\ The H. s. track squad will par kicipate in its premier meet of the Beason in Bristol tomorrow afterno oon. fontending with the Bristol High kchool. Last year, the boys from up khe state "outpointed'' the Red and Black Hill and Dalers. But as it Nas the Hilltop's first real track team they made a very good showing as shey did, losing by about two or three points. However, the local students have been going great guns on the cinder path for the past year or so, and should easily win over the Bris- tol athletes.
 k Coach Al Anderson will treck to Bristol with the following stracksters: Sa gal W. Lee. Morey.-<Bucker, Car roll, Vangor. Davis. SkaRe. Hinkle, Dean, J. Bernstein, Baird, Kane, Ran Idolph, G. Lee and Jack Fitzpatrick. Of these Anderson will pick ten to Compete.
 The most promising of the recruits lin the opinion of MT. Anderson are lfIinkle. Both boys have made the Ithree-mile in excellent time, but the Emetor would not disclose the exact dime. r
 MT. Anderson in in doubt whether Georgie Lee, Leo Griffin and Jack Kirkpatrick will be able to compete on account of difficulties the boys are Experiencing with the school faculty Iconcerning their studies.

Cold! But Fun With Str0U Hut
 Had Mighty Warna Time At Game

lBut only to be disturbed by the chatter of another bug of the freak play variety, who persisted in de i.crJbing to a group of shiverlng brethren of the National Pastime how Jack Kleinow, the old Yankee catcher, a few years back, made a h 3ne run on an infield hit out in Cleveland.
 The Fan in the Straw Hat again moved on.
 More Noisei Thunder c1apping noise!-When Frank Baker was sub stituted in the lineup for McNa1ly- a S1O bet was registered by a money bug who claimed that the eX-home run king wouldn't get hit There was much forensic oratory between cash was put up, with Connie Lewis the stakeholder. When the Playo- graph recorded Bakers first slam there was more hub-dubby stuff. And the Fan with the Straw Hat moved on.
 Only to run into another riot. A Mister Jiggers of the East Side be- came involved into wordy embroglio over the respective merits of Waite Hoyt and Artie Nehf as pitchers. It waxed D-d hot, much too warm with the Fan with the Straw Hat and he moved on. .

TIMES PLAYOGRAPH, 18th Oct. Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, and BUGS of all species made it a precarious day for the Fan with the Straw Hat at the Seventh Game of the Huge Series. Even the brief shower and the chilly breeZes that swept through Fairfield Ave. were powerless to disperee the insects.

NEW ONE ON RUTH

Another sport writer has turned to facetiouS comment to express his bent up feeling that Babe Ruth rather has something on him as baseball reporter says Ed. Cunningham in the Boston Herald.
 Ruth was thinking of lead for his own story of the game when he came up in the ninth So far he had nothing to write about The first pitch was over the plate, waist high. whipped it against the end of the right field grandstand cornice, and it bounded high into the bleachers.'
 Babes lead now should run as fol- lows:
 ssWhen I stepped to the plate in the ninth I signal1ed to Douglas for a straight ball right across the middle of the pan. He put it right in there end I made the greatest home run of the SerieS''

Up To Giants To Beat Waite Hoyt

New York. Oct. 13-The world series may end today in a victory for the New York Giants, but they will have to break themselves of the habit of getting whipped by Waite Hoyt the maz1ng young man who earns his living pitching for the Tanks. Twice ] already he has outwitted the McGraw men, permitting them no runs the first time and only one score last Monday
 Artie Nehf, left handed, but trust worthy, probably will pitch for the other days, when Hoyt worked. and he pitched well. His main trouble being the failure of his colleagues to render substantial encouragement with their bats.
 The Giants moved to within one game of basebaill's highest honors yesterday afternoon. when ShuffIin Phil Douglas obtained ? to 1 ver- dict over Carl Mays, who pitches like a ten pin player but gets there just the same. This victory was the fourth of the series for the Giants. The Tanks have won three. It was gan at the Polo Grounds last week that the Giants pranced ahead of the Huggins pack. Also 1t was, the fourth triumph for the National Leaguers In the last five games.

It is no secret l that they now tenant an unenviable l position, sometimes described as hay ing their backs to the wall
 For the present they can hitch | their wagon to Waite Hoyt but one | star cannot pull a team around every

Series Receipts
 Record Broken

A new record for worlds series receipts was made yesterday, when the grand total to date reached $SO4, 7S1. This is $S2 ,367 more than the previous high mark made in the series between the Cincinnati Nationals and the Chicago Americans in 1919.
 Should the Yankees win to- days game and force the series into the ninth and final game. the total receipts undoubtedly would pass the million dollar mark. As the receipts stand now, the total for the seven games is almost twelve times the aggre- gate collected in the 1905 series between the Giants and Philadel- phia Athletics. the first series played under the rules of the old National Commission.
