Harry Quinlan. member of last year
varsity foot ball and base ball teams
and Moriarity showed up best for the
scrubs, both executing some very clever
backfield running. Both these men
are veteran players, the latter wearing
the purple and the white of Holy Cross
in 1909.
Cunniff and Greer. both candidates fol-
center this year. are having it out fci
the middle position. and this should be a
very interesting contest. as both men are
of high caliber and have had considerable
experience at the game. Cunnif played
while in the prep school, and has had
three years experience on the varsity
and all those who know the Bostoniar
realize that he not only knows foot ball
but that his playing is characterized by
the never-give-in spirit, which Is so es
sential in avery foot bali man.

is not by any means an unknown guam

another demonstration of its superiority,
in two ffteen-minute periods, over the
scrubs in the scrimmage which was held

this. Fury made long run around the
end and brought the ball within striking
distance of the second teams goal llne
In the next rush Dunn carried the ball
over the chalk line. going through the

touchdown The ball again went to the
scrubs at the center. but was taken by
the first team on downs within two min-
utes after play started. At this time the
forward pass was used several times by
both eleyens but showed the fact that

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

THE pennant's ours" quoth Connie
Mack yesterday as his trusty lads speared
the last Tiger.
Ford and Benz, the automobile duo,
were the opposing twirlers in the New
York-Chicago game yesterday.
Hughey Jennings was not compelled to
see his pennant hopes killed in the ninth
from the coaching lines. Umpire Perrine
banished the Detroit leader in the sew
enth for boisterous talk.
The Cubs lost two points by breaking
even with the Boston club in yesterday 5
double header. 1t now appears the mat
ter of a very few days before the Giants
will have the pennant absolutely cinched.
The Giants today open a four-game
series in the lair OF the Cubs. Despite
the wear and tear OF thirteen victories
in the last fifteen games, the Giants are
in fine shape to put the finishing touches
on Chicago's last faint hope
The series in Chicago should give a
good line on New York's chances with
the worlds champion Athletics. The
Cubs are in much the same shape at
present as when Connie Mack beat them
four out of five games last fan.
The Dodgers made il three in row
by trimming the Pirates . to in yes
terdayS game. Northen was very prOml-
nent in the victory. The young Brook
Ign outfielder started his teammates in
the right direction with triple III the
third. He started the sixth-inninS rally
| by waiting out the pitcher, and again IN
the ninth drew a pass that forced In
run.
Horace Fogel. president of the Phillfes.
has challenged the Yankees to post
season series. If one is played 1t will
have to go over until after the world $
| championships There Is absolutely no
chance of the national commission per-
hitting any counter attractions TO the
| big show. Such a series would not APP
peal to the public, even II the world S
series were played elsewhere. The frosty
| mitt which was handed the Giants-Red
| Sox tilt of 1909 is proof of that.

Forest City, Aug. z4.-3L II. Ford, manager of the hotel Mar ion in this city, is out $l00 and IS seeking one James Peters, who registered with him laat Friday, and who is said to have represented himself to be the travelling representative of the Progress Distjlling Company of Louisville, Ky.
 Peters carried what purportei to be q letter from the distiIliug company and exhibited fl b Mr. Ford. On the strength ot this document Mir. Ford says h. cashed g draft on the distiIIing company for $100, and some days later 3Tr, Peters, who was here some time, disappeared.
 Nothing was thought of tAl> until today, when AIr Ford re- ceived the draft back from the bank with notations that it was of no value, and accompanying the draft came q letter from the Progress Distilling Company to the effect that Peters does not that company in any whatsoever and that if he presented a letter of credit it is not genuine.
 MT. Ford seeks Peters now to bring him into court to show why he should have represented himself to be the agent of the distilling company and declares he will lodge charges against him for obtaining money under false pretenses.
 The whereabouts of Peters at this time is not known to the people in this city and efforts are being made to locate him. Nothing was known of him until he appeared here last Friday.
