THE GRlDlRON.
RESULTS OF GAMES
 PLAYED SATURDAY

New Haven, Oct 1O.-Saturday's game against the Pennsylvania State college showed the Yale football coaches that lot of work remains to be done before the Blue eleven will be up to it's usual standard. Although Yale made a fairly respectable score against their opponents 1t was made in 8 particularly ragged and loose man ner, which would have availed nothing against a slightly stronger team. Yale won because she had more beef and staying power and not because she played the game any better, either as a team or individually.
 Yale made 24 points and Penn State the usual of the small colleges. Two touchdowns were made in each halr. But for the first ten minutes of the game the Pennsylvanians made the Yale offense look pretty sick. Twice the ball was taken away from Yale on. downs. Once after three attempts Yale still had five yards to gain. The. best that the Blues could do was to. bite off two or three yards at time It was not until the visitors became, tired out that Shevlin started the ball rolling by a long run after catching aj punt. The Yale team then walked steadily toward the goal for a touch down and after that had little trouble in repeating the performance, al-I though it can not be said that she gained "at will"

She was tall, with wavy brown hair, and rich, deep brown eyes, just like all brunettes in the novels. He was un- dersized and impecunious, but impress sionable and ardent. They lived at the same boarding house for time, relates the Brooklyn Eagle With her he was sentimental, tender, earnest, also inclined to be rash and etxravagant with his small earnings in bringing gifts of candy and the like It is whispered that in moment of recklessness he bought her two ice cream sodas in suc- cession. But this could never be veri- fed. Circumstances over which she had control caused her to leave the boarding house without bidding him good-by Carelessly, too, she neglect ed to leave her address He applied to the boarding house mistress in grave distress oNsoul.
 Do you know he asked, where Miss Jones has gone?"
 Now, look here, MT. Blank" said the kindly woman, let me advise you not to worry too much about Miss Jones. She's engaged. Didn't you see that ring?"
 "Engaged!" he gasped, backing to- ward the mantel and blindly grabbing at bunch of cat-tails for support, engaged, did you say? And, great heavens. she let me buy her peanut brittle!"

ARTHUR DUFFEY BEATEN
One Hundred Yards Made in Record
 Time.

The sensation of the fall season in English athletics was the invitation 100-yard run at the games of the South London Harriers, little more than a week ago. Among the com. petitors were Arthur J. Duffey of America and J. w Morton, the pres, ent English champion and the man who defeated Duffy for the English title last July Both Morton and Duff fey won their heats in good time and there was great excitement when they came out for the final. At the crack of the gun Duffey was first away and at fifty yards was leading the English man by five feet. At seventy-fEe yards the Briton drew level with the Tank, passed him, and in the run to the worsted gained yard. The time re- turned was 4-5 seconds, so that Nor. ton is now joint holder of the English record with Duffey.
 A few days later, at the games of the London A. C., Morton performed brilliantly in the 120-yard invitation event He won the final heat in Il 4-5 seconds, which equals the record made by Bradley, Douner, Wefers and Duffey Duffey did not start in the race. This meeting of the London A. 0. was held at Stamford Bridge grounds, and it was notable as being the last fixture to be held there.

BOSTON WON TWO.

Boston, Oct 10.-The worlds cham pions put it all over the New Yorks in the double header Saturday after noon, winning the first game in a walk and shutting out the visitors in the second contest which was of sew en innings duration owing to dark ness. The crowd was a record break CT for this city. Boston played with out an error in either game, but the visitors made several costly mis- plays.
 Boston has a great chance to win the pemnant, for it is up to Griffith's men to win both games to-day, or they will finish in second place. Dineen's pitching and the great batting of the locals was what won the first game for them. New York looked good in the first contest until the fourth in ming, when Chesebro was batted out of the box, the locals scoring six runs. Clarkson succeeded him, but the Har- yard man was wild, hitting the first man up and passing the second. A sacrifice and double brought In two more runs, and the second game could not be. started any too soon to suit the visitors. Boston clubbed Clarkson hard in the sixth inning, four runs re, gult1uE. An erfOf Dy SOuFOy HI l1e seventh gave the locals k their thirteenth run.
 Powell pitched fine ball in the second contest, but his support was wretched, while the Boston men played magnifi-. cently, especially Collins and La chance. New York had a good chance fin the second inning when they had men on second and third bases and only one out, but Young put on steam and famed both Kleinow and Powell. Another opportunity was offered for run ifi the third, when Dougherty bunted safely and reached second on Keeler's sacrifice, but Elberfield foul- ed to Criger and Williams drove lin er into Parents init. Boston made the one tally in the fifth. Ferris got in n pretty single and Criger sacrificed. < Young drove fly into Anderson's nit and the latter threw past third bag into the crowd in an effort to nail Ferris, and the latter scored. The scores:

PAID TO COACH HARVARD.

The Harvard Crimson came out Sat- urday morning with the amazing an nouncement that William H. Lewis, the colored center of many years ago, has been hired to coach the football team. The announcement was not so surprising because it was unexpected as because Harvard has been growing through the undergraduates magazine about the unsportsmanship of having paid coaches.
 The case of Kennedy, Yale's crew coach, has always seemed the most glaring to the Harvard press. Lewis is the first graduate of Harvard that ever received pay for coaching his alma matters team, although several professionals, such as Donahue for the basbeall team, have been hired The writer remembers no other case, in any of the larger colleges at least, where graduates have been hired.
 Tn Saturdays game Harvard's de- fense was broken for ten first downs by the University of Maine. The Crimson rolled up 23 points finally to Maine's 0. Harvard was held for downs once on Maine's 1-yard line. Harvard made her best gains with her old tandem formation on tackle. This year new wrinkle in the forma- ton is to have the tandem line up di- agonally instead of at right angle to the line of scrimmage.

THE DIAMOND.
REVERSES
 HIS DECISION
Baseball Game for Money Ended UnsatisGactOrily- Boston Trimmed the New Yorks Twice Saturday.

A game which was chara acterized by unfair tactics was played at Riverside park yesterday afternoon and ended in dispute during the first half of the ninth, when the score stood 8 to [ in favor of the Merrimac Juniors and against the Moonlights. It is good for the lovers of baseball that the baseball season is nearly over for a few more exhibitions like yesterday would probably put the finishing touches to baseball at Riverside park. Two players were responsible for the unsportsmanlike tactics and it is un- necessary to mention their names, for all the 5000 people who were at the game know who are meant When ono player deliberately runs into another and tries to knock him out, that is rowdyism which should not be toler- Rted. When another player stands in front of the ball in a crowd and won't let the opposing player get 1t, that Is the worst kind of sportsmanship, and when a player holds the hands of the catcher of the opposing team so that he can't catch the ball and thus allows two men to score, then there are not words in the vocabulary sufficient to condemn such an act.
 With the exception of the above tactics the game went along smoothly until about the ninth inning, when the Moonlights wanted the game to be called on account of darkness. The umpire, Dave MuIcahy refused to do so and four or five of the Moonlight players kept arguing with him. All the time, of course, 1t was growing darker. The Merrimacs had scored two runs and had two men on bases when a dispute arose, the crowd surged on the field and MT Mulcahy called the game off and said he would give his decision to-day. Many peo-) pie say that Mir Mulcahy had no right to reserve his decision until to-day. The game was played for a purse of $15O which is in the hands of the stakeholder, J. ". Fitzpatrick. The score

might rescue and carry out some or the crew. They had gone but short distance when the coal gas became stifing and Begg succumbed. The two other rescuers succeeded in crawling to the portal of the tunnel on their hands and knees.
 Meanwhile preparations were being made at the Sarnia end of the tunnel to rescue the imprisoned train crew. An engine with a party of rescuers en- tered the tube and had proceeded but short distance when they found John Haley, a track walker, lying uncon- scious on the track. He was taken out. and again the engine plunged into the gaseous atmosphere The rescuers were overcome, however. by the gas before the train was reached. ana Brakeman McGrath died. Switchman Blake, who was member of the party. after time made another attempt to penetrate the gas and this time suc- ceeded In reaching the stalled engineg coupled 1t foS the cars and ran the train out into the daylight Simpson.

CLEMENTS PROTEST.
Racing Board Considered it, and
 Threw it Out.

NEW YORK, Oct 10. . George Heath, an American, driving ninety Horsepower Panhard and representing the Automobile Club of France, finish ed first in the international automobile race for the massive silver cup given by William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. One man was killed, pinned beneath the overturned car owned and driven by George Arents, IT,, the young ama- teur MT. Arents himself was serious ly hurt.
 Albert Clement, driving an eighty horsepower Clement car, was second and entered protest H. H. Lyttle, in thirty four horsepower Pope-Toledo, came in third
 1t was probably as close finish as ever took place in a race of it's kind. Heath crossed the tape in 5 hours 26 minutes 45 seconds and Clement sec ond in hours 2S minutes 13 seconds, the race going to Heath by 1 minute 28 seconds. The machines were start ed at two minute intervals.
 The racing board of the American Automobile association considered MT. Clements protest at Garden City un- til 2 o'clock in the morning and finally decided to throw it out.
 George Arents, Jr., who was thrown from his machine during the race, was somewhat better last night, although earlier 1t seemed as though his death would be but matter of short time. He is at the Nassau County hospital, Mineola, N. r. Mrs. Arents is with her husband.
 He had sinking spells the greater part of the night, but at o'clock in the morning there was a slight reac- ton, and, although the gain has been slow, it has been steady, and MT. Arents is now in semiconscious con dition.
 W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr, the donor of the cup, said after the race:
 Apart from the question of superior ity of one machine over another, the race has demonstrated the keen inter- est taken in automobiling by the Amer icap. people as. swelI as those of other nations. It was good, clean race and full of interest. might add that next year the race for the cup will also be held in this country, but after that it will take place in whatever country the cup may be, assuming that it is won away from the United States

SIX DIE IN TUNNEL
Grand Trunk Railway Disas-
 ter at Port Huron.
RAILROAD MEN SUFFOCATED BY GAS
Train Broke, Engineer Died at His Post I'm Cnb-Fireman Found Alive In Engine TanI-Brave
 Workers Perish.

PORT HURON, Mich. Oct. 1O.-Six employees of the Grand Trunk rail- way have been suffocated to death bv coal gas in the St. Clair tunnel, which runs under the St. Clair river from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ont. A coal train broke in two while passing through the tunnel, and three of the train crew were suffocated while part or the train lay stalled in the tunnel, the engineer lost his life when he re- turned and endeavored to push the stalled cars back to safety. and two other rescuers perished in vain at tempts to penetrate the gaseous atmos- phere of the great tube
 The dead are: A. S. Begg, Port Hu- ron, superintendent of terminals: En- gineer John Coleman, Port Huron: Conductor ]. B. Simpson, Sarnia, Ont: Conductor D. T. Tinsley, Sarnia, Ont; !; Brakeman Thomas McGrath, Sarnia, Ont, and Brakeman D. A. Gillis, Sar- mia, Ont.
 The train, which entered from the American end of the tunnel, was made up of seventeen coal cars. When it broke Engineer Coleman realized that the accIdent had happened and with the three cars that were still attached to the engine steamed out of the tun- nel into the Sarnia yards. He hastily detached his engine and went back into the tube for the stalled cars. When his engine reached them he at tempted to push them back through the tunnel and out of the American portal. The grade proved too steep, however, and the attempt was failure. The engine and cars rolled back into the gas laden tunnel, and the engineer was suffocated at his post in the engine cab. His fireman, Fred Forester, with great presence of mind, Jumped into the partly filled water tank of the engine, where there was enough air to preserve his life, although he is in a serious condition.
 When news of the broken train reached the American side of the tun-. nel Superintendent Begg, accompanied by two other employees, started in on foot hoping that the train was near enough to the; entrance so that they

Princeton found Washington and Jefferson hard nut to crack Saturday and succeeded in making only 16, points. Most of Princeton's offense was straight football, plunges through the line and end runs. The opposing line held we'll, but was gradually worn away. Foulke and Ritter of Princeton earned most of the applause by mak- ing several long gains, although the credit, as likely as not, belongs to, someone else.
