ON PERCY FIELD Cornell Eleven Beaten by a Score of 9 to 3, but Defeat Should Not Discourage Supporters A Sensational Run Wins for Visitors. Although Cornel! went down to defeat Saturday to the tune of 9 to 3, there is nothing in the defeat to discourage the supporters of the Ked and White team.

The aggregation from the Smoky City had been in training ramp weeks before the Cornell eleren began its practice. Furthermore, Pittsburgh is a heavier team. The game all the way through was one of the hardest fought of the early season contests ever seen nere ana the Cornell men surprised and gratified the coaches by the good fight they put up. Williamson's Wonderful Work. WTiilo iha vnrb nf Williamson, the Pittsburgh quarterback.

was the brightest indiTidual feature of the game; Taber and Barrett suffered only slightly in comparison with him. Taber played the best game he has eTer shown on Percy Field; on the offensive he carried the ball 83 yards, exactly one-half of the ground Cornell gained in lice rushes, and on the de fensive he stopped plays that had penetrated the line, ftener than any other backfield man. Barrett, too, played aii excellent game and while his tantalizing method of running back kicks was not nearly as spectacular as "Williamson's, he carried the latter's punts back 115 yards on six runs, which Is no mean feat considering that several times he ran with practically no In terference. In addition he made Cornell's only score on a drop-kick from The Backfield Strong. As in the TJrsinus game the backfield showed itself to be stronger than the line but Dan Reed's conscientious work with the Cornell forwards is already beginning to make itself evident.

If Williamson's 45-yard run ii the second period, which he made through the line is neglected, the Pittsburgh team made thirty yards less through the Cornell line than did the Varsity backfield. The Dartmouth shift which Pittsburgh worked repea- edly. succeeded principally because the man with the call coaxed toe Cornell end3 out too far and then shot through Just outside of tackle. After OHearn and Shelton had sized up the play correctly the runner was frequently thrown for a loss. Cool and Anderson.

broke through and broke up plays for substantial losses and onre the former beat his ends down the field under a punt, and Mucsick and BaHey, who with Anderson were the ocly Cornell linemen to play the entire game, both put up an excellent battle. It was early in the game when the Cornell men took the ball from Pittsburgh on a punt. Barrett then kicked a goal from the thirty yard line, scoring three points for the Red and White. Pittsburgh kicked to Cornell and by a fake punt Cornell went to Pittsburgh's twenty-six yard line. Bar- rett went through right tackle for five yards but that was the only gain.

He punted to Williamson of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh man who was well guarded by Peck dodged every Cornell man until he had crossed the line for a touchdown, making the score 6 to 3 in favor of the visitors, where it remained until the third quarter. Cornell Forced to Punt When Pittsburgh got the ball in the next period. Hanley was sent through for five yards. Williamson attempte-l a forward pass but failed, the ball touching the ground before any player touched it.

Pittsburgh punted. Shorty Taber took the ball on his thirty-fir? yard line and ran for ten yards. Cornell gained but little and was forced to punt. Williamson of Pittsburgh made a bu aiuuim me cna ouc iosi tne nan. Cornell turn, a poor pass was made to Tabor ho fumbled.

But Its field of plays was against its progress. O'Hearn, of Cornell, was a poor match for Herron, the right end of the visitors. Time and again the visitor put O'Hearn out of danger and In one instances disabled him temporarily. In the fourth period, Cornell had a fine opportunity to score. The ball was punted to Barrett who received it on Pittsburgh's 50-yard line.

The mighty arm of Wallace, the inimitable Wagner, and the splendid Lajoie are to be 6een on the diamond no more at least as far as the Important organizations go. It Is said the three have played their games of big league baseball.

Bobby Wallace, oldest in point of league service, came into the National League in 1S94. Jim McAleer had picked him off a semi-pro team in a Pennsylvania village. He was a slight, callow youth, but he mads good from the start. He could always be depended upon to beat Brooklyn, and had "'Husk" La Chance, a strong hitter, in such extremities that the latter would strife out every time -he faced Bobby. In 1S93.

Wallace was a mere boy, not really strong enough to pitch. Wallace pitched through 1S95. 1S96 and 1S97, with varying success. In 1S9S Jim McGarr, a great fielder and fighter, went wrong in the arm. Tebeau tried Jimmie Delehanty, one or the famous "Dels." at third and Jim 'fell down." McGarr filled out the season of 1S97, and in 1898 Wallace began to play third base.

He had a rare reputation inside of a month. Yet he was five years in the National League before he rlayed a game outside of the pitcher's box. Wallace was burning up the league as a third baseman when Jack O'Connor picked him for a great shortstop. "He is a great third baseman," said O'Connor, "but he will make a greater shortstop." That was four years before Wallace became the greatest shortstop that ever played ball. He played tnird base through 1S9S In Cleveland, and came to St.

Louis in 1S99. About June of that year EI McKean, the famous old shortstop of tbe Spiders, went wrong, too fat and slow, failed to hit and Tebeau got Lave Cross to play third and moved Wallace to short. No shortstop ever equaled Wallace ic two respects, covering ground on a fly ball in back of him and going to his right and making a long throw. He had even the great Wagner beaten there. Then Came Hans Wagner came into the league about July.

1897. He was three years behind Wallace, but probably an older man. The great German was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, maybe thirty, when he came in, and that is now three or four years older than Wallace, about fcrty-slx or forty-seven. An extraordinary chap, with cantil ful pass was made. Taber to Eckley, gaining 25 yard3.

Tsber shot through center for ten yards more. Cornell Near to Score. Collins was here substituted for Mueller. Collins took the ball and went through right guard for two yards. Barrett again through the same place for two more.

But the ball went no further. Pittsburgh bucked up and held the Cornellions who lost the ball within three yards of the goal. The ball was in Pittsburghs hands on the fifty-yard line when the whistle blew. The Cornell 3. Pittsburgh 9.

They All Can Figure Out They Would Use That $1,000 for Week's Work-Klein Is Sure to Be One of Them. These are days of deep wondering and near suspense for the umpire. In a week or ten days Governor John K. Tener and Ban Johnson will issue statements that will remove all doubts as to the lucky quartet, the membership of which now has the arbitrators guessing. Four will be extremely pleased at the list of selections and several others will be greatly disappointed.

For there is no denying that every veteran umpire in the two major leagues has decided Just how he can use that world's series plum of $1,000 for about one week's work. Working two hours a day for the few days needed to settle the baseball championship cannot be classed as arduous labor. The system now in vogue of having to call balls and strikes only once in every four games makes the work even lighter than it was a few years back and the remuneration has been doubled within the past five years. No wonder the umpires are eager for the coin and honor, rated in the order named. The sinecure of the entire baseball season is to stand at the end of one of the foul lines and judge balls batted near the line.

No Order for Assignment Neither league has any regular order for assigning the umpires for the world's series, hence the guessing that the officials indulge in. An umpire is likely to be called upon for three successive series, as has happened to Bill Klem during the past three years, or he may never get the coveted assignment. Bob Emslie, who has been in the National League for the past twenty-four seasons, has yet to make his first decision in a world's series, and the same goes for Mai Eason, who has been calling balls and strikes in the senior organization for the past five seasons. In the National League Bill Klem, who has no superior in his profession. has done more world's series work than any other National League um pire now in harness.

Hank O'Day worked in five series, the same as Klem, but he is now out of the work. Rigler is the only other active National Leaguer who has umpired in a se ries. In the American League Tommy Connolly has been the most active, figuring in five different series. Jack Sheridan has helped to conduct four, Silk O'Loughlin worked in three and Billy Evans has had two chances. Bill Dineen and Jack Egan have figured in one series each.

While the choices for the coming series must remain in doubt until the league presidents have spoken it is a safe guess that several umpires will not be considered. Lack of major league experience is the reason, as no fiestion is raised about the honesty and competency of the men. The old er officials are naturally favored over the newcomers, and as the National League has several umpires who have served less than two seasons they are hardly likely to get a call. Hart, Johnson and O'Connor, of this year's crop, are eliminated. Orth has been out of the game since his injury at Philadel phia on June 22 and there is no prospect of his being selected.

Emslie has done no umpiring behind the plate in some time and he is most likely out of it. Byron and Quigley, who came into the league last year, may get some consideration, but seldom does an umpire get into the series on such brief service In the majors. This narrows the National League staff down to Bill Klem, Charley Rigler and Mai Easo. Klem seems to be wanted always because of his unusual ability as an umpire. Between Rigler and Eason it would not be surprising if Eason got the call, in view of the fact that he has never figured in a world's series, while Rigler has been in three of the last four.

In the American League In the American League the guesswork furnishes more of a proposition in view of the number of umpires who have qualified as veterans. The only one of the old timers who is practically out of it is Jack Sheridan, who does all his umpiring on the bases. Billy Evans, by many considered the best umpire in the Johnson circuit, seems due for another assignment as he has had only two series, as compared with Connolly's five and O'Loughlin's three. Dineen and Egan, with one apiece, look about even for the next choice. Egan umpired last year and Dineen has not umpired since 1911, so he may get it.

Ban Johnson regards every official as highly competent and likes to distribute the favors. Doctor's wife "How did you find the patient this morning, James?" Doctor "It looks to me as if she's in for a serious illness, but I don't want to be too sansuine." Life- HE WORLD SE I rific line drives. No ball player except Fred Dunlap was as easy and graceful in his movements as Lajoie. He was the personification of suppleness and esse. He walked like a big cat, as Speake-walks today.

In one respect Lajoie had all other players beaten. His wonderful eye enabled him to combine the motion of the pitcher, the speed of the ball ar.d the swing of the batter in one composite picture, and he was off where the ball would hit long before it was hit. No one ever hit so easily, so carelessly, yet so sweetly, as Lajoie. When he was batting next to that king of stylists, Ed Delehanty, ball players were wont to hold that "Del" was the better hitter, because they said, ho hit a fewer bad balls than the Frenchman. Delehanty took a fuller and harder swing than Lajoie and hit them further, but not so truly on a lina.

Lajoie would hit nine of ten balls on a dead line, sometimes to outfield era playing against the fence. Wagner was the greatest all round ball rlayer of the three who have ended their big league careers. He coul.I run bases much better than Lajoi-3 and hit much heavier than Wallace. Lajoie could run bases, but never tried to do so. Larry always hated to slide.

Hence, though as great a hitter and fielder as Wagner, he never classed with Honus as great a ball player. PEPPER BIG FACTOR IN ATHLETIC WORK "It's dishearteningto have to play the Athletics;" says Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis Browns. "I believed that we would be able to win three out of six from the Mack-men in' our last series. I primed my team for the series, and we fought like wildcats, yet the best we could do was get one game out of six.

"There is no use talking. The Athletics look unbeatable. If we score two runs, they score three. When wo get three runs, they wil come back and score four. "They haven't a single weakness.

Some good teams are strong at bat. but weak in defense of pitchers, but in the Athletics case one can't point to a single department which isn't as strong as adamant. "Their pepper Is wonderful. They act as if they had been in last place most of the year and by a wonderful spurt have a chance for the pennant. In one of the games they tied the score by getting two runs.

Why, the players threw bats and caps in the air and they acted like they had won the game that gave them a pennant." M'GRAW OPPOSED TO PLAYING YANKS Somebody said yesterday that there might be no post-season series between the Giants and Yankees; that McGraw was opposed because he felt that his players did not deserve extra money in view of their failure to win the pennant; also that several Giants, who can get real money for "reporting" the world's series, want to get away to Boston and Philadelphia. In their present form, the Giants would not have the supposed picnic with the Chanceless team. FIELDER JONES MAY GO TO BROOKFEDS It is persistently rumored that Fielder Jones, who recently signed a three year contract to manage the SL Louis Feds, will not remain in that berth next year. The gossips say that Jcnes will succeed Bill Bradley as leader of the Brookfeds. Bradley In taid to be dissatisfied with condition at Washington Park, his friends declaring that he has not been allowed to have his own way.

So far Jones has accomplished little or nothing with the Mound City team. "Pa. what's a siege gun "It's mechanical device used for altering fiiaoa. ion." Boston TrajQKcrint. 111 fmmn "PATTERSON'S SEAL for mine around the shop.
