 In that time he poled out 26 hits, tseven of them doubles, and eight Etr1ples. The eight three-base swats treared him to the top of the triple kco1umn5 while the six .doubless raised shim considerably for the two-base Init honors-

Nationals Win From
 Strong Sokol Team

Before 1,500 excited fans the Ma tionals defeated the league leading Catholic Sol1ols yesterday by the score of to 3 at WheeIer's lot. Clancy, the National twfrler, practically won the game by his superb pitching, striking out B men and passing only one. This is a. remarkable feat against a team of the So3zols' caEibre who have been batting over 300 all season
 The Sokols broke the ice An the sec- ond dnning. Ba3kos singled, stole sec ond and scored Afiney's sinsle. In the third inning Nelson took first on four balls and stole second on a clean hit.

.SChUPP ABLE TO
 TWIRL BETTER IN
 CLOSE CONTESTS

t'If I can't win with five runs don't want to win,'' exclaimed Fer dinand Schupp one evening in Chiea- go after a hard losing battle with the Cubs. The Giants provided five runs for Schuppy that day. but he was of form and was beaten, 6 to 5. Six runs off Schupp are a rarity in any game in which he was not so palpa- bly, off as to be taken out early. It has been done only one other time this year. That was when the Reds beat the Giants, to 5. The Brook lyns made five runs once and won, 5 to 4.
 McGraw's slim sputfpawl is a tough bird for any opposing set of batsmen when he is on edge. and he generally is He is a cool kid, game, and keeps his boise. He likes a battle, and. while no<pi- cher wouldn't have velvet to work on rather than a close game to pitch all the way. Schupp is of such stuff that will produce the best goods in the hardest battles. He has shown that, beyond peradvezrture this season. 1t has been so in every gruelling game he's been ill, whether he won it or lost it.
 It has been the impression all sea- son that .Schupp hadn't the stamina to pitch as often as most pitchers, that he wasn't rugged enough for oftener than once every five days meaning four days between games was best for him. It may be, al- though he IS wiry if not brawny, but last week he pitched two games with but a days rest between with an ef- fectiveness which may be significant He pitched a good game against the Phillies on Wednesday and a better one on Friday. He showed his pluck by his fine work after a poor start.
 Sometimes he frets at an unpire's ruling on 8 pitched ball, but only fol moment He is too sensible and has feelings too well under control to let that sort of thing disturb him All of the New York pitchers are that way, and they have club associates who would improve by patterning af- ter them. Schupp's good work twice in three days if it indicates more ca. pacity for work than he was supposed to have, will increase his value as { possible inter-league factor.

BROOKLYN CLUB
 TRUE TO FORM
 AGAINST LOCALS
Ry iWagner.)

EDy IVY S1S ItCl.J
 The Brooklyn players, whose title as National league champions will ex- pire in a few weeks, ran true to form at Newf1eld park yesterday. They made a flock of base hits but didn't get anywhere with them. So Bridge I,ort took a victory by ? to 1 and the fading champions took a train back home. Dug Smith had the distinction of tearing off the big leaguers. Some times it looked as if Dug would get a spanking but he managed to escape by reason of good support. Martin, Priest, Lear and Corcoran all made good plays. AS Grimes left for his home Saturday, Lear moved to first, Corcoran to third and Mercer to right. Hank Bracket led the home boys at bat with two blows. Russell, a southpaw secured from the Northwestern league, flung 'e1n fof Brooklyn. He sbothered Bridgeport, although he was inclined to be wild
 Mack Wheat, brother of Outfelder l Zach Wheat, and Snyder did the catching. Snyder is a. former South ern leaguer who has been with the club for some time.
 Manager Robinson sent a strong club, comprising the men who have
 been playing regularly lately with the exception of Daubert. Jack Coombs.
 the veteran pitcher who gained fame with the Athletics before he joined
 Brooklyn's pitching staff, played first, and as he is more of a celebrity than Daubert the fans had no kick coming. Frank OrRourke, who graduated from l this city to the big league, was on third He made a couple of fancy as well <rathnrinOs a rpr1o and a pass.

 play for a, run in the fifth when Con-

 in the sixth.
 Tn the eighth Bridgeport filled the
 bases on Priests hit, Bracket hit by

MANY GAMES ON GRIDIRON LIST ARE
 SURE TO BE G0OD

New York, Sept. 10-The grey
 clouds of uncertainty which have
 overhung the Eastern college football
 situation for some months are gradu-
 ally being dispelled and present indi-
 cations forecast close to 80 per cent
 of the usual number of gridiron con-
 tests during the coming season. While
 the scheduling of games is still under
 way, in many cases the autumn card
 already presents several specially in-
 teresting matches, with the likelihood
 others will be added.
 With Cornell, Pennsylvania. Dart
 mouth, Navy, Army, Colgate, Syra-
 cuse, Pittsburgh, Swarthmore. Penn
 State. Brown, Washington and Jeffer-
 son, Carlisle. Springfield and Coium-
 bia gathering about the football standards there is every reason for
 predicting a continuance of the game as would not have have been dream ed of early in. the spring. There will be lacking, of course, the usual cll- max to the Eastern play, owing to the absence of the annual Yale-Harvards Princeton-Yale and Army-Navy con. tests. As war time substitutes, how- ever the .Pennsylvania-Dartm Cornell-Pennsylvani Syracuse-Col. gate Pennsylvania-Michig Syra. cuse- Brown, Pittsburgh 4Pennsylvani Cornell Colgate, Rutgers Syracuse and similar contests will serve ad- mirably.
 There will not be as many inter- sectional games in recent years but even in this department of the sea- sons schedule few fixtures will pre- vail. Both Pennsy1vania> and Cornell oI,f- s< is barely possible that the Army may
 be seen in it's annual match with Notre Dame. This contest was ar ranged last winter but when the Army announced that all the Cadet football games were off, it's opponents
 began to arrange for other contests to fill their open dates The eleventh hour decision of the Army to continue football will make it difficult for the Soldiers to restore their schedule to it's original form. Whether Notre Dame can give the Cadets the date. formerly set for this game at West Point remains to be seen. This con- test is always one of the features of l the season and it's continuation, if possible, is earnestly to be desired Under the regulations governing | the Worlds Series no player of either: competing club is eligible Tor the series who was not a membeT of the squad on August 3l last, precedingi l the championship games.S It is prob
 able that an exception may be madel this season by the National Coznznis- q sion due to the possibility of the 1osss
 by army draft, of one or more play
 CTS. Report has it that the date may
 be fixed at or about Sept. Is.

kRICHELL CAN HAVE JOB
 OF MANAGING CLUB IN 1918
Makes Good Agreement to Finish in First Division Other Sporting Comment

High school star and later a member of the Bridgeport baseball club, bob bed up in New Haven yesterday as umpire in the game between the Co., lonials and New Haven Eastern leaguers. Foster has been acting as a physical director of a prep school in Pennsylvania and was visiting in New Haven before returning to his Job. The best fielding play in yesterdays Bridgeport-Brooklgn game took place in the seventh and King Lear was the hero. Olson hit to Corcoran and the veteran made a high throw. Lear had to go away up to get the ball and then he was off the bag but he made a dive at the runner and just touched him for the out. AS he walked back to the bench Lear modestly hid his bushes behind a chew of tobacco.
 The New Haven Eastern champions beat the crack Colonials of New Ha- ven before a large crowd at Light house Point yesterday by to 0. Nay Tor held the Colonials to one hit and famed nine.
 Outfielder Johnston of the Brook 1yn club, is one of the fastest men in the National league. He displayed some speed to the fans at Newfield by galloping around the bases on a triple, double and two singles.
 It is to be hoped that Catcher Charley Connolly will be back with Bridgeport again next season. Con-
 
 around qualifications Connolly is one of the best backstops Bridgeport has had in years. He turned back three Brooklynites who tried to steal yes terday. If the Americans had secur- ed Connolly earlier in the season the club would have finished higher.

IS
Held TO FACE
HIGHER COURT
Fargo Realty Man Will Be
Tried for Alleged Embez-
Element of 5000 =

l.. B. Mathiesen, Fargo real estate
dealer, arrested a week ago this aft
ernoon by the sheri@ of Cass county,
charged with the embezzlement Of
$500, was bound over to the district
court following his preliminary hear
ing before Judge Roberts late Tues
day afternoon. The hearing lasted
three days. Bail was fixed at $1,000,
which he has not furnished.
The complaining witness in the
case is Carrie Hackett, formerly a
resident of Abercrombie, N. d., but
now of Fargo, who alleged. that the
amount was fraudulently appropriat-
ed to his own personal use.
The embezzlement charge grows
out Of land transaction. Mathie-
sen, who has been a resident of
Fargo for several months, and has
been staying at one of the hotels,
recently made a trade of some
property in northern Minnesota for
land owned by Mrs. Hackett and
which was clear of encumbrance.
According to the complaint his
property was mortgaged to the
amount Of $500 and he Is said to
have agreed that he would make the
deal on equal terms, that the prop
erty in each case would be free of
Indebtedness. Upon coming into
possession Of her property a year
ago this fall he made a loan for ST.
900 and then failed to abide by his
agreement to make the land he trad
ed to her clear, the state charges.

THE GARRICK

Margaret Ellington, the distinguish
ed star of the speaking stage, will
make her debut on the photodramatic
screen in the gripping and vivid
drama, Sacrifice, written especially
for. her by Charles Kenyon and pre-
pared for the screen by Beatrice C.
De Mile and Leighton Osmun.
Sacrifice is a Lasky- Paramount pic
ture which will be the attraction at
the Garrick today and tomorrow.
An unusual incident is in the fact
that Miss IllingtonN will make her
screen debut in a story by the same
author in whose play, Kindling, she
scored her greatest dramatic
triumph. AS soon as the story Sacri-
flee appears on the screen, Mr.. Ken
yon will prepare a version of 1t for
the speaking stage.
Ever since her first appearance be-
fore the footlights, Miss Ellington has
been one Of the most distinguished
and popular stars on the American
stage. Her wonderful performance
in The Thief, which ran for over a
year in New York city, established
Miss Ellington as one of the country's
most successful emotional actresses.
Later. she repeated her success in
Kindling, which was hailed by all as
one OF the most unusual and appeal
ing plays of the decade.

successor to Col. Frank White Of
the Second regiment; the resignation
of F. L. McYey, who leaves the uni

may be confronted with another efl

ton to gain control, by seating
Frazier appointees in place OF Emil
Scow of Bowman and j. A. Power
OF Leonard. The terms Of these two
members expired July 1, but they

can be taken Friday with relation to

TEST SUNDAY
SHOOTING ACT
IN FARGO CASE
Prosecution Opens Way to
Determine Rights of
Sunday Huntsmen

!, Proceedings entirely agreeable to
both sides were heard in the district
court before Judge A. T. Cole this
morning in the case OF the state
against A. F. Davis Of Fargo, charged
with violation Of the state law
against hunting on Sunday.
/ The case is In the nature of test
of right to hunt on the Sabbath, the
aim being to get a judicial determi-
nation as to the legality OF the law.
The defendant was represented by
Attorney Seth Richardson Of Fargo.
and the state by Assistant States
Attorney William G. Green. Appli-
cation for the appeal will now be
made Immediately in order to get
the opinion from the higher tribunal
by Sept. Is. the date for the opening
of the chicken season in North Da
kota. E17.
The case was submitted to Judge
Cole formally this morning with the
understanding that the defendant
and those who made up the party
were guilty. The crime is alleged to
have been committed on Sunday,
May 81. when Davis with his party
were caught hunting and shooting at
crows. Davis, according to the in
formation, had a hunting permit in
MS possession Wnlcn was issued IN
accordance with the state law.
The information was filed before
Judge E. F. Miller and the defendant
was arrested and held to the district
court on his own recognizance. In
the district court this morning, the
defendant through Attorney Seth
Richardson demurred to the infor-
nation, which demurrer the court
overruled. Assistant States Attor-
ney William G. Green moved for the
Rrraignment of the defendant, with
the result that both counsel stipulat-
ed the facts in the case and waived
the reading of the information.
Judge Cole found the defendant
guilty, whereupon the counsel for the
defendant filed a motion in arrest of
Judgment, which the court denied.
Thereupon the defense gave notice
Of an appeal from the courts order
denying the arrest Of judgment.
Passing of sentence was staid until
the determination of the appeal.
The case is of importance to every
hunter in the state in the fact that
1t was recently announced that hunt
ing on Sunday was illegal and that
all cases would be prosecuted. 1t
was stated that the attorney general
had directed such information to the
game wardens. Later, Attorney
General LANCER denied this, saying
such cases rested with the states
attorneys ...
