PULLIAM DELAYS ACTION
ON THE CHICAGO PROTEST
(By Sam Crane.)
NEW YORK—Presidem Puiiiam
declares he will not act on the pro
test made by the Chicago Cubs of yes
terday’s game until during business
hours today,
The affair has caused the greatest
discussion in the history of baseball.
1 The protest of the Chicago club, whidh
jis purely technical, is that Merkle did
not run the bases on Brldwell's hit In
the ninth Inning, which scored McCor
jmirk with the winning run, but ln
' stead ran for the club house.
1 The management of the New Yorks
declare positively that they will not
play any double-header today. Ts the
game yesterday is given, to the Cubs
It will give them the lead in the Na
tional League.
YANKEES RESPONSIBLE
FOR TIGERS’ DOWNFALL
CHICAGO.—After enabling Cieve- j
land to lake the lead in the Amer j
lean league struggle by dropping ev
ery game of their final the
New York Yankees arrived here last i
night. They are still full of fight as
ter their ignominoug defats a» the
hands of Lajole's sluggers and threat- 1
en to put the White Sox out of the
race. The Yankees are the cause of
Detroit's present standing in the
race.
But the Sox are prepared for any !
'kind of a battle the Invaders will put
up. The Chicago twlrlers are taking
regular turns in the box and Walsh 1
will he the main dependenee of the i
Erstwhile champions.

How a Football Eleven Trains

Monday.
Few except those in the game realize
what the early days of the training sea
son means to tin; football player.
While the August days are still un
comfortable with summer heat foot
ball player begins the first course In
the preparation which is to harden him
for the big contests scheduled three
months away. This preparation varies
in a multitude of ways. Some combine
business and truinlng by selecting a vo
cation which gives them plenty of hard
work In the open air, while others. In
perhaps more fortunate circumstances,
train a few hours a day on the outskirts
of some seashore or mountain summer
resort. Whichever way they may select,
to begin their training they are expected
to report to the head coach at the open
ing of the college season in fit physical
condition to take up the second step
of the training course.
Under the supervision of their captain
coach and trainer, the more serious work
is begun. For the first few days little
is attempted beyond the kicking and
catching of the football, running practice
to improve the wind and endurance of
the candidates, and possibly an occa
sional lineup for illustrative purposes
with all scrimmage work eliminated. At.
the beginning of the second week the
half hour practice Is lengthened into
twice the time and while the rudimen
tary instruction Is continued, tackling,
defensive and offensive formations and
a little sclrmmage work is Injected into
the training. The mile or more run

work.
Next the scrub, or second team, as It
is known, is called into operation, and

pect of a regular football game. As

under the watchful eye of the coaches,

middle of October both the coaches and
trainers know the physical and mental
peculiarities of their charges and fit tho
training schedule to meet their require
ments so for as Is possible.
The squad of perhaps sixty-five candi
dates has been reduced f*o per cent by
the elimination of those unfit from one
cause or another, to stand the strain of
football piny, and the remaining candi
dates are begining to bo divided Into
those mystic sections known as varsity
and second squads.
Now approaches the period when, with
the big games less than a month away,
the eleven players with
ability and playing peculiarities must be
welded into a perfect football machine
that acts with resistless force at the
command of the quarterback. The prac

longed until darkness puts a stop to It
on many an afternoon. The diet of the
players Is watched with Increasing care
and the service of regular physicians and
surgeons are called in as occasion may
