and the substitutes.
Yale's line defense was strong and
her tackling hard There was evidence
OF fundamental experiences. and also
crudities not altogether pleasing 20 the
coaches. Yale made nine less points
against Wesleyan than a year ago.
Pennsylvania beat Ursinus easily
enough. though scoring only once in the
second half. The substitutes there, as
at New Haven. didn't play any too well

Reform Will Put Stop to Home
Runs When Ball Bounds

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. 1.-Formal
protest viii be made at the next
annual meeting of the American
League concerning the grounds of the
Detroit and Washington clubs. The
arrangements of these are such that
several of the visiting clubs have suf-
fered because the home grounds were
different from the ordinary.
In both Detroit and washington the
FIRST and third base pavilions are not
protected by wire screens. Often a
high thrown ball has hit the surface
IN foul territory and bounded intp the
stands while the base runner completed
the circuit This has cost several close
games, and as a result the Cleveland
club owners will file a formal protest
that the grounds be uniform in al
cities.
Already the baseball authorities are
discussing the possible changes in the
playing rules for next season, although
the present season is not completed
But one reasonable change seems tc
present itself, and that IS reducing the
number Of balls which entitle a bats
man to his base TO three There has
been such a thorough demand for In
creased batting both from spectators
and baseball critics that some revision
OF rules is not at all Improbable. Il
the changes do not come this season
they surely will next year.
",rhe size Of the grounds Will not bt
changed" declared a well-Snown base
ball authority. You see the diamonds
are now constructed around the stands
and bleachers. and to do anything Will
the playing surface we would have e
make alterations IN the stands and
other seats. That would involve
vast sum Of money, and I am sure thu
magnates would consider no sucI

how Sir Joseph manages to hold IN

In view OF the fact that the team

Four times in the same place.


The Nationals pulled out from De-
troit last evening a sadder and wiser
bunch by the score OF. Z to s. ..-.--
An inability TO make hits count for
runs was the trouble again yesterday.
On the day before sixteen bingles were
far too few 10 win, and yesterday the
same condition prevailed Stupid base
running seems to have been a factor in
the outcome Of Tuesdays game, but that
does not apply TO yesterdays skirmish.
The natural peryerseness OF things
and the careful scattering Of hits where
they would be least dangerous was the
ailment yesterday.
Donovan, who pitched six weary in
nings for the Tigers. was by no means
in his best form although he held the
Nationals safe except IN the second and
sixth. He allowed Washington to tie
the score in the second by scoring two
runs. The Tigers, however, went after
that game with a rush In the fourth,
| scoring four runs. IL was not until the
sixth that the visitors could bunch
enough hits to develop a run, but IN that
| session they had the Tigers scared.
| Three runs were piled up and much 10
the discouragement Of the CantillOnites
Donovan was relieved by MuIlin. who
! held his opponents 10 two hits for the
rest OF the game.
Tannehm pitched a steady game
/ though he failed m several pinchcs-
After the game he stated that his arm
/ felt better than at any time this sea-
son, and this, in view of the fact that
| yesterdays contest was a difficult game
( from a pitchers viewpoint.
With the news that Tannehiu may re-
/ gain his pitching arm comes the dis
/ cOurag1ng report that Delehanty IS III
/ and will probably not play again this

The Nationals open In New York to-

| Yankees.
! On Monday they will be in our midst

for a bargain-day performance on

An extraordinary scene took place in
tho Princess theater, London, on the
night q the Arst production Of Charles
Rea0e's great play, "Never Too Late
to Mend" Oct. 4. 1895. During the
prison scene Z large quantity Of water
Was thrown over Miss Moore. who took
the part Of Josephs. the character done
to death by the warders. One Of the
critics, Mr.. TOmlin Of the Morning Ad-
veetisef. rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost riot
among the audience. and the action Of
the play was stopped for some con-
siderable time. Fuel was added to the
IRE BY George vining. the lessee Of the
theater, who was playing the part of
Tom Robinson and who made a. most
imprudent speech. In which he prac-
tically insulted every critic present.
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play. however
turned out to be a popular success
and had. for those days. the phenom-
email run of 40 performances.
