Chicago's Cubs beat1 Cincinnati, 6 to 0, today and fought their way back into a position to step into the lead of the frantic National league race if New York slips again. The win put them in a tiewith . the Pirates for second place. They beat the Reds today almost without effort and played superb ball behind Reulbach's marvelous pitching. The big Cub pitched his fourth straight shut-out game and held the Reds to two lone hits, both of which were semi-scratches by Egan. NOTES OF THE BOXERS. Promters of the Herman-Thompson bout at Racine Oct. 12 think that the attendance will be large. They say that advance demand for seats leads them to expect at least f 2,500 in the house. - JoJfVnnyl'Jiompson, also known as the Sycamore Cyclone, is a "Dane, and his name was originally spelled Tjompson. He altered the title to the English form of spelling. Jack Blackburn appears to have got himself "in bad" with the promoters of Rochester, as his fight with Cy Flyr.n Wednesday evening is said to have looked decidedly off color. Referee George Horschler called off the go in the sixth saying, the men were faking. Kid Clipper otherwise known as J. D. Thompson, is anxious to get on a match , with Frank Connelly of Kenosha or some other good 120 or 122

MICHIGAN SQUAD BRACES UP. -.Yost'a AdTice Rears Fruit In Spirited Style of Play. More '.Ann Arbor, Mich.. Oct. 1. Those pieces of advice that Coach Yost hand- ' ed out to his squad of players last night in the daily quiz bore fruit today io a somewhat rejuvenated style of s play, and the regulars were enabled
& 'tl ' R
OTE to roll up thirty-six points without a blot of a score from the scrub side, although the latter played as desperately as yesterday. Yost's particular pets were able to see things today that they could not yesterday, and the result was a general tightening up In the line which was not apparent In the first day or scrimmage. One fault, however, was more than noticeable, and this was the flimsy bulwark of defense offered men on end runs. Tonight ended the scrimmage practice of two days Michigan's preparation for the Cass game, which comes Saturday. ; PATTERNS AFTER JIM. Hugo Kelly is to take a course of tiie training methods of Jim Jeffries and Corbett combined. Hunting and rowing are to play a large part in his training and his work will be under full swing today, near Antioch. He has engaged a cottage near Charley Herman's place, just on Lake Bluff, and will train himself. Fred Gilmore, Fred Lucas and Tom Cantwell will work with him. Gilmore is preparing for the semi-windup of Oct. 15, when he meets Jimmy Clabby. Tom Cantwell is a 185-pound boxer, who is also a conductor on the Auro and Elgin line. READY FOR OLD PURDUE. Coach Stags' is ready . for Purdue. The Maroon director yesterday put his play ers through their last hard practice in preparation for tomorrow's game with the boilermakers at Marshall field and pronounced the prospects favorable for a victory over the visitors by a fair score. Light practice will be the rule for both teams today. Coach Stagg wiU polish off his plays at Marshall " field, while Coach : Speik - will run his men througha short workout after his arrival. ' Coach Speik, Athletic Director Nicol and the Purdue squad will arrive this morning, and the - afternoon practice will, be held on -the grounds of the Chicago Beach hotel, where the Hoosiers will stop. ROOSEVELT PRAISES WINNERS Congratulates Victorious Marksmen on Successes at Camp Perry. Washington, Oct. 1. Congratulatory letters for marksmanship in the recent shooting contests at Camp Perry, Ohio, last summer, have been written by President Roosevelt to Sergeant" A. Brest, Fifteenth United States infantry, winner of the president's match; to Lieutenant A." D. Rothrock, second Ohio Infantry, winner of the national Individual match, and to Lieutenant S. A. Harris, Fourteenth United States infantry, winner of the military . championship of the United States. -. To Sergeant Brest the president says that he is greatly pleased that a noncommissioned officer of our regular infantry should thus make plain in unmistakable terms his right to--stant among the foremost of thdse" gallant and trustworthy men who make up the rank and file of the United tSates army. PURPLE SQUAD TO BE REDUCED Coaches Will Start Work Next Week to Line Vp Varsity Team. The Northwestern university football squad will be cut down next week to twenty-four men, and the' candidates are playing their level best to be among those "who also run." The coaches have announced that twenty- & ! i. . 1 i'rLA 4 ISAA. .1 four brand new football uniforms will he on hand next week, and as soon as they come the work of picking the varsity team will begin. As a result the play yesterday was ' harder and faster than it' has been this season. WILL ABANDON RING FOR TIME Battling Nelson Will Not Fight Again I'ntil Early Next Spring. Battling Nelson will not appear in the ring again until February. This was made certain yesterday, when he signed for a ten weeks' tour in a vaudeVille circuit, around which he will give

sparring exhibitions with Joe Galligan and Charles Dixon. Nelson ends his local season at the end of the week and departs Sunday for New Mexico. He will spend a days, returning in, about a week, and will then return for a run around the circuit. This kills McFarland's chance of getting a match for the lightweight title in the immediate future. Nelson said he would meet McFarland in February if the latter would agree to a forty-five-round bout.
WHITE AGAIN LOWERS RECORD Batr'a Steamer Goea Fire Milea Helena Track in 4:51. Helena, Mont., Oct. 1. Bair's White Steamer again beat the world's record at the Montana state fair, reducing Its time of yesterday of 4:54 too 4:51. This is for a fiat circular ordinary mile track, which was exceptionally fast and with no wind blowing. Cabin, a California horse and second choice in the betting, won the Helena handicap at a mile, and a quarter, nosing out Tea Tray, the favorite. This was the banner day for attendance in the history of the fair, grand stand. Large Purdue bleachers and field being taxed to their capacity, as well as-the various buildings. ' HARD SCRIMMAGE FOR PURDUE Boilermakers in Good Trim Maroons Tomorrow. for the Lafayette, Ind., Oct.' 1. Coach Speik put the Purdue football team through a satisfactory practice this evening and the players are in fine shape to meet 5 NChicago. A hard scrimmage and a fast signal practice was on the program this afternoon and the men worked like beavers. The coach felt better tonight, and at a huge mass meeting of the students said he felt sure Chicago would find Purdue a tough proposition. Over a thousand rooters will accompany the team to Chicago. LEAVE FOR CLEVELAND . With a brave band of unofficial rooters, the White Sox left last night for Cleveland to tackle Lajoie's Naps 'this afternoon and tomorrow. Their chances

chances for a penhant depend largely on the success of their invasion of Ohio. If they beat the Clevelands the White Sox's labors are not finished by any means. For they will stil have to meet Detroit in three games and win at least two out of three and possibly all three. ' , If fighting spirit and confidence have anything to do with the result of the Cleveland series the Sox -ought to walk in. The South Siders, eighteen strong, left with heads up, expecting "Big Ed" Walsh to pitch both games against Joss and Berger. - They always count Walsh's games as already won. However, in this case, they realize they have got to give their star pitcher great support, for Joss has been getting ready for this battle for a week. Lajoie has kept him out of all recent games that he might open, up against the White Sox with all his strength.
M'FARLAND MAY MEET GANS Eastern Promoters Want Him to Wait . X'ntil Joe Has Fought Once. Packie McFarland may have a chance to bump up against Joe Gans in the Squad From Which near - future. 'Eastern promoters have practically decided to3, "send" "Cans against the winner of the Cross-Fitzgerald bout of tonight and it is proposed that Packie and Harry Gilmore Jr. hold off for a time and wait to meet the winner of this second bout. This will be the second meeting between Cross and Fitzgerald this, season and both have expressed a willingness to meet Gans if victorious. Gans also gave his consent, according, to dispatches. This will be the first bout A S' vi of the former lightweight champion since his return from his defeat by Nelson and shows he is in earnest about- returning to the ring. Tri-State league fans will miss Eddie Ashenback, who managed the Johnstown team this season. Ashenback is a born humorist and does the funniest coaching stunts since the days of Arlie Latham. He has signed to wear a Chicago-National league uniform the coming season. Rattling Nelson and Packy McFarland will probably furnish the Thanksgiving day attraction a Promoter Coffroth's club at Colma, Cal.
