Although President Weeghman has declined to deny or affirm the rumor, it is known that he is far from satisfied with the showing which Tinker has made this season. It is the opinion of Chicago fans and critics that Tinker placed too high a value upon the material of the former Chicago Federal League team, which was absorbed into the Cubs when Weeghman became president of the latter club. Tinker retained most of the Federal leaguers who worked under him as manager of the Whales. Dickinson Has Problem; Will Increase Coaches Carlisle. Pa.. Sept. 26. A great problem has been solved by the coach ing staff of Dickinson College this sea son through the appearance on Biddie Field of Tom Keep, former star guard and tackle at Villanova. and at pres ent a first year student at the Dickin son law school. Reep has offered his services in teaching the line candidates and promises to be an aid in whipping the new recruits into shape. Coaches Craver and Dunn to-day set about in earnest to prime Dickinson for Satur day's game with the Navy. To-day particular attention was paid to the aerial attack, with Palm. Pierce and Hendricks shining on the receiving end. while Swope and Welch brought forth applause from the spectators with their accurate hurling. Negotia tions are on with Villanova for a game In Scranton during Old Home Week, hut it is understood that the local au thorities are not favorable to a mid week contest, and in all probability the matter will be dropped. Penn Statf Loses Painter; Was Star Varsity Center State College, Pa., Sept. 26.—An other first-string player at Penn State has gone over to the ineligibles be cause of scholastic troubles, it was definitely announced to-day at the training quarters. Painter, the varsity center of last year's eleven, has fallen under the faculty ban and he told Resident Coach Harlow to look for an other pivot man to fill his shoes. Painter's case has been under ad visement for a fortnight and it was hoped that his affairs might be ad justed. Every one of the twenty-three State players who got into the Sus quehanna game on Saturday came through in fine shape. Early season indications point to a repetition of last year's record, when the Blue and White team went through the entire schedule of nine games without a min ute of time taken out because of in juries to State players.

A tie j contest between the teams Saturday and double-headers already agreed | upon for to-day and to-morrow had | made it impossible to complete the series before Wednesday.

GIANTS' RECORD NEW FOR MAJORS Providence Holds Honors For Thirty-Two Years; Minors Do Better New York, Sept. The New York Nationals' double over the St. Louis club here yesterday enabled the Giants to lay claim to a new major league record for consecutive games won In one season. At the comple tion of the double-header tlio team had won twenty-one straight victor ies, thus displacing the record of the famous Providence Grays, who won twenty games in a row in ISB4. During: the thirty-two years since Providence set the twenty-game rec ord the figures have been threatened several times by big league clubs, but never equaled or surpassed until yes terday. In 1906 the Chicago Amer ican League club won nineteen in a stretch. The New York Giants ran eighteen straight in 1904 and seven teen games earlier in the present sea son. Minor Record* Several minor league clubs have ex ceededl these flgrures, the best records being twenty-seven games by the Cor sicana club of the Texas League in 1902; twenty-flve games by the Char lotte club of the Carolina League in the same year, and twenty-four games by the Jersey City club, of the East ern League, in 1903. In winning twenty-one games straight, the Giants actually figured in twenty-two games, because one con test ended in a tie and was eliminated from consideration in computing the winning streak. In one respect, how ever. the record does not compare with that of the Providence club, as Pitcher Charley Radbourne twirled the Grays to victory in eighteen out of the twen ty games won by his club in the 18S4 stretch of conquests. Schupp and Perrltt, who have both pitched great ball duirlng the New York team's run of victories, twirled In fine fashion and had thfc St. Louis batters at their mercy. Schupp, Mc- Graw's young left-hander, tied the Providence record by shutting out St. Louis in the first game. During the winning streak Schupp liaß pitched two two-hit games, two three-hit games and one six-hit game, three of them being shutouts. MANY CELEBRATIONS Marietta, Pa., Sept. 26.—Mr. and Mrs. Frank Loucks, life-long residents of Marietta, celebrated their forty first wedding anni\ ersary on Satur day.

WELLY'S M CORNER Pat Moran is looking more h.ipeful these days. It may be a battle be tween Brooklyn and Phils. Boston is certain to win the American League pennant and is already arranging for World's series tickets. The race is not ended however in either league. The Harrlsburg Academy bowlers opened the season last night. The Bitters won tho first ducltpin contest, defeating the New Ideas, scores 1398 to 1242. The Academy league was reorganised for the season with six teams, Bitters, Barbers, New Ideas, Ottlcers, Factors and Bakers. Willlamstown baseball fans are still sore over the Jolt handed them by Marysville on Saturday. The Wil llamstown manager, according to re ports, refuses to accept the explana tion about Wcrtz and claims that the Brooklyn Breaks Even; Phillies Move Higher In the National Leagrue both Phil adelphia and Boston gained a little on the leading Brooklyn team, the champions winning from Cincin nati, while Boston scored a double victory over Pittsburgh. Brooklyn could do no better than break even with Chicago, hence is only one game ahead of Philadelphia and four in front of Boston. The standing: W. J j. Pet. Brooklyn 8S 57 .60689 Philadelphia .... 86 57 .60274 Boston 81 58 .58333 All Boston has to do to count Detroit out of the pennant race in the American League is to win two of its remaining seven games. As a result of yesterday's contests the champion's record is 87 won and 60 lost, so two more wins would make It 83 victories and 65 defeats. De troit has only three games left to play and now has 85 won and 66 last, so that by winning the trio it would standi 88-66, one whole game behind Boston. The standing: W. L Pet.

She will be buried from the home to-mor row morning at 9 o'clock. No funeral arrangements have been made for Mrs. Leah Byers. papers printed announcements of th games and Wertz could not have over looked the date for the first contest. If the National League season wai to be prolonged two weeks, the Giant* would he a big factor in the race. Th pace set by the McGraw aggregation is tlio greatest In the history of the National game. New York now has a team second to none In the league. £oach Shorty Miller gave Tdch high squad the first scrimmage yesterday. It was decided to call off the game for Saturday and the Tech stjuad will In all probability attend the Central high- Lancaster game. William Britsch, one of Tech's back fleld stars, has quit.

TOUR OWN HIGHWAY COMMISSION Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, says: "The dusty season is upon us. Every pleasant Sunday afternoon . from now until late October, dozens > and possibly hundreds of automobiles will drive by your place. Perhaps ' you will be drtving yourself. You may prefer, however, to sit and rest on the porch or in the front yard. ' But can you do so with any comfort? Will you sit in clouds of dust, with , your trees, shrubbery, and lawn white with it? There is an easy and in expensive way to .avoid it. Road oil. 1 which can now be bought in nearly i every town, costs about 10 cents per , gallon in barrel lots. It is put on with an ordinary sprinkling can. Depend ' ing upon the condition of the road a i gallon will oil from two to four square ■ yards. Figure it out for the strip in I front of your house. Oiling fifty or a • hundred yards may be the making of your Sunday and evening comfort." 11
