 AT BOWL WORKS
 HARD FOR OPENING

! New Haven. Sept. 20.-Yale's big football squad was home on Yale field to-day, and there will be two practice the season next Saturday. But very the public this season. The squad evacuated Madison Saturday and did not leave any provisions. behind.
 Ya1e's lineup at the daily practice which will be rather closely adhered to at the beginning of the season, has brought several surprises, the large number of regulars interned on the second team among them. The guards of last season, Conroy and Walden the first string fullback, Harry .Le Gore, and halfbacks Billy Easton and Nal Scovil, are, on the reserve eleven. The transfer of Captain Wilson from quarterback to halfback is another
 This is likely to prove permanent, chiefly conditioned upon the ability of one of the new quarterbacks who are being tried, to run the eleven sat- isfactorilya They are Lowry, Bentley. Duryea and Thompson, the last named of the freshman squad last year. Bentley was giving much promise in the middle of the season when he was injured.
 There has never been serious con- sideration given to the idea of using Captain Wilson at end! although it has been discussed as a possibility in case otherH experiments in finding one or two fast and heavy ends failed. In promoting Church, a former tackle, and Carl Belts. regular tackle last fall, to end, the coaches have started a trial of two candidates of this type
 Ba1dridge and Gates, freshmen tackles last~year, are in the tackle positions. Gates was reserve tackle for Yates last year.

 Tommy Bowden of this city played third base for Stamford against the New York Americans yesterday and got double and single. Bromo Sil- ger, Walters and Kasparek were other local boys with Stamford.
 There will be loud cries of anguish when the worlds series starts in Phil adelphia, if it starts there. The park only seats 18,000 and there will be f a wild scramble by the 46,0O0 fans who want to see the games.
 The game scheduled at Lighthouse point yesterday between the Chicago White Sox and Colonials was called off because threatening weather in the morning scared the Colonial manage rnent.
 Alexander, the Phillies'e crack pitch CT, has not yet shown any sign of cracking under the strain. He chalk ed up his 29th victory yesterday by beating St. Louis. The Phil1ies lost the second game of the double bill though, and the Braves, by beating Cinconnati, gained half game on Moran s men, s%The Braves worked up to tie with Brooklyn and are now s3 points behind the Phillies.
 It looks strange to see LeGore Hon the second team at Yale. It is a good bet that he will do most of his sec ond team work in practice. When Lthe big games come along LeGore will will, be needed on the regular eleven to stand off the huskies from Harvard and/Princeton.
