If the two crucial ' himi between the leaders of the American and National leagues sched vied -for Chicago tomorrow fail to de cide the pennant races, Chicago base ball fans are apt to succumb to nerv- eu prostration. . . With Chicago destined to become the center of the baseball map within the 34 hours, the city is aufefrlng from the ' worst caae -of 'baaeballomania" that It has ever witnessed, not even excepting " the daya of the historic world's series between the Cubs and White Sox In 10.

Sheridan and Egan. r i U lJk tlL vT oot ball aomads of the different I aohoola present a varied and complex problem. Kaat Side High has an abund ance of light fast men. - West Bide Is 'overburdened with heavy-men and lacks , speedy men to oomplete a good back field, and Is also In need of a good pun ter. Hill la in much the aame condi tion as West Bide High, but has It over the West Side boys in that Bus Hughes 1 Is turning out to be a veritable streak of lightning at quarterback, Columbia has a beautifully balanced team with both weight and speed, whtfe Portland Academy has neither weight nor epeed Kast Side, however, haa one advantage ! over the other schools In that ahe has almost two complete teams, and can be expected to play at a terrific pace with the expectation that as fast as men give out iuiy can of ropiauau wun lmau meu luuy as strong as tneir predecessors. Colombia Za Confident Columbia university Is probably the most comment or any or tne acnooia ror it baa moat oi last aeaaon s team ai hand, and haa the advantage of having one or the Headiest players in tne norm west as coach, Gordon .Moorea. Davis, Aya, Quinn, Dooley, O'Brien, Seufert, Poroeroy, Knnla and Walker make a strong nucleus and with Moorea acting aa coach expect to majte a very ravora ble showing. In Becker, Davis, Aya, Quinn and jDooley they have a heavy and also a fairly fast line, which, with . O'Brien . and Campbell on the ends. . should be a atone wall on defense, and ! which should be able to give a good ac count of itself on offense. Little Ted Seufert Is being tried at quarter, and , while stll unacustomed to the position, should make a good man. The backfield ta Columbia's atrong point, however, for Moores has three men hard to beat In Captain Dean Walker, Pomeroy and -Ennla. AH three men are fast and Walker is one of the best around srainers in the league. Pomerov was almost unanimously chos en for the all-star team by the coaches last season. Knnls played quarter last fall, but has 'taken on a lot of weiaht in the laat year and Is making good at half- back. Kellihar and Buideaux' are two men who are trying; ror line positions. and should they not make the regular team wm mane vaiuaoie men to ran back on. quarter: Byerest and Jones, halves, and Cason full, while still another Just aa effective can be thrown into the game In Young, quarters Kehoe and Hale, halves, andi Stanard full. Just at pres ent Kehoe is laid up with an abcess in his ear. but It Is expected that he will be out Inside of a week's time. Joaas waa . quarterback at Portland academy last eeaaon, but has taken hold of hla new. position In good atyle, and will probably be the punter of the team, lie haa developed as a kicker only in the. laat week, when after some instruc tion from the coactt he moved hla dis tance un fullT ta varria. RiriM. vha will probably, be one of the ends, la a tall, rangy boy. whose ability to play football waa not known before thla aea aon. 'Ha has learned rapidly, and hla handling of the .forward pass haa been especially good. ,. . West side's Beefy Iqnad. West Side has the heaviest anuad In four yeara Not atnee the time when Louts Pinkham. Harry Cason. "Tub" Carlson and Mount were In achool have the west Hiders had such a turnout. This weight ' and the speed given the team bv Ludlam and TJabnev. the ends. should be a winning combination. These two- men can not be equaled In the league. ir west aide had one fast back who could punt to add to her team ahe would be a serioua contender. There la the beef there for the line, two aoeedy -ends. a quarterback of more than ordinary, ability and three plunging halfbacka. But she la greatly In need of that one man. Ounnell, a man from San Diego high achool, may be the man needed, but this can not be told until a practice game .has been played. Captain Newt Smith will probably be brought back from the line and played at halfback, and he, wJthLuke Rader, who will hold down the fullback position, will make a pair of great plungera. Both Smith and Rader have been practicing puntlnar. hut a better kicker could be used. West Side haa tha heaviest Una In the league, with Oerspach playing at center. Caufleld and Arnold at auard and Grout and Rosa at tackles. Caufleld and Grout are Oregon City boys, and are the heaviest men on the team. Ross,. Arnold and Gerspach played last season. Patterson is another oandldate for half back, while Vonper is playing quarter. Vosper Is hardly In Latouretts'a clasa aa a quarterback, but haa been playing a good steady game. jraae, a 4.. r (if .. :.,' v . anew-:1 It n f4 i CcWtfi:':ili'nW"iiii,)i' num. fftnii iimrht STANDING OP TEAMS.

Dr. Paul Rader is coaching the team, and Is doing wonders witn tne boys. Kvery man on tne squad la working tooth and nail all the time, and whatever the coach says goes. Kast Sile- has been handicapped several times through the lack of proper coaching, but Dr. Rader and his assistants are getting the results, and that is what counts. Eighteen men, all of first team auallty, make the selection of a team a lfflcult one. Team Xtadcad Beef.. i . Last season the Kast eiders were han dicapped through lack of beef la the line and of strong men behind the line. This year, however, things seem to nave .been made to order, for practically all the weak places have been filled. The Leader brothers, two big line men un earthed last year, took on considerable weignt during tne summer months, and these two, with Houck, . Flaherty and Moreland, will probably- make .up the line. Houck is the big fellow who was the star pitcher of the baseball league laat spring, and his big frame has filled a . large hols in the line. Flaherty and Morelands are freshmen, but have shown the required amount of strength, and atrlll rirohahltf ntlclr. - Doua-laaa and Ttnaa are also good line men, and will be kept . for -emergencies. .. The brunt of thla season's work will fall on the backs and ends. Coach Ra der has two complete sets of both, and ex.pwia lu via i UTiui i u auvauiasa ncr logg of last Season's team and Barzee Will probably be the first set of ends. Iwitn l-ern ana mK in rcaHryv. una set of backs can be made of Cornell, auarfftrharlr. who at one time niayed with Hill Military academy. and also with the old B. S. A. team, may enter high achool. His addition would be a big help to the team. Dave Jordan is coacning tne team. . , Hill's Coaoh Busy. Jack Latourette; the" Hill coach, has done wondera with the team at that in stitution.' At one time it looked aa though Captain Graham and his broth er would be the only members of last season's team to return, but now he haa two more men in Donason and Hill, and these, with soma new material, gives them a Very creditlble team. Harry Meter, last leason's fullback on the West Side high team, has entered Hill, and will play half Holly McGutre. Prehn and Hughes, the ends and quar ter of the team, are very fast Mcuuire ana Prehn are both good track men, while Hughes has develODed into a craokerjack open field man. ' In T Wunweller and Jamison as fruarda, and the Graham brothers at ackles Hill has four excentionally strong line men. Carruthers is a trifle light to be playing center, but unless Shearer snters school he will probably hold down the nlace. Carrnthera In manager of the team, and has aranged for a game October 10 with the Catholic Young Men's club. Academy Hard Hit Portland Academy played Ita first practice aame at Forest Grove yester day. P. A IS up against it for football material this year, for It has neither remarkably fast nor heavy men. There Is always a spirit of fight in the p. A. boys, which has yet to come out in any other team, and this carries mem miles in a real game. Leonard will be in his old position at center In a week or two. Condon and Targart will probnblv be the guards, Sodon, Wilson or Heusner, the tackles, Norris and Brace ends. Cob and Beubner quarter and Summers, Moore and Cook Ingham will compose the backfield.- This team, while not as heavy or fast as it might be. Is well balanced, and with the careful coaching which Mackle and Thorn are giving It will hdld up its end of the game. G PROVES G POETLX.ND ACACEMT TBA.M f x. to 2 Til CO WtVX,X,51XV 1EA31.
