/, Eastern college football teams ap- parently reached the zenith of their Gridiron form in Saturdays games AL most without exception the elevens battled true to the standards expect ed. Not in many seasons had there
 been day when overwhelming scores
 were so prevalent. In twenty games, selected almost at random, the com-
 67S to the losers 54.
 @ Two games stand out in this riot of
 scoring with startling vividness owing
 to the closeness of the struggles-the
 Pennsylvania-D contest and
 the Pittsburgh Washington and Jeff
 ferson game. Pennsylvania fought
 Dartmouth to standstiH and won in
 the closing period of play by de-
 termined attack which the tired Han-
 over eleven could not stem. As usual,
 Howard Berry was the scoring fac
 tor; but considered as a whole. Penn sylvania team outplayed their oppon- ents. The Quaker offensive was bet
 ter sustained and more varied than that of Dartmouth and the latter eleven could neither break I'D the Pennsylvania passing game nor make consistent gains against the red and blue demence when in possession of the ball.
 Pittsburgh and Washington and Jef- ferson had a hammer and tongs battle in which both elevens displayed re- marlzabIe football and playing spirit. The Partners finally won by the mar row margin of three points but the game was in doubt until the end. Both teams showed sensational streaks of offers sive and defensive work but the efforts of the Pittsburghers were bet ter sustained and this was the win nor factor. Considered broadly, it was loose ball game, forward, lateral and double passes being frequent and resulting in long gains. The Panth- ers' attack was more varied and de- ceptive than that of the Washington and Jefferson, but the defensive strength of the latter team, at critical moments nu1lif1ed much of the power of Pittsburgh. McCreight and Me Laren were the individual stars of the game, which was one of the very best of the entire season, view from every angle of modern football.
 The Army and Navy emerged vic tors in their respective contests, the Soldiers defeating the Carlisle Indi- afs rather easily in a game :n which O1iphant and Knight starred with a great exhibition of team work and open field aprints for touchdowns. put up stronger battle against the Middies but the all-round power and ability of the sailors was too big to be overcome.

Absence of untoward foreign de- velopments over the week end, more encouraging domestic industrial ad vices and the extent of the short in- terest' were factors of varying inpor- tance in the early improvement.
 Over three score of the more prom inent rails. industrials, shippings and specialt1es were comprehended in the days dealings the market making up in breadth what it lacked in activity.

PLAYERS IN BIG SERIES
 GET LARGE RETURNS
Jack Barry Heads List With $17,e37
 Collected In Six Contests.

Some idea of the amount of money that. falls to the share of a big league baseball player. who is fortunate enough to participate in several World Series. can be gained from a recent compilation showing the winnings of various players who have figured in such post-season contests in the past few years. Jack Barry leads the list with $17,937, as a result of his. partic- ipation in six series. Eddie Collins, who has also figured in an equal num- Der of world championship contests, as member of the Philadelphia Ath- letics or the Chicago White Sox, is second, having amassed $14 5S0.
 Jack CoombS has collected SIS 627; Chief Bender. $11.743; Eddie Plank a like sum; and Johnny Evers, $7,9S3. This quarttt of players figured in five series. Amos Strunk John MoInnis and Frank Baker played in four series while members of the Philadel- phia Americans, and their reward was $10,911 each. All things considered Larry Gardner, Forest Cady. Harry Hooper and Duffy Lewis of the Bos- ton Red Sox probably hold the record as each of them won $11 05O, by play ing in three series. Christy Mathew son collected $9 525 in the form of ex- , tra dividends while a member of the New York Giants. Charley Herzog and Arthur Fletcher came in for 'S9713 due to their membership in the same team. Chief" Myers, Rube Marquard and Fred Merlxle won $9,3S1 while playing for the Giants and the Brooklyn Nationals.

YALE SOCCER TEAM OPENS SEASON.
Defeated by Penn to the Tune of
 20.

The Yale soccer team opened it's season auspiciously at the Yale soccer field Saturday afternoon when it held the strong combination representing the University of Pennsylvania to a 2 to 0 victory. This is an especially fine showing for the Eli men when it is taken into consideration that the Pennsylvania men have played in five games to date and has lost only one. Cornell, which is represented by a fine team this year; the Marion and Philadelphia Cricket clubs and Nor ristown teams have all bowed before which almost annually wins the col- legiate title, was the only one to de- feat it.
 The Yale men, on the other hand, have had only three practices so far this season and were further handi- capped by the loss of Captain Wood of last years team. G. s. Haskell, how ever. who is acting as captain, led his team in fine style and many times had the visiting goal tender quite busy. The chief weakness in the play of the Yale men was their defensive work, which was not up to the standard at times.
 The visitors presented a well round- ed team and showed the result of long training and experience. Binns, out side right, and Captain Nassau. center, were especially brilliant performers and they were continually peppering the Yale goal keeper with well direct ed shots. Both of these men scored for before the Yale goal. Yale directed a number of clean shots at the visitors goal but Barba repelled each attack successfully.

 Western Football.
 The powerful Ohio State football eleven is within striking distance of it's second successive western confer ence championship. The Buckeyes continued their unchecked drive yes terday, crushing Wisconsin 16 to 3, and will meet the undefeated Illinois team at Colburn the next Saturday in a game to probably decide the 1917 honors of the big ten. Michigan, ad- mitted to be a power, is not regarded as a contender for the championship as it has only one conference game scheduled.
 Considering comparative scores, the critics favor Ohio as title winner The Buckeyes rolled up larger score against Wisconsin than did Illinois which defeated the Badgers to O. In six games the Ohio team has scored 251 points while its opponents regis

modore John c. Stevens of the New York Yacht Club, in her memorial race off CoweS, Isle of Wight in 1851. The Americas Cup. which has since be- come the greatest sporting trophy of the world, was won by the America in a race against the leading yachts of England in which the American entry finished first and the others nowhere.
 Soon after this remarkable showing Lord de Blaquiere purchased the America and later sold her to Lord Templeton. The latter sunk the yacht in an accident on the Tahmes and after the boat had laid partly sub merged for so long that a portion of her timbers routed. she was purchased by a shipbuilding firm of the name of Pritchard. The yacht was rebuilt and next came into prominence as a block ade runner during the Civil War. In one of her trips she was scuttled to by a Union g-1nboat. the America was raised and used by the navy.
 Following the close of the war the America was put up at public auction and purchased. by Gen. B. F. Butler. who enerted her in several racing events with but indifferent success and eventually h usd the yacht for cruis- ing. For some years she has been berthed in Boston and several times reported to be scrapped. At present the America is in tn hands of a syndi- cate of Eastern Yacht Club members who are apparently willing to sell the America to Sir Thomas Lipton, pro viding he will agree to preserve the yacht which was the origina lwinner of the trophy that now bears her name.

 Confidence Growing Stronger.
 Confidence is stronger than ever among officials and diplomats that the Bolsheviki soon will be driven out of control at Petrograd and that in time a government really representative of Russia's aspirations will take the reins with a frmer grip than the Kerensky regime was able to establish.
 It is predicted that while Premier Kerensky will continue to be one of the chief figures in the reorganized ministry, he will not again exercise the almost dictatorial powers he as stunned when he became commander in-chief Of the army.
