First Year Men Score Three

ulars Out.

Five of Columbia's regulars, who
started in the game against Hamilton
last Saturday, were still so sore and
bruised yesterday, even after their two
days rest, that they were unable to
don their uniforms and stood on the
side lines, while the freshman eleven
waded through an improvised varsity
lineup for three touchdowns.
The regulars who are still feeling
the effects of Saturdays tussle are
Henry Monroe, two strained tendons in
his ankle; John Kennedy, end, strained
ankle; Fred Dunn, end, twisted knee;
Joe Hegeman, halfback, twisted knee,
and Jack Donaldson, guard, bruised.
All five will probably get into the
scrimmage to-day, and it is certain that
all will play on Saturday
Reports concerning Howard Miller,
the star quarterback of the 1915 eleven,
were less reassuring yesterday than IN
week. More water has formed on his
injured knee, and he spent most Of the
day in bed. There are grave doubts as
to whether he will play against Yer

II does seem a new worlds series isS
born every game in this most thrilling
debate between the idols of Boston and
Brooklyn. Coombs did quite as much
as any one could ask in keeping with
out blemish or spot the most healthy
record any pitcher has ever made In
worlds series play.
Jack is the only twirler who ever
won five classic struggles without
defeat to show against them. Pfetfer

der, and foiled them at a time when
they had just threatened 10 break out
in one of their rashest deeds of depre-
dation. But Coombs and his young
understudy both must forswear the
throne of the day in favor of more
generally abused private of the ranks.
Yesterday was Olson's day:
brighter day even than that memorable
one for Hi Myers back in Boston.

heavy-faced type had his bludgeoning
been less deadly.
One unfamiliar with the identity Of
the respective teams, from the long
distance descriptions of the contests in
Boston, could be pardoned for mistak-
ing one for the other. It was Bos-

day, though it never could be accused
of cracking. 1t was Brooklyn's that
stood impregnable, assault after as.

PRINCETON SUBS DO
BATTLE WITH VARSITY

Princeton, n. j., Oct. 10.-A number
of shifts and unusual formations were
employed by team composed of sub
stitutes in scrimmage with the Prince
ton varsity this afternoon. The scrim-
mage came only for little while at
the end of strenuous days work.
First the varsity played against the
second team, several of whom arc hard
to distinguish from the varsity men
themselves. Ames and Tibbott were on
the second eleven, and when this team
was replaced by the third team, lib
bolt was shifted to the varsity.
SO far this year Princeton has been
without a drop kicker, and Speedy Rush
has several men who are trying TO
qualify as point winners with their
toes. Funk is good placement kicker,
and this afternoon Eberstadt was
showing a little form as drop kicker.
OF course. when Tibbott gets back in
the lineup, he can take care of this
department.

and IL Brooklyn had only played sound
hall in the field she might have easily
had two if not three games under her
belt, as the sprightly saying is.
Boston's pitching, on the three-game
average. has been merely fair, certain
" nothing to rise up and roar about.
And without fine pitching a great out
field and infield defence alone is hard
" enough to drive back a rougher at
tack. :. i,
There are any number who believed
that Carl Mays, with his freak delivery,
would stop Brooklyn cold. Brooklyn
may have been cold, but she wasn't
stopped. She came near dismantllng
Mays in the first inning when Myers
was hit and Daubert outran bunt
down the line. When Stengel sacrificed
and Wheat was passed, filling the
bases, with none out, the contest looked
to be already in. But Boston's defence
saved the day again when Hobby
scooped UP a mean bounder and nipped
Myers at the plate. The bases were
still full when Nike Mowrey came up,
but Sir Michael stood in a trance as
the third strike sailed over, and the
impending rally returned TO seed and
weeds.
Olson Bags the Game.
The entry who baggcd the game for
Brooklyn was Ivan Olson, rated one Of
the clubs weak cogs. Olson scored a
run in the third when he outlegged a
bunt TO Gardner and took second on
Larry's bad throw, Coombs driving his
mate home with a single TO right.

MAYS in Trouble at Outset of Game
But Pulls Through Without Damag

Carl Mays, a burly, thickset young
fellow, who nurses the last remaining
major league underhand delivery and
who heightens the effect BY almost get
ting down on all fours when he delivers
the ball in his FREAK style, was both
cred greatly throughout by lack Of aim.
He got himself in bad in Brooklyn's
half of the first.
First off he winged Hi Myers with
one of his crazy chucks. Daubert made
his first series hit on well placed bunt
that the Boston pitcher overran. Mays
handled Stenge's sacrifice bunt. Then
he purposely passed Wheat. He pulled
himself together after being in the hole
to Mike Mowrey and whitfield his man
for the last out.
Both sides went out in order in the
second. Harry Hooper singled with
two out in the third, but Miller out
guessed the hit-and-run play. He
called for a pitch-ou. and nailed
Hooper stealing. Miller's throw was
high, but Cutshsw, who was forced to
jump for it, made the most Of Diff
cult chance and just did get his man.
In Brooklyn's half of this same inn
ing the ice was broken. Daubert lined
clean single to right, after fouling off
four. One was out at the time. Myers,
first up, had rolled weakly to Scott.
Stengel followed Daubert's one-sacker
with a bingle to left. Mays pitched to
Wheat this time, and held lack to a
tall loft in the yard of Lewis. The fans
were bit moody after Wheat's fail
ure; they had little reliance in George
Cutshaw.
This young gentleman. however, has
t..% l..
had several cardinal sins of earlier
vintage to wash away with few
healthy soaks. George took fast one
over the middle. Then he hoped on
another of the same brand md shot it
past Hoblitzell like a fash. Daubert
had no difficulty in scoring the first
run of the game on this fine hit.
Stengel raced from first TO third. Cut
shaw got an extra base, too, when
Hooper's throw-in carried away wide
and behind the plate. Mowrey connect

The second factor, next TO her de-
fence. that has built up the bulk Of
Red Sox fame came after the sixth. This
was an amazing ability to rally under
the gray shadow Of defeat and keep on
fighting.
With the score to against her and
Coombs at his best, Boston showed no
desire to curl up and desist, as the say
ing isn't. 1t was just here that the
astounded Red Sox, who had no thought
of defeat, came lurching and lunging
back into the thick of the jubilee.
With one out in the sixth, Henrik
sen, batting for Mays, drew a pass.
This brought Harry Hooper up, a ball
player who isn't any more dangerous in
world series than gun cotton is
around an open stove. The only thing
that Harry Hooper can't do with a
baseball in world series pinch is to
make it fry an egg. He followed Hen

counted himself.

prove that the National Commission
