YALE SCRUB ELEVEN
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 24.-ogden
Mills Reid, son of Ambassador White
law Reid, Joined the Yale football
coaches yesterday afternoon to give aid
in developing a pair of end rushes.
Reid had several years training for
that position while in college.
Two features, n an accident and the
other good football, marked the day.
The first was a collision between an
automobile owned by Frank Plat, of
this city, and the football teams trolley
car. Joseph Bergman, of New York,
armorer of the eleven, was seated on
the car steps and was caught in the
crash that wrecked the automobile.
Bergman was severely bruised and was
carried to the hospital.
The other feature was the excellent
work by the scrub eleven In the first
scrimmage of the season. Aided largely
by Allan Corey's left-handed delivery
of long forward passes, the scrubs all
but scored once, and twice later forced
the varsity team to the six-yard line.

New York Players Dumb Play
Gives Chicago Chance
to Protest.
BY G. A. FALZER.

Just because n player, Merkle, was
possessed of the brains of a mummy,
and a Chicago man, Evers, was quick
witted enough to think at a critical
moment. the New York Nationals were
deprived of the sweets of victory in the
third game of the series with the Cubs
at the Polo grounds yesterday. The
Giants actually won the game, but
technically they didn't.
Here was an instance where brain
work. counted as much as action. 1t
was hard lines in a way for New York,
especially In view of the fact that the
possession of first place hung in the
balance. But, as aforesaid, the Giants,
or rather this man Merkle, didn't
play the game" and If a big league
club possesses a player who doesn't
know the rules Of baseball, or worse. II
he does know, and forgets to act ac-
cordingly in a crisis, that club deserves
to lose.
1t happened this way: The score was
tied at l to 1. when the Giants went to
| bat In the ninth inning. Seymour, the
first man up, popped out. Devlin sin
gled, but was forced by Mccormick.
There were now two out. AT this
stage Merkle. playing in place of Ten
ney, who was put Of the game with a
lame back. slammed the ball to right
field. Merklc was now on first and Nc
Cormick had hoofed 1t to third. pinch
hitter Bridwell lined a safety to CEN
tire. Mccormick scored from third
with the winning run and the game
| should nave been over, but.
And here was where the big hitch
came in. To complete the play, there
being two out, Merkle had to run to
second base. Instead, this "busher,"
the he saw that Bridwelfs
drive was a hit, threw his cap up in
the air and then made a bee-line for
the clubhouse. Now, according to the
rules, first base was occupied, as
| Merkle did not go to second. Conse-
quently Bridwelrs/ hit was not legal,
since the Cubs carried through a
force play at second, and the run DID
not count.
The qu~lck-witted Evers saw The OPP
portunity to save the game on this
technicality. He shouted to HOFFMAN,
and the centre fielder threw the bal to
second to make the play. Meanwhile
the Giants were running to the club
house and thousands of fans were
swarming over the field. A few of the
Giants realized the situation. McGin-

Miqhty Swatting of Newark
Club Brings Easy Victory
Home.

The Tigers were given a royal well
onle yesterday at Bloomfield when the
town shut up shop and went to the
oval to- see them play h town pets.
AS far as the game went it was a
good one, though the league experience
told and the snappy Bloomfield bunch
went q step too slow for the Tigers.
The final score was 10 to l in favor of
Staihngs's Bergals. Kid Mueller
pitched regular ball, and the Tigers did
not overlook a bet in the game. Tim
brook, the clever young pitcher of the
Bloomfield bunch, was not up to his
regular form, and the eaguers got
away to an early start which they
maintained until the end. Timbrook
was walloped for eleven hits in six
innings. The Tigers could no con-
meet with Taggart's offerings but three
times In two innings. Percy Reeves,
who went in in the seventh inning was
as wild as a March hare. In this ses-
sion the Newarkers collected six tai
lies, which put them on easy street.

TAFT MINT JULEP
COCKTAILS RIVAL

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. s.-A committee
representing the Virginia Bar Associa-
tion. which was in Washington for the
purpose Of extending an invitation to
Secretary Of War william Taft to address
the association at Virginia Hot Springs
in the summer, suggested to the Secre-
tary as an ihducement for him to come
to Virginia that he would be treated 10
real old Virginia mint juleps, rather than
Fairbanks cocktails, which remark
brought a response from President Roos'
welt, who also greeted the delegation, that
the Virginia julep, in his opinion, is far
more succulent and much less dangerous
to Presidential aspirations than the but.
tormnk concoction inaugurated by the
ce-President.
Now there is a rumpus in Virginia
among the prohibitionists and connois-
seurs. The prohibitionists are inclined to
the opinion that the bringing Of the aues-
ton of Intoxicating beverages into the
question OF a Presidential possibility is in
bad taste. The consensus Of opinion, how
ever, seems to be that the President and
Secretary are both men OF discriminating
tastes.
Members Of the Invitation Committee
say that while Taft will be unable TO
state his plans positively in regard to the
invitation until the latter part of the
week, the chances are that the julep in
ducement will be sufficient inducement
for him to arrange his dates so as to be
at the Springs when the Virginia Bar
convenes.

AS well balanced a show as the Gar
rick has presented this season enters
upon the last half of the week to-day.
Among the features that claim especial
attention are Mr.. and Mrs Perkins
Fisher. in 'The Half Way House" In
this act Mr. Fisher offers delightful
delineation Of rural comedy. Original,
witty, quaint and with a manner that
is seldom acquired except where en-
dowed by nature and surroundings.
Mr.. Fishers picture Of the rural hotel
keeper is faithfully presented. Cora
Youngblood Corson and her girls from
the West in a scenic musical novelty
come in for hearty applause at each
appearance. Miss Corson was at one
time leader of the Indian Reservation
Band. and is fully competent for the
present try for vaudeville honors. This
is the first appearance Of the act in
the East. Don. the pony, with a con-
ception of figures, furnishes a feature
that interests old and young alike.
