Big Attraction Is Booked for East Chicago Next Sunday When Chicago Champions Invade Local Gridiron.

51. T. Keer.an, manager of the East Chicago Gophers, is of the opinion that nothing is too good for the fans who turn out to watch his team cavort about the gridiron. Acting: on this belief the Gopher leader has booked the Cornell A. C. champions of the Chicago Independent football League, for next Sunday, Sept. 30. The game will be contested at the East Chicago Athletic field and will start promptly at 2;;!0. It took just two hours of earnest Higument to convince Manager Houle of the stock yards eleven that the Indiana air was vastly superior to the Illinois ozone. Houle eonsenie.1 t piay on Hoosier territory only after he had b ten guaranteed a large sum as his end -f the gate. The Gopher record to date is as-fol-J'.ws: Played 73 sanies', von 7f, tied 2, i ft one, and one of the two times

tied was a 0 to 0 exhibition with the!

Cornells. This should give fans an idea f how welcome victory would be to 'iiner team. The Cornells won the Chicago cha.ruf "nshtp in 1S16 and expect to repeat in spite of iho fact that they will have .such teams as the "Standards," Thorns and Evanstons opposing them. Several jiew faces will be seen in the Gopher lineup. I

Griff Orders $30,000 in Baseball Supplies . WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 27. Clark Oriflntlx, manager of the Wuh. lag-toa Senators, bas ordered 530, 0O0 worth of b.eball material to be furnished the men of the national army who are to be trained on American toll. Griffith hasn't the money in hand to pay for the supplies, but will attend the first world's series game In Chicago and the first in New York. At that time he will take It upon himself to raise, by popular supscrlptlon, the needed amount. He plans to furnish each of the sixteen cantonments with enough baseball supplies to last the men while training' in America. In the meantime Gxtffith continues to send baseball supplies to the soldiers and sailors in France. Just an idea of the magnitude of Griff's preparation mijfht be gleaned ftrom the fact that already he has ordered SCO dozen baseball bats. Every manufacturer ci baseball goods in America will be called upon to fill the mammoth order.

Eddie Murphy above) and Jim Thorpe. Though the utility outfielders do not get a.s prominent mention as the rest, they may have an important part in the bi games. Eddie Murphy of the White Sox saw world's series service both seasons he was with the .Athletics (1913-1914) and he may be a strength to the White Sox this fall. Murphy has batted around .280, soma fifty points or so ahead of Jim Thorpe, the Giants' utility outfielder.

Likewise, what generation of baseball fans ever will pause to ask why Frank Baker won his title of "Home Run" Baker? Joe Hush of the Athletics. George Rohe of the Whi'e ?ox. have had their hero das. Hush, a green kid. stopped the Oian's dead and made it possible for his team to win the world's championship. Kobe filled in at third base for the White Sox when they met the Culm in the world s

Larry Doyle had cracked one hard enough for a home run. but Hooper, by a marvelous jump and a slab into the crowd, caught the ball and plunged headlong into the crowd. He saved the ball game. Hank Gowdy pot s many hits in the 1912 world's series that they are still talking about it in Boston and wondering why. For Hank, before and after, has only been a so-so hitter, never doing more than just ordinary execution with his maul.
