Jessup and Brown Will Help
Make Earlham's Prospects Good.
Although the college basketball
season is still far away, Earlham college basketball fans are already counttag on one of the fastest basketball teams that the school has produced for several years. For the last two seasons the school's basketball teams hare been rather weak, but with four former high school stsars planning to try out for the team the chances for a winning team during the coming season are unusually bright. Two of the new men are Freshmen In the school but stand a good chance to be picked on the Quaker varsity basketball squad. They are Harold Brown and Talbert Jessup, and both are on the football squad. Both men are forwards and are classed as two of the best Freshmen basketball men that have entered the school for a number of years. Cy Pitts, another R. H. S. man, and Jeffries, a Splceland star, are the other men that will try out for the team and who will probably make good. Pontius, a letter man. captain of this year's team will be back as will several other old basketball men who were on last year's squad. This year's football schedule is rather light and Coach Lewis will probably start the basketball men In
training as soon as the season closes.

Three Terrible "Ifs" Giants Will Present in Classic Big Series
sf0 JJ0 bwmmmtMtkd m iiiiliiiisfciriiimiTiiiriiisiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiriifi
BUCK HERZOG The chances of tho Giants in their batUe with the White Sox for the championship of the world hinge upon three large, outsanding, lurid IFS. Here they are: IF Buck Herzog has kept in trim, on edge, during his long vacation (you'll recall he was suspended), the infield play of the Giants should measure to that of the White Sox. IF Ferdinand Schupp can pitch In the world's series to the stride that he stepped during the early part of the seson and IF he can overcome timidity and twirl as well as Comiskey Park as he can at the Polo Grounds, the pitching staffs will be equalized. IF Pol Perritt can control his slow ball and master what the players term his "soft" stuff, Manager McGraw will have a twirker of the type most effective against the South Side club. Herzog the Star Puzzle. The big IF is Herzog. A ball player is supposed to reach the top of his stride by a bit of hard play every day. If he is worked too hard, then he goes stale, which accounts for the fact that both McGraw and Rowland are giving their men a rest now and then. But too much rest is Just as bad,
FERD SCHUPP for it dims the batting eye,s destroys a man's form. If you play golf and remain from the links for a fortnight, you understand, in fact, if you indulge In any athletic events and Blide for awhile, you know how hard it is to get back to your stride. Well, that's Herzog. He'll play second base in the world's series, but it will be after an Idleness of several weeks and if he reaches his true form before the end of the fight, it will be surprising. Schupp Not for Chicago. The big IF in the minds of the New York fans, when they discuss the chances of Schupp shining in the world's series, is a problem that McGraw is attempting to solve. Schupp is the youth of the New York twirling staff. He has little experience in any contests save these played in the National League and he is further handicapped by the fact that he was going instead of coming at the end of the season. The word from New York now is that Schupp will scarcely start a game at Comiskey park, but that he will be saved to face the Sox when the scenes are familiar and the rooters friendly.
Modest John Explains Why He
Is Great Manager That He Is
John McGraw comes out in an ar-J ticle in the World's Series Baseball
M. "azine, maintaining that he has
spent less money on the Giants than Comiskey has on the White Sox. McGraw, however, states that "Of course, everybody is grateful to Charles Comiskey for spending a fortune in trying
to build up his club. "When they talk of my buying pennants why don't they look up the dope. The team with which I won my last pennant didn't have a man on the roster whom I hadn't developed. Not a man. I made them all what they were and they were good enough to win the National flag three times running. "And take the present team, if you want to. They are partially the result of unusual conditions. Some of the players were obtained from the Federal League. Where I see a chance to
buy a good player I do so. I wouldn't
be managing my business very well, would I, If I didn't do that? And you must bear in mind that New York, while the most liberal city in the world, won't stand for any second rate goods. They have got to have quality and they are ready to pay liberally for it. Some other manager can experiment with a lot of has-beens and neverwases and try to tinker up a new club. But I couldn't do it in New York and get a way with it. And, to be fair, how about the men on my present club that I did develop. There is George Burns, one of the greatest outfielders in the business, and Robertson, who has natural gifts second to none. There is young Holke and there is Fletcher. Herzog, whom they rave so much about, belonged to me by right. I developed him in the first place and let
POLL PERRITT Which is a handicap for your really
great pitcher, who should be good re
gardless of the surroundings and conditions. Can't Beat Sox With Speed. Speed won't beat the Sox, which makes Perritt a big IF In the plans of McGraw. He is the. possessor of the soft stuff; the 6low ball, the dinky curve that is absolutely dependable upon control for its effectiveness. IF Perritt possesses all of his wares, why but what's the use? When an IF enters into the calculations you have to wait the event to guess the -outcome.
CANDIDATES AT HIGH SPEED UP TO WIN PLACES
Final Practice Before Squad is Cut Develops Wealth of Speed. With a great Increase in speed and accuracy, the general squad of High
school basketball candidates held their final practice session Wednesday night
beiore the squad, which now numbers more than 35 men, is cut to the sixteen men that will make up the first and second teams.
The men were given a stiff workout in passing and basket throwing at the
session Wednesday and Bhow much im
provement since the wrokouts first be
gan last week.
The announcement made by Coach
Mullins that the squad is to be cut at
the next practice has caused many of the candidates to speed up and put forth every effort in their eagerness to be chosen on the small squad, and a hard time is promised in picking the ment that will be best suited for the small .squad. Although no announcement has been made concerning who are the most probable candidates, some cf the men
I who probably will be chosen are Sim
mons, van Allen, Shelton, Cramer, AIbus, Harding, J. Lahrman, H. Schaefer, Stegman, C. Price, Calvelage, Gardner,
Hosier ad Tanar, with the posslhU addition of C fihafer. Waist tend E. Price. These men who have been making the best showing of any on tha njuad and their work so far has greatly pleased Coach Mullins. The small squad will not be announced until the practice session. Friday.

him go to Cincinnati simply so that he could better himself. For Zimmerman I traded Doyle. Not a nickel in money changed hands. I didn't get stung on the trade. I traded Merkle,
another man I had developed, for McCarty.' There wasn't a dollar involved. I leave it to the public if I got stuck on that deal. Schupp, the sesnation among pitchers last season, was a boy I developed right here on the bench. "And Tesreau I developed also. That's a pretty good club in itself. "And furthermore, I want to go on record as saying that no newspaper or group of newspapers made me. 1 made myself. I am indebted to nobody for whatever success I have won. Last season some of the boys thought I was slipping. They didn't hesitate to "say so. Well, I slipped back to the point
where the club won twenty-six straight
games, something that had never happened before, and I am frank to confess, will probably never happen again.
And I slipped back to the point where
we have won a pennant this season by a good wide margin and stand ready
to give the National League about tho
only run for a world's championship it has had In many a day."

It Payed Very Well
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 4. It pays to
be with a pennant winning club. Members of the Indianapolis team, which won the American Association flag, were presented with enough wearing apparel to last them all winter.

Jack Hendricks, manager of the club, Steve Yerkes, the leading batter; Cosey Dolan, the leading base stealer, and Jake Northrop, who won twenty-one games, got the suits.
