By BARTON BRALEY
BOSTON'. Oct. 12, We'll start this story
will) sundry staves of the Joyous song of
th Boston P-raves:
"The wise prognostlcators ofrthe jour
' nafls'tfc press were certain that our future
was lugubrious, they made asseverations
with profoundcst of distress, that we'd
find the Quaker City Insalubrious; they
ratldclnated on the Macklnn machine and
Its marvelous efficiency lmpreccable,
which would quite obliterate us from this
pleasant, earthly scene with a. brand of
baseball science quite unwreckable. But
our captain, Mr, Event, in his cultuied
Boston way, considered such discussions
academical. 'We shall cheerfully en
deavor,' he Informed the world, 'to play
In a manner highly active and polemical.'
So we entered Into conflict with McUllll
cuddy's crew (they will never be so bulb
ous In the dome again) and wo won the
first engagement and the next day made
It "two and we'll win another couple now
we'ie home again! "
And I rather fancy that's quite enough
of polysyllabic, highbrow stuff, but 1 had
to put some lines like these to sound
conclusively Bostonese. If I really wrote
as tho players talk, why, Ememon's
Mi&de from the grave would stalk, and
he'd shudder and wince and squirm, I
wis, when he heard a jumblo of words
like this:
"Aw, say. them baseball writer guys,
they thinks they're hep they stalls
they're wise, they say that we ain't got
no show to beat that bunch of Connie's
bo. But Johnny Evors says 'Owan!
They're slipping yuh a line of con, we'll
mak them Athletics skid we'll bump
'em off an' so wo did! An' now we've
got their goat all right. Good night! you
Quaker team. Good night!"
The Braves disproved tho expert "dope"
(believed by saint and sinner) and what
was Just a "forlorn hope" became a two
tlmo winner; and that Is truly for the
best. It gives the game a greater zest.
If tilings should always go along the
way we expected, If "experts" never got
off wrong. If long shots ne'er connected,
there'd be no savor to the race, the world
wojjltl be a dreary place.
And tho Braves have made this clear,
blazed It to tho very sky: "You can
come,, up from the rear If you THY. If
you never flinch or doubt, If you fight
with heart and head; FOR YOU rtE
NEVER DOWN AND OUT TILL YOU'RE
DEAD!"
SOCCER SNAPSHOTS
Any. one who has ever played soccer knows
tr.at It la possiblo to keep warm on the cold
est day, unless he be a goalkeeper, and that
the game Is totally unfitted for hot days. The
tno opening Saturdasa of the season were cer
tainly unsultcd to soccer and at tho end of the
lames many of the players were practically
down and out. Really It would not havo been
surprising If cases of heat prostration had
been reported.
The first serious accident of the season oc
?,u.rr.?1., 1n Saturday, when Kilns, the Central
High School centre forward, had his leg broken
In tho game with GlrarJ College. Accidents
at soccer aro not very n.-meroU3 when ono ron
eldcrs the numbers engaged In the game, and
as a rule broken legs can be attributed more
to inexperience than, to any other cause.
It looks as If Merchantvllle will bo oven
stronger this season than Inst year. Certainly
tho Ivew Jcrseyltes should experience very lit
tle, trouble In retaining the championship of
the first division of the Cricket Club League.
The best goal keeper the league ever produced
In Rhodes Murphey will be av-allablo for prac
tically evcrj- game. W. H. Conkle. who broke
his leg last year, Is again In the fray, and he
wilt undoubtedly strengthen the halfback line
Immensely One of the moat Improved players
on the team Is 'Fred" Harlan, who can now
nopt with tho best of them,
Germantown second made a big mistake In
taking Walter Rodman out of goal and puttln
V-. 1. Heard In his place in the last quarter of
;n hour against Haverford College. Rodman
'?, kept goal splendidly and had frustrated
all the efforts of the collegians to score, but
directly the change was made Haverford scored
three goals ery quickly. Germantown turned
tip with only nine men and deserved to lose.
Miobe, of Japan, played a fine game for tho
college. '
The annual Intercity game between the
Cricket Club League and the Field Club League
2,',-ewyo..rk..111 be Played at the Merlon
cr fket Club, .Haverford, on December 5. Tills

GOOD YARNS SPUN
EVEN BY GOLFERS
ABOUT ODD EVENTS
Fishermen Now Concede
Landlubber Has as Many
Queer Stories to Tell as
Followers of Isaac Walton.
Some weird stories come out of the West,
and this one of the lost ball Is very prob
ably true, as It was told by a clergyman
who witnessed tho Incident A player had
made a lone drive from-a. tee below the
brow of a hill and could not see the ball
como to rest on the fairway. The drive
was a long- and stralsht one and It was
obvious that it could not have found the
rough or a trap, but It waa nowhere to
be seen. Both the caddie and the player
hunted for It a long time, as the latter
was In the process of making a good
score and hated to mar It. There was a
tree not far from tho line of play and
the golfer ehook the treo violently, think
ing that tho ball might hove lodged there
in as sometimes happens. There was no
result and then the caddie took a long
pole and knocked an old bird's nest from
Its resting place among the branches,
To tho surprise of everyone three balls
dropped from It, one of which the player
claimed as his own.
A British golfing magazine, commenting
on the rise of the American professional,
remarks that this Is the fourth succes
sive year that a native American has won
the national open championship and that
this may be taken as an Indication that
our native youth when playing on their
own golf eoll are capable of throwing off
the power of their British professors.
Apropos of our failure to lift the British
title, the writers seem to be justified in
remarking that the situation Is highly
satisfactory aa they can quite afford to
see the American going ahead In his own
land and encourage the youth of thla
country In a pastime which Is advancing
In popularity by leaps and bounds.
Tho game of golf presents all sorts of
opportunities for courtesy and also for
discourtesy and many unintentional
breaches of golfing etiquette are record
ed, though the man who avails himself
of hla right to ask his opponent's scora
as the latter Is in the act of driving or
putting seldom appears, for this seldom
happens. And that speaks well for the
sportsmanship of the men playing the
game.
One of the commonest faults Is that of
rushing ahead when the ball has been
played instead of waiting for one's op
ponent to get away his shot. The aver
age golfer is proof against noises and
other ordinary nuisances, but the sight of
something or somo one moving ahead or
in the line of play will succeed lit "get
ting his goat" when nothing elto v,'!H
move him. It should be avoided at all
events, even though your ball has found
the rough and you aro eager to avoid
its being lost.
We are all acquainted with the player
who covers a course In a low scora bo
cause he takes good care that we li
about it. But the man who dubs hi
weary way around tho 18 holes ojt uf

College Gridiron Gleanings
By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELL
Pennsylvania's football team couldn't
win from Lafayette on Saturday, it
couldn't even score. Tet this reformed
eleven save nn exhibition of powerful
running with the ball, coupled with an
Intelligent, sturdy defense and clean
handling of the ball, which were quite as
encouraging to a staff of badly worried
coaches as a victory Itself. Those four
marches up the field gave evidence that
the latent power of this team Is about to
be brought to the surface by means of a
reorganized backfleld. Against Lafayette
the team lacked tho finishing blow, and
It showed a tendency to become over
excited and to lack concentration of
power whon within striking distance. But
these were merely additional evidence
of a green team which should disappear
as the season wears on.
If the superior rushing strength of
Pennsylvania could havo been expressed
In touchdowns, the Quakers would have
scored about threo times on Lafayette,
in addition to holding the Eastonlans
scoreless, As It was, Pennsylvania car
ried the ball from scrimmage a total
of 231 yards to 47 yards for Lafayette.
The Quakers' figures were 41 yards for
the first quarter. 8S for the second, SS
for the third and 64 for the fourth. On
top of this Pennsylvania lost 30 yards In
penalties caused principally by over
anxiety. It Is true that all this ground
gaining didn't Bcore any touchdowns,
but this was due principally to penalties
and mistakes in signals at critical mo
ments rather than to lack of offense. All
aro mistakes which good ooaohins
should eradicate.
Just because Hnrdwlck, the Harvard
half back, poeaessed more skill In kicking
goals from touchdown than did Fleming,
of Washington and Jefferson, the Crimson
escaped being tied by a single point. The
Hurvard team, minus the services of three
members of Its star back field, Logan at
quarterback and Brlckley und Mahan at
halfbacks, wna clayed to a standstill by
Bob Folwell's eleven. There was nothing
fluky about Washington and Jefferson's
scoreM. WaBhlnaton and Jefferson has an
unusual powerful eleven and one that has
been well coached. It Isn't likely that
Harvard will havo another such hard
game before the atlchlgan contest
The muBt disconcerting news from Har
vard Is the loss of Captain Brlckley, who
has been operated upon for appendicitis.
The report after the operation was that
Brlckley would bo In the game In plenty
of time to help beat Yale, but If he plays
football again this year It will ba the
flint such caso on record The loss of
Brlckley means that Mahan will get a
chuncn to stur, and we should like to go
on record her as saying that, given the
opportunity, Mahan can do about every
thing on a gridiron that Brlckley can
Princeton had another uncomfortable
day Saturday. Syracuse was beaten only
by tho margin of two goals from field and
had the nonur of scoring a welllearned
touchdown uealnst the Tigers. The new
open play era at Princeton almost came
to grief when Hyriu-ube attacked the
Tigers' stronghold. The New Yorkers
earned a touchdown, but two goals from
field, kicked by fullback Law, Eaved the
day. One of tho conspicuous features of
Princeton's play this year Is Its drop
kicking record. Tlbott has kicked two
ouch goals and Law two, an average of
one and a Ihlrd for each game.
Lehigh managed to hold Yale at bay
for p. time, but the Ells continuing their
system of "arlal" football scored threa
touchdowns, and since Lehigh scored only
a goal from field Yale's margin was com
fortable enough.
Everybody was glad to note Cornell's
return to life with a 31-0 victory over the
Indians. While the redmen may not be
as strong as usual It Is evident that Cor
nell played good football, and. in par
liaulr, avoided the rudimentary faults
which figured so much In the recent de
frnts by Pittsburgh and Colsate. Cor
nell has the maklncr of a first class eleven
noun us Uoctor Sharpo gets his men
safely through the fundamental stage.
Scoring "n ble elecns has come to be tn
common that It attracts only passing notice,
and for that matter a defeat for a big team
other than In Its most Important games Isn't
surn nn unusual occurrence nowaaays uut
the latctt bntch of results on the football ftelri i
were, combined, unusual Not only cre i
touchdowns made on Harvard and 1'ilnceton
but thosie two barely managed to win. Lehigh
made a field goal against Yale, a matter of
no great moment In Itself, but contributory
to the day's list of Interesting doings

Just now ol' Eddie's pltchin' right, ain't
takin' up the whole spot light for any
of its stunts. But even If his wing should
crack ol' Ed can smile when he looks
back 'cause Ed sure did shine once. The

anything but boobs or dubs an' Ed was
one o' these He helped his Peerless
Leader boss to put three pretty wins

I In winter 1SS2 Ed cried, as all new
babies do, because Detroit was cold. At
five years old he cut the bawl an' Joined
the kids at playln' ball. At least that's
what I'm told. Sedalia first paid Ed long
green. Where's that? Why, last time it
was seen, 'twas in the "show me" State
Well, anyway, Ed bushed two years or so
an then pinned back his ears to strike
n big league gait.
In nineteen-flve he went to Chance an'
if you'll take a backward glance 'twill
save me writin" lots. Just lamp the
record that he made. It's bright enough
to put In shade a half a dozen spots. The
brightest lights In time burn dim. An"
that's the way It was with him He's
with the Dodgers now. But don't count
Eddie out Just yet. The comebacks
haven't all come yet. Ed may be one

The popularity of football Is surely not

Athletics of the Police Department rs
devoting their leisure time exercising
for the annual athletic police carnival to
be held uctober 1? and 17 at the National
Leagiip baseball grounds.
So far nearly 100 bluecoats, the great
est number yet recorded for any of th")
tournaments, have entered the different
events', which lncludt boxing and wrest
ling bouts, broad and high Jumping and
races from 100 yards to a mile. In addi
tion to the athletics exercises, the police
men will have an opportunity to demon
strate their phyplcal ability In other
ways, while a score of firemen will figure
in a "first aid" and rescue "stunt."
Thf police force, like any other large
body of men, experiences changes In a
year, and as a result many new face
will be seen In the coming carnival Sev
eral of the recruits are regarded as clever
athletes and are expected to surprise
some of the veterans, who year after year
have had a comparatively easy time win
ning certain contests, particularly the
hoxlng and running stunts.
The youncer clasp, as far as the run
ners are concerned, has two formidable
representatives in Policemen Joseph Den
ning and R. M. Warren, of the 3d
district, who have only been with the
department a few months, while other
aspirants for carnival honors wilt com
pete in the wrestling and boxing bouts,
high Jump nnd the sack and shoe races.
The Juveniles, however, will find a
worthy foe in the veterans, all of whom,
with a few exceptions, will again face the
startr or referee. In the 100-yard dash,
which has 32 entries, Joseph Schwartz, of
the 2Uh district, and John Thomas, of
the traffic squad, who finished first and
second last year, will again compete,
while Charles Hesser and Allen Baiter,
of the same squad, and J. L. Noel!, an
attache of Superintendent Robinson's of
fice, and Harry Fryckburg, of the motor
cycle squad, considered the department's
