NOT THE BALL THAT

Amos Rusie Makes Few Deduc-
tiOnS From Observances
of a Season.
by WILLIAM u. HANNA.

when / came here last summer to
work at the Polo Grounds" said Amos
Rusie the other day in that drawl OF
his. ''and looked at the games for few
days the hard hitting had me Guessing.

hearing so much aboM.
But now that the seasons over" con-
tinued the one time king of pitchers.
I'm not so sure it was the ball. I'm
pretty sure 1t wasn't. I'm not saying
what l think 1t WIS, but I've seen a lot
OF pitching since them I hadn't seen when
l came here. Beyomd that I'm not say
ing anything.
I'm not saying anything beyond the
fact that the pitching in the world series
and how hard 1t was to make base hits
convinced me that the bail didn't have
anything to do with the hard hitting OF
the regular season.
From the work done in the world
series it looks 10 me as II the practice
of giving a pitcher three days rest be-
tween games isn't necessary. A pitcher
ought to be able 10 go in two days a
week. and If he's strong he ought to be
able to work forty-eight or fifty games
a season."

games this yean though not ffty-two

back since he started in as q pocket

that there must be records of his early
performance on the archives of the

Paul Kirchell, who scouts the colleges
for the Yankees. tells of a game in
which he was catcher for Buffalo and
Ruth and Egan were the battery for
Baltimore. It was in Baltimore, and
back of the right field bleachers was
a clock. Ruth wasn't the demon then
he is now, or If so 1t hadn't been found
out. The order came from the bench to
pass Esan and take a. chance on Ruth.
Twas done, and then Ruth slammed
one across the bleachers and knocked
the hands loose from the clock.
Didn't I tell you he could hit?" piped
Jack Dunn's tenor voice from the Oriole
dugout.

There was a deal of slipshod work by

Special Despatch to TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
PRINCETON, y. j.. Nov. 1.-The Tigers

zle outside for nearly an hour.
Then Don Lourie, Vangerbig and Gill

punting with wet ball. Vangerbig' g
boots averaged just over so yards, while
the two veterans hit around As yards.
In the kicking line 1t was admitted
that Ken Smith won the prize with 2S
straight successful attempts at drop
kicks from the 25 yard line, wet ball
or no wet ball. Smith it was who con-
tributed six points to the Tiger total
against Virginia on the strength of his
toe. Roper then called together his
backs and ends for work in diagnosing
the elusive Harvard pass attack.
Final efforts We're divided to allow
individual coaching. Capt. Stan Keck,
Baker, Morgan, Hooper. Lipscomb and
other stalwart guards and tackles had
some exercise in charging up and down
the field. Meanwhile the ends were
getting their chance at the bucking

increased until it was a cold driving

Hard Games on saturday.

Bucknell will meet the Navy on Sat
urday, and the outlook is not all wheat
cakes and syrup for the Midshipmen,
who have not had real battle since
the Princeton game. Bucknell has a
strong defence and fine back In the
person of Bowser. Lafayette beat Buck
nell by 21 to z, Dut for three periods
Bucknell held the advantage. to 0.
1t was not until the final quarter
that Lafayette broke down the Bucknell
defence. The contest will provide hard
test for the Midshipmen--but not quite
as hard a game as that which the Cadets
will indulge in against Notre Dame.
Lafayette. which numbers among its
accomplishments a victory over Pitts
burgh. is undefeated, and II looks as IL
St will remain so for at least another
week. Pennsylvania, which will be met
on Saturday. does not seem equal to
the task. II Penn has the goods II will
have to show II against the Eastonians.
Penn's games have developed lot OF
ifs" and would haves' and should

shown or debate stopped.
Penn State expects some trouble from
Carnegie Tech. but we do not see any
serious danger there. Washington and

z. while Lehigh was easy for Penn State.

Capablanca Wins His
 Second Chess Victory


 Havana, April 10.-Jose R Capa- blanca, the Cuban chess master, won the tenth game of the worlds champ icnship match with Dr. Emanuel Lasker tonight, Dr. Lasker resigning after the sSth move.
 Capablanca has now won two games, Lasker none, and eight games have been drawn. pr. Lasker admitted afr ter playing began tonight that he had lost the game, but he did not resign at once, because, he explained, he and the chess public were anxious to know how Capabfanca would force the pieces. inasmuch as the position was very in- tricate, He took nearly fifty minutes before replying to Capablanca's 9th move which had been sealed when play ended Sunday morning.
 The play to the end was most deli berate, but the German master finally realized that it was useless to con- tinue and resigned before making his 68the move.
