HARDER TACKLING PURPOSE OF DRILL V HI QUAKER FIELD Coach Whiteside Drives His Squad Exclusively in Practice to Tackle Harder and With More Accucracy.
Better tackling 1b the greatest need
of the Earlham football team Is the
belief of Coach Whiteside wso is de
termined to put more life into the team before the game with Butler on Reid field next Saturday afternoon. "I am not trying out any new plays," said the coach this morning, "but am working almost exclusively in making my men tackle harder. This was the great weakness -with the game at Crawfordsville Saturday and in fact was the chief cause of the Earlham defeat." Light practice was held on Reid field last evening in the attempt to teach the squad the are of tackling. No scrimmage has been attempted this week. According to the coach's statement this morning, many new men will appear in the lineup against Butler next Saturday although he refused to make
known the possible selection. The
line will be reinforced considerably.

CHALLENGES DAYTON New Paris Manager Wants Lilly Brew Game. It is not likely that the New Paris and New Madison game will be played Sunday at the Athletic park. The New Paris manager believes as his team has won two of what was to have been a three game series another game is unnecessary. Instead of this game he is trying to get the crack Lilly Brew team of Dayton. The Brew team is recognized as one of the best team traveling out of Dayton and should they play here Sunday no doubt a good crowd would be out to see them. New Paris played them last year and while they were beaten it was only after a bitter struggle and the boys want to atone for that win.

Jim Gaffney Spent Less Than $75,000 To Assemble Team That Took Bunting from Connie Mack's Machine Athletics' Squad Originally Cost About $25,000.
BY FRANK G. MENKE. It cost Jim Gaffney less than $75,000 to assemble his ball team. He could get about $200,000 for the outfit if he placed it on the market today. And, included in that $75,000 is an item of $23,000 that he paid to Johnny Evers, so that it will be seen that he got his other twenty-four players for $50,000 an average of about $2,000 each. "Big Bill" James, the star twirler of the Braves, went to the Braves- from Seattle. He cost Owner Jim a few thousand dollars. If Gaffney wanted to market his 22-year-old pitching phenom today he probably could get $20,000 for him. Dick Rudolph cost Gaffney but very little, yet Gaffney wouldn't have much trouble getting $10,000 to $15,000 for his midget twirler. Schmidt More Valuable. Schmidt, the huge first sacker of the Braves, went to the Braves from the International league. He had a great fielding record there, but was not figured as much of a hitter. Gaffney bought him for a trifling sum. Gaffney could get about four times the old price for Schmidt now. Maranville, regarded by many as the best short stop in the old league, came from New Bedford, Mass., in the New England league. The selling price of Maranville wasn't one-sixth of the price that Gaffney could get for him today. Connolly, the slugging outfielder of the Braves, came at a bargain price.
So did Catcher Whaling, who hailed from the Northwestern league. Gowdy, the best young catcher in the National league, cost but a few thousand. Mann Expensive. Mann, the fast center fielder of the Braves, was one of the few players who cost real money. His purchase price was about $5,000. Josh Devore was purchased for a few thousand. "Red" Smith, whose third-basing has been a great help to the Braves, was purchased from Brooklyn at a reported price of $4,500. Herbert Moran, the outfielder, who came from Cincinnati, is said to have cost the Braves about $2,500. Davis, the young spitbail pltoher that Manager Stallings touts as a coming wonder, was purchased for a song, as were several other of the Boston recruit pitchers. 'Otto Hess, the oldest member of the team, cost but little. Whitted and Cather went to Boston via the trade route, being an exchange for "Hub" Purdue, the pitcher. George Tyler, the southpaw mainstay of the Braves, went to the Braves several years ago from the minors. The price paid for him was around $2,000. Connie Mack assembled a championship team with an outlay-around $25,000, and Gaffney turned the trick with a $50,000 expenditure exclusive of the $25,000 that he gave to Evers as a bonus. And so the moral in this yarn seems to be: ' If you want a pennant winner collect a lot of cheap priced ball players.
DILLON IS ARRESTED FOR FAKE FIGHTING Held on Police Charge of Obtaining $750 Under False Pretenses.
BY LEASED WIRE. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15. Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, and his manager, Bob Stolker, were arrested in the fourth round of Dillon's boxing bout with Brown of Chicago, on the charge of obtaining $750 under the false pretense of engaging in a prize fight. Dillon had drawn his $750, while Brown, who had drawn no money before the fight, escaped arrest. The referee warned the men in the third round that tho fight was too tame and that he would declare it no contest if they did not go to it in the next round. He stopped the bout in the fourth round and called all bets off. Then the club management called the police and had Dillon and Stolker taken to the police station where Dillon was locked up.

HOOVER-BOND FIVE PLAYS M STREAK Penny's Machine Scores at Will Against Speedy Quintet of Scrubs. Now Mel Penny, manager of the Hoover-Bond five, says he's a regular Stallings. Last night his team played its first practice game of the season against a pretty good pick-up bunch, and walloped them all over the floor to the tune of 66 to 2 in fifteen and twenty-minute halves. The dazzling floor work and nagging is only a sam
ple of what Is to come later in the J
season when the boys get their wind and scoring machine, says Mel. Jim Harrington was the big chief on the scoring end last night, the tall boy dropping them in the basket seemingly at will. Spot Schepman, the stocky guard, also found time to travel up the floor and loop quite a few. The pick-ups made their only basket in the last minute of play, so it can be seen just how tight the guards were working. The Hoover-Bond team lined up the first half with Big Parker and Har
rington at forwards; Abe Rowe, center !
and Hampton and BruiserWilcoxen at guard, while in the second half Abe and Jim traded places, and Spot took Wilcoxen's place. The team wants to hear from teams around Richmond for games. Address either Mel Penny, manager, or sport editor of the Palladium.
BOXERS WORK HARD Cathaline and Clarke Train for Card.
Phil Cathaline, Columbus pug, who will fight Ray Jeffries Monday night at the Coliseum, arrived in the city last night. Cathaline will train every afternoon until the fight with Kid Clarke at the Coliseum. A goodr sised crowd watched Clarke go through his stunts yesterday. From the way he is' keeping everlastingly at It, many wonder if he is not expecting a tough time with this Stein man Monday. Oakley, who, with Bussen, put on such a slouching bout in September, is doing his training at Bentonville, and is expected in Richmond within the next day or so. He will have a far different fighter in the ring Monday in Kid Williams, who has more experience than Bussen had when he stepped into the ring. Williams Is working hard for his bout, going six rounds every afternoon with Clarke and six at night with Jeffries.
