RED SOX TEAM
WORKS OUT ON
BRAVES FIELD
Pitchers and Regulars in Ten
Inning Practice for Big
Series.
By BRIGGS

Boston, Oct. Nv. F. Carrigan,
manager of the Boston American
League baseball team, put his men
through light workout this afternoon
on Braves Field, the home Of the Bos-
ton National club, where the worlds
series games in this city are to be
played The squad was divided into
two teams and ten innings werj played.
No attempt was made to keep score.
All the regular pitchers were sent in
to work fer an inning or two, and
batters were given plenty OF opportu-
nifty to hit the ball in order to sccus-
tom the felders to judging fly balls in
the sunlit spaces and the shadows OF
the park.
Captain Barry was second Daseman
Of one OF the teams. but his injured
hand is still weak, and it is not be-
leved that he will figure in the worlds
series. Janvrin, who has been at Sec
ond in Barry's absence, is expected to
play the position.
Tomorrow a team Of Red Sox play
ers will go 20 Worcester, where they
will play a benefit game with the Phil
adelphia American League team. The
proceeds will be turned over TO the
memorial fund for John II. Gaffney,
a former National League umpire. Cap
tain Barry will have charge of this
team, which will be composed largely
of substitutes. Manager Csrrigan will
give the regular team another light
workout tomorrow afternoon

MULTIPLE KICK IS
NEW RUTGERS STUNT

New Brunswick, n. j.. Oct. A thor
ough drill in Coach Sanford's newly in
vented multiple kick" was given the
backfeld men to-day, and it is likely
that the kick will be employed to good
against Washington and
Lee. The ball is passed TO two men,

Nash, All-American tackle last year,
and Robson, this years star, were put
on the second team to-day TO give the
Rutgers backs practice in charging a

Dodger Lineup Hardly
Recognizable to Brooklyn
FanS-McGraW Absent.
By FRANK O'NElLL.

The Brooklyn Robins, champions of
the National League, took up the task
of playing out their schedule at Eb-
bets Field yesterday afternoon. They
acted as hosts to the Giants, but ex-
cused the regulars from action, with q
few exceptions, and sent in squad Of
rockies to fight off the team from the
Polo Grounds. 1t was not surprising
that the Giants won. The score was
7 to 3.
Charles Lincoln Herzog donned the
managerial robes for the afternoon.
John J. McGraw folded his tent and
skunk silently away after firing the shot
that has staggered the baseball world.
None of the several players knew any
thing about the whereabouts of their
leader Those who would venture a
statement were guarded in their talk,
but it was evident that many resented
the efforts of McGrsw to impugn the
honesty of the game.
No Solomon Needed.
10 required no Solomon TO direct the
Giants to victory, and Herzie sat back
on the bench between innings and, re-
flecting on his past in Cincinnati, said:
"Zis ees Paris" The methods of the
Giants were Straightforward and sim
pie. At any rate, they were simple.
Sharp practice might lave been charged
when they pilfered several bases on
Art Dede, the young semi-professional.
Art achieved one of his life's ambitions,
however. He broke into big league
box score.
Herzog sent the boys up to the plate
to take their cut at any ball which
looked good, and cut they did. More
over, Herzie sent Lew McCarty into
the game, Drawing possible tales of
scandal, to add power to his lineup.
He surely did add power, for Lew
busted out three good hits in four times
at the bat. Larry Cheney and Leon
Galore faced the fire of the Giants.
Larry was in for three innings, just for
a bit of workout, and then retired
in favor of Leon Galore, the recruit
from the International League. Galore
remained right on through the game
and was hit pretty hard, but 1t may be
said that Leon didn't hurt his arm any
When the teams took the field Brook
Ign fans scarcely recognized the Rob
ms. Jimmy Johnston, Hi Myers and
Cheney were the only regulars in the
positions. Smyth held down second
OMara was at short, Getz at third and
Merkle at first. Jimmie Hickman stood
out in Wheatville. As the game pro-
crossed the changes were frequent, and
the announcer was indeed busy. Larry
Miller, Jack Kelliher, Fabrique, Mack
Wheat and the others all had their
chance.

ATHLETICS GROW
AT CITY COLLEGE

The executive board Of the City Col
lege Athletic Association issued yester-
day to the student body of the institl-
ton the financial report for the last
year, showing receipts of s4,O91.69 and
disbursements of s3,91s.93, leaving a
balance of S172.76.
President Israel G.. Ornstein, of the
association, considers the last season
the best, financially, that the college
has known. "In the last few years"
he writes, athletics here have grown
abnormally. Enthusiasm has increased
and teams, on the average, have been
of better calibre than any year pre-
vious. In accordance with the increase
in interest came a proportionate rise
in our expenditures. From budget
of $1,000 a year five years ago to a
budget of $4,000 last season is the rate
of this increase"

is not fair to the players"
81 don't know that McGraw said

if he thinks the boys deserted him. he
is mistaken. We did our best and lost.
That is all can say"
THE proposition that we quit is pre-

Giants did their best and couldn't win.

know that they were in to win"
The average opinion Of the Brooklyn
players on what they term the
"squawk" of McGraw cannot be printed
without considerable expurgation.
