BY OLD TIMER.

While the cost of living has been ad-
vancing at leaps and bounds during the
past quarter of a century. the foodstuffs
have nothing on the worlds baseball
series during the. same length of time.
The first titular series to be played was
staged in 1884 between the Providence and
Metropolitan teams, respective winners Of
the pennants in the National and Ameri-
can association The gaines were played
In New York and the Providence team
was the victor
: In 1855 the Chicago club, led by Spaid-
ing. and the st Louis Browns. under Won
der Abe. played a series, but the results
were unsatisfactory TO ali parties con-
cerned. Seven games were played, each
club winning three, the FIRST contest be-
ing an eight-inning to tie.
Played for s1,o6o Purse.
What would be the poor downtrodden
ball players of the present day do with
their splits" had they participated in the
worlds series of 1855? Then the immense
sum OF loo was hung up by Spalding and
Won der Abe as the rich stake for which
the players bsttled. compare this paltry
sum 20 receipts of the Red Sox-Giants
series Of last fall In 1872 the players d.
vided sl47, ,51.5o The members OF the win
ming club receiving split of Sl@46S each
and the losers s.. .5es.4o. Each member OF
the losing team in 1872 received two and
times as much for his share as
the total purse hung up for the 1885
series.
Then again. in the early days, the play
ers did not have any lucrative offers from
Leading merchants of the country to lend
their names, to be used in various kinds
Of advertisements. Neither was there any
great fight on among the leading news
papers to sign the star players Of the
day to do the titular series for them.

FORWARD PASS MUCH IN USE

College Park, Md Oct 1S.-The
Maryland Agricultural College took an
other half-hiteh in their claim to the
football championship, of Maryland
when they today defeated the eleven
from the Western Maryland University
by the Overwhelming score of As to 0.
The Aggies greatly outweighed the
visitors, and were able to gain ground
at will. the home team losing the ball
but once on downs. The visitors
seemed TO depend great deal on the
forward pass to gain ground. and on
but few occasions was it successful.
There was always a hitch. and in the
last quarter Loomis caught one and
went over for a touchdown. The visit
ors put UP their strongest game dur
ing the last few moments of both
halves In the second quarter they
took the ball TO the Aggies' 15-yard
line, mainly through the use OF the
forward pass, and it was only at this
stage that they were successful with
this play.
AS the quarter ended the upstate
boys made a poor, attempt at goal
from the field- Within the last few
moments Of play Western Maryland
had a splendid chance to make score.
but could not get through the Farm
ers' line. They had taken the ball to
the Aggies' 25-yard line. The Aggies
held, and on the fourth down an In
completed forward pass fell over the
line as the anal whistle blew. Lineup
