BOSTON, Oct. 13 "Tlio king Is dead
long live the king" we thrill no more at
Bakci's nanus Ho lonKor do his praises
ring ns "master hitter of the frame";
another monarch reigns Instead and
stalks triumphant to the throne, the
crown of swat 13 on hi"! head Hank
Govvtly rules, unmatched, olonol
For when through ages we look back
on stara whose fame has traveled far, not
one could hit u fletcor wlinclt or glvo tho
Bphere a harder Jar a home run slammed
outside the lot, two doubles walloped to
the stands, today made CJrwfly kins of
awat a willow sceptre In his hands!
And this new star In halldom, who fills
the world with awe, was once In heavy
thraldom t: Ml John McGntw.
But John, with cyeblght cloudy and
vision rather dim, could not "ee" Mi
Gowdy and so he trnded him (If smiles
of glco you'd gaze upon, Just mention
Gowdy s name to John).
And here tho muje Is put to shame
nhe can't, she can't describe thlt game.
It wi won and lost and loa and won,
omo several times era the game was won
and from two o'clock till tho sun had
set our hands were shaking, our brows
wore wet, as for twolvo mad Innings wo
sat In thrall to the thrills and chills of
that game of ball.
And tho Braves won oat toy a. brand of
wit, a strength of soul and a nerve Mid
Krit which probably never will bo sur
passed In all the yetirs that The Gome
shall last.
In tho tenth they were "whipped." thoy
were "down and out," when two men
scored on Baker's clout, and we sighed
"good night" In the gathering gloam, and
reached for our hats and started home.
But hark what's that' there's a thud
a crash as Gowdy swings for a homo
run smash. Then a hit or two, when
tho need Is great, and Monin comes trot
ting across the plate, and the rooters
throw their hats asldo for the tenth Is
o'er and the score Is tied
Then at last. In tho twelfth, comes the
looked-for break Joe Bush throws wild
with tho game at stake, and tho run
comes In as the rooters roar and the
Braves have conquered by 5 to 11
"RED" SMITH BAMPANT
?EW TORK, Oct. lS.-St. Mary'3 Hos
pital, In Brooklyn, was kept In more or
loss of an uproar yesterday afternoon by
Bed Smith, of the Boston Braves. Smith
was taken to the hospital after his leg
w-as broken at Ebbeta Field, last Tues
day. Almost the entire forco of employes
was on duty in and about Smith's room
while the gams between the Bravos and
the Athletics was In progress at Boston.
At times tho patient showed such strong
Indications of bounding out of bed that
several of the "strong-arm" squad of
orderlies ranged themselves In position
for an effective tackle.
FOOTBALL INJURY FATAL
EMMITTSBUBG, McL. Oct. 13.-William
S. English, a member of the senior class
of Mount St. Mary's College, was injured
In a game of football on the college
campus yesterday and died an hour later
without regaining consciousness. He did
not belong to the varsity squad, but en
tered Into the game as the result of n
ohallenge made by two elevens from the
eenlor class.
Personal Touches in Sport
A WORD TO THE HONORABLE GOWDY
(By W. A. McG.)
Howdy, Mister Gowdy, with your biffing- bludgeon black,
We hate to see you swing it, but we're glad to see you back.
We wish you all the best of luck, but hope you break an arm,
Both legs, your neck and skull, but trust you do not come to harm.
Truly, you're unruly with that battle club of yours,
Sending- little baseballs on such airy, lengthy tours;
Can't you lean less heavily, just to give us hope?
If you do not halt a bit, you'll fracture all the dope.
Tell us, were you jealous of the fame F. Baker got,
Clouting of the horsehide till it flew out of the lot?
You've been inconsiderate, you have had a gall,
You should now be satisfied; do not hog it all.
Plain Henry It. 073 right name Is.
That Cy part Isn't really his, the fam'ly
Bible shows. But no one calls him Henry
It. Bo -we've no right to go that far, the
Eood St. Patrick knows. In Poroeroy,
Ohio, Cy grew up till he -was six feet
htgh-then tacked on one inch more. He
first played pro In nlnrteen-one. In New
York State at Illon he figured la a score.
He shifted "round till nlneteen-flve -when
major scouts stamped him aa live enough
to pitch real ball. His sal'ry whip he
showed the Browns, but all he drew was
laughs and frowns St. Louee wouldn't
tall. Then Sllnneap' an' Indiana?' each
gave a. tryout to the chap an' fit. Paul
worked film, too. Next Boston gave his
slants a whirl. Then Montreal fans
-watched htm twirl an' Maok thought he
would do.
So Cy In nlneteen-hundred-nlne was on
Athletics' flrln' line an' didn't do so bad.
He worked for Mack three years or so
an' then -went back to small time, dough
because hla work sot sad. Ha tried one
comeback as a Red. But Tinker found
hla arm was dead and got his money
back. Cys pltchln' still for ol' K. C.

' AD hope of ultimate success for th Ath
letics la the world'B series with Boston
has not died In the brents of Athletic
followers here Those who were up on
the "dope" knew full well that precedent
did not forbid a four-straight spurt by
tho Mackmen In the series In IMS when
Pittsburgh Beemlngly bad the series won
from tho Boston Americans, the latter
came through with four straight victories
and -won out Four straight were won by

THE ATHLETIC CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA
This great ball team of Philadelphia was quite as celebrated as the 1914 champions. All of the players have not been identified in this picture, maybe
some of the old-timers will recognize them. Seated, left to right, are M. McGeary, catcher; "Al" J. Reach, second base. Second row W. Fisler, fh-3t
base; J. Sensenderfer, center field; Captain McBridej Crane, position unknown, and John McMullcn, pitcher. In tho third row "Pop" Anson, with arm
akimbo, is the only one recognized. "Pop" played third base. Others who might be in the picture arc L. Meyerle, J, Radcliffe, E. Cuthbert, G. Heubel,
Q. Bechtel and Tom Pratt. There Is a vast difference in the appearances of the Athletics then and today.

If an official scorer ever decided a close,
play so as to please the batter and the
opposing pitcher at the samo time, there
Is no record of such an occurrence. Every
batter Is pulling for his hits, and every
pitcher Is pulling to have the blame
ahlftod on his team-mates by having them
credited with an error Instead of a hit
Hcnc. the official scorer In a baseball
game Is much better off If he keeps
severely away from the players.
It was unusual, but not startling, that
Johnny Kv ers should have "pulled a bone"
in yesterday's game But It was ultra
ttartllpg that he admitted It.
The crowd at the Polo Grounds showed
Its Interest In the city series by allow
ing the game to be finished between the
Giants and Yankees without knowing It.
They wera watohlng tha detail of the

New York oarsmen are loth to give up
their work on the river, and yesterday
the New York Bowing Association held
Us fall regatta. Good time waa made
considering the lateness of th season.
"Jimmy" Rlre has been creating quits
a bit of gossip among the college oars
men by his aggressiveness at Columbia.
Not so many days ago he announced his
Intention of promoting a dosed regatta,
and now Columbia men and others are
of the belief that such plan will work
wonders with team Interests.
"Al" McCoy is to fight "WllUe" Lawls
in New York tonight. Homo of the local
fans will smile when they read this, for
they are convinced McCoy doesn't know
what the word "fight" means. Anyhow,
Mao Is to "go on ' with Lewis. McCoy
r-as never been taken seriously as mid
dleweight champion, even though he did
manage to knock out George Chip, of
Pittsburgh. He doesn't measure ap to
the standard of champion, and It will bs
hard for any one to convince us that
he Is.
Harvard's football Injury list Is Increas
ing. Fennook now has water on the
knee and Sweetser hurt his ankle In
practice. It seems misfortunes never come
singly.
According to a story printed In New
York papers today, the Army and Navy
are at odds and the failure of the foot
ball game to materialize may mean sen
sational developments. W are not surprised.
Gridiron Gleanings From Leading Colleges
By EDWARD B. BTJSHNELTi
Ono of tho principal reasons why Penn
sylvania didn't score a single point
against Lafayette on Saturday was that
Mattheus couldn't diop kick, and tho
coaches didn't know that they had a man
In the back field who could placo kick
oven better than Dick Marshall could drop
kick last year. The man who has been
hiding his light under a bushel Is none
other than Vreeland, who In his first ef
fort at playing halfback was eclipsed In
brilliancy only by fullback Tucker. Vree
land is entirely too modost to toll of his
exploits In tho goal kicking lino, but his
record which the writer has dust up BPeaks
loudly for him.
Two years ago Vreeland was a fresh
man at Muhlenburg College where ho
played In tho back field. During that
season he scored 61 points. Of this total
he scored 24 points with goals from touch
downs, missing but a single such trial all
season. He scored 27 points In addition
with nine goals from placement during
tho season. Ho kicked one goal from
placement in every gomo on tho schedule,
and in one game he scored twice. Among
the teams against which he scored In
this manner were Lafayette, Lehigh and
Urslnus.
Vreeland hna done no kicking on Frank
lin Field, Last spring he broko his right
leg playing baseball, and has been sav
ing himself this fall. Fortunately he
kicks with his left foot, so that tho In
jury he sustained won't affect his kick
ing. The ahances are that the Quaker
coaches v. Ill give Vreeland a chance in
practice this week. Nothing delights
Head Coach George Brooke moro than
to And a man with this sort of talent, and
since Matthews has shown himself to be
undependable as a drop kicker the
coaches are likely to test Vreeland In this
department,
"Bull" McCIeary. the old State Col
lege tackle, has been of much assistance
to Coach Hedges in rounding out the
Germantown Academy team this season.
"Bull" has been out nearly every dny
on the Manhelm gridiron, working with
the line candidates, thus allowing Hedges
to spend all his time with the ends and
baakfleld men. A new acquisition In
the person of Kaiser reported for a
line berth last week, and Is expected
to fill the vacancy In the line left open
by the withdrawal of Hamill from the
squad. Kaiser Is exactly six feet In
height and tips the beam at US pounds.
The football situation out at West Phil
adelphia Is Improving to noma extent, but
the team has a long way to ro before
It can hopo to hold the speedy Northeast
and Central High elevens In the big
games next month. Quarterback Bills
practically won the recent Cheater High
battld, and he looks more and more like
on all-soholastlo choice every time out.
Wagenknlght, of course, is badly missed,
for he was. the beat man at the quarter
back position In the local schools last
year, but It Is doubtful If Coaoh Mulford
could get a better man for the position
than Ellis right now. The former Is ex
pected to get back In the game some time
next month, and In this event will more
than likely be shifted to a halfback. In
order to utilize his work In the open field.
The local schools have not shown much
Interest In cross-country running thua
far. Even Central High, the leader In
this branch of sport has been taking
things eaiy, while some of tho other
schools appear to be at a standstill. Doc
tor O'Brien has had his squad out on
Houston Field every day for a light jog,
but none of the candidates has had an
opportunity as yet to try the difficult
Lemon Hill course In Fairmount Park. (
I'nis uaturaay win see the opening of
the hill and dale season, when a race
for novices will be staged, and following
th's the teams win get down to work In
earnest.
The regulars of the Northeast High
football squad were given a rest yester
day after the hard game against 'William
son Trade School on Saturday. Captain
Webb was on the field in spite of in
juries received in the game. Hardin,
likewise Injured In Saturday's game, has
also recovered Through sheer necessity
Wilson was switched from end to half
back on Saturday and made good at his
new position. As lildpath and Ilrolt
haupt are now taking cara of th wing
positions, Wilson may win a permanent
place in the backfield.
Coach Johnson was pleased -with the
team's clever use of the forward pass.
"Webb and Heuer did some accurate toss
ing and Rldpath and Brelthaupt held on
to the oval every time it came their way,
Captain Dunn's Northeast soccer men
are fast rounding into shape and it looks
as If Northeast will again be in the run
ning for the championship. Threo teams
are practicing dally. Palt, a new man
from the Disston Grammar School, Is
showing surprising form. Parkerman and
White are also playing; well McComas,
of last year's team is unable to play be
cause of parental objections. The first
gamo will tako place on November 3,
against Morrlstown High, at Northeast
Field.
It isn t likely that rennsjUania will make
nn clianjes in tho line-up lor the Navy same
unless Wraj starts at halfback in placo of
AjOrtet. In every other position the team which
played against I.afaette gavo a good exhibi
tion anil the men Individually anil ns a team
remedied muny of the mistakes ot previous
sanies. .Ml they Itave to do now Is to main
tain the paco they have set. If any man lots
down thcro will be a lot of men lighting for
hli foaltlon.
It's 11 pretty hard matter to estimate tho
strength that tho Navy, the Indians and
hnarthmoro will presont to the Quakers. The
Jsavy has been at work ever slnco the last
week in August, when preliminary practice
started, but the team Iulb plajed only two
gomos. Tha Middles opened the sonaon with
Georgetown and won rather easily. On Satur
day they fell bofore tho prowess of thn Uni
versity of Pittsburgh. As tho Middles beat
Pittsburgh n vear ago this reversal of form
Indicates that the midshipmen are not up to
their ltU.1 record. They have lost a lot of their
lDl'l regulars, and If Pennsylvania keeps on
Improving the Red and Bluo Is likely to be
victorious.
It Is too bad that the authorities- of the
Naval Academy have refused permission to the
body of midshipmen to attend this game. If
tho Army-Navy gamo Is actually called off It
nould stem only fair to the Middies to let
them como up In a body to see their team
play They won't have a chance to leave tho
city again this fall.
If the Harvard team doesn't loe Its nerve,
now that lirlckley Is tn tho hospital recover
ing from an operation for appendicitis, the
Crimson may have a backneld very llttlo Infe
rior to that of last vear. lirlckley made his
reputation as a drop klcKer. but because he
nav so expert ha made It Impossible for Mahan
to prove his worth. Last soar whenever Drtck
ley was kept out of tho game Mahin did the
drop kicking, and ho rarely failed to score in
this manner. In one game kicking two such
goals. That he didn't score oftaner was due to
tho fact that tho Crimson had moro depend
ence In Iirtckley. But. given the chance. Mahnn
will do almost bb well, not to mention Hard
wick, who kicked one such goal on Saturday
when both Brlokley and Mahan were out, and
McKlnlock, who did It the week before. Drlck
ley was a wonderful player, but Harvard will
etlll havo a baakfleld which will stir both
Princeton and Tale to envy.

Hon for tha gsma nealnet tha University of

ts hoped, however, to have hard crtmmage.s
on at least threo days this week. Alexander,
who played such a atrong game against Pitts,
burgh Saturday during the short time he was
In the game, was in tho regular backfield dur

hold on the position.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. VS. Yale began making

Illnkey put the varsity through a long secret

Conroy took Oakes' place at loft guard, Wal

Hetts took the position of right tackle which
a Sheldon has filled during the enforced ab
sence of Von Holt, who will be out for two
weeks yet with a broken wrist.
WEST rOINT. Oct. 13.-Not much In the
way of real work oould have been accomplish
ed yesterday even if the coaches had so willed,
for so many of the Army men aro decorating
tho side lines aa a rcuult of the hard game
against Rutgers last Saturday that to form a
varsity team for scrimmaging would have been
well nigh Impossible. Such man as wero avail
able were limbered up In a driving signal drill
and tho whole squad listened to Iload Coach
Daly and his assistants for an hour In the
gymnasium, where tha faults of Saturday's
play were dwelt upon at great length.

Harvard still has the edge In veterans, with

against Jlughitt and Gait for Michigan.
CAMT1RIDOB, Mass., Oct. 12 -Harvard's

One of tha most surprising results on Satur
day was the drawn game between Bethlehem
and Victor In tho American Ixjajrue at Beth

hair time Bethlehem held a lead ot two vcala

plajed a treat same In tha second halt and
praotlcally hemmed tho steolworkers In their

Braves and tha Philadelphia Athletics on

which tlma the rival teams engaged In
a struggle that -was filled -with thrills
the. spectators showed a decided par
tiality for the National League cham
plons, but when the Phlladelphlans went
into the lead In the tenth Inning with
two runs the majority of tho vast crowd
forgot their loyalty to the Braves and
cheered the Athletics. In the second

by Gowdy, again tied the score, and the
sentiment underwent another rapid
change, and Boston was returned to its
former position of favorite Thl feeline

KALBFUS SPEAKS
WELL OF STATE'S
FIELD SPORTSMEN
In an Article Believes Every
True-hearted One Would
Give Up Gun Forever to
Aid in Propagation.
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the Board
of Come Commissioners of Pennsylvania,
Is the author of the following Interesting
article in the bulletin printed by the
American Game Protective Association:
"Regarding the reported nesting ef
ducks in PymatunluK swamp, about which
the bulletin Inquires, I would say, I be
lieve that more or less ducks of various
kinds, especially black ducks and wood
ducks, with some ordinary mallards, have
been hatching In this Bwamp since the
discovery of Pennsylvania, the number
gradually growing less up to the begin
ning of this year. I am not posted regard
ing the number of ducks that may be now
making that section their abiding place,
but I am satisfied that the protection
given through the national law controlling
migratory birds will cause many of these
birds to stop In this place, and it will
again become, as In former times, a noted
breeding place for this species of game.
"I note what Is said In several letters
from your omce regarding the success of
the effort to secure an appropriation for
ths enforcement of the migratory blid
law, and I most heartily congratulate
jour organisation for the Bplendld work
done In securing this end. If the com
mittee that haa In charge the drafting
of regulations controlling the enforcement
of this law Is only halfway fair, It
seems to me there should be no trouble
anywhere In the United States. over Its
provisions As I said In Wilmington
few weeks ago, I do not believe there
is a true sportsman In Pennsylvania, who
Is not -willing to put up his gun forever
If he Is shown that such action is neces
sary to preserve any species of wild birds,
but we could not Bee the Justice or reason
In Bajlng that Pennsylvania and other
States shou d not kill certain birds at all.
while certain other sections were given
an open season for such birds."
