THE AUSTIN DAILY STATESMAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1907. PAGE THREE UNIVERSITY AND A. M. IN TIE NEITHER SIDE SCORED IN GAME ON DALLAS FIELD. Dallas, Oct.

University of Texas and the Agricultural and Mechanical college elevens fought to a standstill and a tie this afternoon. More than 5000 people witnessed struggle, which ended without eithe: team scoring. The University team was first on the field. Caldwell kicked off for Texas at 4:20 p. m.

In the first half the Agricultural and Mechanical boys outplayed their opponents in nearly every phase of the game. At no time was the Agricultural and Mechanical's goal endangered. On two occasions the University had to fight to its full strength to keep a man from scoring. In the seconti half the University braced up. Its strong back field soon made itself apparent and the University team was never in danger.

After the game both Coach Larson and Coach Metzenthin expressed themselves as entirely pleased with work of their men. The Thanksgiving day game between the tWO to be played at Austin, looks good for either side at this distance. Today's lineup University A. and M. B.

Detroit, Oct. Chicago National league baseball team this afternoon at Bennett won the world's championship, defeating the Detroit Americans by the score of 2 to It was the fourth successive victory for the Chicago team in many days. Taking advantage of every slip made by the locals and running bases cleverly they scored two runs in the first two innings while the Detroit team did not succeed in getting one man over the home plate. The rooters who had 1 followed the Chicago team from the home city swarmed down to the diamond and showered the players with congratulations, Then several hundred of them formed in line and marched down Michigan avenue headed by a band, cheering and singing in celebration of their victory. It was a disappointing day for the local team in more ways than one.

The weather was raw and cold, entirely unfit for ball, and less than half of the expected 15,000 to 000 people attended the game, The official count of the attendance was 7370. The temperature was below 50 degrees and a raw wind swept across the field throughout the game. The sun slowly Cobb continued to second, beating the throw safely. Cobb then tried to steal third but was thrown out by Kling, the decision by Sheridan being so close that brought a storm of protest from Detroit supporters. Chicago scored in the opening inning.

Slagle waited for a base on balls, Sheckard then fly to Jones and Howard struck out with two out. Slagle dashed for second base and was safe. Steinfeldt scored him with a single to center field. When Jones also opened in the first inning with a base on balls the Detroit supporters had visions of a run. Schaefer.

Crawford and Cobb were easy outs, however, and Jones was left at second base, Rossman dropped Coughlin's throw of Evers' grounder at the opening of the second inning and he was safe, taking second on Tinker's eingle after Schulte had popped out to Archer while trying to bunt. The pair of infielders then worked a clever double steal. Brown was given a base balls and the bases were full with one out. Evers on Slagle's grounder to Schaefer by which the center fielder was put out at first. Schekard ended the inning and the scoring the day.

The Detroit batters went out in order in the third, but Steinfeldt opened Chicago's half of the inning with a threebase hit to the crowd in left field, which Jones could not get. It looked like another run Chicago, but Kling grounded to O'Leary and the shortstop threw out Steinfeldt at the plate. In the fourth inning Detroit had its opportunity to score. Crawford opened with a two base hit. Cobb struck out, but Rossman singled.

He did not, however run towards second base to draw a throw from the Chicago outfield and there was no opportunity for Crawford to score. The next two men were easy outs. Howard and Steinfeldt singled in succession in the fifth with two out, but Howard was thrown out at third by Jones while trying to take two bases on Steinfeldt's hit. Slagle singled in the seventh inning with two out and was thrown out. Schulte also singled in the ninth, but with two out did not score.

A base balls and Coughlin's error followed Schulte's single in this inning filling the bases, but by clever work Mullin struck out Slagle. Jones singled with two out for Detroit In the fifth inning and stole second, but was left when Schaefer fouled out. Cobb'g two-base hit in the sixth failed to bring a run for Detroit, and Rossman's single in the ninth was also fruitless, the next two men flying out. The Chicago team left tonight for home on the Michigan Central road at 9:10 0 o'clock. The gross receipts today were 638, of which the players received broke through the clouds only once and then for but a few moments.

Mullin Brown both pitched well, but the Chicago man received stronger support from his teal mates. Brown was also steadier than Mullin, giving but one base on balls while Mullin gave three, one of which developed into a run in the first inning. There was missing in the play of the Detroit team again this afternoon the dash and vim which carried them to the top of the American league and won the pennant for them, The local team had a man on third base but twice during the game and each time Brown held the succeeding batters safely. In an effort to check the base stealing of Chicago, Manager Jennings sent in his colt catcher, Archer, to receive Mullin, but the Chicago men succeeded in stealing four bases from him, stolen bases figuring materially in the scoring of both their runs. Tinker and Evers made a fine double steal in the second inning.

Jones and Coughlin succeeded in stealing bases this afternoon from the clever Kling, whose throwing to bases so largely in Chicago's victories. Cobb, the generally accepted star of the Detrolt team, showed a flash of his usual form on bases the sixth inning, when he stretched his hit to right field into a double. He rounded first base as the ball bounded towards Schulte and when the fielder handled it a bit slowly Cobb continued to second, beating 0 000 000 000 000 000 000 00 00 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 G.

Cranberry Profits. Pilgrim Fathers found the cranberthe in its wild state, and its cultivation began only about seventy-five years ago. That the raising of cranberries under conditions suited to them is extremely profitable is shown by the statement, upon the authority of a government expert, that a bog of five and five-eighth acres has paid 1ts owner a net profit of $10 a day, year in and year at least thirteen years. Another bog of fiftyfour acres has paid for itself seven times over in eighteen Union.

EDWARDS COLLEGE FIGHT HARD BATTLE, NEITHER SIDE BEING ABLE TO CROSS GOAL LINE, BASKETBALL STARTS Freshman Girls Are Defeated by Upper Classmen in Interesting Contest, Putting Up Excellent Game for First of Season, While about 300 students were at Dallas yesterday with plenty to do, there was no lack of amusement for the stay-at-homes. Two contests were held, one football game and one basketball, the former attracting large number of men students, the latter proving a drawing card for the girls. St. Edwards', Scrubs, 0. Following the lead of the first team at Dallas, the second team yesterday afternoon kept their opponents from scoring, but were unable to score themselves.

For two twenty minute halves the two teams battled but neither was able to get a man across the goal line, although the College team were only three yards from the last white line at one stage of the game. Here, however, the Texans braced and held their opponents for three downs, saving the game by getting the ball on downs and kicking into safe territory. Several apparently good tries for goals from field were failures on account of the adverse wind. Edwards' kept the ball in 'Texas' half for a large part of the game, forward passing being responsible for most of the Callaghan's gains, although none of the latter were large. The Scrubs line held like a wall throughout the game and kept their opponents working hard.

Forward passes by Texas proved to be poor ground-gainers. Owing to the number of men given trials on each side there is nothing to be said of individual starring or merits. Both sides showed lack of training and it was easily seen that they were made up of inexperienced and green players for the most part. Father O'Connor refereed and Professor Carroll umpired. Mr.

A game was played between teams from the Freshmen and upper class girls, resulting in a victory for the latter by the score of 21 to 5. The Freshmen played a very plucky game, showing remarkable quickness and skill considering their inexperience and the fact that they had never before played together.
