In Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 21. With only a handful of men to work over, the outlook for the Indiana game of Nov. 7 is far from promising. Only eighteen men reported for practice today and yesterday the number was still smaller, whereas before the Michigan game the squad numbered over thirty. Hamilton returned from Columbus early this morning but did not don his uniform in the afternoon. The varsity team was run through signals, the line up remaining the same as the day be fore. Only the one team was kept in action, the eight men over the re quired eleven practicing punts and catching the ball. Reynolds, quarter back on the St. Joseph Hall team, came out today at the request of Coach Place and followed behind the regular team during the signal drill In order to get onto the plays. Coach Place intends to give Reynolds a chance at quarter back position with Dwyer, who is now working at that place. It Is hoped that perhaps to morrow the squad will be large enough to hold a scrimmage drill. BOOKS GAMES WITH HOOSIERS. Champion Cubs Will Play Two Battles at Indianapolis In April. Although the season has been over but a few days President Charles W. Murphy of the cubs is busy arranging the spring trip for his team. In addition to the two-day series at Dayton, April 11 and 12, Indianapolis has been booked for the two previous days. This about winds up the final battles of the champs in hostile territory, the early games having yet to be decided on. President Murphy said yesterday that the day before the season opened in Chicago there will be an exhibition game either between the vets and colts of the cubs, or the champs versus the University of Illinois. In regard to Kling managing Kansas City, Mr. Murphy said that all he had heard about it was contained in the papers. He had little to say on the proposition, however. Johnny Evers was a visitor at the office during the afternoon and held a fanning bee with his boss. FALK MAKES DEBUT AS FULL BACK AT MIDWAY. Schott's Injury Forces Coach Stagg to Develop Two Men to Fill Job. Louis Falk, the maroon tackle, who has been out of the game so far this season, made his debut at full back yesterday at Marshall field, and probably wi'l appear in this position in the Chicago-Minnesota football battle Oct. 31. Schott's injured hip may keep him out of the big game, according to Coach Stagg, and Falk has been lifted out of the line as a result. With the continued bad shape of Sehott making his participation in the gopher contest problematical, Stagg is forced to develop two full backs for emergencies and Falk and Worthwlne are the warriors picked for the Job. It is likely that Falk will get permanent possession of the full back place for the rest of the season, the rooters believe. DEMAREST IN HIGH RUN OF 153. Takes 18-Inch Balk-I.ine Match From Brown by Score of 400 to 53.

PACKEY IS THE CANDY

But Cross Brings Blood from Chicago Man's Nose By Sudden Spurt. New York, Oct. 21. Packie McFar land. hajj all the better of Leach Cross in their six round bout before the Fairmount A. C. here tonight, ( scoring on the number of points he made by repeatedly jabbing his opponent. At one stage in the fifth, however, Cross had the Chicago boy in danger and brought the blood flowing In a stream from Packie's nose with a savage " right swing. , It was superior speed that told the tale for McFarland. Twice in the third round he caught Cross off balance and knocked him down with blows that might not have affected a more experienced fighter. Cross arose promptly on the first occasion, but remained down until the count of four on the second fall. He came up shaky and clung to McFarland for the balance of the contest. Draws Packie's Blood. It was in the fifth round that the real excitement came. Packie had been sending in. a shower of jabs to his opponent's face, when Cross suddenly rushed at him and landed a swing square cn the nose. As the blood spurted out Cross made a vigorous rally and swung, rights and lefts rapidly to McFarland's face and jaw, foTcing him to cover for a moment. Then McFarland came back and commenced trading punches. Cross staggered him with a hard right swing, and in the warm exchange of blows which resulted the dentist brought his supporters whooping to their feet by the fashion In which he landed. was held in the fall games, the course lying in the rough over the baseball and football fields. Richard Leach Mann of Buffalo, N. Y., is the first vegetarian to take the mile run, and advocates of nonmeat eating point to his feat with exultation. Mann is a son of the prominent Buffalo physician of that name. HOT SPRINGS WANTS RACING. Poll Taken of Business Men's League Shows Game Is Desired. Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 21.

The plan is to ask the legislature at the coming session to amend the anti-racing bill so as' to let this city have what is desires. SP0RTINGS BRIEFS, An effort is being made to divide the present Texas league into two organizations, one to be known as the North Texas league and the other as the South Texas league. George Cano, pacer, with a record of 2:0314, has been sold by the Christian Hills stables of Lexington to C. M. Grenough of New Hampshire for $15,000. Al Kuehnow, the Duluth baseball promoter, is at work on a new Northern league, to embrace Minneapollc, St. Paul, Duluth, La Crosse, Eau Claire and Superior. The directors of the Armory Athletic club of Boston are after Packy McFarland to meet either Tommy Murphy or Matty Baidwin in the near future. The latest 105 pound fighter to show class is Eddie Doyle. In Philadelphia recently Doyle made an excellent showing against Champion Johnny Coulon. Fred Buckland, the latest lightweight to arrive in the United States from England, made a much better showing his second time out with Jim Trenwith. Oscar Gardner, once well known' in fighting circles as "The Omaha Kid," is engaged in the saloon business in Minneapolis. The day of the "one-man-team" evidently is with us. The Chicago Cubs undoubtedly play great ball, but the prediction is ventured that with Mordecal Brown out of the team their playing would fail about fifty per cent. The baseball season just closed showed quite a gain in attendance for the National league over the figures of last year. The paid admissions for 1908 were 3,514,285 and in 1907 the attendance reached 2,737,793. The American league figures show 3.554,837 for 1908 against 3,398,764 in 1907.
