After nil. four forty per cents make 10 per
cent, and ICO par cent Isn't the worst In
vestment a man ever made. As Julius
Caesar didn't say? "I had rather get forty
per cent In a little Iberian village than no
per cent In Rome."
Those who care to can Josh them as they
will, but we know of more than ono earnest
athlete who would bo willing enough to
collect 10,000 In four forty per cent splits.
In addition to Leonard's steady pitching'
after the first reel and Boston's aggressive
attack, there was the same safe and sure
consistency to the Red Sox defense afield.
Young Scott completed another errorless
afternoon. Ills favorite ditty now Is, "This
Is the end of a perfect fielding day." So
far ho has run down twenty-nine chances
with out a slip, and about twelve of these
have called for long, accurate throws Into
Hobby's waiting mltta, where a matter of
ono or two feet either way would have
lost tho runner. Scott'a Infield exhibition
so far has never been surpassed, unless by
Buck Herxog In 1912.
Cover Ground
In this fourth game the Red Sox outfield
again ranged far and wide for every offered
chance. There Is no such snappy phrase
as 'hitting them where they ain't" na'np.
Piled to this, trio which Lewis and Hooper
featured. x This circling pair of hawks
pulled down no less than ten Robins In the
days hunt, and three of these accepted
chances klllod impending doubles.
Brooklyn's defense was as spotty br Bos
ton s was sure. The Robins only ran up
four mlsplays. but there wero other "Ames
where they failed to arrive on drives that
Boston would have smothered.
Part of this may have been due to the
i.',,0' H0,8'0" b,0W8' '"
?.., .iter MBrJu-d and Cheney with
lr.U.,t)? not t0 " vlrlI '
The iprference between the two teams
defensively is partly shown by these succu
lent statistics:
Boston so far has accepted 100 chances
with t only four errors; Brooklyn In 1SG
chancea has run up ten errors. And
beyond these figures Boston has gono' out
and got drives that Brooklyn fielders would
never have reached.
Lost tho Chances
Brooklyn In this fourth gamead two
chances to raise trouble. The first came
In the opening reel. wheiL Johnston tripled.
Myers singled and Merkle walked. Wheat
then forced Myers at second, but on Jan
vrln'a error Merkle scored and Wheat
reached, third. Brooklyn here had two
runs over with runners on first and third,
with only ono out With LeonarJ reeling
and Boston bothered, as Cutshaw started to
steal. Wheat ambled oft third and was
promptly nailed ten feet from base,
Brooklyn's last chance came In the
fourth, when Cutshaw doubled and Mow,
rey walked. Olson was called upon ta sac
rifice, but, In place of advancing the two
runners to whern n hit wntAiila th ..,....

WORR'OUTWELLIN
PRACTICE SESSION
Folwell's Trick Formations
Run Off Smoothly in
Drill With Scrubs
BERRY MAY DO PUNTING
By NEIL MATHEWS
Captain of Tenn Football Team.
Tho boys are beginning to rly eome reat
football. The new plays given to us by
Coach Kolwell are working out well In prac
tice, and against tho scrubs we find It not
so hard to make gains with Folwell's trick
formations.
Yesterday the boyB were buoyed tip with
hope when they saw a familiar flguro upon
Franklin Field, out there booting the ball
and getting away some of the longest punts
seen on the field 'this season. It waa Nig
Berry In his first practice sesalon with the
Red and Blue squad.
There was a snappy signal drill In the
afternoon and all the new plays were given
a thorough rehearsal. Swarthmore has n
good team this year, and the victory ot the
Garnet over Lafayette last Saturday makes
the Little Quakers look even more danger
ous, i
This wilt be Just the test wo need, for on
the following Saturday wo meet I'enn State,
and tt Is just tho game we want to give us
a chance to try a few of our now forma
tions on a well-coached and veteran team.
It we get away all right against Bill Roper's
team then we can get a good line on our
chances against Harlow's State eleven.
Berry Is not yet eligible for tho team, and
It will require n llttlo time for him to get
used to the Folwetl system. He worked
hard yesterday, and ho seems bent on mak
ing a place In the Red and Bluo backfleld.
With Berry In form and a member of the
scoring quartet, then Penn wlJ havo one
big gap filled that of having a punter, and
one who will comparo with the best In tho
Kast Hls'punts carried from fifty to sixty
yards and were high enough to give the
ends plenty of time to get down the field.
A short scrimmage will be held this after-
noon, the nnal before the Swarthmore'
battle. Folwell does not believe In keeping
the boys scrimmaging so long that they nre
all battered up and come out In worse shape
than If they had gone through a hard game.

FRANCIS OUIMBT'S AMATEUR
STANDING WILL BE TAKEN UP
AGAIN BY GOLF COMMITTEE
New Eriglanders to Wage Battle to Reinstate the
Pride of Boston Town Woodland Golf
Club Will Lead the Fight
Hy SANDY
SHAM battles, aklrmlahea and other pre
llmlnary volleys will shortly be launched
by the New Kngland golf clubs against
what Is termed the "tyranny" of tho United
States Oolf Association In Its stand on the
amateur question. The fight, according to
ofTlclals of the dissenting body, will Involve
a change In the drastic ruling of last year,
and one big reason for Its being Instituted
la that It beheaded Boston's pride nnd fa
vorite son, Francis Oulmet.
JJ.flihtJ"r.m bs ''d b' lh Woodland
oolf Club, Oulmefs club, which claims to
have lined up a formidable array of clubs
all over the country to back It up In lta
"revolution."
Oulmet was benten last year In the ama
teur championship at Detroit, nnd because
of the fact that little has been heard this
year of his game It Is the feeling In many
quartern that the former famous amateur
nnd open champion of tho United States
has rather thrown over tho game of golf
nnd has tet his playing slide. Just the
opposite Is the case, as there was nmple
opportunity for a large golf gathering to
otervo In a round of golf Oulmet showed
over the Belmont Spring course during the
play there last week for the women's golf
championship of America.
"Gone Hack:'
Oulmet has gone back! He has gone
back If missing one putt tn his round
comes under the head of "going back" nnd
If Kettlng a 7s over an unfamiliar and
luck-rlddert course Is something contrary
to his past .efforts. Those moat familiar
with the young star's game say that right
at tho present time he Is virtually the best
golfer In tho country and that hla game
"a season has never been excelled oven
at tho height ot all his glory when he was
acknowledged aa the beat amateur golfer
In the land. Jt,
Oulmet played with Hugh Robertson, a
well-known golf expert, architect and
Player,
"Oulmet has never played the game he i
playing this season," said Robertson at
the end of the round. "I do not know of an
amateur in the country at this mlnufo who
can touch the game he Is playing." He Is
playing his shots right. He hits every
one right In tho middle and puts It right
where he wants to lay It down. H Is
much steadier than ho was ns n youngster.
Today he didn't miss a single shot except
one putt. I have never seen any golfer
show the gamo that Oulmet la playing
now."
Balmy Day of It
Others In the match that went out ex
pressed the same opinion. Going out Oulmet
had two "birds" and was never worse than
par except on the ninth hole, where he
could not sink a four-foot putt Coming
home he had three "birds" and was three
better than the Massachusetts par for Uie
course.
'Oulmet's strong suit was getting out of
trouble, as was shown by hla work on the
McNIBUCK
last two holes. On the long seventeenth
elbow hole he put his Iron second over
the green. Being fooled ns to dlatanco by
tho treea In back of the green. From the
underbrush, shrubbery and trees he chipped
hla ball Up ti within n foot of the cup
nnd got hla 4. On the eighteenth he nlgp
overappmached tho green by quite n dis
tance and his ball brought up alongside a
stone vail, from which ho did not have
much room to swing his club, lie poked
his ball on tho green nnd then sank a
fifteen-toot putt nnyhow for his 4,
Oolf like that does the work.
Oulmet drives a tremendous ball. Ills
thot off tho first tee was "just beginning
lo travel" when It Came to the place where
the ot-ier golfers In the match drove. Two
of them were professionals and supposedly
long hitters.

Here's Something New
There never was a golf tournament like
the ono that tho Farm Journal Is running
next Saturday, October 14.
This golf tournament Is for advertising
men only, and Is being pulled off all over
the United States on tho same day, con
testants nt one club competing with those
at another.
This Is all worked out very simply, and
the conditions of play aro almost equally
simple. Knch contestant plays eighteen
holes on Saturday, the 14th. He malls his
attested scorrenrd to reach the Farm Jour
nal by October 30. On this card ho shows:
(a) par of the course: (b) length of tho
course; (c), his own club handicap; (d).
weather conditions that prevailed while he
waa playing.
Then all these scorerards that come to
tho Farm Journal nre sized up ; first on the
basis of the scoro Itself, nnd then on tho
basis of tho difficulty of the course, weather
conditions and other details of this sort.
