while he was not called on often, the followers of the Orange and Blue were well satisfied with his efforts in this line. On end runs he was most successful and time after time he would circle the sol diers for 15 to 20 yards per clip.
 Trapp, as safety man, was all that could be expected. He handled punts in safe manner and was generally good to bring them back for 15 yards. Con- sidering his experience, he Is wonder. The Tigers are expecting great deal from this freshman class star. Wild Bill Donahue, running the other half, did stellar work. He Is little, but fast, and every now and then he would be seen darting in and out between the big fellows only to be stopped on the second line of defense.
 The line reminds many old Auburn men of that of previous years. While inexperienced it Is heavy and anxious to learn. The line Is being nodded around Pete Bonner and Red Sizemore and 1t will be surprising if any of the Plains mems enemies are able 10 buck the ball over this line when within few feet of the goal.
 This weeks practice will be spent ir smoothing over the rough places and in perfecting the offense and defense of the aerial game. Next Saturday Auburn will take on Howard college and if Howard puts up such a game as she did against 1 Sewanee hard battle will be forthcom. | ing. Howard always has a fighting ! team and Mike Donahue will not leave 1 anything undone to perfect his team a. 1 far as possible

 Coach Raftery continues to maintain silence as to what the lineup will be, but the indications point to a fast back field, well suited to the open style of play. The team is being built around Pierotti and Larkin, the only remaining members of the 1916 team, supported by Atkins Bailey, Fain, and other of last years substitutes. A number of new men are also showing up in excellent form. among these being Moss, Raines Corbett and Silverstein, a former V. M. l. fullback.

Jupiter Pluuius HaLts Great Baseball Bat

New York october 9.--ln view or the Laan intersectional interest wnich surrounds the world series between the Na,v York Nationals and the Chicago Americans the records of the inter league contests of the past assume uh- usual prominence. Although so-calied world series were played as far pack as 1884, it was not until 1905 that the national commission took charge CT and promulgated rules for the annual autumn climax of the baseball season
 Since that year the winning ciuos in the American and National leagues have met each october to decide in a. series of the best four games out or seven which team should be entitled to the championship honors of the pro- fessionaI baseball world for the ensu- ing 12 months. Of the past 12 series which are now part of diamond his tory, the American league standard bearing clubs have won seven and their National league rivals five.
 During these series 66 games have been played, giving an average of five and half games per series includ- ing tie contests, of which there have been two. In games won the Ameri" can league leads with S3 to the Ma tionals 31, while of the 445 runs scored the National league clubs have &C., counted for 22S to the Americans 222. To Philadelphia falls the honor of be- ing represented in more series by pen nant winning clubs than any other city on either major league circuit. Out of the past 12 interleague contests Philadelphia has participated six times with Chicago next with five clubs, in : cluding the series of 1906 when the two Chicago teams fought out the question of supremacy between them selves each having won the pennant in their respective leagues. Boston and New York are tied with four each, while Detroit comes next with three and Pittsburg and Brooklyn complete the list with one apiece.
 The shortest series of the IF was that of 1914 when the Boston Nation als defeated the Philadelphia Ameri cans in four straight games. The Chi cago Nationals of 1907 also won four striaght from the Detroit Americans l but this run was preceded by tie game with the score standing, to when darkness halted the play. The ! longest series was that of 1912 in which eight games were played with 1 the Boston Americans winning four and the New York Nationals three with one tie game thgown in for good measure

There was evidence that the. game would have been attended by capac- ity crowd, for fully 15,000 spectators were in the Polo ground stands when the of ficial announcement of the postponement was made. The lines in front of the gates extended for several blocks when the ticket boxes were opened early in the forenoon, and the men and boys, many of whom had stood in line all night, filed into the grounds
 As usual every ticket sold today had a rain check attached, which will be good only for the third game of the series. Many of these found their way into the hands of spectators. In most cases the rain checks were sold at profit to the holders.
 RAIN FALLS AGAIN
 When the first squalI came the dia- mond was uncovered and the playing surface hard and fast, but so quickly did the rain fall that the base paths were heavy before the groundkeeper ana his helpers could spread the waterproor mats Tonight there was every indi- cation that the opening game here would bsrplayed under much the same surface conditions as prevailed last Saturday at Chicago.
 Under the ruling of the national com mission, the teams must remain in this city until two legal games have been played. If the clubs are able to resume their struggle here tomorrow and Thurs day and the Giants win one or both con- tests the teams will return to Chicago for single game there next Saturday, instead of Friday, as originally sched- uled. If a sixth game is necessary 10 decide the series the teams will leave Chicago Saturday or Sunday night and take up the play again at the Poio grounds the following Monday.
 Many close followers of baseball and the Giant adherents in particular ex- pressed the opinion that the delay of day or two would improve the chances Of the National league representatives. It was figured that the White Sox, be- cause of their double victory, had got the jump on the Giants, and that a break in the succession of games would afford the New York players chance to steady down and show to better advantage The New York fans are pulling hard for their favorites to win two straight on the home grounds. Many of them con- tend that If this does happen the Ma tionals will go to the front and win the series
