ary line of defense-to come forward to their aid and tackle the runner either before he gets going at full speed or before he crosses the line of scrimmage. Thus is an offense spoiled.
 In addition to these two main re- quisItes line should: CD form some of the interference for the runner; C2) dc most of the tackling and inter- fering on punts and kick-offs; and (3) take over the bulk of the placement kicking. These forwards are gener- ally the most stolid members of the team and therefore are not of as nev- ous temperament as the lighter and more highly strung backs. Thus they are likely to prove less eXcitable when game.
 The spectator at a football game will better appreciate the scheme of things if he. gives attention to the two lines of scrimage. He will often find one man playing against two and overcoming them. In fact at the point of attack. two players and even more are often sent against the defensive ineman in order to bowl him out of the way of the play Hence, this one defensive forward must not only out paly and outcharge these two oppon- ents to be successful in the one play, but he must also break through them, from time to time, to stop the attack behind the line Of scrimmage. The players who do this certainly deserve as much praise as the backs for on them rests the burden of the game, and those who say there is no skill in football should think over the matter Of one Iinenan on defense meeting an attack aimed at him and stopping it.
 AS defense in football comes first, defensive play is first taught the for wards. The defensive lineman takes a, O ina of SJ.i-p 1crea and never back of it, unless he be a rowing center, so he can charge for ward swift and low. His position Is not unlike that of a sprinter at the start of race. His legs are kept un- der him in order to utilize his power ful thigh muscles in charging and his body should incline forward and be slightly higher at the shoulders with his head always raised so he can see the attack as he drives forward to meet it. Throughout his charge his body should remain in relatively the same position as at the start in order to have him meet all plays low. If he goes high he is swept aside In charging on defense he is permitted to use his hands and he should use them in driving back opponents and in keeping their bodies from getting against him. Once that is done he is body blocked and out of the play
 In defense the 1ineman takes the same position as on defense. AS he cannot use his hands his object is to charge under the defensive forward playing against him and then raise him up as he drives him back.
 Most linemen have three big faults to overcome.
 CD They charge too high and are carried out of the play
 CD They put their heads down and do not get into the play because they cannot see what is being done.
 (3) They stop their charge when they hit an opponent instead of driv- ing this opponent back into the play or out of the way. Copyrighted, 1s1s. by Sol Metzer)

 t Football calls for perfection in so many departments Of play that a coach often finds himself at a loss to place his hand on the most import ant In detail play fundamentals stand out above all else; in team play the work of the forwards-the rush line from end to end-on both offense and defense, is the turning point be- tween victory and defeat. They are the stone wall of defense; the steam roller of offense.
 One may go far into football his tory and he will invariably find that the great elevens have been marked by aggressive linemen. The line must bear the brunt of the opponents at tack. On offense it has made all the so- called Ail-American backs Prec- ious few of them ever made ground carrying the ball without the cooper ation of their forwards. Indeed, it is one of the misfortuneS of sport that proper credit is not given in football to the men who clear the way for the winning touchdown or who, in turn, prevent the other eleven from SCOT ing.
 The average football follower is prone to praise the backs too highly. This is. because their work is more open and more easily seen. Even before each season every coach is told countess times aDOuC the star DaCkS who will try for the team. While it is consoling to know that such men will be on the squad, defeat is the DOT ton, no matter what their ability if the line is not up to standard. The back has not been born who can con- sistently gain ground if his forwards do not make his openings. For ex- ample, there was Mercer, a Pennsyl vania captain, as fine a back as the game ever saw. Yet one year his work was apparently so weak he was delug- ed with criticism. Mercer was actual difference was with the forwards. Mad they been up to standard Mercer would have been ranked where he be- longed-as one of the games greatest backs.
 Take the case of Garrels, of Mich igan. Although powerful, fast, ag- gressive and as ideal a back as ever played, he was helpless in 1906 against the superior Quaker rush line. And Harvard, In the old days the Grim son produced backs without end, equal to any in the land, but until Haughton came and brought the line up to stand ard Harvard failed m It's big tests.
 He is a wise coach who gives atten- tion to his line. That perfected - mediocre backs can gain ground. The forwards are the vital part of the ma chine. They supply the power. On attack, they must dispose of the first line of defense so the runner. and his interference backfield-nay get by the line of scrimmage without check and at full speed Then, and then only, is consistent rushing pos sible.
 On defense, the nnemen must do just the opposite. They must either break through the opposing line or charge it back into the oncoming play This cheeks and delays the attack behinS the line of scrimmage and per mits the defensive backs-the second

 In the second game Demaree op- posed Reulbach for seven and Bender twirled the last two innings, the In dian not being scored on. Reulbach pitched better ball than Demaree, but errors by the latter's teammates help ed the visitors to two of their runs. In the first inning Snodgrass singled and Maranville was safe on Stocks tumble. Wilhoit's liner to Stock resulted in a double play. Konetchy singled, send ing lMaranville to third, and Maran- vile scored while Konetchy was being run out between first and second Philadelphia's run was scored in the second inning. Whitted walked, took second on Cravath's single and scored on two force out plays at second base. Boston took the lead in the sixth when Snodgrass scored on his single, Maranville's sacrifice, Luderus' throw ing to second too late to catch Snod- grass. an out, and Konetchy's single. With two out in the seventh, Gowdy walked and Reulbach was hit by a pitched ball. Snodgrass got a single when his grounder bounced over Stocks head, Gowdy scoring, while Reulbach crossed the plate when Whit ted threw wild to third base.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BEARISH
Opening and Closing Hours Were
 Marked With Remarkable Activity

New York, Oct. 2.-The stock mar ket today entered upon the fourth quarter of the year with every indi- cation of a continuance of the re- month, although quotations suggested an accession of bearish aggressive ness. Dealings again attained the inn pressive total of 1,050, 900 shares, but very large proportion of the turn over occurred in the first and final hours, the intermediate stage being marked by relative dullness and un- certainty.
 There was nothing in the general news ever the weekend to cause any diminution of the optimism so long prevalent in speculative circles. On the contrary, numerous additional statements of earnings submitted by railroads and industrial companies were of the most encouraging char acter, these, with scarcely an eXcep- tiOn, showing large gains for the ti- nancial year or in excess of cores bonding periods of 1915.
 Shares of the coal roads, especially Norfolk and Western and Lehigh Valley, gave the market it's stability at the opening, Norfolk and Western soon advancing to the new maximum of 140. Illinois Central increased last Saturdays gain and minor lines were represented by the Wabash issues and Western Maryland at material ad- Vances.
 Realizing sales exerted their usual influence in this quarter and trading shifted to industrials, equipments and marines, with gross advances of ? to 5 points in Baldwin and American Lo- comotives, American Car, Pressed Steel Car New York Air Brake and Marine preferred, these being retained in large part.
 Coppers were comparatively back ward with Central Leather, General Electric, Mexicans and Sugars, while motors reflected moderate pressure. United States Steel retained it's lead ership in respect to activity and closed at the slightest fractional loss after an extreme decline of 1 1-2 points.
 Heavy dealings in International bonds denoted an increased demand for the new quarter, with some trivial concessions in speculative issues.
 Total sales, par value, were $4,745,- 900.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

 In the opening game Alexander out pitched Ragan, who worked for seven innings, and Allen, who twirled one inning. Alexander held Boston to three hits and registered his 16th shutout of the season. Only one visit ing player got past first base. Whitted scored in the second inning on his double, CravatIns sacrifice and Luder- us double. killifer scored the other run in the fifth inning.

It was a hitlesS shut out during the five innings that Ernest Shore pitched for the world champions. He was then relieved by Jones, in pursuance of Manager Carrigan's pol icy of giving the pitchers whom he will call upon in the world series only enough work to keep them in condi- tion
 Most of the other Red Sox regulars were l1ept in for only part of the game and after the sixth inning the lineup veteran Heine Wagner, now employed ,as a coach. Their playing presented an indication of the strength of the Bostcn reserves.
 The probability that Captain Jack Barry, wno has been out of the game a month with a broken hand, would be able to play in the big series de- velCpeG with his appearance at prac- tice. He favored the hand in catch ing, but threw with considerable strength. George Foster, the conva- lescent pitcher, also tossed a few balls in practice today. He is still weak
 The Boston players abandoned Fen way park as their home grounds with today's game. arrangements having been completed to play a double head CT with Philadelphia tomorrow at Braves field, the grounds of the Ma tionaI league here, which the Red Sox will use during the world series. The change was made to allow Boston men to become accustomed again to the field which was the scene of their world series exploits last year. The Red SoN were in good batting form today. Gardner's double and his sacrifice fly accounted for two of the scores. It was not until the seventh inning that Philadelphia could break through Bost0n's defense and then, with Jones pitching, StrunIs single, Schang's double and an infield out, sent in their two runs. The game was the fastest played here this season. one hour, sixteen minutes

REDS THINK A
 LOT OF MATTY Cincinnati Players Sing Praises of the Big Six.

When Father Time laid his viselike clutch on the sturdy shoulder Of Christy Mathewson he halted the career of the greatest, .grandest pitcher the game of baseball has know. For years Matty stood at the top, head and shoulders above all of his contem- poraries He played the game fairly, souarely, all the way-an the time. And not the least tribute to his great ness was that deliberate cunning which gets us one and all in the end
 Mathewson has graduated from the ranks to a position of command. One great question is on the lips of every sport lover of the land: will the grand old master make good as a manager?p This is not a question of idle curiosity. It touches something close to the heart-as close as friend ships and kin and home; yea, even re- ligion itself.
 Mathewson may not yet be thrown into the scales of managerial ujdg ment. The future holds the verdict. But in the meantime his friends and admirers the country over-they run the gamut of life's scale from steel king and merchant price to the tow headed urchin of yarn ball crossroads fame hope and pray that he will never fail.
 Beloved by Players.
 The best wey to get a true line on any man is to watch him in his own home. Mathewson is beloved of his

face his fellows if he once deliberately failed
 "Ie seems to understand us so we'll" said another, who was supposed to be a bonehead pitcher when Mathewson took charge, "and he's so patient with our faults. He taught me more pitch ing in a month than ever learned all my life before. And believe me, I had to learn alone"
 He never asks any of us to do what he wouldn't do himself" declared still another. "He is not too snobbish to treat his players as his equals, mental ly and socially. But he is possessed of a quiet reserve that keeps all of us i'll our proper places. Say, if there's such a thing as harmony, then you can find 1t now in the Cincinnati baseball club. We just have to be honest with oudselves when we play for such a grand honest fellow"
