Brown II; Bates 0.

Providence, Oct. Grown easily
defeated Bates today II to 0. The
Brown eleven was considerably heavier
than the team from the Maine college
and only twice was Bates able to make
first down on rushes. The visitors
made some gains on trick plays. Two
of Browns touchdowns came on
plunges through the line in which High,
the new fullback, carried the ball. The
third came when Keaney of Bates
fumbled in rushing the ball from his
own goal line and Ayler fell on the ball
for a touchdown. Spreckling of Brown
made a pretty run of 60 yards. Keaney
of Bates tried for two field goals, but
failed.

ing contest on the Yale football telo
this afternoon, won by Yale IL to u.
Both teams except in the latter part OF
the second half played listlessly owing
to the extreme heat
Both of Yale's scores were made in
the first half and in the first minute
of play it looked as though Yale would
score at once. Philbin and Messenger
rushed the ball to the five-yard line
but when given it to carry over Mes
sengcr dropped it. After Holy Cross
had surrendered by punting Messenger
made a 10-yard gain which was dupli-
Gated by Field and Philbin took the
ball around the end 35 yards for a
touchdown. Hobbs kicked the goal.
The second touchdown was made after
Yale had been held for downs. SHED
had to punt and the punt was blocked
by Hobbs who scored and then kicked
the goal In the second half Yale was
unable to score. Sweeney of Holy

BONUS MONEY MAKES
SOME RED MEN HAPPY

Cincinnati, Oct. 6-When the Reds
were paid off for the final two weeks
Of their seasons work, several of them
found something more in their stock
ings than their regular pay. For there
were three or four members of the
team who had bonus clauses in their
contracts, by which they were to re-
ceive additional money if they did Ger
tain things during the year.
Practically all these bonuses were
collected except that of Bob Spade, who
failed to win so per cent. of his games
by a margin of one victory. The one
player who had his salary raised dur
ing the season was Harry Gaspar.
whose good work made hit with Man
ager Griffith, especially as his original
contract did not call for a particularly
large amount.

BILL COUGHL|N EXPECTS
TIGERS TO SHOW UP WELL,

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Oct. 6.-Bill
Coughlin captain and manager of the
Detroit team in two worlds series, who
is in this city, compared the Detroit
and Pittsburg teams. He said:
Il think Detroit is stronger this year
than ever before. Delehanty has add
ed considerable strength to the infield
and Tom Jones, though not as good a
hitter as Rossman, is a steadier play
err Bush is, of course, a real wonder,
and Moriarty seems to play third base
like a veteran.
Detroit has a better outfield than
Pittsburg has. / think, however, the
Pirates infield is a trif1e the better.
Gibson will be better than either Stan
age or Schmidt, but in the twirling de-
partment, provided Donovan, Summers
and Mullin are in good shape, Detroit
will bother Clarke's team just as much
as Pittsburg's pitchers will worry De-
troit 1 do not say Detroit will win,
but I look for my old teammates to
make a better showing than they did
the last two years
