In ISM he wis playing first base and managing the old St Loula Browns, four-time pennant winners, and It was th.:i that he originated th roving style of playing the initial sack. Comlskey was the first man to play off the bag any great distance and the originator of the play by which tha pitcher covers the base on a roller on which the first baseman has no time to beat the runner to the hassock.

MEET STING OF DEFEAT
INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO. O., Oct. 14. Championship hopes of at least two ftball elevens of true "Big Ten" group will have faded when the final whistles blow at Iowa Ctty. Ia., and Columbus, O., tomorrow afternoon. Four unbeaten elevens will battle In those cities Minnesota and Ohio State at the Buckeye capital and Illinois and Iowa at Iowa City and by dusic it is expected two of the contenders will be relegated to the ranks of the defeated. Iowa, by Its defeat of Notre Darne last Saturday, has come to the front as strong contender In ' Big Ten" circles. The Hawkeyes have been drilling In sroret this week and are said to be rtady to uncork a bewildering offensive agalnla the Illinl. Zuppke's husky Illinois eleven, although u,ntried this yoar against real competition, is nevertheless regarded ad one of the most powerful In the mid Slowest. It Is ce rtain that there will be plenty of flreworks on Iowa's field tomorrow. Ohio State, the champions cf last year. Is regarded as a less likely champion this ytar. The Buckeyes were defeated last Saturday by Oberlin. although still unbeaten by a conference team, and the eleven shows plainly fhat such p!ayrs as Ptinchcomb.
