However, jtomorrow evening they will stack up nst a worthy opponent in the Col- onlals, who with the Harpoons, are battling for second place. If the for- tunes of bowlipg continue with the leaders as in the past games, there should be no change in the standing as far as first place is concerned. An- other interesting match scheduled for tomorrow evening is the Annex and the Mohawks. Both quintets are on even terms at present. Joe Foote, by his remarkable ex- hibition last week has jumped into the lead for league honors with high single score and also for the high three-string total. When Joe pound- ed the maples for 151 in a single game and totaled 383 for a match he blaced figures at the Aetna alleys that that look good to remain high for a llong time.

LATENT POWER_GOUNTS Whitc Sox Prove This in Brilliant Drive That Game From Trenches of Defcat Saturday. Latent power will tell. The White Sox proved that in rather striking fashion In their brilliant victory over the Giants Saturday afternoon. For two games their batting fire had been kept from advancing beyond the smoldering stage by super-effective New York pitching. Saturday, under the stress of dire necessity, that fire broke out into a veritable conflagra- tion and swept Slim Sallee and the rest of the Giant machine before it like so much chaff. After Reb Russell's wretched start and poor flelding had given the New York team a commanding lead the White Sox, with their back to the wall, had to organize an attack of brutal force. They had done it re- peatedly through their American League campaign, and they felt they could do it again. They did. The Sox have been famous this sea- son for their ability to come back when things looked blackest. In their last serles with Cleveland the Indians belted one or two Chicago pitchers off the mound each day, but terrific slugging by the Sox enabled them to clean up on the series. Sat- urday’s game was just such an affair. The punch of the Sox batting order— Eddie Collins, Jackson and Felsch— got started, and their slams covered a multitude of their team’s fielding sins. The Glants displayed a remarkable form reversal in their games in New York when after appearing on the run they dazzled the Sox by evening the series with two shutout victories. However, even that comeback did not approach the comeback of the Sox on Drags LWherl a Feller Needs a Fried - - - - - - By Briggs‘ MY CONSCIENCE 'S CLEAR- Ve BOUGHT A FEwW BONDS FoR A RAINY — D N "DONALD STARS Olympic Shot Put Champion Success- fully Defends Title Against Classy Field of Competitors. Saturday. New York, Oct. 15.—Pat J. McDon- ald, the world and Olympic shotput champion, successfully defended his honors as all-around weight star of the local district in a special compe- tition held at the Irish Federation of the United States games held at Celtic Park, Long Island City, yesterday. The big boliceman was opposed by Pat Ryan and Matt J. McGrath, also title holders, among other contestants, but emerged with flying ¢olors with 4 points to his credit. Ryan was sec- ond with 5, Jack Conway, a Celt ath- lete, third, with 10. and Pat O'Connor, unattached, fourth. McGrath com- peted in the 16-pound and 56-pound weight contests, but as he fouled in all of his six chances he failed to galn a point. GIRL HARRIERS NOW. Penn State College to Stage Two Mile Run For the Fair Stx. State College, Pa., Oct. 15.—Girls of the sophomore and freshman classes at the Pennsylvania State College are : to meet in a cross-country run. The coeds will cover a two mile course over hill and dale, selected by C. W. Martin, the Penn State varsity track team coach. A permanent trophy has been offered for the contest. The. name of the girl winning the race and her time will be engraved on the sil- ver cup as well as the numerals of the victorious class. No limit has been placed on the number of entries, but only the first ' twenty of each team to finish will | count in the scoring. With the meet ! fixed for October 27 the candidates for the interclass contest are training daily for the event. ELM CITY TEAM BEATEN. Bridgeport, Oct. 15.—The Winches- ter eleven of New Haven suffered a 14 to 0 defeat at the hands of the American Chain company representa- tive here yesterday. The Chain com- pany outplayed the visitors through- out, showing to best advantage near the close of the game when they scored thelr second touchdown.

New York, 15.—Those Oct. who {have been blaming Harry Sallee and John McGraw for the eleventh hour overthrow of the Giants in Chicago on Saturday will have to revise their “’goat” list. With the return of the New York players to this city last night it developed that the blame, as they see it, rests with Robertson— the very Davey who made three more hits off Cicotte and was the hitting hero of the Giants. Some of the players declared that Chick Gandil's fly which went for a two base hit in the seventh inning should have been caught easily by Robertson. 1If Gandil's fly had been gathered in no runs would have been tied in that inning and the game would have had an entirely different complexion. To those up in the press stand it looked as if Gandil's offering was a pretty hard drive, but it is true that Robertson was not very spry in playing the ball. He got started late. The players were disinclined to talk about the defeat or to censure Robert- son, but they rose strongly in defence of Sallee and McGraw for permitting the pitcher to remain in the box after the Sox had got the gauge of Slim’s delivery in the seventh. They main- tained that Sallee retained all his “stuff”” despite the cold, and with any kind of a bfeak and that catch by Robertson would have weathered the storm. SPARTANS TRIM PLAINVILLE. Local Gridders Grab Sunday Gamc in ‘White Ribbon Town. The crack Spartan football eleven defeated the Plainville team in that town yesterday afternoon, score 23 to 6. Although greatly outweighed, the locals played the Plainville team off their feet with their dash and in- tricate plays. The feature of the con- ble for the entire 14 points, SMOKE Clothes OXMOOR A MILYD, PLEASANT 8¢ CIGLS test was the 75-yard run for a touch- down by Hillstrand.

Paired with Hugh Vaughn of Detrolt he was beaten by Wilbur Oakes and Jimmy Standish of Detroit 5 up and 4 to play in a thirty-six hole match. Evans’ play, however, was splen- did. or better2d par on twenty-seven holes. McVEY BBATS JOHNSON. Gets Referce’s Decision in Twenty-five Round Bout at Colon. Colon, Oct. 15.—Sam McVey was awarded the referee's decision over his negro rival, Jim Johnson, at the end of their twenty-five round bout here vesterday. The bout was a hard hitting affalr, wWith McVey landing the cleaner blows. Johnson also got in some good wallops. A big crowd saw the contest. TOM LONGBOAT KILLED. Toronto, Oct. 15.—Tom Longboat, the famous Indian marathon runner, has been killed in action in France, according to a letter recetved yestor- day by Mrs. Michael Daly, from her son, Thomas Daly, a former trainer of the Toronto International League baseball team. No particulars were given in the letter, which was dated September 23. GREB CLAIMS A TITLE. Pittsburgh, Oct. 15.—Harry Greb, of this city, last night laid claim to the world's middleweight champion- ship, when his manager received a telegram from New York, stating that Champion Al McCoy had “flunked” out of his match with Greb, carded for next Tuesday night, at the Broadway Sporting club in Brooklyn, at the same time firing his manager, Jack Bulger.

L, Oct. 15.—Out- classed, individually and collectively, from whistle to whistle, the Annex football team of New Haven invaded this city vesterday afternoon, clashed with the husky and aggressive Steam- Roller aggregation, and when the smoke of battle lifted from Berkeley Oval, the New Haven footballists had suffered a defeat to the tune of 9 to 0. Although after a few minutes of play after the starting whistle sound- ed sending twenty-two husky combat- / ants into the fray, at which time it wag evident even to the Annex play- ers themselves that the final result were merely a question of the size of the score, the New Haven boys bat- tled every moment with unflinching courage, but the local backfield could not be held, and smashed through the visitors line, time and time again for first down. By meeting the Steam-Roller team here yesterday afternoon, the Annex suffered their first defeat since 1912, when the Washington Glee club cap- tured the city championship from the Four Corner boys, but the beating this afternoon, does not in any way indicate that the New Haveners have not one of the best semi-pro football machines in the east.

Middletown, Conn., Oct. 15.—Wes- leyan's performance in the Stevens game Saturday was not satisfactory from the standpoint of Coach Fauver, and he will begin the first of the week to try to eradicate the faults. Wesley- ' an will meet New York University in New York City next Saturday. Dick Eustis, a former Wesleyan cap- tain and coach, has been coaching New York University for two years, and much interest here centers in this game. The coach will teach Wesleyan some new plays for Saturday's game. Wesleyan started today to prepare for its annual contest with New York University in New York City. Unusual interest is felt in the game here be- cause Dick Eustis, the old Wesleyan captain and alumni coach, has been in charge of football at New York for two years. Coach Fauver will teach the Wesleyan men some new plays this week and will perfect the team in the use of the forward pass. WATERBURY WAS EASY Brass City Fleven Smothered by Cap- tain McCristy’s Hustlers, Scorc 48 to 0—Moorhead to Aid Fund. That New Britain High school is again represented by a fast football | eleven, was shown Saturday afternoon at St. Mary's playgrounds, when the Waterbury High school team went down to defeat, score 48 to 0. The work of the home gridders was a revelation to their followers, and their stock for winning another champion- ship took a big boost. There was fin- ish to every play made by the locals and the clever handling of Coach Bearce is beginning to show In the team. The locals piled up 13 points in the first quarter, when Hibbard ran the length of the field for a touchdown and Captain McCristy also went over for six points. Dyson kicked one goal, a touchdown and a safety, netting eight points. In the third quarter the locals slacked up slightly, securing but one touchdown, but in the clos- ing chapter, they piled up twenty points through three touchdowns and two goals. The work of Hibbard, Burns, Hagerty and Johnson excelled for the victors while Johnson of the Brass city team plaved a strong game. Physical Director Moorhead an- nounced today that he will assist the local committee in securing funds tor athletic accessories for the local boys at Ayer, Mass, in every way. Mr. Moorhead states that he is willing to contribute a percentage of the re- ceipts from the annual Hartford-New Britain High school game and also the full receipts of—tWé game belng arranged with the High school alumni. Further Mr. Moorhexd stands ready to contribute from the receipte from the basketball season, and lend in any manner possible his support toward making the life of 1te boys in camp a pleasant one. ORIENTAL FOOTBALL Chinaman Displays Wonderful Knowl- edge of Game With Rensselaer Team Troy, N. Y., Oct. 15.—The “celestial smile” that is “child-like and bland"” never failed Pao-Shun Kwan, the only full-blooded Chinese quarterback on a college eleven, as he was given his | first opportunity to get into the game | on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti- tute eleven against New York Univer- sity. Kwan is unusually fleet-footed, uses his head in leading the team and is full of “pep” every minute that he | has his football togs on. | Thig rare specimen, a real Chinese | athlete, owes much to the training of his ‘prep’ school days at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, and last year made the quarterback position | on the freshman eleven of Rensselaer | Poly” During the practice this week | Kwan has been running the Institute | second team and undoubtedly will be | given further opportunity to get into ' other college sames before the end of the present season. i BRITISH HAIL MAUDE AS MILITARY GENIUS | STAR. Gen. Sir Stanley Maude, the com- mander of the British forces in Meso- | potamia, who is hailed by the I ish public as a military genius for his recent successes against the German forces. PIONEERS HAMMER RIEGER’S HURLING Led by Jacobson, Locals Secure Fourteen Bingles and Ten Runs Fred Rieger, star of the New Lon- don Planters of the Eastern league, went down to a humiliating defeat on the Ellis street diamond yesterday, when “Jim” Luby’s Pioneers handed the much touted Poll team of Hart- ford a 10 to 2 score. The big leaguer was buried under an avalanche of hits, in which the local wagon tongue wielders led by Jacobson of the Tor- onto Internationals, led the vicious attack. One of the largest crowds of the season was on hand to witness the contest, and joy that knew no bounds was evident when the locals began to pile up runs that spelled defeat for Gillette's outfit. Every member of the home team took a poke at Rieger’s of- ferings, except Eddie Goeb and Schroeder. Several clouts for extra bases were among the number, Jacob- son circling the bases in the third in- | ning on a beautiful poke to deep left fleld, sending in two runs ahead of him. Jake stretched the clout into a four-sacker, by a wonderful exhibi- _ tion of speed on the paths. Gil- hooley also was in the limelight, lace ing the apple for three hits and con- tributed to the misery of the visitors by stealing two bases. Gil made & stop in the fourth inning that retired the side and prevented two runs, which brought forth meritorious ap- plause. As a crowning achievement for a fine season, Stevie Dudack, whaled out a ripping triple to deep left field in the | seventh inning with the sacks con- gested, adding three more runs. The work of Lynch at the initial sack was of a stellar order, the fast littled southside thrower putting up a game that would make the Holke-Gandil % i duo sit up and take notice. Johnson, of the Fiske Red Tops of Springfield, Mass., was on the firing line for the locals, and he pitched a brilliant brand of baseball. The heavy artillery of the Capitol City was baffled by his speed and twisters, accumulating but five scattered hits. At times Johnson gave signs of wildness, issuing several pass~ es besides poking three of the visitors in the ribs with the ball. Crowther at short for the Poli team played & good game, and also injected some life into the contest with Nis comedy ad- * tics. The score: 1 Poli's ab. Murray, rf . Clark, 1b ...
