PENN SQUAD WORKS
LIGHT IN PRACTICE
FOR STATE CONTEST
Signal Drill, With Every Man
in Place Is Deemed Suf
ficient on Eve of Big
Game
NEW FOOTBALL PROMISED
A light signal drill with every man In
his place, following tho usual preliminary
work, was all that the University of
Pcnnsjlvnnla coaches gave their eleven
this afternoon, In preparation for the
gnme with State College tomorrow aft
ernoon, The up-State men are expected
to give the Red nnd Blue a fiercer battlo
than they hnvc yet hod, nnd tho conches
want their players to be in the best of
shape for them.
All of the Quakers reported In good con
dition, though Quarterback Berry s'.'ll
has a stiff leg. tho result of his injury on
Wednesdny. He has been rested up since
that time und expects to be completely
well tomorrow. The conches have decided
to fltart Qulgley at fullback nnd Welsh and
Tlgho at the halfbacks, Tne only cnangd
here from last week's lineup Is tho siili-
though Williams Is so strong on th at
tack that he Is sure to get Into the game.
Should Berry have to retire his place will
be taken by Bell, The line will start Just
as jt has played all season.
It is believed that Pennsylvania will
show some brand new formations ngnlnst
ptnte. The tenm has been working them
put during the week behind closed gates.
Tho new plays, which are credited to tho
Inventive brain of Dr. Carl Williams,
have worked well against the scrubs. The
new formation permits of a great variety
of plays, and football experts nre curious
to sec how they work against a team of
State's strength.
The one tblpB the Quaker conches have
been urging on their team is tnp neces
slty of a continuous offense. Ji the West
Virginia and Frapklln and Marshall
games the team scored rgh' nt th6 start,
and for the remainder of each game ad
vanced tho ball by fits and gtqrts. The
players have been told In pointed fashion
that such tactics will not bp permitted
from th's time on, nnd that unless tho
backs do better against Stnte there will
be somo radical shifts op Monday.
The State eloven arrived nt West
Philadelphia thte morning and then took
a train Immediately for Whltcmarsh
Country Club. Late this afternoon they
had a signal drill under the direction of
Head Coach Harlow and Field Coach
Larry Whitney. Neither coach would
make the prediction about tho result,
though both were sure It would be a hard
battle. The two teams will lino up to
morrow as follow :

GRIFFITH TO TRADE TWO
Ray lorgon nnd Joe Boehling Play
ers in Question
WASHINGTON, P, C, Oct. 8.-Durlng
tho coming winter Manager Griffith will
make a strenuous effort to trndo both
Ray Morgan and Joe Boehling. If a
trade is not possible thay may be allowed
to go to some other major leaguo club at
tha waiver price, for the head of the
Grlftmen is thoroughly convinced that
neither of the players mentioned wll be
of any service to tho team next season.
Morgan had a brilliant future When
Griffith took hold here and at ones es
tablished him at second base. He hit
well that season, and was picked by
many to make op ot the best second
basemen In the league. In those d;'M
Ray was attendlnjr strictly to business
and did not own an automobe. From
the time he got his own car, however,
hfs work fell off, and tills season his
absence for several months undoubtedly
was responsible for the many defeats the
Nationals suffered at that time and prob
ably prevented the team from finishing
as good as third In the race.
Joe Boehling had o very poor year. In
one or two games he showed Ids old
form, but most pf tho time ho had to
be taken out. Boehling may still have
the making ot a good pitcher, but no
will have to mend his ways. Twice this
season Boehlln? was fined for disobeying
tho tralnlns rul, nd at no time has
be (ooksd as If ho was down In weight
enough to do himself justice.

CRAVATH SACRIFICED
RECORD FOR GOOD
OF PHILLIES' TEAM
Had Fine Chance to Tie the
Home Run Mark of 25 Made
by Buck Freeman
in 1899
GAVVY HAS TWENTY-FOUR
When Qnvvy Cravath mnde his Hth
home run of thn reason Wednesday after
noon In the first gnme of the Brooklyn
Phillies double-header, every fan In the
lncloBUrc was pulling for him to repeat
in the second affray nnd tie the world'
circuit clouting record of 25, made by
Buck Freeman, of Washington, In 18V9.
Sluch to the surprise of the spectators
Gavvy was not In tho line-up of the
second gnme,
Jlany players In Cravath's place would
have gone Ipto that second game Just to
get a chance to equal that great record,
but Gavvy refused because he wanted to
be in shape for the world's series.
''Of course, I would liked to have tied
Freeman's record." said Gavvy, "but I
am not playing ball for records. We want
to win that world's series, and it is more
Important that I be in good condition
for the series than It la to establish a
new homo-run mark. Records are all
right and there isn't nny use saying tlint
a man doesn't like to make one, but I feel
that when I am playing for a ball cluo.
I am playing for It and with It, and not
for the baseball archives."
Cravath has hnd a bad knee for some
time, but by constantly keeping It bound
and being careful he has been able to
play In nearly every game during the
last rnonth. He says thnt he will be In
)uat as good shape for the series aa he
ever was, and as so much Is expected
of him It Is essential that he rest as
much as possible.

BARRY IS ON THE JOB
EVERY TIME WORLD'S
SERIES KALE IS THERE
Ex-Athletics' Star, After Pres
ent Clash, Will Have Shared
in Coin for the Fifth
Time
ONLY ONCE AS LOSER
Oeorge Whltted and Oscar Dugey nre
called the luckiest men In baseball, be
cause they were fortunate enough to
hiive shared in tho world's series last
season and get a slice of the,monoy ngaln
this vcar, but Jack Harry, who was the
kejnoto to the famous J100.000 Infield
of the Athletics, has all others beaten
for good fortune In this respect.
lly cutting In on the world's series
money this tall Horry will equal the re
markable record of Harry Davis, cap
tain of the Athletics, nnd "Chief" Uen
der, who shared In the receipts of five
world's series.
Davis end Dcnder were with the Ath
letics In 1!3 when they met the Giants
and were vl(h the championship teams
ot 1910, 1011, 1913 and 1914. Harry was
In on the money n the four years the
wonderful Mack machine reigned su
preme, and by reason of the determina
tion of Mack to tear his machine apart,
Parry will again be In on the money.
That Harry Is en the present series rc-
ceipts is due to his own ; excellent Judg-J vl,,'- ";, " 1MB are"7hown I,
pient. When Mack decided that UarryTtho foUw,np tabulation: ' "
wns no longer wanted In his plan to
build up a new machine, he allowed Barry
to select hi new team ns six American
League clubs lefused to waive on the
Mnclc star. Barry looked the field over
pnd selected the Hed Sox, with the result
that he will get his fifth world's scries
check In a few days.
The First National Hank of Merlden,
Conn., probably thanks the National
Commission and Barry's unusual luck for
much of Its surplus, ns Jack has been
depositing his world's series checks there
with monotonous regularity.

BOSTON'S FIELD
SHOULD INCREASE
SERIES' RECEIPTS
Immense Capacity of New
Stadium May Set New
Attendance Record
?490,449 NOW IS MARK
Onners and playsrs of the Phillies and
Hcd Sox are expected to divide more than
300.000 paid In at the gntes by the base
ball fans of the two cltes most Interested
In tho series, with the Immense, seating
capacity of the Boston National's new
sladlum, which wilt be used for the
games In that city, the receipts should
be larger than In any previous contests
In one park.
Tho Braves' stadium wilt seat almost
,0(W nnd the receipts should exceed WO,-
M0 per game. Here the Phillies park
wilt not hold more than .1.000 and the
goto la not likely to bo more than W,090.
Even under these conditions the player
and magnates will split the major portion
of 1210,000, In case the scries tltla Is won
In four games straight and mora than
double that sum should the series go six
or soven games. In any event It appears
P'ooauio mat new gate recelpta records
will be established, since the present high
figures aro $190,449, collected In the eight
game series between the New York Giants
and Boston Ited Sox in 1912. while the
Individual gnme record Is held hv tha
opening contest of the Athletlc-Ulants
series of 1911, played at Now York, when
3S.2S1 spectntors paid I77.S59 to witness tha
contest.
It is certain tho players and stock
holders of the two contending clubs In
the scries starting today will not have
cause for complaint regarding the finan
cial returns and division of the same.
The rivalry of tho players and the in.
tcrcst of tho fans assuro big gate re
ceipts and the National agreement and
tho National Commission rulings provide
for the distribution of tho same along tha
following lines-
The National Commission receives 10
per cent, of the receipts of each and every
game; of the remaining '0 per cent, the
players take 60 per cent, and the club
owners 40 per cent, of the first four r
games. After four gam.s have been
played the players cease to shar :n the
receipts and the club owners take the full
90 per cent, remaining after the National
Commission has levied Its assessment. "
Flnce the world's series came under Hh
ofTlclal control of orgnnlzed baseball the
total receipts have amounted to K.168,
273. Of this huge sum the M clubs par
ticipating In tho games between 1P03 and
1911 have divided $1,004,517, while the play-r
crs who won nnd lost the championships
In these years split $ST3,098 on a basis of
CO per cent, to the winning team and 40
per cent, to the losing combination. The
National Commission has received 1211,
646, and the coming share of the Red
Sox-Philllcs series will be welcome, for
the large reserve of the commission has
melted away In the last two years, owing
to heavy expenses incurred ip the strug
gle between organized and Independent
barrball Interests.
