LAST OF BOSTON.S
FAMOUS "OLD GUARD" TO GO

In bidding farewell to Fred Tenney, Bos-
ton parts with the final remnant of the
once famous Beaneaters, who were cham
pions OF the National League in 1907 and
1898. He is the last of the old guard to
go, and like wise his departure marks the
beginning of a new era In Boston. >
The great teams with which Frank
Selee gave Boston her last two National
League remnants are now scattered far
and WIDE Three OF the once famous in
field still remain in fast company. Ten
ney will be with the Giants next season.
Jimmy Collins is rounding out his career
in Philadelphia. and Bobby Lowe is De
troit's utility man. The fourth member
of that great inield was Herman Long,
who captained Toronto in 1906.
Another famous Boston player. Billy
Hamilton, is still in the game Hamilton
was n star outfelder and was considered
the best base runner of his day. He still
plays splendid bail in the New England
League. Last season Hamilton was beaten
out by Jesse Burkett for the batting
honors in the New England League. Other
members of the old Boston crew are play
ing minor league ball. Tenney is the only
one who is still a star. He was a young
ster in those days, having broken into the
National League in 1895. 1t is simply the
old story of the survival of the fttest.
Tenney has always been a player Of clean
habits and an advocate of the simple life.
That is why he is still a great player. He
is remarkably steady and careful, and
seldom misses a half dozen games a sea-
son.
Tho wno remember the exciting IN
cidents of the struggle between the Ameri-
can ard NATIONAL Leagues for prestige
will recall that Tenney was n of the
National League stars who steadfastiy
refused to cast his lot with the new
league. The Boston team was rlddled by
he raiders, who took such great players
as Collins. Stahl, Long, Dineen, Young
and Criger. Tenney turned down a rich
offer to jump to the Detroit club. Victor
Willis was another who stuck

for their penurious policies, were moved

CLARK u BEATEN.
Noted New York Basketball Team Taken
into Camp by Nationals.

At the National Turn Verein court in
Bruce street yesterday afternoon the
National Turner'S defeated the much-touted
Clark House junior team, of New York. by
a score of q to y. The defeat of the vis-
itors was due to the remarkably good
work of the National Turner's guards.
They covered their men so we'll and
blocked SO quickly that the New York
forwards couldn't do anything in the line
of shooting. On the other hand, Drifting
and Charter did some good shooting for
the home team. So close and fast was the
game hat the visitors could only get 3
points in the first period and the Turner'S
could secure but u. The last half was
even faster. Both hves played their best
game. and their foot work, team work
and all around playing was well nigh per-
feet. So evenly were the fives matched
in this half, after the visitors mad put in
a couple OF subs that both teams Sc
cured nine points. Following was the line

D0MINlCANS WIN.
Defeat University Settlement Five Be-
fore a Large Crowd.

A crowd estimated at 700 packed Domini-
can Hall last night and saw the Domini-
can A. A. basketball team defeat the much
talked of University Settlement quintec II
New York by a score of % to "A. The
visitors before the game demanded that
rosin be rubbed over the floor so that its
slippery surface would not have any effect
upon the fast foot work of the players.
The visitors were outplayed in every de-
partment of the game in the first half;
also In the second half, except for the Inst
five minutes. They played phenomenal
ball in these five minutes. and their abrl-
ity came up to expectations. II was TOO
late, however. TO rally us the Dominlcsns
had already secured Il lead by the hardest
kind of playing. HeGningor, Conlon and
tho rest of the Dominicans played the
game of their lives, and II was certainly
appreciated.
After battling for twenty minutes and
going through the hardest kind OF work
the score was 10 to 4 In the home players
favor. This lead of six points was grad
ually increased ms the second half pro-
crossed, and before the visitors knew what
was going on the home players were
about fourteen points to the good. With
only five minutes to play the visitors
tried to rally, but 1t was too late, as the
Dominieans decided to stick, and stick
they did. with good effect. Following was
the lineup:

New rules were played In the final half,
and the visitors put some life In the game.
Many fouls were called on the home pay

unfamiliarity with the rules, but this all
was discounted by the magnificent team
work displayed by the Acmes. AT times
they did nothing but pass the ball around.

U TIE GAME.
Clan Mcleod Beats Out McDonald's
Eleven by One Game.

Eleven by One Game.
In the third round of the American foot
ball cup competition the members of the
Clan Mcleod Association football eleven,
of Jersey City, defeated their rival clans
men. the McDonalds, of Brooklyn, at Now
West Sido Park, the Jersey City Eastern
League Baseball Clubs grounds, yesterday
afternoon, by a score of 3 goals to .. The
game was witnessed by an excited crowd
of five hundred Scotchmen, who shouted
and cheered for thefr favorites during the
entire contest. which was a~red-hot battle
from beginning to end. The result of the
game was a great surprise to most of those
present, as it was expected the Brooklyn
clansmen. who have been doing good work
in the National League series this season,
would triumph over eheir Jersey City RI
walls. The McLeods deserve great credit
for their victory. They played an aggres-
sive game all the way and did what their
opponents failed to doAtook advantage of
the chances to score which came their
way.
The McDonalds played cleverIy In the
open. but at shooting for goal their for
wards were decidedly off, and this cost
them the game. By winning yesterday the
Mcleod eleven qualified to enter the semi
final round of the cup competition.
The Mcleod clever was late in getting
on the field and was obliged to play for
the first ten minutes with nine men. This
handicap didn't seem to worry them any,
however. and Scott scored their first goal
five minutes from the start. The Brooklyn
men kept working lard and fifteen min
utes later tied the score, Russell sending
the ball through. Danny" Mcneil was
prominent with some clever work on the
McDonalds' forward line and several times
looked like scoring, but he usually stuck
to the ball too long, thus spelling many
opportunities to add TO his teams score.
The McDonalds' fullbacks-Harper and
Prosser-defended strongly and saved re-
peatedly for the Brooklynites.
Gillett. after a good run by the Mcleod
forwards, put his team in the lead by
scoring another goal, and the Jersey City
elan went wild with delight.
Shortly before half time Mcneil looked
like scoring for Mcdonald, but his shot
was cleverly saved by Robertson, the Jer-
seg City goalkeeper. At half time the
score stood: McLeods, 2 goals; McDon-
aids, 1.
Both teams continued to fight desperately
in the second half, but in spite of the
many fierce attacks on their goal, the Nc
Leeds held their advantage for twenty
five minutes. Boath, the McLeods' right
fullback, was responsible for the MeDon-
aids second goal. Grant sent in a long
shot from the left wing. Boath failed to
land ON the ball %squarely, it CHANGING off
his foot through the goal.
The McLeods were evidently out to win
and played harder thai ever. -Four min
utes from the finish a splendid combined
run by the Jersey City forwards resulted
in Scott sending through the third and
winning goal, the goalkeeper having no
| chance to save. 1t was now all over but
the shouting, the McLeods managing to
hold their lead to the end.
