card Of the grand circuit meeting here
yesterday, was won in straight heats by
Russell Boy, driven by Pop" Geers. Alta

BIG ELEVENS IN THIS SECTION
HAVE EASY GAMES SCHEDULED
South Atlantic Teams Should Win Today
Contests Without Trouble-G. u. Scouts
Watch North Carolina Play.

The Virginia Military Institute plays
Gallaudet. The Kendall Greeners have
their backfield of last year entire. with
the exception of Moore. and what is
said to be just as powerful line as
that of 1914. Gallaudet is considered
very capable. despite the loss of Foltz
and Moore, stars of the eleven a year
ago. and may make a better showing
tfan is generally expected. As a mat
ter OF fact. there is a fair chance that
the local college will win, though "
M. l. is favored because of its better
condition.
The North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College has n team of well
developed proportions. and ought to
win from Roanoke College easily. The
first mentioned combination is being
coached by Jack Hegarty, fromer
Georgetown star. and he himself shows
no hesitancy In claiming his men to be
well in the race for south Atlantic
championship honors. Hampden Sidney
will be only fair match for the Nir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, the latter
being strong enough to win easily.
Marshall College is to go to Lexington
for a contest with Washington and Lee
and is likely to be beaten by big
margin.
For the first time this year all the
colleges in Maryland will be active.
Johns Hopkins, coached by Brickley,
opens its season and the eyes of every
body connected with that institution
will be on the team because of the
widespread hopes for a successful year.
St. Johns goes to Lancaster. Pa, to
play Franklin and Marshall. There are
two games in the race for the state
championship, that between Hopkins
and Mount St. Mary's. and between
Western Maryland and Washington
College. Hopkins and Western Mary
land are the probable victors. Hopkins.
especially, should win from the st.
Mary's eleven by big margin. The
Maryland Aggies play Catholic Univer-
sity here in what is probably a harder
contest than they will have to face
again this season.

Fleetness of foot is something the
Pills have never been accused Of but
the agile hoof figured largely in the
Pills runs yesterday. They We're lucky
in having their two fleetest men at

would have awaited them anything.
Had a heavier-footed sprinter than
George Whitfield hit that slow bounder

third in the fourth the Phils would
never have scored their first rum and
had it been a less agile Splinter than
Davey Bancroft who hit that grounder

wouldn't likely have been any scores

CUBS DROP THE THIRD.
Pierce Blows Up After Holding Sox
Runless Seven Innings.

CHICAGO. October 9.-Pierce blew up
in the eighth inning of the third game
in the Inter-League series between the
Sox and Cubs yesterday and the Ameri-
can Leaguers won the game. to 2.
Through seven bleak chilly innings
Pierce had held the Sox when, in the
eighth, they filled the bases. with no
outs, on Viewers single. E. Collins
walk and Felsch's bunt. Then Jackson
doubled, scoring Weaver and E. Col
Inns. Blackburne doubled, scoring two
more runs. went to second on an out,
and. with label pitching, Schalk sim

The Nationals made a game rally In
the ninth, when on pass. thinner
mans double, an infield out and J.
Collins error, they scored two runs.
Zimmerman's hitting featured the
game. getting four hits out of as many
times at bat.

The big teams in the south Atlantic

Mercedes team from Annapolis. The
training ship eleven will not prove a
match for the Blue and Gray and IL the
coaches Of the local university care to
they can run up an enormous score.
Virginia, which probably always will
be associated somewhat with George
town whether or not they play each
other, is sure to score lot of points
against Richmond College. In fact.
the game will serve as nothing other
than a splendid workout for the sec
ond and third string players.
The University of North Carolina
plays Wake Forest, and. while 1t Is ex-
pected to win, harder game than
usual may be played. Wake Forest
should do nothing more than give 1t
hard fight, though. Incidentally George
town wants Wake Forest to put up a
stiff contest against the Tarheels. as IT
will have scouts present. The North
Carolina eleven will have to show all
the stuff it is possessed of to win if it is
hard pressed, which would suit George
towns purposes well. The local insti-
tuition meets North Carolina here next
Saturday. and Is leaving no stone yh-
turned in its effort to insure itself as
near as possible of a victory. George
town is not in the least underestimate
ing the strength of the North Carolina
eleven.

the Athletics and the Boston

Moran Will Have to Rely Entirely
on Alexander Depends on Showing of
Chalmers-Gossip Of Friday Game

prise he had been guilty of leaving the
bag unguarded.
1t was his inexperience which caused
the error of judgment, for it is in
stinct for an infielder to go to his bag
whenever the ball is hit to one of his
colleagues. Scott did not do this, how
ever, and 1t undoubtedly had much to
do with his teams defeat.
Not one of the hits credited to the
Phillies were clean-cut or on a line.
Paskerts Texas Lacquer was, in fact.
the only one of the safeties Moran
crew is credited with which was not
handled in the infield. There is a whole
the fact that the ground was soggy
helped the Phillies more than a little.
Ty Cobb, who sat in the press box
about the sixth inning that Alexander
was giving the signs of what he was
about to pitch to Burns. his catcher,
while Burns was only going through
the motions of signaling the veteran
twirler.
Alexander's signaling was done with
his cap. Any time he touched 1t a
curve ball was to be expected, and 1t is
fortunate that he was not pitching
against the Detroit Tigers or he might
have been pounded, for Ty Cobb dis
covered the code and for three innings
those sitting around him had the sat
isfaction of knowing what sort of q
ball Alexander intended to pitch.
For some unaccountable reason none
of the Boston pitchers ever lay their
gloves near the inf1eld, as do most of
the pitchers on other teams. 1t has
been noticed by several players that
there is never a chance to get a look
at the gloves of the Boston pitchers,
because all of them carry them in their
hip pockets between innings and when
they go to the bat.
What this is done for is not ex-
planned. though it may be one of Carri-
gan's superstitions.
National League adherents believe the
Phillies will duplicate the Braves feat

BOSTON, Mass, October 9.-Betting
on today's world series game was even
in Boston last night. Admirers Of the

all their bets covered. Most Of the

Scott Fails to Cover.
Alexander, the first man up, was out
at first when he grounded to Barry.
Stock, however, worked Shore for
base and Bancroft followed with hard
hit ball to the right of second base.
Barry covered a lot of ground on 1t
and finally reached it with his bare
hand and drew back to throw 1t to
second, but Scott was not there and
when he finally concluded to cover the
bag, Stock was there ahead of him.
This put two on and one out. Shore
luck 1t worried him and he walked
Paskert filling the bases. Cravath's
slow srounder to Scott could not be
thrown to the plate SO Stock came
home amid the cheers of the maddened
thousands Shore added to the pro-
ductiveness of the inning when Luz
derus tapped little grounder at him
and he failed to touch it in trying to
pick it up, Bancroft running over the
plate.
Barry, the first man up in the ninth,
was set down on strikes. Henriksen.
pinch hitting for Cady and always
lucky, hit to Luderus, who fumbled
long enough to allow the pinch hitter
to beat it out. Carrigan. hoping that
Ruth would get one of his famous long
drives, sent him to bat for Shore. but
the best he could do was to send an
easy grounder to Luderus This put
Henriksen on second and Hooper up.
but Alexander was extending himself
and a low curve ball was popped UP to
Luderus by Hooper and the game was
over. The score:

BY J. ED aRILLo.

Whether the Phillies will have to rely
entirely on Alexander for their effective
pitching will be learned today when
Chalmers, the able assistant of Alex
ander, Is slated to face the Red Sox.
Chalmers is said to be fit and ready,
and If he can have the same breaks
that Alexander got yesterday, he is
pretty sure to win.
Foster will likely be Carrigan's
choice. for he Is not anxious to work
either of his left-handers against the
Phillies unless conditions force him to.
Alexander will, of course, be ready
again Monday. With two days rest he
Is apt to be a whole lot more effective
than he was in the opening game, in
which he was by no means a puzzle.
though he did succeed in keeping the
eight hits made off Of him widely scat
tered. Those who are familiar with
Alexis work insist that he was not any
where near his true form. and that it
was only his judgment in the tight
places that prevented him from suffer
ing a defeat.
1t was noticeable at the outset that
the big fellows curve ball did not
break as it should. 1t would break
long before it reached the plate and.
Of course. was not fooling the batters
as 1t should. But as the game pro-
crossed he showed marked improve
ment and with a couple of days rest
he is very apt to prove stumbling
block to the Red Sox, for 1t is argued
that now that he has faced them he
will know much better how to pitch to
the various batters than was the case
on opening day.
Shore will have to learn to field his
position before he can ever expect to
win games in a world series. 1t was
his bungling work in this respect that
did much to help the Phillies. For in
stance. in the fourth inning Whitfield 8
down by him had he stretched his arm.
But instead he sort of ducked as II he
was afraid of the ball. In the eighth
he helped the Phillies to another run
when he failed to hurry Luderus' lit
tie tap, which he failed to touch at all,
and another run ran home. He erred
on Stocks tap in the fifth and was
charged with an error by the official
scorers, though Stock probably should
have been charged with a hit.
When Bancroft's drive shot from the
Phillies shortstop's bat Everett Scott
did not think that 1t was anything but
a genuine base hit. But Jack Barry.
who Is playing marvellous ball at sec
ond. speared the ball with his bare
hand as 1t was passing him. and DO
fore Scott could recover from his sur
