The rows will be started about fifty

will run abreast, following the pace of
the pole men for one lap, to give the

Haven, Sept. 27. Frank Hinkoy
and his assistan's spent the major part
of the practice to-day telling the mem?
bers of the S'ale football team their
mi-.takes in the Maine game on Satur?
day. The failure to charge as a unit
was pointed out to the forwards, the
ends were taken to tank for the gains
made around the wine- in the last few
momenta of play, and the work of the
?as cri t ici -cd for its lack of pol?
ish. The showing made by the team
on Saturday was "fair," according to
Bud 'Iall.ott, one of the coaches.
That the faults are not considered
real!*, serious, however, was Indicated
by the fart that there was not a change
in the 'varsity line-up from the way
the eleven lined up to start the Maine
game. The re;*-iilarg were put through
a snappy signal practico and a long
period of Individual instruction, which
the cool weather helped to make more
There was no morning drill to?
il. iy, although there will be one to?
morrow.
Hereafter the practices will be re?
stricted to 80 minutes of work, Instead
of a v. hule afternoon, a.? was the case
last season. Hinkoy is making an effort
to make the workout a concentrated
affair, foil of snap. Carl White, last
year's regular cent??, reported to-day
and looks In fine condition. He and
'Tie" Way will fight it out for the
position.
Ihe second and third teams scrim?
maged and the latter won, despite the
fact that Harry La Coir* played at full?
1 ack en the reeond. The third team,
a? have been
dubed, scored two touchdown? and a
safety.
Tha freshman squad reported for the
first time. Forty candidatos appeared,
but all except seventeen were sent back
to take examinations. Kirkpatrick,

Exeter, and ('allanan, of Andover, were
some of the promising ones to report

Princeton, X. J.. ??pt 27. The !arg

Princeton this season reported at the
field for practice this afternoon. About
???venty-l.vo men, divided into six teams,
worked nearly the whole afternoon. All
who -played In the opening game were
on trie field, and except for a few
scratches were none the worse for wear.
Kuih has picked out a 'varsity ?quad
of thirty-t.ine men and the training
table probably will be started on
Wednesday.
The scrub has been practising; some of
the c'ose formations which Rutgers is
expected to use in the game next Satur?
day, and this afternoon Rush sent this
team against the 'varsity for a few
minutes just before tha close of prac?
tice
Tibbott was back In harness and waa

It has been s campaign that long ago got. sway from even the geniaa of
John J. Meiiraw a winner of five fl.igs ?within twelve seasons.
Rut through all thi? drearineil there have been two radiant spota for
tho?e who follow the fortune? of the sforssaid (liants. One has been the
grand campaign that Fred. Merkle, the much maligned, has pat away?one of
the best year? for nil around value that any ball player ever know.
And the cher has been the dpshing return of laughing, larruping I.arry
Doyle.
Doyle vs. Luderus.
Doyle ii one of ?he fine chsracters of baseball a big hearted Irishman
who loves his game beyond any money It might make for him. It was Doyle
who said that if he were worth a million he would still play bali -because a
million could never buy htm the fun that baseball brought.
And after Larry's had year In 1914. those who know him are rooting
1 i?'.':v for him to lead the National League this fall at hat especially as
Luderus, hit main rival, will enjoy the glory and kale of a world series wind-up.
Doyle and Luderue started the present week only one point apart. The
Philadelphia slugger was batting .320, while Doyle was poised at .319.
ffltb eight games to plav, the batting flni.'h between these two leaders en
the Land of Swat should be the most Interesting session of the National
League, now that the flag race is over and the hurly-burly has subsided. These
two will bat and battle for the^throne held by Jake Daubert for two campaigns,
although Jake still has a bare chance to maintain his reign by batting heavily
at the finish. Dauhert at present is twelve points away?a tough handicap
with only a week to travel.
Watching Out for Harvard.
There have been rumors that before autumn had paased Into winter Percy
Haughton would join McOraw, Mack, MeLoughlin, Ouimet, Williame and one
or two other champions sent to the shadows for a year's reit.
But these rumors may have been somewhat exaggerated. Unless both
Yale and Princeton, also Cornell, are well beyond last season, form, Harvard
will bear some very intimate watching. First class men are plentiful In the
Crimson line with Soucy, Cowan, Bigelow, Coolidge and Parson wearing the
harness. And how much better back field material does a keen Instructor need
thsn Mahan, McKinlock, Fnwright, King and Watson?
Harvard footbnll fortunes were supposed to be at comparatively low ebb
through the passing of Hardwlck, Brickley, Pennock and others, but by No?
vember the 1915 ( ritnsot! machine will be only a short stride hack of last
year's great array, if early season prospects may be taken st a pries sround
ten cents s hogshead.
Yale will undoubtedly be better than a year ago and so will Princeton. ?
Yale, because her material looks better and Hlnkey's open game will have had
a season's test under fire. Princeton, because In Rush she haa a leader who
looks to be the man that Nassau has been looking for these last ten years.
Maxims of the 19th Hole.
My son, there Is one thing thy mind can mark well?that he that
taketh mach time over his shots and atandeth rigidly above his hall Is a
duffer, was a duffer, and always sill he a duffer, though he play for SOS
?"years.
He that fnsseth over his ??hots Is an abomination and a scourge, and It
were better for all concerned that a millstone were tied around his neck
and he were dropped fathom? deep In the nearest water hazard.
"The Phillies and Red Sox will spend this week getting opon edge for the
big series." Contemp. So they may do some sharp fielding er, rather, that
they may be able to cut away a lead?
Catching vs. Speed.
Ty Cobb will lead the American League this aeason In baie stealing, with
from P5 to 100 pilfers to his credit In addition to Cobb, there will be at least
four others Malsel, Shotten, Collins snd Milan who will steal above 40 baaes.
Yet Max Carey, of Pittsburgh, who Is well below these five, will lead the
National League sround the towpsths. Five American Leaguers will outromp
Carey. Does this mean that the National League is well ahead in backstopplng
or that the National hasn't a base runner to class with the first five in the
American?
The second guesi is closer to the correct reply. Cobb, Malsel, Colllni,
Shotten and Milan also would be the five lea?!ing base runners in the other
circuit if they were ever shifted. They stand as the main class of the two '<
fields.
Thore who believe that Interest in baseball is fading to the gray ash are
evidently in no position to secure world series tickets for various friends.
Otherwise thay would figure baseball Interest at its whitest heal .
The esteemed Maekmen by all rival club? are now on the verge of losing
more games in a season than they ever won. There are eight or a dozen meth- ?
ods of setting a new record.

O?IMET WINS A

two strokes better than Oulmet. Philip

the national amateur championship, and
Gardiner W. White, of Flushing. Mars
ton faltered later, however, and took
82 for the round, while Ouimet and
Carer each returned 75 and tied for
the medal with 15.1.
The committee decided to have the
play-off at once, and the distance was
1 nine holes. Carter took the lead on
the second holo. when Ouimet couldn't
get his three, but the Massachusetts
player drew level on the fifth by re?
cording a four, I under par. They
ran along evenly to the ninth, where
Ouimet, having 'he honor, laid his tee
shot within eighteen feet of the pin.
' On the like Carter came to within
about twenty-five feet and then ran his

It is odd that Henry J. Topping should
fail to gam a place in the first sis
teen in a tournament on his home links,
but this i? what actually happened. He
played with Ouimet as a partner, but
never could Bettle to his true game, re?
turning N and "9 for the rounds. He
had company in the nvnor division,
however, for Charles E. Van Vleck, jr.,
of Baltu?rol, needed 91 and M, while
Dwight Partridge, of Bedford, the
Woatchestor champion, took 90 and H3.
Van Vleck's score was Btaterially en?
larged when he found it necessary to
take 12 on the third hole, a matter
of 370 yards, with the par estimated at
4. As he expressed it, "I stood up
! there like a soldier and sent thru? baila
into the brook, and then tried to plav
| out."
It was the desire of the club officials
to gel together a field sufficiently large
to provide for three sixteens in maten
play with all of the players, except
those from the home club, being rated
on the handicap list of the United
States Golf Association.
Besides those already mentioned, such
men as Francis R. Blossom, of Yale,
the intercollegiate champion; W. Park?
er Seeley, of Brooklawn, former Con?
necticut title holder; John M. Ward,
of Garden City; Reginald II. Lewis, of
Ridgefield. and F. S. Games, of Yale,
who was responsible for his alma mater
winning the intercollegiate team cham?
pionship, found places in tha chief di?
vision.
The draw for the match play begin?
