 New Haven, Sept. 27-The Yale varsity squad was given a 40 minute scrimmage against Doc Bulls scruo eleven yesterday afternoon in the Bowl. The work of the gray jerseyed athletes was so good that during this lengthy drill the regulars were only able to register two touchdOWns. Time and again the scrubs braced so strongly in the line that the varsity was forced to resort to chances to make their scores and both touch downs came as a result of long runs
 The first time the ball was carried across the scrubs goal line Beckett did the honors. He took the ball in a plunge on his own 40-yard line ana ran through the entire scrub team for 60 yards and a touchdown. Fol lowing this sensational bit Of work he kicked a field goal from behind a scrimmage formation.
 The second touchdown was made 20 minutes later by Neidlinger on an end run. Beckett failed to kick the goal.

 Muses |Jeenas Mutrie

New York, Sept. 27-"Giants in ac- ton as well as in stature,' unused old Jim Mutrie, one day more than quarter century ago as he sat observ ing the New York team, then an az gregation of siN-footers, stride to vic tory as easily as a fairybook man wearing seven-league boots would win d, Marathon race.
 Ever since they have been the Giants ssionaIIy, competitive ly and financially. Jim was the Daddy of the Giants and had the right to attach moniker to his fig urative progeny, but when he uttered of simple admiration A reporter sitting near to him usurped the min isterial function and did the baptis- ing.
 The Giants are now 40 years old. Mutrie brought the club into exist ence in 1883 by inducing John B. Day, a rabbid fan of the sideburns days, to finance his idea. Jim took the management and played the first sea- son on the old Polo Grounds, then on Fifth avenue, gaining admittance to the National League in it's initial year by replacing the Troy team.
 On that ''nine," figuratively and ac- tuaIIy mine" with no substitute pitchers nor catchers. were Buck Ewing. Mickey Welch. Roger Con nor, Pat Gillespie and Ed Haskins, all big muscular men. Mutrie remained as manager until Day sold his inter ests to Cornelius Van Cott in 1893. Van Cott didn't stick long, dispos1ng of the franchise in 1895 after the club had finished fifth in 1894.

 The following year McGraw's team won the pennant but refused to play the Boston Americans for the worlds championship. The refusal led to the formation of the former National Commission in the following year and it at once made mandatory a series of contests for the supremacy Of the world. The Giants won the pennant again the next year and de- feated the Philadelphia Athletics,
