Tuesday's Contest Has
Been Called Of! by the
Management.
Owing to the demand (or double
headers the rhllty management has ar
ranged with Malinger Herzog. of tin?
Cincinnati Reds, to stage a double en
casement this afternoon at the Phila
delphia ball park. The first game will
bo called at 1:30 o'clock.
There was no postponed game with
the Reds, but the dontcst which Is on
the. books for Tuesday was moved up.
This will give the locals a much-needed
lest and an orf-day Tuesday. It will,
however, leave the rabid fan without
t. place to while away his leisure after
noon hours.
Now that the Giants are really out of
the race, the only thing of Interest be

cause they wanted to cllnrh the flag at

CAREY GETS AN EVEN BREAK
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
The I'nlvetslty of Pennsylvania football j
team will get its first test of real grid- '
Iron battle this afternoon when the Red
nnd nine lines up against Gettysburg
in the Initial game of tho season. It
required a conference of coaches Inst
night to decide definitely on the Quaker
line-up. and before they announced who
would start the game they carefully an
alyzed the work nf all the players. After
posting the names of the eleven starters
tho coaches gave all the others the en
couraging nssumnce that practically
every man on the varsity squad would
have a chance to demonstrate his ability.
What the men do in today's game won't
decide their fate definitely, but It will
go a long way In deciding the line-up
1 for the next struggle.
I Pennliinln's management expects to
t i.,.,.- ., ,. .r, .,,7.-i.ij I.U..U. ...-J -.,
that in spite of the war nnd the dMre
of most Amrilcans; to bo economical this
I fall there has been an unusual demand
I for seats The authorities were worried
I on this point inrgelv because of the rals
J ing of dues from five dollars to ton dol
, lars for both undergraduates nnd alumni.
1 Rut up till yesterday the sale of season
tickets and membership hooks for both
students and alumni had exceeded any
corresponding ale in previous years.
Therefore, thev reasoned, thero is a big
interest on the part of the public to see
what the eleven will do this year.
The greatest Interest In the work of
the seliTtion committee of coaches was
to Irani the eumpn.sitlon of the back
field for the Initial game It will conslit
of Irwin nt iiunrterhnck Hughes and
Jones at halfback and Motfltt at fullback.
Irwin was honored with the quarterback
!! id-muse of his experience anil his
punting abllltv. At the same time Tt.illnn
and Merrill will get a olmnee to show
what they can do both in running the
team and Individual work.
Hughes won the right to start at ha'f
baek because of the really sensational
plaving he has been doing all week. He
has demonstrated that either ns an end
runner or open field runner he Is the best
on the squad and threads his way
through Un opposing back field with
muh the skdl and cleverness that dis
tinguished Mercer. Jones and Motfltt.

RULE CHANGES NOTED
There are several Important changes
In the football rules for 1914 which
spectators should bear In mind as
they watch today's game on Frank
lin Field.
1. Conches must take seats on tht
players' benches. They arc no longer
permitted to walk up and down the
side lines.
2. The kick-out from the 20-yard
tine following the making of a safety
or a touchback has been abolished.
After such plays the ball must be
put In scrimmage on the 20-yard liny.
3. A fourth omclnl, the field Judge,
has been added, His appointment,
however. Is optional and he will prob
ably be used only In the big games.
He acts as an assistant to the ref
eree nnd linesman.
A. A player, finding that he cannot
make a forward pass successfully Is
no longer permitted to throw the ball
on the ground and claim an "uncom
pleted" forward pass. This Is penal
ized by a loss of 10 yards.
R. Teams are not allowed to en
croach on the neutral territory In
making shift plays.
6. A free kick which hits the goal
posts nnd bounds back Into the field
becomes a touchback.
T. Hiding a player on the side
lines, under the pretext of fixing his
shoe, where he may be In position
to tnke a long pass to the side and
have a clear field for a touchdown,
a form of deception frequently tried
hut rarely successful, has been
dashed as "unsportsmanlike con
duct." The other changes In the rules are
comparatively unimportant nnd re
fer for. the most part to the for
ward pass.

Al Sharpe'e sy6tem has worked many changes
for the better, and Cornell will take tho field
with an established system of attack and de
fense, and It Is more than Hkoly that the
defeat of last year will bo wiped out.
Wounds that bleed and at times open may
be healed at New- Haven when Yalo will trot
out on the gridiron to face the warriors of
the University of Maine. Last season Malno
played Yale to a standstill and held it to a

THE GOLFERS' AFTERMATH
A recent Incident calls to mind several
repetitions of the unusual that occurred In
tho Mala tournament. Ill four Instance
matches were lost on the ISth green, which
In this case was the ninth, and each matth
was won and Most under similar clrtum
stanoes. Hath players drove the green which tall
for a niashls shot. In each Instance the man
whi was ono down putted first and hung on
the edge of the cup for a sure three. This
inada It neoessar) for the man who was ono
up to get a two or a three to win tho match.
In all cases the two was tried for and re
sulted In kmklng the opponent's ball Into
the cup for a two, while the "puttee." If th
word mny be used, had to take a three and
the matches were all njuared.
The final match In the St. David's tourna
ment between Howard W. Perrln. of the
Merlon CrUket Club, and J SI. Thompson,
ef the Sprlnghaven Country Club, was one of
til most cxi'iilng of the season, liolh men
had hern solng.niong steadily, anil at the turn
Perrln vvbb one up He then accumulated a
lead of threo holes, hut by perfect work on
the last three holes Thumpson squared the
match and an extra hole had to be, plastd.
Claying the first again Thompson skied hi
drive, while 1'irrln made a supreme effort
and drove a Ireniendomls long ball down the
middle of tho course The bunker that guard
tho green kept Thompson from plasing a
brass! In a last elfort to gel home and he
played an Iron around the bunker, but it was
short und 1'errln. b a perfect mashlc shot,
landel well up on lie green, making a four
almost nlsnlutrly tertain. Thompson's ap
proach was too hard and with It his last hope
went a-gllmnierlng. It was a beautifully
fought contest.
Alexander II Flndlay. the pioneer of golf
In IhU country and known to his many friends
as "Abe." It still plaving a game that will
rank with tho be tt. N t long g.;o ho negoti
ated the IS holes at the Sprlnghaven Country
'tub In 74. which Is about as good as any
b.vdy could well ask for Trobably one of the
best shot that Flndlay ever pulled off was
on the Wooland coure at Auburndale. Mass.,
Dulmel's home course Tho hole was of the
dog-leg variety. It seems, like the fourth, as
the writer recalls It and the second shot had
to l' a long one and had t run around a
corner of the woods to And the green Flnd
lay' second shot w-a played with a cleek and
a deliberate slUv that ent the ball circling
around the woods und allowed it to come to
rest oil the edgo of the green. It was a
muster shot by a master of the game.
The defeat of Francis Oulmet at th nreen
which Country Club's annual Invitation tourna
ment on Tuesday was rather unexpected, but
one of the surprises that I likely to happen
at any time und to any person Oulmet wa
no his gam) and hi opponent was "playing
hi head off.' to borrow a familiar expression
It I on of th i nance that noted golfer
take when they play In tournament after
tournament and It I safe to ay that Oulmel
took hi defeat philosophically and smilingly,
ui course, most peopi would rather win than
lose, but these upsets are a part of tbe gam
and generally accepted as such.
The Boston Red Sox, nursing a faint
pennant hope, tackled tho Browns yes
terday and were thrown back for a 10 to
1 loss.
Tho Browns broke "Walter Johnson's
winning streak last year. They broka
the Washington team's winning streak,
broke Johnson's rimless record, beat tha
Naps out of tho 150S pennant nnd hava
performed other stunts along the same
lines.
The "pop-eyed" Dodgers have won ten
games In a row. Do they think this Is
Juno? 1
Despite the fact that Lajole and Waga
ner have been "replaced" by a dozen
youths, It's a pretty safe bet they'll ba
back at their old stations next year.
Stanley Root, the former Penn croj
country champion, who has In late years
been running under the colors of the
Mercury A. C. has been engaged to as
sist Coach Orton In developing the Red
and Blue's hill and dale men. Root Is
a great student of the running game and
will be a valuable asset to I'enn.
The National Commission will soon
have to change Its draft rules, inasmuch
as the Importers arc now out of business.
If yesterday's crowd nt the Phllly park
Is a fair sample of what Is to be for
the rest of the season. Cravat h need
have no fear thnt he will hit any spec
tators with homo tun drives In tha
bleachers.
Klther the National Commission or tha'
Baseball Writers' Association should
piomulgate somo definite rule with re
gard to tho leading batsman of tha
leagues. It Is not fair for Ty Cobb to
be awarded this honor year after year
when he participates In so few games,
comparatively speaking. This year Cobb
will not have been In many more than'
half the games, while such players as
Kddle Collins nnd Joe Jnckson are Ire
nearly every contest. Kddlo has missed
only one game this year, hence he de
serves more for batting .333, for exam
ple, than Cobb does for hitting at tha
rate of .3K.". Somo definite number of
games should ho set. 135 would not ba
too many, and If a man did not play In
that number of tests he should not ba
considered.
"Wild Bill" Donovan led the Trovl
dence club at a fast clip this season,
and after n grueling race has won out.
The veteran pitcher Is rated as the best
manager In the International I.eagu,
with the exception of "Jack" Dunn.
