People demand the starß. Say, I want to tell you something else. If I came to New Ygrk or went to Cleveland without Altrook I’d tie mobbed. Why, one day last year .1 went tg <Beveland and left Nick at home. Why, they nearly took my hide off. I was roasted in all the papers and hooted on the field.

He is about as clean a title holder as we have ever seen. He has always fought on the level, never sidestepped an opponent, and never was mixed up in brawls like many other champs have been. Kilbane has seen many a champion pass on, too. Since he won his title the following champs have been dethroned# Jack Johnson, Jess Willard. Ted Lewis.

AERIAL PRIZE WON BY FRANCE Two Yank Pilots Forced to Abandon Race. ETAMPES. France, Sept. 28.—Sadi Lecointe, flying in a Nleuport airplane, won the James Gordon Bennett cup race for France this afternoon. Lecointe h*d a comparatively easy victory. as all of the -contestants save Frederick P. Raynham of Great Britain, flying in a Martynstde airplane, were compelled to drop our; Lecoin'e'n time for the 40ft kilometer.' was 1 hour, 0 minntps, 17 1-5 seconds. The only t wo American contestants— MaJ. IMdoJph Schroeder, flying in a Fnited army airplane, and Howard M. Rlnehard*, flying in's Dayton-Wright monoplane were compelled to abandon the race in its early stages. Schroeder had too much gna' for the exhaust pipes of his plane and he feared it would be set on tire, f/e landed at 2:55 o’clock and was officially disqualified for failing to pass the first turning point. / Rineharrtt could not .see clearly and was unable to control the direction of bis plane. - Captain Dc Roraanei of France, after dropping out of the race, re entered merely for the purpose of finishing the rmir.v,-. and his resumption could not affect the result of the contest. Before I>e* Romans! re-entered the race all the contenders had l>een eliminate* save Lecointe and Raynham. The Frenchman was the 5-to 1 favorite over the Briton. Lecfdnte's speed for Hu> 400 kilometers was unofficially estimated a. an average of 271 kHometers an hour.

The <locn Colas Aook the odd game from the Brunswick Phonographs, and might have won ail three, but Woody roiled tip his sleeves in the last game, and the soft drink boys were forced to listen to' a brand new record. The Oolitic Stones won two from ths South Sides and still remain in a tie for first place with the Coca Colas, wtth eight wins and one loss. With Bailer ( and Claraan in their line up the Williamson Candies won all three from the Times. Harry Kries says, “It's, a might poor worm that wouldn't turn sometime.” Result, the Wadley's lost all three when Harry adjusted his skids in the proper time. “Cereal” Doyle had hfs Habichs fighting all the way and the Western Fnlons forgot to forward that telegram; now they have three'' more added to their lost column. “Champ” Hebble seems to have found his eye, as has Frpd Schleimer, sto watch out for these two birds from now ou. McCollum tried hard, but the rest of the Times boys wouldn't give him any help. Better luck next time, "Mack.” Katon of the Phonographs says the ride with Beapi put him in fine shape—sa he led the league with SSI. Doyla tied him for single game honors with 213.

If you are found guilty you are out of organized baseball for the rest of your lives.-’ Eddie Cicotte was immediately Waken into custody bv an officer and taken to the Criminal Court building. When reporters attempted to talk to Clcotte, William SulUvan, an Investigator of the State’s attorney's office, stopped them, saying the White Spx pitcher “was in custody.” Clcotte appenred without a summons at the Criminal Courts building, and asked for a hearing before the jury. He announced his willingness to tell all he knew of the SIOO,OOO bribe if allowed to testify at once, and bis request 'was gianted.

Few Changes in Gridiron Rules for 1920 Season With the coll for football candidate* put out all over the country, ibf grid sport begins to draw mention. Th# principal change* In the 1920 foot-' ball rales may be summarized briefly as follows Clipping is forbidden, whether or not the bail it. dead, if done to a men obviously out of play; roughing the for ; ward passer le considered unnecessary, roughness if committed after the pass, has been made; the punt* out Is ahoHs'.ied, und side making touchdown in any part of field may bring ball out straight In i front of goal for (he try at goal; both; referee and lineman are charged wtth duty of watching /nan in motion before ball i put into play, and player making shift must have both feet stationary after he has gone to his position; sub sututjon of player will tie completed when h. has reported, to proper official and change bus heun made; time on In completed fdrward pass will be taken out until play start* again; in cas" pf purposely false starting signal, referee may demand that play be made over sgaiu. e Rixey No Dub Baxter Because of his ungainly parade to the plate and hla awkward aland itv the by 'bg box, nearly every National league pitcher at one time enjoyed seeing Eppa Jeppa Rixey stepping up with his hat. He has long bean regarded as a poor bitter. No longer docs the fast-flinging Phtlly pitcher Justify such a reputation. Any time a pitcher becomes careless and hurls any old thing at the Gitmt portaider the Utter la likely to drtve a clean base bit. In ths recent Pfttsbnrg-Philadelphla series Rixey, In one of the games, made two singles and drove homo three runs, which Just about won the game for him.

Tribe and Brewers ' Resume Action in Series Wind-up Play Games Today and Tomorrow Close Milwaukee Club’s Visit Here. . / With the end of the American Association season fast approaching, the Indians and Brewers resumed action today In their series at Washington Park and, ns the first two games In the match were divided, the teams stepped out with plenty of determination, showing. The game this afternoon and one tomorrow will end the Milwaukee visit here and then the Kansas City Blues will come to wind up the season with the Tribesmen. The Hendricksmen are battling hard to edge up a iltTle as the finish of tha race nears and Manager Jack was hopeful Pug Cavet would be able to turn outfit,, back. Gaw and Stryker are not ready for pitching duty, and this leaves the Trll> hurling staff weakened, hut the twirlers who are fit are. anxious to make a strong finish and have mriUn known a willingness to work extra if necessary. Fans are keenly Interested in the playing of Ralph Ehinners duvlug the closing days, as the young Tribe outfielder b)3* fair to be the phenoin of the 'Association net season. He has speed to burn and his clean thefts of bnsrs have caused fans to label him the fastest runner seen In an Indian uniform for many seasons. Shlnm-rs is also picking up In hitting and 'I he starts the 1921 season with good stick work he’ll surely attract many big league offers.
