BY HENRY L. FARRELL,

NEW YORK, oct. Heads up,
feet stepping. Miller Higgins and
his Yankees hove brislxly today into
the third station Of their journey
toward the pennant.
Wobbling behind on weary legs,
the Giants of John McGraw beat a
rather disconsolate tramp, two big
games in the rear.
With seven of their heavy hitters
hitless in two games, with the plate
untouched in eight innings and with
two OF their best pitchers beaten,
the Giants bore nothing in their de-
meanor to back up we're not dis
couraged."
The great form shown by the Yam
kee pitchers. the impregnable de-
fense of the infield that hasn't wob-
bled once and a daring game of wild
running on the bases that complete
ly surprised the Giants. has made
the Yanks a three to one favorite in
the betting.
Since the Yanks first took the field
Wednesday. they have been the IA
vorites of the home crowd, but their
supporters did not back it up with
money. The great reception given
the American League champions
when they appeared in the first two
games had a very visible effect in
fiattening the spirits of the Giants.
They must have felt that they were
on an enemy field instead of within
the confines OF their own home.
The backs of the Giants really are
fat against the well-known wall to-
day. One more victory by the Yanks
will make the Giants cause almost
hopeless. The fighting spirit which
brought the McGraw tribe to vic
tory in the National League race
when the Pittsburgh Pirates seemed
to have it cinched has been missing
in this series. Compared to the
dash and vim of the Yanks' play. the
Giants look like they are "dogging
It,"
Fred Toney. the heavyweight
hurler OF the McGraw band, will do
the hurting for the Giants, according
to the plans this morning.
'Toney for three innings and then
trot out Barnes and the reserves" a
Yank fan yelled from the stands af-
ter the second game.
Either the sailor, Bob Shawkey.
or the portsider, Harry Harper. will
do the pitching for the Yankees.

IN SHAPE TO PLAY
special to The evening journal.

Special TO The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Oct Coach Derby
managed to install more "pep" in the
University Of Delaware football
squad during practice yesterday aft
ernqon than has been noticed this
season. The varsity Is apparently
showing some Improvement over its
previous work and went through the
scrubs for good gains in the scrim-
mage yesterday.
~Dutch" Carl who played on the
scrubs the past two years reported
for practice this week for the first
time this season, and with Elliott
who also returned this week. have
added considerable strength to the
scrubs.
There viii only be a signal practice
this afternoon preparatory to the
game with Johns Hopkins at Balti-
more tomorrow.
While Captain Holton is still ham
dicapped by an injured leg which
has bothered him since the early
practice at College Park he will no
doubt be started in tomorrows
game doc" Steel. who was injur-
ed in the Penn game has not recov-
cred sufficiently to join the varsity
squad. These men with Bud Har-
per and Ted" Dantz, two OF the
scrubs made up the crippled list.
Mcdonald. the star halfback. was
not out for practice yesterday and
his absence was not explained. Much
tirne has been spent during the prac-
tice this week by the scrubs run
ming OF some Hopkins plays noted
by a scout who saw Hopkins play
last Saturday while the varsity has
been drilled in breaking up these
plays. Whether OF not this scout
system gains the team anything is
doubtful In most instances the
plays that a team has been trained
to break up are never used by their
opponents and consequently the
players are in a position of always
watching for something that never
happens which no doubt results in
loss 10 the general strength or the
team.
The. Delaware lineup against
Hopkins tomorrow will probably be
Magaw and Manning or Betzmer,
ends; Holton and Repp. tackles;
Aiken and Hurf. guards; Lilly. cen
tire; Schaeffer. quarterback; McDon-
AID and Jackson, halfbacks and VIII
1iams. fullback.

MILFORD. oct. z. - A meeting
was held in Milford last evening by
representatives Of the Dover. and
Milford baseball clubs to come to
some understanding concerning the
proposition Of the two towns becom-
Ing members of the proposed league
that is being formed on the eastern
shore Of Maryland.
Committees were appointed to at
tend the meeting at Salisbury to-
night. when IL will be decided who
will become members Of the new
league, and whether the league will
become a part of organized baseball.
Those to represent Dover and Mil
ford at the Salisbury meeting were
instructed to join the new league. II
there are places open for them, but
II was agreed that neither town was
to become a member unless there
was room for both.
IL is stated there Is so many towns
endeavoring TO become members OF
this league that it IS doubtful II
there will be room for both Milford
and Dover. but Il is significant that
Milford has been requested to at
tend.
The committee from Milford TO
attend the meeting will be DR.. e. T.

shawkey has had sore arm near
ly all season but he looked great IN
his last start against the Athletics.
If his control is right, Harper ought
to have no trouble in beating the
National Leaguers with the game
they have been playing.
Victory today will make it look
like the series in straight games for
the American Leaguers. If the
Giants fall this afternoon again they
have the discouraging prospect of
Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt in the
ofiipg.
The paid admission yesterday was
34,s39 for total receipts of s115,32O.
Despite the rather small crowd at
the first game it was now apparent
that all attendance and receipts rec
ords may be broken. The present
record for receipts was made in 1919
when the Cincinnati Reds and the
Chicago White Sox drew $722,414 in
eight games.
