Oct. .--rhere faas been no harder football in the; sfadIum this year than that which tie Harvard Varsity team was sent into by Percy Haughton yesterday af-s tern0pf The regulars and supstl-. tutes scri11I mag ged for more than an hour and a half against the second team, scoring five times and twice checking the scrubs attack when it had driven the ball almost to the goal line.
 Ths 4irst team looked more natural than for several days with Mahan and. I<fng both in the backfeId again with E:asTvrx9 9Et Mahan is now in shape, and he and King will play against sti4e Indians Saturday Enwright did some splendid rushing and scored one of the touehdowns. but later in. the afternoon he received q severe. blow on the left knee and the injury Is one I1ich will keep him out of the going for several weeks,
 Some of the coaches fear that he win not be able to play again this fall but in any event his loss will be a. gHsat handicap. Enwrlght was a most promising player bus waF one who needed a lot of work and con- stant coaching in order to become regular for the final game with Yale and Princeton.

WILLIE RlTCHIE AND DUNDEE BOUT
 CALLED OFF NOW

New York, Oct. 7.-There will be no boxing bout between Willie Ritchie and Johnny Dundee at Madison Square sGafaen tonight. Tine sbo oHt was mot postponed. buASf has beas# called off be- cause of the peculiar conditions which have arisen in connection with the re- ing has been conducted at the Gar den.
 The license under which the boxing bouts have been held at Madison square Garden expired on Thursday. Sept. 30. Since the time of Billy Gib- sonss regime, boxing at the Garden has been held upon the management of William H. Wellman, but as there have been several applicants for the privilege of conducting boxing shows there the owners of the building have not granted the concession to Mr. Wellman for another year.
 MT. WeIIman, under the impression that Governor Whitman would not app point the new boxing commission be- fore Oct. l. on the assurance from the Present commission that 1t would is-. sue no new licenses to any one, went ahead and concluded arrangements for the RitcEie-Dundee bout
 Whoever receives the license for the boxing bouts is responsible to the State, Athletic commission for the conduct of the boxers and for the manner in which the bouts are held. It is possi- bIe for the owners of the building to secure the license in their own name, but this they evidently did not desire to do, nor have they shown a willing ness to have MT. Wellman continue as manager of the boxing club.

WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

The Remington-Arrns football players will open their season octo-- Der IT in a game in this city against the Williams A. c. of New Haven. This is the arrangement at present. The Williams team is one of the strongest in New Haven and made a fine record last season. The Arms stars of the Yost team and expects to take the state title.
 The weather may play an inpor- tant part in deciding the worlds championship The Philadelphia observer says it is likely to rain in the Quaker City tomorrow. If rain causes the first game to be postponed until Saturday the Phillies will have ble to use Alexander in the first game and then, after Sundays rest, to send him back again on; Monday. With everybody so confident that Alexander will tranple on the Red Sox wouldn't it be a terrible jolt if the Boston sluggers she11ed him from the mound in the first game?
 Larry Doyle of the Giants, still has a, lead of one-half point over Lu-' derus of PhiIies for the National two hits in eight times up yesterday. Doyle's average is .S147 and Lu- derus' .3142.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES.

1so PhiIadelphia Jack O'Brien defeated Tommy Burns in six rounds at Milwaukee. This was the first of three bouts between O'Brien and Burns, both of whom claimed the heavyweight honors when Jim J Jeffries retired in 1905. The Phi1adeIphian and the Canadian were undoubtedly the best men the ring then had, a1- though Jeffrtes picked out Jack Root and Marvin Hart to contest for the title Both O'Brien and Burns were small for heavyweights, the former standing five feet 12h inches, but weighing little over the nniddleweight limit, while the latter was only five feet seven inches. but a little heavier than O'Brfen. After Burns had won the title by whipping Hart in 1906, PhiIadelphia Jack demanded another chance. and they fought 20 rounds to a. draw at Los Angeles The City of Angels was also the scene of the third meeting between the men, and this time. May 8. 1907. the Canadian proved himself the master and won the decision in 20 rounds.
 1s84-Charles Prasser (Sailor Burke9, light heavyweight, born in Brooklyn.

POL ICE CAPTAIN THREATENS TO I AXE
 PUNCH AT MAGNATE

lfS
 Philadelphia, Oct. 7.--"The distribu- ton Of the worlds series tickets in this city is simply g. gouge, and President Baker, of. the PhiIIies, who under- stand was agfpolice commissioners or something Of the sort in New York at one time. probably thinks he can show Philadelphia some regular New York method declared Police Captain Ken ny yesterday.
 Kenny represented the department in 9 brief but exciting tilt with Baker oyer the number of seats to be allotted td city officials and their friends. Kenny did not get a single ticket de- spite the fact that he and all others contacted with the BIankenburg ad- ministration expected to pay full price for fhem
 AIf I thought Baker meant the pol lice wanted the tickets free or intended to turn them over to tspeculators.'f's continued Kenny, would have punched him on the nose. I told him we were not trying to- get tickets for ourselves or our friends, but for his friends, and he was leaving the real fans out1in the cold by refusing to al- lot us tickets
 This world s series, continued Ken ny, 'tis the first in which Baker ever figured, and it evidently has gone to his head, That will not stop the de- partment, however, from giving, all proper attention to the crowds at the games. A worlds championship se- ries is evidently too much for Baker to handle"
 In answer to the deluge of criticism launched against the Phillies' man agement, President Baker declared he would not enter into any controversy "The incident is closed he said .s.I have dealt directly with Mayor Blank enburg. not with any police official, and the mayor is satisfied with tho three seats for one game I allotted him.

rifice hits, IA doubles three triples
 and a like number of home runs giv- ing the difference is not so marked for Paskert fielded .970 to Speakers .975.
 Speakers ability cannot be express ed entirely by figures for in his seem ing divination of the course of fly balls lies 8 source of much depend ence by the Red Sox in their planssto cheek the powerful offense of the PhiI1ies. His ability to sense the drop ping place of a far hit ball. and to be there when it falls, is expected to re- dllce greatly the efficiency of the long driving bats of the Phi1lfes' siuggers. Little, if any, behind Speaker ils this respect is Hoopefs whose saving catches in the Worlds Series of 1912 are still fresh in the memory of the fans.
 Lewis. in left field, possesses this same keenness and speed but he will not outclass Whitted.. of the Moran brigade. by any means. In fact the seasons averages give the Philade1- pnia representative the better of Lewis in fielding by 35 points, while the batting advantage of the Red Sox player is but points. Lewis po1ed put more extra base hits than Whitted but the latter was faster on the bases by considerable margin. The latter is also steadier in the field, although lacking the ability to make tho spec tacular catches with which Lewis electrifies the fans, from time to time. eIaOf the two utility outelders Becker is the better hitter by more than 80 points while Henriksens has U very slight margin in fielding. The former has figured in almost twice as many games this season as the Red Ssox e5s- tra fielder and next to Cravath, holds the Ph5IIiess record as a home run hitter Tn lengthy drives and speed on the base. paths Becker is superior to Henrfcksen but the hitter is surer in the handling of dy balls an q throws more accurately to the infde1d.
 Due allowance must be made, how ever For the fadt that these outelds have played their home games in parks of widely different dimensi ons. Many of tue extra base hits, especially some of the home runs of Cravath, :, would have been likely outsif made on a. field of the size of the Boston Braves park, where a portion of the coming Worlds Series is to be played. With a trio of the ability Of Hooper, Speaker and Lewis on guard, this is factor that must not be overlooked. Conversely, some of the two and three base drives Of these same players nnfghtB have gone for home runs had they been made on a short field stlehs as thes Phil Ilies have played their home games on this year The complete. batting and heIdfng averages of the oIthe1ders are appended:k

 Tn New York sporting resorts the Phillies are gaining favor with those ies. From odds of to on the Red Sox the figures have dropped to II to 10 and before tomorrow may be even money. Bettors favor Alex ander to take the first game at odds ranging from Is to 10 to to 8.
 Charley Taft, son of the former President, has been placed in the backhe1d of the Yale eleven again. He dtsplaces Guernsey, who although a. good kicker is too slow on his feet for the rest of the baclpheld.
 If Enwright is badly injured the Harvard football team will suffer a. severe loss for the old Exeter star was expected to do wonderful things for thS Crimson against Yale this year. The chances are. however, that his condition is mot so serious as reported. Last year word was sent from the Harvard camp that Eddie Mahan was a. cripple and he was kept out of most of the prSlirn- mary games But he didn't look much Like a, cripple when he sprinted through the Yale players in the biE game.
 Michigan opened its football season yesterday with a 39 to 0 victory but the news reports say the work vvgu indifferent and ragged. What did they want to do to their unfortun- ate opponents anyway?

New York, Oct. 7@The outfields of the Red Sox and the PhiIlies are ex- pected to playxro1es of unusual impor- tahce in the coming Worlds Series between the Boston Americans and the Philade4pHia Nationals No other department of the rival teams can sf4bW the collection of stars that will be found among the eight players V h Q are a.vaiiabEea for places in the outer gardens Mention need only be made Df Iris Speaker and Harry Hooper for the Carrigan forces and Cactus Easbby Gravaths Pat Moranss home r4ira sluggers in order to esta b1ish the nigh standard of these two outf1elds.
 As to which is the stronger in all- round offensive and defensive play Ehere is much argument but such ad- rantage as may exist is generally con- Eaded to the Red Sox.

 Eliminating the two utility he2ders ana eohsidering the outf1eld as units, the unefaciaI averages for the season show that Boston has a 20-ppint ad- vantage in batting stren gth while the Philadelphia trio is five points stronger in fielding.
