BABE ADAMS TELLS HOW
HE FOOLED TIGER BATTERS.

Plttsburg, Penn, Oct. 1S.-"My sue
cess In pitching can be attributed to the
SLOW drop ball. said Charles Babe
Adams. l discovered in the first game
that the Detroits could not hit this
KIND of ball to any extent. When
they would connect it would be for n
short hit to the infield, and Pttsblrg
has an infield which can take care of
such hits.
The slow drop | alternated first out
ana then in. 1t went to the outside of
the plate, beyond the reach of the bat
Ter, but, if he was within hitting dis
lance the ball was slow and its slow
ness caused a false estimate of strength
required from the batter. In such quick
feats of batting a false estimate is a
dangerous thing for the batting side
Inc ball which went inside of the plate
and dropped at the same time was the
most effective I used. Detroit could do
nothing with that at all.
But L did not overwork the drop ball
To do so would have been to lack con-
troll. Gibson sized up the batters and
we knew when it was safe to put them
straight over the plate. Detroit has a
good batting aggregation and it was
necessary to take every precaution with
them"

BOWDO!N ATHLETICS.
Cross Country Run With Tufts Nov.
1o-Sophomore Freshmen Meet.

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 1S.-(SpeciaD.
If the negotiations which are now
going on with the Tufts track man.
agement are completed as they are eX-
pected to be, the annual cross country
run between Bowdoin and that college
will take place on the afternoon of
Friday, Nov. 10, the day before the
Tufts football game. Both teams are
accustomed to running in the after
noon and will be more at home then
than in the morning; moreover, the
men will have a chance to rest up to be
ready to go into Portland for the foos-
ball game the next day. The race is
to be started and finished with turn
around the track and the band will
be on hand at the field where slight
admission is to be charged.
A good sized squad is running daily
under the direction of Track Coach
Morrill, and Captain Goliath of the
Varsity track team, from three to five
miles being run daily. The following
are among the most promising Of the
men out: Goliath, 10; Robinson, 10;
Slocum, 10; Morss, 10; Cary, 10.
Skilin. IL; Curtis, II: Hine, II;
Timberlake, ~; Howe, II; Cressey,
II; Halves, II, and Hall, 10. Five
men will represent Bowdoin in the race
and for this number. Goliath, Robin
son, Slocum and Morss will make a
very strong bid as they ran on the
cross country team last year and it
is for fifth man and the alternate that
the struggle will be Cary, who was
alternate on last years team, is rum
ming well this fall and should make a
strong bid for regular position, Hall,
a Freshman, who has considerable
reputation as Marathon runner, IS
also showing up well.
The track meet between the Sopho-
moreS and Freshmen will take place
Oct. %, if the weather is
favorable. The meet will be run as a
regular college meet with officials and
good preparations instead of being a
farce as the attempt Of last year was.
While no class trophy is to be given,
there will be badges for the winners
and numerals will be awards for those
first, second or third place.
AS the rivalry between the classes is
especially keen this year and both have
good track material among their num-
Der, the meet should be a good one

Ted Coy could not have been given a
more rouslng sendoff on his first ap-
pearance in actual football this year
mad he been on Yale field Saturday in
stead of on the Army parade. Coy says
he's all right and he looks it, He took
no chances carrying the ball in the
Army game, but he showed up the
weakness of the blues other kickers
in manner that leaves no doubt of
what Yale would lose should Gov not
be in line for the big games.

COY SAYS THERE is MOTH
ING THE MATTER WITH HIM.

New Haven, Oct 1S.-The Yale foot
ball squad came out of the game
against West Point Saturday in as
good condition as they went in ex-
cept Johnson, the quarterback, who is
suffering from a bad sprain. The Yale
coaches are delighted with the game
put up in the second half after Capt
Coy went in and are congratulating
themselves that the fullback captain
came out unhurt.
The report that Coy went in against
the wishes Of the coaches is erroneous.
The only agreement was that he was
not going into q, close scrimmage and
the agreement was kept except when
Coy made one tackle
Hobbs came out of his strenuous
game against Capt. Pullen in first class
shape. Saturdays game showed
Vaughn up to be one of Yale's best
ENDS and he will be one of the regulars
probably with Fitzpatrick, who is fast
or than Logan. Brooks and Savage
both did we'll and solve the problem
for ends for two years to come.
Capt. Coy stated that from now on
ne would be the regular fullback on the
varsity unless some one showed great
er ability. He said that he felt fine and
that there is absolutely nothing the
matter with him. He will assume the
active captaincy of the team and prob
ably Logan will be Immediately re-
placed by Vaughn.
