ROBINS WON H0N0RS
 BY HEAVY HITTING
Red Sox Earn Title Of RunleSS and
 HitleSS Wonders

Brooklyn, Oct. 19.-It was the mighty battery of the Robins and their fine defense which brought them through the season with more hits to their credit and fewer errors charged against them than any other club in the National league that made Brook lyn the pennant winner in the Tener circuit according to figures compiled from official box scores throughout the season. Though making fewer runs than the Giants Brooklyn made more hits, and evidently made them count more than any other club, as the re- suit of the pennant race indicates.
 In the American league the Red Sox earned the title of hitless and runless wonders, for they captured the flag in spite of the fact that they made less hits than all their rivals except Phila- oelphia, and collected fewer runs than all of their opponents but Philadelphia and Washington.
 The season which recently came to conclusion with the trouncing of Brooklyn by the Red Sox in the worlds series, had more unusual and Interesting features than any season in recent years. Not only were the
 
 and more evenly sustained than for many years, but in the American league every team with the exception of St. Louis and Philadelphia had the honor of leading all their rivals at week-ends. Only three clubs ih the National league were ever out in front, these being Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston, and it was in the order named that they finished the season.
 Though finishing fourth, the Giants, as shown by official box scores for the scored more runs than any other club in the circuit. Brooklyn, the pennant winner, ranked behind the Giants, with Philadelphia third. There were more Brooklyn players left on bases than any other team in the National league, but that was because the Robins got on the paths more fre- quently than any of their rivals.
 The Brooklyn defense, led by a fine staff, held off their opponents in great fashion, and there were fewer runs recorded agairst the Robins than against any other rival organization.
 In the American league Bill Carri- gan's champions had less errors charged against them than any other combination, while the Philadelphia aggregation had the most. St. Louis had the least number left on bases, while Detroit holds the record for stranded players. Boston also held it's opponents in check better than the of the teams, for the total number of runs scored against the Red Sox was less than that against any one of the other seven clubs, while that If the Athletics was the greatest
 The complete record of the sixteen clubs of the major leagues, showing runs, hits, errors, left on bases and runs by opponents, is as follows

Tigers on the Offensive.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 19.-Head q Coach Rush gave his Varsity a long drill on offensive play yesterday aft ernoon in an effort to improve the scoring power of the Tigers. For nearly an hour the flrst-string men threw their attacks at the scrubs, who, strengthened by the addition of number Of Varsity substitutes, put it very difficult for the Tigers to reg fster any scores. Rush generally placed the ball on the 20 or 30-yard line, and then told the Varsity TO carry it over in the least possible number of downs
 The attack of the Tigers was on the whole rather discouraging. At times brilliant flashes were visible, but Rush was evidently disappointed That the defensive play of the Tigers Is well up to standard was displayed in the game against Tufts and it is probable that during the next few NNNJ time expended in drilling the Varsity on offensive play.
 Dave Tibbott was a member of tho backfeld yesterday and he put over three pretty drop kicks from scrim- mage when his teammates were not able to carry the ball over the scrubs goal line.
 Moore and Haas, who have both been kept out of practice by injuries HG5o ab@e to peport yesterday. Keene Fitzpatrick, the Tiger trainer, was not willing that they should go into the scrimmage hSzzaer, and they con- fined their activities to brief signal bluff. Moore will probably not be able to take part in the Lafayette game this week, but he should have rounded into shape by the time of the Dartmouth contest.
 A change in the wing positions on the Varsity would not cause much surprise here as Frank Is playing the kind of game that will hardly keep him off the first team. He weighs about 180 pounds, and with it he is fast.

Vim in Browns Practice.

Providence, R. l., Oct. 1e.-Real football weather and a big squad of players all in good condition added zest to the scrinmage both Tuesday and yesterday afternoon at Andrews Field, and feeling of optimism exists just now in football circles here at Brown. For an hour thfs afternoon in the presence of a big crowd of stu dents including many of the Brown boys who have just returned from the Texas border two teams of almost equal strength battled with all the animation of a real game.
 For a while a third team, using Will Hams formation, lined up against the Varsity. Three touchdowns for the Varsity was the scoring result of the afternoon. Pollard figuring in each of them on long runs. Murphy and Purdy alternated at quarter for the Varsity and three sets of backs were used during the afternoon.

fantile paralysis and then passed 8 resolution permitting the players nec- essary to play the game to go to Princeton, if Princeton still insisted on playing the game on It's own grounds, but prohibiting the other students at the college from attend ing the game.
 It was the desire of the faculty that the game be played in Easton, and for that reason Dean Albert K. Heckle was sent with Coach Crowell to interview the Princeton authori- ties with 8 view to transferring the game to March Field. The result of the mission was unsuccessful.
 Under the direction of Harold G.. Brown, Lafayette's line coach, the Varsity and scrub battled to a tie score on March Field yesterday after noon each side scoring a single touch down. Scott and Lake, the Lafay- cite stars now ineligible to play with the Varsity, were put in the scrub backfeld, and, greatly strengthened the team. The Varsity line was by the addition of Bell the middleweight wrestling champion at Lafayette.

Penn. Tries States Plays.

Philadelphia, Penn, Oct. 19>-Bob Folwell's Penn Varsity battered Har- old Gaston's scrubs in a hard scrim- mage held on Franklin Field yes- terday afternoon, the last hard, work out before the game with Penn. State on Saturday. Gaston used the Penn. State plays and against the defense employed by Harlow's eleven the Red and Blue made consistent gains.
 One of Foster Stanford's plays did not work out very we'll. That was the multiple kick, which, if worked successfully, gets more distance than a punt or place kick, but the risk is too great and in the drill this was brought out. Gaston has a strong scrub team, and it afforded stubborn resistance to the 'Varsitys attack. but before the forty minute scrlmmage was over the regulars went over the line for points.
 Using Penn. States offensive plays, the scrubs were unable to make any gains, and most of the plays were, broken up before they could get start ed. The Varsity looked much bet ter in yesterdays scrimmage, the line holding like a stone wall and the secondary defense mailing every man that managed to escape the first line.

BIagden Helps Harvard.

8 Cambridge Mass, Oct. 19.-Craw- ford Blagden, 'o2, since he played | tackle on David Campbells great Har- j yard team fifteen years ago, has helped coach the Harvard rush line every year, made his first appearance of the season on Soldiers Field yes terday afternoon. Percy Haughton also jumped into the thick of things. following up yesterdays rapidfire coaching in brisk fashion and work ing his team mighty hard, although for not so long a scrimmage as it went through yesterday.
 The freshman team was reserved until today, yesterdays drill again be- ing against the scrubs. Three touch downs were scored and the Varsity
 again showed many signs of improve ment in the very little defensive work i 7dhey had to do. Haughton kept back of the Varsity all through the play, and the team got together in good Ishape. Blagden did a lot of coach i fdng, and the line plays went better fhan Tor some time. Westmore Will cox, Harvard's quarter miller, mada several really brilliant end runs for good gains, but the team held to SI1 e1ASIAL AOOppCdll dllu there was no forward passing. The first string men
 lined up as they did yesterday and the day before. Wheeler at left |tackle and Day at right guard were really the only line substitutes Wheeler, in Taylors place, is putting up very aggressive game and is com ing along very fast Day has had two years work with the scrubs and knows lot of football, besides hand Hing his great weight in very satisfac- tory fashion
 Gamer was again on the right wing but it will not be long before he will nave to contend against Sweetster who should be back after the Massa achu- setts State game. Clark, with Sweet ster, was on the field yesterday the former in playing clothes, although he did not take part in the play Thacher who was in the regular back held when hurt ten days ago. is al- most ready for work, but the rest of the cripplesi have not as vet put on their football togs.
 In the scrimmage all of the sub stitutes were used. Billy Murray got a lot of speed into the play after sub- sututing for Robinson. Burnham HorWeen and Horne each scored a touchdown at the end of short but I steady series of line gains down near the scrub teams goal

CAPTAIN BLACK OUT
 OF VIRGINIA GAME
Injuries Received in Lehigh Game
 Prevent Eli Leaders Playing

New Haven, Oct. 19.-Captain Black of the Yale eleven will be un- able to play against Virginia Poly technic Institute on Friday, and may ur5ay against Washington and Jeffer- sen. An injury received to his leg in the Lehigh game last Saturday has q developed an abscess and he will be bcnched for several days. Sheldon has been given his position at left guard and Charley Taft yesterday suc- cceded Sheldon at left tackle, where he will be retained probably during the reason. Sheldon plays about equally well at guard and tackle and upon Blacks return to the eleven is aaikely to be assigned to right guard.
 Callahan, leading candidate for cen- Ter rush, who returned to practice Monday after a months absence, eagain injured his ankle yesterday Eelight1y, but he expects to be able to start in Fridays game.
 Head Coach Tad Jones notified the members of the backfeld yesterday Ethat fumbling would be followed by their prompt dismissal to the scrub |squad. He made good his threat to |fhe case of Bingham and Braden, but was unable to call 1t out when Quar- terback Van Nostrand later muffed IHhe ball. Van Nostrand was the only rsquarterback available, and Jones re- hented in order that the Varsity might Fnot be crippled.
 The policy was adopted of putting Mhe ball in play on the 'Varsity's five syard line and compelling that team Hto march the full ninety-fve yards Idown the field. Three times the Varsity covered the entire distance, Harry Le Gore carrying the ball across for two touchdowns and Joe Neville for one. During the last f1f- teen minutes of scrimmaging the Varsity team assumed the ball on the scrubs f1fteen-yard line and was com pelled to take it across in four downs. Neville scored two touch- downs in this manner

 Dear Sirs, etc.: You have seen, on an average for the last ten years, baseball interest fade completely out in twelve of your sixteen major league camps after August 1.
 You have seen the hope that springs eternal in the baseball breast in April withered and broken thing in three fourths of your cities after July, with only three or four contenders left.
 You have also seen an enlarging smear and 8 growing scramble each fall for the world series 60 and 40, with the prices finally boosted to S5 grandstand seat and the losing end sufficiently ample to take the sting away from defeat and thereby soften competition
 Evidently a change is needed that will increase general interest through out the season and that also will help to supplant the financial frenzy of october with few ingredients of sportsmanship.
 In this connection the following remedy is suggested
 l. First to divide each major league season into two parts--the first extending from April 1 5 through July Fourth, and the second from July 5 tc September 20.
 The public at large likes a sprint better than a marathon, anyway. Having split the season, then let the National and American leagues play out seven or nine game semi-f1nal, the winners to represent their leagues in the world series final; where, for both the semi-final and the final play only the usual prices shall be charged for admittance.
 You will find, through this system a continued interest through May and June; and a new interest built up in the second dash after July Fourth, where weaker clubs will have had tho chance to add on increased strength and not be wrecked by poor start. You will also have big revival in four towns through the last two weeks in September when the playoff comes, where. as a rule, interest is about as lively as a dead muskrat.
 You may object that under this ar rangement the other twelve cities will be out of it after September 20.
 They will. But as affairs run now the other twelve towns, cn an aver age, are out of it on August 20, with the attendance anywhere bctWecn 800 and 800 paid.
 By adopting this system general in terest could be maintained in all six teen camps the greater part of the year.
 The September finish would be a spectacular affair for both league with a new punch added to the game
 And the early October world ser.es, at normal prices, would be a worthy climax where the rush for gold wa9n't the entire scenario.
 At the worst this arrangement would be a great improvement over the present order, or disorder.
 At the best it would add S5 per cent. to the present status. Resp,

GOING TO ORIENT
Church and ThrOckmOrtOn First East crners to Enter Distant Tennis Series in Orient

New York Oct. 19.-When the tennis championship of the Orient is rlayed at the Manila Tennis club in January a team. of two players from the Atlatic seaboard will be entered against the formida ble rivals from the Far East and perhaps against some from Califo fornia. George M. Church of Tenaf1y, N: J.. one of the most suc- ccssful players during the past season, and Harold A. Thdockm orton of Eliza beth, holder of the national junior championship as well as the New Jersey state title, are the two who will try conclusions in the tour nam lent in the Philippines. The men will leave the east about November 23 and will sail from Vancouver on the Empress of Russia November 30. They will go to the Philippines by way of Japan, but will do no playing in the land of Nippon on the way out. On the return trip, however, they will probably compete in the first tourna ment for the championship of Japan and may also play in the tournament at Honolulu.
 No one from the Atlantic seaboard has ever made the long trip to the Philippines for the sake of playing in the Far East championship. The rep resentatives in the past have been drawn from California. In 1913 Will liam M. Johnston, the national singles champion or year ago, was the winner of the championship of the Orient, and last year two of the Cali fornians campeted, Clarence J. Griffin and Ward Dawson. Both fell before the superior play of Ichiya Kumagae. Kumagae is therefore the present title holder and it is practically certain that he will defend his title against the pilgrims from the East.
