League viii Abolish Temple Cup Series.

1t Is a thousand-to-one shot that the
National League at its coming fall meet
ing in Philadelphia will abolish the Tenn
Die Cup series. The actions of the Boston
and Baltimore players in the recent series
was the last straw. They clearly demon
strated that they cared more for gate re-
ceipts than for the glory Of winning the
cup, and by equally dividing the money
instead Of splitting it up on the 60 and 40
per cent. as laid down in the conditions,
they made the games appear farcical.
1t is said that President Soden, of the
Boston Club, will offer a resolution 10
abolish the series. 1t may be that the
league will put up purse for the winning
club. but as the magnates are not in the
habit of doing such things, it will be well

Tho virginisns Could Make No Headway
Against the Strong Team.

PHILADELPHIA. PA. oct. 13.-Spe-
cial. - Pennsylvania defeated virginia
here to-day by the large score OF q 10 u
The game. however, was well contest
ed one and the visitors put up good
resistance The team work Of Pennsyl-
vania, was sure and fast and 1t was not
until the second half that Virginia could
make any perceptable gains against
them.
The most noticeable deficiency Of their
play was the lack of ability TO tackle
their opponents frequently allowing Dig
gains and time and again missing open
tackles.
The fumbling was considerable on both
sides but Virginia suffered much greater
los from such carelessness. Pennsyl-
vania pat up the strongest exhibition
that has been given so far this season
and the offensive and defensive work
were both of the highest order. The
substitution of Wentz for Hare in the
second half considerably weakened Penn
sylvania and made point AT which VIZ
ginia time and again directed ATTACKS
that resulted in good gains.
Carney played a steady gam ana was
almost the only player who could secure
any decided gains against pennsylvania
