THE GRIDIRoN
U. OF P. GIVEN
 A SURPRISE
Ysles Play Was a Feature of the Opening Games - Harvard
 Defeated Bowdoin.

The first real surprise of the foot ball season came yesterday, when the University of Pennsylvania was held to tie score of 6 to $ by Gettysburg. Gettysburg did not make a touch down, but the Quakers evidently have not yet got their bearings.
 The feature game of the day wns the Yale Wesleyan conflict, Yale mak- Ing three t0uchdOwns and one field goal in her first contest under the new rules. It was fast, alert and res0urceful game that Yale disclosed, the tussle being diverse with stra- tegic and picturesque play, as well as cleanly and quickly played. There was open action in plenty and few penalties were needed. The game spoke well for the new rules. Among those who looked on was Princeton's head coach, w. c. Roper. "The Yale team is fast" he said. "The new rules make the game interesting. and the big games will be all the more inter- esting." The Yale men generally are not of the beefy kind, but clean limb ed and wide awake.
 Harvard again made small score, but won handily enough from Bow dOin. Princeton played varied, open game and defeated Stevens. Cornell improved with increased knowledge of the new rules. Dartmouth took to the revised game better. and the In- dians rolled up another fat score. The results:
 Harvard 10, Bowdoin o; Yale 21, Wesleyan 0; Princeton 2, Stevens 0; Pennsylvania 6, Gettysburg 0; Cor nell 21, Hamilton O; Carlisle 4S, Sus- quehanna o; Dartmouth 8. Vermont 0; Williams s, Massachusetts A. C., O.

NEW YORK WON
 ONE AND LOST ONE
All Chance of Winning Ameriear League Pennant is Gone
 Chicago Was Idle.

Philadelphia Oct 4.-For the sec ond time in three seasons the New York team yesterday became the near-champions of the American league. The Highlanders had won the nrst game of double-header with the Philadelphia Americans, by z to 3, when news came over the wire that chicago would be unable to play at St Louis on account of rain. This brought the Highlanders' pennant chances down to the ''irreducible min imum.' In other words, tlfe New Yorks would have to win all four of the remaining games and Chicago lose all four they have to play to enable Griffith's team to pull out ahead by the same number of defeats and one more victory than the White Sox.
 The following are the scores of all yesterdays games in the American league: New York [, Philadelphia 5. New York c. Philadelphia 3; Washing ton 2, Boston l. Boston 2, Washing ton l; Cleveland 4, Detroit 3:

The Standing
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

New York, Oct Alt was a cold day for the Giants in more ways than one up at the Polo Grounds yesterday. Only handful of fans saw the game with the Quakers, and the Giants lost It after llstless and half-frozen struggle by the score of 8 to 1. About the only consolation the McGraw crowd got was in the word that came from Philadelphia that the Highland CTS had lost the second game there, and at the same time all chances for the pennant. McGraw believes that now the Highlanders will have to play his team for the local champion ship.
 The following are the scores of yes- terday's games: Philadelphia 3, New York |; Brooklyn 13, Boston 4.

 He robbed me: arrest him"
 The fakir then started in pursuit and catching up with the man struck him just back of the ear with a small knife or a pair of steel knuckles. Oficer T. R.

I guess you had better start right in now and do your smashing" He then ordered the gambler to take his wheel of the grounds.

TAFT TAKES FIRST GAME.
Watertown Eleven Prevented New
 Haven Team from Scoring.

Taft, thanks to the new rules, yes- terday afternoon at Watertown de- feated feated the New Haven High school by the score of 5 to 0, in a game which was exciting and hotly contested. Taft was on the defen- sive during the greater part of the game, and as to the number of yards gained was far excelled by the Elm City aggregation. Still, the. Water town team, when 1t was necessary, put up a very strong defense. hold ing their opponents several times for downs. The winners resorted to a kicking game, while the high school team worked their line for all it was worth. only booting the pigskin twice during the entire contest. It was during the second half when the only touchdown of the game was made. The ball was in possession of Taft on her oponents' 4O-yard line. A signal for a punt was given and Captain Lilley was down the field very fast. He grabbed the leather on the bound and before he could be tackled by any of the opposing lines had crossed the goal line. The try for goal failed. The ball see-sawed up in the middle of the field for the remaining four minutes of the game. The lineup:
