New York, Oct 19.-Christy Math-
ewson was an unsolvable problem to
the Highlanders yesterday and the
Giants had no trouble in winning the
fifth game of the post-season series,
to I. The series now stands New
York Nationals, 3; Americans, 1 tie, l..
Devore brought the Giants first run
with a high drive into the left field
bleachers for the circuit. After two
men were out in the second inning
Myers got a lucky infield hit and
Mathewson walked to first on four
wide ones Devore doubled to right
scoring Myers, and Doyle followed
with a drive which ratified the ball
against the center field fence. Doyle
was across the plate before the ball
reached the diamond.
The Highlanders garnered their only
run in the seventh inning on a single
by Knight and a wild pitch by Mathew
son and Doyle's error. Score

REGULARS BEATEN
High School Scrubs Reinforced
by MacManus and Taylor
Wine to 5 Game.
ARE NOT DISCOURAGED
First Team Shows Usual Form, but
Two Strong Men Are Out and
Seconds Played Great Ball.

Coach Harmon put the local high
school football team through about 40
minutes scrimmage last night and
when the smoke Of battle had cleared
away the score was TO in favor of
the scrubs. The latter had the best
of the argument throughout and the
varsity was lucky to hold them as well
as they did. There We're two first
team men playing with the scrubs,
Taylor at center and MacManUs at left
half Grove and Woodin were out of
the game, SO the first team was not as
strong as usual. Nevertheless they
were outplayed and a penalty when the
scrubs had the ball within a foot of
the goal was all that kept the score
down.
The results of last night do not in
dictate a falling off in the first team as
much as an improvement in the sec
ond. MacManus was back in the game
for the first time after his injury in
the Monmouth game and the way he
plowed through the first team showed
that he is himself again. Keith Doc
ley. who has been sub halfback lately,
put up a game that makes it look as
though the regular men would have to
be on the jump or they would become
the subs. Hughes gets better every
night and any lineman who Outplays
him this season will certainly be a
good one.

The Socials will be outweighed by
the Davenporters, but they expect

shown that the team has consider
