GIANTS MAKE 1T
 22 TN ROW WHEN
 THEY BEAT CARDS

New York, ., Sept. 27-It is high time that somebody offered the Giants hats all around and shoes all around and then wardrobe trunks in which to pack their 'belongings. Each man. earned a $15 overcoat or a suit of clothes yesterday by doing ,ahother little sum in arithmetic and adding one to the twenty-one for shouting twenty-two. Not content with set- ting new major league record for consecutive victories on Monday, the winning way at the Polo Grounds yes this time by to 1. ~-.,
 Neither knock nor squeak was seard in the smooth running machine which John J. McGraw has finally put to- gether., It rolled on and over the despairing Cardinals with the power and finish of a six-cylinder motor.
 Not an inch was gained yesterday in this melodramatic if belated drive for a pennant. In truth the Boston Braves edged away half a game ir winning twice from Pittsburgh, while Philadelphia, with a ninth inning rally and Brooklyn held their own by beat ing Cincinnati and Chicago respective ly
 The Giants are now three games behind Boston. five and a half behind the Phillies and six and a half be hind Brooklyn, with only ten left. to play. That mathematical chance is still there and while it lasts every man on the team will keep up the ten sion.
 Fifteen solid hits tells the story in few words of yesterdays victory be- fore a scattering crowd. George Burns and Lew McCarty made three each at the expense of Watson, who pitched six innings and Williams, who pitched two.
 Slim SalIee was on the mound for the Giants. He had little on the ball and was never complete master, but he came out unscathed except in the fifth inning, when he dangled on the ragged edge.

Mike Gibbons Wants to Land Fights For
 His Young Brother

New York, Sept. 27.-Mike Gibbons Is anxious to secure a match in New York for his brother Tom for whom he acts as manager. Gibbons writes:
 "I have decided to start Tom in the light heavyweight class Although he will have to give away considerable poundage he is going after the title held by Jack Dillon. Several times he has met the same opponent as Dillon, and each time he has won more de- cisively. Tom was offered a match with Dillon, but the latter refused to meet him. I am writing this so that if there is any denial of what I have stated or any one with the courage to meet Tom let him make it known and we will ob1igingly give him a chance"
 Tom Gibbons has not done a great deal of fighting. but he has been very successful so far. It is not on record that he has lost a bout Probably all his opponents were carefully selected because he only emerges from obscur- ity at long intervals. The younger Gibbons has littlesof his brothers box ing skill, but he seems to have what Mike lacks-a fighting heart. If Mike had Toms courage he would be un- beatable.

HARRY LIE CORE
 HURT; MAY NOT
 PLAY SATURDAY

New Hav5I, Sept. Z7-Tad Jones had the Yale football mahine running on high gear during 30 minutes scrimmaging yesterday afternoon. only one cog slipping when the regu- lars were held by the scrubs only five yards from goal. Aside from this the second team did no damage, as they were unable to gain consistently, while the varsity crossed their goal four times, Neville, Jacques and Waite, each scoring once on a short line plunge after the five-yard line had been reached. and Quarterback Travis Smith furnishing the sensation of the day when he caught kickoff at tho varsity ten yard line and lodged back through the entire scrub team till he had registered a touchdown.
 He was tackled three times but threw off his tackler and covered 90 yards. End runs by Neville and Waite were the prettiest pieces of ground gaining, while the line play of Bald ridge and Captain Black, who remain ed in the lineup during the entire scrimmaging, was brilliant.
 'Chub" Sheldon took part in his first scrimmaging this season, but was replaced by Charlie Taft after 5 min- utes' practice. Rex Hutchinson re- placed Jacques in the second half of the practice but the change slowed down the backfield and Jacques was recalled for the final touchdown. Another pair of ends was tried. Gates returning to the play after a weeks layoff, while Church, who has played end in the preliminary games for two seasons, was given the right wing.

WELSH MAY SIGN
 TO MEET WHITE IN FINISH MATCH

New York, Sept. 27.-That much discussed finish fight between Cham pion Freddy Welsh and Charley White may take place in Tiajuana, Mexico, on Thanksgiving day after all. There has been some talk about the finish battle with the lightweight title at stake but hitherto most cf the talk haz been idle gossip.
 Baron Long, associated with Jim Coffroth in the Tiajuana enterprise. and a partner of Sunny Jims when championships were decided in Cali fornia, is sincere in the promotion Of the unusual contest, as outlined above. Baron (heaven's no, Long is not a titled gentleman, but he can sign five figures to blank checks) got in town Sunday after a circuitous trip country.
 The distinguished promoter is stop ping at the Claridge, and he intends to stick around old Gotham for ten days in hopes of clinching the match. The financial terms will not be made public for little while.
 Baron has an appointment with Harry Pollok, Welsh's clever manager. to talk over the various details, and before the weekend Nate Lewis is eX- pected here on the same errand. The untiring Nate, who is trying to make an eagle out of a canary, or Charley White a champion will leave Chicago Thursday.
 Until Welsh gets back home, which will be some day this week, Pollok will not sign the articles. Judging from Lewiss remarks, Nate is more than anxious to sign for White.
 If Long is successful this fight will be the first championship affair to be fought over the long7distance route since the days when Bat Nelson was kingpin of the lightweights Cars and Nelson fought three scheduled finish encounters, but each and every one of them terminated in less than forty-five rounds.
 Should the. financial inducements suit the champion, it is 10 to 1 shot that he will agree to stake his title in bout to a finish. He has beaten White three times in four contests, and he feels confident of stopping him this time.

DECLARES YALE
 OUGHT TO BEAT HARVARD TEAM

New Haven, Sept. 27-Reggie Brown. the Harvards football scout who seldom ever misses Yale game. has the following to say regarding the 1916 situation: s...,-. s.
 "Yale bids fair to have the most powerful team she has had in years. with a line averaging ;,194' pounds At Princeton only four regulars are missing from the eleven this season, and their places can be easily filled from the freshman. and scrub teams; while at Cornell one more f1rst-string man has been lost, but with Cornelrs big squad it should be as easy for Cornell to make up va cancies in two teams as the other col leges in one. From this distance it looks as if Harvard could not beat Cornell with her material, but might with her coaching system.
 l"Princeton ought to win from liar yard on the strength of her experi- enced men, and Yale defeat Harvard through the exceptional individuals she has to mould into a team. Yale may be handicapped a bit though through the change in her systems. As the season progresses the situation often changes through injuries or for other reasons, and fortnight hence the Harvard position may or may not improve"

PENN. HAS SQUAD
 OF I32 OUT FOR
 FOOTBALL WORK

Philadelphia. Sept. 27-Bob Fol well, coach of Penn's Varsity, had an earnest talk yesterday afternoon with Harold Gaston, coach of the scrub team, who saw West Virginia at practice and Folwell decided to strengthen his team for the coming game by putting Ben Derr at right half back and Bill Quigley at left half back in the scrimmage. Hobby Light played quarterback and Graves Williams was at fullback.
 The scrubs, by making frequent sub 'stitutions, were able to give the Vars 1ty tough opposition. In the middle of the practice Fred Eble was sent in to replace Dorr, and Bryant went to quarter. Miller and Thomas were used as ends. Kirkman played left tackle, as Captain Matthews was at tending to his college roster. Robin son played at left guard. the place left vacant through the absence of Hen ming, who was operated on Sunday night for appendicitis.
 The work of Titzel on the scrub was particularly watched. If his showing warrants it, he will be placed on the Varsity. One hundred and thirty-two football players romped about Franklin Field. It was the largest squad that has appeared there in practice for five years.

COACH BACKS IN
 EFFORT TO BRACE
 HARvARDS ATTACK

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 27-Har- Yards hardest early-season workout was given to the Crimson football playerx in the Stadium yesterday af- ternoon.% The coaches made it a test day for the, backfeId men, and all the candidates were worked to the limit. So good was the attack which followed the signal drill between Teams A and B that the Varsity was able to score four tquchdowns against the scrubs, whb went into the scrimmage fresh after two days rest. restt5o.
 The touchdowns were real ones, the Varsity starting in each case from the vicinity of it's 220-yard line and driving steadily up the field. The first-string men were not stopped. The quarter backs used little open play, although here and there an attack was made at the wings. The interference was bet ter than it was in the game last week.
 Gamer, Thacher, Horween, and Horne were the men who made the scores. There was another shift on the first-string line Moseley Taylor being placed at leM tackle beside Dad- nun, and Gamer, moved to tackle on the. wing. Phinney was again started as first left end to Wood, who played end with him on the freshman team last fall was taken up from the sec ondzteam squad.
 Practically all of the Varsity line men were in scrimmage for the offen- sive drill, but the main attention was paid to the backs. Each of them, starting with Bond, Hitchcock, and Casey, was worked many times in suc- cession, and was coached constantly.

New York, Sept 27-Louis Chey- folet with Sunbeam automobile yes- terday drove two laps at the Sheeps- head Bay Speedway at an average rate of speed of IA miles an hour. This is the fastest time ever made on e speedway by a car in the 300 cubic inch piston displacement class, to which the entrants for ns~t Satur- days Astor Cup race are limited.

 Brooklyn Club.

New York, Sept. 27.-Hornsby, of the Cardinals, lost two points yester- day. The day as a whole, however. was productive of mild battling among the quartet striving for the batting championship in the National League. Hal Chase, the leader; Jake Daubert and Zach Wheat neither gained nor lost appreciably. Chase is twenty-five points ahead of his nearest competitor and is practically assured of the title. Hornsby failed to make a hit in four times at bat and dropped from .313 to .311.

BROOKLYN MAY GAIN.

The Brooklyn players expect to gain today in their fight with the Phillies for the National league pennant. Nor ans men are idle, while Brooklyn tackles the Cubs again. If Brooklyn wins it will mean a gain of half a game on the Phillies. This advantage will probably be needed when the two teams clash tomorrow in the first of the three game series at Brooklyn. There was no change in the Ameri- can league standing because no games were scheduled yesterday.

It is said Jim Coffey, the New York heavyweight. is ready to quit the ring game. He took a trimming from Gun boat. Smith in Philadelphia recently and this convinced him that he cannot come back. Coffey owns a cafe in New York and has plenty of money.
 Benny Kauff is trying to reach the 900 mark in hitting before the season closes but his chances are not very bright. The last published averages game him a mark of .9s2. He would have to deliver a large number of blows to make a gain in percentage large enough to get him into the charmed circle. Kauff got two hits yesterday but didn't get a safety in either of Mondays games.
 Mike Doolan or Hans Lobert will get the job as manager of the Milwaukee club of the American association. The owner says he wants a graduate of McGraw's school and as these players have outlived their usefulness with the Giants they will be glad to take a managers berth.
