and then crusted the sod witji a thin layer of frosted mud. He stirred up a chilling wind that swept across the field in fitful gusts. Occasionally a flurry of snow mingled

with the drizzle.

No one of the 25,000 persons who witnessed the clash was comfortable in the stands, and the players plowed through a miry field, grasping a slippery and soggy ball with numbed fingers. The contest was robbed of the speed and spectacular play which usually adorns the collision of these two great rivals. By special train and trolley, nearly 4,000 M. A. C. students and Lansing partisans of the Aggie squad poured into x\nn Arbor this morning and took possession of the town. From the noise they made, a neutral would never guess that the Wolverines were 5 to 3 favorites over the farmers. With the Aggies came their

famous cadet band.

Both teams entered the fray with their regular squads practically intact. Sharpe, right half, was missing from the Michigan lineup, but Raymond, the substitute, was considered almost as good.

Charles I haft his Cromwell, Napoleon had his Wellington and Johnson his Wil-1 lard, but Rube Marquard had both hi Baker and his Gardner, and between them they cooked him to a finish. Rube | j has been an unlucky world series peii former, and home runs have been reapotii slble in no small degree. Three times he has been a bright and shining mark for j retiud-lrip raps. Baker homed off hlffi in * 1911 and 1913. and what Larry Gardner did to him is of (too recent occurrence to re-

quire jeciting.

This same Gardner tore off a home run clout in 1912, and his two swats this ._car tie him with Baker for high honors. The following record of home run swatting in

world series is timely:

1903—Pat Dougherty (Boston Americans), t;

Sebring (Pittsburg). 1. 1906, 1906, 1907—None.

1908— Joe Tinker (Chicago Cubs), 1. 1909— Fred Clarke (Pittsburg). 2; Davy Jones | (Detroit). 1: Ham Crawford (Detroit), 1. 1910— Danny Murphy (Athletics). 1. 1911— Frank Baker (Athletics). 2: Rube Old-

1912— Larry Doyle (Giants), 1; Larry Gard-

ner (Red Sox), 1.

1913— Frank Baker (Athletics), 1; Hchang

1915— Harry Hooper (Red Sox). 2: Duffy Lewis (Red Soxt, 1} Luderua (Phillies), 1 1916— Larry Gardner (Red Sox), 2; Hy Myerf

He may even come along November 1, lool^ over his new home and make a flying trip back to New York, but, in either case, November,will see Matty installed as a resident or Cincinnati. A local real estate and renting firm received Matty’s order for his new home on Monday morning. The Reds’ new leader wants a house on the hills, hut is not particular as to which hill, as long as other specifications are carried out. He says there must be a large yard and a commodious garage

with the property.

Mrs. Mathewson may come here ahead of her husband, and supervise some of the details for the house. Evidently—and much to the satisfaction of the fans— Matty really intends to stay a while. FRIDAY'S WINNERS.
