A fight to oust Pittzburgh from first plac: in the National league, waging hotly 1 r the past two day in the St. Louls ball yard, so far has been a “no decision”contest. Thousands of Cardinal fans, storm- ing the park in the hope of seeing St. Louis climb over the Pirates from third place to their first pen- nant in the 37 years of National league histor: have seen three white-hot baitles, but no change in the team positions. Cincinnati alone has drawn benefit from the warfare and now stands in second place orly four points be- hind Pittsburgh. The Cardin: a full game back of the Bu: Sunday the Pirates invaded west for the five vital contests with St. Louls and at the end of ten muddy rourds were obliged to accept 2.3 tle. Yesterday they met in a double contest and at the end of the day each sported a victory. Ray Kremer was invincible in the first game, holding the Cards to two lone safeties for a 2 to 0 shutout. while Rhem and Bell toiled in vain Coupled with the Sunday pastime the 21 innings represented a harvest | of just nine hits for the hitherto dangerous St. Louis trumpers.

H. 8. football follow s and st the date for th annual call for candidates for th: Red and Gold squad approaches, Al though only three of the 11 that started the memotable Hartfor game last fall are to return to school at its opening ncxt Tuesday, ther will be an abundance .of mater from the second team to form the nucleus ol the aggregation. Announcement has been made by Coach George M. Cassidy at his farm t in Poultney, Vermont, that the sam« system which he used in basketbal will be tried in football this year, He will gather the largest squad pos- sible and hold it together in severa) teams for tho entire season. This system worked subcessfully in bask etball and resulted in the team's winning 10 out of 12 contests and also the triangular and state cham n s a. | for seven consecutive days here, and | pionship. Because of the fact that the tean had to bo broken up in the middle of the season becausa of a mid-yes graduation and despite it continued to win during the remainder of the season, it was apparent to “Cass that his system was working success. fully. He is confident he will get the same results in foothall this year.
