USAACS" PLAN BIG THINGS FOR SATURDAYS FOOTBALL BATTLE
WELLYS 3 CORNER

According to reports races at near
by fairs have not been up to the
standard this year. 1t is the gen.
eral belief that the purses are too
small 1t is rather expensive for
an owner to enter series of races
and get nothing, even when they
win.
Hitters like Benny Kauff. show
ing records all season, and then fall
ing down in worlds series, is rath
er disappointing. However, it must
not be overlooked that Kauff and
McGraw had a tilt, and the crack
hitter has not done anything since.
Managers sometimes put a good play
er out of business by Using unfair
tactics.
When the mayor of Milwaukee,
heading a delegation from that CITY
TO Chicago last Saturday, presented
Hap Felsch with a diamond pin
before the game, he said: Sonny.
we are just letting you take this pin.
If you don't hit a home run to-day
We'll return for it," "Zatso," ans
wered Hap" The mayor of Mil
waukee and the visiting. delegation
did not return.

Lehigh in Good Shape
For Pittsburgh Game

Bethlehem, Oct. IL Twenty
members of the Lehigh University
football squad. accompanied by
Coach ]. Thomas Ready and Prof.
II. r. Reiter, will leave tonight for
Pittsburgh. The physical condition
of the varsity men is good and Lee
highs full strength will be repre-
sented against the University of
Pittsburgh on Saturday except for
Mccarthy. the star end, who had an
ankle twisted in the opening game
of the season.
While not over confident, the Le-
high forces expect to make a credit
able showing. The brown and white
eleven is strong defensively and is
altogether a more powerful aggre-
cation than the small scores in the
Seventh Infantry and Ursinus games
would indicate.
The practice in Taylor stadium
this afternoon was restricted to sig
nal and kickoff formations. No trick
or unusual plays have been worked
up. Straight hard football is the or
der for Saturday, as issued by Coach
Keady,

RuBE, BENTON o.
Giants reached him for eight hits,
went out sixteen times on fielding
plays, and j. Collins two errors on
Kauff's drives account for the re-
mainder.
While there was little if-any ad-
vantage between the two pitchers, it
appeared to many as though Benton
had more on the ball than Cicotte.
His delivery came up with wide,
sweeping curves or broke with al
most right angle slants, which had
the White SoX missing or popping
up most of the time. The Chicago
twirler varied his pitching to a
greater extent than Benton and his
control was as perfect as usual. To
those who saw him work in the first
contest, it appeared as though he
did not have as sharp a curve or
break as on Saturday, when he turn
ed back the Giants with. seven hits
and one run. His record yesterday
was eight hits and two runs.
Cicotte famed eight Giants to
Benton's five. Burns, Holke and
Benton all fell twice before the Chi
cago hurler's slants, while Bentons
only double strike-out victim was
Cicotte. The New York team had
twice as many runners stranded on
the bases as the White SoX, the
count being 8 to 4.

Two important divisions of the
Army will invade Harrisburg Satur-
day. Yes, there will be a battle, but
no bombs will be. thrown. The
Usaacs (meaning the United States
Ambulance Corps), will send in Il
football team against an eleven rep
resenting the Officers Association of
Gettysburg. Some battle may be eX-
pected. Furthermore that is not all.
The Central High school eleven will
meet Wilkes-Barre High. More do
ing.
New York Giants came back strong
yesterday. "Muggsy" McGraw SIM
ply gave his aggregation to under
stand that the Giants were in the
game to win. He may be rather
rough in his manners when giving
orders to players, but he gets the re-
suits. Another victory for the Giants
would make the series interesting.
When Tech goes to Easton Sat
urday the local team expects to have
every regular in good shape. Easton
is one foe that must be conquered
this season. Tech and Easton High
will play early in the afternoon. Then
both teams will be guests of the La
fayette management at the game
with Ursinus.

DAVE RoBER TSON

New York, Oct. II. - Fate was
paging ''Davy" Robertson yesterday
in the fourth, dangling her laurel
wreath before him. Reckless of life
and limb, he scampered toward the
grandstand wall to get under that
wicked smash. The ball bell ten
feet short of entering the grandstand
and Robbie's eager fingers closed
round it desperately. One stl de
more and he crashed into the solid
board barrier, yet holding the ball
like true son of fame That made
three out and brought forth the first
real cheer of the series from New
York throats-for Felsch would GER

But for New York better even than
that was about to transpire, and it
was Robertson who rode right along
on the crest of fortunes billow. APP

he trotted to the Giant dugout amid
the multitude's tumultuous approval

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson turned his

The ball dropped beyond his out

roar of the season rose from the
rings of humanity girdling the field.
Robertson raced round the bases
while "Shoeless" Joseph scrambled
after the ball. Robertson slid to

could have been three steps past

Central High Shakeup

Coach Paul Smith, of Central. has
made good his promise to shake
things up. He has shifted Goodill,
who had been playing left halfback
to guard. 1t looks as if Goodill would
make a better lineman than a back
He is quick and has speed and can
rip holes in the scrub line or break
through and spoil plays.
Smith or Rodgers will probably
take Goodill's place at half. Both
OF these boys are fast and can handle
the pigskin well. They are both good
on the defense and are quick to
diagnose plays. Coach Smith has not
decided who will play.
Roeder, the husky tackle, will
most likely be in Saturdays game
and his presence will greatly
strengthen the line. If Roeder gets in
the game Good will play either guard
or center. If Good plays center
Rose, King, Gardner or Compton
will play the other guard position.

BIG GAME PLANS
PLEASE USAACS:
TEAMS In FORM

Allentown, Pa, Oct. 11.-Hhere is
patriotic spirit of the students of the
Harrisburg High School That is
the verdict of the men at the United
States Army Ambulance Service
here to-day, following the an
nouncernent by the Executive Com
mittee for General Athletics that
the youth of Harrisburg has volun-
tarily shifted the time of its big
game with Wilkes Barre High School
from 8 o'clock back to 1.30 in the
afternoon of Saturday, in order that
the u. S. Ambulance eleven from
Allentown may wage battle with the
Officers team of the Seventh In
fantry on the upper Island Field.
Saturdays battle will undoubtedly
prove one of the greatest contests of
the fall. The Ambulance Camp men
have been working like Trojans dur
ing this week, strengthening their
offensive and defensive tactics.
Coach Price has been driving the
squad pcrsistently against the dunn
my in order to improve their tack
ling, and yesterday held the first
and second elevens down to lively
scrimmage, which proved to be the
most promising held thus far.
Cramer, the phenomenal half
back who kept Fordham on bed
Of Trocrustes during the contest
last week, is displaying undeniable
improvement in his methods of line
attack. The gigantic plunger will
constitute a dangerous adversary for
the Officers eleven.

bad knee, was back on the squad

Fifteen feet or more toward the
foul line nothing could have kept
the ball out of the stands. At Phila-
delphia it would have cleared the
fence at the flagpole with lots to
spare. 1t was an epic smash.
Amid the long drawn-ou bedlam,
young Holke came to bat nervously.
McGraw called him away from the
plate and gave him his orders. He
struck his bat at Cicotte's first pitch,
but it was a low twister and eluded
the stick struck at it. The SoX in
field was close in and Robertson hus-
tied back to third before McMullin
could cover the bag for a throw from
Schalk Having failed on the bunt,
Holke swung at the next pitch and
shot a short, hard fly to left field.
John Collins galloped in to retrieve
his lost prestige, but the ball dipped
to earth ten feet in front of him
and hoped obliquely away from
him.
First Run Scored
1t counted a double for Holke and
many hats scared aloft as Robertson
crossed the plate amid thunderous
applause. Rariden dumped down a
punt ana ClcOtte tossed him out at
first, Holke moving to third. Ben
ton had only to hit it somewhere for
chance to gain another run, but
he swung wildly at Cicotte's first two
pitches and watched the third shoot
past his knees for q strikeout. The
White SoX infield receded to it's regu-
lar formation and George Burns, af-
ter fouling off the first pitch and
watching three bad ones go by, roll
ed a weak grounder towards third.
The thick grass held back the ball
and when Cicotte got hold of the ball
Burns was nearly at first and Holks
was across the plate. Cicotte hurled
the ball desperately toward first, but
it shot past Gandil and hit the grand
stand, Burns taking second c
Bedlam was still loose, but Chi
cago showed it's caliber by calmly
facing the issue WITHOUT straipinE
muscle. "Chick" Gandil raced over
and with his gloved hand picked
Herzog's foul almost literally out OF
the grandstand, a catch that classed
with Robertsons spectacular catch.

victory yesterday, John c. (Rube)
Benton was the first pitcher to hurl

since 1914. Bill James blanked the
Athletics in the second game of the
1914 tiff with Boston in Philadelphia,
when he held the Mackmen to two
hits and beat Eddie Plank in a 10
game, and that shutout held supreme
as a pitchers scoreless feat in the
big classis until Benton came across

wonderful at times and the SoX's
heavy hitters were at his mercy
throughout.
AS was the case in the to win

forced to deliver more balls than his
defeated rival. Benton yesterday
pitched a total of 107 balls to Ci-
