DUPONT LOWERS
CHAMPION FLAG
Gas Company Captures County
League Honor in Loosely
Played Game
THREE TROPHIES
FOR The WINNERS

dupont has struck the championship
colors to Wilmington Gas Company.
The flag lowered on Saturday after
noon when Gas Company copped the
second of the series of championship
games between the teams by to l
score. II was an easy victory for Gas
Company after the second inning,
when a series of errors by DOC"
Lucas, who was doing the receiving
for DUPONT, allowed Gas Company to
put two runs over the pan. Another
brace of DUPONT errors In the sixth
inning gave Gas Company two more
runs. 1t was the poorest exhibition
of the national game DUPONT has yet
put up.
Greenwell and Crouch again were
the opposing pitchers, and although
Crouch did lose he had a shade the
better of the twirling. The pitchers
broke even on the hits with four,
while Crouch famed seven to Green
wells FIVE. Crouch passed one man
and Greenwell two. Crouch's only
other evidence Of wildness was a
wild pitch which came at a time
when he seemed to be thoroughly dis
gusted with the support he had been
getting.
Aside from winning the champ
ionship honor Gas Company takes the
Stassfort, Foster and Reach trophies.
DUPONT had held the State champion
ship one year, the city championship
two years, and the county champion
ship one year. The league will meet
tonight to award the trophies.

RUNAWAY THRILLS
HORSESHOW CROWD
"-aly Babbie' Blue Ribbon
Winner, FriGhtenS Society
Folk While DaShing

Bryn Mawr Horse Show, which
closed on Saturday after a most sue
cesslul exhibition, treated its visitors
to some "thrillers," when Lady Bah
bic, thoroughbred bay mare, be-
aging to Miss Amy DUPONT, made a
spectacular runaway, which might
easily have resulted in her death.
Attached to light two-wheeled
cart, Lady Babbie was being exercised
by a groom, preparatory to entering
the ring Tor the ladies' harness class,
when she suddenly bOlted and started
OH a mad tear towards the club
house.
The grounds we're thronged with
ehicles lined up in the parking
places, and spectators held their
breath, expecting every minute to see
I ady Babbie collide with them.
Just before reaching the clubhouse
the groom, who was surviving with all
his might to guide the frightened ami
NAL into less dangerous path. drop
ped one of the lines Instantly realiz-
ing his imminent peril, he swung with
all his weight on the other line. The
sudden jerk caused the mare TO fall,
and the groom went flying yards be-
yond and dropped heavily TO the turf,
while the mare continued her Hight,
still attached to the splintered wagon,
which had been shattered In her
fall
u looked as II Lady Babbie had won
her last blue, as she headed straight
for the ring, around which runs a ter
race OF six or eight feet, ending in
graveled walk beyond. If the
blooded animal had continued her
frenzied flight one second longer, she
would have struck this decllvity, and
her career would have ended the same
instant.
Just at the psychological moment,
when everybody was gazing with hor-
ror at the spectacle, new factor ap-
peared on the scene, in the person Of
Officer Richnor, of the Lower Merton
police force.
He came running across the turf,
and arrived just as Lady Babbie ran
full tilt into a tree. Now thoroughly
maddened and blinded by terror, she
started for the fatal declivity when
Richnor caught the dangling lines.
and after being dragged a few feet,
succeeded in forcing the mare against
the fence and holding her fast.
Lady Babbie gave last frantic
and then recognizing her
master, camly rolled her eyes around
on the people who had run from every
direction, and switched her head, as
though she would say, wasn't / the
center of attraction for once. thought"
What might have been a \f1s ac-
cident, even resulting in the death Of
the blue winner, was after all, nothing
but a matter of a few bruises, and
Lady Babbie, just to show what a
thoroughbred can do, went through
her stunts Saturday afternoon. anS

ONE KILLED IN
GRIDIRON GAME
Experts Believe MOsern Foot
ball as Dangerous as Old
Sty.e Play
HARVARD SHOWS BEST
FORM UP TO DATE

With one football death already re-
ported and a score or more OF in
luries la Saturdays games, the ex-
perts are rapidly reaching the opinion
that the game is as dangerous as be-
fore the revisionists operated on the
rules
The game Saturday between Yale
and Syracuse, both supposed to rep
resent the best of modern" football,
resulted in eight injuries, two OF
which we're serious. In view OF this
coaches are now asking whether II is
possible to eliminate the dangers from
the game.
Up to date the followers OF the game
are agreed that Harvard has shown
the best form of any of the big east
ern teams. Yale's showing against
Syracuse was a distinct disappoint-
ment to the blue. but as Yale has a
habit of starting off poorly and then
rousing into championship form, the
students and alumni are not yet wor-
ried. Injuries of Yale men will re-
tard the practice this week
One big advantage that Harvard ap-
pears TO have this year is her wealth
of material, which is approached by
no other team i'm the country. In her
game with Bowdoin, Harvard played
almost an entirely different team from
that which defeated Bates earlier In
the week.
One fact that has been brought out
plainly in the new game is that gains
through the line are much harder
Several times Saturday the big teams
were held when within a few yards
Of touchdown. The rule forbidding
the pulling or pushing Of the player
carrying the ball was responsible for
these failures to gain. This means
that more reliance will have to be
placed in field goals, open work and
end nlaYs.

HOW AND WHEN TOUCHBACK
is MADE UNDER NEW RULES

A touchback is made when the bali
in possession of a player guarding
his own goal is declared dead, any
part of 1t being on, above or behind
the goal line, providing the impetus
which put it there came from an op-
ponent. II is also a touchback when
a kicked ball, except from a kickoff,
free kick or one scoring a field goal,
goes over the line on a fly or after
striking the ground, before being
touched by a player on either side. II
such a kicked ball strikes the cross
bar of either upright, it is consid4
e. ed over the goal line and goes as a
touchback. A kicked ball hitting a
defender of the goal and rolling across
the line before being recovered by
another defender of the goal goes as
a touchback. However, If a player
juggles the ball so as TO force II
across the line before he or another
defender of the goal falls upon 1t, II
is not a touchback.
A touchback from a forward pass
is made when the ball, legally pass
ed forward, crosses the goal line on
the fly or strikes either the crossbar
or upright before it has been touch
ed by a player on either side. Such
legal forward pass also counts as
touchback if the ball has been legal
ly touched by any player before cross
ing the line.
On a kickoff, If the ball goes over
the line and is there declared dead
while in the possession of a defender
of the goal, it is touchback.
A touchback counts for nothing in
the score.

AIR SHIP TO CROSS
STRAITS OF FLORIDA

Glen H. Curtiss. the aviator, will
probably attempt the longest flight
made over water by man-bird when
he flies from Havana, to Key, West, Fla.
That Curtiss will make the fight
sometime this month, if satisfactory
arrangements can be made, is the
statement of Bryce. manager for Curtiss
The Havana Post has offered $1,000
for successful flight, to which other
parties in Havana have added S., 900.
IF they will make the purse Sis, OOO'
said Mr.. Bryce, 1--WE will takea shot at
it, The weather conditions seems to
be all we can ask over the Florida
straits, now that the hurricane season is
over, and can see no reason why a
successful flight can not be made We
have the promise from the Cuban
government CT the loan of two revenue
cutters to patrol the course as rescue
boats, in case we should have to alight;
and the American government will be
asked to lend two tugs from Key West.
whether we shall rise from Havana
and land at Key West or vice versa /
can not say. To rise from Key West
would mean knocking down the machine,
which is in Havana, packing and trans,
porting same by steamer, which would
involve extra expense. On the other
hand the landing in Havana would be
difficult on account of the high hills
that surround the city. From specta-
cular point of view the landing is the
more exciting and as we are in negotla-
tions with Oarties in Havana for. a
series of flights it may be that we
shall land there. Neither place has
yet been settled upon.
ITO make this flight the machine
will probably rise to an altitude of q
900 feet and ought to make the trip in
two hours easily, if the wind is not too
strong against it, or in less time with
the wind. We do not anticipate any
trouble in making this flight, barring
accidents. of course, and we believe
we will establish record for both dis
lance and time over water.
