Green Needs @ Punter.

Hanover, N. H., Oct. 10.-Because Saturdays game with Lebanon Val ley college was played under a hot sun and with the thermometer well up i'll the seventies the Dartmouth squad was given a very light workout yester- day. Many of the Green linesmen lost from four to six pounds and Trainer Hillman is afraid of getting the men down too fine so early in the season.
 Part of the afternoon was devoted to bunting practice with Gerrish Theilsch9 9r, Burns and Scully doing the work in this department. Dartmouth has no exceptionally Well-qualified punters this year, and Gerrish, who has been doing the kicking, thus far, has not averaged over forty yards in any of the games. Burns is sending the ball further than any of the other punters, but he is extremely slow in getting his kicks under way. In the signal drill yesterday Camel was at quarterback with the varsity, and 1t appears now that he has clinched the position by his competent all-around play Saturday.

Columbia Eleven Rests.

New York, Oct. 10.-Columbia's S football eleven was rested yesterday and only the substitutes who didn't participate in the Hamilton game Sat urday reported in toGs. Head Coach Metcalf took the varsity regulars in doors for the first blackboard drill III a week. Columbia coaches have no apol- ogies to make for the team, which met defeat from I1a amiiton Saturday, ana one of the staff yesterday made the statement that the Light Blue and White was fairly outplayed.
 The first of the interclass games was played at South field yesterday, the Freshmen defeating the Sophor ores, 9 to 0.
 A series of hard scrimmages will be the program this week to put the var sity in preparation for the vermont game Saturday.

Leligh Works for Yale.

South Bethlehem, Pa., Oct 1O.- Lehigh started work yesterday for the Yale game next Saturday. The task to whip a reliable team into shape will be herculean, as nearly three fourths of the places will have to be filled with new men who are inexperi- enced, save for their prep school play ing. Then, too the work for this week that the coaches had planned could not be carried out because the hard game with Albright on Saturday left it's mark on many of the team. Chen oWeth, the little quarterback, who played such a dashing game at Yale last year, was not out. He will prob- ably be in shape to play Saturday.
 Quist, on whom had been banked for one of the end positions, made va cant by the loss of Sawtelle and Greene, is not yet eligible, nor can it be stated that he will be before Sat urday. Another position that trou- bles the coaches is center. None of the candidates so far show the form dis played by Scruggs last year.
 The work yesterday was given over to signal work, and there will be no scrimmages unti, the men recover their proper physical condition.

Conklin Fordham Leader.

New York, Oct. 10.-Immediately before Fordham's football practice yesterday all the men who remain on the team from year ago were called together to select a captain to take the nlace of Jim Butler. They were unan- imous in their choice of Jack Conklin as the new captain Conklin, who halls from Ansonia, Conn.,, has played on the team for the past three years, snending his first year at guard, while for the past two seasons he has held down the Maroon left flank.
 The squad was kept busy yesterday correcting the faults disclosed against Western Maryland. New signals were aaon+ed. with both Calland and McNa- mara taking 8 hand at choosing the nlavs. All the men were in good shape with the exc option of Cprcoran and F,rwig. who were slightly bruised on Saturday.

If any further defense of the innate integrity or transparent honesty of baseball were needed, the simplest answer we know would come from submitting certain world series figures and statistics, dating from 1905, when the en-game agreement was first put into effect.
 Since that date eleven world series have been played. If there had been any hippodraming or dealing from the bottom, these eleven series could have used up exactly seventy-seven games. But the figures show that only sixty one contests have been needed, dis playing a loss of sixteen games, that might have returned a revenue of at least $8OO,O0O.
 Over the Quick Route.
 World series cotests have nearly all been billed over the Quick Route. In only two instances have the seven games been needed-frst by the Tigers and Pirates in 1909, and later by the Red Sox and Giants in 1912. On six of the eleven occasions only five games have been used up; six games have been needed but twice, while in 1914 the Braves needed but four. So in seven of the eleven years only five games or less have been re- quired to determine the winning ar ray. And for the eleven years the average has been only five and one- half games between two clubs SUD- posed to be pretty well matched.
 These figures are sufficient to show that each ball club is out to win as soon as possible, wasting no false motions and taking no chance of the games vast ucertainty

DARCY HAS FINE
 LIST OF VICTIMS
Australian Has Beaten All in Glass
 Except Gibbons

Les Darcy appears to be one of those fighters you often hear about but seldom see. He is not only the first middleweight since KetchelES time to go through the whole list of his rivals without meeting with a re- verse, but he seems to have all ths requisites of regular ring hero.
 Darcy's advent has made it un- necessary to go back a score of years in order to point to a regular fighter Darcy fills the bill as we'll as any of the old timers. He is the first star ringman in years who has not lost his nerve after attaining certain amount of success. As a general thing when a boxer reaches the top he does not care to take any more chances, no matter how daring he may have been in the early stages of his career Darcy is not that kind of man. Ap- parently his one desire is to tackle the logical opponent in every case, which means the toughest. He wants to continue fighting instead of turn ing snowman. He is not a buffer not sidestepper, but a fighter who always is willing to fight, without beating about the bush.
 Darcy now has beaten every mid dleweight of note except Mike Gib- bons and his packers are doing the,r best to inveigle the St. Paul crack into match. There is no particular req son why he should not rest on his laurels and leave Gibbons alone, for the latter holds no title. But Darcy will not be satisfied until he has dis posed of every possible rival who might dispute his claim to the mid dleweight championship.
 Stanley Ketchell was the last of the reckless matchmakers While Jess Willard and Johnny Kilbane are su- preme in their respective classes and therefore cannot be said to be lodging any one there are very few prominent boxers in the ring today who are going out of their way in search of the toughest opponents to be found
 ketchelPs disposition was such that he refused to be restrained by the advice of his managers to go slow and pick the. easy ones He always want ed to be doing something worth while He was absolutely without fear both when fighting and when 1t came to making match. The fact that he was risking his prestige and earning power never seemed to have any ef- feet on him whatever. He was q great gambler and his gameness was far superior to that of the fighter whoI can take unlimited punishment with out winching.
 Darcy seems to have much of ketchels willingness to fight as well as his ability. It is unfortunate that he should have to waste his talents over in Australia where there is no one within miles of his class He will be great card if he ever comes to this country. A Darcy-DilIon match looks like the biggest thing in the pug1listic line that has eNer taken place barring a few of the heavyweight championship matches

Eli Stars Take 1t Easy.

New Haven, Oct. 10.-Yale's open ing practice in preparation for the Lehigh game of next Saturday was extremely light, the players who took part in the Virginia match going through signal drill only in the scrimmage between the makeshift Varsity eleven and the scrubs. There was no scoring. although Halfback Carey of the so-called Varsity at tempted and missed two rather diffi- cult field goals. Jack Gates, the former Annapolis coach and Yale end, joined the visiting coaches. Waite, halfback, turned his ankle, but Train CT Mack believes that he will resume 6 practice in two or three days. The lineup:
 Left end, Nichols; left tackle, Taft; left guard, Graham; center, Ross; right guard, zenner: right tackle, CoXe; right end, K. Smith; quarter hack, Laroche; left halfback, Waite i; right halfback. Carey; fullback, Bra den.

The Tiger play against North Caro- lima was not without flaws, and Rush will undoubtedly strive to perfect his teamwork within the next week as much as possible. He will probably have his hand forced a little in the development of his team, because of the unexpected strength of Tufts.
 The dropping of Rutgers and Syr- acuse from this years schedule was partly caused by the fact that the Iii ger coach believe such heavy teams were too strong for so early in the seasons. Now that the conquerors of the Harvard eleven are coming to Tigertown, he will have to turn back to some of last years tactics

Formal announcement of the en- gagement of Miss Norma Emily Mack. daughter of Norman E. Mack of Buff falo, N. Y, once chairman of the dem mocratic national committee, and Mrs. Mack, to Philip Frederick Metz of Omaha was made at a dinner at MT. Metz home in Omaha. The we'd ding will ike place In January in Buff falo. Miss Mack recently was the sub ject of much publicity when she as cended in an aeroplane with Lieuten- ant Ira A. Rader, U. s. A. and crossed Niaga Falls. She was the first wo- man to take this trip. Miss Mack and her sister, Miss Harriet Mack are guests at MT. Metz house.

Harvard Players Hurt.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 9.-The Harvard football regulars did nothing yesterday afternoon after their Tufts defeat, except to put in an hours sig nal drill. Bond, one of the halfbacks, dislocated his shoulder Saturday and will be be out for some time, and Mosely Taylor besides smashing his wrist, also had a bad leg which will keep him out for more than a week. There was a red hot scrimmage, how ever, between the second and third varsity teams. Westmore Wilcox played in the backield with Hitch cock and Burnham and made two pretty thirty-yard end runs.

Tigers to Tackle Tufts.

Princeton, N J., Oct. 1o-The plans Of Head Coach Speedy Rush to have his Tiger football eleven meet small CT teams at the beginning of the sea- son, go that his charges might come to the climax of their development gradually, have been somewhat upset by Tufts, which is scheduled to play Princeton next Saturday, with a rec ord of victory over Harvard last Saturday
 The coming week promises to be a stiff one for the Princeton players, for it will be necessary to work up a stronger offense and improve their defense within the next four days.

A FINE RECORD
A. P. Flashes Story Over 1S,OOO Mile Circuit Into 300 Offices Simultan- eous1y.

eously.
 An unprecedented feat in the tele- graphic transmission of news was &C., complished by the traffic departnen of the Associated Press yesterday when one operator sitting in the stand at Braves Field in Boston was enabled to flash over eighteen thou sand miles of leased wire the story of how the Bostons beat the Brook lyns in the second game of the worlds baseball series.
 Taking dictation from the Associat- ed Press representatives who were covering the game, this operator, J. A. Bates, through the telegraphic connections arranged for the service, was able to send the story to 300 As sociated Press offices and newspapers in the United States, tick for tick into each office simultaneously-as far west as San Francisco. as far north as Duluth and as far south as New Orleans.
 The operator sent the story over this 18,000-mile circuit continuously for two and a half hours, and at the instant McNal1y crossed the home plate with the winning run in the fourteenth inning, the flash Boston wins" had gone the length and breath of the country.

ROGERS EFT AL WIN
Local BOWlers Invade 'Rose of New England'' City and Show Natives Some First Class Bowling.

Some First Class Bowling.
 A trio of bowlers from the alleys on New Britain's glass coast, journeyed to Norwich last evening and engaged in five game series with representatives of the Rose of New England'' city. The locals were in fine fettle, and as a result the Norwich bowlers were forced to take a sound beating, win ming but one game out of the five during the evening. Rogers, who re- gently purchased a considerable sec- tion of the glass coast,' is not letting the troubles of a landlord affect his bowling eagle eye. Three times dur ing the games, the boss of the Aetna alleys piled up scores over the cen tury mark, his best contribution being the getaway, which tOtaled 124. With other marks of no and 119 his figures for the entire match amounted to 546. Anderson With 504 tied with McAllis- ter of Norwich for second hOnOrS, while Larson of the locals managed to garner third honors with a total of 4S5.

Musical Names.
(Waterbury Republican,


 "Don't make fun of Meshirjetsche, ~ urges the San Francisco Bulletin. For some tens of thousands of human beings it's queer letters flow to- gether like harmonious music, spelling the most beautiful of words-home and friends
 All right. And we won't make fun, either of Zloczow, Ckartorysk, Bug, Snof, Rustchuk, Mush and Ginj. Doubtless all of them are sweeter than honey on the lips of the natives.
 And anyhow we haven't great deal to brag of ourselves, in the matter of -euphony When a nation possesses thousands of such geogra- Ihical appellations as Oskosh, Goge- bic, Schenectady, Patchogue, Mauch Chunk, Auxvasse, Yazoo, Umbazook- sis, Chemquassab bamticook, Wahkia- Fum and Enumclaw, how can 1t have the nerve to ridicule old world names
