THE ORIOLES OF 1896

Toe Corbett, brother of ''Pompa- dour Jim," who was then heavyweight champion of the world, was a mem- ber of the twirling staff of the Balti- more Orioles in 1896, when that peer less organization played Cleveland for the worlds championship. John McGraw and Robinson had brought their wonderful inside baseball to a state of perfection, and the Orioles had no trouble in taking all four games of the series from the Cleve- land Spiders. Joe Corbett and Hoff- er,-the last named had lost both games he had pitched in the series against Cleveland the previous year twirled Baltimore to victory. Old Cy Young, together with Robbie Wal lace and Cuppy, pitched good ball, but were powerless against what most ex- i perts agree was the crack nine of the century.
 I Baltimore's fourth try for the worlds flag, and the second victory for the Orioles, came in 1897, when Boston had the losing end of the ar gument. With Charlie Nichols in the box, Boston took the initial contest
 
 but the rejoicing in the Hub turned to bitterness when Baltimore took the four remaining games. Ifoffei pitched two of the winning contests for the Orioles, while Corbett and Jerry Hops each took one. That was the last appearance of the Orioles 1T a worlds series, as it was the ina contest for the Temple Cup. Tht fans had to get along without z worlds series until 1903. Baseball warfare ragged furiously for severa
 years between the National and tn,
 new American League, formed il
 1900, but in 1908, having tired of tn ? fighting, peace was declared betweel
 the rival leagues and in that year tn
 first worlds series in which tn American League was represented
 was played.

Amateur Cueists Play
 Many Close Matches

New York, Oct 9-A peculiarity of the second nights play in the novice straight rail tourney of the National Association of Amateur Billiard Play CTS was that the final scores in two games at widely separated rooms were exactly the same. J. F. Blaisdell defeated E. G. McGiu in Lawler's room in Brooklyn by 100 to 97 in a stubbornly fought game.
 A. Wickers, playing against H.. Matty in Gruhn's room in upper Man hattan, won by the same score in a game in which the contestants never were more than six points apart.
 The Brooklyn players, however. had the better of it In the matter of aver ages and high runs, Blaisdell and Nc Gill each averaging more than 3 and BlaisdelI making a high run of 29.
 Judged from the scores or the games so far played in this tournament, the field is particularly well matched, and there promises to be many nip and tuck battle before the finalists are se- lected. The scores:

PLAY FOR INDOOR
 TENNIS TITLE ID
 BEGIN MARCH 29
Galaxy of Stars Will Per form in Net Game At
 Seventh Regiment.

New York. Oct. 9-Just to show that he believes in sports as a war time necessity Col. De Witt c. Falls or the 7th Regiment has taken a most active part in booming the indoor lawn tennis game upon the courts of the armory for the coming winter More than that, 1t was announced of ficially yesterday that Col. Falls had joined the 7th Regiment Lawn Tennis club and would be a competitor in some of the events. Gen Daniel Ap- pleton, at the time he was Colonel of the command, was one of the staunch- est of supporters of activities upon the indoor courts.
 Informally at a session held yester- day the programme for the coming season was outlined. The amazing change of date as to the holding of the mems national championship tournament which was made last sea- son will be followed again. The mark ed success that attended the deciding of the title at a date late in March instead of the heretofore early date in February seems to justify the change of dates. The championship Ii Regiment by the United States Ma | tional Lawn Tennis Association, and play for the title will begin on March 29, 1919.
 William Cunningham, who has been acting as Secretary of the club, has shown marked efficiency in ar ranging all the details for the season on the indoor courts. Aware that lawn | tennis balls would be at a premium, perhaps worth as much as a dollar each before another year, he has ] stocked a supply that ought to serve as ammunition for many months. He has also had the twelve nets put in top condition. Cunningham has put in bid for Jimmy Burns to act again as professional for the 7th Regiment club. He admitted that this was not likely to operate successfully as Burns | is expected to hold the place on the squash courts of the Harvard club during the coming indoor season.
 The annual meeting of the 7th Regiment club is to be held the last of the week and it is expected that A. Castle Postley will be elected pres ident to succeed King Smith, who is now in France with the Y. M. c. A. | There will be no changes in the other 1 officers, Julian s. Myrick remaining ! as vice president; W. Dickson Gun l ningham as Secretary and Theodore A. Bruno as treasurer. Among those | talked of for the Board of Governors are H. W. Houghton, Harold Moore,
 Jr., Fred B. Acker, Corry Ammer- man and s. R. McAllister as captain.
 Col. Falls has appointed Saturday,
 Oct. 19, as a special Liberty Bond
 drive exhibition for the 7th Regi-
 ment Lawn Tennis club. He is en-
 listing the services of famous players
 for special matches, including Miss
 Molla Bjurstedt, Fred B. Alexander
 Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Marie Wag-
 ner, Vincent Richards, Allen Behr and i others.

MORAN-CoWLER BATTLE.

Frank Moran knocked out Tom Cowler in the sixth round at London several years ago today. This was the first important bout of the big Englishnan, who was announced as a discovery of Jim Corbetts, and about whom "Gentleman Jim" was wildly enthusiastic until Cowler met Gunboat Smith. Although the Gun boat was unable to knock Cowler out, he clearly outpointed him, and the big crowd was greatly disappointed with the showing of Corbett's find. When Cowler fought Frank Moran seven years ago today the Pittsburgh boxer found him easy. After his de- feat by Moran, Cowler came to Amer ica and Corbett picked him Up In Portland, Ore, and took him to Aus tralia. Cowler found the Australian heavyweights easy marks and came back to Yankeeland to "clean up," in which undertaking he did not have very much success.

Western Football Card
 Is Again Revised

Chicago, Oct. 9-Football schedules of the Big Ten" were revised at a meeting of the coaches and athletic directors yesterday to conform with the War Department ruling limiting teams to two 4s-hour trips next month. All games previously schedul- ed for October were cancelled so the Western Conference championship will be confined to November.
 The season will open on Nov. 2 and close on Nov. 30, the Saturday fol- lowing Thanksgiving, instead of the preceding Saturday, as has been the conference rule. None of the coaches Day games with conference elevens, but as holiday football always has been a big attraction in the middle West some of the colleges undoubtedly will arrange games with service teams.
 Chicago arranged the heaviest schedule, of five games. Michigan scheduled four, and in addition may meet Syra cuse at Ann Arbor on Nov. 16, week before the clash with Min nesota. The Wolverines will signalize their return to the conference by meeting Northwestern, Chicago, Min nesota and Ohio State in the order named.
 Indiana was unfortunate in arrang- ing a new program, as Coach Stelhm was unable to schedule a single con test within the conference. The games with Minnesota and Iowa were called off because it was impossible to make the trips within the AS hour limit. The revised schedules follow:
 Saturday, Nov. 2-1owa vs. Illinois, at Urbana; Northwestern vs. Michi- gan, at Ann Arbor; Purdue vs. Chi cago, at Chicago.
 Saturday, Nov. 9-Illinois vs. Wis consin, at Madison; Michigan vs. Chi cago at Chica go; Minnesota vs. Iowa, at Iowa.
 Saturday, Nov. 16-Ohio vs. Illinois, at Urbana; Wisconsin vs. Minnesota, at Minneapolis; Chicago vs. North western, at Chicago.
 Saturday, Nov. 23-Illinois vs. Chi cago, at Chicago; Minnesota vs. Mich igan, at Ann Arbor; Wisconsin vs Ohio, at Columbus.
 Saturday, Nov. 30-Ohio vs. Michi- gan, at either Columbus or Ann Ar bor; Minnesota vs. Chicago, at Chi cago.

 The result was attained by the strtv- ing of the mills to continue breaking the record established in the preced- ing week. The effort to attain maxi mum production was made in response to an appeal from the War Industries Board, and has been continuously ex- erted for two months.

U. S. Steel's Output
 of IngOts 100 Per Cent.

New York, Oct. s-For the first time in it's history, the ingot produc- tion of the United States Steel Cor poration last week equalled 100 per cent. of the capacity of the plants of it's subsidiaries. This remarkable achievement was made public in a statement issued by E. H. Gary, chair man of the board, following the weekly meeting yesterday of the fi-. nance committee of the corporation. Pig iron production also showed an in- crease, but failed to rise above 93 per cent. of the capacity of the fur naces.
 Week before last the corporation es- abolished a new record when 1t pro- duced ingots at the rate of 97.S of capacity. This result was hailed as the probable limit of production, and considerable surprise was occasioned in the steel circles yesterday when 1t was announced that the full capacity of the plants had been attained. Un- der normal conditions 95 per cent. of
