YALE VARSITY IS
 HUSTLED BY SCRUBS
First Down Is Registered Several Times by Second String Team

New Haven, Sept. 2O.-R Reinforced by the addition of Rex Hutchinson, the backfeld of the Yale second eleven yesterday registered several first downs against the regulars. Hutchinson weighs nearly 200 pounds, and his interference was factor in allowing Joe Neville and Ellie Waite to break away for two pretty end runs, netting between 10 and 5 yards. The second teams games were not consistent, however, and the Varsity goal line was not threatened.
 Although the regulars were unable to get away for any long gains, their backfield gained it's distance with regularity Half Back Bob Bingam took the ball across the scrub line for touchdown from about the three yard mark.
 Captain Black was out of the line up for the first tima this season, Car ter being placed at left guard, while J. Smith was used at center. Both these players were third eleven mem bers last year. Comerford, the fresh man captain of last season, was again at quarter back John Field was the only addition to the staff of vis;.-ng coaches. The lineup:
 Left end, Gates; left tackle, Taft; left guard, Carter; center, J. Smith; right guard, Zenner; right tackle, Baldridge; right end, Comerford; quarter back, E. Smith; left half back, Legore; right half back, Bingham; full back, Jacques.

The Age Limit.

The debate, "Is golf an old mans game or a kids game?'' is still raging in all it's fury.
 On the one hook we have Walter J. Travis winning championships when he was around fifty.
 On the other we have Bobby Jones beating veteran stars at fourteen Commodore Bryan Heard was runner up in the Southern championship at sixty 1.-two. Perry Adair was runner LID in the same championship three years ago at fifteen. Judging from this list the debate will move along until Doomsday or thereafter without being settled, for golf happens to be a game where age has nothing to do with it. It is merely a matter of so much strength plus nerve and muscular control plus practice.
 The ideal age for golf is between fourteen and seventy-two. Take your pick.

TANKS WIN AFTER
 ALENGTHY BATTLE
Mound City Fans Treated to Fif-
 - teen Innings Of Fast Play

St. Louis, Mo-. Sept 20.-It took the Browns fifteen innings to lose yester- days ball game by one run. The Tanks were the beneficiaries. The score was to 8.
 A two-base hit by Lee Magee and a wild throw by Jim Austin put together the run that defeated the Browns. It all happened after two were out. Lee, smacked a double to center. Hendryx Donovan's new outfielder, contributed a puny roller to Austin. Jim straight ened up, took aim at first base, and cut loose The throw was low. Sisler tried to snare it on the first hop, but the leather bounced out of his mitt. Magee, spurred by the double impulse of winning the ball game and getting to dinner, tore for the plate. Sisler recovered the ball with convenient speed and begged to Hartley just fraction of a second too late to nab Magee.
 Peckinpaugh singled and Bauman, batting for Pipp, drew four balls, fill ing the bases. That brought J. Frank lin Baker to the plate J. Frank sailed one into the right field seats in the ninth, but the best he could produce in the fifteenth was a fly to Marsans. It wouldn't have been right for J. Frank to put another into the bleachers be- cause that would have given the Tanks four more runs and made it imperative for the Browns to get three more tallies in order to lose by their customary one run.
 The score:

Big Mistake.

Joe Jackson made a sad clerical error In place of staying in the American league to grapple with Speaker and Cobb, to run lank third, Joe should have moved over into the National league, where he could have enjoyed a 25 point lead without exerting himself.
 If Jackson had come to the Ma tional in place of the American he would have been a league leader at least six years, doubly advertised by success, which takes no great stock of the runner-up.

Scrimmage For Tigers.

Lake Minnewaska, N. Y. Sept. 20. A cold snap that struck Lake Min newaska yesterday encouraged Coach Speedy Rush of the Princeton football squad to give his players little taste of scrimmage work. He selected two elevens from the candidates, with Haas as quarterback of one and Eddy the pilot of the other, and let them batter each other for fifteen minutes. Tn this time Haas team scored a touchdown on a forward pass after having carried the ball thirty yards to within striking distance of the goal posts. Tn the back field of the first eleven besides Haas were Moore, Drigga and Mathiasen.
 Driggs showed up well as a defen- sve full back, breaking up a num- Der of plays aimed at the center and sides of the line. It is probable that scrimmage work will be the order of the day from now on although Coach Rush will continue to drill the funda- mentals of the game. Highly, an end, arrived at the camp in time for the days work, but was not allowed to get into the scrimmage.
 Most of the practice was given over to kicking. Coach Rush is anxious to develop a few drop and place kick CTS of ability. Tibbitt will do the drop kicking for the eleven when he is in condition, but the probability is that he will be out of the first few games, because of an injury received this summer. George, of last years freshman team, showed some ability in drop kicking yesterday and will probably be taken in hand by the coaches.

While the now esteemed Browns will hardly attach any pennant this fall, Fielder Jones has at least yanked St. Louis back upon the baseball map, and from now on the Browns will no longer be the human doormats of the league. Jones has the nucleus for a great club, and by next spring this team will be listed as favorites with the Tanks.

 For there is now only bare chance that two clubs in the American league will win over 90 games. The club that can show 91 victories by the closing date will be close enough to a, world series to inhale the fragrant odor of about $60,000, split twenty-three ways.
