' Pniladelphia, Pa, Oct. 4.—The Penn football team overwhelmed Al- bright college vesterday afternoon on r. i i E i Franklin fleld in their opening con- | R test of the 'season by a score af 73 | 4 to 10. The Red and Blue displayed & formidable attack and a stone wall defence which was surprising, as only five regulars were in the initial lineup which started the battle agaiinst f Coach Kelshner's squad, and the .eleven had worked together only four days under the personal direction of M Coach “Bob” Falwell. The boys m Mayerstown were no match for Em Penn team. Penn blocked kicks, Tecovered fumbles, intercepted for- ‘ward passes and did almost everything b0 discourage the visitors attempting ‘to thwart their efforts. The game Wwas a good practice contest for the first string men as well as the sub- stitutes in preparation for the sec- ond battle of the season with Georgia Mech this Saturady at Atlantic, Ga. Only when a flock of spbstitutes were sent int® the game by Coach Folwell did Albright show any sem- blance of real football tactics. Al- bright's men were game throughout and they fought hard, although hope- lessly outclassed. It was in the sec- ond and fourth periods that Albright f took advantage of the misplays by the flock of Penn's second string men and scored ten points.

Windish sent the hopes of the New Britain rooters skyward when he finished the third game with a score of 135. Lofgren also turned in a fine score, but Thompson and Kahms fell slightly behind. Maloney and Lathrop put the skids under the ! locals when they hit the wood for | scores of 124 and 116 respectively.E and with them went the game.

Last night they were banquetted by the Wood- land \Bards, an organization com- posed of Mr. Comiskey’s friends. Cov- ers for 1,500 persons were laid. Manager Rowland of the Chicago club announced last night -that hej would extend an invitation to Man- ager McGraw of the Giants to use the ‘White Sox field for practice on Fri- day any time the club desires. “If my team is on the fleld and Mc- Graw wants to use it I'll call the play- ers off,” Rowland said. “There will be no repetition of the 1914 series, when George Stallings, manager of the Boston club, raised a protest be- cause of the alleged turndown he re- ceived from Manager Mack of Phil- adelphia over the use of the Athletics’ field for practice.” PLAY SCORELESS TIE. Niantic, Oct, 4.—The best football game of the season was staged here vesterday when Machine Company A of New Haven and Company B of Hartford battled to a scoreless tie. Red Quinn, the former Glee club star, played a halfback position for the New Haveners and was responsible for many of the gains made by his team.

Y., Oct. 4.—There was plenty of football at West Point yesterday. Aside from the big mid- week drill of the varsity and scrub in their preparation for the opening game with Carnegie Tech on Satur- day, the Army’s Cullum hall squad took on two visiting elevens for regu- lar games. The eleven is made up of new cadets and others of the bat- talion who have not yet shown enough proficiency to entitle them to enter into the big squad. The Army's “‘cubs” won both games, defeating Yonkers High school in the first game, 6 to 0, and Erasmus Hall High school, of Brooklyn, in the other, 7 to 0. The varsity mauled the scrub for an hour’s session. Oliphant, McQuar- rie, the Montana star, and Vande- graff starred in the scrimmage work, which netted the big team three touchdowns. The grandstands are in position, and the cadets areaall ready for the “blowoff” with the Carnegie Tech team, which is coming here for the first time on Saturday. for CORNELL LOSES STAR. Davies From Playing on Account of Eyes. Ithaca, Oct. 4.—Cornell suffered the first football loss of the year when it was announced by the university medical authorities that Davies, one of the most promising candidates out for a backfield job, would not be al- lowed to continue his university or gridiron activities for the rest of this term on account of his physical con- dition. Davies is a powerful player, fast and aggressive, and the coaches were counting on his ground-gaining abil- ity. His eyes gave way last spring and he was forced to leave college, but returned this year, expecting to be able to study as usuali A medi- cal examination proved otherwise, however, and after a week's work with the Cornell eleven he has been forced to leave college again. MAXWELL WINS TITLE. Detroit, Mich.,, Oct. 4—The Max- well baseball club of Detroit, which won the national championship of the Amateur Baseball Association here last Sunday, has decided to challenge the White Auto team of Cleveland, world’s amateur title, it was an- ‘nounced yesterday. The White Autos won the national championship of the Amateur Baseball Federation. FORLD’S SERIES. ' All Reserved Seats For First Game Are Distributed Today. Chicago, Oct. 4.—Most of the 17,- 000 reserved seats for the World's se- ries game at White Sox park were dis- tributed today. A record of each ticket sold has been kept, and with this the club officials hope to stamp out ticket scalping. Scalpers who up to today have been advertising that they would have plenty of tickets, appeared to have lost some of their confidence, and re- fused to guarantee tickets for any of the games here. That detectives have been investi- gating applicants for tickets became known today when it was announced that 159 persos who had been notified to call for their tickets, would find that their reservations had been can- celled and that it would be impossible for them to see the game in a re- ‘served seat. ! The White Sox, after a day of idle- ness yesterday on account of rain, are ! booked for two days of stiff practice. | THEY WANT TO KNOW. Milions in the Trenches Wondering Why They Are Fighting. Amsterdam, Oct. 4.—Budapest dis- patches reecived here say that at a dinner by the Hungarian Premier, Dr. Alexander Wekerle, in honor of Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian ‘minister of foreign affairs, the latter, in reply to an invitation to make a statement concerning his peace policy, said: “To Talleyrand has been nscrlbed the saying that words are given to conceal thought. It may be that this saying wag true for the diplomacy of his century. But for the present time I hardly can conceive a phrase less accurate. “The millions who are fighting in the trenches or behind the lines wish to know why and for what they are ! fighting. They have a right to learn why peace, which the entire world desires, has not yet come. When I was appointed to my post I utilized the first opportunity openly to declare |.that we did not want to oppress any one, but that on the other hand we would not suffer any oppression, and that we were prepared to enter upon peace negotiations as soon as our enemies accepted the standpoint of peace by agreement.” Count Czernin said a plain state. ment of aims was indispensable. He explained the conversion of the Cen- tral Powers to the doctrine of dis- armament by declaring that arma- ments were necessary until the worla was convinced that Austria-Hungary was not a dying state, subject to dls«‘ memberment. JAGOBSON MAY PLAY All-Stars’ Management Angling For Services of Crack Outfielder of Tor- onto Pennant Winners For Sunday’s Game. Merwin Jacobson, star outfielder of the Toronto International league team, winners of the pennant in that circuit, may be see in an All-Stars uniform next Sunday afternoon in the game against the Ploneers. Overtures have been made by Managers Lynch and Naughton of the Stars for the services of the local crack, and he is now con- sidering the matter. With a player of Jacobson’s calibre in the lineup, the stock of the All-Stars will take a big boost. It was on the Ellis streeet diamond that Jake paved the way for his advent into faster company. He has been recalled by the Chicago Cubs of the National league, from which club Larry Lajoie secured- him for the Maple Leafs for the past sea- son. KEEP RIGHT ON. Germans to Continue to Make Bombs for Women and Children. Amsterdam, Oct. 4.—Fears that Germany might possibly be unable to continue fighting owing to the lack of raw materials have been answered by Major Gen. Schuech, the new min- ister of munitions, who, according to a despatch from Berlin says: “Regarding the supply of raw ma- terials, particularly those required for the manufacture of guns and muni- tions, we are not dependent solely on the stock in hand, which, inore- | over, would be insufficient. We ha\'P[ to produce them and this Droductlon is proceeding satisfactorily.” Gen. Schueck admitted that pro- duction was interrupted temporarily last year because of transport diffi- culties. Although these seem to have been overcome the minister of muni- tions expects a probable recurrence the coming winter. BUILT A TEMPLE. { Buddhism Installed in Peru by Priest of Sect of Sodo. Tokio, Oct. 4—Rev. Taian Uyeno, of the Buddhist sect of Sodo, has re- turned to Japan from Peru after building in that country the first Jap- anese temple in South America. The priest went to Peru in 1903 with 1,000 Japanese emigrants with instructions to propagate Buddhism. After great hardships, working first as a laborer and then as a maker of confectionery, Uyeno slowly amassed enough money to construct a temple which he called ‘“Jionji” or “Great Mercy.” Later he founded a primary school for the education of the chil- dren of the emigrants. The priest says that when he was ‘building the temple he was persecut- .ed by Peruvians, and that attempts were made to burn both temple and school. The relations between the Japanese emigrants and the native people have, however, now become peaceful and friendly. MINE LOSSES. Rome, Oct. 4.—Itallan shipping losses by mines or submarines for the week ending September 30, in all seas, were two sailing vessels of more than 1,600 tons and three sailing ves- sels of less than 1,600 tons.
