Mauk'Ci.T RIVATtt AMBBLAHCTO I'HU.M.I MONDAY EVENING, I PASS UP LARGE CASH INCOME I Football Teams Will Not Be Big Winners in Finance This Season Philadelphia, Sept. 10. —Haifa mil lion dollars that Harvard, Yale and Princeton could coax from the sport ing public's bottomless pocket will be left untouched this season. .In discounting varsity football for 1917 the Big Three have automatic ally left this cool half-million in cir culation tor the world's series or something else to get. Last year the Hlg Three, in playing schedules totaling fewer than thirty games, got $500,000 alone in football receipts. A lot of it went back to meet heavy gridiron expenses, but a lot more of it stayed right in the strongbox, waiting to make up the deficits registered by most of the other college sports. Money Is Gone Football is like the show business. Money that Is passed up at any given performance never comes back, so i ihe liali-million represents a ueaa ' loss. Meanwhile, with nothing com- ! ing in, certain rixed cnarges continue j to roll up at Cambridge, New Haven I and Princeton. The upkeep of the football plants ' and the salaries of the oltice forces ' go merrily on. The athletic treas- j uries pay the bills out of the surplus j that has been collected in previous \ plutocratic years. But by the time j Uie Big Three are ready to resume football lliere will doubtless be deli cits In all three treasuries. By the time football Is once more restored to good standing among all the colleges. Harvard, Yale and i Trinceton, in common with the other fellows, will have sizable deficits to make up. Separate Receipts They have always kepi athletic re ceipts and academic receipts sepa rate at these universities, possibly be cause the athletic Income looked more attractive than the tuition credit, so it is not allowable to draw on the general treasury to make up ! athletic losses. one good football season will therefore he required to put the Big Three on a Arm financial basis again; Just one seson. With the whole sit ution clarified in such easy fashion as that, it isn't to be wondered at that Harvard and Yale and Prince ton can afford to follow their judg ment and withdraw from varsity football this year. Bucknell Plays Gettsburg in This City November 17 Gettysburg, Sept. 10.—Johns Hop- | kins University has been scheduled j to play at Gettysburg Saturday Oc-1 tober 13. This game has just been j arranged to take the place of the! game with Susquehanna which was j cancelled. Even though ten of the football letter men of last year are in some branch of the government service the prospects for a good team are very bright At least four of the regulars of last year will return for a nucleus and the freshman class will i furnish a lot of good material. The following is the schedule: September 19—Open. October 6—Penn State at State. October 13—Johns Hopkins at Gettysburg. October 20 Swarthmore at Swarthmore.

As a result, Chicago! is now seven games ahead of Bos- j ton in the pennant race. The Cleveland players protested. Owens' ruling in the tenth inning when, with two men on bases and uone out, he called Graney out in a close play at third base. The game was delayed for ten minutes because of arguments. When the Cleveland players finally resumed play they hurled their gloves in the air and two or three of them rolled In the dirt to express their displeasure. After Pitcher Danforth, the first man up in Chicago's half of the tenth, struck out, Catcher O'Neill, of Cleveland, deliberately threw tho ball into center field, whereupon Owerts forfeited the game. The contest was played in a chill ing rain, which kept down the at tendance. Many Horses on Hand For Grand Circuit Events Syracuse, N. Y„ Sept. 10.—More than 250 horses are eligible to start in the five days' meeting of the Grand Circuit which opens to-day at the new track at the New York State Fair Grounds. The circuit to day was pronounced fast and better than the old track by horsemen.

HOUNI>-UPS Just as all is not gold that glitters, so all Is not cinch that clnchers — but it Is generally so. There have been a few historic September upsets, but as a rule the hall club reaching September with a fair lead has managed to wiggle Bafeiy through and reach the mainland without disaster. The most historic upset of them all was in 1908, when the Giants bad the pennant won, salted, bagged, cinched and put away—only to blfcw a set of important contests with the Reds and Phillies, then floundering in the depths. But if you care to look back over the chart you will find few, very few. September cave-Ins by the talent. Most of those expected to win early in. September have generally como through. Very, very few ball clubs have enjoyed a September lead of any proportion to fall back later on. inAo Th S re ha , ve been no vivid September upsets that we can recall since 1908. So, unless there is an explosion of unprecedented bulk, the Giants and White Sox will be the people. DIAMOND FREAKS Sir: Seeing that you have been cataloguing diamond freaks, consider v! April 29, 1907, in a game at the Polo Grounds between the Giants and Boston, the Giants received four passes, stole five bases and Boston made aji error, all in one inning—yet the Giants scored but one run out of the ten bases gained. How? Shannon was out on a ground ball. Strang walked, but Devlin flied to third. Strang stole and on a bad throw by the catcher went to third. Seymour walked, and with Strang executed a double steal, Strang scoring. Bresnahan walked, and he, with Seymour, executed an?other double steal. McCann walked and then—Bad Bill Dahlen fanned. RICHARD MANEY. TOO GOOD FOR HIS OWN GOOD It Isn't often in any walk of life that man is too good at his chosen pro fession for his own good. For at least two years the Athletics were too good for their own good, financially, at least. Mack built up a ball club sp good that it cost him thousands of dollars—first by breaking up interest in his own league around July and then by ending most of his world series at an early stage. But the leading Too Good example is Jess Willard. Willard's mighty margin above all heavyweight competition has cost him at least S2OO 000. 'He has fought but one ten-round battle in over two years—in the main, because there was no one around figured within ten leagues of his class If he had been just a trifle smaller and just a trifle less efficient he might have easily secured on,e or two big paying contests each vear, and in this way he could have added heavily to his income, to say nothing of securing additional advertising lor his circus. As it Is, there is no competition in sight for him. Morris is a joke and Fulton is too far away to carry any sort of show. If Jess feels the urgent call for an engagement his only chance seems to be with one of the husky pachyderms in his 200.

Last Saturday was the first Satur day it rained during the summer and kept many players from enjoying the game at Reservoir, as this is the big day at the park. Altogether the golfers have no reason to complain about the weather, as very f®w days were lost on account of rain during the year. A Bogey tournament started at Reservoir on Saturday. September 8, and will run until September 29. This will be a nine-hole mutch tour nament, with each player allowed three-fourths of his club handicap. A player can play as many cards during this time as he chooses, on the payment of two cards for twenty five cents or ten for one dollar. Suit able prizes will be awarded the winners. | A big crowd tyrned out on Labor Hay for the Tombstone tournament at Reservoir and most of them put ir. a big day. Many of the players went thirty-six holes or better and were loath to quit when darkness compelled them to stop. Several of the members at Reser voir enjoyed one of Skinny's famous ham and egg dinners on Labor Day, while quite a few other members carried their lunches with them and had time to have quite a "fanning bee" between the matches.

ARMY OUT FOR ' FIRST PRACTICE One Hundred and Fifty Men Report to Captain Jeff Key.- West Point, N. Y„ Sept. 10. —Tho Army began its preparations for foot ball In earnest Saturday, when Cap tain Jeff Keyes, head coacK, mar shaled his forces and went through two ferills on Plains gridiron. One hundred and fifty men turned out for the team. While the squad is not so large as in former years, the ma terial looked good, and it is expected that the soldiers will be worthily represented on the chalk marked playground when the opening whistle blows oil September 29. Oliphant, Shrader, Knight, Niles, Pulsifer, Stokes, Murrlll, Wicks, March and Rundell were among the members of last year's squad who turned out. YUlal Out Soon "Gene" Vidal, star halfback, will come out shortly for the team. "Bull" Vandegraf, former star tackle at University of Alabama; Post, a promising quarterbacK, who played a year ago, and ' Domlney, end sn Holy Cross eleven last year, were among the new men in the "plebe" class who turned out. A tentative schedule announced unofficially gives the Army's open date on Septemher 29 to Holy Cross, although the schedule makers have not finally closed with any teams as yet. The management Is having no trouble in securing opponents and the full schedule will probably be announced thi3 week. „ . ORPHEUM To-day, Tuesday and Wednesday, with daily matinees—"The Crisis."

This play was the first of war atmosphere to be produced in the English metropolis, is the work of Lechmere Worrall and J. K.

One of the most delightful head liners of the season is booked to ap- pear at the Majestic the At the first three days of this Mnjvntlc week. Emmett Devoy will present his dramatic fan tasy, "The Call of Childhood," in which seven talented people take part. Some clever juveniles are introduced during the course of the act. and they are said to handle their parts with an ease that is astonishing. Grouped around this playlet are Lerner and Ward, a clever duo in a novel singing skit; Jimmy Lucas and Company, pre senting a hodge-podge of nonsense; Albert Rouget and Girlie, sensational hand balancers, and one other attrac tion. The many admirers of William S. Hart will be given an opportunity to see their favorite William S. Hurt to-day and to-mor at the Colonial row in his latest play, "Wolf Lowry." Perhaps the most unusual part about this picture is that this actor's fam ous firearms are drawn only once, and then with chivalrous intent. In this production Hart plays a part that is so different from his previous por trayals that it will reveal to bis ad mirers subtle traits of characteriza tion that will come as a surprise to those who think they are familiar with every phase of his art. A splen did supporting cast, including dainty Margery Wilson, was engaged for this Thomas H. Ince production. George Fawcett and Bessie Eyton in "The Crisis" After all, the person who is hardest to please in' the plcturizatlon of a popular novel is the author of the original story. It is particularly worthy of note, therefore, that Win ston Churchill stated, after viewing the initial presentation of "The Crisis ' on the picture screen —it is a ten-reel production—that ho had at last had the groat pleasure of seeing the chil dren of his brain depicted in flesh and blood Just as he had visualized them when he wrote the book. "The Cylsis commenced a three-day engagement at the Orplieum to-day. It has proven a great success there because the drama comes at a psycho logical moment when patriotism and loyalty to one's Hag are the principal topics of the day. As a picture "The Crisis" will appeal to those who have not only read Winston Churchill's book, but to the vast mass of play goers as well. SEPTEMBER 10,1017, WELLY'S Jf CORNER Rain put a crimp in the final base ball games scheduled for Saturday. Indications are that there will be no more games. Managers of the Fire men and Enginenien and Midway A. C., are anxious to keep going as long as weather permits and may play games on West End field. The Army football squad is at work and with quite a number of stars in tho line-up. The gridiron game will not be slow after all. Local teams get into the running to-day and it looks like a very good season. Bob Shawkey has received word from the war office that he has been exempted from military duty because of dependant*. Shawkey, the former Mackman, is the fourth member of the Yankees to receive such a mes sage. Hendrix, and Miller had been exempted previously.

The world of sport has a new Durable Dane, and his name is Christian Christensen, a Chicago athlete, who appears to be the most versatile athlete yet to perform in these parts, parts. Christensen excels in long distance running, and a few days ago startled the sporting world by running one mile, riding a bicycle one mile, walk ing one mile, rowing a boat one mile and swimming a mile, in the remark able time, of 54:46 2-a. He an nounced he could accomplish this feat in less than an hour, and he succeeded. Christensen's time in the one mile bike event was 3:17 2-5. He hopped right off the bike and ran a'mlle In 5:33 3-5. Then he started on his one-mile hike and finished In 9:25 1-5.
