shakespeare's Name.

Concerning the spelling of his name, it is certain that Shakespeare himself was none too certain and evidently indifferent on the matter. In his will he spells his name both .'Shakspere" and Shakespeare" while in the coun- cil b4ok of Stratford on Avon, where his fathers name occurs sixty-six times, it Is spelled in no fewer than sixteen different ways, the commone$t being one which has never been gen orally adopted-namely, f'Shaxpeare." The commonly accepted spelling today Is Shakespeare" though Professor Dowden always maintained that 1t should be "Shakspere" and so spells it in his book, 'Shakspere-HisM Mind and Art"

Boston, Oct 12.A The anniversary of the discovery of America by Co., lumbus, observed as a holiday here, coincided today with the 9th day Of the worlds series between the Brook lyn Nationals and the Boston Braves. Thousands of persons, freed from their labors by the holiday, took ad- vantage of the opportunity to go to Braves Field. The result, in the opin- ion of clubowners, before the opening of the game, was likely to be the greatest crowd in the history of base ball at Braves Field, although hold ing the record of ,42,300 in the series last year, has not yet been taxed to capacity. It was a last trench fight which Brooklyn prepared to make against Boston as they came into town from Brooklyn today. Three of the four games already played had gone against them.

WALTER HAGEN IS WINNER FROM BOB
 MCDONALD AT GOLF

Mount Vernon, N. .Y., Oct. 12.-One of the three or four golfers who were generally regarded as having excellent chances of final victory in the profes- sional tourney for the Wanamaker prizes at the Siwanoy Country club was put out of the fight in the second round yesterday when Willie Macfar- lane of the Hudson River Country club beat M. J. Brady of Oakley by up and to play. Mike Brady has been enjoying one of the best seasons of his justly celebrated career on the links and his elimination at so early a stage of the proceedings was a good deal of a shock.
 The match that drew the gallery yesterday v"s that between Walter Hagen of Rochester, Metropolitan and Western open champion, and bigNBob Mcdonald of Buffalo. Hagen won by 3 up and to play, and like Macfar- lane reserved his energies for a final drive, on the last nine holes. In the morning Mcdonald led by up, and it would have been up. had not Hagen holed fulfmashie shot for on the 382 yaSd seventeenth, a feat which de- lighted the crowd. When they set out in the afternoon Hagen got one hole back by holing an eight foot putt for a on the first, and squared the match on the seventh, where he made an other fine 8. The sixth hole, however was a real joke, for both golfers drove two balls out of bounds before they
 managed to get straight shots.
 E. At the turn Hagan should have beer 1 up but stymie robbed him of win
 and his followers groaned when an
 other stymie gave Mcdonald the tenth
 The two bits of i'll luck evidently stirred Hagen to vaster efforts, for he g- a on each of the next three holes and soon had the match at his mercy.

Harvard's Reign Over

A writer in the New York Globe has figured out that Harvard's reign in the realm of football is about over and that the Crimson will descend to the bottom with a loud crash this season. His idea is that the Harvard mastery has continued so long that &C., cording to the law of averages a change is due. A forecast of this was seen last Saturday when Tufts took the Crimson eleven into camp.
 A few years ago Harvard was sweep ing everything out of the way, but Coach Haughton had such stars as Brickley, Mahan, Hardwick and Trum- bull to build around. There appear to be no wonderful players in sight this season so even the great Haughton coaching system may not avail.

HOLIDAY CROWD ON HAND,
 FOR FIFTH CONTEST TODAY

But if the players were pleased with the unprecedented reward, the club owners were even more satisfied with the fact that the rival teams were to play today before a probable record crowd. ExceHt for the national com missions ten per cent, the clubs re- ceived the entire receipts as they will in succeeding games if any are neces- sary. The clubs already added $54.- 309 each to their coffers and with today's expected additions the share of each should aggregate approxi- mately $90,000. .~.
 While the thoughts of the players turned to the money end of the series those of the prospective spectators re- mained fixed on the players and play Batteries came in for first considera- ton. Today the element of uncertain ty in this connection was largely re- moved in the minds of the fans.

GAFFNEY WILLING
 TO BUY BROOKLYN CLUB, NE DECLARES

New York, Oct. 12-James B. Gaff- tional League club, yesterday entered the field for the purchase of the Brooklyn club. Gaffney made a flat offer to Charles H. Ebbets before the game yesterday, hut he would not dis close the price.
 Gaffney would like to buy Ebbets' interest in the o'Ib rather than the entire club, for he made known that he would like to be associated with the McKeevers in the promotion of a baseball team. Gaffney's bid is un- derstood to be less than $2.000,000 the price at which the owners would sell

Rritain's Roman Walls.

Agricola's walls were built about tn year 30 to defend Britain from the Picts and Scots. The first extended from the Tyne to the Salway Firth (eighty miles), the second from the Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh, to the Firth of Clyde, near Dumbarton (thir- ty-six miles). The former wall was re- newed and strengthened by the Elm peror Hadrian about the year 12O and by Severus abou: POS. Tourists to Eng land and Scotland may still see many remains of these ancient walls, partic- ularly of the southern one. In many places the foundations are still intact, with here and there piece of the wall itself, evidencing the faithfulness with which they were built.

CT words, is swallowed in the knowl- edge of the men that they can catch the ball under any sort of condition.
 The action of Tad Jones in calling off practice when some undergrad uates in the stand laughed at an ab- surd error on the field is quite in point. He stopped play. and walking to the stand. addressed the scoffers scathingly, saying they would be less inclined to laugh if they were in uni form doing the best they could do for Yale on the field. One may im- agine the wholesome influence of this action upon the man who comitted the error.

 Ruth ran true to form in his first tryout, however, and Smith pleased the Brooklyn fans by his clever ex- hibition. Although Marquard did we'll in his first start he was forced to quit in Wednesdays encounter. On the whole the Boston fingers. as was expected, have made a better showing than the Brooklyn boxmen.

Peronne,

peronne.
 Percnne, the important railway Junc- hon in France, has a very long history and was once the seat of a celebrated monastery founded by the Irish monk St. Fursy in the seventh century. Charles the Bold of Burgundy cap tured the town in 1465, and when Louis XII. of France came thither to treat with him he imprisoned that monarch for two days in the castle and forced him to sign so disadvantageous an agreement that the tame jays and magpies, we are told, were taught to cry "Peronne" and 'tPerette" in deri- sion of the kings weakness. The crafty Louis, however, bided his time and re- took Peronne in 14T.-Westhinste Gazette.

LIGHTNING SHOTS AT F SPORTING TARGETS F

When the Glees disbanded a few days ago Miller lost no time in getting a place on the Chain team. The veteran will probably be placed at tackle. Manager Hea1y has called a practice tonight for!7:3O at Newfield park.
 Harvard has lost 8 good backfield man in Rufus Bond, who was injured last Saturday in the Tufts engage ment. He probably won't be able to play again before the Cornell game. Harvard is being worked hard by Coach Haughton in preparation for the game with North Carolina next Saturday.
 Bridgeport boxers are very popular in New Haven these days. Young Mo- Auliffe has been matched to tackle Young Drumn1ie in a big bout in the Elm City next month. Al Jennings also states that his boy, Red Cap Will son, has been signed to tackle Chic Brown, who has been beating all corners lately.
 In New York they don't take very seriously the story about Jim Gaffney trying to buy the Brooklyn club. One writer is cruel enough to suggest that Gaffney only started the report so he could walk into the park yesterday and see the worlds series game free.
 They took Larry Gardner out in the second game to let a pinch hitter swing for him but the Red Sox third baseman didn't have to be taken out yesterday. That home run of his just about broke the Brooklyn team in half.
