It began under depressing con- alitions, for the results of those two s up at Boston were almost as ling to the fans as were the which passed over Ebbets eld and which had a tingle in them if they had passed by a few ice aults in the outlying districts on heir way.

Tufts has a fine football machine, a Tuft team to beat you might say, if you cared to indulge in any frivolity, but the fact that even a good Tufts eleven can overthrow a Harvard team is a bit significant. Which is to say that it comes as an early hint that afier a four-year relgn Harvard su- premacy be on the verge of skidding a bit. 1915 and 1916, Last fall Harvard fell before Cor- rell. But the big Red team from Ithaca stood as ome of the great tcams of the year—one of the greaf, if not the greatest. And that was Harvard's only setback. 1916, however, will hardly have the same story to tell. Harvard has al- ready been nipped once, and the season is barely under way, with the hardest part, if not the Tuftest part, of | last. | since Princeton beat him and | star to act as a threat and backfield runner, | frantically 1 It | than the even money offered that the | reached that point wh with | | eke to the bitter because | were those the | the schedule still beyond. It 8 hardly likely then that Harvard will be able to go the rest of the way unbeaten. Princeton will enter the Stadium with cne of the strongest Tiger teams in vears, and when Harvard reaches the Yale bowl, late in November, she will find a Blue array out to avenge four years of anguish and defeat. The Shifting Tide. It may be passible that Harvard has not yet reached the shifting tide that €ach cleven must know, Fach man’s reign in sport only so long. At the appolnted moment the reaction sits in and the jolt lands with a thud. Haughton has been the master of his game for at least four years—ever Yale tied him, five years ago. But as great a coach as Haughton was anad is, it niust also be réemembered that for 1916 no Brickleys, Hardwlcks or ahan's are romping around in crim- n harness. There is good backfield aterial at Harvard, but no one great a reality te carry the ball and to threaten an attack as a protection for another | By next fall, when | PORT LIGHT Grantland Rice Haughton will have the chance to develop some of his young men, he may have another 1914 or 1915 back- | field, but he will have to work twenty- seven hours a day to erect such a combination within the next month and get ready for Cornell, Princeton and Yale. The Other Three, These three—Cornell, Princeton and Yale—are all set to take a shot at Harvard in turn. Cornell and Prince- ton both have fine chaces to win. Yale’s strength can hardly be de- termined naw, although the Blue machine is pretty sure to be better than any elidom has known for four seasons. win two of these three games, but a decided change will have to come for the prospect now is that one of three will be the Crimson limit. Cornell and Princeton both have speed and power, enough material to insure strength. And if Yale continues the clip she started Saturday Colonel Haughton will face one of the busiest little campaigns he has ever kown. The Up and Down. After all, Harvard is about due for & slump; the wonderful average that she has maintained since 1911 could hardly be carried on indefinitely. She has earned her right to one off year, even if this off year should bring defeat in every big game, which i3 no part of a safe gamble, You may recall the old saying, “As this ol’ world goes roun’ and roun’ some go up and same go down.” Harvard has been up a long time; as supremcy exists in sport, her time on the losing side has to come; but even if she slips, it is hardly likely that the slump will last for over one season. If Haughton is unable to re- build this year, the young material he has on hand should be ripe enough to get up and go somewhere by an- other fall. The renowned Rube drops from ane world series town into another. So far he hasn’t decided on his next shift, The same goes for the Hon. J. W. Coombs. Jack has been tossed into so many world’s series that he now finds it difficult to stifle a yawn as the jubilee approaches. the Red Sox would win. When the | score was 4 to 2 aginst the Sox at the end of the sixth inning, and things did look shaky for Brooklyn from their viewpoint, these Royal Rooters yelled that they would bet as high as 6 to 5 on the Red Sox. Brook- 1y tes did not accept the chance in very large numbers. It was not a betting crowd that was over in their vielnity. But there was a P:H‘QL of New Yorkers who went over to Kbbets Field vesterday filled with confidence in the Red Sox who found things different. knew where to find Brooklyn men who had money and a disposition to bet it. All la evening the Brooklyn men were there trying to get better Brooklyns would win today’s game. At the same time the odds were 11 to Brooklyn to win the series. Brooklyn men as a rule were holding out for 3 to 1, and failed to get it. Brooklyn fandom’s enthusiasm h makes it a blood relation to the wildness at that voint in the third inning when a hit by Cutshaw brought Daubert across the plate with the first run. Tin horns, cowbells, police whistles, and other in- ventions for making noises combined in an sounds which so filled the atmosphere for miles around with wave sounds as to put wireless telegraphy in Brooklyn out of busine: It must have easily caried the news of a run scored by Brooklyn to the farmers of New Utrecht, Flatlands and Graoesend, and few persons on duty in Borough Hall. Tt was the first run in a world’s series that most of the fans had ever seen scored, and they were glad to let the whole world know that they fully aprroved of that sort of thing and were ready for more. Fans Go Wild In Fourth. When Olson brought home another run in ihe fourth, and then supple- mented it by sending Wheat and Mowrey home in the next inning with a whacking three-baser, fandom cut Receipts and First C Brooklyn, 5 Second ( Brooklyn, 1.

The fans danced up and down, shouted until there was not an- other bit of noise left in their vocal organs, and all rings previously regis- tered by the well-known welkin were as dead silences in comparison. It was as if all Brooklyn had joined in a paen of jov over the discovery of a new and imperishable source of hap- piness. It was the ultimate limit of ecstacy. When the ninth inning had ended the fans poured into the fleld, surged over to the dugout where the Brooklyn players were assembled, indulged in silent idolatry of Robinson’s bunch of players for a couple of minutes, and then wore themselves to a frazzle in a frenzied parade and snake dance, led by the Brooklyn band and two young enthusiasts bearing aloft the great green banner with its baseball em- blazonment which is the gonfalon of the Brooklyn club and Charles H. Eb- bets. Worn out with their ebullitions, a thoroughly tried and incomparably happy bunch of a couple of thousand of fifty-nine degree fans finally tore themselves from the field of victory and went to their homes to dream of the victory that is, the one that may be today with Marquard pitching, and of the world's series pennant they be- lieve may yet float from the staff of the Ebbets Field grounds. RANGERS TROUNCED Tive Oaks Now in Command of City League Leadership—-Pastimes Emu- late Dodgers by Coming Back. The three-cornered tie in the City bowling league was broken last even- ing when the Live Oaks defeated the Rangers three straight thereby gain- ing the leadership in the league and sending the east end boys back to third place. The victors were in su- perb form last evening and “Butch” Hornkohl and his mates although fighting hard were outclassed. Lan- tone and Richter were the stars of the match, the former securing three figured scores in each game while Richter fell below this number in one frame. Kahms of the losers was high score man of the match with 113! The temperamental Pastime quintet succeeded in breaking into the win column, beating the Harpoons twice.

Malamey Quality First After Nov. 30, it will cost you just $70 more- to buy a 7-22 Chalmers. But the price on the 5-passenger 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers re- mains (for the time being) $1090 Detroit Until midnight of Nov. 30 you can get a 7-22 Chalmers for $1280 Detroit—a car of rare ability, fascinating in body equipment, and, like a beautiful woman, of exquisite charm. After that date the price becomes $1350 Detroit—$70 more. The $70 is just a few dollars less than the increase in cost of manufacture of this car since its appearance in June. To those who have longed for the 5-passenger 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers—and have not yet possessed one, just a word of warning: the price remains unchanged just now—$1090 Detroit; we do not know how long this low price will continue. We reserve the right to increase the price without notice. Only those who are buying materials such as go into high-grade automobiles can begin to realize the steady, upward trend of the materials market. Just one condition today prevents a rise in price of the 5-passenger 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers—the fact that these cars are being made on a factory “work order” dating back several months. - Since the “work order” went through materials have jumped in cost in. When the current “work order” is completed and if materials remain at their present level or rise higher, only one course will be possible, an increased price, Those who have been driving Chalmers cars know how diligent has been the Chalmers effort to set down cars of the quality kind. They will understand how impossible it would be for Chalmers to dodge the increase-in-materials issue and maintain the prevailing price on the 7-22 Clm%:lers. Lower the quality of the Chalmers car? Never. The Chalmers men take great pride, not only in the money the car makes for them, but in the car itself. And pride, as everyone knows, is a thing that can never be compromised. It would be like Tissot trying to paint a picture to fit a price. As long as there’s a name “Chalmers”, there will be a quality car, and as long as there’s a quality car there’ll be a price fixed—not by the Sales Department—but by cost accountants. And there’ll be a fair deal. Chalmers says these iwo 3400 r. p. m. models will be continued into next season. You can bank on that. So that a Chalmers. car you might buy now will be exactly like the one you would buy next spring. : Remember the $70 you can save now by anticipating the rise in price. There’s an old Scotch proverb that says “A dollar saved is a dollar earned”. $70 buys a good suit of clothes, a good pair of shoes, a good hat and some good gloves. Also it just about pays your dues at the club for a year. Or, if it’s a 5-passenger 3400 r. p.m. Chalmers you want, our advice is to get one now. We are not sure the price is going up and we are not sure that it isn’t.

Feltman has talked of buying the club in a general way with Charles H. Ebbets, and has been told ut what price he can buy the club from Ebbets and his partners, Edward and Stephen McKeever. The pros- pective sale was discussed by Felt- man and Ebbets in Boston during the | past few days, where the two men met while attending the world’s series. It was reported that Feltman had made a definite offer, but this was denied by Mr. Ebbets yesterday. 95 89 96 | | | | 472—1390 83 87 91 95 100 456 84— 2 94— 90— 84— 87— 439—1358 Team No. 4. 89 66 83 eee. 91 e 329 Team No. 7% 15 . 69 232 99— 271 93— 238 95— 258 93— DILLON SCORES KNOCKOU New York, Oct. 11.—Jack Dillon, the Hoosier ‘“bearcat,” last night at the Broadway Sporting club of Brook- lyn demonstrated that, besides de- feating men much heavier than him- self, he will not tolerate any fami- ¢ | liarity from boxers of considerable reputation, essayed to oppose the 380—1037 FATI 9 Sensible Cigarette,
