OLD STYLE PLAY
Is OUT OF DATE
HIT AND RUN GAME rs NOT
PLAYED IN BIG SHOW.
Tendency Now to INTRODUCES New Sys-
tom Of Playing and Drop
the Old Tricks.

Winning ball clubs nave abandoned
the old style hit and run play in favor
Of the more modern and much more
successful run n hit play. These
sound like the same thing. but they
are rot.
The old hit and run is worked on
signal from the batter. With a run
ner On first tase. the batter will give
him some sign, meaning that he is
going TO hit the next ball. IL he pos
sibiy can. from that moment the
play becomes automatic. The only
chance for the use of intelligence or
judgement on this play is with the
batter's ability to guess when the
pitcher IL going 10 serve mp a ball
thatthat he will have a fair nance TO
hit. The instant he has given his
sign the play becomes cut and dried.
The batter is under obligation TO hit
the next ball pitched. II he can. no
matter what kind OF a ball II is.
while the unner is in duty bound to
20 down to second. no matter whether
he can get any kind of a lead or not.
The play is prolific Of alibis. II the
batter does not hit safely he can
complain that IL wasn't a good ball.

and the batter hitting. no matter what

often than IL succeeds. especially

Hitting at bad balls is the most

in the world. Teams like the Giants

1t seems to be almost certain that a

themselves as being far from satisfied

COACHES DRILLING
ARMY MEN IN ART
OF GOAL KICKING
First Scrimmage at West
q Point Held Since the
Stevens Game.

WEST POINT. N. Y. Oct. 1o-The
Army team had its first scrimmage yes
terday afternoon since the Stevens
game last Saturday. The men were
drilled In goal kicking and the ends
were coached In getting down under
punts, Hobbs and Prichard doing the
kicking. The former is southfoot
kicker and gets his punts OF fast and
for long distances. Hobbs also shone
brilliantly In the back field and made
several fine runs for long gains. He is
without doubt one of the best backs the
Army team has had In years.
Prichard seems fixture at quarter
and his handling of punts and running
them back in broken field was one of
the features OF yesterdays practice.
Markoe was In at end in Gillespie's 8
place and played a hard and fast game.
Lyman also played In Hoges place on
the other end and did well. Captain
Deyore only played In part Of the scrim-
mage. Five touchdowns were scored by
the regulars.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct. 1o.-wal-
ter Camp. jr.. was in the varsity scrim-
mage for the first time this year yes
terday afternoon. Lefty Flynn, who
has been playing the regular fullbeck
position for about ten days was not
at the field because OF recitations. and
Camp took his place.
Camp Is not yet up to his last years
standard and shows the effects of his
recent illness. As 1t wac he made ere
of the touchdowns. Captain SpaldinB,
who was in the game for the first time
in q week, tore of q couple Of line
plunGes which Markle duplicated, and
then after a couple Of short gains
through the freshman guards Camp
took the ball over the line for touch
down.
Camp retired from tho game soon af-
terward. as did Spalding and Markle.
and new string OF backs went in,
Beckert for Markle. Castles for Spald-
ing. and weiser for Camp. The new
backs made NO spectacular plays. but
by steady rushing brought the ball to
the le-yard line. From there Castles
went straight through center and over
the line.

ANE. N, F. CAR

That there are big possibilities of
the sale of American-made automo-
biles In China Is indicated by advices
received by Studebaker Brothers Co..
to the effect that DR.. Sun Vat Sen. the
first President Of the new Chinese Re-
public, had placed an order for two

This interesting sale was made by
II. S. Honigsberg of Shanghai. the
Oriental representative OF the Stude-
baker Brothers Company Of CalifoT-
MIA.
The communication announcing the
sale of the two Americanmade ma
chimes was written by the Oriental
representative of the Studebakef
Company just as he was leaving
Shanghai for Marking to deliver the
cars to DR.. Sen. Honigsberg stated
in his letter that he had lined up the
members OF DR.. Sens cabinet and was
assured OF dlsposing OF one car to
each of the cabinet members.
II is well known that the Studebak-
er products are well known In China
Last year no less than 200 cars were
sold to prominent Chinese and Amer
lean families In that country.
Honigsberg attributes his success In
placing the Studebaker cars on the
Chinese market to advertising. the

carried on his selling campaign In
China on the same lines as those uset
