Pie Traynor safe at third third game of the World Series RUTGERS LOSES TO MARYLAND Stevens And Beatty Heroes For Old Liners In 16-To-O Triumph. Philadelphia, Oct. 10. A well-drilled, scrappy University of Maryland football team vanquished the Scarlet of Rutgers, 16 to 0, on Franklin Field this afternoon In the third game between these foes.

The victory gave the College Parkers the upper hand in the series, two games to one. Eight thousand fang braved a biting wind, which left its impress even through heavy overcoats, and were rewarded with the best game played so far this season on the historic Quaker gridiron. i Ktevena And Beatty Star. Mike Stevens, Maryland halfback, who was not in the opening line-up, with a field goal provided the spark which enabled the Black and Gold to chalk up a more impressive triumph than would have been the case had his three-pointer been the only Bcore. Inserted In the Maryland back field after Whelchel was injured, Stevens opened the throttle wide.

His debut was a center crash, followed by racing with an aerial snugged under his arm. A few minutes later he crashed through the Scarlet line and wriggled his way over the goal mark, but was called back because both teams were off side. Then he booted a pretty field goal for the first score of the conflict. Beatty Recovers Fumble. Bill Beatty, the ever alert right end of Curly Byrd'a machine, twice recov ered Rutgers' fumbles and his mates converted the recoveries into touchdowns.

Thus to Stevens and Beatty belongs a major portion of laurel sprigs. But there were- other stars many of them not the least sparkling of whom was Bill Supplee, captain and left end of the Maryland eleven. Supplee put up a bang-up game on the wing and got off some of the best punts of the season on Penn's field. Thomas, Parker and Whelchel nil gained consistently for the College Park ers. Some well-directed passes by Tenny also were factors in the victory.

natirera Fumbles. Rutgers, though defeated, was far from disgraced. With the Scarlet it -was a case of two fumbles too many. Jack Wallace charges put up a great game and were out-first-down by only one first down from scrimmage. They made 10 to Maryland's 1L Marrland (it).

Midship- men Victory Over Mil-' waukee Team, 19-0. ROYCE FLIP PEN STAR Scores Two Touchdowns. Vind Big Factor In Deciding Honors. A Annapolis, Oct. 10.

Showing great alertness in following the ball and tak-' ing foil advantage of the opportunities "when they came their way, the Annapolis Midshipmen triumphed over Marquette JTniversity on Farragut Field to 0. Revenge was sweet for the Middies, who last year were forced to bow to their intersectlonal opponents, 21 to 3, aa a mase of forward passes swept them off their feet. It was a different i Navy team today than that of last year, however. The Naval lads registered eight first downs against one' for Marquette. Visitors Fist lit Pino Vlly.

Not that the visitors did hot put up plucky fight against the advantage of weight, however, for they did all the way, and the Middies at no stage developed a sustained attack. The leftside Marquette's line was protected on the flank all-Western end for two years. The Middies, therefore directed most of their plays on the other side. The weather was cool and snappy for football, but a gale from the northwest, proved a factor in the outcome. Nearly every kick with the wind bounded well into the opposing team's zone, while those against it generally fell short.

had the advantage of the punting duel with Demoling. t-'Twice the Middies invaded the opposing goal line in the 'second period and once more- the- final session. Royce Flippen, sturdy left halfback, was the big cog in the Navy attack, and registered two of the scores. Shapley made the others. Only one of the tries for added point was successful.

Marquette Wins Ton. Marquette won the toss and elected to defend the' northwest "goal. Flippen's kick-off carried and Leichtfuss brought it back from- the 10-yard line to the 22-yard point; Then began a panting duel. Following two exchanges of kicks, Marquette started an advance from midfield only to lose on a fumble which was recovered by Navy. Soon after that the visitors got as far as Navy's 40-yard only to lose the bail on downs.

There was a different turn of affairs when the teams changed sides of the field. Shapley did some good punting With the aid of the wind, holding play in Marquette's zone. When Demoling punted outside at his own 45-yard line, Flippen circled Murquette's right for 20 yards. Banks added four through tackle. The same player fumbled, but recovered on Marquette's 20-yard chalk.

On a double play from Hamilton, Flip-pen again skirted the visitors' right win for 14 yards, planting' the ball all yards from the goal. The Golden avalanche made a great defensive stand, end as the final resort to tally came the forward pass from Hamilton to Shapley. Shapley failed at the extra point from placement kick. Fumble Paves Way. Two minutes later the wind carried another punt of Shapley's to Marquette's 14-yard point, where Demoling was thrown outside.

This was destined to bring about Navy's second tally, leichtfuss gained two yards off tackle, but on the next scrimmage the same player fumbled and Bernet gathered up the ball and advanced five yards before being downed. Caldwell gained four yards, but Navy suffered a five-yard penalty for off side. Shapley retrieved the loss by an end run. Marquette put up another desperate stand here, but the reliable Flippen thrust through the line for the needed two yards to a touchdown. Shapley kicked placement goal for the extra point.

Despite the fact 'that the Middies still retained the advantage of wind at the opening of the second half and out-rushed the enemy, they were unable to get within striking distance during the third period. More than half time of the final session had expired when Shapley booted the ball to Marquette's five-yard line. Curtin, substitute quarterback, fell back for a kick and fumbled. Again Bernet was on the ball like a flash. In two plays at the line Flippen went over for the third touchdown.

ByW. WILSON WING ATK. One fatal slip and for 54. minutes Hopkins was like a gladiator entangled in his own net. The game was only six minutes old when Walker Taylor, -captain and quarterback of the local eleven, made the disastrous mistake that gave Haverford the victory In the opening game of the season at Homcwood.

An intercepted forward pass, thrown from within Hopkins' 20-yard line, gave the Pennsylvanians the only score of the contest. Sassman failed to add the extra point after Webster had intercepted the aerial and carried the ball across Hopkins' goal line, so the final score was to 0. VUltora Retain Grip. From that time on nothing that Hopkins had to offer in the way of an attack could suffice to break the death grip that Haverford had taken on' the battle. Sally after sally was launched from the Black and Blue stronghold and drive after drive threatened to sweep over the breastwork which the visitors quickly threw about around the cherished six points.

But each suceeding offensive, however bravely it started on its way, was doomed to break at the critical moment and beat itself to pieces as the desperate invaders dug in on the last few yards in front of their goal line. It was an unusual sight to see a Van Orman-coached machine place itself in an early hole against a rival of Its class and then be forced to fight A losing bat tie for the rest of the journey. Always it had been the custom of his elevens lo play for the very kind of advantage that fell to Haverford yesterday, ana ordinarily they succeeded. Cuose Wrong Play. But yesterday things were ditferer.t.

It wasn't the Van Orman method of doing things. Possibly Taylor still had somewhere back in his subconscious recollections the memory of the opening play of the game last Thanksgiving Day at Baltimore Stadium the play that came within an ace of shaking a man loose for a touchdown which, had the execution been carried all the way to its culmination, would have given Hop kins its first victory over Maryland since Bobby Hoffman's dropkick turned the trick. More probably Taylor, a rather daring type of pilot, missed the steadying influence of Tom Magill and Doug Turnbull. Had either of them been in the game the chances are the mistake never would have been made. Wind Hart Chances.

Certainly circumstances seemed to cry out against such a move as Taylor attempted. He had to pass into the teeth of a veritable gale, which made the danger of interception all the more imminent.

By HUGH FIXLERTOX. Washington, Oct. 10. Washington won the greatest, the most sensations) and the most erratic baseball game it the history of the World Series todu. by a score of 4 to 3.

Players, umpire and even the scorers were wild with excitement nnd with more than 30,000 men and women, with the President of the nited States and with most of the. great men of the Government present, the two teams gsve one of tb wetrde! and most exciting exhibition of baseball ever en. Neither team should have won. Neither should have lost. And tba umpires each should have been charged with a defeat nnd let It go as a tie.

Bftt one of the greatest catches ever made, performed by Sam Rice, who, run ning wild and making a leaping, twitting acrobatic catch, dragged down a lone drive at the end of the eighth inning and turned a boms run into an out, broke the heart but not tb lighting spirit of the Pirate. That catch, coupled with weird nw plring, will make the third game of this World Ferle the most diseused Id history. MrKerhale Withdraw Protest. Manager Bill McKechnie filed a latest of Washington' victory, but late withdrew It. Bill claimed that drive at the end of the Inning went out of eight after ltii mad the catch and should have ben a bom run Instead of an out.

Kechnle claimed that I'mpire Riglir could not ee the play. After talkim, with Judge Landi the Pirate lead-'t-withdrew hi protest. McKechnie bad no sound grounds protesting the score, a it was a question of Judgment of the umpire, ami Rigler declared Rice caught and held tha ball before colliding with the barrier and disappearing from sight of the grand stand occupant even if the bail was jarred out of his band. Rigler stands on the ground that he held i long enough to constitute a catch undc the rule. Gat Break, Bat Ara TJnlaeky.

The Senators, after dragging along tha nick, fighting every inch of i-way, erring and then recovering their prestige, came to the seventh inning still behind and forced to call on reserve to ave them from undeserved defeat. Tba Pirate had tha luck. ha-, the break and yet seemed unlucky. Two displayed fly ball had giver Pittsburgh the adrantaga and it hard and at times brilliantly to hol.i It. Washington, the supposedly sternly team, was a wild aa a hawk, and Fer guson, who did not figure a a World Berie pitcher, wa Id trouble all the time.

Mostly the trouble waa not oi hi own making. At time ha aeemed bout to throw hi game away and In-backing saved him. At other momenl-he cemed to be pitching great ball and then his support imasbed. On must make allowances for an erratic game because it waa played under tba wont circumstance ever known ii-a World Series sine tb Cubs ami Tigers fought at Ietrolt in sleet ami snow in KMtH. A bitter gale, with the thermometer below 40, with dust storms sweeping the diamond and with every fly ball hit a danger point, made good baseball im possible.

There seemed, however, to be no atmospheric reason for tha umpiring or tha scoring. The umpire had even a tongher day than the player did. Three time they reversed their own decision, while the official scorer only reversed their judgment twice. And those umpire, player and ownere performing before the moat select crowd ever gath ered to witness a ball game pulled one that should go down in history. a ftabstltate Shot In.

During the winning rally of the Senators in the seventh Inning the manager-shot substitutes into play as fast a possible. Ielbold was sent to bat for Ferguson and drew a pass and McNeely was sent In to run for him. Then In the eighth Inning Marberry went in to pitch, which made him sub for Fer guson. eel went to the ounield and in the ninth Inning, with a runner on base, Msrherry rams to bat and batted In McNeely place, laid down a bant and two leagues, four umpire and a (core of players went to sleep and forgot the point. It would have been more Interesting had Washington been forced to play its ninth inning anil no one would have known who.

should bat in place of Joe who, after practically winning the game with sinsle. retired dnring the amendments tlie liue-tip. 1 have tiever seen as much good and as much bad baseball clutteiTd up in one game. But the fact remains that Harris, using Alex Ferguson as pitcher, won a game and puts the series alniuM in the bands of the Senators.

Bill Roper's revamped lino was unable to produce a sustained drive and, although the play was almost entirely in Washington and Lee's the Generals held Princeton for downs twice within the five-yard line and once on the eight-yard marker. Princeton earned fifteen first downs to Washington and Lee's while Jake Slagle completed nine of his twelve attempts at forward passes for a 'gain of 10(3 yards. The Generala completed three of four attempts for a total gain of forty yards, which led to their touchdown. Score On Safety. Princeton's first score came on a safety as a result of Rauber's punt from behind his own goal line, the wind catchirig the ball as It rose above the ten-yard line and carrying it back of the last white line, where Rauber fell on it and the scorekeeper chalked up two points for Princeton.

Roper had started a back field, composed -of Dignan, Bridges, Disston and Booth, and this combination was unable to tally during the first quarter. Slagle, Weekes and Ewing went in with Dignan shortly before the second period and before the new Princeton outfit could work together the Generals had unleashed their aerial attack. Princeton (lfi).

Everyone had a bad case of rattles on the ball field today, umpires, player and official scorers all having bad momenta. Goose Goslio struck out In the first Inning and want to second when Karl Smith let tha third strike go by for a passed ball. A strike was already called on Judge when it was ruled, after a belated protest by the Pirates, that Ooslln was entitled only to first base. The Goose waa sent back to first and the strike against Judge was withdrawn. The official scorers also booted on on this strikeout of Ooslln.

They gave Smith a passed ball and also plastered him with an error. Later they erased the error. The players had some bad lapse. Carey tore off a hit, labeled a single, and when Rice momentarily held the halt and no one covered second, the Pirate dashed for the middle bag and beat the throw. He got a two-base bit for hia spryness.

Everyone gut snarled up in the eighth Inning, Including McKechnle, Harris and the players. Ieibold batted for Ferguson In the seventh and was passed. McNeely ran for Leibold. Marberry went in to pitch In the next inning. After the Pirates had been disposed of.

Ruel singled and McNeely should have batted, but instead Marberry appeared at the plate and sacrificed, although there was a howl from the press box. No one heard It and the Inning wasover when Rice went out. Marberry should have batted in Joe Harris' place. After the game both McKechnie nd Harrla admitted they had overlooked Marberry' batting out of turn. It had no part, however, in the winning of the game.

Stan Harris ordered Goose Gonlin to pull the unexpected in the seventh and the Goose did. With a man on first and second and one out the Goose swung heavily nt a curve around his neck and fouled the ball. The Pirate Infield played far back, anticipating a heavy drive, while tb outfielder perched up against the fences. Ooslln then bnnted find the Pirates were confounded that they stood still while the Goose flew to first and the bags were filled. The Pirates moved like chain lightning on the base.

They alwaya went from first to third on hits to right field, beating the throws to the bag. Stan Harris did some master-mind work oh defense. In the eighth Inning he yanked out Joe Harris and sent Kiee to right field and put McNeely In renter. Hies was then in position to rob Karl Smith of a home run by a circus catch, a play thiif Joe Harris could not have madf. Gooxe Gntdiii smacked his fourth home mn of his World Series play.

He accumulated three in ll24 against the Giant pitchers. The Goose heeded the cry of tha Washington fans, "Come on Goosel" Ring On Game ARD1VEB. played "The Star-Spuni and he had to stand up again. lie seemed to be singing under bis breath and it is said that he was making up a parody line dedicated to tha Washington players who failed to get some very important hits in Pittsburgh Thursday. The line was as follows: The bums popping In the air gave proof through the afternoon that Vic Aldridge was still there." nd ire's Hat Quite Smoky.

Judge Landis went and sat In the 'resident's box for a moment. The President was decked out In a beautiful new salmon colored hat, while, with all due respect to the Judge, it must be admitted that bis own fedora looked like it had sjient two or three days in Pittsburgh. The visiting boys scored a run in the second because Joe Harris tried to make a catch of Pic Traynor' short Texas leaguer to right. Pie dashed around to third and came tn on Wright's long fly to J. Harris, whose throw might have caught somebody who was In no special hurry.

The Senators lost a slim chance to score In their half when Max Carey dropped Peck' fly with two out. Max should not be found fault with fnr this little slip. He has been smacked three times with pitched balls in bis throwing arm and was beginning to wonder whether a World Series is worthwhile after all. Oswald Bluege was wondering the same thing with whnt Vic Aldridge left of his wondering apparatus. Max stopped wondering in the fifth long enough to take two bases on a single, which Is against the rules In polite leagues.

Anybody Bat A Uoom, When the score was 3 to 1 In favor of Pittsburgh- In the -sixth, Ooslln smacked a home run Into the right-field seats. Anybody but a goose would have waited till, there was a man on base, In which rasa the wallop would have tied the arore. However, his mighty blow gave the Pirates such a crop of goose flesh that they stood flatfooted and watched him heat out a bunt, when he cam up in the seventh-inning ralamity. Those of tis up in the exposed press box waf enjoying the same aliment for another reason. tine of the sensations of today's pre-gnme episodes was the big cheer that went up when the writer of these lines entered Mr.

Griffith's Stndium. It was learned later that I had been mistaken President Coolidge's father. As we struggle out of the park then is a report that Bill McKerhnie ha protested the gsme. Mj reply to Bll is: "So do By HIS a Washington, Oct. 10.

They had better get this over quick or there won't be space enough in the District of Columbia asylums to hold all those who are going to apply for a room without bath. In the first place, the people who came to the ball park without being obliged to can be voted a little off color, as it was no place to be for a person with any regard for health. Ttie cold seemed to go to everybody's head In I he eighth nmng. It wus in this wild session that Sam Rice fell into the right-field seals after a terrific smack by Enrl Smith and sooner or Inter came up with the ball. Whether or not "Sam caught the ball will always be between tlm and his Maker.

I um not his Maker. Several of those setting in those seats were in position to tell the truth, but it is kind of hard to reach people hy phone in Washington this week, especially when you don't know their name and don't want to. At Ireland Park. A moment later Washington sent Marberry to bat in somebody else's turn-. At least that was what we thought in the iceberg they have nicknamed the press box, I mean those of us who weren't too congealed to think.

Nobody on the benches or playing field seemed to agree with us and maybe we were all wrong. It wouldn't be the first time or yet the last time. Anyway it didn't make a difference in the result and the neutral element is tickled to death that the pastime didn't go into extra innings, in which event they would have had to chip one and all out of the ball park with icepicks. Washington is supposed to be far enough south to get out of October blizzards, but if that is the rase It is just as well for our widows and kiddies that the American league penant was not won by Philadelphia. If any of the ball players or umpires are accused of having cold feet at this game they can justly retort "Who didn't?" Many Knvled Blnese.
