On Saturday, the End, Middlebury
lost to Springfield Training school, on a
wet and muddy field, by score of 20
to 7. Although Middlebury was out
played throughout the whole game she
played with what she had till the last
whistle blew. With Bresnahan on the
sidelines owing to injuries received the
week before, Middlebury did not show
the usual machine work. Middlebury
also felt the loss of Sweetland, last
year a member of the backfeld of
Washington and Lee University, who
has left Middlebury to return to that
college.
Almost the whole game was played in
Middlebury's territory. Springfield made
all its gains on straight plays. The wet
condition of the ball and the grounds
made it impossible to work forward
passes. There was noticeable amount
of fumblng on the part of the Spring
field backfield. Hubbard received the
first kick, and ran the ball to the 27-yard
line, where Middlebury was held and
forced to punt. By a series of line
plays Springfield carried the ball over
for the first touchdown. In the second
period series of mass plays brought
the ball to Springfeld's seven-yard line,
where Springfield intercepted forward
pass and ran the ball back by the aid of
end runs and line plunges to Middle
bury's ten-yard line. A tumble gave
Middlebury the ball, and after punting,
Springfield rushed the ball back near
enough to try drop-kick. This failed
and the first half ended with no more
touchdowns.
Springfield made good gains in the
third quarter, but lost the ball several
times by fumbles. In the fourth quarter
Springfield added two more touchdowns.
In this quarter Jack Lynch plugged the
Springfield left tackle for % yards and
touchdown. The one serious accident
of the game was when in the first
quarter Whalen of Springfield dislocated
bone in his jaw.
The team is at work and with Bres-
nahan back in the backfield this week
Saturday Middlebury expects to give
Stevens good game on Porter field.

NEWARK WILL KEEP CLUB IN
 THE FEDERAL

New York, Aug. 3-Newark is, after all, to retain it's Federal League club. Announcement was made yesterday by. Harry Sinclair and Pat Powers, the owners, that they had decided to keep the franchise in the New Jersey metropolis. not only for the remainder of this season.. but, they hoped, for many years to come.
 In conjunction with this statement came the announcement that when the club returns to the Harrison grounds prices of admission will go into effect.
 Sinclair has also notified Bill Me Kechnie, the manager, that he is em- powered to sign players who have had major league experience, and whose services would aid materially in send ing the team to the top of the heap.
 These announcements take on added importance and interest from the fact that for the last few days Sinclair has been in conference at Atlantic City with President James E. Gilmore and Robert B.. Ward, head of the Brooklyn club, his conferees on the Finance Committee of the league. Evidently there is a movement on foot to reduce the prices all through the circuit and to make a concerted effort to sign clauses.
 The decision to keep the club in Newark discourts the recent report that Sinclair would bring his team to New York next season, and play at the Harrison grounds only on Sundays Some other franchise is to be brought here, for it is as certain as it can be i that this city is to be represented in l the independent circuit next season.

WIN BY
 RALLY IN NINTH

New Y ork, Aug. 3.-Luck was with
 the Yankees yesterday at the Polo
 Grounds when they beat the Chicago
 White Sox by scoring three runs in
 the ninth inning Up to almost the
 very last moment it looked like a
 shut-out $ for the home team but timely hitting and a timely tumble
 by Eddie Collins paved the way for
 a to victory.
 F'aber had been pitching pretty well
 and coming into the ninth inning with
 his two run lead the Yankees chances looked very small. Maisel started
 the ninth with a fly to Murphy, but Pipp drove out a flashing single to centre. Cook. duplicated Pipp's per lformance, sending Mullen, who ran tor Pipp to third Barney smashed a hot one to Eddie Collins which he 5uggled like a hot potato Cook should have been forced and there was a possibility of a double play, but Mullen scored. Baumann sent up a fly to J. Collins, and then entered Roy Hartzell, the old reliable, in place of. Alexander.
 He stung one along the right held foul line and Cook scored on it. Bar ney went to third and Roy took sec ond on the play for the plate. Nuna- maker was sent into hit for Brown l and he walked. filling the bases F'a- Der had just been taken out and Scott ! was sent to the mound. A wild pitch l let Barney in with the winning run-

With 900 persons looking on, Roamer, the four-year-o1d son of Knight Errant, not only outran his field with ease. but equa.lIed the rec ord for the event. The star of An drew Mt11er's stable covered the mile and a quarter in 2:O4 2-5, matching the standard set in 1906 by Dandelion, owned by Frank R. Hitchcock.
 Second to Roamer by ten lengths came Saratoga, rather well liked by hunch players and others at to 1 for place. Star Jasmine was third by a length, beating off Trial by Jury a head. Water Blossoms, Sharpshoot- CT and Borrow, the popular choices. did not figure. Borrow suffered the ignorniny of coming home last, about 30 lengths behind the winner.

EATERS MAKE FUNNY
 MOTIONS BEFORE THEY
 FACE ENEMY PITCHERS

< 7
 Eaters have their peculiar notions about taking their positions at bat, and most of them have some little. oddities they indulge in just before stepping into the batsman's box A few really beliave that by going through a certain set of motions and ridiculous didos it will bring good luck. Others do it for effect, a grand- stand play, or for their own anuse- nnent.
 However the great batsmen of the game, with few exceptions, rarely in ! duIge in any Of this fancy stuff either before or after getting to the plate. Sam Crawford, Lajoie,s Honus Wag- ner, Home Run Baker, and a few others of our famous batsmen have
 very businesslike air about them when taking their positions at the plate The fact that they are there is sufficient to worry any pitcher.
 A chap by the name of Lewee,1 who used to play with Kansas City, had a stunt he always pulled off before hit 1, ting at a ball that reminded one of an Indian medicine man going through his mysterious incantations invoking aid from the Father of the. great waters.
 Just before his turn came to- face l the pitcher IeWee would take his leap in his left hand. then, swinging it slowly around. would face. the sun
 that it, if it were visible then l walk slowly to the plate, step on it
 with. both feet, carefully turn around
 twice, step back and hit the, ball. that is, if he did not strike out.
 Ty Cobb makes a great fuss before going to the plate. and generally ere I ates a great fuss after reaching it I Fy swings an armful of bats for 2 long time before he stalks to the plate, but. he only uses one, although I many pitchers imagine he still has the harmful by the manner in which he 4 1ambasts tI1eb all. Cobb has some
 stunts that are annoying to the sl pitcher that he pulls off in between ] balls and strikes, whichever the case might be-. He will pose as if ready for the onslaught, then suddenly stoop down and grab a handful of dirt sI just as the pitcher is about to pitch. I Ty does not seem to worry whether the ball goes over the plate or not, for T Cobb takes a strike about as meekly as any man in the league=but he can l afford to.
 I Both Mike Kelly and Arlie Latham
 have the credit for being the first
 players to take their bats and draw sl 3, line indicating his position, or where he would stand and dare the pitcher
 to put the ball within a mile of it. tSometimes aftr drawing the line La
 tham would pull his cap over one eye,
 cross his legs. and lean on his bat and I Caps Anson never said much be-
 fore coming to bat. or when at bat, for he like Cobb. had very little regard l for ball or strikes, for he knew he could hit it when he was ready. But 1 after hitting, if the umpiress decision lrobbed him of what he thought was T a safe drive or decision at first went lagainst him then you would hear Pops roar a mile away

BartheId has had an in and out career. but recently he Jumped into the spotlight when he was conceded to have the better of the famous Mike Gibbons ini a 1o- round go in Brooklyn. afa
 Just what kind of a chance he will stand with Glover depends entirely upon what kind of a punch he car Iries. Glover can stand plenty of pun ishment and knows how to hand it out to his opponent.
