of time. That any of the Varsity were used yesterday evidenced that no chances will be taken, no time lost to place the eleven in such a shape that the game withWest Point Satur- day will be Yale's, without a ques- ton.
 There was one disappointment in the practice, and, that was that the scrubs carried the ball over the Var s1ty line. Incessant hammering of the Varsity line by the scrubs finally followed with the. inevitable touch down. The scrubs yesterday played brilliantly, especially Floss and Childs. regular backfeld, Merritt replacing Howe. The other backs were Ander- sen, Spalding and Reilly Andersen didn't stay in the scrimmage long, bur the others played almost until it was over. In the line the only regulars were Francis and Perry, who played nearly through the scrimmage. The not yet be called regular ends. .Cooney, brother of the famous Carroll Cooney, played center. Parker was guard, in place of McDevitt. Warren was the other tackle besides Perry.
 The Varsity was given the ball first for line plunges. But the scrubs ir the beginning were adamant and held the university well. Finally, line plunges by Andersen and Reilly brought the ball to 30 yards from the goal Andersen then tried field goal, but the scrubs blocked it. The coaches then held up the teams for special plays and then the scrubs were given the ball to hammer toward the Varsity goal line. Finally they got it over, Foss carrying the ball. For the scrubs Foss and Childs played the best game.

LOCAL FANS SEE GOOD
 BOUTS AT PARAMOUNT \. 6,

The Fairanount A. A. held a smoker and entertainment at their club rooms, 107O Hancock avenue, last evening. A fine program was arranged, including a wrestling bout, three four-round bouts, a six-round bout. and singing and dancing.
 The star bout of the evening was be- tween Frankie" Parrish of the Fair mounts and Young" Stoffell of the Mohican A c. It was the first ap- pearance of Parrish in the ring since his sickness, and he showed all his old time cleverress and proved that he is the best boy of his weight in Bridgeport.
 The semi-final was between "Jim- my Lawrence of the Longfellow A C. and "Kid" Berger of the Fair mounts. This bout went the limit of four rounds and would have been declared draw.
 The preliminary bout was between ~Young' Ward of the Arrow A. c. and ''kid' Brodie of the Westerns. This was a pretty bout, Ward having a slight shade.
 The wrestling bout was between Christy Daly and Red Quarford. Red secured the best two out of three.
 Singing and dancing was rendered by Frank Fraser, Alfred Duncan. and Joseph Yargo. And a number of piano selections were rendered by Frank Byron and Roy Loveridge The referee was Fred Woods of the South Ends; timekeeper, Edward Dancer, and announcer Harry Leonard

JOE BEDELL PUTS ONE
 OVER ON BIS CY SMITH
Fight Goes Ten Rounds But Joe
 Has Better of Argument

Joe Bedell rang the knell on the pugilistic aspirations of "Cy'' Smith at the Brooklyn Beach A. C., New York, last night. With well measur- ed punches to the jaw and stomach he stopped Smiths bull-like rushes and easily gained the honorS in eight out of ten rounds. Smith had the better of the seventh round, with the eighth even. Bedell had all of the other rounds It was hard, fast fight.
 Smith tried to run out of the match. There was plenty of smoke and hot air in the club, but very little money. At least not as much as Smith exz pected Cy, who takes himself more seriously as fighter than Jack John son demands as much money for a fight as a prima donna does to sing. When Cy found his hopes blasted by the low financial strait of the club he started on a sprint for home, but was checked by the $50 forfeit that the club held for his appearance.
 But it took a great deal of coaxing on the part of thu club managers to persuade Smith to fight. They had to cajole, plead. threaten and denounce him by turns. Like a. sulky child de- prived of his favorite toy, Cy consent ed to enter the ring after he had kept the patrons of the club something like half an hour. To appease the clamors of the members to bring on the actors, the managers said the scales were out of order

 Tt is a great game" said Liu, his eyes lighting with enthusiasm as he viewed the two varsity elevens locked in hard scrimmage nearby. q like the open game the best, though: ths more open the better. I like to run with the ball.
 Liu expects to become proficient in the game himself. When his ed.sca- tion is completed he will go back to China and try to introduce the game there he says
 Perhaps he states, i've may be able to keep out some of the rouxf1- ness if we play the game in China and make it even more of the open game'
 Liu is working hard in competition for his position and has made a most favorable impression. He has shown speed and stamina but lacks weight, which is in itself serious handicap in football. Recently some one for- cibly connected with his chin and Lxu sought the greensward. There he saw innumerable dragons for three or four minutes, until Trainer Huggins brought him to. He was to his feet in an fn- stant, back on his job as half back looking for more
 He shines brightest, however at quar- terback, displaying considerable gen.
  ficulty that he has encountered has .heen the inability of some of the play CTS to grasp his signals, although Liu speaks excellent English. At times too. though he forgets himself and sputters out command in his native tongue.
 Liu has been in the United States about five years. He came first to San Francisco, where he entered high school. It was in the city of Col den Gate that he acquired a taste for football. Leaving high school he came to Phillips Exeter, where he stayed three years. At the academy he was on the squad for . time. That he failed to be chosen for the eleven did not discourage him. This year when the Brown squad came out he decided to try, try again.
 He is of a sunny disposition, popular with both players and coaches and democratic. Brown will give him all possible chance to become a star of the gridiron.

 NEW YORK'S ONLY HOPE
Gran1Iand Rice Says McGraw May Pitch

ian defense rolled back and shattered the Giant attack. There was no open. ing at any stage. The veteran south paw was working in marvellous form and all around him eight fleet, skill fully trained aides were backing him cross-fire swept the Giants aside Snodgrass alone facing him with ef- feet, although Herzog and Meyers compiled with the only rpn. The In- dian came through with a timely wal lop which gave the Giants a run. But one run wasn't enough as Mack's ma- chine fought through the second bat tie.
 The white elephant array was out to even up Saturdays downfall. The defeat, on Monday, meant sure disas- ter. It was then or goodnight Fac ing this tant situation, the Philadel- phians fought with a dash that was Idol of Saturday, came back to his old time stuff. Both around his base and at bat he was ball playing cen tipede, covering acres of soil and bat ting in old time, form. Giant aggres- siveness had no show against this stalwart defense. Speed is no help when you can't get to first and neither team attempted to steal.
 The only Giant attempt at daring base running was choked off by Bris Lords brilliant fielding and perfect throw, which nailed Snodgrass' at tempt to stretch single in the sixth. It was Philadelphia's day and Phila- delphia made good with something to spare. Even without John Franklin Baker putting in, the best New York could have looked for was a tie, as the last IS men who faced Plank were retired
 So, after all this hurly-burly, the series stands where 1t stood at 2 p. m., on SaturdayTneck and neck. The Giants are now batting 173 and the Athletics 169 and yet both ball clubs are supposed to be composed of high grade batsmen. The old-fashioned wallop which father used to see or cheer looks to be about extinct. The pent-ub audience sits and waits waits and watches for one real bingle and draws its chance to be merry about twice across the game.
 After all, now, the sole Giant hope looks like Mathewson. Mathewson to day. in New York. Mathewson on Thursday and Mathewson Saturday McGraw's program if the series runs that far Marquard may be given another chance 1sor may be retired to make way for Ames. Wiltse or Cran- dall, of greater experience. But the final answer after all, centefs around the magic of the mighty Matty IT Mack's team manages to stop his rush with Coombs, Bender and Plank ready in order for the next three games, the Giant outlook is in doubt

ONLY CHINESE PLAYER
 ON GRlDIRON MEMBER
 OF BROWN AGGREGATION

Providence, R. l., Oct. 17.-To Brown University goes the honor of having the first Chinese that ever partlclpat- ed in the college football world. He IS Tsung Fah Liu of Tientsin, China. The young man, who is being educated in this country by the Chinese Govern ment is an ardent admirer of the grid iron sport, and hopes before gradua- tion to wear the t'B" and be ranked high with other Browns football he- rOeS.
 One day last week Liu strolled into the locker building on Andrews Field and nonchalantly requested a football uniform from Coach Robinson. His request was xeceived with skeptical smile, but Liu insisted that he was in earnest about trying for the team. He said that he had an insight into the game, having played it off and on for four years both at high school and at Exeter, his preparatory school.
 Brown being a democratic institu- tion, Liu was speedily found a suit of moleskins. His appearance created a sensation and caused much mirth in certain quarters. But the young man was out to play football and allowed all chaffing and raillery to pass over his head
 Now Lfu is faithful member of the Brown squad, and is getting a thor ough tryout by Coaches Robinson and Pryor. He shows distinct promise The young fellow is .24 years. old, although his appearance does not show it. He weighs 147 pounds. He is being tried out at quarterback and occasionally plays halfback on the second team.
 Although Liu is being educated in this country at the expense of the Chinese Government, he admits that the imperial Government probably had not considered footbaH necessary part of his education. At the same time he thoughts there would be no objec-

To Call Langf!ord
 Jeanette Bout Off
Fighters Can't Agree on City in Which to Stage Their
 Scrap

The proposed bout between Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette is hang ing fire because the managers of the fighters cannot agree upon a club to hold the fight. Joe Woodman prefers Los Angeles and Dan McKetrick Is holding out for San Francisco. While the wordy war goes on between the managers the two principals are, like the little boy caught fishing on Sun day, saying 'nuffin.''
 Tom McCarey has made a good of fer for the men to meet at the Pacific A. c. of Los Angeles. He asks them to go over the 25-round route. Jim- my Coffroth, manager of the Mission A. c. of San Francisco, is just as lib eral in his offering for similar bout. As there is less chance for themateh to be stopped in San Francisco, Nc Ketrick is holding out for the latter named city. Danny had Woodman on the long-distance phone yesterday trying to win him over to his views.

Ad Wolgast Ready
 For Wells Fight
Champion Expects Hard Battle When He Clashes With
 Englishman

Matt Wells, the English lightweight
 champion, to-day will begin training
 for his bout with Ad Wolgast, which
 is scheduled to be held at the Madison
 A. C. New York on Nov. B Wells will
 have to make 133 pounds at o'clock
 on the afternoon of the contest. a
 lighter weight than he ever before at
 tempted to make.
 Wells reduced to 133 pounds for
 Brown, but weighed in two hours ear
 Her. He never appeared stronger for
 bout than he did on that occasion
 and, it is not likely that the two
 hours difference in time for his No vember bout will hurt his chances to
 any great extent.
 The Englishman says he is going to
 do his best to develop knockout
 puncHfor Wolgast. Wells is anxious to put Wolgast down for the count, as
 he wants the title. He also is look ing out for the financial opportunity too. If he could only succeed in out pointing the champion Wells will be able to demand a large sum for his services on the stage and also for an- other match with WolgaSt in a bout of longer duration.
 Wolgast has little respect for the English champion on account of the latter's inability to win a battle by the force of few single punches The champion says he will break through Wells defence and batter him intd submission before. the ten rounds are over. Those who have seen Wells
 fight in his recent battles, however, think differently. The Britisher has shown improvement in every one, of his battles of late. In his bout with
 Brown he not Sonly showed masterly Wi hl1f uarxr bGfc io1 punch with either hand as we'll. In
 some of the later rounds of that bat tie Brown was almost knocked through the ropes. In the bout with
 Attell the Engliishman failed to show
 good form in his hitting On this occasion he was content to outpoint the skilful Abe without calling to his he had over the featherweight cham pion.
 Even if Wells is not an extra hard puncher he is a strong and rugged fellow who will be able to rough it in the clinches without weakening. His
 strength, together with his clever box ing, should prove combination that the sturdy little Wolgast will find hard to beat in a ten-round bout.
 Although Wolgast professes to dis
 parage Wells fstic prowess, never theless he will not stint his training
 The bout is still three weeks off, but
 Wolgast will emulate his opponents
 example and seek his training camp at once., The American champion will condition himself at Chester, Pa, where he has prepared for other bouts held in the East. Wolgast will arrive in New York on
 Friday, and after a consultation with the officers of the Madison A. G., will repair to his training quarters without further delay.

Tells
 How He Lost Game
New York Southpaw Says He Takes All Blame For
 Bakers Home Run
Especial from United Press.y

(SpeC1dl IrDHl fT6SSl
 New York, Oct. 17-Rube Marquard has no delusions as to who won and who lost yesterdays game. In a newspaper article printed here, today, the Giant southpaw says:
 John Franklin Baker deserves the credit for the victory and I will bear the blame for the fault was mine. I gave him just the kind of ball he had been looking for. It was my first ap- pearance in a championship series and also against the Athletics and until the first inning was over I was a little up in the air.
 Then, too, the sun is in the pitch CTS eyes all the time at Shibe Park and I was not used to it. Plank did not seem to mind it and he pitched a wonderful game throughout For my part, I tried to put too much on the ball and my nervousness rather surprised me into errors which I have not made since I entered fast conn., pany.
 Tn the fatal sixth had got back my confidence and the team had steadied down. Lord and Oldring had gone out on fly balls to center and right field, for my jump ball was working fairly we'll, though I did not have the best, of control.
 "When Collins came to bat, I gave nm a SLOW OQL curve, WdlSI IlSH duu he cracked it all the way around to left field and took two bases. Baker is a bad man and I had been warned against him and I had the right dope, too. But at the last moment I switch ed because I thought I was working it too hard When he came up in the sixth, I fully intended to give him curve balls but after I had one strike on him and he refused to bite on another out curve, which was a little too wide. I thought to cross him by sending in a fast, high, straight ball, the kind I knew he lik- ed. Meyers had called for curve but I could not see it and signalled a high. fast ball.
 . "Either Baker knew the signal from Collins on second, or he outguessed me. He was waiting for that fast one and sent it over the fence, scoring Collins ahead of him. I'll never give Baker that brand of ball, again Per sonally, I do not think the result al- ters the championship situation

This Weeks Bill
 Al Polls Theatre
Worst Show of Season Presented to Large Audiences
 Yesterday

You won't know whether to laugh or cry at the bill at Poli's this week The people who horned in on passes can afford to laugh, but those who paid their hard earned coin will feel more like doing a weeping act. It is without exception the worst show Manager Poli has ever presented to the theatregoers of this city. For the sake of the PoH reputation in the amusement world, it is hoped that the manager didn't know what he was giving the paying. public. Some joker must have told Him the troupe could give a, good performance.
 There were two acts on the bill that stood out above the rest. The Four Cook Sisters received a big reception in their singing speciality. They war bled "I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad Meet Me Tonight in Dreamiand", and other popular selections. |
 The. other good number was present ed by Clinton and Nolan. Their work was above the average and the audi, ence liked it. =
 A skit that was billed as a merry. musical melange: "A Night in Seville, was about as merry as an undertak- ers' convention. Judging from the noise the actors and actorines made, Seville is nc place at night for a ner- vouS woman.
 In order not to hurt anybody's feel ing it is best not to say much about "Auld Lang Syne", presented by Ed Markey and Miss Gertie De- were.
 s"The Country Barber shop" was ad- vertised as a close shave It was for the performers. If the folks in front had a few ancient vegetables handy they might have serenaded the actors
 The last straw was Through the Center of the Earth Many of the spectators left their seats before the finish. They couldn't stand it az longer. You can appreciate how ba1 the show is when Ed BlondeH, whQ put on the performance, refused to take part in it himself. .
