STRENUOUS WORK
FOR PENN SQUAD

PHILADELPHIA. October 2.-Penn's
foot ball candidates were put through the
most strenuous practice Of the season yes
terday afternoon, the scrimmage lasting
until the moon came up. The coaches en-
deavored to point out the mistakes made
by the players in the game Wednesday.
and to a certain extent we're successful.
While the varsity did not have any trou-
BILE in carrying the ball, making four
touchdowns against the scrub during the
scrimmage, yet the linemen were away off
their defensive game. the scrub gaining
ground almost at will against the varsity.
Finally the freshman team were lined up
and given the ball on the varsity's five
yard line. and with the help Of Coach
Longwell and Ralph Harcourt, the former
Swarthmore halfback, the freshies carried
the ball across the varsity's line four
times The coaches then became dis
gusted with the varsity's line. and sent
the men to the gym, thus ending the long
scrimmage.
Quite a few of the first team players
who were worked hard in the Ursinus
game Wednesday were given a rest from
yesterdays scrimmage. Keinath and Big
Bill Hollenbach both rested from the
scrimmage yesterday. only taking the
usual signal practice.
Upton Favorite and Hollenbach spent
the early part of the afternoon punting

BITTER FIGHTS FOR
BASE BALL PENNANT IS
New York's Lead Made Inse-
cure by Dividing Two Games
With the PhiIlies.

The base ball situation in both the Ma
tional and American Leagues is still in
the acute stage. The pennant still hangs
in the balance and the fight in both
leagues may not be decided until the final
contests. There was no change In lead
ership yesterday. In the National League
New York divided a double attraction
with the PhiIlies. winning the first con-
test by a score of to and losing the
second engagement to ?.
The National leaders were extremely
fortunate in capturing the first game.
Mathewson. the star pitcher of the base
ball armament was hit hard in the early
part of the contest. and but for an ex-
tremely disastrous first inning by the
Quakers the Giants would have gone
down to double defeat and their pen
nant aspirations received an almost ir
reparable shock. In the latter part of the
game. however. Mathewson struck his
normal stride and the Phillies we're I'M
able to score after the fourth inning.
In the second game the leaders never
had q chance for victory. For the second
time in three days they fell before the
prowess of Covelaski. the giant left
handed recruit Of the Quakers. who held
them safe in all but the sixth inning.

There was no change In the American
League. 1t was an open date for. the
western clubs, among which the fight is
being waged. Today's results among the
four American League clubs may have
an important bearing on the champion
ship, as Detroit is leading Cleveland by
only four points.
A victory for Cleveland and a defeat for
the leaders would mean an exchange Of
positions by these clubs. Only the east

suits made no impression on the pennant
situation. The standing of the three lead

Athletics Defeat Boston.

BOSTON, October Fiddle Plank had
the high sign on Boston yesterday after
noon in the first game of the last series OF
the season, and the Athletics won easily,
) to 2. With the exception of the fourth
inning, when he gave base on balls fol-
lowed by a wild pitch, which paved the
way for Boston's two runs, the tall, left
handed finger would have scored shut
out. The Athletics found Morgan's usu-
ally deceptive benders very much to their
liking and with. the help of three errors
gathered five runs, three In the first in
ming and two in the last.
Manager Mack used nearly all of his
and switched his infield around
SO as to be hardly recognizable and the
new makeup worked like a charm. RUDE
Oldrng, who cavorted around in left field
trying to emulate the example of Topsy
Hartsel, found one of Lords line drives
too hot to handle and graciously allowed
the ball to drop from his hands, but Lord
was caught stealing and the error count
ed for naught This was the only error
recorded against the f1elders, the battery
errors of Plank and Lapp. namely, a wild
pitch and a passed ball, being the other
