 Burleigh Grimes went the route and though frequently in trouble, kept the Pirates from scoring until the ninth when Traynor's single and Maranville's double, with nobody out, tied the score
 Taylor saved the Dodgers from prob able defeat by picking the Rabbit off second by a fine throw.
 Kremer kept pace with Grimes until the sixth, when Mitchell scored for Brooklyn on a single, a steal and Four nier's hit.

VIRGINIA POINTS
 FOR HARVARD GO

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Sept. 21.--(Spe- cial. )-Virginia has one week more in which to get ready for the opening game of the season with Hampden- Sid ney. But though Head Coach Earle Nealle is not understanding the strength of the Presbyterians, he is looking ahead to October when the Virginians will go north to play Harv- ard.
 A year ago the fast Furman team caught Virginia off guard in the opening game and Coach Neale has made up his mind that nothing of this sort will hap pen again. Consequently he is working for the first contest as though Hamp- den-Sidney were one of the strongest teams on the seedule. If the game turns out to be a set-up the substitutes will get a chance, otherwise the first varsity will battle through the full hour.
 Coach Neale is still shifting his men from place to place in an effort to work out the Strongest possible combination for his line.
