CORBETT NOW SUFFERS
FROM BASEBALL MANIA
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Oct. 16.
MOTe progress toward complete recov
ery was made yesterday by James J.
Corbett than on any other day since he
was hurried to the Jefferson hospital
with a serious case of appendicitis and
operated upon on short notice. The big
fellow really seemed to think he was
getting enough to eat once more, and
had stopped kicking along that line.
To his visitors Corbett discussed the
world s series to the exclusion of every
other subject. When he heard that the
Giants had scored a bushel of runs in
the opening inning at the Polo grounds,
he let out a whoop that was a loud one
for a sick man. and when the final
score was told to him he expressed a
belief that his favorites would win the
series.
BRUSH IS SICK: MISSES
GAME HIS TEAM WINS
NEW YORK. Oct. 16.—‘President
John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, is
missing from the fray. He is seriously
ill at his hotel here, and can not leave
his room. His physicians are much
worried about his condition. He has
never fully recovered from the shock of
the automobile accident in which his
limousine turned turtle a few weeks
ajm He attended the first tw’o world's
series games, but has had to remain
away since. His friends are very anx
ious about his health. It is probable
that he will not be able to attend the
National league meeting, in which case
he will be represented by Secretary Joe
O'Brien.

The Yellow Jacket squad ha? settled

The Baptists have a good team this

only two touchdowns to the scrubs one.

CADY WON POSITION BY
ACCIDENTS TO OTHERS
BOSTON. Oct. 16.—When the Amer
ican league season of 1912 began For
re o n a^t v " a '° Bost °n's third catcher.
Bill t Arrigan and Leslie Nunamaker
were considered the first string back
stops.
Then Carrigan was hurt. Nunamak
er became the first catcher for the time
being. It went on that way for nearly
two weeks. Then Nunamaker was hurt
and Stahl-was forced to call on Cadv.
As Nunamaker handed Cadv his
chest protector, he said: “Go and do
the best you can. I will be readv again
in a few days."
"Huh!” replied Cady. ‘‘By the time
you are ready Stahl won’t know he
has any catcher except Carrigan and
me.
Rather egotistic, but true neverthe
less. Cady has been a first stringer
ever since. Handling Joe Wood's de
livery so capably, Cady wae perma
nently assigned to catch Smoky Joe.
His final bit of recognition came
when he was picked to catch Bedient
in Saturday s game, Carrigan having
been Bedient’s receiver in the Amer!
can league games. So from third catch
er to flrst,catcher has been Cady’s jump
in one season.
COAST COLLEGES TAKE
UP AMERICAN FOOTBALL
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—The Pa
cific coast colleges are passing up all
forms of football except the American
game, after experiments with soccer,
rugby yid other brands. The presi
dents of Pomona. University of Red
lands, Whittier and Occidental colleges
have agreeif that the American game of
football will be the football gam® in
their institutions. This is settled for
the coming years, and these colleges
deprecate any talk about there being a
change.
For some' time President Baer has
been known as a strong advocate for
the American game under the new re
vised rules, and taking the matter up
with his fellow collegj presidents, has
received favorable answers.
President Thomas Newlin, of Whit
tier college, says: "You know that I
have always been a strong advocate of
the American game. I believe the ten
dency is now to return to the American
game Very soon after I received yout
letter I laid the whole matter before
the faculty and student body, and a
motion was madefto authorize me to
make'the statement that we would play
the American game next year and have
no idea of changing."
BASEBALL NOTES.

SECRETPRACTICE
DN TAP NOW AT
GEORGIA .
ATHENS. GA.. Oct. 16.—The Geor
gia team held its first practice of
the week yesterday behind closed 1
gates and secret practi* e w ill be the i
order of the week at Sanford field pre
paratory to th r game with Vanderbilt
at Atlanta Saturday.
Coach Cunningham today put his
warriors through a stiff signal drill and
scrimmage and he is building up a new
defense especially for the Vandy game.
The Georgia coach is familiar with the
McGugin style of play and he is per
fecting his formations accordingly.
Georgia supporter? and rooters will
invade Atlanta Saturday 500 strong. A
special train will be run over the Sea
board and the faculty has given the
students permission to attend. The
cadet bapd will head the delegation.
Henderson Only Invalid,
The teafn will have a light scrim
mage this afternoon, which will be the
last of the week. All of the varsity
players, with the exception of Hender
son, will be ready for the fray, while it
is possible that the former Gordon star
w’lll get Into the battle. He suffered a
sprained knee In the Citadel game Sat
urday.
Should Henderson fail to round into
condition this will necessitate the shift
ing of Covington to center and Awtrey,
who showed such sensational form
against Citadel, will take up the burden
at quarterback.
Georgia students and supporters fully
leallze the strength of the Vanderbilt
team, but by no means concede the vic
tory to the Commodores.
Georgia players are going Into the
fray In a "do or die" spirit and while
making no boasts, they believe that the
Red and Black W'ill be returned the
winner.
Georgians Will Be Fit.
Cunningham is working his head off
to get the men to the highest stage of
efficiency and In this he is meeting with
fair success. At any rate, when the
referee's whistle calls the men to ac
tion Saturday the Commodores will
face one cf the most determined
bunches of football players that ever
stepped on a Southern gridiron. .
While the Vanderbilt backfield is
conceded to have the edge as a whole,
local enthusiasts believe the Red and
Black line to be the strongest in the
history of the school and believe that
it will carry the edge pver the Ten
nesseeans.
The Gporgia team has not this season
put fo:th its full strength, but in the
game Saturday the Commodores will
oppose the best that Georgia boasts
and many are of the opinion that vic
tory will perch on the flag staff of the
Red and Tflack.
NEW LEAGUE SUCCUMBS
to Wallop from 3rs
BLOOMINGTON. ILL.. Oct. 16
“Ttjree I" league magnates, at their
annual meeting in Chicago this week,
gave the pfoposed Mississippi Valley
league a knockout blow when they re
fused to waive territorial rights and
permit the new organisation to place
clubs in Rock Island and Moline. The
two cities are within the flve-mfle limit,
Davenport, a "Three I” member, being
affected. ♦
It will be difficult for the promoters of
the new league to make any progress
without Rock Island and Moline. It
was planned to select six cities in lowa,
and the two in Illinois, and the loss of
the latter wilk likely mark the finish of
the movement.

Shea were used at half, but Luck
had to retire from the game just
after making two brilliant end runs
in succession because of a broken
thumb.
Melholland a Find!
I The real find of the day, how
ever. was Melholland. He is heavy
for an end on the south, weighing
167, and has speed, power, dash
and vim galore His playing was
really reiflarkable. and from ob
scurity he immediately arose to the
place of a formidable contender for
one of the end positions
