ARVARD'S line is giving Coach Percy Haughton considerable trou®le just now. The Crim- son forwards, Curtis, Dadmun, Wig- gin, Cowan and Caner, were especlal- ly weak against the Indians, who rushed the ball for a total of 217 yards. Harvard's lines don’t often give such feeble resistance Coach Haughton was compelled to gather almost an entire new line this season, and the forwards who faced tho Indians were inexperienced. Thoy didn't know how to use their hands while on the defensive, and were easily drawn out of position, Cowan and Caner, on the right side of the line, were unusually easy marks for the Indians, who generally smoth- ered them out of the play completely. Left Guard Dadmun was another easily fooled by the India: ‘The entire Crimson line had a tendency to play too high. The crafty Indians, seeing thelr opponents’ weakness, charged low and upset the Harvard Mnesmen, The present Crimson forwards are all big strong fellows. Their only handicap is lack of experience. From now on they'll receive special atten- Moa tf 1a) coaches, i ‘There will be but little experimaent- ing with the Crimson backfleld. It will be formed from Willcox, Mahan, King, McKinlock and Tom Enright, when he returns to the game. As a general thing Haughton builds Har- vard's attack around one man. Brickley, until he underwent an operation last year, was the main- spring for the team's offense, When his star Kicker available, Haughton quick! around Eddie Mahan, iy the dangerous man playing football jay.

In other words, the entire seat-| ing capacity had been suld out at} Braves Field, and the money was waiting to be divided. Instead of be- ing divided between the club owners, it will now be divided among the fans. It has been a long, lean year tn the ni was almost a sigh of Hooper's long smash grass in deep centre and bounded into &@ stretch of temporary stands for a home run. It was a blow for the popularity of a great national game. Moran points out that both home rune—the ones that crushed the N Uonal League champs—were hit into he Vittle stretch of temporary bleach- in centre field. These seats had been put in to bring about $5,000 more into the box office. If the seats had not been there the drives of both Lewis and Hooper would have gone for two-bagcers only, and it would have been {mpossible for the Red Sox to have scored more than three runs. The playing of the ninth would have been unnecessary and Hooper would not have had a chance to wallop that last drive, NO MONEY IN BASEBALL LAST YEAR, SAYS LANNIN. President Joe Lannin, a genuine sportsman, was naturally pleased at the victory, but upon arriving in New York early this morning de- clared himself delighted that the Red et when | but tha t—} lassed.

The Phillies receive, $2,519.12. Tho Red Sox are no fluke| champions. They delivered tho real | goods, proving themselves genuinely entitled to wear tho crown, After! having lost the first game they won| four in a row. There is no question the better club won, They excelled in batting, In pitching and in fielding. That marvellous Boston outfield could have won the series single handed, It was either Hooper, Bpeak- er or Lewis that figured in every im- portant play, It was the bat of one of this trio that always shot home the wallop that counted, Yesterday, for instance, Hooper made two, home runs and made them when they were sweet, the Red Sox at the time being behind. Lewis made his long smash when there was 4 runner on base and two runs were needed to tle the score. ‘This occurred in the eighth tnning. In the ninth Hooper finished up with what will alweys be known to the magnates of baseball as the $83,000 wallop, PHILLIES COMPLETELY OUT: CLAS8ED BY RED SOx. ‘The Phillies have no alibl and have offered none.
