With the exception Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth innings Morningstar led
throughout the nights play. At the end
of the seventeenth inning the score was

inning Morningstar made Al by a labored

of skill and offset 1t by bad Judgment.

The decision to abandon the fall races
was reached only after 1t was found to
be a hopeless task to get enough men
out to fill the boats, and 1t was With
much regret that Coach Dempsey finally
consented to let the event go over. 1t
was almost certain last week that such
a course would have to be followed. as
no shell has been launched for the last
six days. Before that time two or three
Fights went out daily. and the members
Of these looked pretty husky. but the
disadvantage was that with one excep-
ton none of the classes was represented
by eight men.
The freshman class was the only one
that turned out with full quota, the
first-year men under the leadership of
Capt. Brady being in position to form
very speedy eight on short notice.
Many of these are men who have had
experience in the prep school. while some
of the new lads at the institution are big
fellows who look as though they pos
sess plenty of strength to handle the
sweeps.
The postponing Of the event will mean
that classy affair will be run of in
the spring. Capt. Cunniff Of the varsity
is already at work enrolling his candi-
dates, and practice on the machine will
begin Immediately after the Christmas
holidays. 1t Is expected that the num-
berS in the crew squad at the start will
rival the numbers of the present foot
ball squad, in which case it will mean a
great boost in aquatics at the school.

he does not sidestep any Of them. He
just wades in and meets them"
George Winter, former Tiger pitcher,
Two years ago caused a sensation by
declaring that he had found Lajoie's
weak spot. George said that ball knee
high and on the inside of the plate was
the kind that Larry did not like and that
ne would be more apt to fail to hit that
be pitched to him. If any pitcher took a
hint and tried to fool Larry in that way
ne gained nothing by 1t; at least Lajoies
batting average fails to reveal it.
Those Batting" Eyes.
Larry's eyes. Are they to Lajoie what
hair was to Samson? Many believe SO.
These eyes are spoken of as the most
wonderful batting optics in the world to-
day"
They are remarkable eyes. Keen is
the sight of Lajoie. Walk along the
street with him and he will tell you that
some one with whom he is acquainted is
coming toward you.
GLOW do you know" would be the
probable question in response to his re-
mark.
Larry would point out a figure to you
TWO or three blocks away. And he would
not miss his guess. Probably no other
ball player could do the same thing.
His Pose at Bat.
At bat Lajoie is delight to any eye
that loves to see ball game. In easy,
care-free, lazy sort of manner he
saunters up to the plate, draws a line or
two and waits.
When Larry sees a ball coming that he
wants to meet he steps forward Into
the ball He does not take long swing
but short jab. sort OF jolt, and
away she goes to left, center or right or
somewhere between these fields
He puts force and weight behind those
blows. He never becomes excited and
pitchers do not work him. If they pre-
fer to "cut the corners Larry reaches
out and meets them just the same. The
only thing he demands is that the ball
comes within reach.
Hard to "Dope" Him.
Fielders can never tell just where
Lajoie will hit. They tell of an incident
that occurred here while Bill Coughlin
was still on the team.
Bill was playing third. Larry was at
bat.
PLAY in Bill, he's going to bunt," adj
vised Jennings. And Coughlin played in.
Larry 'bunted' the ball to left field
fence. Coughlin saved his life by falling
as Lajoie stepped into the ball, and Bill
discovered that Hughie was mistaken.
The next time Larry came to bat Jen-
nings again advised Coushlin to play for
a bunt.
You go to blazes.' yelled Coughlin, and
ran back to. the grass. This time Lajoie
sma shed the ball over SchaefeI's head for
double.
Jealous of Him.
Napoleon causes most of the fielders
who play against him to play ION the
grass" They don't care to take chances
of having their limbs crippled by playing
close in and taking one of those Lajoie
-SmaShes.
Before he became a ball player Lajoie
drove cab Some players who have
never been able to get above the 30
batting mark for the season are mean
enough to remark that Lajoie developed
his sight by counting the members OF the
insect kingdom that lived In the name OF
the animal Maybe he did. If So. IL
would he a good plan to employ re"
weary nags in the spring training camps.

LARRY.

Counting this season, Larry
has hit below 800 in only two
seasons of fifteen on the dia-
mond. For eleven consecutive
years he batted between .32S and

class for the first time, and by
margin of / point. In 1908 he
batted $50.

the stick was in 1901, when he
batted .422. He was at bat 4SS

on the field in citizen dress. He will not
get into game before Brown is played.
The team meets Franklin and Marshall
today in what will be the last midweek
game Of the season. The visitors are
coached by Frank Mount Pleasant. the
famous Carlisle Indian player, and are
reported to be past masters In the use OF
the forward pass. Pennsylvania, how
ever, does not look for any trouble.
The coaches are most concerned as to
the disposition they shall make of their
back field players. The splendid playing
of Mercer makes it evident that he will
be the best Of the lot; but places must be
found for Ramsdell and Hutchinson, and
1t is expected that as soon as the team
is settled the back field will be composed
of 4Aercer Ramsdell. Scott and Hutchin-
son, a quartet of tremendous speed.
The varsity beat the scrubs by two
touchdowns. The regulars lined up as
follows: Kaufman. left end; Dillon, left
tackle: Wolfert. left guard: Miller, cen
ter; Elder, right guard; Morris, right
tackle; Marks, right end; Scott. quarter
back; Mercer, left halfback; Harrington,
right halfback, and Sommer, fullback.
Old Game for Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, October John
Cutler was in charge of the Harvard
foot ball squad yesterday in the absence
of Haughton, the head coach. The team
played straight old-fashioned foot ball,
and scored two touchdowns and a goal
from placement against the second team.
The touchdowns came on good line plays
after the recovery Of onside kicks, and
the goal was kicked by Ted rockingham
from the 35-yard line.
Wendell got into the pay for the first
time. and his work in the back field was
promising. It's certainty now that Mi
not will be kept in the rush line.
Although Corbett was out again, he did
not enter the scrimmage, and he will not
get into the Williams game. at the start,
at least. His place will be taken by
Campbell, who is perhaps the fastest
runner on the squad, although much
lighter than the veteran.
Much work was done on new plays be-
hind the fence. and the Williams game
may be expected to develop a few new
wrinkles.

DETROIT, October Sat Detroit to-
day Larry Lajoie and Ty Cobb will con-
tinue their duel for the batting honors

and the nervous southerner.
This contest between Larry and Ty Is

do base ball followers ask, Did the Ath-
letics VIM or did the Cubs win to-
day?' or Did our home team land one?'
but it is How many hits did Ty make
today?" or How many hits for Larry
In ST. Louis Saturday Ty played in
tough luck He made one hit out of
three times up. He was robbed of two
by base ball luck. Larry made three hits
out of four times at bat. This Saturday
performance gave Lajoie a lead of nine
points.
But Sunday Cobb had a big hand in
the Tigers batting spree in ST. Louis.
He made four hits in five times at bat.
He lifted himself to within one point OF
the Frenchman, who failed to make a
hit in three trips to the plate.

battle for the lead. The last time here

Lajoie this year regained his title of
king Larry
He did not play TO his best ability last
year, not that he did not try, but the
duties of manager and constant troubles
falling on him in that capacity handi-
capped him to such an extent that he
found it depressing on his playing.
With the duties of manager removed
from his shoulders this season, nothing
to worry about and nothing to keep in
mind but desire to hit and field, Lajoie
was able TO come back.
"Where's He Get ItP"
Many have tried to dope OUT how
Lajoie manages to get hits. He gets
them and there is no doubt about them.
They are smashing drives and they go to
right field. right-center, center field, left
center and left.
1t is impossible for fielders to Judge
where Lajoie will hit the ball. He does
not try to place hits, he just tries to
meet the ball.
II Lajoie has a bad day it does not
worry him. He is the same day in and
day out. He may hit unluckily for several
days in succession, but he loses no sleep.
"Put EN- Over and Hope"
Bill Donovan was at one time asked
what LajOie's weak point was.
I'LL tell you," replied William. when
Lajoie is at bat a pitcher had best put
the ball over the plate and trust to luck
If he means to hit it he will go after all
kinds, high low. wide, curve or fast ball.
