CENTRAL HIGH TRAINS FOR HARD FOE—PFEFFER SHOWS BEST MOUND FORM CENTRAL TRAINS FOR BALTIMORE Expect Hard Game and Vic tory; Gardner Shows Well at Guard When Central High's eleven lines up against Baltimore City College on Sat urday some real football is due on the scene. Although the Blue and Gray team won from Baltimore, 38 to 0. last year, it was on their home field and .under the leadership of Captain Harry Rote. Baltimore has been trav eling at a fast clip since the opening of this season, humbling Conway Hall recently to the tune of 6 to 2. However, Central's chances for win ning on Saturday are far above their opponents'. Only one team was able to beat Central last year, that being Lancaster High. This season Central beat Lancaster, 6 to 0. Central at Johnstown The game at Johnstown last Satur day was nothing short of miraculous. Considering the way Central held the heavy Johnstown High team, local football fans expect the downfall of Baltimore City College, funeral to be held Saturday next. On October 21 Stevens Trade School, of Lancaster, will play Captain Hilton and his charges at Island Park. Gardner has been playing a good gaino as guard and will likely be given a permanent berth on the varsity. Frank is playing a great game, he be ing even better than last year. The probable line-up against Baltimore will be: Herring and Eldrldge, ends; Frank and Mart, tackles; Gardner and Roe der, guards; Good, center; Wolfe, quarterback; Hilton and Gregory, half backs; Fields, fullback.

There was Just as much difference between the pltch- ing yesterday and that of Monday as there is between sun up and sun down. In the second game in Boston Ruth and Smith battled through fourteen in nings of super pitching with all the skill of seasoned veterans, but to-day Jack Coombs and Caii Mays had to quit under the fire and of the two who succeeded them Big Jeff Pfeffer worked to much better advantage than did George Foster. The cold brisk wind which swept over the Held chilling the spectators and causing the utility players to bun dle up in great coats and sweaters may have had something- to do with the ineffectiveness of Coombs and Mays, and then again the change of facing two right-handers after looking at the speedy southpaw deliveries of Ruth and Smith the day before may have been the needed tonic the two clubs needed to slit open their batting optics. Jeff Had the Goods Of the four men who mounted the mound Pfeffer gave the best exhibition. He succeeded Coombs in the seventh after Larry Gardner had deposited his long home run over the right field palings and every man of the Sox he pitched to after that went down in or der. He faced eight and only three sot the ball out of the infield, all going out on flies. Coombs* inability to come through after having a four-run lead cast a gloom oil the big delegation of Phlla delphians who came here to-day to see the opener in this borough and in cidentally figuring upon seeing Coombs pitch. While Jack was not batted to all corners of the lot, the Sox only nicking him for seven hits during his stay, nevertheless they met nearly every ball hard and the veteran of the Athletics and the adviser of Robinson probably figured K© was going to lose tho game for the Dodgers if he stayed in much longer after Gardner bad located him for the home run in the seventh. It was not a case of Robinson taking out Coombs. After that four-ply cir cuit wallop by the Sox third sacker Jack simply waved his hand to Pfef fer, who was warming up in center field, and as Big Jeff came hurrying in, Jack simply tossed the ball over to him and walked to the bench. In asmuch as Pfeffer put an effectual stop to the American Leaguers' hitting Coombs' wisdom in quitting at the crit ical moment probably saved the Dodg ers from defeat. "PEP" AT PENS STATE State College, Pa., Oct. 11.—A little of the old-fashioned football weather put a snap into the scrimmage of the Penn State eleven yesterday, when the freshmen lined up against them. The first-year men by determined plunging kept the ball well in the territory of the regulars, who had a hard time keeping from being scored on. Kraft and O'Donnell, who are fighting it out for the varsity left guard position, were both In the game. The former seemed to have the edge on his oppon ent. Ochsenreiter, kicking for the freshmen, outpunted Hess, and play edj a first-class defensive and offensive game. READING MAN BUYS BILLY M. Reading. Pa., Oct. 11. William B.

But it was a more marvelous accom plishment when that same car turned around and went back across the con tinent and completed the round trip in ten days twenty-one hours and three minutes. Up to last August the best one-way time for any automobile was seven days and eight hours. But the same Hudson Super-Six has now made the round trip in just two and a half days longer time than was required for the one-way trip in the beat record up to August. The Hudson on its return trip beat every previous transconti nental record except its own. It had a fair chance to do that up to the last leg of the trip. On the going trip the distance from San Francisco to Elko, Nevada, was made in 20% hours. On account of rains In the Sierra Nevada mountains, thirty-live hours were re quired on the return trip to negotiate that distance. The car was l'i hours ahead of its schedule when It reached Elko. But as it took fifteen hours longer to finish the laßt COO miles than we required in making those same COO miles In the going trip, it was unable to break its own record. Still it ar rived back in San Francisco in fifty seven minutes less time ihan any other ear that ever made the transconti nental run. One does not have to be the "oldest inhabitant" to recall the year when a fast railroad train trying for a mail contract took six days to cross tl '■ con tinent. Anything less than six days in a journey by rail from coast to coast was worth mention in the news col umns. But a few years ago it was worth a first page announcement when an automobile turlng party was able to report, no matter In how many days, that it made the full distance unaided. The transcontinental run of the Hudson Super-Six marks a new mile stone in civilization's progress. The run from San Francisco to New York and return is a most marvelous record. No automobile ever before attempted the round trip against time. The Hud son Super-Six set out to establish a record for endurance. Every tdst it has entered it has won. It was not that records were desired to allow speed, but that proof was sought in dicating that tbe Super-Six, by rea son of its exclusively controlled and patented motor, so reduced vibration that a new standard of motor endur ance has been established by It. Speed proves endurance to a motor just as it shows the endurance of a man. Continuous fast running produces the same fatigue to machinery as it does to a man. So by tests on the speed way, when the Super-Six was driven 1,819 miles in twenty-four hours—s2 per cent, further than any other trav eling machine ever went In that time —we were able to crowd punishment into that short time exceeding any thing like years of service would im pose upon the car. It is 3,476 miles from San Franci&co to New York. In the going trip the Super-Six averaged 28.14 miles per hour. This included all stops and the slowing down to the speed require ments of more than 350 cities, towns and villages. The return trip, for the reasons already stated, was not so fast. But counting all stops from the time the car left San Francisco until it re turned, it traveled 7,952 miles at the rate of approximately 700 miles a day. By a single invention the Super-Six patented motor which Hudson exclu sively controls was this speed made possible. Science produced that motor out of the Hudson engineering staff. Science brought the motorcar up to its present point of reliability. Finely tempered steel and other metals, it is true, made possible the remarkable run of the Super-Six. But these were available also to all cars. It was the Super-Six patented motor which has increased the efficiency of the auto mobilo to the extent shown in this remarkable round trip across the con tinent. Gasoline is the great magician that makes possible miracles undreamed of wherf tho Arabian Nights were made so entrancing by man's imaginative powers. Tribute must be paid to the Ingenuity of man that has developed that magician. But greater tribute must be paid to the higher refinements of mechanical and chemical skill which combined find expression in the Hudson Super-Six to the extent of making possible its great perform ances and thus point to the possibili ties of motorcar development. Such performances as have been shown by the Super-Six set the world to thinking. They open new channels of thought about our country. Where the automobile has proved in such a startling way how it links the country to the city, the Super-Six proves how to link coast to coast. Through the development of gasoline and me chanical development as has been shown in the Super-Six it has laced together the great wastes of spaces of the United States. 1 t World's Series Figures Show Larger Receipts The National Commission an nounced the following official fig ures for the third game of the world's series at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn: Paid admissions 21,087 Total receipts 169,762.00 Players' share 37,671.48 Each club's share 12,557.18 Nat'l Commission's share.. 6,976.20 Standing of the Clubs W.
