PENIS FOOTBALL
MEN At PRACTISE
Squad Training on Jersey
Shores Getting Ready for
Real Work.

ISLAND HEIGHTS, Sept. S.-With
but a handful of men present, only
the highest kind of work was done by
the candidates for the 1909 football
team of the University of PENNSYLVANIA
who are here. A light practise was
run through both yesterday morning
ard afternoon. Two large tents have
been erected on the barracks overlook
ing Barnegat Bay, and it will be on
these grounds that the preliminary
work will be held.
The men who were down yesterday
spent several hours in the morning, at
tired In light track regalia, punting and
catching the pigskin. Manager Clifford
Chester and Danny Hutchinson, quar-
terback on last years freshman team,
arrived late last evening and today
Braddock, Crooks, Young, Cozzens,
Marks, Irwin n Burns are expected.
These men constitute the most
promising material for the Red and
Blue gridiron team, and to these the
coaches, to a large extent, pin their
faith for c in the coming games.
Coach Smith stated today thai active
work, both morning and afternoon, will
begin today and that more strenuous
work will be started as soon as all of
the invited guests arrive.
The work for the time being will con-
slst of punting, catching and throwing
the pigskin. Quick starting and s~printing
will also be part of the work. 1t is the
intention of h coaches to divide the
squad into sides and strenuous halves
OF Association football will be played.
Everything will De done to increase the
wind capacity of the men, and at the
same time reduce any su%perfiuous flesh
which they may have gained during the
summer. Cross country jaunts will also
be part of the seashore practice. The
runs this week will be short, but Coach
Smith intends to increase them a mile
or more each day as the work pro-
crosses.
Word was received by Coach milford
that the Thayer brothers and Wallace
johnson would be unable to accept the
invitation to join the squad at the shore
on account OF the trial matches for the
varsity tennis team, but that they
would report at Franklin Field on Sep
TENDER Is. This is a great source of
satisfaction. es the Thayer boys are
considered the best punters and drop
kickers in the university. Regular
practise will be held here until Septem-
Der Is, at which time Coach Smith has
ordered all candidates for the team to
report on Franklin Field.

"A boy who can't throw las no bust

Doolin. of the Phillies, the other day
In a tanning bee. THAT is n place
where your arm must be. good. and
where you can't make out unless it's
1.-THE second baseman can get along
with only a fair whip, for the biggest
proportion of his throws are short and
he has plenty of time.
But the shortstop is getting balls
on both sides of him, and he must be
able to move the ball away fast and
hard in order to nail his man at first
base.
Three of his throws especially re-
quire speedy action.
IF he Is fielding a ball to the right
of him, one that takes him out on the
grass, he must fairly shoot the ball. IL
he is going over second for a hard
grounder he will naturally lose a little
time when he RECEIVERS himself ana
switches around to throw to first base,
and when he is coming in on a slow
bounder he must work lightning fast or
the runner will beat out the ball.
Owing to the importance of quick work,
| should say that the throw comes pretty
near to being the first requisite for the job.
1.-THE good thrower will be able to shoot
the ball from any position in which he
happens to get it.
"When you have to s~traighten up every
time and throw overland in every play,
you lose a lot of valuable time. The quick,
underhand snap saves many a valuable
fraction of a second and gets many a
runner who otherwise would be safe.
Study the batters and ind out where
to play for, each man.
ut is a mark of a poor shortstop-or,
for that matter, of a poor ball player-to
see him always standing in one spot. Ger
tain batters have a tendency to hit in
certain directions. and by playing for them
and knowing what kind of a ball your
pitcher is going to feed them. you can
often be In just the right position to make
a play.
"As a general rule. 1t is a good idea
for the shortstop to move over toward
third base when a left-handed batter is
at the bat, for most ~left-hauded hitters
have a habit of shooting the ball either
over the third base line or OF cutting a
fast srounder between third and short.
For the right-hander it is a good play
to go back to the regular position, for, If
he lands on the ball. he is more likely to
send II toward short or over second than
to whip 1t close to third.
practise long and carefully with your
second baseman and catcher on the art
of breaking up the double steal. The in
fielder has not many more important pieces
of work to do than this, for every time
the play fails it means a run for the
enemy, and considering the closeness with

Eastern League lots

That double Tiger victory yesterday
was a most timely one.
Benny succeeded in garnering seven
hits in nine times at bat.
Two doubles and a home run was the
result of George McConnell's work with
the biff-stick yesterday in the game
against Montreal.
Jersey City played like real cham
pions yesterday against Providence
and put a crimp in the pennant
aspirations of Hugh Duffy.
Rec Waller now appears to be in
winning form. When Waller is going
right there are few better pitchers in
the minor leagues.
The Tigers were mighty lucky to be
able to secure the services of a player
like Eddie Zimmerman after Harry
Wolverton was injured.
Iron Man McGinnity will probably
make a determined effort to land the
game for Newark today. Joe has been
pitching some excellent baseball on the
trip; In fact has been showing the
form which made him one of the
heroes of baseball. ~
Burchells Witness was fatal to the
Bisons' chances yesterday.
T~hirty-one hits in two games is not
half bad, Such games make the bat
ting averages grow fat.
Jimmy Slagle was in batting raj
ment yesterday, getting five hits in
the two games:
Buffalo has not yet unearthed a
shortstop who can supplant Natty Nat
tress.
A defeat for Rochester and another
victory for the Tigers today would
cause great joy among Newark fan
dom.
The Eastern League has no dare
devil b~ase-runners like Ty Cobb.
several Eastern League teams WOuic
like to secure Neil Sullivan, outfieldeI
of the Danville club of the Virginia
League.
With Gri1nshaw and Mitchell ir the
batting order the Toronto team looks
mighty nice as a batting aggregation,
Hughey Duffy now has an excellent
staff Of pitchers.
Billy Clymer still expects to win the
American Association pennant with his
Columbus team.
Hughey Duffy, of the Providence
team. will divide $1,5OO among the
players If they win the Eastern League
rennant.
Jersey City can be depended on to
make the Grays hustle at Providence.
Any major league club having a
player for sale can dispose of the afore-
said player by negotiating with John
CAMEL. John is there to spend his (?)
money in order to win the pennant.
Jack Dunn released Demmit. He also
released JEFF Pfeffer. Now Prefer is
going to the Chicago Nationals. Leave

There was about as much class to
the Watsessing and st. Benedict game

hit each. The one off the latter was a
homer by Curtis and was the only run
of the game.

Casey, you are there all right, but
why don't YOU give us a smile on
those pictures that are being taken.
Amt you satisfied with winning the

When the big Tigers return to this
city Casey will try to book a Sunday

Mr.. Mills in turn landed or one of

If it wasn't for errors Mills would

THE BEST
BY SEMI-pR0.

Now that the City League season Is
over the fans will be given another OPP
portunity to witness an important
series between the Ironsides and Ma
tional Turner's. The teams will play a
double-header Sunday. The morning
game will be played at West Side Oval
and the afternoon probably at Heldel-
berg Park.
The Turner's took the third league
game from the champs in easy style,
and it made Casey and his band of
warriors real mad, n the series was
arranged, Thu Nationals would have
finished better than third If they start
ed their stride pennant-ward earlier.
They won from the Ironsides, st. Bene-
diets and Tigers in a row and that is
evidence which is sufficient to show
that the champions will have to go
some to win. Both teams will probably
be strengthened for the series. Dan
Schooner has demonstrated that Casey
is not the only man on the Hill that
can run a baseball team. If he has
Tom Curley, Jimmy Bertwhistle, Kid
Schuman and other stars in the lineup
Bobby Knoth better beware.
Now that the Ironsides won the series
from Watsessing, and w%alloped Cald-
well by a big score and won from other
suburban teams 1t looks as though it is
up to Manager Dodd, of the Bloomfields
to say the word. Casey Is ready to
play the series.
George Watts is bach in town. He
may manage a Southern team next sea-
son. He relates many funny incidents.
One being as follows: A %youngster
named Smith, who halls from a Southern
college, who was being watched by big
league scouts, never kicked over a de-
cision. One day the manager of the
team posted Watts n old him that
Smith was going to kick just to show
the scouts hat he had the pepper.
Watts called the %youngster cut at third
and he rushed up to the big Newarker
n shouted: You big ton of beef you
are a story teller. I was safe by an
inch.'' Watts ordered Smith to the
bench and the manager and Watts had
a laugh.
Many believe Manager DAILY, of the
Watsessings, would do well If he would
engage a regular umpire instead of
having his players perform.
Eddie Uslar pitched some ball against
Watsessing Monday afternoon. In the
sixth inning with three on bases and
none down he finished the inning with
out allowing a run.
Many believe, Umpire Lynch, that
you erred in the eighth inning on what
