Varsity Squad
 ] Al Yale Re|axes
Coaches Give Regular Linemen < Rest and Send Sub-
 StituteS in

There was but one regular in the Eo-called Yale varsity lineup yester- day when the Blue resumed work to prepare for next Saturdays battle with Syracuse. The coaches found their task growing harder and thar the work is growing heavier. Follow ing their policy adopted at the start of the season the Yale varsity men who started the game against Holy Cross Saturday were given a rest. Warren was the only one who played Saturday that was in the varsity line up yesterday. He played at left tackle against the second team It was stat ed yesterday at the field that Perry, who showed up so we'll against Holy varsity, pending the retuGn of Paun to the game.
 As practically all of the regulars were resting it was really the second team that lined up against the third, with a constantly changing lineup. The lineup working. against the third team follows: Avery, left end; Tom linson, left tackle: Parker. left guard; |; Ceoney, center; Childs, right guard, , end; Merritt, quarter back; Church, left half back: Spalding. right half back; Anderson, full back.
 In the entire Scrimmage but one score was made, and that by Eddie Freeman, right half back on the third team, against the second. On the enemy's twenty-five yard line, Nit chell made successful attempt at a forward pass. The pass was beau tiful one, Freeman taking the bail and scoring touchdown after a run of eighty yards. The way Freeman broke through the second team line was a surprise.

Football Teams
 Hustle This Week
Yale . Meets Syracuse Next Saturday and Harvard Takes
 on Hoy Cross

The tasks of the coaches are grow ing harder. With the present week the. work of football squads through out the country becomes heavier. The Ecr1mmages will be made longer; the practice times will be heightened; the players individual tasks will increase in severity. For now the elevens are gradaally taking form for the hardef games to come.
 on the ball ito blocking on the line; to tackling the dummy. Instead the ends are hustling down the field un- der punts and making their tackles; the forwards are opening up holes in actual scrimmages; fie6 goals are be- Ing attempted with the scrubs break ing thr rough. Certainly the prelirn- mary stage may be said to have pass- ed. The coaches have appraised their material and from now until late No- vember the work will become harder.
 Only two of the sorcalled Big Five will play midweek games. Princeton, after a long break, re- and the University of Pennsylvania will see how big score it can roll up on Franklin and Marshall. In the New England district Brown and Dartmouth continue their sched- ules, Brown meets Rhode Island State and Bowdoin comes to Hanover.
 Saturdays games, however, will bring action. Yale has to take on Syracuse, always troublemaker. Harvard will meet Holy Cross. How Yale fared with Holy Cross last Sat urt1ay will afford an excellent basis of comparison. . Princeton's sched- ule calls for Villanova ands Pennsyl vania meets Ursinus. Incidentally the Quakers are out to pile up a score if they can, for Ursinus beat them last year. Cornell, recovered from Col gate. will line up against Oberlin, a strong team from out of the West.
 These are the more important matches that the coaches will have to prepare for this week. Neverthe- less the Army opens it's Season on Saturday, meeting the University of Vermont, and out at Ann Arbor> Mich igan's great team will try out against Case School.

Make Plans For
 Worlds Series
 To Start Oct. I3
National Commission Will Gather in New York Thurs day to Toss Coin For
 First Game
: The first prelininaries of the worlds

The first aoreliminaries of the world series between the Giants and tho
 Athletics will be observed in New York, Thursday, when the Nationa Commission will meet to decide upon a schedule for this annual classic ol baseball The triumverate has not de ..cided just where it will meet, nor has it selected a specific hour. Undoubted- 2 ly the offices of the National League wiN be the scene of the first move III the cafnpaign.
 q While technically the New York Ma tional League club is not entitled to championship honors, it has establish ed such a strong claim to superiority that the National Commission believes McGrawy and his men will have the title cinched by Thursday night As feast the governing head Of organized baseball has eliminated the Cups rom all consideration and at the meeting Thursday will provide only one sched- ule to embrace the cities of Philadel- phia and New York. The scene Of the sopening conflict will be decided by the flip of a coin. .,,
 Chairman August Hermann will toss the silver and the prospective Acombatants will be championed oy Presidents Ban Johnson and Tom Lynch respectively. If Johnson wins the toss he will have the privilege of selecting Shibe Park, Philadelphia, to stage the first encounter. Otherwise New York win have the honor of starting the big hSht at the Polo Grounds. Johnson outlucked Lynch in the draw a year ago
 The Commission has already decided ito alternate games between the cit 'fes of Philadelphia and New York re- EardIess of which party has the honor ofainauguration. This win be the first time in baseball history that such a plan has been followed. Back fin 1905, when the Giants trimmed the Athlet- ics for the highest title in baseball. two games were. staged in each city between shifts On other occasions the cities interested were too far apart to make such schedule as intended this year practical. The proximity of Philadelphia and New York. however, furnishes an ideal situation for alter nate games.
 One thing at least is certain. The series will not be started until October League win not be asked to move up its late attractions to open dates for the convenience of the Athletics, who close practically a, week earlier. The Athletics have arranged an exhibition tour with an A1l-Star American League cast, which will keep the world s champions busy until October F. the day the Giants conclude their schedule with the Dodgers. Whether the big gun will sound on October 13 or October 14 will be decided Thurs day. There is superstition in base ball against '13s and Fridays" that even the National Commission may not wish to buck It is noticeable that these supposed hoodoos are al- ways side-stepped when it comes to inaugurating baseball seasons. Here tofore the Commission has not been called upon to face the "jinx" in the matter of a worlds championship test.

In analysing this period, theA best and worst teams of the two widely diversified football epochs are taken in order to base a comparison with the
 Under the old rules Yale's best eleven was the one which took cham pionship honors in 300. The Blue won the F games played, totals for the season reaching 324 to 5. The five points were made as the result of a Princeton team. The final score of this game was 29 to 5.
 For several years following the in troduction of the revised football no eleven was developed powerful enough to go through the season with out being scored on. The 1909 team, explained by Coy, was the first to of this eleven was 209 to zero.
 The Yale eleven of 1901 won nine games, lost one and tied one and was not only beaten decisively by Har- yard but was scored on by Tufts and Columbia. The totals for this year were PIP to 37.
 Although the wonderful recuperative powers Of the Yale team of last year is matter of history and even it's severeA critics cannot gainsay the fact that it t'came back" with a ven- geance that eleven was the poorest turned out at New Haven in recent years. Defeated by West Point, to 3, scored on by Syracuse, it was badly beaten by Brown, 21 to 0. And yet. the next week, practically the same team defeated Princeton to 8. The surprise of the season took place a week later when the Blue held the Crimson to a to o score. In the past II years Yale has scored Ill points to Harvard's 26, while the Blues goal line has not been crossed by Harvard since 1901, although it scored four points by a drop-kick in 1908
 Yale has played 27 different teams in Il years. and since the new rules went in force has taken on but five new ones. Brown, Princeton, West Point and Syracuse have always been on her schedule. In 4All-America se- lections in that time Yale has had 3S men. In the II years the average score per game was 21 points, while the average score registered against the team was Is points.
 With the old rules in force Har- wards best season was in 1901 when the eleven played II games and won them all. This team scored 2sS points against it's opponents 24
 It was in 1901 that the famous Glass Cutts controversy took place between Yale and Harvard. Glass. who played football at Syracuse university, mat riculated at Yale and played in number of the smaller games. Just before the Yale-Princeton contest Har- ward protested Glass, claiming that he

SAM lAhGFORD FIGHTS
 TONY CkP0NI FRIDAY
Western Slugger Expects to Put CoIored Expert Away
 With Wallop >

Sam Langford and Tony Caponi will clash at the Twentieth Century A. G., New York, on Friday night. This event will serve to introduce Caponi to Gotham fight fans. He has the reputation in the West of being hard hitting, tough light heavyweight box CT. Caponi says he is not afraid of Langford- something few boxers are bold enough to declare
 .sIf Langford is forced to fight by the referee strictly in the spirit as we'll as the letter of the rules,'' de- clared Caponi yesterday, I'm confi- dent I can whip him. Langford has the habit of hitting low in the clinches and striking in the breakaways even though the boxers agree to break clean
 .I can hit just as hard as Langford and can take my medicine, served up in the form of waMops, with better grace than Langford As a matter of cold fact-and my opinion is based on how Langford has acted whenever the gaff was thrown into him-I don't believe that Langford is aAfne.''

Manager McCann doesn't know what he will do with '1vor Swanson next season. The Terrible Swede was sim ply loaned to Lynn and is still on Bfidgeport's reserve list. The chances are that Lynn will buy the big fellow before 1912 rolls around. He made a good record in the New England league.
 Hi Ladd isn't through with the old game yet. He played with Whitins- ville, Mass, against Woonsocket last saturday and pounded out couple of hits. His team won by to 3.
 Foot Ruell was another Bridgeport CT in the line up. He came through with a long hit when the bases were crowded and otherwise made himself solid with the Whitinsville crowd.
 Hughey Jennings has already start ed to tear down his team for the pur- pose of building up a new structure for 1912. He has askeda for waivers on Outfielder Davy Jones and Catch CT Schmidt. It is probable that Jen- nings will give Brad Kocher a chance behind thel bat next season. Koci1er did we'll with Toronto this year and is regarded highly both as a hitter and as a backstop.
 The series between the Rochester champions and the All-Starsi of the Eastern aeague has been called off by President Barrows of the Eastern league. There was not much interest in the series and when the Rochester team refused to play yesterday it was decided to end the farce.

Giants vanquish Pirates And Now
 Start For PhiIa.
WiltSe Pitches Great Ball and Pirates Didn't Have Chance
 For Victory

Pittsburg, Oct 3-Another nail was yesterday when the Giants Pennant
 Special, with Johnny McGraw at the throttle, rolled peacefully over the
 Pittsburg Pirates to the tune of to 0 in the final National League contest of the year in the Smoky City. Only two more nails need be driven into the casket, and then it will be ready for shipment to Charley Murphy, who last week in a signed statement 1m- plored the Chicago fans not to give up the ship.
 George Hooks Wiltse was the man behind the nail Hooks simply stood the former ferocious Buccaneers on their beans, and toyed with them for nine innings. He had on a full head of ste m all the way and only two members of the Clark clan were able Ito gauge the slender kithogue's de- livery for singles, the lucky indfv1du- als being Max Carey and Jack Miller. Not a Pirate strutted past first base and only one was left on the paths so effective was Wiltse's pitching
 Only tWenty-eight Pirates trotted to the plate. and of these only four man. aged to reach Merkle's station, two on hits, a third on Wiltse's lone gratu- ity and a fourth on faulty peg by Fletcher the only blunder of the me- lee. Of the Pittsburg quartet to get on two were quickly wiped out on double plays while Myers pOtted Carey when that runner tried to steal. Miller, who made the only clean hit off George, was forced at second for the final out of the game by Byrne. Miller entered the contest as an ener- gency sticker, smiting for Hendrix on strikes. The Giants began scoring in the fourth, when they pushed their 1A ,1af ffoy~ xxy1aia iah a it turned out, was enough to win De- vore by his sreed again -Outfooted an infield splash whia.-- bounded over Hendrix's Wer<Nn dome.

Josh scored and Larry took third. Byrne saved fur ther trouble for Hendrix when he smothered Merkle's wicked welt and got the ball to first ahead of the first sacker.
 After putting the Giants down in or der in the fifth, Hendrix butted into another strenuous frame in the sixth, when the last two Manhattan tallies were rung up. Hooks paved the way for the fun when he lined a pretty sin gle to Leach's suburb.
