the ball at local live yard line.
Nestl, sensational riglit ball back
tor the Valley eleven, proved the star
for the visitors and at on" time gave
local fans and members of the Otta-e
wa team n horrible scare when he!
raced through the Ottawa defense to
sixty yards. He had carried the ball
within eight yards of the Ottawa goal,
and there his team lost, the pigskin,
being unable to make that distance
through the local line for a touch, I
down.
To Philip Bcfcaeb goes the honor of;
winning the game for the Ottawa
team. Schocb intercepted a b.rwatd;
pass, meant for .Right Knd Mills, if
the Valley team, and dashed lhroug.1 ,
a clear field for the first and rnly
touchdown or the game. A fifteen
yard run by 1 him netted the svoio
and the win for the locals. Screen j
went in shortly after the game start
ed and proved a valuable man for the
Smith machine. At various intervals
be wa good for nice gains of from
five to twenty-five yards.
Captain Carey, also played a very,
clever game, but as the result of a j
squabble with Nesti, Valley right half, j
he was ordered to leave the game dur-
ing tho last ten minutes of play, at
was His opponent.
Besides those two men, every mem
ber of the team played an exception
ally good game. Nevertheless they
showed many weak points which, it
not corrected by the school mentor
Immediately, will probably lose future
games for them. For Instance,
Smith's men are In need of hard and
gruelling tackle practice. Saturday's
game evidenced the fact that they
tackle too high. As a result of this
fault, the Spring Valley backfield men
made good gains, after being touched
or almost tackled by the locals.
Smith's men would have made a bet
ter showing had they made their
tackles a little lower and not so
lunch ground would have been cov
ered by the visiting eleven. It was
an easy matter for the Valley backs
to squirm out of the hold of the lo
cal tackier and line man and make
an additional five or ten ya.rds.
Then again, a stronger defense
against forward passing by the oppos
ing team should be developed. Smith's
ends especially, despite the fact that
they did muss up one or two of the
aerial moves, showed poor afbility at
that point, and allowed several nice
ones to get away from them.
Previous to the game a large string
of Ottawa rooters carrying high
school banners, ribbons, etc., marched
through the loop district of the city.
The Third Field artillery military
band, made up of some of the officers
and soldiers who are making the long
bike from Camp Grant, 111., to Camp
Knox, Ky . were present at the field
and played various musical numbers.
Following is a report of the entire

GOTHAM FANS EAGERLY
AWAITING OPNEING
OF WORLD'S SERIES
New fork, Oct. II TB nation

One Individual Satic tm nt such as th
Deinpsc'v ..'arpotitler tight or the Yale
Harvard football ".une may ,-tir tip
more commotion than a world's base
ball game, hut no oth r sport known
could hold the protracted Interest,
which is continued from a week to
ten clays, while th" supremacy of th.'
anarald diamond la being dactded.
Tho fact that the coming series will
be an all Manhattan affair has tanned
the local Interest to a flame never
known heretofore on the eve of a New
Vork world's series. There Is sotii"
I thing about New York whic h givi-s a
1 sporting event. BO anything else, a
magic touch. New ork has neve.
oped the best two clubs in the major
I b amies, and the e ntire nation now
awaits the verdict as to whethoi
Giants or Yanks are the greater.
Kver since tag Yanks became nvl
factors in the American League- m
I L91S there have ben arguments b"
twt n local funs as to which team I-1
I the stronger. I'p to the war New
.York was a strong National l.eagu
' town, but the- coining of Ituth won
I thousands of converts for the Yankee
cause. -' . '-
The Yankee following today Is fullv
on a par with that of the' (Hants, and
I though the local National have play
ted to more b'jsim ;s thin ever before
In tho last two yrsn the Yankees
I actually outdrow thm.
Many believe it Is the fact that
' Until will play in the series which is
repotiMide tor th" remarKalile out 01
town bite rest in a strictly New York
baseball feud. Outside of c ir presi
dents and Billy Sunday, no American
has receive! the publicity that hac
ben aceorded Butli. He is known in
every hamlet from coast to coast,
through the prajxtea of Canada to the
mining towns ot Alaskn, while his
name Is more familiar to the Oban
school boy than that of the president
of the Maud republic.
Ruth has been in world's scries be
fore, and carried oft his share of
world's series glory. Boating Math
ewson's world series pitching recor'1
shows what a bear. Uuth was as 'l
pitcher, held his National league
opponents without a run for twenty
nine: innings in l!lti ami 1918,
In the Doming series Ruth Is ex
pected to star just as much on of
fense1 as he diel on the defense when
one of baseball's leading pitchers. All
he asks is that Oiant pitchers giro
him half a chance.
The- liabe has been no great ehue ks
as a world's series hitter, as he has
made only one world's series hit, a
triple which won a game for the Red
Sox In 1918. However, those series
were played before- Ruth discovered
his remarkable power as a slugger.
Eggs Are Good Imitations.

about the cuckoo's eg-s is that they
