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.

Tuesday a hard scrimmage was he'd and the varsity succeeded in getting only two touchdowns to the scrubs one. Every inch of ground was fought for. 1 he varsity scored its last points after it was dark. Moore, the end who starred in Satur day s game, is showing up well in scr mmage. and if he keeps his pace will surely land a permanent place on the big team. The team is not getting over-confi dent on account of the recent unex harded SU t bUt ’’ do ' v ” *>' '**> hard notk. The men are trying tn make the most of a seemingly bad year. 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. — B Well, who se the hero of the world s series now? Apparently it hasn’t been Bakerized. ♦ * ♦ Might}' little has been said about ticket Scalping this year. Can it possibly be that there wasn't much! If O'Toole does a “Marquard" forAitts burg next year the. Pirates will mighty near win the pennant in the National league *• ’ » The Giants were the best of a rum lot in the National league—and that was all you could say for them this year. 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.
