Stagg Declares Football Prospects are Poor and Warns The Men Against Loafing
Maroon football heroes who fail to report lor early practice duties In
Kood shape next week will not the
worst end of the bargain, according to the latest plans In the Midway gridiron fold. Coach A. Alonzo Stas;' is out with a warnitm against loafing on the part of his students and will put the laggards on the awkward squad as a punishment for late appearance, he announced yesterday at an informal football conference at Marshall field. The Midway players will have to be in good fighting trim when they appear for work Sept. 20, the coach told the players in letters he sent out urging prompt appearance for practice on opening day. He also intimated that late comers would be frowned upon and would have to step out of the way for those who show enough interest to get to work on time. roach Stagg declared that the prospects were poor for a large squad at the best, and every resource would have to be utilized from the first to insure a fair showing In the first game of the season. Indiana comes to Marshall field for the initial game Oct. 5. and Stagg- believes the result will be unfavorable unless the practice work
is up to standard. The majority of the veterans have been heard from, but a number of the aspirants seem to be enjoying their summer vacations too far from the lines of communications to make a written report. The absence of full
reports from the men is not worrying Stagg. but he has been bothered with in Incomplete squad for early practice for the last few years and has decided to put an end to the trouble as far as possible. Captain Carpenter has sent word that he will be on hand for heavy work Sept. 20, and Coettler, the only other lineman In the 1911 veteran list, will also be out. With only two experienced men for the line, these standbys seem to have their places safe, but they are included in the Instructions to come to Marshall field in first class physical condition. "Whiteside, who played guard on the 1910 team, is another lineman In prospect. He has notified the coach that he will start work next week. He will be a valuable addition to the squad, as he played n hard fighting game two years ago and will fit In nicely at one of the guard position:'.
COLLINS' CURVES BAFFLE SOX, 6 TO 0
Ray Collins, southpaw, stood the White Sox on their heads, metaphorically speaking, yesterday, to the extent of fi to 0, and gave the locals their fifth straight push toward the cellar. Nothing quite so artistic has been seen hereabouts lately as the hypnotic spell which Collins cast upon the Callahans: nothing quite so helpless as their efforts to cope with his lefthanded stuff. They were credited with six safeties in nine innings, but only four of these were the real thing. Collns' slowness in covering first base gave Harry Lord a scratch hit on an easy bounder to Sta.nl, and Lord's failure to get out of the way of a bounder to Wagner was responsible for one of Norton's three bingles. It would have been a sure out and possibly a double play. liorton. although a left-handed swatter and a newcomer, made just half the hits off Ray Collins, whether or not the scratches are included, for he made two real hits on his first and last trips to the plate. John Collins broke the hypnotic spell for one safety and Zeider had the same good for
tune.

San Francises, Sept. 12. Right now
it would seem as though the longstanding rivalry between Frankie Burns and "One Round" Hogan is at an end. Burns' victory over the local lightweight was so complete that there Is nothing In sight on which to base an argument for another match. Hogan himself apepars to have been discouraged by the thoroughness of that trouncing he received, and so far as Is known has not asked that he and the Oaklander he sent together again. Of course, this may all be changed after a while. When the clouds of despondency roll away, Hogan, In defense of his poor showing, may be able to frame a line of reasoning that will not only be self-satisfying, but be fit for publication. He may attempt to show that It was insufficient training, all too rapid
weight reduction, or some kindred cause that prevented him from being at concert ptch on Admission day, ami may make a special plea for Just one more crack at his arch enemy. It's a way fighters have. Being abbto explain away a defeat Is as necessary a qualification for a pugilist as teing the possessor of a knockout punch. If such a demand Is made, It remains to be seen how It will be viewed by the promoters and the public. The recent meeting between Burns and Hogan seemed to Indicate that Burns has made rapid strides In his profession and that Tlognn has retreated. If Burns at any future time should agree to box Hogan It would show a rare spirit of generosity toward a humbled rival, for Hogan simply figures now as a mile post that has been passed in a journey toward a coveted goal. Mention has been made of the Improvement shown by Burns. To those who remember his ungainly crouch It was Interesting to see him standing straight and relying upon his speed for delivery and not upon a hedgehog defense. Frankie's success as a stand up fighter will probably induce htm to relinquish his old covering tactics entirely.

way it was raining so hard that all the fans in the bleachers dashed under the roof of the grand stand. It
was so dark that the outfielders could not see a ball ; ;fter it was hit. so Umpire Orth called time. When there was no letup in thirty minutes the game was postponed to be played as a part of a double header tomorrow. That will be all right for each club, because there was a small crowd out, while a bargain bill today may attrac t a lot of fans. The rain must stop first, however, and the way it slipped In yesterday it acts as If It may stay for the rest of the week.
GIBBONS GOES EAST. St. Taul. Minn., Sept. 12. Mike Gibbons, aspirant to the middleweight championship. leaves his St. 1'aul

MARYLAND WARS ON RACE TRACKS Baltimore. Md., Sept. 12. Governor Goldsborough today declared that he was misled and deceived when he was persuaded to sign the racing commis

Boston. Mass., Sept. 12. A quiet
