Bunny Ford in Draw
 With Harry Williams

New Haven, Sept. 25.-Bunny Ford and Harry Williams put up a great battle at the Arena last night for ten rounds and it was the windup of the best boxing show seen in this city for a good vlany years.
 The referee. Dave Fitzgerald, called the star bout a draw and this was about all he could do He certainly could not have given the bout to Ford, for Williams had mucb the bet ter of the last two rounds and in the tenth he had Ford groggy. Ford did not appear to as good advantage as he did in his fight with Charley Bergen and he moved slower. Will Jams put up the best fight of his 9areer. Ford weighed 134 pounds and Williams .138.

On the corner lots of St. Paul, Neb, the Young Saints held the title of tn e leading amateur team for years. Grover Cleveland Alexander was the leading slugger of the club. His field ing position was any place on the dia- mond buteon the hill In one game it Twas second, another behind the bat

 Cleveland was not t'born great pitcher. With that wonderful control, which is GA walks in 360 innings, an avera ge of less than two per game for 1915, one would imagine Grover had been a hill artist throughout his baseball career. But he hasn't. A chance, an 1 injury to the regular pitcher of the l Young Saints, gave Grover his chance l on the hill.

CHOOSE GUERNSEY OVER LIE GORE FOR
 FULLBACk AT YALE

New Haven, Sept. 25.-As a final preparation for the University of Maine game, the Yale football squad yesterday practiced in the Bowl for the first time this season. Morning work was omitted entirely and the afternoon drill was limited to signal rehearsal and bunting and catching kicks. The four eIevens declared that the playing surface of the Bowl was the best gridiron they ever trod
 Because of their recent indisposf- ton it was decided> not to start either Von Holt or Chub Sheldon at tackle and it is doubtful whether they will get into even the latter part of the game. Dick Kent, also is slightly in- disposed and Walden, one of the reg -ular guards last year will be started He is the only regular of last years eleven who will begin the opening game of this season in his former po- sition.
 Captain Wilson is the only other regular who will play tomorrow, but he has been shifted from quarterback The lineup, as selected, includes five members of last seasons freshmen team, Mosley, Gates, Baldridge, AL len and Thompson the last named be- ing given quarterback in place of Tom Lowry, who has held the place all the week. Pie Way, a regular guard two years ago, will be started at center with only three days experience. Guernsey has again been chosen for his regular position of two seasons ago, fullback, displacing Harry Le- Gore, who was regarded by many as the star of last seasons team. Jim Sheldon and Nal ScoviI were substi- 1 tutes last year and played in nearly all the games.

Brother Acts in Baseball.

While many of the diamond stars, including Mathewson and Ty. Cobb have kid brothers" who have tried their hand at professional, baseball, there have been comparatively few brother acts'' pulled off in major league circles. Wally Schang of the Athletics and Bog Schang of the Giants, form erly. of the Pirates. rep resent the latest addition to the list of brothers playing in the big league. The classic example of this kind was afforded by Harry, George. and Sam Wright, all of whom were stars in the early days of professi ona1 baseball
 The De1ehantys, the Tannehillsy and the Gleason-s are other famous exam pies in which baseball ability seem ed to run in the family Baseball taI- ent; like lightning, seIdo don strikes in the same place, however, and of the hundreds of younger brothers who have tried to follow in the footprints of famous elders. very few. have reached the goal of their ambition.

Rube Marquard Rounds Out
 Seventh Year in Big Show

That most eccentric, brilliant and
 unreliable of pitchers, Richard le Marquis alias Rube MarQuard, will round out his seventh year in the big show today. whether the famous Rube will be able to shine much longer remains to be seen. It is prac
 tically a cinch that Rube has a lot of good baseball left in his system, for he is only 26 years old, but whether
 he can get it out is the problem that is worrying his admirers. Many times in his career the Rube has looked like the veriest boob, only to come back in the very next game and pull off brilliant feat that made him look like the greatest ever. In any event, Mar
 quard is through in New York, for McGraw has had all the Rube he can assi n1ilatex and henceforth he is will ing to 1et other managers do the guessing about Marquard's condition It is proba b1e that no more start ling surprise party was ever pulled on any baseball player than on the occasion when Marquard was notified that he had been released to Toronto. Possibly the Rube expected to receive some such notification along about l~19125, but that it could come in the present year of grace had never en- tered his noddle Marquard fairly seethed at the thought of exile to the Canadian city, and, it is said, >swore l long and loud that he would never go hack to the -DuSheS- fSatneI tIldAA that he would deprive baseball of 1 his services, and leave it fiat. The upshot was that Marquard was sold | to Brooklyn for $2,500. Rube was receiving a salary of $7,500 from the 1 Giants, and had an ironclad contract (which was dated to expire at the close
 of the 1916 season.
 l Despite his generally Inferior work for the Giants this season and last,
 Rube broke into the Iirnelight in this period by his prowess in two note worthy contestsg In July, 1914, he | pitched the Giants to victory in the l National Leagues record game of 21 i innings. At that, the Rube struck out l only two Pirates, while the opposing 1 pitcher, Adams, famed half a dozen
 Giants Since then Marquard has 1 gained niche among the 40 'iUamor- i tals' of the National League by pitch
 ing a no-hit game.
 Marquard's debut seven years age l today was a sample of what was tc ! come, for the Reds knocked him oI l the rubber in a short period, Mar 1 quard had previously played with | Canton O.. and Indianapolis, and
 McGraw bought him from the Hoos-
 iers for $11,0OO. His lack of control
 still his great failing, made the title
 of "S1iO0O Lemon" bestowed upon
 him by the fans seem entirely appro-
 priate for in 1909 he won only five
 games out of the IS which he pitched
 In 1910 he showing was not much 1 better, but in 1911 McGraw's patience
 with the aItitudinous southpaw was
 rewarded.

 CLEVELAND TEAM

New York, Sept. 25-Lee FohPs 1owly tribe of Cleveland Indians hand ed the Yankees a sound thrashing in the opening game of the final series between the two teams at the Polo Grounds yesterday by the score or 4 to 1. And. has been the GUS tom of late, a young~pitcher, fresh from the minors, scored the triumph for the Indians. Garrett, lately of the Mason City Club. Iowa, was the name. of the recruit. and the very able manner in which he scored over the local outfit left no doubt that his stay with the Indians will be a long one.
 Only four hits were all that our Yankees were able to collect off Gar rett during the nine innings of pas timing.
 Dazzy Vance worked for the Tanks and besides being hit hard was wild Vance issued not less than six passes, many of them figuring in the scoring by the visitors. His wiIdness in the second helped the In dians to score a pair of runs.

His fast est time for one Jap yesterday was 1:0s:1O, or 106 mikes an hour.
 There were fifteen racers out yes terday, and it was a, thrilling sight to watch the machines come bounding down onto the straightaways from the banks, one a few inches behind an other. There werev several sprints be- tween the drivers. and when Resta made his fast time he passed three cars, all going attterrific speed. Many of the cars made an average of 100 miles an hour and all of them did better thar ninety miles an hour.
 Barney O1dfeId sent his Delage skipping around at 104 miles an hour. Barney explained that, although the racer he drove was his own, it was practically a, gift from David G.

RED SOX PLAYERS WILL HAVE 3 DAYS
 REST IN NEXT WEEK

Boston, Mass, Sept. 25-For the
 fifth time. this year, and since early August, the Red Sox, after .winning g seven games in a row, were beaten 8 to 4 in a game in which they were greatly outplayed. It was the St. Louis Browns who took the leaders S measure. The Red Sox, although they knew that Washington was getting the better of the Tigers, being unable to hold their pace. and seeing the visit ors lace out sevenl runs in the sew enth round. The Sox made a fine ninth inning rally, four men making the circuit, but twice as many points would only have tied the score.
 Branch Hickey picked out young Koob to do the pitching against the leaders and he b1anked them for eight innings. In the meantime Babe Ruth. Vean Gregg, and Rookey Cooper were being worked hard by Bill Carrigan. Tho Browns forced Ruth out of the game, putting braces of hits into the first three innings and scoring one run, but Gregg went nicely until the seventh, when he was pounded all over the lot and was niSerably supported by Gardner. Fiji 4nal1y Walker drove the ball over the left field fence and the Browns were sure of the game with an 8 to lead? ! President Lannin of the Red Sox said that there would be no attempt made to play the postponed C1eve- land games here, as doing so would mean a trip from Cleveland for the Indians and, besides the games would interfere with one of the matches between the Braves and Phillies. Bos- ton will have a, lay-off from Monday night until Friday next, when it will open its last series in Washington.
