FOOTBALL TODAY
Eastern Elevens Play First
Contests This Afternoon.
Colby Game Only One
of General Interest.

New York, Sept. 23.-The football
season of 1916 opens in the east to-
day with the usual lack of games be-
tween the stronger elevers. Interest
centers in the Harvard-Colby contest
at Cambridge which is expected to
give some indication of the quality of
the Crimson men. Last year the
Maine collegians managed to score
one touchdown on Harvard.
Second in importance is the Dart
mouth-N Hampshire game at Han

pennsylva mia state VS.. Susquehanna

Holycross VS.. Connecticut agricul-
tural at Worcester.

SPIT BALL BOMBS NOW
Baseball Pitchers Would Be in De-
mand If U. S. Went to War.

Washington, Sept. 23.-With Walter
Johnson, Grover Cleveland Alexander,
Babe Ruth and others of their ilk in
the first line trenches the United
States ought to whip any nation on
earth, if an invention by a United
States army officer works out and is
adopted here.
The latest death dealer has been
named the spit ball bomb. 1t is the
shape and size of a big league base
ball. 1t is propelled exactly as base
ball is propelled. Unlike hand gren-
AIDES being used in Europe, it will not
explode by contact.
On its surface is small hooklike
hump. This hump is supposed to
catch on an attachment worn on the
thrower's hand. AS the sft ball
bomb leaves the hand this hook is
pulled out, starting the deadly works
inside which explode several seconds
later An expert bomb thrower could
work havoc in an enemy trench, the
bomb containing high explosives.

JACK BARRY MAY
GET IN HIS SIXTH
WORLDS SERIES

If Jack Barry IS able to get back in
the game by October, and the Boston
club wins the American league pen
nant. the Worcester citizen will enter
his sixth worlds series. Barry play
ed in worlds series with the Attn
letics against the Cubs in 1910.
against the Giants in 1911 and 1913,
and against the Braves in 1914. Last
season it was due largely to the splen-
did fielding of Barry that the Phillies
only took one game from the Red Sox
in the annual baseball classic. Should
Barry get into the worlds series this
year he will establish two records
that is. he will have played in four
successive worlds series. those of 1913.
1914. 1915 and 1916, and he will be
the first player to share in six series.

LEADERS ALL WIN
Red SOX Maintain Their Margin
in the A. l.. Race.
Brooklyn Is Still Two and a
Half Games in Front.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-Boston today
still maintains its lead of two and one
half games over Chicago with Detroit
one-half a game behind Chicago in
the contest for the American league
championship. All three leaders won
their games Friday and there was no
change in the relative standing.
In the National league Brooklyn is
entrenched in first place, two and one
half games in front of Philadelphia
and five and a half games ahead of
Boston. Brooklyn and Philadelphia
each have thirteen games to play and
Boston has seventeen.
Braves Out.
A sudden reversal of form, sustained
while Matty'S Reds were visiting Bean
Town, has placed the Braves so far
down in the list that nothing short of
an epidemic of infantile paralysis or
broken legs in the Dodger and Phil
adelphia teams will put the Braves in
the lead.
The Stallings bunch now is five and
half games behind the pace-setting
Dodgers and three games behind Phil
adelphia-a margin which it is I'M
possible to overcome in the remaining
sixteen ga-leS the Braves can play
! Gradually the Red Sox are pound
| ing their way to the American league
pennant. They did not, gain on Chi
cago and Detroit in their game Frida y
for the two runners-up also won. But
they brought their schedule one game
nearer completion and if they win
seven more games of their remaining
ten, it will be impossible for Chicago
to overtake them.
Giants ClimbiI =.
The Braves, besides being forced to
watch Cincinnati knock the props
from under their pennant hopes, now
are seriously threatened by the Giants,
who won their seventeenth straight
game and are bidding strong for third
place.
The Giants now stand three games
and one point behind the Braves and
have sixteen games to play If they
can keep up their great work they
will pass the Braves, for they still have
series with the Braves. The Braves
also must meet Philadelphia, their last
series of the season.
The Dodgers hold two and a half
game lead over the Phillies since their
parting wallop at the Cardinals yes
terday and they began today against
the Cubs, a team which isn't expected
to make it overly interesting for the
leaders. Philadelphia is billed with
the Reds and in view of the way the
Reds attacked the Braves, it must be
conceded they are due to a least make
it interesting for the second place
team.

TINY SAM SOME FULL
Ichabods Develop a Baseball Drive in
Hard Friday Scrimmage.

The fiercest scrimmage of them all
took place on Washburn field Friday
afternoon. For nearly an hour fresh
men and varsity tangled in way
highly satisfactory TO the onlookers.
The one hours signal practice held
previous to the scrimmage had gotten
the plays well in hand and everything
went off with a snap.
The team is already developing a
drive" that the 1915 team lacked.
Stewart and Perry were alternated at
the fullback Slow in starting. once
he gets under way Stewart tears thru
the field like a Chamberlain. Perry
is too good a fullback possibility to
waste however, and the chances are
that when the season starts Stewart
will be back in the line. Wilson. the
1S5-pound tackle. is getting into shape
and the improvement in his offensive
ard defensive work Friday afternoon
was marked.
