HARVARD ELEVEN
 IMPROVES AFTER VISIT OF COACHES

Cambridge, Sept. 22-The Harvard varsity football players improved with a rush yesterday afternoon in their third scrimmage of the week against the scrubs. Driven hard by the coaches, after their uncertain work of the day before, the first string men worked hard and fast, scoring four touchdowns and field goal against the second team.
 Flower and Minot scored on end runs of more than 25 yards, and Casey counted with a 15-yard romp The other score was made by Burn ham after a series of line plunges. The field goal was kicked by Bond from the 25-yard., line. Captain Dadmun was shifted back to his old place at guard, while Taylor was in the lineup for the first time at tackle and did the goal kicking after touchdowns.
 Zack has played so we'll at tackle on the left wing that he probably will be there Saturday. The varsity lines charging was better than it has been. and there was some fine interference for the backs. The return of Murray Taylor from Texas helps the quarter back situation tremendously. as he Is the best driver Harvard has this fall. He will not get into a game until next week, however.
 Harvard's ends have been causing Coach Leary considerable worry, but both Phinney, from the freshmen, and the veteran. Harte, played well. Hor- ween, the heaviest of the regular backs. has bad leg and did not play.

BROOKLYN FANS SORE AT
 HIGH WORLDS SERIES PRICES
Ebbets Plans to Charge $5 and $3 For All
 Reserved Seats.

Note. we say one game after each amount so no one will get confused and think this amount is for he se- ries. Only the s5 and 8 seats will be reserved.
 What makes 1t still worse from a Brooklyn standpoint is that President Lannan of the Boston Red Sox has announced that there will be ID in- crease in former prices f'the Red Sox get in the series. In answer to ques- ton sent him President Baker of the Phillies wired back: 'If Philadelphia should win there will be no increase over last years prices despite the linn ited capacity of our park"
 The price list of the Brooklyn club is far in excess to anything ever asked for worlds series tickets. When the series were played on the Polo grounds boxes sold for $5, the upper grand stand for t3, the lower for g. and bleachers $1. This has been the gen. eral run of prices everywhere, though the Red Sox had s,0Q0 50 cen seats las, season, and Mack formerly charged 5( cents to stand in the outfield at Shfbe Park.

GIANTS MAKE
 SIXTEEN WINS
 IN SUCCESSION

New York, Sept. 22-By way of di- version, whom do you suppose the Giants beat yesterday at the Polo Grounds? The Chicago Cubs of Joe Tinker is the answer. As they say in the arithmetic class, the sum was 4 to O; higher mathematics, incident ally, makes it the sixteenth straight victory. The game was embellished Giants behind Pol Perritt.. You re- member Pol, the lad who beat the Phillies twice in one afternoon.
 For three innings the Cubs were quite gay with Pol, but then he shut down on the opposition. and after the third he did not give the Bruins a hit. MT. Tinker, who chaperons the Cubs, was very much perturbed. He could not understand it, because every time any one of his batsmen famed he was told that Pol had nothing but a glove and good wish.
 As a matter of fact, Pol Perritt had more than that. He had curve which raised havoc with the backs of the Chicago batsmen. He also had a slow ball which put tears in their eyes. In other words he was there, but the Cubs couldn't find him.
 It is no easy task for any team to win 16 games in row. In fact, any major league club which resorts to this sort of thing is usually consider ed as more or less a great aggregation So it is with the Giants. They are going along to beat the band, and yet there is no goal which they can hope to reach. All that they are doing is winning ball games, and their spirit Is much to their credit.
 Perhaps, if you will let your fancy drift back, you will remember this Claude Hendrix. At one time he was the trump card in the Pirates pitch ing staff. Although it is a sad thing to chronicle, there is no getting away from the fact that Claude is getting old. Tn fact, everybody gets old as the years drift along.
 As a man up a tree looks at the sit uation. MT. Hendrix did not have a Chinaman's chance against Pol Per- ritt. Tn fact, Pol did a very finished job at twfrling. He put the ball every where over the platter except where the enemy could hit it. The audience will now arise while the band plays and will applaud MT. Perritt.

.LEGoRE STARS IN
 YALE PRACTICE BY KICKING FIELD GOAL

New Haven, Sept. 22.-Yale's foot ball squad received a boost yesterday when the disbanding of the Yale artil- lery battalion swelled its total by 20 players, about half of whom reported for gridiron practice, including "Chub" Sheldon, tackle last season Yester- days practice included 30 minutes scrimmaging in which the scrubs were unable to gain, the regulars scoring a field goal by Harry LeGore and touch downs by LeGore, Bingham and JacuQes.
 LeGore's drop-kick goal was his first of the season and was made from the 40 yard line. The coaches insisted last night that the frequent scoring or the varsity was largely due to ragged rushline work by the scrubs. The re- turn of the soldiers to the football squad is expected to strengthen the scant substitute rushline material.

New York, Sept. 22.--The Brooklyn fans are boiling with rage att what they consider the highway robber tac- tics of Owner Ebbets. the Brooklyn magnate. In the event that his club gets into the worlds series he intends to boost the prices so that the only reserved seats sold will be 8 and 8 and bleacher seats will be B. Ebbets is not very popular in Brooklyn now and it looks as if this latest move will make him as well liked as the rent collector,
 Here is the Brooklyn price list:
 All box seats! s5 per game. First nine rows, downstairs, back of the boxes, and first seven rows up- stairs, back of the boxes, $5 per game.
 Rows 10 to g downstairs. 8 per game.
 Rows s to 15 upstairs, s9 per game. Pavilion seats Cpresent 50 cent bleacher seats), g per game. Right field temporary bleacher seats, g per game.

 Many reasons have been advanced for this but the truth is probably found in the fact that Owner Ebbets is not popular with the folks who sup port the game. Hey has always been accustomed to put the finnancial side of baseball ahead of everything else. He has the seating of his park so ar ranged that he gets a higher average rate of admission than any other club in either big league.
