The Nearness Of War.
"One marked fact which time ant

Fordham to Play
Norwich u. To-day

The Fordham team will play its first
college game Of the season to-day with
the Norwich University eleven on
Fordham Field. 1t will be the first
meeting between the two teams since
1912, when the Vermonters won by a
score of % to o.
Coach McCaffcry put the players
through long workout Yesterday. a
heavy rain began 70 fall in the middle
Of the drill, but the squad continued TO
work under conditions that will prob
cbly prevail to-day. The varsity
eleven repeatedly made the length of
the field under the series Of bucks,
shifts and passes that will be used
against Norwich. Brennan practised
kicking out to Frick. The eleven lined
up several times for kickoffs.
Coach McCafery was unable TO de-
termne last night whether Bill Erwig,
the fast back, would play to-day. If
Fordham scores first il is unlikely that
Erwig will risk further injury by play
ing against Norwich.
A close game is expected, as the
Vermonters have improved considerably
since their opening rout at the hands
Of Boston College. The game will
start at p. m.
Coach McCaffery will get final line
on his players before the series Of
hard contests, which starts with the
Holy Cross game next Saturday, gets
under way.

Storm Breaks Up
Shawnee Tourney

SHAWNEE ON-DELAWARE, Oct. ~.
Only one round in the invitation golf
tournament at the Shawnee Country
Club was decided to-day. Play in the
afternoon became wellnigh impossible
because Of storm which broke over
the section. so violent as 10 uproos
trees and place some OF the greens
awash. In the chief eight first round
winners were Max II. Behr, C Baltus-
rol; Reginald Worthington and Alec
Coles, both Of sha NEE, and Gardiner
". White, the Flushing record holder,
who won the medal here yesterday.
Early Rain Helped Greens
With the exception of White, the
other survivors played better golf than
in the testing round. This was in
measure due TO the rain in the early
hours, which was little more than q
shower, for it had the effect Of making
the green ideal for approaching.
White never drove better in his life,
but there were several instances where
his short approaches went a-wander-
ing.
In his match with F. c. Hall, of Mont
clair, White, after starting with three
rs, topped an approach TO the brook.
He also got into trouble at tho
sixth hole, dubbed another approach
going 10 the seventh ard lost the shor.
eighth because Of stymie. All these
placed him one down standing on the
ninth tee. White then played practi-
cally par golf and won SIX straight
hoes and the match by 5 and 4.

West Point Cadets
Meet V.M.I. To-day

WEST POINT, ~ Y, Oct. 12.-The
Army football eleven spent an after
noon on the gridiron under threatening
weather conditions getting ready for
the game with Virginia Military In
stitute here tomorrow.
The West Pointers Of the South are
coming here for the first time in ath-
ietic competition, and while the Army
expects rather hard game, in view OF
the many substitutes il plans to use,
the cadets look for ultimate victory
for Elmer Olirhant and his Army CO.
workers.
The soldiers will present a patched
UP eleven for the Virginians to battle,
McQuarries and Vandegraf being our
Of the lineup, the former because
Of scholastic difficulties and the lat
ter because of an injury received in
the Carnegie Tech game of a week ago.
Monroe will start behind the line for
McOuarries. while Smith. a plebe, will
play at tackle for Bull Vandegraif.
March's place at end will 90 to Rich
ardson, another new man the coaches
arc trying out.
The last drill here consisted princi-
pally of signal practice, during which
several new plays TO be launched to-
morrow were rehearsed with varying
success.

On Eddie Cicone and His Shine Bali

one or two vulnerable spots. but they
believe the Sox tide is about due 70
turn. and that Cicotte is the boy to do
the turning.
They know if Eddie is overpowered
on Saturday that the Jig is practically
up. Bat they believe that E. c.. after
winning the ifth game. will return for
the seventh spectacle and carry the big
show along TO gay and giddy finish.
They also expect Joe Jackson ard
Hap Felsch, among others, 70 resdjust
ihe.r wayering batting eyes and strike
OFF a few popular blows for the West
ern cause. Jackson had one big out
burst in the second game, but outside
OF that the Greenville howitzer has
gone hitless. Felsch, too. has slipped
a bit and is once more due.
Another great crowd is expected Sat-
urday. since this the most vital game
yet played. II the Sox win. the series
will very like 20 seven games. II they
lose, the carnival will almost surely end
in New York Monday. This is one bat
tie the Sox MUST win. II they lose
now the buoyant hopes that rose TO
such colored heights last Sunday will
be as gray as the snow sweep and the
fog banks through which their special
rode back home.

Wesleyan to Meet
Stevens |. To-day

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Oct. 1.-THE
Wesleyan team, which will meet Ste
VEINS Institute on Andrus Field this
afternoon, will have but little more
knowledge OF football than the eleven
which faced Rhode Island last week.
Owing to the taking up OF military
training this week. in which all Of the
football men have enrolled, Coach
Fauver has been unable 10 iron the
wrinkles out of the team which APP
peared in the first game. Monday,
Wednesday and FRIDAY afternoons have
been devoted 10 the military work.
The football practice Tuesday and
Thursday was Of a light nature. No
new plays have been developed. Cravat
has replaced Peck at centre and Bower
will go in at right end instead OF
Austin.
Hahn will begin the game at quarter
back. Otherwise the team will start
the game Just as it did last week. K.
V. Dixon, who has had broken arch,
is in good condition again. Boote and
Hahn will do the drop-kicking and
Hahn or Keller the punting.

to his fast ball and the break to his
curve"
There are the two sides Of the story.
Take the one you choose.
To man up tree 4 seems as II the
series is likely 70 20 the limit II Chi
caco lives up TO season form and wins
here it is almost . cinch such will be
the case And then the series is likely
70 be decided on the Aip Of coin, for
the club that plays a. home in the
seventh game will have oil the advan-
tage. II Russell is ready 20 deliver q
regular Russell game, then the series is
Just what il was a the start-a stand
off TO be decided by the breaks of luck.
New York WAS doped IS having Il
marked advantage only On the assump-
tion that Cicotte and Faber must pitch
the remaining games Of the White Sox.
If Reb Russell can turn in good game,
especially a winning game, there is alb
solutely no choice. Tomorrow will tell.
In any event, the Giants are asking
no odds Of fortune. They are ready TO
proceed to a speedy decision. Chicago
is likely TO profit by delay. New York
pulled itself together as the result of q
rainy afternoon. The weather tonight
is almost as important phase of the
situation as the question of to-mor-
rows batteries.

Matt McCrath
Skaters Old
Weight Mark
Policeman Athlete Hurls So
Pound Iron 43 Feet
W Inches

Matt McGrath, the burly policeman
athlete Of the New York Athletic CLUB,
erased an old American record when
he threw the 5G-pound weight a dis
tancc Of 43 feet IL inches at the
Columbus Day games Of his club, held
at Travers Island yesterday. The hg-
ures displaced those made by John j..
Flanagan in 1904, OF 40 feet inches.
McGrath battered the old mark at the
fall games held several weeks ago, but
the weight was found to be under
weight. II complied with all the
A. A. U. rules yesterday.
Many Soldiers Take Part
A large number of soldiers were seen
in competition. A relay team from
Fort Hamilton, composed OF Arthur
Callahan, Robert Savage, Sidney Leslie
and Arthur Pinkerton, all prominent
4. A. L. runners, ran away with the
s80-yard event. Eddie Frick went down
TO defeat In the 000-yard handicap run,
in which he finished second to John

which il was planning TO do. Schalk
caught sitting dcwn.
The game was interrupted twice.
Four o'clock occurred in the midst OF
the fifth inning, and there was inter-
mission for tea. In the sixth, some in
toxicated sheep and cows occupants OF
the third base bleachers, got into a
brawl over a wager and rushed onto
the field OF play. 1t took two or three
hours for the shepherds and cowboys
70 drive them back to their places. No
drinks will be sold on the grounds here
after.
All the White Sox runs we're scored
in the seventh. Gandil hunted and
pulled UP at third. Danforth batted
for Weaver and was safe on Robert
sons tumble. Candil remaining at
third. Gleason batted for Schak and
was hit by pitched ball. Faber
walked, filing the bases. With four
men on, Able Collins singled over sec
ond and all five runs counted when
Tyrus Kauf heayed the ball into the
press box, wounding several Rats.
Milking Time Ends Battle

Z. Collins 20 Jackson 20 Felsch 70 Gan
dill to Weaver 70 Schalk 10 Benz. Arlie
Latham batted for Robertson and
struck out. No runs, one hit, two er.
rors.
The game was called at the end OF
the fifteenth, as il was milking time.
IL was given out by the National
Commission that the seventh game. i!
one is necessary, will be played in Der.
lin.
Players, magnates and Rodents will
start back 70 New York after the game
in Chicago Saturday on a special train
Tame Rodents will be permitted to
roam round the ears at will. Traps will
be provided for the wild ones.
The probable pitchers for tomorrow
are Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-13

the Sox are now carrying heavy bur-
den, where only four days ago they
were breezing into port with the vim
ners' end in easy reach.
SO far as the elastic and incompa-
rable dope is concerned, the Giants now
have the big edge all their way. They
have all the best Of the pitching, and
their confidence. ripped into shreds on
Sunday. has returned with a rush.
The Sox must win on Saturday with
Cicotte or they are doomed beyond de-
bate. II Cicotte is beaten on his ma
tive mound there will be very little left.
And even IL the Sox win on Saturday
they must still face better pitching at
the Polo Grounds on Monday, where
the series will almost certainly 60 TO
seven games.
A Different Machine
The Giants at the Polo Grounds
looked 70 be an entirely different ma
chine. Back home, working with high
class pitching, they rallied and proved
their class. They picked up terrific
impetus in those two New York con-
tests, and unless Cicotte is at his best
and the Sox machine is with him 20 a
jump, this Giant impetus is likely to
crash through again 70 third success
sive triumph.
You can enter this in your dope,
however. Both clubs, all through tho
year, have proved their gameness and
aggressiveness. Neither is liable 20
curl up and surrender without a bitter
struggle. The Sox are determined 20
regain their lost ground with a vic
torious counter charge, while tho
Giants, now fitted from the depths, are
equally determined 70 drive straight
through.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-13

The Sox still believe they can WIN with
Cicotte-that no ball club is going 70
beat their star in two straight starts
They are banking heavily on Cicotte 20
win his next two games. II the series
goes the seyen-game route, ss II very
likely will.
McGraw. now that Sallee, Benton and
Schupp have all turned III hawiess
pitching, naturally feels that he has all
the better of il with three stars 10
throw in against one. Cold weather on
Saturday may find Benton instead OF
Sallee working, but II conditions are
anywhere near right the Sheriff OF ing
ginsport will take another left-handed
shot at the South Side premier.
Another detail favoring the Giants IS
that Kauff and Zimmerman, McGraws
two main hitters, who were utterly sup
messed in the first three games, have
broken through at last and recalled
their wandering goats from the trail
Heinie and Bonnie have perked up
vastly since they left Chicago, and TINS
means more than trife for the Giant
attack.
Bill Rariden has also shown conclu-
sively that McCarty's absence was no
sort Of blow, as the veteran has been
at his best apparently just the quiet
unrufled and serene type needed TO
steady McGraw's pitching flock.
Neither Town Quitting
The two clubs reflect the battling
spirit Of the two big cities. New YORK
didn't quit on the Giants after two de-
feats, and Chicago hasn't quit on the
White Sox. Despite the double blow
back East several hundred fans
gathered at the station Friday and
waited in the cold and clammy drizzle
TO cheer up their returning clan. Most
Of the Sox had left the train at Engle-
wood. so the fanatics were forced TO be
content with observing the arrival Of a
large flack OF New o. Henrys, Modern
Marx Twains and Second Victor Hugos,
much 70 the aforesaid fanatics discon-
tent.
These fans indicated. howsoever. that
Chicago will be back OF their club IN
the fifth canto with all the aroused
loyalty there is to be found. They
have been jolted and rocked trihe IN

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-As each Of the
contending teams m the present world
series has proved that it is az its best
away from horne. the special train was
stopped a. cross roads near here TO-
day and the 9Th game played IN the
presence OF tho porters AID waters,
the baseball writer's. or. as Mr.. traZee
calls them. The Dirty Pats, and few

The consensus among the Urclean Ro-
dents was that the game wound up "a
to 2l2, 50 it will have 70 be replayed
tomorrow az Comiskey Park under
frigh:ful weather conditions.
Sox Helpless as Willard
Disregarling his usual custom, Man.
ager McGraw started leit-handed
pitcher. Hooks Wi.tse was his choice,
and this tremendous spltball artist had
the Sox standing on their fee, IN all
but nine innings. The big pug-nosed
blond was as wild as a prairie flower,
and most OF his pitches were caught
By First BasenGn Holke, but he in
proved in the pinches and hurled tow
ard the plate. When he did, the Sox
were as helpless as Jess willard. Only
en- several occasions were they able
to connect Tor two-base hits or better.
Opposed to Wiltse was Southpaw
Benz. 1t vas the little Frenchman's
first appearance in the series except as
a substitute runner for Buck Weaver
in the second game at New York. He
got away 20 q bad start, walking Burns,
herzog, Kaulf zimmerman, Fletcher,
Robertson, Holke. Bresnahan and
Wiltse in the initial inning. After that
ne settled down and struck out twenty
seven Giants, being particularly effec-
tive against the German element on
McGraw's club.
Benz's Pulling Delivery
Benz's most pulling delivery was
one that struck the ground ward in
front Of the plate. Sometimes il bound
ed high. sometimes II bounded low,
and sometimes it rolled. Neither the
New Workers nor Schalk could tell
