Henning Lost to Penn.

Philadelphia, Penn, Sept 26.- Charlie Henning, one of the greatest guards ever to leave the imprints of his cleated shoes on the turf of Frank lin Field, passed out of Pennsylvania football, probably for the entire sea- son, when he was operated on in the University hospital for appendicitis yesterday. fleming is the fifth mem
 Der of the Red and Blue varsity out of the practices at present.
 Yesterday was the official day for candidates to report, and Franklin Field swarmed with players garbed in moleskins. At least one hundred as- pirants for varsity and freshmen terths dotted the green. Coach, Bob Folwell did not drive his men hard, but nevertheless he kept them on the jump.
 First came the usual drill at for ward passing, when a player on each side of the field tore hastily down the sidelines under the aerial passes of He1nie Miller John Titzel, Habby Light and Graves Williams. Punting charging, falling on the ball. and run> ming races came in for their share of the time, and after the players had been on the field about an hour and men were divided into teams and were hustled through their various plays and formations. Light had charge of the varsity and Sid Thayer was quar- terback of the second eleven.

Over the Old Trail

A number of interested non-com- batants are anxious to know just how It Is the Red Sox are able to display such strength at the more inn portant spots of the schedule where the pennant is at stake.
 In the main it is a matter of work ing over an old trail. They have taken the high hurdles before, and so facing a test series and winning it IS no new assignment.
 Carrigan, Cady, Gardner, Lewis and Hooper were Red Sox stars in the drive of 1912.
 Jack Barry has been through five remnant campaigns before The Red Sox pitching staff was tested last summer, so no futtering duck fits beset their breasts as they take the field in a showdown engagement. To them now it is merely a ball game. They have travelled the highway too often before to be bothered in the pinch, for past victories in such emergencies have given them the needed confidence, whereas Chicago and Detroit were remembering all the while what happened last year when the Carrigan entourage blew into town with a mace in one hand and a marlin spike in the other

Crimson Players Fit.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 26.-All of the Harvard football players who took part in the Colby game were out on the field yesterday. There was no scrimmage, but long session of position coaching followed an hour at the locker building blackboard, where the plays for the week were outlined and the faults of Saturdays contest discussed.
 In the signal drill Coach Leary made two shifts in the first team. Phinney, a 170-pound end from last years freshmen, who showed a dis position to get into every play lead ing up to Harvard's touchdown against Colby was put at left end in place of Linens. Lowell at left tackle was replaced by Gamer, one of last years substitutes, who has come back to weight after his hard lawn tennis season. Sam Fe1ton and Tack Hard wick were out coaching the kickers and the backfield men.
 The tackling was so poor Saturday that the players had a longer session than usual at the dummies. Batchel- der and Wilcox were on the sidelines, although not dressed to play. but Gardner probably will be out a week. More than seventy-fve candidates for the freshman team reported yes- terday and the material appears un- usually good.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 26.-Boston made it three out of four yesterday by winning from Cleveland 2 to 0, Cleveland made as many hits as Bos- ton, but could do nothing with Ruth with men on bases.
 Scratch hits by Janvrin and Short en, HobIitzeps sacrifice and Lewis sacrifice fly gave Boston one in the fourth while Thomas double and Ruth's single produced another in the fifth. A one-hand pickup by Gard her that started double play was the fielding feature. The score:

PREPARING FOR SERIES
Four Tickets to be Allowed Each Ap- pGcant-First Como First Served is Policy of Management

Boston, Mass, Sept. 26-Reserva- tions in the worlds series games to be played in Boston, if the Boston Americans retain their league cham pionship will be allotted on a basis of priority of mail applications, it was announced by the club manage ment yesterday. Thousands of ap- plications have already come in and these will be filled in the order of their receipt, acknowledgement of which will be forwarded by mail. It is expected to start the machinery of distribution by Wednesday accord ing to Business Manager T. w. Lan- min. Not more than four tickets will be allowed to one applicant.
 The Red Sox preparation for the title series has not been confined to the business end, Heinie Wagner and Jack Barry, who, with Manager Car rigan, have formed the teams "board of strategy" having been assigned to observe the Brooklyn Nationals in coming games with a view to learning the style of play of the possible rival contenders. Wagner left the club at Cleveland Sunday to take up this work, and Barry is understood to be ter, where he has been under treat ment for a broken hand. Splints have been removed and the hand is healing well, but the question wheth- CT the Red Sox captain can take his place at second base in the world series is still an open one.

Charles in Tiger Lineup.

Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., Sept. 26. Mike Charles, a former interscho- lastic track and football star of New York, was in the first lineup of the Tiger eleven in the scrimmage prac- tice yesterday afternoon and opened the eyes of coaches and players alike by his brilliant defensive work. Charles was at left guard in the place of Bob Nourse and shattered nearly every play that was directed at his side of the line and managed to get 3 good number on the other side of the center besides.
 Most of the work of the coaches yesterday was given over to perfecting B series of plays that will be used in the Holy Cross games on Saturday. Driggs, Moore, and Brown worked in she varsity backfield yesterday after noon with Ames at quarter. It Is this combination that will probably fake the field against Holy Cross. Dave Tibbott, a halfback, and Halsey, a tackle, were out in uniforms yes

New Haven, Sept. 26.-To Nichols,
 Yesterday went the honor of scoring The first touchdown of the season 4ga1nst the varsity. Nichols nipped N ball fumbled by the regulars in at

 he length of the field for his score. Yale opened the fourth week of zoractice with a rush, Head Coach Tad Zones driving the regulars through
 hfrty minutes of galloping play, (which went more smoothly and eff fectively than any varsity attack this Fall. The coaches were encouraged East night, feeling that last weeks Slump may have been due to over- work.
 Several lines-up changes went into 5sffect, Joe Neville and Fife Waite, Ehe pony halfbacks, being promoted Eo the regulars. Carter was tried at right guard. Vorys went back to cen- ter, Moseley and Comerford were used at end, and Captain Black was again in the lineup. Emil Jacques began the play at quarterback, Rex Hutchinson getting into the final if
 
 Waite, Jacques and Neville took the ball across for touchdowns, the varsity p!-nging three times from bmidfeld to goal without being checked. Although the scrubs were unable to gain consistently, Gaillard Hound a gap in the varsity for Touchdown.
 Nearly all the football members of the Yale battalion were in uniform yesterday, although they showed lack of familiarity with the gridiron, and will not get into the scrimmaging for several days. All appeared in tip top physical condition because of their experience in soldering. Club Sheldon will probably be able to play part of Saturdays game against Tech. Neither Jim Braden nor Pat Kelly has returned to college since leaving the battalion, and it was reported last night that Kelly had gone to Washington, where he might l accept a military appointment instead 1 of being available for Yale football ! this fall. His West Point course is | to have caused him to de- eide upon a permanent military ca reer.
 Braden is understood to have joined the Washington and Jefferson football coaching staff, with which he was formerly connected. He was looked upon as certain of the posi- ton in the Yale backfeld, while Kelly was regarded as the strongest candi- date for center. Additions to the coaching staff included Jack Gates and Douglas Bomeisler, former ends, and John Field, backfeld strategist.

GIANTS SKATER
 AN OLD RECORD
Providence Grays' Mark Of 20
 Consecutive Victories is Beaten

New York, Sept. 23.-A record of thirty-two years standing toppled with a crash on the Polo Grounds yester- day. The Giants again smeared the helpless, sorrowful Cardinals all over Hen Fabian's green grass in both halves of a double header. The Mis- sourians bowed their humble heads by scores of 1 to and to g. It was a historic twin bill, and the 5000 fans present were given a treat which mo- body of baseball fans had ever before enjoyed.
 There have been several no-run, no-hit o-man-reaching-f games, and at least two unassisted triple plays are on record, but yesterday the fans saw something distinctly extraordin ary. The Giants created a new ma- jor league record by scoring their twenty-frst successive victory.
 When Ferdie Schupp blanked the Cards in the first game, making the Giant run twenty straight, the Mo- Graw band matched the major league record hung up by the Providence National league team in 1884. This record crumbled an hour and a half later when Pol Perritt won an easy victory over his former St. Louis mates. Arthur Irwin, the former Yan- kee scout, who played shortstop on the old Grays when they established their record, saw it fade from the press sand.
 The newly created record Is a great feather in the cap of the man who has made the Giants such factor in baseball-John Joseph McGraw. In mid-season many thought John J. had lost his grip as a leader, and it was predicted he would never win another pennant. It was even pointed out that without Mathewson McGraW would never have won a pennant.

Aye, Such Is Life.

1 Aye, Such Is Life. 1 The right guard dives beneath the wreck l And hits the earth below his foes; They trample on his stalwart neck And do a tango on his nose. l He bears the brunt of play by play, But, being smothered in the strife, He gets small credit from the fray | Well, such is life. The right guard sees a line smash come And hurls his manly form beneath !; They treat him like a half-soused bum By walking on his ears and teeth. The right guard plays a corking game,
 But though the air with cheers is rife
 But few there are who know his game.
 Yet such is life.

 Tt has been shown,' writes J. c. L., that good golf can be played by a boy of fourteen and an old man of seventy. What does that prove?'' It proves, for one thing, that if you hit the ball right it is going Il the general direction you desired it to go. It may prove four or five other things, but for the moment we can't think what they are.
 The National League should arise upon it's hind legs and emit three rafter-ringing cheers. Can you imagine what terrific excitement there would have been in the pennant race after June IS if McGraw had started the season with the ball club he has now? The odds are that he would have been only twelve or sixteen games beyond the next f1uttering pur- suer, with as many as 217 fervid fans paying admissions to seven rival rarks.

The Red Sox, with Speaker and Barry on deck, only beat the Tigers by a three-game margin last year. This season, with Speaker gone and Barry injured, they are upon the verge of extending this margin a game or two. We'd like to see how far they could widen the gap by losing Babe Ruth, Ernie Shore and Larry Gardner The odds are they'd dismantle the league by July.
