The city lake, the Chickasaw and
the Rod and Gun Club lakes were
the scenes of activity this morning.
The reason was from the fact that
ducks covered them in abundance and
hunters were out early to get their
share. Many fine bags were reported
this afternoon by the various hunters,
and tomorrow morning with its prom
ise of colder weather will in all prob
ability find the shores of these lakes
fringed with eager shooters.

Perry Star In YaIe's Scrimmage
Coaches Believe That They Have Wonder in New
 Candidate For Tackle

One player in the Yale string who has escaped public notice to date, but who is likely to be heard from later in the season--is Henry Perry. who got in the Eli lineup for the first time last Saturday. Left tackle is the posi- ton in which Coach Field played him and he has the physical qualified tions to do we'll there Perry is a member of the senior class. but has only been at New Haven a year. He entered from one of the smaller wes- tern universities. where he was cap- tain of the football team. .
 Perry wrestled as a heavyweight on the Yale team last winter and never failed to dispose of his opponent He did not go out for football until a week ago. but the coaches think well of him. He is six feet tall, weighs 1S0 pounds and is Mast and aggressive. He is qualified physically to play any line position, and to my mind he is pretty certain to find a regular place in. the Blue lineup by the time of the Brown game.
 TomIinson, a substitute who played left tackle last year, is being tried out at end, but hasn't got the football head to hold down that position. Fran cis and Parker are alternating at left guard, while McDevitt and Childs are halving the scrimmage at right. War ren got a long tryout on Saturday for the p6sition of right tackle and seems to have the best chance of subbing for Charley Paul Bill" Howe has been. showing up we'll at right end. The backfield situation remains un- changed

STARS IN PRACTICE ARE
 ANDERSON AND REILLY
Yale Backs Flow Through Scrub Lines For Big Gains on
 Muddy Field

New Haven. Oct. 5.-Soaked by 3 heavy rain until it had, the general 'springiness, of spring mattress the varsity field wasp evacuated by Yale's gridiron army yesterday afternoon. The varsity squad filed onto the fresh man field where. for over an hour. some gruelling work was gone through. Fearing frost, the coaches did not want to tear up the varsity field yesterday by practice.
 There was a Scrimmage which last ed for half an hour. PhiIbin, who has been playing on the varsity, fol- lowed after the team with the ceach- es. and Anderson played fullback for the varsity. He played a fast, hard game, making both low plunges through the center and runs around the end for good gains.
 The lineup of the varsity yesterday was as follows: D. Bomeisler left end; Scully. left tackle; Francis, left guard; Ketcham, center; McDevitt. right guard; Perry, right tackle; W. Howe, right end; Captain Howe, quar- terback; Spalding and Freeman, left half back; Reilly, right half back Anderson, fullback.
 It was not long before the varsity had made it's first score. The regu- lars were given the ball on the 45 yard line and the backs, by line plunges, took it to the six-yard line. There Kelly made just the distance needed for a down. Howe then took the ball over.

HemphiI| Shipped
 To Chicago Sox Veteran Outfielder of New York Americans Sold For
 Waiver Price

While the New York Yankees were tumblinS down the second division yesterday afternoon Charlie Hemphill alone of all the braves was unwilling ly saving his head from the angry swirl of the awkward division. The veteran outfieider of the Hill team was notified during the fray that he had been released to the Chicago White Sox, the club that supplanted Chase's men in the lowest berth of ed over to Charles Comiskey for the waiver price.
 Charlie Hemphill is one of the old est, veterans in point of service in the American League. Bill Sullivan, of the White Sox, and Harry Davis and Topsy Hartsel of the Athletics, are the only active rivals who Outdate old Eagle Eye Of the Yankees Chase alone has been with the club longer than Hemphill. Charlie came from St. Louis in the Spring of 1908.
 He alone delivered the goods in that disastrous season, when in few weeks the club tumbled from hand some lead clean into the cellar. Of the 1908 aggregation Chase now re- mains alone. Elberfield. Conroy, Stahl, Keeler, Moriarty, Kleinow Chesbro, Glade, Ball, Niles and half a dozen other illustrious ones have drifted back into the minors or have been traded to other clubs. Blair and Vaughn might be included in the 1908 cast, though both were farmed ont tha. year The rest of the Yan- kees are all new within the four play ing seasons.
 Hemphill is perhaps one of the pie tuTesque figures of modern baseball Despite his long years of service, he ;s still one of the most cunning play CTS to be found No one plays the outfield better than he, so far as .1aying' for batters is concerned. He is still the best waiter" in the lea que. His arm has weakened. slew ing him up on the bases. Otherwise Hemphill is about as good as ever: He classes with Cy Young, Wild Bill' Donovan and a few of the other old stanG-bys as a rare marvel of human endurance. To Chicago he will take with him the west wishes of New York fandom.

Dornan Loses To
 One Round Hogan
California Slugger Leads by Good Margin Although He Doesn't Get Knock
 out

lack Dorman met defeat last night in a featureless ten-round bout at the Madison A. C., New York. One Round' Hogan was the man to plas- ter the victory over the fighter from the Johnson stable. Hogan showed to better advantage than on his other appearances in the East, and while he did not live up to the name of One Roun1'' he did at least demonstrate to New York figh. fans that he is clever, fast and has the punch that tells.
 Tn the first few rounds. Dorman had the better of the milling. It was not until the fourth round that the boy from the Coast woke up and started to battle in earnest. From that point on, Hogan had all the better of the go, and scored frequently with a straight left and a right hook that Dorman seemed unable to guard
 In the fourth round Hogan rushed his man to the ropes and had him grcggy It the bell. Again, in the seventh, Hogan rushed, Dorman slip ped to the floor. and the California boy went down at the same time; but they were up and at it again, and the round ended with both boys fighting fast and furiously. In the last ses- sion Dorman tried to put over a sleep punch, but Hogan blocked all leads and had the fight by a good mar gin

 LARGEST IN MANY YEARS
Capt. Romeyn Has 216 Candi- dates Out in Effort to Down Harvard Next
 June

New Haven, Oct. 5.-Yale will start fall crew training with a squad of 216 candidates. Yesterday Capt. Ro- meyn made a careful canvass of the university for material, and when reg istration closed it was found that the squad to try for the 1912 crews would be the largest in years.
 The newly formed graduate coaching system, it is thought, is what has re- vived old time interest in the sport The graduate coaches who are here to help put the men in shape are Bob Cook, the veteran coach; Jim Rodgers, the new head coach; Fred Stevenson. captain of the 1888 crew, which made the record which has never been brok- en, and Fred Allen, captain of the 1900 crew The coaches all seem pleased with the material on hand. Yesterday they picked two eights and these were made up as follows:
 Tirst-Stroke, Snowden; No. T., Me Henry; No. 6, Ross; No 5. Stevenson No. 4, Denman; No 8, Bugbee; No. ?, Rodgers; bow, Gore; coxswatn, Shepard.
 Second-Stroke, Beck; No. 2, Capt. Romeyn; No. 6, Spencer; No. 5, Chan dler; No 4, Beals; No. 3, Pease; No. 2. Appleton; bow, Street; coxswain, Barnum
 As now composed the first eight is the freshman crew which defeated Harvard last June on the Thames.

Papke Seems To Be Down And Out
New York Promoters Shy oi Him Since Doleful Exhibi-
 ton With Sailor Burke

Since Billy Papke put up that dole full exhibition with Sailor Burke at the Twentieth Century A. C.,> New York, he has been keeping himself under cover. When offered matches with good men he has always found some pretext for .evading, the meet ing. It is likely, however, that the clubs offering him matches were luck fer than they realized when he refus- sed to accept, for Papke's best days are past and he has nothing left to offer but his past record. The trip to Australia was Papke's undoing The country that developed Bob Fitzsim- mons did not agree with him. He lost to Cyclone Johnny Thompson and an unknown of the Smith family. Papke took on weight rapidly, and as his avordupois increased his ability decreased. He still claims to be a middleweightr but will not make a match at that limis, and it is likely that he never will again
 Of all the middleweights before the public Frank Klaus seems to be the most promising. He can make the weight without trouble and can hit almost as hard as the late Stanley Ketchel, but lacks, experience.

Picking, Winner In
 Worlds Series
Fielder Jones Likes Athletic and Cy Young Says Giants
 Will Win

Portland, Ore, Oct. 5-'The Athlet- ics should repeat their performance of 1910,' says Fielder Jones, ex-lead- CT of the Chicago White Sox. ''They are superior in the pitching ranks and the class in batting. Mathewson may be able to repeat his feat of 1905, but I doubt it very much. He can't last forever. Not that Matty is a has been,' far from it, but he will have a different band to deal with-a bunch of youths who hit the ball on the nose every time. The Athletics have the edge on the batting. Also they have an infield that-well, it is the best I ever set eyes on.''
 Philadelphia, Oct. 5-'I wouldn't like to make pick of the winner in this coming contest said Cy Young, because I think it is going to be a toss-up. I figure that the biggest element and the deciding factor will be luck. In series like that the booting of a ball or a wild throw is liable to decide the championship. believe that Mathewson can beat the Athletics, but I don't know enough about the other pitchers of the New York team to discuss it. If the Giants beat the Athletics they will certainly get the credit of having beaten a great ball club"

PRINCETON WAlI0PS FAST RUTGERS ELEVEN

Princeton, N. J., Oct 5-Princeton met her old rival Rutgers for the first time in fifteen years yesterday after noon and came out victorious by the score of 37 to 0. The Tigers put up a much better game than against Stew ems, the line especially showing inn provement. Rutgers played a good game during the first half and held the Nassau team down to Is to O. but weakened in the second half and al- lowed what was practically the scrub eleven to roll up q points more.
 In the first period there was no scoring and it looked as though the game would be close one. but at the end of the second period the Ti- gers had forged ahead. Open field play and long end runs rather than than straight line plunging were re- sponsible for the scoring De Witt pulled off two long runs early in the period and Penfield carried the ball over. Pendleton missed the goal.
 On the following kickoff Pendleton started from his own goal line and ran through the entire Rutgers team for the second touchdown He again missed the goal. few minutes lat CT, after bringing the ball to Rutgers's yard line only to lose it by for ward pass, Sawyer ran from scrim- mage from Rutgers's 45 yard line for a touchdown.

(By Wagner.)

The All-Star team that will play against the Athletics is to be consid- erably weakened by the order of Own CT Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox He has ruled that four of his men who cannot play with the AH-Stars must compete with the Sox against the Cubs for the Chicago City cham plonship. These men are Pitchers Walsh and White, third Baseman Lord and Catcher Sullivan. Connie Mack wanted White particularly because he is one of the best left handlers in the game. The Athletics fear Rube Mar quardH and think practice against a good left handler would be a great help. Southpaws Vean Gregg of Cleve- land and Ray Collins of Boston may be used against the Athletics to fill the vacancies.
 Reggie Brown got another chance in the box for the Athletics. The Water bury pitcher swent in yesterday after Washington had knocked Krause from the slab in the fifth. Brown famed three and allowed one hit in three inn ings
 Dan O'Neil, the Waterbury owner has been visiting the Danbury fair Dan thinks pretty we'll of Da.nbury as baseball town.
 The New York Americans are in the second division and it looks as if they will stay there. Hal Chase has been unable to get the work out of the men It is said that Harry Lord of the Chicago White Sox may come to New York next season. If he does he will probably become manager of the club John Ganzel, who has won three peh- nants in succession for the Rochester Eastern league club, is also mentioned as a New York manager for 1912.
 Russell Ford. who was one of the best pitchers in the American league in 1910. is having a poor season with New York. He has been excused for . the season but will stick around to

UMPIRE OWENS CAN'T \
 BE JOLLIED BY PLAYERS
New National League Arbiter Said to be Cool Proposition
 on Diamond .

If he does and umpires the ball that he did in the acquire a real umpire For when it comes to taking charge of a. ball game and running it, this Owens person stands alone in, that association.
 Being master of the situation is one of the strong points of this fellow
 Here's an illustration: Owens was umpiring an exhibition game between the' White SoX and the Indianapolis team of the association. The game was being played on the Indianapolis grounds and the score was close. Har- ry- Lord took a lead off first, dashed for second and was safe on close play.
 At any gate that was what Umpire Owens indicated when he spread his hands to give the safe sign. Up rush. ed the second haseman of the Indiana polls team
 "He was safe,' howled the second baseman.
 Umpire Owens paid no attention Every man has right to kick when the play goes against him. "He wasn't safe'' bawled the Indi- annapolis baseman. T had him this far,'' and the player indicated that he caught Lord a foot of the bag. One kick is all right Two kicks are wrong according to the philosophy of this umpire. Owens.
 Well. what are you telling me about it fOr?" he enquired. and his voice was as gentle as if he were discuss ing the weather. Do you expect me to change my decision?
 Whereupon the player collapsed What else was there for him to say?
 This Owens is blessed with a great voice-for an umpire. An opera sing CT might tell you that it was a bit with the volume. It's fine outdoor voice. And he certainly is the boss when he is on the field.
 He was once upon a time umpiring a game in the association and it was a close battle. One of the pitchers possessed everything except control. This pitcher was unwilling to believe that he did not have that, and every ball Or strike was questioned. Finally when the game was getting toward the finish, and the twirler was getting them near the plate, but not oyer,%he rushed to the umpire.
 Say. you,'' he bawIed.
 Now don't create a disturbance. 5 advised Owens in that gentle voice of his
 Say, you, I have been pitching strike after strike and you haven't given me the benefit of it. I don t want to groove that ball. If you could only see when. they go over the cor ners I would
 ''Now let us have no misunderstood ing" said Owens, and there was not even the trace of anger Or impatience in his voice, T have friend who will do you lot of good. Here" and he handed the pitcher a card. It bore the name and address of one of the best known oculists in the circuit.
