GIMT PLAYERS BLAME RARIDEN FOR 'BONE PLAY

NEW TORK. Oct. 18. Most of the Giant rlayers, including Manager McGraw, are of the opinion that a lot of unjisst panning has been leveled on the hj-ad of Heine Zimmerman for his world's series "bone" in the deciding game of the series with Chicago last Monuay. when Heine chased Eddie Collins all the way down the third ba-se line 'and over the home plate with the winning: run. The Giant players insist that Rariden was as responsible, if not more so. for Collins' scoring in thnt

fatal fourth inning: than was Zimmer

man. As a. matter of fact, a majority of the Giants believe that Rariden was the big- bmiehead of this inning and not Zimmerman.

THEM HUMP

COLl'MBl-S. O.. Oct. 17. Ohio State We stern Conference champions of 1916. are fioing to make a strong bid for titular honors asrain this year, for State seems to be fully s strong as a year ago when Wilcemen went thru the season without defeat. The yr.e may b a trifle weaker than las; Ar, but the backfield built around the incomparable "Chick" Harley looks stronger. Team play, too, is much more developed than it was a year ago at this time. Pome idea, of the strength of State may b gleaned from the fact that she opened the season y giving to Case the worst defeat in her history and it must be remembered that Case has been playins Michigan annually for more than a decade. , While naturally interest wi'l center In the work of Harley. who is now in school awaiting his call to service in the aviation corps, he promises to have competition in the limelight business this fall. Stinchccmb. who caused more of a sensation on the freshman eleven last fall than did Harley the year before, is playing at half along with State's AllAmerican star, and he is showing as much speed as Harley. The Courtney brothers. t tackle, Karch at guard, and Seddon moved from guard to center, are "letter" linemen bacn in school. Boien at end. Terges at Quarter and Boesel at full are other letter men who are eligible for play this fall. With this nucleus and with an unusually promising freshman team of a year ago to choose from, the local followers of the game are counting , strongly on Coach Jack Wilce to repeat his success of a year ago. . In addition to college games scheduled for this fall, arrangements have been practically completed for a Thanksgiving Pay game against an all-star team from Camp Sherman, at Chlllicothe, O. On the latter team will be such stars as Talbot. Pcovlll. and Ooebel of Tale. Pontius end Edmunds of Michigan, Townsend of Princeton and Klcbenlaub of Notre. Dame.. The entire receipts of this game will go to a recreation fund for 1 he soldiers.
