and talented Nick was held that the po-
lice had to rescue him from the clutches
OF his South Side admirers.
The frenzied fanatics wanted 10 rend

venirs OF the happy event. Great honor
comes TO one who can trim the sauoy
Cubs In their own yard. Like the lunch
hour in local chop houses the action was
fact and effective. but not so clean as II
might have been.
The Cubs blew on MOrdecai Brown and
fhe fingerless wonder detonated once him
self. There were but four hits on a side
and both pitchers shoue as high class
nen IN the bottle for the blankets. But
the Sox made their four swats count and
tbey also realized on the miscues OF the
Cubs.
The idea of being touted 10 lose on a
20 j basis in the betting stung the Sox
and they retalated while their ire was
up. That they should whip the favorites
by n score equal 10 the odds against them
IS what the board would call poetic ius-
lice as she is meted out. That the Cubs
should lose with Brown and King burn
tng the soft coal stings the West Siders
much. But Il not always the big smoke
that suffocates.
From the first until the fifth round the
SHOW was swift and brilliant. Then the
Cubs got the ricketts,. Robe poled a triple
under the field seats in left and scored

YALE PLOUGHED
THROUGH SCRUBS

In two l0-minutes halves the Yale squad
was put through drill, with two purp-
poses In view. one was TO keep the Var
sity going at top speed, TO see how eff-
cient IL could be in offensive work, and
the other TO pound home a better system
of defence In the same lineup.
The first object was accomplished by
the Varsity working the ball about half
the length OF the field for touchdown
against a spirited fight by the scrub elev-
en-. All the first period the Varsity
eleven plunged and plunged. gaining lots
OF ground on Just old Fashioned straight
football This had the effect OF showing
that the Yale offence can get over the
white lines by old-time rules and plays,
IL necessary, as the scrubs put up as stiff
an opposition as the average Yale con
testant does.
In the second the second eleven was
given the ball and exhorted by some OF
the coachers Ito tear the stuffng" out
Of the first team, but the Varsity proved
very strong and little was gained by the
scrubs

BEATEN BY MURPHY

I battle against terrific odds. and was
badly beaten boy. Only in two rounds
did the local boxer have anything the
better OF tho argument. and his advantage
was but slight One round early In the
contest was fairly even. but all of the
others were Murphy's, and by a long mar
gin.
Time and again after the eighth round
Murphy had his man all but knocked out,
and never I'm his ring career has Goodman
been so near to being knocked out so
many times in one fight as he was last
night. Several times during the contest
he was really too weak to defend himself
properly and it looked as though all that
was needed was the right punch to do
the trick. Yet Murphy, when Goodman
was In this condition. landed just such
blows, and while the effects OF them were
apparent, Goodman would not down, but
how he remained on his feet In the face
of the awful whipping he received was
the cause OF wonder.
Murphy was, OF course, walloped at
times fairly hard. but only In the early
stages OF the battle. for az It progressed
