Moreover those who were ready to count the Crimson out of the big games, because of the defeat in the game with Tufts, are now rather in- clined to regard the 1916 gridiron situation differently since it took the best the Tiger team had to send the Medford team back home, losers by he frail margin. of a field goal. The one thing that can be learned from the results of the Eastern games on Saturday lIs that the situation is so open that it is impossible to pre- dict at this time which of the biz elevens will come out on top of the heap. Yale, playing against Lehigh, a team that held the Blue to & 7 to 6 score a year ago, had the stisfactioa of protecting its own goal line and clinching the game with two touch- downs. That was as good as ex- pected, if not as good as hoped for 5v the sons of Old Ell. The only team in the big group that showed posi- tive weakness was Pennsylvania, and it is evident from the outcome of tho contest with Swarthmore that some- thing is radically wrong with Bob Fol- well's pupils. Before this gama, Swarthmore was considered weak, yet by the use of the deadly forward pass, the Garnet was able to score a touch- down and keep its own goal line In- tact from the assault of the Red and Blue. If the big fellows are due for more reverses this season, except in their own set, it appears that they may be brought about by the medium of either Cornell or Dartmouth. Both of these teams showed great offensive power. Cornell muking 42 points against Willlams and Dartmouth burying the Massachusetts Aggles un- der the score of 62 to 0. Eli Line May Be Altered. W Haven, Oct. 16.—No injurios which will keep a single Yale player out of the game next Friday with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute were received Saturday against Lehigh. Traver Smith, quarterback, recelved will returr to .practice in a day or He has won a clear title to his position through brilliant fleld gener- alship, and his work Saturday easily eclipsed that of Chenoweth, the Le- high quarterback, In preparation for the game Friday, only a single change is contemplated by the Yale coaches. Charley Tafz, it is felt, will prove a more valuable player at tackle than at center, and he will this week go back to that po- sition as first substitute. Tt is ex- the Willlams game, though they think that the men are still rather slow. Some of them seemed a bit tired yes- terday, due, it ls believed to the fact that they have been drivert very hara since the belated opening of practice. Dr. Sharpe does not think tha Wil- lams was quite as shifty as a vear ago, but the forward passing game tried by the New Englanders was 8004 experience for the Cornell team. REVENGE IS SWEET Reliable Mr. Lynch Shows Torrington Something in the Art of Pitching and Pioneers Win. The 1916 season of the Pioneers is at an end. The boys from the South End retrieved themselves yesterday for one of the few defeats of the past season, when Torrington who con- quered the home team in their own bailiwick a few weeks ago, was sent back to the hills of Litchfield smart- ing under a 11 to 5 defeat. The game Wwas not a good contest, the inability of the visitors infleld to hold the ball at critical times proving a great bar- rier to pitchers Faith and Smedick, a total of eleven bungles being chalked up against the Torrington outfit, Mil- ler and B. Hoystardt being the worst offenders with four misplays each. There has been many games started at the Ellis street grounds which looked more encouraging for the home lads than that of yesterday, when the visitors layed on the offerings of Nutting scoring four runs and forc- ing the “near hurler” of the locals off the mound. The change was certain- ly a wise one for the Ploneers, for Lynch who assigned to the hurling task toyed with the out-of-town boys for the remainder of the game allow- ing them but one lone tally and two hits. Sixteen batsmen struck valiant- ly at the ozone before retiring to the players bench. Faith who started on the mound for Torrington retired in the third inning after the home team forged to the front, and was succeeded by Smedick. The latter met with more success than his predecessor, allowing the locals but one tally. Clancey lead at the bat for the victors securing a pair of singles and two sacrifice Holden played a fine game in the field and at the bat for the visitors. Conklin contributed the flelding fea- ture with a running catch. The score: Pioneers ab. Goeb, rf Clancey, 3b Noonan, ¢ ... Blinn, cf ... Lynch, 1b-p Dudack, 1f .. Kahms, 2b Welch, ss ...

About Time for a Shift. Compare the Robin% and the Browns—pennant winners in one league and fifth placers in the other. Catching departments were about the same.

This season, in four major league cties, there were fourteen post- battles. Of the fourteen, the lost These figures that admit of no debate, They are not matters of opinion.

In such a selection no man could leave off Speaker, Cothb, Schalk, Collins, Johnson, Ruth, Sisler __the bulk of the team. There are many who also added Gardner, Scott and Lewis. The best the National league could get would be about one- third. Leaving the figures aside, we talked with one or two ball players who served time in both circuits.

Tigers Take No Credit. Princeton, N, J., Oct. 16.—Although the Princeton eleven was able to gain 2 3 to 0 victory in the contest wit Tufts Saturday, there is little satl faction in the Tiger football camp. Head Coach Speedy Rush was dis- appointed with the showing, and he did not mince words in telling them 80. The tendency toward frequent fumbling and the inability of the r gers to play hard football when a few yards meant a touchdown are the reasons for the dissatisfaction. Rush has not allowed a day to pass since the first practice at Camp Minnewaska that he has not given | the players a great deal of practice in handling the ball. Yet fumbles were alarmingly copious and ruined whatever chances the Tigers had of crossing Tuft's goal line. That the visitors had an unusually strong team not denied here, but the general feeling is that Princton should have made at least two touchdowns. Brown’s fumble In the first few minutes of play after Princeton had rushed the ball down the field thirty vards to within eight yards of the Tufts goal line seemed to have its peychological effect on the playexys. They fumbled consistently after that on inopportune occasions, The players emerged from the con- test without any injuries aside from a few slight bruises, Cornell Coach Satisfied. Ithaca, N.

Grand Circuit Meeting Begins Today on Atlanta Course. Atlanta, Oct. 16.—A six-day Grand Circuit meeting will begin here today on a newly constructed track at the plant of the Southeastern Fair as- soclation. Many of the horses that have been racing on southern and eastern tracks the last few weeks have been sent here for the first Grand Cir- cuit meeting held south of Kcntucky in a number of year: The principal events the week are the Coca Cola cup, $1,5600; the Piedmont Hotel cup, $2,000, and the Georgia Railway and Power cup, $2,- 500.

Cleveland, Oct. 16.—The Cleveland Indians won by 14 to 6 over the Pit- cairn football team of Pittsburgh yes- | terday. Quarterback Willlamson made a sensational fifty-yard run for | a touchdown in the last perlod. The Red Sox‘ for the greater part of the last ever since the Cubs began to subside. But the gap was wider in 1916 than it has ever been before. No one who saw Boston and Brooklyn play the recent series could figure the two clubs within a league of the same class, Boston had so much the better of it, and this without any great extra effort, that the competition most the way was pitiful. You might sug- gest that Boston won the first two games by only one run each. But ask any one Who saw that first 6 to § contest how the two clubs looked. The Trouble Being What? What is the trouble? Is the Ameri- can league paying out more money for stars Is the younger circuit more alert in the search for budding talent? The answer is “Yes” in both cases. addition to this, the American league, with °~ a twenty-five-player limit, has a big advantage over the National, where only twenty-one are used. ahead seven year: In The Red Sox Future. Boston won a pennant and a cham- pionship last season with Speaker in center field, Jack Barry at second and George Foster pitching star ball These three were regarded as the mainstays of the club. This fall Bos- ton went into a pennant campaign and a world series campaign with Speaker, Barry and Foster missing or of no use. And Boston looked fully as strong without the three as she looked when they were around. For next year on the Boston club, Shore, Ruth and Leonard are all young men. They have been stars for only two vears. They should just be Around the Infleld Scott and still have several years ahead, while Lewls and Hooper, al- thaugh veterans, are far from being ready for the D. and O. Ileague. Figure out this Red Sox club as it looked against Brooklyn, with Jack Barry back and one or two young finds tossed in.
