DARTMOUTH TO HAVE.
 LIGHTEST TEAM EVER

Hanover, N. H., Sept. 2O.-The tra- ditional big Green team is no more. When two Dartmouth elevens followed the ball around the field in a sharp signal practice Thursday afternoon, the lightness of the line material was shot home with telling force.
 The team that faces off for Dart mouth against the Massachusetts Az gies in the first game, September 27, will be the 1ightest ombination that has been sent in for the college for a score of years.
 The college exercises have brought the last of the football candidates to Hanover, and Coach Cavanaugh is studying the situation for the first time with a clear cut knowledge of the means at hand for the develop nlent of the eleven. There is a chance for a fair first team, but from whence adequate substitutes will be forthcom- ing is indeed an irritating question in Hanover.
 Hinman, right guard, tops the scales at 190, but all the other men are 170 or below. Pudrith, left tackle, weighs ITO; w. Rogers, left guard, ITO; Dun bar, center, 169, and Hogsett and Lou den, the two ends, 15S apiece These men Friday formed the forward rush line. which two years ago averaged 192 pounds. To drill accurate open work into the men and to instiI1 a fighting spirit seems to be the only solution of such a situation.

HOPPER PITCHES
 WELL AT ST. LOUIS
New Haven Recruit Has One
 Bad Inning Against Giants.

The New York Press says of Booth Hopper, formerly of New Haven, who pitched against the Giants yesterday:
 Marquard was next to invincib1e in the second event, and he held thu Cardinals to three sparse hits. Hop per, pitching recruit from the East ern Association, fought off the Rube for six rounds. but he lost his control in the seventh, when, with two out, he jammed the bases with gratuities and Merkle's single drove in two runs.
 Outside of this inning Hopper pitched splendid game, and looks as though he should stick in the majors, Only five hits were combed from his delivery.
 Hopper was pitching great ball in the second game, until he caved un- der in the seventh. Fletcher was hit by a pitched ball, and stole second. Burns fouled to Mowrey and Shafer popped to Whftted. It looked as though the youngster would get out of the inning without further trouble, but he stocked the bases by walking Murray and then hitting Meyers.
 'eMerkle, who made one-third of the nine hits collected by the Giants today, was the pinch kid, and drove a solid single to centre. scoring F'1etc1- CT and Murray. Marquard also sim g1ed to centre, but Oakes nipped Mey- CTS at the pan, trying to score from second on the hit.''
 New York won by 2 to 0.

JESSE BURKETT SAYS
 HE'LL QUIT BASEBALL

Jesse Burkett one of the best known baseball players in the United States and known the country over as the Human Crab, is planning to sell his stock in the Worcester club of the New England league, give up his lead ership of the team and retire from the game for good, according to reports that are current among baseball men
 The story has been going the rounds for several days but the magnates scoffed at the idea Of the old war horse quitting the game at which he has been successful. In Worcester the other night, at a banquet to the Worcester players by Paul McHale, owner of one-third interest in the club. the question was put squarely up to Burkett and he side-stepped it. The fact that Jesse did not promptly deny the report was surprise to everyone present and leads them to think that it must have some foundation
 Jesse was in an unusually good hu- nor at the banquet. He asked all of the players to forgive him for calls he had given them during the season and remitted a $10 fine he imposed on Shorten early in the season for failing to touch third base. This was the only fine imposed by Burkett during the en- tire year.

" COBB LEADS JOE JACKSON AND
 SPEAKER AT BAT

Chicago, Sept. 2O-Cobb, of Detroit, with an average of .3S6; Jackson, of Cleveland, with .374, and Speaker, of Boston, with .369, are making a neck and neck finish in the race for first batting honors in the American League. Cobb's 12 point lead and the approach of the seasons end make him favorite now. Places in the 300 class of the American League are held mainly by veterans. Henricksen, of Boston, whose illness has kept him out of practically all the games of the latter half of the season, pounded the ball for an average of 1851 while he was playing his 25 games and that percentage is enough to keep him in fourth place.
 Next in order are Eddie Collins, Philadelphia. .342; Lajoie, Cleveland. $40; Baker, Philadelphia, .333; Mo Innis, Philadelphia, .323; Gandil Washington, 1928; Bauman, Detroit, BY; D. Murphy, Philadelphia, .315; Crawford. Detroit, .308; A. Williams, Washington, .306; Le1ivelt, Cleveland, .3O6; Stova1l, St. Louis, 1903; Shaefer, Washington, .301.
 Milan of Washington, now has 65 stolen bases and there is hardly a chance for anyone to catch him, though Moeller, of the same team has 56.
 Pitchers records in the American League show Johnson of Washington ahead as usual. The first six rank: Johnson, Houck of Philadelphia, Fall kenburg of Cleveland, Wood of Bos- ton Bender of Philadelphia, and Walsh of Chicago.

CARL MORRIS IS
 WINNER IN SECOND
Knocks Out Al Reich, Former Amateur Champ, With Ease.

A left to the body and a right cross to the jaw, and a promising white heavyweight went into the discard last night Al Reich, until recently the amateur champion, flushed with his victory over. Sailor White, went up against too strong a proposition in Carl Morris in Madison Square Gar den last night, with the result that the young athlete was knocked out in the second round. The final Wallop came after l minute and 13 seconds of action in that session.
 Morris outcIassed the erstwhi1e Simon pure at every angle. Nothing but rank avarice or stupidity could have prompted Reich's managers in rushing him along to a bigger and more experienced man of Car1's cali bre. Not only did Morris, scaling at 235 pounds, outweigh Reich by more than twenty-five pounds, but he stood head and shoulders above him Reich under which he was to labor when he entered the ring, and had a look that was hardly one of confidence.
 Morris must have been dead certain of beating Reich. or he never would have accepted a bout in the condition he displayed last night He carried at least ten pounds of extra weight on the stomach, and otherwise ap- peared too chubby for a real hard tussle.
 While he did not appear any too fit, Morris showed vast improvement in technique. He was really a bit clever, and in his short stay in the round displayed fine head work

FRED BIERKLE ROUNDS OUT
 SIXTH YEAR IN BASEBALL

Frederick MerkIe does not wear a Car-nay-gee hero medal on his manly buzzun1. but he deserves it. Mister Merkle, the star first bagger of the New York Giants, will celebrate to- morrow the sixth anniversary of his National League debut. There are many serious solemn and painful memories of his early baseball career stored up in the bean-once popularly believed to be solid ivory-of MT
 Merk1e. There were days of shame and mental agony when he could say, with the poet, My head is ivory, but unbowed." All the more glory to him that he has lived down his past, that he refused to be crushed by the obloquy, cohtumely, odium, censure, reproaches, fnfamy, contempt, censor ious speech, harsh language and pop bottles heaped upon him by the null titude. There was time when he was as friendless as an umpire, when street urchins cast aspersions and things upon him, when there was none so poor as to do him reverence. Any man not constructed of the stuff of which heroes are made would have gone down for the full count under such an onslaught of universal abuse. Fred Merkle only held his head-said to be bone-the higher. An expert ence. such as his either makes or breaks a man, and most usually the ldLI6I. IL was the making or fTeO Merkle, for it aroused in him a grim and bulldog determination to succeed, to prove to the world that his oranial appendage was as other men',s and not solid ivory.
 Merkle played his first game in the big show on Sept. 21, 1907. A little over a year later, when the Giants and the Cubs were tied for the pennant, and an extra game was played on the Polo Grounds to decide the issue, MerkIe pulled the famous stunt that made his name synonymous with "bonehead." In failing to touch sec, ond he cost his team the champion ship, and big wad of worlds series coin. Players, press, pulpit and pub lie called down curses and objurga- tions upon his head-said head, in the opinion of many prominent physicians present at the obsequies, being of some dense and solid material, prob ably bone. Lynching, tar and feathers and boiling in oil were among the pun 1shments suggested by the enraged fans, but all were discarded as being totally inadequate for such a crime. There was general consensus of opinion, forcibly expressed by the scribes and Pharisees, that Merkle should be Immediately canned. Me Graw didn't agree with the mob, and refused to sacrifice Merlle to make a Gotham holiday. And so it happens that Fred Merkle is out there yet, fill ing the shoes of the able Fred Penney and the great Dan McGann, and do- ing some mighty quick and nifty thinking for a party whose head was once subjected to so much criticism.

BRITISH GOLFERS FAvORITES OVER
 YOUNGER QUINTET

Brookline, Mass. Sept. 20-The golf ing battle between England and Amer ica for the nineteenth open champion ship with Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, two seasoned British veterans, playing 20 year old Francis Ouimet of this town, in an IS hole contest, be- gan today, in a typical Scotch mist. Yet the sodden turf and dripping trees failed to keep back one of the largest galleries that ever followed a golf match in this country. One hundred club members armed with red flags and 100 fathoIns of rope were necessary to keep the eager crowd from tread ing on the heels of the three players and give them breathing space on the greens.

TO-DAY IN PUG1L1sr1C ANNALS.

1863-Patsy Sheppard began his pugilistic career by winning the anna teur lightweight title of Ireland in a tournament near Dublin. Sheppard, long one of the lightweight stars of the ring was born in Ireland in 1847, and was only sixteen when he began boxing. A year later he turned pro- fessional, and during the ten years from 1864 to 1874 he fought nearly all the good men of his weight in Eng land, Ireland and America. After re- tiring from the ring he became one of the trainers and packers of John l.. Sullivan. Sheppard died a few months ago in Boston, which city he had long made his home.

MIXED BOUTS GAN BE
 HELD IN NEW YORK STATE

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 20 To avoid disturbances of the peace, the State Athletic Commission may prohibit sparring exhibition between white and colored persons, but the conmis- sion should not attempt to prohibit mixed matches if it's action is based solely on the question of race dis crimination.
 Attorney-Generatl Carrody has so advised the commission in response to an inquiry.
 Some time ago the commission adopted rule prohibiting mixed matches, a rule which was questioned when efforts. were made to arrange bout between Sam Langford, coiorcd, and Frank Moran. The comm ;SSion refused to approve the proposed match and Carmody was asked to pass upon the validity of their ruling.

He was pur- chased by Indianapolis, but when he reported in September he was in poor physical shape and couldn't play. AL bany then sold Holden to the New London club of the Eastern Associa- ton, where he turned out to be a sensation last spring and summer. H.
