BREAKS RUN COSTLY FOR BROOKLYN IN FOURTH GAME—BIG GAME SATURDAY TECH WORKS HARD FOR EASTON GAME Anxious to Square Things For Last Season's Defivt; Line-up Still Uncertain t Coaches Pcndergast and Miller put the finishing touches on the Tecfy High School squad this afternoon in prepa ration for the contest to be played on the- Island Saturday afternoon with Er.ston High School.

Line-up Still Vncertatn Just who will be used in the contest is hiird to tell, but it is likely that the coaches will give as many of the can didates a trial as the result of the game will allow. Should the visitors prove unusually strong, the full Ma roon strength will go through the en tire game. If possible, the coaches want to give two or three sets of play ers a chance so that a better line on their playing can be secured. The Tec h band, led by Thomas Stacks, held its first rehearsal to-day and will fur nish music for the game. Spill at Newport Races; Commings Is Big Winner Newport. Pa..

I * DICK HAJ?WW. State College, Pa., Oct. 12.—Penn State's magnificent game against Buck nell on Saturday has pleased the coaches and student body. They were impressed by the savage attack of the back field in the first half and by the defensive play of the linemen through out the fray. Harlow's in struction in perfecting a hard-hitting running attack enabled State to gather fifty points while the Orange and Blue eleven collected a single touchdown. It was an easier game than State looked for. twenty points being about the margin figured on by Captain Clark's men. Floyd Parrish, the var sity wrestler, played a superb defensive game, and to-day Harlow put him at right guard in Jim O'Donnell's po sition. Krushank. Ege and Swain, the regulars kept out of Saturday's conflict with injuries, have resumed their places in the first string line-up. Each of State's men lost from seven to eight pounds in the game. Manager Mcllhenny Hopes Brooklyn Will Win Today As a baseball manager George W. Mcllhenny has been quite successful. He announced to-day that the Renier electric board would be on hand next year for the world's series and that in keeping with his program this week he would introduce new features dally. In the event of Boston winning to day there will be no game to-morrow. Manager Mcllhenny hopes to see the windup in Brooklyn. There is a proba bility that the series may go seven games. That would happen if Brook lyn won to-day and to-morrow. ilf the series ends to-day. Manager Mcllhenny will at once take up plans for the basketball season. He has a i number of high class bookings for this season in connection with the Harris burg Independents' games. I.FW RITTER IS STILL BUSY Manager Lew Hitter does not look for the windup of the series at Boston to-day. He is of the opinion that Brooklyn will come back and that an other game will be played in Brooklyn to-morrow. However, should Boston ! win to-day, it will mean the close of the electric board series at the Board I of Trade building. The reproduction of yesterday's came showed the electric wonder giv ; ine the quickest results. Fans who | attended the game at the Board of !

M. C. A. Re sponsible London, Oct.. 11.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press) —There isn't any thing like as much drunkenness In the British army as there used to be. Lord French attributes much of this improve ment to the great work done by the Young Men's Christian Association and kindred bodies. Tney have established innumerable substitutes for the canteen which Thomas Atkins has found much more attractive and much less expensive They provide wholesome refreshment and harmless recreation for him. and religion too—if he wants it. Often he helps himself to all three. It was the opening of the new Y. M. C. A. hut by Lord French that enabled him to tell how much the army had benefited by such work. "I remember," he said, "when I first Joined the army—how long ago I don't like to remember— the only refuge of the soldier was the canteen. In those days we had old soldiers who used prac tically to live on beer. It used to be quite a common thing In those days for an old soldier to sell his food to the young recruit and buy beer to live upon i it. I "I think it is something like thirty or thirty-five years ago since the found ers of the Y. M. C. A. commenced their beneficent work and the change that has come over the personnel of the army during that time has been something very little short of miraculous. Those iwho have served all those years In the army can realize it better than any , body else. ' "A few years before the war co.m menced this Improvement began to j manifest itself in a most extraordinary manner, and especially with regard to the diminution of crime. Drunkenness i was formerly a most prevalent crime in the army. I remember we used to have strings of defaulters outside the orderly rooms waiting to be punished for drunkenness . You hardly ever see a drunken soldier now, and In many other directions the work of these in stitutions upon the spiritual and moral development of the soldier is very marked and has been clearly proved. "When I was commander-in-chief in France for some eighteen months I realized what these institutions have done for soldiers. It was on the fields of battle tliat the men showed what •different men they were. This war has . demanded more In the way of nerve and courage from our men than any war that has ever happened in the history of the world. The most constant cour j age has had to be exercised every mo t ment of the day and night. No bit of i ground is secure from the long range high explosive shells. But through it all our men have shown a magnificent courage. One cannot but remember that the old soldiers of the past were splen j did, but they certainly never surpassed j the splendid courage that has been i shown in this war. One cannot help thtnking that perhaps it is to be traced to the work of these institutions, 85,000 Acres of Additional Land Under Cultivation ! Dublin, Ireland Oct. 11.—The efforts of the Irish Department of Agriculture to Increase the food suply have resulted in an addition of over 35,000 acres of | land to the area under cultivation . In structions have been sent about the country advising farmers as to the means of utilizing their land and the ! growing of catch crops. Although Ireland has a flourishing 'linen trade in Belfast it does not, to any great extent, grow its own flax, and the Department has been endeavoring to remedy this. Early In August, 1914 the Department issued a memorandum ad vising flax-growers to save flax-seed for their sowing requirements the fol lowing Spring. The procuring of seed during the season of 1914-15 was at tended with considerable difficulties. Upon representations of the Department of Agriculture, facilities were obtained through the intervention of the Foreign Office for the export of seed from Rus sia and Holland to this country. Though these supplies helped the flax-growers, it was Insufficient to meet their full requirements. A society of flax- grow ers have been formed and arrangements have been made for the cultivation of the crop on a more extensive scale. f -N Pennsylvania Day —AT— Shadow Lawn LOW RATE EXCURSION —TO— I West End, N.

Is the largest sum ever di vided among the members of two clubs in any world's series. Sixty per cent, of It goes to the winners and forty per cent, to the lovers. If Boston wins the series, each of the 26 members of that club will receive $3,322.94 and each of the Brooklyns 1 12,715.41. If Brooklyn should win each of the 24 players of that club will pocket J4.073.10, which would 1 set a new record for the amount won by Individual players in any world's series. Should Boston lose the players of that club would re ceive $2,506.53 each. Although the attendance at the first four games this year has been nearly 3,000 less than last year, the receipts in 1916 were more than $33,00 higher than in 1915, the total for four days this year being $301,- 717. The best previous mark of four games was in the series between the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans in 1912 when the total receipts were $273,282. Yesterday's official figures were: Attendance 21,662 Total receipts $72,840.00 Players' share 39.333.00 Each club's share 13,111.20 Nat'l Commission's share 7,284.00 Four-Game Flgurrs Attendance 120,239 Total receipts $201,717.50 Players' share 162,927.45 Each club's share 54,309.17 Nat'l Commission's share 30,171.75 Standing of the ClultM W.

Y., Oct. 12.—Wilbert Robinson, the rotund Napoleon of Flatbush, contributed the big "break" yesterday. He' did it when he sent Rube Marquard to the mound in the fourth game of the annual big league joy ride, and it was "some break." The Rube's colleagues staked him to a two-run lead In the opening Inning, and he started out to make that lead look as small as possible. How well he succeeded is attested by the score— Boston 6, Brooklyn 2. It is generally admitted around the quiet corners of Brooklyn that Wilbert plucked a lemon when he sent Mar quard to the hill. Robinson did not corner the break market at Ebbets Field yesterday. His menials committed some fifty-six or fifty-seven varieties of breaks them selves, and most of them helped the Pox in their campaign for cash and glory.

Jelly's $ corner Baseball "bones" wrecked the Brook lyn team yesterday and were also re sponsible for the other defeats. How ever, lack of generalship was never more apparent on the part of Man ager Robinson than was in evidence yesterday. He Is now on record, along with Zack Wheat, as having been a big factor in preventing a tie-up of the series. It must be handed to Bill Carrlgan for having a team that keeps together. He has the goods and it is a question whether a team could be picked from other major league line-ups that would be able to trim Boston In a series of games. Oarrigan has the timely hit ters. fielders and the best staff of pitch ers In the business. With to-day's game at Boston the world's series may end. Fans have about concluded that there Is nothing to it but Boston. They are now ready to take tip fodtball, and there will be some exciting times between now and Thanksgiving Day. tlonal League hurlers, deserves special mention. It was Zack who precipi tated the break which halted the Robins' attack In the first Inning and prevented the Brooklyn campaigners from completely routing Leonard and his colleagues. With two runs scored In the first, and Cutsliaw on first and Wheat on third and one out. Cutshaw started for second, and when Carrlgan threw to Scott. Wheat scrambled for the plate. Just how foolish was the effort Is evi denced by the fact that Wheat was retired at third and not at the plate. He saw his mistake too late, and, in an effort to get back to the bag, was tagged for the second out. Mowrey I then fanned and the rally was over. Another break came in Brooklyn's half of the fourth and again Its attack was shattered. Cutshaw opened the Inning with a double, and Mowrey was franked to first. At this period of the game Boston was only two runs In the lead, and It was good billiards for Olson to lay down a sacrifice, trusting that the following two batters would bring the runners over. Olson failed. His attempt to sacrl- J fice resulted In a pop fly to Hoblitzell. ; Instead of being in the position where a single would score two runs and tie the score. Chief Myers, and Pfeffer. | who followed him, were confronted with the necessity of poling out a hit long enough to score a man from first. As a result they took their "healthys" and were easy outs.
