PUBLIC TO GET ARMY
 AUTOS AT BIG SALE
Unless Congress Finds Way to Trans fer Equipment, Thousands of
 Machines Will Be Sold.

Washington, Sept 26-In the event of automobiles, the public will have an opportunity to buy Cadillacs, Packards, Chandlers, Lodges, Hud- sons, Bucks and ether makes, in cluding Fords.
 Some cars are new, but most of them have been used. Congressional critics of the War Department de- clare there are 47,O00 machines that could be called surplus, but this fig ure is entirely too high.
 Thousands of machines however. will be sold if Congress decides no more army automobiles and trucks shall be transferred to other Federal departm ents without compensation The Post Office Department is the one exception, the Paymaster Gen. eral having funds to buy trucks
 The sales, if made, probably will be at public auction rather than at fixed prices, but Uncle Saw will get at least fair return for every vehicle sold.
 The Senate and House Military Committees have been requested to make a further study of the situa- tfon. A draft of proposed legislation authorizing additional transfers has been jointly agreed upon by the sev- eral Federal departments concerned. It is a question whether these de- partm ments may acquire army motor equipment or buy in the open mar ket later when funds are available.

NO PUBLIC TICKET SALE
All Will Be Handled by Service Athletic Associations, Each to Be Allotted 13,S54 Seats.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 26.-There will be no free tickets to the Army Navy football game at the Polo Grounds, New York, for distribution to the public, and it is likely that the tickets, which may be purchased at $3 or s3.50, can be obtained only through the members of the Army or Navy Athletic associations. There will be 44,000 tickets, each institution receiving 13,85 for distribution to it's members. This is expected to allow each member of the Navy Athletic association only two tickets.
 The others will be on sale to the members of the association, and the only chance the general public will have will be to purchase through them. If any remain unsold after November IS, which is unlikely they will be sold by the National Exhibi- tion company, owners of the Polo Grounds. It is thought that the money received will just about cover the cost of the special stands and other expenses.

The varsity and second team lined up against each other for a ten minute scrimmage, after which the seconds were replaced by the third outfit. The second and third team wound up the days scrimmage- period with a tussle.
 La Roche, varsity quarter, exhibited some pretty football yesterday both iE the way he ran his team and in making gains. One, a ten yard dodg- ing run through center for a touch down and another for the distance around end, netted the second scoring. In bunting and drop kicking there seemed to be no dearth of material. A1drich and Lay seemed to have the edge on the punters, while in the drop kicking line Throne, Murphy and Jim Braden easily have the call. Ed.

HARVARD COACHES SMLIE,
Work of Crimson Team the Reason
 HoTween Boots One Over.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 26-Jim- my Knox and the other Harvard sec ond team coaches were smiling at the end of yesterdays football practice in the stadium, for the scrubs took their first shot at the varsity and scored touchdown and a goal. A field goal by Ralph Horween was the cnly SCOT ing done by the regular men.
 Coach Fisher of the regulars scat tered bis first string men and substi- tutes into the scrimmage, but there was a pretty fair array of varsity tal- ent in the going when Eli Stillman. one of the scrub backs, broke through the varsity's right wing and ran sixty-f1ve yards for a touchdown Then the scrubs were given the ball on the varsity's 10 yard line and "dareI" to score again. This they could not do on line plays, but Ben Hunneman, last years S. A. T. c. fullback, sent over a drop kick goal from the 22 yard line.
 Horween's goal for the varsity was made earlier in the scrimmage from about the 25 yard line, where the regulars had been stopped.
 Hamiltoll, one of the most promis- ing of the halfbacks, smashed his nose m making a tackle, and will be out a few days.

TANKS WH|TEWASH
 ATHLE7ICS' COLTS
New York Fans Impressed With
 New Team Mack Has Secured

New York, Sept. 26.-Judged by the work of Connie Mack's Atlanta team, which was beaten by the Yankees, 4 to 0, on the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon in the presence of 5000 appreciative fans, it is a slight improvement over the team that started in the American league race last spring under the manage ment of Cornelius McGillicuddy. Of 10 players from Philadelphia in yes- terday's game, only one-Burns-had been in the lineup of the Athletics early in the season. The others came from Atlanta, which club was bought by Mack.
 Without doubt, MT. Mack, with the able assistance of Harry Davis and Paddy Livingstone, seeks to mold the Atlanta aggregation into a champion ship nine for business purposes next season, and the indications are that the trio of noted field generals will have their work cut out for them. However, there are some promising young gentlemen in the lineup, notably Griffin, the first baseman, with the telescopic reach and the pervasive digital clutch.
 Griffin made some catches of erratically thrown balls during the game that would have done credit to any first-sacker in the country. He also showed ability with the willow. He clouted two of the four hits col lected by the successors to the White Elephants. The score:
 r. h. e. Philadelphia 1000 900 0O0-o Q New York 900 O01 O3x-4 Mogridge and Ruel; Johnson, Finn and Walker.

Hard Smash by Manager Decides
 Contest Over Dodgers

 Dodgers broke loose with a terrific assault upon George Smith and Larry Cheney in the seventh and eighth innings and overcame a Philadelphia their own in their half of the eighth inning and sewed up the game, 10 to g. Ernie Krueger jolted G. Smith for a home run with one on in the seventh and clouted Larry Cheney for another homer with two on in the eighth. Taking a leaf from Krueger's book, Manager Cravath, pinch hitting for Cheney in Philadel- phia's half of the eighth, larruped a homer to left that manufa ctured the tying and winning runs. Meusel was on base when Cravath hit his homer. All told, four circuit drives were hit during the hectic afternoon. Besides those by Krueger and CraV- ath, Blackburne nicked Galore for a home run in the third with one on base. Philadelphia jumped on Cadore for a total of i hits, including two home runs and a double. Brooklyn got to G. Smith and Cheney for nine hits, including three doubles and two home runs. Cadore stuck it out to the bitter end. G. Smith was blown off the peak in the eighth and Cheney finished the game for Philadelphia.
 With Brooklyn leading, g to 5, in the eighth, singles by Callahan and Bancroft and a pass to Paulette filled the bases. Meusel batted for Adams and cleaned the paths with a single to center, taking second on the throw-in. Cravath then broke up the game with his homer.
