Cambridge. Nov. 21.—In an effort to get the necessary scoring drive into the varsity footbali team, Harvard's eleven was given a stiff 25-minutes’ serimmage this afternoon against a team composed of substitutes and coaches. Though thé varsity had the ball all the tirne, there was no scor- ing. Froin midfield, the first-string men fought their way down as far as the ten yard line, where the substi- tutes and coaches threw them back for no gain. Azain the varsity was given the bail on the 35 yard line and again a stiff opposition siruggled as far as the five vard line where the backfield headed by Wendell battered in vain for an inch. / Haughton, Kersberz and McKay, the latter appearing on the field for the first time this season, were the coach- es that stifened up the substitutes line. During fiftser minutes of the scrimmage Bob Potter was on his old Place at quarterback for the first time | since the Princeton game.

New :York, Nov. 21.—William Hep- burn Russell, principal owner of the | Boston National league baseball club, and a well known lawyer in this city, died at his home here early today, aft- | er a brief iilness. He was 54 years of age and was born in Hannibal, Mo. Mr. Russell had been in poor health for the past year. Angina pectoris was the immediate cause of his death which occurred this morning. He had been confined to the house for the past iwo weeks. Mr. Russell was for many years an active force in politics and in later years he became interested in pro- fessional baseball.

Both the railroad and | the industrial stocks advanced. Spec- ulative sentiment was affected favor- ably by several occurrences and bull {operators displayed more confldence. | The opening was higher, with a good + demand for the representative stock. | Profit taking and a sortie by the bears checked the advence for a time, but the market showed strong resistance | to pressure, and later in the day rose cha ous gains of one to three points. The tocks after a long period of compara- ve obscurity on account of conditions in the copper trade was heightened teday by further reports of better busi- ness and the copper shares were per- haps the most conspicuous of any. as a group. Amalgamated Copper rose three roints to 64, and Anaconda, Utah Cop- per and American Smelting made sub- stantial gains. The ruling quotations for copper metal are the highest touch- ed in several months as the result of a sustained and increasing-demand. In the London market the copper metal today advanced to the highest price since last March.

CATCHER IRA THOMAS ON FOUR PENNANT WINNERS | Philadelphia Backstop Is the Real Lucky Boy of Baseball. It may be stated that if Ira Thomas fell out of an aeroplane he would fland “kerplunk’ in a feather bed. That is because old Good Luck and Ira are bosom pals. If Connie Mack was to let him go to the Browns next season it's even money that Hedges’ team would win the pennant. ‘When Ira was a lad in kiits up at the old homestead at Ballston Spa, N. Y., he fell down a flight of stairs. On regaining his feet he picked up a quarter. ‘When Cornie Mack purchased this fellow’s release from Hughey Jennings the 'ast thing Ira said tc Jen- nings when he was leaving the club was: “Hughbey, ithe club I'm going with is going to win the next pen- nant.” He missed his guess by a year; but his lucky star was off on a jam- boree.

Rizhi now he is a good catch- er and will earn a great deal more be- fore he gets out of the game. It'll be nis luck if he owns a club some day which will win pennants and world's championshins one after the other. Some of the ball players say that Ira s:iives more than he makes. However, Thomas is one of the late ball players who thinks that ten years is about all ior the plaver, and he is looking out for the end. {JOE JACKSON MADE. i last season. A GREAT RECORD Set Better Mark for First Year's Work Than Any Other Youngster. Joe Jackson made a better record last season than Ty Cobb, Eddie Col- lins or any other young star in his first major league season. Cobb is the only one of nine other stars who has ever hit above .400. Jackson hit .408 last season. Collins stole more bases in his first major league seasor than Joe stole Joe passed the mark of all the others in every department Collins stole sixty-seven bases in 153 games in 1909. Joe stole forty-one last season. Collins is Joe's closest rival in first season batting. He hit .346 in 1909. Cobb batted .320 in his first major league season, 1906. He was in ninety- seven games. He batted .360 in 150 games in 1907. None of the National league stars has ever come close to Joe's record. Fred Snodgrass of the Giants batted .321 in 1910.
