for stealing second" with the bases
i full. but the "boob of boobs'' is the

| If $4,000 was refused as much as

| Newark Club. No, not in the last
thousand years has anything like it
been 'pulled' in this old town of
ours. It was a rich. ripe. juicy

With Ban Johnson in favor of the
present worlds series arrangements,
and with Tom Lynch saying "Me.
too,' in the same tone of voice, the
plea of Garry Hermann to have all
the big league teams play post
season series for the championship
seems to be due for shelving. All
three men are members of the Ma
tional Commission, and it would be
kind of up to them to say how the
worlds series games should be
gone on record for the system now in
vogue, We will bow to their will,
although some day those world s
series games will be the means of
giving baseball the biggest black eye
of it's existence. Out of the series
come, year after year, some sort of
scandal. 1t is either the wall of the
fans against the ticket scalpers or
the wall of the fans against the gam
blers. Both of these are serious, and
the big men in baseball will find it
out some day to their sorrow. OF
course, we are just as anxious as
the next one to see those delightfully."-
exciting games, and we know they
are faithfully fought and honestly
won, and that the tickets are ham
died, perhaps, as well as anyone
could possibly handle them. Still and
ALL some day and in a not distant
day either, the worlds series as at
present conducted will gum the
cards as sure as we are alive.

The college football games sched-
uled for today are not likely to pro-
duce anything that will give us real
line on the ability of the big elevens.
| Pennsy has the hardest game, for she
is to meet Brown, generally a most
difficult proposition. Yale has a tough
nut in Lehigh, but Princeton against
Syracuse and Harvard against
Holy Cross are games that no one
need worry about The big colleges
however. are working up to the big
games nicely, and by the time that
in shape we will know more about,
and perhaps all about, their respective
merits. Just now Harvard seems to
stand out, with Princeton the next in
view. Yale doesn't look much, but
you can never tell anything about
I Yale. When the Ellis are wonders
they are generally held in check and
when they are not so good everybody
| believes they are being held in check.
There is plenty of time to talk foot
big teams and the big games will be
on tap.
