Easton's star quarterback, Leidy, was on the bench, during the whole game, and the second, third and fourth teams played the second period entirely.

The second team presented practically the same amount of strength as did tlie first, anil the other subs had no difficulty In gaining. Easton used line smashes and end runs most of the time, using an occasional forward pass. Long runs followed one after the other, with Captain Asbton. Schibach, Hanlon, Morrison and Grube doing spectacular work. Easton also put Stroudshurg's misplays to good account, intercepting several forward.

WAS HARVEST OF GOLD Hardest Fought Series Clash Was Between Giants and Boston in 1912 New York. Sept. 2C From a spectacular viewpoint the World Series of 1023, in which the New York Yankees turned- back the New York' Giants and climbed the championship peak after two previously unsuccessful battles with the McGraw men, eclipsed any on record, but the palm for-the hardest-fought title struggle goes to the famous series between the Giants and Boston Red Soxn 1912.

In that memorable fight for premier diamond honors a dozen years ago, the rival clans, led by John McGraw and Jake Stahl, fought through eight games, including an eleven-inning lie, before the Red Sox gained the verdict. Com ing from behind after apparently being hopelessly beaten, the Giants captured two games in a row, only to drop the eighth and deciding game in ten bitterly contested innings by a count of 3 to 2, with a fatal error by Fred Snodgrass, Giant outfielder, causing a defeat that was heart-breaking to the National Leaguers and their premier mound ace, Christy Mathewson. Observers of that series recall that so nerve wrncklir.g was the struggle played for the most part in cold weather and under the handicap of frequent hops back and forth between the two scenes of action, that players were scarcely able to control their emotions in the final game. When it was all over the rivnl managers declared their belief that their men could not have stood the strain of further competition. On only one other occasion has the series gone the limit of games before a decision was reached.

That was in 1909. when the Pittsburgh Pirates tri umphed over the Detroit Tigers. Each club won on alternate days in this battle until the Pirates made it four out of seven, with Babe Adams figuring as the outstanding hero with three of the Pittsburgh triumphs to his credit. In lliOS series rules called for the best five out of nine games to decide the chompinoship, and it took eight contests before the Boston Americans vanquished Pittsburgh. the same reg ulation prevailing, eight games were required before Cincinnati took the measure or the Chicago White Sox in 1919 and the Giants downed the Yankees in 1921, while Cleveland and Brooklyn met seven times in 1920 before the Indians triumphed.

The seven- geme rule has been in effect again since 1921. The quickest series on record was that of 1914. when the Boston Braves. after, their sensational pennant drive, overthrew Connie Mack's Athletics in four straight games. The Chicago Cubs, conquering Detroit in and the Giants, downing the Yankees In 1922, hung up records of four victories and no defeats, but in each of these instances a tie game prevented a clean sweep.

AS READING MANAGER International League Pilot Quits, With Four More Games to Play Reading. Sept. 26. Spencer Arthur Abbott, pilot of the Reading International league club, has tendered his resignation to the local directors and has departed for New York. There will be a meeting next week of the baseball men of this city where Abbott's resignation will be, or will not be accepted.

It is unlikely that the veteran manager will return another year. He has placed Byrd Lynn in charge of the remaining four games which will be played in Newark on Saturday and Sunday of this veek-eYid- While President Mao Moore officially has not accepted the re-appointment to that position which he has held for the past three years, It is thought by members of the present board that he will be induced to direct the business affairs for the season of 1923. Jake Dalibert will be playing manager, according to those who have foU lowed the business operations of the Reading club the past few 'weeks. It is known that Daubert has been very anxious to locate in this city, but first would have to be released by the Cincinnati club, owned by Garry Hermann, former chairman of the National Easeball Commission. It Is reported that Hermann, with Cincinnati men, will visit Reading within the next few days to look over the situation here.

Hermann will be in ths East for the world's series, he seldom misses any of the fall attractions. Paubert appears to be the logical man as he would add color to the league and would most likely play first base. There has been some question regarding Daubert being released from the Cincinnati club, but it is thought by major league players here that Jake would have no difficulty in going through with his plans for baseball in this city. There has been no successor named to the office left vacant by the restoration of Fred O. Sholenberger.

No I doubt a man from another city will come here when the reorganization of the baseball situation officially is an- SPENEAB OTT QUITS MUHLENBERG BOWS TO LAFAYETTE ELEVEN (Continued from Page Eleven) ire downed.

Time of periods, 15 minutes quarters. Epinard, Continental Champion, Second; Wise Coun- sellor Third Aqueduct Race Track, New York, Sept. 27. In one of the most thrilling races ofx American turf history, Ladkin, Major August Belmont's brilliant three year old by Fairplay-Lead-ing, ridden by Clarence Kummer, today won the second international special at a mile before a crowd of. 40,000.

The time was and the value to the winner 125,750. -Epinard, continental champion, again finished second, this time by a nose and coming fast a length ahead of Wise Counsellor, a Kentucky colt which conquered the French crack by a narrow margin on Labor Day in the first special at 6 furlongs. Lost in the glamour of the contest among the three leaders was a struggle between Zev and My high lights of last year hut dim today. Two lengths behind Wise Counsellor Zev finished fourth only a nose beyond his rival. Little Chief, the only starter trailed the field three lengths.

The Belmont colt flashed to the wire with Just enough to win from the flying Frenchman, who had gained two lengths in the final 50 yards, and it seemed would have won in another stride. Epinard's challenge came as Ladkin was shaking oft Wise Counsellor following a two horse race from the quarter post where Epinard was ridden into the rail r.nd out of the race temporarily by Wise Counsellor. The Incident at the quarter was the one disturbing factor of an otherwise brilliant spect.icJe. Epinard had broken away from his field and was away like a certain winner in tbe first sixteenth. At the far turn Wise Counsellor and Ladkin came up and in passing crossed Pierre Wert-heimer's colt from the fence.

From there they went on with Epinard strug- LADKIN CAPTURES INTERNATIONAL RACE ALL THE NEW FALL STYLES AND SHADES rmae SIX varus, ueunaru maue a uisi town.
