The Catholics pushed the Tribe of Ken

Kansas team was distinct disappoint-

again and again the runner was tack

to help him along. Stupid playing by
the JayhaWkers was also very much
in evidence, and their form on the
whole was far below that shown in the
College of EnpOria game Wednesday
The defense of the Jayhawkers was
all that could be asked for. The line

times the speedy Catholics nearly got

During the game he tried two field

Chicago, Oct. 8.-The baseball sea
son Of both major leagues for 1906 end
ed Sunday with games at Chicago, st.
I4euis and Cincinnati. For the first
time since the two big leagues have
been organized both championships
have come to one city. The Chicago
National league team won first honors
in that organization easily. Taking the
lead early in June and holding it to the
end, it established a new major league
record for number Of games won. OF
the 153 games played by the team, 116
were victories. the previous best record
in this respect having been held by the
New York club in the same league.
In the American league the Chicago
team upset all calculations by winning
the pennant. The contest was not de-
cided until last week. the New York
team being within striking distance of
the leaders until October 8, when a
six inning defeat at Philadelphia put
them out of the running. An equally
hard struggle for second place was not
decided until two days later when Chi
eagO defeated Cleveland and took away
the Ohio clubs last chance to overhaul
New York. The fourth and fifth
teams. Philadelphia and St. Louis, were
within hailing distance throughout the
season, Philadelphia, in fact leading
the league on three separate occasions,
Giae last time no later than August 5.
Washington and Boston dropped be-
ninG in the race early and we're tail
enders throughout.
In the National league. outside of
Ghicago's work, the chief feature of the
season was the hard struggle for Sec
ond place between New York and
Pittsburg. This lasted until the first
week in September, when the latter
team fell back. The other five clubs in
the league occupied the same relative
positions throughout most of the sea-
son. although Btooklyn- and Cincin-
fad finished UP with but one game
Between them for fifth and sixth places,
respectively st. Louis was never a
contender in the race and the Boston
clubs record Of 1872 defeats was only
exceeded by that of the same club in
the American league.
Tuesday the worlds championship
series will be begun between the two
Chicago clubs. The first game will be
played on the National league grounds.

Moore of Colorado ran down the field and
got the ball on the first bound. BY this
time several Colorado players reached
the point of the catch, which was on Den
Moore, who ran the remaining distance
for the touchdown. Trudigan kicked the
goal.
Late in the first half an almost indenti-

ease the touchdown was not allowed, as
the ball hit Sabin before touching the

Trudigan of Boulder made three attempts

New Haven. Conn, Oct. S.-Under the
new code, football is working out so nice
~ at Yale that the coaches are becoming
enthusiastic converts. Yale has not favor
ed the forward pass and it has dreaded
the on kick, fearing too many accidents,
but the coaches are so pleased at the
brightness introduced iRto the play by the
innovation that they are willing to take
their chances with the other colleges in
getting the most possible out of the new
laws for the gridiron.
There is still a shade of doubt felt by
the Yale coaches at the ability of an
eleven to score against an uneyenly
matched opponent at a critical moment
under the new rules. The doubt felt is
at the inability to gain ten yards. and al
so at the chances against the success of
the forward pass. About three out of four
tries of the pass at Yale are failures. It
did not work once in the game with Wes-
leyan. The double pass and the on side
kicks have met with better success at
Yale and are now incOrpC eated in the reg
ular repertory of the team.
Yale has had as many injuries under
the new rules as under the old code, but
as no serious accidents have happened at
Yale for two seasons. not many can oc-
cur without making a more unfavOrable
record than the mass play style. The
Gripping of End Rush Bobby Burch is a
serious blow TO the team He was the
best end on the squad and ends are scarce
at Yale this year.
