pitfalls and other military quarters, where
the soldiers all displayed great interest
in the struggle.
The play by innings also was flashed
to battleships in the harbor and by them
sent by wireless to other warships at
distant points, SO that the news Of the
first game between the Reds and Sox
girdled the earth.
In the cafes and hotels uptown there
was last evening constant buzz Of
comment on the game, and those who
had wagered on the Sox showed a dis
position to hedge. Even money Was
quoted on the result and the Red rooters
were eager to speculate on that basis.
The telephones in THF' Sun and THE
EVENING Sun offices were swamped yes
terday afternoon between the hours of
three and Ave o'clock by calls from per-
sons inquiring about the series. Many
forgot the difference in time between
here and Cincinnati and began calling
at two o'clock Many of these seemed
to think that the operators were kidding
them and insisted that surely the game
must have started. On account of the
rain here numerous inquiries were made
as to whether or not the game would
be played. thinking the elements In Gin
cinnati might be in sympathy.

CORNELL VARSITY
ROUTS RESERVES
Olney Rips Scrub Line for
Winning Touchdown.
Special Despatch TO TIE Sun.

ITHACA, Oct. AFTER a long line
scrimmage on the upper field to-day,
during which Capt. Shiverick essayed
number of goals from the field, the
Cornell teams transferred their activi-
ties to the stadium and the first eleven
gave a good exhibition of advancing the
ball, going from it's forty yard line
straight down the field for a score.
Davies, Olney and Shiverick made
most OF the gains, and Olney went over
for the tally. The first team was
strengthened in the middle of the line
when Paul Miller. veteran guard OF the
rs and '16 teams, played for the first
time and Pendleton, the powerful guard
from the 1917 varsity, was moved up to
the first team from the scrubs. Two
other changes In the first team lineup
were noticed, Cunneen playing left end
and Baugher going in at fullback These
shifts, however. are not regarded as
final, but In accordance with the Rush
policy of giving every good man
chance to show.
The varsity line material was
strengthened to-day by the arrival of
Swanson, who played a guard on the
1877 team Competition for players In
the rush line Is growing keener. The
field Is open and not a man Is sure of
his place. II is recognized at the field
that CorDells chances this year depend
largely on the success the coaches have

COLUMBIA ELEVEN
PLAYS "MUDBALL"
Dawson Does Not Stop Work,
Despite Rainy Day.

DeapIte the driving rain and the water
soaked field Coach Dawson had his
squad out yesterday afternoon and nut
the men through a session of 'lnudball. :"
Two elevens went through a long signal
practice and the main idea of the work
out was TO give the squad practice in
handling and holding on to wet,
slippery ball.
Before taking the field. Dawson held
the FIRST long skull practice" of the
season. Only fundamentals were dts
cussed and emphasis again was on the
line, together with drill on the simpler
plays.
Columbia's football stock went up yes
terday when Jack Kennedy, captain
elect of the 1917 eleven, returned 10 the
squad and resumed his old place at
end. Kennedy had been out for several
DAYS with a bad side and his return,
has bolstered the lineup considerably.
Gus Peterson. Columbia's veteran trainer
and wrestling coach, said that Canap .ry
would be ready for work to-day. He,
too, has been out for some time with
an injured shoulder.
At a meeting of all football &C. men
this afternoon the 1919 captain will be
elected. There was no freshman prac-
tice yesterday.

BETTING ON EVEN TERMS.
odds shift as Result of Reds
Victory.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. Oct. AFTER ruling
fayorites before the start OF to-day's
game, the White Sox were no better than
even money in the betting on the world s
series here tonight Several wagers
ranging from $500 to $4,000 were made
on to-day's contest at to and to 8.
Previous to the opening game odds were
given that the White Sox would win the
series.
Scalpers reaped a rich harvest selling
tickets for the opening contest, but an
hour before the game was called the
spectators slashed their prices and were
apparently anxious to dispose of their
tickets at face value. Box seats for three
games, costing $3.50, were snapped up
at prices ranging from $40 to SEQ early
in the day. One visitor paid s125 for
three $3.50 seats for to-day's game.
Persons having seats to sell circulated
among the baseball crowds thronging the
hotel corridors peddling their wares. The
spectators also were busy on street cor
ners and other. places where baseball
crowds gathered.
Federal authorities made one arrest
and held one witness In connection with
the ticket selling. Under the law. specu-
Ia tors selling tickets for more than face
value are obliged to pay Federal war
tax of TO per cent. of the amount re-
ceived.
Revenue agents were stationed In
hotel Hobbies to watch for violations and
a score of suspected scalpers were Ques-
toned
