BIG PARADE TO CELEBRATE
VICTORY OF THE PIRATES.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Today
will be celebration day. The victory of
the Pirates over the Tigers will be a
local holiday, eliminating in a street
parade at night. Mayor William A.
Magee has sanctioned the celebration
by issuing a proclamation calling on
the athletic clubs and civic organiza-
lions to get in line down town and
march to Forbes Field. The right of
the line will be taken up by the vic
torious players in uniform. Colonel
Albert j. Logan, the Eighteenth Regi-
mbent, N. G. p, has been appointed
chief marshal.
At Forbes Field a stand will be
erected in the. centre of the field. and
the players will be presented with their
checks by Barney Dreyfuss. Mayor
Magee has invited as guests Presidents
Johnson, Heydler. Garry Hermann and
other league magnates.
The Adams" cocktail was invented
in Babe Adams's honor by a saloon-
keeper yesterday afternoon, and the
drink got in its insidious work as
Adams did on the Detroit batters.
Some tw~enty-seyen men were lined up
before Magistrate Noble Matthews
this morning in police court. Each de-
PENDANT pleaded that he had become in
toxicated by a new drink named the
Adams cocktail. Judge Matthews,
being somewhat of a FAM considered
the excuse a legal one, and discharged
his prisoners without even a repri-
mand.
On the train from Detroit bringing
the Pittsburg rooters and the Pirate
crew to Pittsburg, Johnny Harris
started a fund for Pitcher Adams with
500. By the time the train reached
Pittsburg 5000 had beer subscribed. The
news was telegraphed to Pittsburg,
and by midnight the contributions had
been increased to $500. 1t is expected
that a purse of 81. 900 will be sub
cribed by tonight n will be pre-
sented to the '"Babe" at Forbes Field
after the parade.

while Chip Harenburg in left made a
couple of neat catches. Albright's hit
ting was especially timely, and his
fielding at first was first-class. Coach
Arthur Irwin, who was with the Yanks,
commented favorably upon the Ironside
captains work.
The Yanks seemed able to hit only
for doubles. the high wind, which made
judging fly balls difficult, being chiefly
responsible. though one or two of their
smashes might have been good for
homers II it were not for the ground
rules. The New Workers. only got a
few more hits than did the Ironsides,
and Manager Casey has no cause to be
ashamed of their showing. 1t is prob
able thai the management will secure
the Giants for the attraction next Sun
day, and 1t Is said that the manage
ment is seriously considering a plan
to install a steam heating apparatus
so that the team can play baseball all
winter.
Joe Harter, who will be given a try
out by the Washington Americans next
season, had home-plate stolen in the
fifth inning, but Albright, who was at
bat. had two strikes on him at the
time, and as the ball was dead on he
had to swing. He fouled, the crowd
howled, and Joe went back to third
and growled, but a moment later he
got a line single to centre, scoring two
runs, and the incident was forgotten.

ABOLISH HAMMER THROW.

RICHMOND, Ind. Oct. 1S.-What is
considered a forward step in athletics
has been taken by the Indiana High
School Athletic Association. This is
the decision to abolish the hammer
throw, on the ground that it is dan
gerous. This action comes as the re-
suit of numerous accidents connected
with this event, at least II of which in
this State has proven fatal. There is
also a sentiment In favor of abolish
ing the mile run, but this will not be
lone at the present time. Promoters of
high school athletics in this State be-
lieve 1t is only a matter of a short
time until the hammer throw will be
lone away with everywhere.

The defeat of Stanley Ketchel by
Johnson was a surprise to Eastern
sporting men in that the negro cham
pion displayed such remarkable skill.
strength and agility. While II was
hardly expected here that Ketchel
would whip Johnson, it was believed
that the result would be different.
Sporting authorities now. agree that
johnson has been under estimated
rather than that Ketchel was over
estimated. and that Jeffries has a
much more difficult problem with which
to contend than was known before the
Ketchel fight. The ~onsensu of opinion
here is that Jeffries' vulnerable point
will be his wind. which 1t is feared has
not improved through five years of

larger scores han had generally been
looked for in beating Sewanee and the
Army. The Navy caught a Tartar in
Villa Nova and was soundly beaten,
while Harvard, although scoring freely

second half, 1t being shown again that
the Crimson is deficient in first-class
substitutes. Pennsylvania was scored
on and worried somewhat by a fast
Brown team, although not as strong "a
one as that of 1908.
PRINCETON, Oct. 1s.-Confidence in
the football team is prevalent in orange
and black circles today, not only be-
cause of the good showing of the team
in the contest Saturday, but because
the team seems to have found itself
and to have made an suspicious start
on the last lap of training for the final
struggle with Yale. Then, too, it is
expected that M~acFadyen, the 245-
pound line man. will be returned to the
lineup today for the first time in sew
eral days, and Bergen. who distin-
guished himself Saturday, will be put
permanently into the position of quar-
terback.
Yale has a good team, a we'll balanced
one, fast and aggressive, powerful In the
attack and sturdy in the defense, and
after the game with West Poin on Sat-
urday it is easy to say that Captain
Coy's eleven will be a better and a
stronger one than the team that too
the field in the final games a ear ago.
OF course, form on October Is and on
November Is are of necessity vastly diff
ferent. But the words of an old Har-
ward player, after Saturdays game,
summed up the situation fairly well
when he said: THAT Yale team is just
about as good as it ought to be at this
time of year. The team is strong on
the defensive. It's attack individually
is excellent, The line Is speedy, much
speedier tina the same men were a year
ago. and aggressive. too. It's scoring
ability on Saturday vas hardly repre-
scented by three touchdowns. Two would
have been nearer the mark, for individ-
ual work, which mo be safely relied
upon later, played a big part, but the
team did all 1t was asked to do.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 18.-Har-
ward meets Brown, her first strong foot
ball opponent, next Saturday. and secret
practise in preparation for a hard strug-
gle was resumed today. The coaches
will leave no stone unturned in their
efforts to place the strongest eleven pos
sibie on the field against the Brunon-
ians. The line will receive the coaches
attention.
The men work well individually, blu
fail to see the value of concentration.
Fisher and Mckay both play too high d
game to successfully cope with the at

Jack Johnson made more money out
of his victory ove Stanley Ketchel at
Colma. Cal, on Saturday than he did
out of the three fights he had with
Tommy Burns, philadelphia Jack"
O'Brien and AL kaufman, the Califor-
MIA pugilist.
For putting Ketchel away he drew
down exactly $26, 200. including the side
bet of $4,000. Ketchel, for losing, got
IS, 1900, which. minus the $4,000 side bet,
only brings his end to $1,000.
The gross receipts of the battle
amounted to $50, 200, which is the largest
amount that has been taken in on q
fight in California in many years. The
receipts would have been much larger
but for the fact that at least FIVE thou
sand persons were turned away for the
lack of room.
Owen Moran, the English feather
weight, will arrive here today from
England on the steamship Celtic. The
little fighter is coming over to get on
another battle with Abe Attell for the
featherweight championship Of the
world. Owen is confident he can
beat "Abe.' and as Attell is anxious
to fight him again the indications are
that JON Coffroth will match them to
fight at Colma, Cal.
Joe Thomas has changed his mind
about going to Paris to meet Willie
Lewis. Joe is engaged to marry the
sister of Jimmy Gardner, the New
England welterweight, In January, and
as his intended bride objected to his
going to ''gay Paree,"s Thomas imme-
diately called off the trip, and instead
will remain in this country. where he
will engage in battles in Philadelphia,
Boston and other places.
There will be a battle between promi-
nent heavyweights at Houghton, Mich,

gilist, and Mike Schreck. the Cincinnati
slugger. will be the principals. They
clash for ten rounds for go per cent.
of the gross receipts, of which the win
ner will get rs and the loser 25. Barry
will probably win out, as he is too
strong and fast for Schreck.
At the National Sporting Club of
London tonight Freddie Welsh and
Johnny Summers. the clever English
lightweights, will battle twenty rounds
for the legitimate lightweight cham
pionship of England. a purse Of $500,
a side bet of 81. 1000 and a gold belt
which has been offered by Lord Ions
dale to the winner. Welsh Is the ia
vorite In the betting at odds of 10 to Z.
The bout has aroused more interest
thar any fight that has come off at
that club In years.
Immediately after the fight between
Jack johnson and Stanley Ketchel at
Colma, Cal, on Saturday, Joe Wood
man. manager of Sam Langford, sent
a challenge to Johnson, offering to
match Langford against him in a
twenty or twenty-five-round battle for
the largest purse offered. Woodman
says he will MAKE johnson a. side bet
of $4,000 on the result of the battle II
Johnson will consent to meet Lang
ford.
