CHANTS REEL OFF
 NINE STRAIGHT AND REEDS ARE VICTIMS

New York, Sept 15-John J. Mo- Graw and, 4,000/ fans watched the Giants win their ninth game, one right after another, at the Polo Grounds, yesterday, with mixed feel ings Satisfaction there was in the marked efficiency of a reconstructed team; regret there was that the meta morphosis was not worked three weeks earlier, before the team had sunk to such low level in the per- centage column.
 With the pitchers going so we'll as they are. there is no team in the Ma tional league which presents such a formidable array of batting and field ling strength, but the season is wan lng and the Giants are still nine games away.
 Matty's Cincinnati Reds were beat en yesterday by a score of to l. The Giants did just about all that was required and nothing more. but play ed with what appeared to be plenty of confidence and reserve power.
 Jeff Tesreau pitched winning game for New York but not partic- ularly brilliant one. He was backed enough hitting in the pinches to in- sure victory except for a possible col lapse which happily, as it turned, was in no danger of coming.
 Mosely did the pitching for Cincin- natl and suffered in comparison with Tesreau only because what little hit ting the Giants did came at times when it counted most.

PICK FORTY TWO
 FOR FIRST HARVARD FOOTBALL SQUAD

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 15-Coach Leary picked 42 of his 75 candidates yesterday for the Varsity squad for tn ecominG season, three elevens at once being organized. The men were hastily thrown together. however. for signal drill hnd for some work on breaking thfough.
 The first string selected. included most of the men who have seemed to be Varsity material. but there was a few surprises. Ryan, the former No- ire Dame end, remained with the scrubs, as did Flynn, the best fresh- man tackle last ear. In the first squad there are five quarterbacks, four centres. nine running backs. eight tackles, seven guards, and nine end rushers, the list including several of last years Varsity men who have not yet returned for play.
 In the first team were Likens and Hartley. two 1915 men, as ends; Lo- we'll and Batchelder, tackles; Captain Dadmun, and the freshman lineman, Clark. as guards; and Harris. Vars it substitute, centre. The backfeld for this group included Robinson, quarter and Horween, Bond and Flow CT, backs, the last two having come up from the freshman team. Des- mond. the former Lehigh player, was on the second Varsity.

IANTI-TUBERCULOStS
 BENEFIT CONTEST TAT NEWFIElO PARK

In order to provide additional funds for the Employees Relief association of the AAti-Tuberculosise society the Industrial Baseball league has ar ranged for benefit game to take place at Newfield park Sept. 23. The Singer and Locomobile clubs, two ot the strongest in the league, will op- pose each other on. that day. This will not be the usual exhibition, con- test but real game.

 This benefit contest is an annual af- fair and in the past has been a great success. The fact that the funds are to be devoted to such worthy cause has already resulted in a large sale of tickets in the various factories John F. Gunshannon of Hartford, the famous old ball player/who founded the association may be present at the game to make brief address.

NOBODY WILLING
 TO OFFER MORAN
 AND MORRIS PURSE

New York. Sept. 15-Frank Moran and Carl Morris are having hard time finding a battle-ground for their proposed bout, Apparently, even the promoters, usually the last ones to wake up, have tumbled to the fact that these clumsy second raters are a pair of dead ones. Moran, who never did show anything like first class form, still has the self-assurance to demand purse worthy of champion.
 The price hek asks for his services is about the only high class thing about the Pittsburger. He set a high rating on himself, and byAsticking to it made a fair sized fortune out of d few bouts because, for some reason or other, both the promoters and sporting public took him at his own valuation.
 Morris and Moran would make a very poor battle. Both are painfully lslow. Morris has taken part in more disappointing bouts in New York than any other heavyweights in recent years. Moran is little if any better.

LE GORE STARS IN FIRST !SCRIMMAGE
 OF YALE ELEVEN

New York, Sept. 15-The Yale foot ball squad was given its first real test of hard work yesterday. Ten min- utes before the close of the afternoon drill, Head Coach Tad Jones, con- trary to expectations. sent two teams through a scrimmage.
 The scarcity of rushline material compelled the removal from their regular positions of several players to tackle and guard positions on the second team, which was an unsatis- factory defensive combination, un- able to prevent the regulars from crashing through the line for re- peated large gains. No reckoning was made of the scoring, the backs being halted after they had pene- trated the second team rushline.
 Rex Hutchinson and Harry LeGore were conspicuous in the line forcing. The other halfback position was play ed by the veteran Bob Bingham. How ell Van Nostrand, the veteran quar- terback, was used on the second elev- en. Ames acting as field general for the regulars. Cox, tackle for the freshmen last year, was placed at left tdChle, WHeTe SudTlle 1dll HdS pccl played most of the time since the squad reported.
 Taft did not get into the practice yesterday, Vorys was at center in place of Callahan. Gait was at right guard, the position held by Zenner most of the time since the squad reported.
 Captain Comerford, last years freshman team, was at right end and Zenner at right guard. Walker Corbin, son of "Pa" Corbin, one of Yale's most famous captains, was used at tackle on the second team. His father. Connecticut tax commissioner. was on the side lines.

Travers Better Than
 Champion Chick Evans
 In Four Ball Match

New Rochelle, N. Y., Sept. 15-The sentence Jerry Travers was at his best" tells the story of the four ball match at Wykagyl, yesterday. in which Chick Evans, amateur and open champion of the United States, played with John G. Anderson, |against Travers and T. V. Berming- ham The golfer who has held five national titles was by all odds the best of the four and chiefly through his efforts h eand Bermingham won the match by 2 up and l to play.
 The gallery, which had gone out to see Chick Evans, came back singing the praises of Jerry Travers, for the former champion played almost fault less golf. and his individual score of I72 was only a stroke worse than the best ball score of Evans and An tderSon.

.SHOCKER THROWS LINK DOWN WHEN
 HE BEATS TIGERS

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 15.-A diabolical plot, matched by Hughey Jennings. to defeat the Yankees was thwarted yes terday afternoon in regular Frank MerriweIl style by Urban Shocker, who made triumphant return to his home town as a member of big league baseball club and threw the hooks into the Tigers by a score of to ?. | With develish cunning, Hughey in sinuated to Bill Donovan what a grand thing it would be to permit Shocker to take the mound against the Tigers so the home folks could see for themselves what a great little pitcher Urban had become since he cavorted around the sand lots of old Detroit. To show his love and esteem for his old pal, Jennings said he would invite all the semi-pro and amateur ball players to Navin field and call it "a Shocker day.
 | Only when it was too late did Don ovan learn of Jennings's perfidy. Sev- eral Yankees, who are not swayed by sentiment, unearthed the plot and communicated the findings to their en- ployer and much against his will Don ovan was forced to the conviction that r~ had been tricked by his old-time friend. The details of the conspiracy as laid bare were thusi Jennings mo- bilized all Detroit's amateur ball play CTS out to Navin field, not to honor Shocker. but to jinx him. What does ball player do when a calculation is arranged for him and presentations are heaped upon him? Every street Arab knows the answer. He blows. Here was Jenningss scheme in all its infamy. Very clever. But Shocker proceeded to >shatter tradition to bits. He held the slugging Tigers to five hits and made most of them look like cripples tied to a post. He wavered a bit in the ninth, but, with the tying and winning runs on the sacks, settled down and caused Mckee, a pinch hit ter, to foul to Mullen. Detroit made only ont hit up to the seventh.
