WHITE SOX ARE
NOW CHAMPIONS

Our old friend. ]. Pfuvius, gave the Amer
lean League pennant to the White Sox yes
terday and the two Chicago teams will
have to try conclusions in the worlds
championship series. The Sox won by TAX
ing a day off. while the Highlanders were
playing a double-header with the Athletics.
The official reason given for the idleness of
the leaders was wet grounds" and it
proved profitable. because GriffithS men
could do no better than even break. and
the tricky percentage figures did the rest
AS the season must necessarily close at
the end of the present week the two games
scheduled between Chicago and ST. Louis
yesterday will be thrown out of the reck-
Oning leaving them only four more to play
before the final bell rings. This gives them
ninety-one games won and fifty-six lost
with a percentage of .619. The Yankees
stand lightweight won and sixty-one lost.
with a percentage of :591. and with three
more games to play Should the Yanks
win all three it would give them per-
centage Of only $50 while If the Sox lost
all of the four remaining they would still
lead with percentage Of .603.
1t is now up TO Griffith's men to prevent
Lajoie's Spiders from ousting them from
second place. Only one game separates the
two teams. Cleveland has four more games
to play against New York's three. and If
they can win all four while New York Is
losing one they will take second honors by
half a game. Even though the question
of the pennant is settled the race still holds
a sensational interest. and every game will
be closely watched until 1t is all over next
Sunday.
Then the fans" will be concerned, with
the question Of a post-season series be-
tween the two New York teams. Up to
date nobody has been able to obtain an
authoritative utterance on this proposition
from. either side. John T. Brush. president
of the Giants. and Frank Farrell Of the
Yankees both said earlier in the season
that they would be willing to have their
respective teams play such SERIES pro-
viding .either finished first, but there has
been no official correspondence in the mat
ter since then. There Is strong belief
that popular demand will induce the rivals
to get together. even II they are not moved
by the enticing pecuniary considerations.

Victory for Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, October AIN q
game of foot ball marked by many brilliant
plays Harvard defeated Bowdoin on Soldiers
Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 10
to 0. The first score was on a goal from the
field by Burr from a place kick on the
tfhirty-seven-yard line, after fair catch.
The second was made by consistent rush.
ing. Apollonio carrying the ball over for q
touchdown and Burr kicking the goal.
There were frequent penalties under the
new rules. Bowdoin suffering most from
these infractions. Harvard made first
downs twice, while Bowdoin failed to gain
by rushing. The Bowdoin interference vas
beautifully executed and the runner shielded
effectively. The Harvard defense stopped
the play after one or two rushes ny rum
ming in behind the runner or tearing apart
the interference, but during the first part
of the game Bowdoin averaged several
yards at each rush.
Harvard tried the forward pass three
times during the game. Once it netted
gain of twelve yards. the second time there
was short gain. but the third time the
ball was lost.
Time was taken out only twice during
the game, once for each team, and as f1f-
teen-minute halves were played the contest
was over inside of one hour. The features
of the game were the rushing Of Driscoll
for Bowdoin and the punting Of Burr for
Harvard.

Pennsy Given a Shock.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. October A.
Gettysburg yesterday played Pennsylva-
mia to a standstill, and local foot ball en-
thusiasts are wondering If "Old Penn"
will be really in the game this season. In
the first half poor pass by Hollenbeck.

BILE, permitted the latter to be dragged
behind his own goal post and Gettysburg

together in the second half, and in fifteen
minutes OF play Dennis made a touch
down and Hollenback kicked the goal

day by defeating Stevens Institute by a
score Of % to o. Stevens showed up
strongly and at times held the Tigers for
little or no gains. After scoring sixteen
points in the first half Princeton sent in a
substitute team.
Although considerable fumbling was
done, principally in the last half on the
forward pass and quarterback kick,
Princeton worked these plays for many
long gains. The work of Wister on for.

DR.. GARDNER SOLD
FOR $4,000

Barney Schreiber's crack three-year-old
colt DR.. Gardner. by Bannockburn-Uarda
won the third race at the Beach yesterday
than several we'll known horsemen made
offers for him outright. Schneider at first
said the colt was not for sale, but when
Frank ]. Farrell offered $4,000 cash the
Missouri turfman promptly accepted. The
papers were quickly drawn up and signed
and DIR. Gardner was led away to the Far
rell stables to be trained by Frank D. Weir.
After the transaction became public Farrell
said that DR.. Gardner would run in the
name Of Timothy D. Sullivan who 1t turn
ed out was partially interested in the pur-
chase. Both Farrell and Sullivan were
congratulated and the general opinion pre-
vailed that they had secured great horse
at a mighty cheap price.
DR. Gardner was a star three-year-old In
the west before Schneider brought him
here. He has run a number of excellent
races on the local tracks. but yesterdays
performance capped the climax. He car
ried 126 pounds and gave sixteen pounds to
Rye, Single Shot and Aviston. ten to As
tronomer, twenty-One to Sister Frances
Box Yet it required little effort for him
to win in q gallop. The Bannockburn colt
is also hard proposition to beat in the
mud and with Weir to handle him 1t Is be-
lieved that his new owners will be able to
win him out in short order. Strange to
say the smart bettors did not feel like
taking to 10 against DR.. Gardner in yes
terday's race. SO that he went up to even
money Schneider. who seldom bets more
than 500 on one OF his horses. told his
friends that DR.. Gardner was sure thing.
yet the smart people showed a marked
preference for Dave Gideon's Astronomer,
who was backed from 10 down to 5, win
other educated players taking Sister
Frances. q western mare. who Is noted
for her gameness. The Sullivans could not
let Rye go to the post unbacked, so he
was played down a couple OF points to 8,
but Crimmins did not get him anywhere
near the vanguard at any stage of the race.

Yale Rush Has Collarbone Broken.

NEW HAVEN, October 4-Yale had
little difficulty in defeating Wesleyan yes
terday in her first foot ball game of the
rules made little difference in the general
style of play. Punting was resorted to
freely. The double, pass attempted by
both sides was not Particularly success
full. Yale was able to gain On straight
was the long overhead double pass sue
cessfully worked. 1t was when Wesleyan
secured the ball in midf1eld during the
first ten minutes of play and Moore pass
ed it to Gildersleeve who ran five yards
before being tackled.
The feature of the game was a fifty
yard run by Jones, the Yale quarterback,
who received the kickoff on his own ten
yard line He lodged the entire Wes-
leyan team, and just before being tackled
passed the ball to Overall. who sprinted
the remaining distance for a touchdown.
The referee ruled that the ball was down
when Jones was stopped and the touch
down was not allowed.
Yale's first score came after eight min
utes of play. Forbes broke through and
blocked kick on Wesleyan's fifteen-yard
plunges through the line carried it over.
Roome making the score. Yale scored
twice more during the first half, one of
the scores being a goal from placement.
The visitors were able to make first
down on Yale twice during the game and
added several short gains through the
line. but were never dangerously near the
Yale goal line.
Burch, who played end rush, had his
collarbone broken while making tackle.
It may keep him out Of the game for the
rest Of the season.

White, crashed into Siliko's sulky, throwing
both horses and drivers to the ground
Siliko scrambled to his feet and ran to the
quarter pole. where he dropped as If dead.
Stable hands ran to his rescue and after

tanned injuries about the head, and when

ing for half an hour the judges allowed
the claim. sent The Able to the barn and
permitted Sliko to finish the race. Myron
