CUBS SEND IN LIST.
File Names of Players Who Will Try
for Worlds Honors.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4.-To date Presi-
dent Ban Johnson, of the American League,
has declined to submit to the National
Commission the list of names of players on
the teams of his league who are eligible to
take part in the worlds championship.
According to the rules governing the
worlds series, these names should have
been i'm the hands Of the commission be-
fore this, but as the fight in the American
League still is on, Mr.. johnson has thought
it proper to withhold this list, rather than
send in the eligible men on the three or
four teams that have a chance for break
ing into the worlds championship series.
President Murphy, of the Chicago Ma
%tionals, has had his eligible list In the
hands of Chairman Hermann for some
time. Here it is:
Pitchers-Brown, Overall, Fraser, Dur
bin, Pfester, Ruelbach, Lundgren.
Catehers-Kling, Moran, Walsh, Oils.
Infielders-Chance. EVers, Tinker, Stein
feldt, Hoffman, Zimmerman.
Notwithstanding, Slagle, Schultz,
Howard. Mccormick.
The Mccormick who is classified as an
outfielder is Trainer Jack Mccormick, who
came in for a share of the worlds series
coin last fall, and will get a slice of the
melon this year. He and Zimmerman, and
perhaps Durbin, probably will be COM
PEELED to be satisfied with a trife less than
the others receive, which Is only just to
the men who did most of the work Of
bringing the flag to Chicago again.

All the Newark High School junior girls
interested in basketball reported yesterday

uniforms ready for instruction.
Very shortly Miss Patrick and the vari-
GUS class team captains will select the
players to represent the three classes, soph-
omore, junior and senior. There will be no
freshman team, as most all the freshman
girls are down at the High school Annex.
Four teams were chosen at yesterdays
practise and two exciting games were
played. Those who reported were; Miss
Janet Sinnott, captain; Miss Jessie Colt,
Miss Ethel Wright, Miss Margaret Russell,

HIGH SCHOOL A.. A. MEETS.
Lots of Business Transacted by Local
Sohoolboy Organization.

A regular monthly meeting Of the New
ark High School Athletic Association was
held Yesterday afternoon. Considerable
important business was transacted. Vice
Pie sident Franzen presided in the absence
of President Tuttle. After the secretary
and treasurer's reports Franzen, manager
of the football team, stated that the season
had been started with a victory over
Bloomfield High School, and that over ia
season tickets had been sold and $40 taken
in at the gate. He also urged that the
boys do all they can to keep the crowd off
the field during the game
Tercy Pierce was appointed to the posi-
ton OF assistant manage Of the track
team and Harry Pier TO the position of as
slstant manager OF baseball. Alverson
made a motion to the effect that all as
sistant managers be elected by ballot in
stead of open vote. As this affects the
constitution, it was laid on the table for
two weeks. A motion was passed to give
the members of the bowling team an en-
blem of black letters, N. B.. T. The asso-
citation agreed to make up the balance of
$40 for the cross-country teams expenses
after they raise all they can by candy
sales. which the members of the team ex-
pect to hold in the school.
Before the meeting adjourned a motion
was passed to await the action of the ad-
visory committee before paying an Off
calls expenses to the games ava from
home played by the football team.
Yesterday was a busy day for the New
ark High School athletes. The cross
COUNTRY men were out practising for the
final trials. which will be held tomorrow
over the East Orange course. Harry
Coates ran with them yesterday through
Forest Hill. Coach Warning was well
pleased with the showing made by the
football team Wednesday. and had the
first eleven out yesterday, putting them
through preliminary and signal practise,
in preparation for the Princeton freshman
game next Wednesday. Warning showed
the boys a few new plays and worked them
hard 50 as to get them into shape for next
week's game.

PRINCETON, Oct. 4.-With eight
coaches out on the field yesterday after
noon. the Princeton eleven was rushed
up and down the field for half an hour,
preparatory to the opening game to-
morrow with Stevens Institute. Each
man on the first string was taken in
hand separately by one of the coaches
before the scrimmage work set In.
Then Roper. called eleven scrub men
from the side lines and the daily battle
was on. All the veterans got into the
game this afternoon for the first time
this week. It looked natural to ses
eddie Dillon back in his old position at
quarter.
After his long absence from the field
the little quarterback seemed as nim-
BILE and speedy yesterday as before his
accident. and kept the men on the jump.
He received a rest in the second half,
however, for Roper wants him to be
in prime condition for tomorrow's
skirmish.
Mccormick, the big fullback. tried
his hand at managing the forward pass
yesterday for the first time. Dillon has
been hurting the ball himself from
quarter, but the coaches think that the
fullback has more time to get the ball
away with less chance of an inaccurate
throw.
The captain also made two touch-
49, 49, - ~N0 AA9N PNAAO0 ~ WE AAAF
smashes. Line-plunging tactics proved
much safer and more effectual ground
gamers against the scrub ines than
either the forward pass or on-side
kick. 1t is likely that very few of the
latter plays will be attempted in to-
morrow's game.
In the second half Dowd, who went i
foT Wister on left end, received q fdT
ward pass from Mccormick and mad
a clever getaway. Finally. with severa
men clamoring to him, the little movie,
downed the ball forty yards away. Ths
next play pushed Cox through centre
for the final score.
Eddie Dillon wound up the after
moons practise in a sensational manner
by placing sixteen drop-kicks between
the posts out of eighteen attempts.
The line up:
Wister and Dowd, left md; siegling,
left tackle; Walter. left guard: Phillips.

man and Booth, right tackle; Brown
and Vaughn, right end; Dillon and Ber-

back; Read. right half back; AfcCor-
mick and Coke, full back.

than thirteen clubs of this city and vicinity

That there will be a league there Is no
doubt. Little Roadway could be made at

JENNINGS PRAISES TIGERS.
Says Determination and Harmony Put
Them at the Top.

WASHINGTON, Oct. with the pen
nant practically cinched through cleaning
up the series here, Hughey Jennings was
one of the happiest and most enthusiastic
men in the world last night. He bubbled
over with Joy as he told how his team de-
termined they could win the pennant and
how his boys struggled necessarily with a
D~ever-say-die, spirit TO achieve the goal.
Fortunately of purpose through sticking
everlastingly at our task practically ex-
plains in a nutshell how we have forced
our way to the front and achieved sue
cess" was Hughey's first volley as to how
his team got there. with a determination
a man. an army or a baseball team can
accomplish any practical task, provided Ii
has the ability. And no man will deny
thai our team has had the ability" con-
tinued Jennings.
when 1 was put in charge of the Tigers
this year my only task was to bring the
team around to a realization of its full
strength and arouse it to a determination
to win the pennant at all hazards. After
our team developed its full speed we kept
pace with the champions of the world,
and with us the pennant race became a
case of Pixies Peak or bust 1t looks like
a clear case of Pike's Peak to us now, be-
cause I don't think there is any danger of
our going busted in the remaining three
udyS VI iue SehSOH.
THE greatest factors In our success have
been harmony among the players and team
work. All thought of any individual record
was utterly banished and tabooed by our
boys, and there is not a man on the team
who hasn't had his heart and soul in every
game with a do-or-die spirit for the sue
cess of the team as a whole.
I'VE have had a well-balanced team, with
the nerve. grit and ageressiveness to ac-
complish what we had set out to do. These
are the main reasons why we have sue
ceeded, and no one will gainsay our sue
cess has been deserved without doing us
injury.
"All our pitchers have been overworked.''
said Jennings, but Donovan, Siever and
will all be able to give rood ac-
counts of themselves in the apparently GER
event of our fighting the Chicago Cubs
for the worlds championship. Killian has
a sore arm, and may not be able to pitch,
but our other three box artists will do
justice. We have the best hit
ting team in the country, and a frst-class
team. ] don see how we can be

vania n Harvard had another field
day yesterday in the intercollegiate
championship lawn tennis tournament,
which is in progress at the Merton
Cricket Club. The second round in

survivors, of whom Pennsylvania has
three. Harvard four and Yale one. In
the doubles, the seven pairs still un-
beaten comprise two from Pennsylvania
and one each from Princeton, Cornell
and Yale.
The best match in the singles was
that between N. w. Niles, of Harvard,
and S. Gordon, of Princeton. Gordon
took the first set So. driving with az
curacy and keeping Niles in the back
of the court most of the time. In the
second set Niles's twist service and Wig
orous smashing earned him the victory
although Gordon made many of the
games close.
Niles will meet today H. NJ. Tilden
of Pennsylvania, in what should be the
best match of those . scheduled. A
Thayer was the only Pennsylvania mar
to lose, but he put up a hard fight
against H. Bundy, of Yale. r. NJ. Phil.

probably draw a big crowd. The Clarks

as popular nowadays as 1t has
been in seasons past. it is believed that
indoor baseball, though a novelty in this
vicinity, will prove to be a winner In
other cities the interest is about as keen
between the rival teams as it is hereabouts
during the summer between the outdoor
baseball mines. As clever outdoor players
can easily learn the rudiments of the in
door sport, and can speedily become ex-
pert, there seems to be no good reason
popular hereabouts and be well p~atronized.
The promoters in this city are negotiating
for a large hall on the Hill. ard ex-
pect to play a game in the near future.
An out-of-town attraction will be put on
first, but it is the intention to get a
league started as soon as possible and
thus create and add to b local interest.

OPEN SEASON
IN DASHING
STYLE
Entire Nous Bask etbaII Team
~Overwhelms E~xceISiOrs
in First Game.

The Entire Nous basketball team, of
Harrison, opened its season In whirlwind
style by defeating the .Excelsiors, Of New
York, by a score of 100 to IS at Jacobs's
Hall, last night. The visitors were entirely
outclassed and seemed to be out of prac-
tise and had no team work whatever, while
the 'Ents'' showed as brilliant playing and
PASSWORD as could be expected of them in
the middle of the season.
Alderman DAILY, of Harrison, tossed up
the ball at the opening of the game. Right
at the start it was seen that the home
team would win easily, as when Alderman
Daily threw the ball up, Donald got the
jump on Miller and batted the ball to Hill,
who on a quick pass to Campion scored
the first goal of the year. The ball had
hardly been put in play again when Hill
Gagged the second basket. and then Cam
pion scored three in succession.
From then on 1t was only a matter Cd
how many points the home team would win
by. At the end of the first half the score
was 46 to 8 In favor of the "Ents." II
the second period Donald retired in favor
of 'Matty" Garrigan, Hill playing centre
in place of the former.
The second period was a repetition of the
first, the "Ents' scoring baskets at will
until the century mark had been reached
after which they seemed to be satisfied
Campion, of the "Ents," had his eye on the
basket, caging the ball fifteen times, while
Hill and Goodman scored eleven each
Miller and Boyer, who scored four baskets
apiece, played best for the visitors. The
lineup:

nucleus of a number of performers who
thoroughly understand the game, to build
up a team composed of popular and clever
baseball players. Practise is to be held
tomorrow, and the rudiments of indoor

The race in the American League for
the pennant is as good as over. De-
troit yesterday trimmed the Washing
ton team with ease, and thereby climbed
a few points higher up the ladder. The
Athletics were also victorious, but their
victory did not move them any nearer
to the fast-going Tigers.
The Tigers are 10Y on their way to
st. Louis, where they will play a series
of three games with the Browns tomor-
row and Sunday. The Athletics open
at Washington today to play a double
header. The fact that the Tigers are
not to play today is of no particular
advantage to the Athletics. By win
ming their two games in Washington
today the Athletics will raise their per-
centage to sos. II they should only
win one game, the percentage would be
sol. The loss of both games would
bring the Athletics down to .595.
Tomorrow the Athletics will play an
other double-header in Washington. A
double victory in this would not make
them even with Detroit, ever If the
Tigers should lose to ST. Louis. If
however, the Detroit team should lose
all of it's games in St. Louis. a thing
which is hardly possible, the Athletics
might nose them out by beating the
Senators In every game of the final
series.
